[Q] Power Button Intermittent Problem

I have had my Sensation a while now and generally pleased, we all know that Sense 3 is a bit laggy especially if you want a live wallpaper.
Over the last few days though I have noticed an issue with the power button when pressing to wake the phone up it doesn't always work first time, pressing a second time usually works but sometimes needs 3 presses.
I thought it was software rather than hardware as I have noticed the capacitive buttons at the bottom lighting up for a split second when pressing the power button but the screen doesn't come on.
What is wierd though is that pressing the power button to go into standby always works without fail...
A factory reset today has not fixed the problem.
Anyone else heard or experienced this? before I contact HTC.
I really don't wanna be without a phone if they want it back for repair..

same problem bud, not sure what it is. very annoying.

Noise and bootloader issues....

I'm loving my new HTC one x but have found a few issues that aren't life threatening just curious lol.
1. most important is there a new trick to get to hboot? I tried the power + volume down method with no luck. My soft keys at the bottom don't even flash as I have read in other posts happens.
2. If you hold your phone up to your ear and give it a shake it seems something is loose. Immediately thinking micro sim I removed it and shook again but noise is still present. Anyone else confirm?
3. What the heck are the five silver sensor like things on the phones back for? I've read and read even the HTC website doesn't mention them. Antenna?
Thanks in advance for any answers.
Edit: I have a stock AT&T one x, fast boot is off.

I also have the #2 issue - even if I hold the volume and power buttons I still hear the noise. On other phones in the past similar noise has been from the camera shutter, not sure if this is the same.
#3 = The pins on the back are "POGO" pins for phone docks/mounts.

Yea I think #2 is camera.
Pogo pins huh never thought of that lol.

1. Only way to do it
2. Sound of the shutter
3. pogo pins for accessories (different from HOX international)

Entering bootloader is definitely harder than any other phone I've had but here's a little trick to try when phone is on press and hold the power button until the menu pops up select restart then hold the volume button down keep holding the volume down until the phone reboots into bootloader.

Don't forget if you power down your device it goes to "sleep".this is to allow" quickboot" In order to get into bootloader on other htc phones you needed to take out the battery and it shuts it down fully, now on this phone you need to hold the power button for 10 seconds /5 capacitive button flashes and it give you an option to shut down device... Once you do this and the device is off (just like a battery pull) press and hold power and -vol (down), that will bring up bootloader... Hope this helps

Can't you go into settings and disable quickboot just like in every other HTC Phone to date? (HTC One S, Amaze, Sensation, MyTouch 4G, Evo 4G, etc) I know from personal experience all of those have a quickboot that can be disabled.

[Q] Desire S broken? Buttons sometimes don't work

Hello!
A few days ago my desire s started acting very weird. Sometimes the four buttons don't work (home, back, etc.) and sometimes my finger gestures aren't recognised. For example if I want to call somebody and then click on the home button my device thinks I pressed on the call button instead. Or if I am in some menu and I click on some of the four buttons, my desire s thinks I pressed the display somewhere else on the screen. Sometimes it helps if I turn the display off and then immediately on. But after a few clicks the same behaviour again.
I wanted to install a custom rom anyway, so I did a full wipe and installed Fallout. But nothing changed. Do you think my device is broken?

Ive had this top my screen was replaced under warranty mine was stick at the time

Your phone has somehow been exposed to high temperatures?

Not that I am aware of. Though these things happened when I was out in the garden playing with my phone while the weather was pretty hot (about 30 degrees). But I don't think that you mean that with high temperatures, do you?

Excessive heat can lead to detachment of the adhesive that is bonded touchscreen, it's not making edge contact. It happened to my ex HTC Hero on a sunny day (the phone was black)

Have you tried factory reset maybe this fixes it

It happened here sometimes with gingerbread stock while on *charging*! Only when charging. It's not happening on ICS RUU update.

I had the same problem a fortnight to a week back... exactly as OP describes (phone 6 months old from new). I've factory reset and changed ROMs, the problem remains.
But since 4 days now, my phone has become completely unusable.
The back and menu touch buttons don't work at all now. And some area's of the screen are dead, and brown coloured.
It's a PITA every time I have to type anything as my keyboard keys don't work at all (and other area's). Then, randomly, after 2-10 seconds, none of the keys or phone touchscreen will work until I off->on the screen.
Anyone please any idea of a fix (to me, it looks like hardware)?
If not, anyone ANY idea how to add a back button somehow? Or even assign the search button the back button function?
I desperately need the back button working. TIA!

I have exactly the same problem with my Desire S (stock ICS). Anybody of you solved this?
Thanks.

Phone randomly turning off

My infuse is randomly turning off (not bootlooping). No particular time of the day. It is not critical but very annoying. Almost evertime I need the phone quickly, it appears off.
Currently running [ROM] 4.2.2 - Jellybean - AoCP 5.6 - The Collective - Final and it appears fine. I am also using an extended battery and though the case back was loose, so I checked that and put in a small wad of piece of paper as a filler to pack the battery in a little more and also cleaned all the terminal connections between battery and phone.
Just wondering if anyone else is having this issue and what to do to correct it?

yes i think its a pretty normal issue for a Infuse. Mine was doing that when i was running Froyo. Now it just reboots.

Reboot is the power button issue (most of the time). This one likes to turn off. Since I padded the case with a little wad of paper, no turn offs but I suspect, now that I said it, it will start turning off again...LOL.

I've had issues with the phone mysteriously turning off ever since running JB. Maybe ICS too. I don't recall ever having an issue with 2.2.

We have five infuses in my family....3 on Froyo and two on GB. I am the designated troubleshooter. (geek)
We have occasional reboot, often during heavy use. I'm not sure I've ever seem them turn off...if it has happened, it's not often.

Its the power button. Lots of people have the issue. What I recommend is upgrading to a rom (Beanstalk for example) and in the settings have the volume buttons also turn on the screen and then download a remapper that you can change the power button

You sure about that? wouldn't power button issues making the phone restart rather than simply turn off?
I guess if the power button did not work at all and simply was non-responsive the phone could be on and you'd never know it for sure, but at least in my case I know I've missed phone calls when it's off so i dont think that is the case.

I don't think it is the power button issue. It randomly turned off, it did not just reboot. Since I added a piece if paper between back and battery, it has only turned off once. Prior to that it was turning off a couple of times a day.

[Q] Power button not working

Hello all:
Today my power button has become nonresponsive. I've done nothing unusual with my phone but I do remember early in the morning it rather strangely vibrating 3 times while I was browsing something, and it wasn't a phone call nor an incoming text, and I'm wondering if that was a signifier of what was to come. In any event, the phone is functional otherwise, for I can still slide out the keyboard in order to wake the screen. However, I dare not let the battery completely run out, lest I not be able to turn it on anymore, and I can't do a reboot of the phone (or screen shot, for that matter) since the power + volume down button combo doesn't work; it just lowers my volume. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I had that happen once - just pop the back cover off & re-seat it, make sure it aligns properly. See if that fixes it.

good advice.
before closing the back lid, try to push the button with your finger nails.
if you don't feel the click and just feel mushy, then you are screwed. I lost my camera button in that way from day 1 and I thought it's the way it is.
You have to expect a tactile feedback with every buttons.
