Hey guys. I'm coming from the HD2 where the power button (hardkey) if used for a long time would cause the digitizer to stop working due to some crazy reason I don't remember.
I would just like to know of the one on this phone can be weakened by being constantly used without worry of breaking down?

I haven't read anything about people's power buttons having stopped working myself however if you're concerned, you concerned, use swipe to wake for unlocking

Just curious if everyone else's buttons backlight all three are either lit up or not. On mine, the back and home are while the recent one is sometimes. My guess is that it's a defect. It's just weird that it'll light up with the others occasionally so I know the light works. I really hate to have to swap this thing out cause everything else works great.

I've been trying to figure this out, actually.
All three of mine are either on or off - but it seems like while the phone is plugged in (not being touched) with the screen on... the buttons are lit up all the time.
Only this morning they were off while the screen was on and the battery was charging. Very weird.
You know, I just noticed mine are off. Going to investigate.

Just realized they turn off when in a bright environment and turn back on when dark. I guess.I learned something today. lol

But it's all three correct? Not just the first two? My recent button hardly ever comes on..only occasionally.

Yeah, it's all 3. All 3 are either on or off. Yours is broken. I wouldn't really mind if all of mine just stayed off. lol

I could care less if they ever came on Hopefully an update will make it so we can turn them off/on or dim after a certain idle time.

It comes in handy at night. Other than that, they shouldn't come on. And damn, I didn't want to take mine back. I at least can get mine set back up pretty quickly.

What file contains the softkey mappings, and can it be changed without root?
System_usr_keylayout_generic.kl
And
No.

Thanks.
And,
crap.
So...just checking; I'm looking to swap the "recent apps" and "back" buttons, which are off-display keys, of course. Don't suppose that's in some other file that I can change without root...somehow?
And if I really can't change them, how are after-market keyboards possible?
Keyboards are software.
You're looking to map hardware.
You need root to do that.
There are very easy Play Store apps that (once you're rooted) make it easy (I.e ButtonRemapper)

But of course I can't do that now, given that I can't even RUU back to 1.85.
Man, I know I have short thumbs and all, but does no one else have trouble using the phone right-hand only?
Dude please: I despise the power button. It doesn't click right. I came from a S3 but left it because I hated the home button. Now I found this phone that I completely love,but I hate that button. What we need is a dev to get Sweep2Wake running like on the Tegra model

Yeah the power button could be more clicky. It is hard to press. What i did was flash cm9/10 and use volume wake. WAY better.
My power button doesn't stick out very much at all. It used to be a nice clicky button but now the slightest touch will turn the screen on and sometimes causes the phone to reboot from it holding itself down.
Anyone have the same issue who fixed it and is willing to shed some light?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
Only way to fix it is to exchange it for another one. I'm on my 5th phone. Its annoying as hell.
I'm rooted. Will HTC still exchange it?
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app
I have the same issue. I'd prefer not to deal with exchanging it so I'm hoping that when Sweep2wake comes to the latest rohan kernel I can substitute that for the power button.
Hello guys
i've just registered here
i only want to avoid abusing power button to unlock the phone
i set only 1 min to auto-lock
the only way to unlock is by using power button, everytime i push im afraid that the button will go crazy
do you guys know any way to avoid this issue ?
i've search many app but they all use proximity sensors and i've tried it and nothing worked
i installed smart screen off v3.3 and thing went worse.... the screen stucked and trying to off-on-off-on-off-on everysecond
You can unlock by removing the s-pen, too.

I don't think using the word RAPE earns you much respect.
Oh and it's a tablet not a phone.
I use screen off fx for powering down, gives a virtual powerbutton on your screen with some nice off-effects, and its free! That halves use of powerbutton.

essentialy it's the same as using button too often that will make the slot(pen?) broke like my NDS stylus, i rarely use pen too

what i need is for turning on the screen, for locking/screen off i use autolock so it halves the use of powerbutton

I use the app "rebooter" found in the app store to have a widget on screen that turns off, reboots or goes to recovery without using the powe button.... You do need to rooted to use this however...
For the last year or so my lock button has gotten harder to press and doesn't have that "click" feel to it. Does anybody know why this is or how to fix it?
EDIT: my power button stopped working all together. If anybody knows how to fix this or turn my phone on without adb(to switch batteries), it would be greatly appreciated.

take off you back cover and see if the plastic button got somehow trim
try also to press the power button with a toothpick or with your finger
to check if you have the same hard pressing
I have 2 back covers and both of them seem fine. How can you tell if they got trim? I used my finger and a sharp object, they both turn it on but it feels the same

hmm, i don't know what else to suggest
did the device ever fell from your hands and hit in that spot?
if yes maybe it can cause that issue
well i tried to clean out the dust with a can of air and it blew out this little film thing and now it doesnt work at all hahaha but i got the device set up to use the vol up button as a power button but it is only recognized when it is powered on. does anybody know how to boot the device without adb? im currently using adb to start but its a pain to have a computer around to start the phone. i switch batteries a lot so its really inconvenient. btw i noticed that the phone doesnt turn off if you remove the battery in bootloader if it has a usb cable plugged in but i cant select any of the options without a power button
Bump
