"Change" the Power button? - HTC Sensation

Hey dear Sensation lovers
Since some weeks my Power Button seems to behave weird. And no he doesnt work at all. And now he doesnt work at all. If my phone turns off, i can only start it over adb .
And now my question is: can you edit the build.prop or some File , that the search Button is like the Power Button? Is this possible? Start the phone by pressing Any other Button?
Thanks .

I dont know if you are rooted or not,but if you are you can try brick kernel,it has swipe2wake feature which is a solution for you and its cool also.

Yes i'm rooted and also have sweep 2 Wake, but it's kinda annoying .. i'm using insertcoin with faux kernel...

Replace the power button, flex cable and contact chip - about $25 in parts but needs good eyesight and a steady hand!

Okay thx i'll have a look

Is there no way to use for example the search Button as unlock/Power Button? If my handy boots down i can only get it started via Adb.. kinda annoying
Good luck that there is sweep2wake... But.. yeah..

power switch contact chip
Where is the contact chip placed in the phone ?
Is it in top where the power button is?
I accidently broke the black tape which is on top of the power button, will the contact chip solve the problem ?

[Q] Clear Notifications Missing

Hi there. I just updated from Revolution HD 3.0.1 to 3.6.2 xe and I must say I'm impressed. I am having an annoying problem though: the "clear" button on the notifications pulldown has completely disappeared. Maybe I'm missing something, but I can't seem to get it back at all.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
Did you flash radio? If so can you please help me? I've tried the command prompt and everything but it gives me errors.

It magically reappeared by the time I woke up!
Not sure if it has anything whatsoever to do with the specific ROM (which is actually 3.6.1 XE, apologies for the mistype before) but it seems the solution here is to wait a bit before asking for help.

bovpassat: I'm possibly not the best person to help, but I would recommend you elaborating a little so people can understand your exact situation -
i.e., what does the error actually say? You say you tried everything, what else did you do aside from cmd?
Also, are you radio S-OFF?
I guess that's what I'd want to know first.

Got it to work, but now no clear notification like yours. I'll wait like you said and see if it comes back

A single question mark. That's it. No other punctuation. I'd love to help, but I have no clue how to break this one down. Longest sentence I've seen in a while.

same lmao, I also took a look cause I wouldn't mind helping but damn. I don't understand a thing.
First of all, what's your issue? "screen issue" is quite vague and apparently, your only problem is the carousel?
Then you mention screen sensitivity, so what's your problem exactly?
I'm just trying to help. I really don't think many other members will understand what you're trying to ask.. You need to elaborate

Maybe you should try recalibrate your touch screen. I think you problem is miss calibrate which cause when you tap touch screen to open certain app, but other app open.
But im not sure how to calibrate it. Read some where but forget it. Maybe in setting.

[Q][EMERGENCY]Sensation XE becoming Static[Q]

Hi XDA,
Honestly not having a good time with my Sensation's here pissed at HTC for the rubbish build quality they have been providing.
I have previously had three standard HTC Sensation's and I can confirm that none of them did this. Nor has any other phone I have ever owned that is 'Aluminium Uni-body' so I know that it isn't usual. I've had a Desire HD.
When plugging my HTC Sensation XE in to charge, as long as the device isn't touching anything such as wood the phone becomes charged. If you touch the Aluminium you can hear a humming sound and it feels 'tingly' to touch. I thought that maybe this would have something to do with the screen grounder, as the entire body of the phone creaks at the top right and goes in a lot (not under a lot of pressure either)
On several times I've actually been hurt when picking up the phone and it's on charge.
PLEASE HELP
Put a case on your phone.
Also I would suggest sending it back because one of the live wires has clearly come loose

I use always a clothe under the phone .
Do you think that it's likely one of the wires has come loose? I can't see any other way that the phone could become charged, it's not like there is any power source touching the outside of the phone.
I've looked everywhere on the Internet and I've been unable to find any referencing to this. Is it dangerous to my phone?
Thanks.

I think its highly likely a conductive wire has come loose and is touching the aluminum body of the phone. AFAIK that is the only way you can get the buzzing noise and the electric shocks because of the electricity conducting. You should probably send it back as I don't think its normal. Mine doesn't do it.

Headphone problems

I Just bought a htc sensation, and my headphones dont work proper, they are from a sony phone, and i have to hold down the headset button to let the sound sound good. I fixed it with some tape, but it goes loose all the time, so are there any other ways of fixing it??
Sent from my HTC Sensation Z710e using xda premium
Try another headphones, so you will know, if it's headphone or phone problem. As for headphones, replacing a jack is a good starter. I don't know what to do, if it's a phone problem though...full wipe and install a ROM I guess
I'm using my headset now, that works cuause that one doesnt have a headset button for callen. The other one does, guess i'll have to stick with this one :3

Someone posted this, which explains it very well. (2nd comment)
I had the same issue until I bought official HTC headphones which had some music skipping issue and it how the microphone was built would bug the f out of me now I have to use those white icraps headphones.
