Fixing power button? - HTC Sensation

I'm having the common issue with the power button not waking the phone properly and it seems to be a hardware issue.
Can anyone recommend a DIY fix?

Back button issues.

Sorry if this has been posted before but I'm having issues with the "back button" pressing itself. I would be in an app and my back button will suddenly press itself. Is anyone else having this issue or I just have a defective phone?
If this is common is there a way I could fix it?

[Q] Tight (bad-working) power button. How to fix?

Hello everyone! The problem is power button on my Asus TF. It needs to be pressed veeery hard and still it unlocks screen like only from 4th-5th attempt. That's annoying I would tell.
Is there any possiblity (tool for example) to make TF wake up from volume buttons (like in cyanogenmod 7) ?
Rooted 2.02 Prime ROM
Thx in advance for any help!
UPDATE: Just what I didn't want this issue to be, I now have a hardware power button issue. Not a software one... Guess it's RMA time!
I'm not so sure it is a hardware problem. Let me explain my situation.
My power button doesn't turn on nor turn off the tablet anymore. I cannot do a hard reset with the power problem depressed for 10-12 seconds like I used to be able to do. I'm not rooted otherwise I would use the Quick Reboot app!
I never had a hardware problem with my power button until just recently. After the 3.2.1 ASUS update it appeared that everything was fine, but a rogue app crashed the tablet (can't remember exactly which one, but I think I was installing some Equalizer/Sound apps to help with the speaker volume) and things weren't the same afterward.
I now have no way to power on the TF with the power button and need to attach the charging cable or dock for it to wake up!!!! Very annoying! I also cannot shut it off unless I let the display timeout or attach the dock and hit the lock key!
I've let it run down to 0% battery and then have had it do a (hard) restart, but that allowed the power button to turn on/of the TF for only a while. So I'm thinking it may be a software issue. Perhaps from the dock sleep fix we got from the latest ASUS 3.2.1 update?
Anyone else having issue with their power button? Would rooting help if it is a software issue?
Seems like your problem is not hardware yeah. Sorry for you, that should be rly annoying.
But mine i'm sure is hardware one ((
send it to asus for repair. i had the same problem and got it back
within 5 days. now everything is working well.
Well I did RMA the device today as the power button had become totally non-functional; I couldn't turn on/off the tablet nor could I do a shutdown (hold power button for 4+ seconds) or Hard Rest (hold down power button for 12+ seconds).
This time next week I hope to have my tablet back...

[Q] Power button bypass?

The other day my infuse's power button started dying, apparently i have bad luck with samsung buttons as my captivate's power button broke on me too. It started out just randomly lighting up as if it were touched, then moved on to rebooting, and now it just continuously plays the samsung logo over and over again, even when trying to go into recovery mode. Even with the plastic phone shell off, the problem persisted, so the plastic power button itself i know is not the issue.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any possible way to render the power button useless, and remap one of the volume keys or something as the power key instead.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated, I really don't want to have to pay samsung to repair it.
There's an app called button remapper or something along those lines. But I believe it will kill any other function that the volume button does, like volume control. If you don't use it for that purpose, then try it out.

[Q] About that broken power button. How to repair the hardware problem?

Hello there.
I finished in a problem that seems to happen quite often.
My power button does not respond anymore.
I have been deeling since yesterday with it thanks to this thread.
But now i have the phone in a bootloop thanks to a damaged ROM file...
- i can get to bootloader but power and volume keys do not respond,
like the power button is stuck being pressed, and adb does not see the device
- nothing else works.
I have to leave tomorrow for another country, so i am asking here for a quick solution.
Did anyone managed on his own to fix the problem which seems to be hardware?
Can anyone post a video or photos on how to open the Nexus and what to do to fix the button, or is it something that only the samsung service can deal with?
