Hi guys, I find this quite annoying and wish there is a mod for this. I don't know about other HTC Touch Pro owners but i find my fone quite sensitive.........it's "EASILY" turned on but a single "SHORT" press of the power button.
I didn't even hold it for 1 second, if i suddenly press or tap on it really quick, for not even a second, it turns on.
In case ppl don't understand and tell me that maybe my fone was on in the first place but just have the backlight off, and with a single tap on the power button, the backlight goes back on again. I knew that already. But what the problem really is, is that it's totally off, and when i tap the power on button, it turns on, i.e it vibrates and shows the welcome screen and all that other startup animation.
Is there a way to increase the delay of the finger-press on the power button? Coz it's so annoying that it gets turned on when i don't want it to, especially since this fone's weakness is that it hogs battery even though i've already applied tons of tweaks etc to lower the performance and increase battery life......
First I want to thanks xda and the great folks that made this tablet really useful and fun.
I am wondering if anyone else having the problem where when you press the power button to put the device to sleep, but the device does not quite go to sleep. I notice that if I press the capacitive buttons within 2 minutes of pressing the power button, the device would wake up again. I have tnt lite 2.2 installed. Any fix for that?
You can hold the power button for a couple seconds then release...you should see a menu with a sleep option
Yeah, I see the problem. And even telling it to sleep with the power button doesn't completely solve it- tapping on the home button for a while wakes up the screen.
But, as some people say, it's not a bug- at least if your power button dies, you have an alternate way of turning on the thing
My problem is with a timeout of 2 minutes, if I let it time out, the thing shuts down, not sleeps.
I know we have made some raised "covers" for preventing the turning on and off of the power button, but has anyone looked into software changes that would require an extra long press on the button for activation? Now it only takes a quick pulse to turn it on in the case, but it it took, say a 5 second hold to activate, this might cure 90 % of the random starts or shut downs.
What do you think?
Since the last update it seems that when I try to wake my surface from sleep, often the first press of the power button doesn't wake it and I have to press it again. Doesn't seem to be based on how hard or where I press on the button, and I'm extremely careful with my electronics so it hasn't been dropped or damaged.
Anyone else having this problem?
I've noticed this too, I just assumed it was my device being odd. I've actually thought it was dead and went to plug it in only to have it come on with like 70% battery.
reset it
go to settings->change PC settings->General->Refresh your PC without affecting your files.
i deleted the filed windows.old later and it is all good

its the new firmware...
After the recent upgrade you have to a long press to turn it on...
Same thing happening for me too. Not all the time but some time.
I noticed that it actually works on the first press, but takes some time to do. You just press it a second time before it can start the screen. May be caused by the new update though.
EDIT:
It takes about the same time to wake up like opening the touch/type cover. Maybe it got something to do with that?
1. Could be you're not pressing it firmly enough
2. Are you doing it right after you hibernate/sleep/shut it down? Because it takes a while if you do that.
3. Could be a faulty power button
4. I've had / noticed no problems in delay with the power button (could be it's such a insignificant thing to me that I don't seem to notice it)
I have de same problem since last update
Same Problem here.
I've occasionally seen this on my surface pro too. I think it mainly happens when I close the device and it goes to sleep or whatever and I try to turn it on again pretty quickly. But when you think about it, this is the same way a regular notebook would respond because it is still shutting itself down while you are trying to start it back up. We have just been spoiled with phones and tablets and expect an instant response.
If it is happening from a cold boot, then there might be some type of mechanical issue with your surface, because I've never had that problem.
it depends for me, if it is in sleep mode, clicking it once will wake it immediately, if it is hibernated, you need to hold it a little bit longer, it just behaves exactly like laptop's power button, if it is plugged, pressing once will turn it on too.
I have noticed the power button issue since the last update, I've also noticed my keyboard seems to disconnect as well if I use the device flat..
Same for me, but only if I didn't use it for some time.

This! Sometimes my keyboard goes wild and starts writing the last letter I typed in an endless loop (until I disconnect the touchtype keyboard
me too. to wake the device from deep sleep need a long press.
just a short press or use windows button is required if screen just turned black.
i called microsoft customer care and their devices did it too.
must be result of a recent patch
Do they consider it to be a bug though?
I appear to have trouble with my device's power button. I have a Pantech Sky Vega Racer 2 A830S which I took out of the box after a month in storage. It seemed okay the first few hours, but I started to notice that I could NOT put the phone into sleep when pressing on the power button once. It works like 1/10 presses. Sometimes, it even seems to do an extended hold even after just pressing once since the "power off, restart and sound profiles" popup appears.
Thankfully, the power button isn't doesn't seem to have a problem when the phone is off. When the phone is off, I can turn on the phone 100% of the time. Heck, when I remove the battery for a few minutes and turn on the phone again, the power button functions perfectly and I can sleep and wake with just a single press, no matter how fast I do it. Half an hour later it starts going haywire again. It appears this problem is truly isolated to when the phone is turned on. What could the problem be? It doesn't appear to be the physical power button mechanism. Could it be the battery or something power related shorting the buttons or something? The problem seems to be electrical in nature and I'm at the end of my wits here.
Any advice is appreciated. Thanks in advance.

hw button got jammed!!
try cleaning it up
be carefull!!!
Yeah I'd get some can air for computers and spray it. You may just have a piece of dirt lodged in there. In the mean time you could download an app that can put your device to sleep when you click on it I believe.
