For Christmas I got an otterbox case. I was happy about it and have had it on ever since, but when cleaning my one x screen I went to click the lock/power button and noticed it didn't click in like it used to and seemed a little bit harder to push. Its not really a problem but it aggravates me. Is there anyway to fix it?

Is the button itself jammed in? If you can't pop it out with something very fine, you might have to disassemble the phone to see what the state of the button looks like.

Well if I take the very edge of my finger nail (hard enough cause I hardly have any) and push I can feel it click... But with the pad of my finger it seems really hard to push. I won't put my otterbox case back on because I'm afraid of further damage

What otrebox r u using? Defender or commuter?
My first hox I had to warranty as power button never would depress . Lol I was rooted but they returned it as it just turned off and on .

Do you think this could be causing your vibration problem in your other thread you created.

Yep, another thing is a few gentle flicks in combination with a good jet of compressed air.

No because the vibration problem happened before my jammed button. It seems to only vibrate it if try multitasking excessively... Going between facebook, texting, internet, gmail. It doesn't happen that much

I noticed it was hard to push on my case after a few hours of use but I thought okay rubber... Its gonna take a little bit more, after a day or two it seem really difficult to push my power/lock button. So last night I took my case off and realized my button didn't click anymore, it works just doesn't click which makes it hard to use :/

A number of people have had that problem. Your options are to live with it or replace it. I know there's at least one guy in this forum it completely stopped on him and now he just runs roms that support sleep to wake lol
Sent from my HTC One XL using xda app-developers app
Like you said before, it might be the rubber getting in the way while you have the case on. By design, the power button is kinda hard to press anyways and feedback on that button is questionable at best. I have the Platinum Series case from Best Buy, and after 3 months of great use, the power tab broke off (After reading alot of feedback on that happening ..)
I've since moved to Elemental Kernel which enabled swipe to lock and unlock. Works a lot better than the button IMO. Only time you would need to use the power button in that case would be to reboot your phone.
I used to have an otterbox. Hated it. Once the rubber gets loose, you'll replace it and see that your buttons are fine. It's just the design of the case and the phone. The phone power button is actually kind of slightly down and not flat so it should be pushed in at an angle. The rubber button doesn't press at this angle until it gets pushed all the way down.
I am having this same issue. I purchased the phone used from a guy who used an otterbox case. I took the case off immediately when I bought it. There was gunk caked into the front camera, and the power button is tough to depress. I am rooted, so I doubt I can bring the phone back to AT&T.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

Okay this is really not big deal, but just though I'd tell you guys and ask y'all have the same thing on your sesation phone
When I press the screen hard, but not like its going to damage the screen, when I do, the screen or the back cover casing don't seem to be tight enough that its like loose.
Anyone here has this going on their sensation?

It's not even that. I know what he's talking about. Say you hold the phone and squeeze it slightly, it'll have a little give to it & will creak. Mine does the same thing. It's my only annoyance with the phone.

They made the battery cover just a little higher than the battery because after years of using your phone and charging your battery, the battery begins to expand. Its to accommodate the expansion of the battery after a year or so of using your phone. Be happy to hear it!

Are you sure? It would have to expand quite a bit.
I've put a piece of paper in mine for now, fixes the problem nicely and doesn't affect signal or wifi strength (I was worried it might).
It's a bit ridiculous but I rarely remove the back.
I have it too, not too concerned about it or anything though.

You can leave the paper in it for now, but ever 4-5 months or so, pull out the battery and spin it on a flat surface, if it spins, your battery is swelling, which usually comes with age. I'd say after about 1 1/2 years you can buy a new battery if you really need to, but for now, your good!
I'll keep that in mind for the future then, interesting.
Yup I have the issue also. Actually after reading this thread, I wouldn't say its an issue but perhaps a manufacture glitch. Guess we just have to deal with it.
Had this issue with my sensation. When I pressed the bottom right of the screen it creaked and clicked like there was a gap or the battery cover wasn't on the whole way. Funny thing was this started a couple days after having the phone and didn't do this at first. Just exchanged today and new one has no probs atm
Actually for me, the only creaking sound I hear is when I press the buttons on the bottom, especially the home button. But I have to press it kinda hard and towards the bottom left.

I returned it like 2 times now and the stupid thing is just falling apart on me every time. What have you guys done to fix it?
Just noticed mine doing this a day or 2 ago, the corner by the home button. It cant really be seen but you can feel it if you push towards the corner or push home decently hard.
Have not had this issue at all.
I have noticed that sometimes when push home button area. I can feel the glass "re-seat" back to where it should be. It's not much movement, but just enought to feel it pop back in. Love this phone, home it lasts another 14 months
This has scared me quite a bit a few days ago, I thought my screen was starting to fall off (it would "re-seat" when I pressed close to the home button, like bdaman80 said)... then I simply removed the sim card cover, and placed it back.
It's probably not the case if you had to return it, and its falling apart for real, for that I have nothing else to say other then, either take it back again, or search ebay for screen replacements to fix it yourself (some even come with the tools necessary).
Godspeed my friend!
I'll wait for it to get fully fubarred first.

I don't see it coming off completely. Me and a couple of my friends have had the same issue with ours and mine has been doing it for about 4 months now. It hasn't got any worse.
Oh ok good to know! This is the second one because volume switch on the original broke (trust me. It made clockwork interesting with only volume down.) so I didn't want to have to try to send it back. Worse case scenario, I have to buy a new screen and put it in myself. best case scenario, it just bugs us all for the next 15 months until renewal time haha
Mines lifted from the search button just a lil

This.. (Corner by the Home button)
I got mine a few days after launch and it started doing it about a week later. There were a bunch of threads shortly after launch about it. Mine has not gotten any worse - and the bottom of the screen is even shattered now, has been for about a month. I don't think the screen is going anywhere...
Got mine in November. Haven't had an issue with it. Hopefully I won't.

i have to agree, im going to c if they loosen up a little, or else ill just cut the power one out
I did that for the volume buttons on my TPU case, the power hole was open already, I used an Exacto knife to carve out the volume buttons and it's MUCH better now.
have this model for now 2 month without problem
i love the side grip
probably i cut the power button

so after 2 months it hasnt loosened up
i love the phone naked, but a little too slick and always worried that the phone would slip out of my hands, the case keeps the bulk down and side grip makes for a less chance of it flying out of my hands, but i could of done without it as the tpu skin would of sufficed
I've been using this case since February. It's really quite impressive for the price. It has probably saved me from a cracked screen at least once. For the price it's really good.
Just got mine in the mail yesterday. For $2.42 shipped, how could I pass it up? I love the look and feel of it (especially the feel), and while I appreciate the stiffness of the buttons making it hard to accidentally press something, they are very firm to the point of being difficult to press. Sucks because I love everything else about this case, especially the side grips, and it's easily my favorite among all the Skyrocket cases I've tried (Otterbox Defender, Diztronic TPU, a bunch of those cheap silicone/mesh hybrids and a Reiko case similar to the Defender, but with a kickstand). Do those buttons loosen up with time at all, or do they pretty much stay the same?

I hated the volume buttons on my TPU case so I cut them out so it's just an opening to the original buttons, same as the power button. I just used a box cutter and cut out around the outline, you can't even tell, and it's *so* much easier now.
I have this for a while and I'm pretty sure the buttons are loosening up with time, happens to me that i accidentally wake the phone clicking the volume keys while simply grabbing it. I only remove it when I'm flashing stuff and need to get to recovery often, then it's a bit annoying.
Just bought mine yesterday. Waiting now.

Well, I screwed this one up pretty good. I cut the covers for the power and volume buttons out, then realized that they're so far recessed in the case that I'll never be able to get to them. It's even less convenient now than it was when the buttons were impossible to press. Oops.
Diztronic TPU incoming.

It's actually clear and not grey like the pic. I haven't tried the diztronic, but this one is better than any silicone or soft shell hard case I've ever used. Sides have grips and doesn't stick to my jeans or slacks pockets. It's sturdy and holes line up. Doesn't interfere with my bestskinsever screen protector either.i can set it on a surface upside down and only the case touches. Very thin compared to silicon or hard shell.
Best thing is it doesn't hide the beautiful white one x!!!!
I had the same one and it turned yellow pretty quick, I did really like the case though.

I have the black one and have had it since I got the phone on launch day. No issues with it, it's made for the international so not everything is 100% perfect but it's close and never had issues with any cables, etc. No problems pressing power/volume on mine either.

Hi. Simple Problem but very annoying.
I can't put a cover/case on my HTC One S because when I do, the phone shut down.
The cover compress the back piece and makes the little button get stuck (as the same as if I was holding it) and then the phone shut down.
If I remove the back piece, I can put the cover/case on no problem. But than, that little button is hard to find and dust can enter in my phone.
Is this a problem that every user have with hard cover on their HTC One S?
I don't wanna spent another 15$ dollar on a gel cover that will make my phone do the same thing... but I wanna get a cover...
No cover, this phone won't last me a year!
You guys found a cover for your HTC One S?
I'm starting to think that it might not be a cover/case problem but a phone problem....
Thanks in advance !
Sorry for the english, not my first language.
havent used any case but i dont think your button is supposed to act in that manner
To be Sure, check with HTC service center and maybe they could help
