This is a bit of a rant topic.
My phone case is one of those hard, yet bendy plastic cases.
Simple. $10 bucks. i think i grabbed it from a kiosk in a mall.
The case is a tight seal around my phone - as expected
however, through my 12 months of playing with the phone, taking the case on and off, hard reboots etc, my power button is officially unusable.
The button itself is stuck in the phone. it's as if it pressed it down and it never came back up.
This makes life with my One X very difficult.
turning the screen on and off is difficult. it's now extremely sensitive. just brushing the tip of my finger over the top of the phone turns the screen on and off multiple times.
I can't press and hold the button to bring up the reboot menu - although it does work sometimes (seems like the lower the phone's temp, the more likely it works)
Just makes life difficult. Sometimes a ROM needs a nice reboot, and it's near impossible for me to do so!
I've resorted to opening up a command line and giving it the ol' reboot command, but goddamn!
Im now officially waiting on the Nexus 5
Anyone else with similar experiences?
It's almost definitely caused by the cheap case you put on the phone. For rebooting, you could use an app called Quick Boot, it's a simple app which has options for rebooting (system/bootloader/recovery/power off).

Hi ppl. I have a problem(and I think,not just me) with Right arrow/way underneath the display. It is absolutely unresponsive very often,suddenly it works normally. It seems,that the touch sensitive surface has an unstable pressure threshold in this area. It is very annoying,so knows someone any solution? Thanks in advance.

I have exactly the same problem, really annoying it is. Cannot play games with a right arrow that works half the time
Try to blow in centre button.
try this, use left thumb to hit the right button. Its really annoying, it seems the left right cursor pad it too sensitive and must be pressed at the correct angle
I'm also having this problem.
Do you guys know if it's a hw problem or it can be fixed with one of the custom roms?
Thanks

No, I only found this thread. I didn't find anything in the wiki either.
Thanks for those links.
Oops! .. I thought it only happens with me, there might be some problem in my phone, as it felt down from 6 feets just after 2 days from the day I bought it.
well it's really annoying..
hope to get a solution. (I think the hardware button is not manufactured properly).. (I might be wrong )
I have the exact problem!!!
Does anyone knows where to buy a replacement keypad??? I have been searching for it for days now with no luck. and all I could find is this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120488502946&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123 and this one https://www.gsm4world.us/htc-touch-...rane-pcb-repair-d-03019_405.html#remote-tab-1 and both have the same price almost $50.00 for a couple of buttons. have anyone found it cheaper???
Have you tried the HTC debug tools to see if the navipad is registering touches in that area?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2511016
You'd be looking for the 'NavDbgTool.exe' in that zip. Just extract the whole zip to somewhere on your phone and run NavDbgTool. You should see some lines and dots moving around on your screen. If you are able to see the lines moving when you move your thumb, it would mean that your navipad is working just fine.
Try running this program when you're unable to press the left or right buttons and see if you get different results.
My guess is that the buttons are just fine, but where you are putting your finger isn't exactly where HTC thought it should go in order to actually 'press' the left or right buttons. If the sensors and underlying buttons weren't actually working, you wouldn't be able to press end call or back either.
Hope this helps!
If you are new to the phone try those suggestions above. If this has just recently started happening when the phone used to work fine, its broken. The capacitive sensor HTC put in is junk, I had mine break 2 times. Got it fixed through warranty. It is not a software issue, you can hard reset, change ROMs, etc. It won't fix it, it is physically broken, and you can confirm it with the NavDbgTool.
search for sometime now, could not find any leads that may shed light to this
anyone out there? I'll try searching for it in the registry, if only i know where to start
First off, I don't know why you'd even ask for this. It's a tiny burst of vibration that happens only once when you power up the device, and that's it. There's no harm in it and I can't see a genuine reason for wanting it gone since it happens so rarley.
Secondly, you can't get rid of it. It's part of the self-diagnostic that runs when you switch on the device. If you did find a way to stop it (and I'm 99.9999999999999999999% sure you won't) then the phone would probably think there was a problem and not boot.
You're gonna have to live with it mate.

I was also looking for a solution to this problem.
You asked, why one should wish to deactivate this little vibration on startup...well, quite simple:
My HD2 performs its system backups every night, while it is in its cradle beside my bed. I am using SPB Backup which does a warm reset after finishing its operation. It's really not very funny to wake up every night, only because there is this "little" vibration during the boot up process.
If you are a user of a genuine HTC ROM, there is even an additional little melody playing after vibrating, which is still more uncomfortable! Only for this reason, I just reflashed my HTC ROM back to a Vodafone ROM (which only has the vibration).
I think, it would really be a good idea, If someone found a tweak to suppress the boot up vibration!

that cat has really small lips and it's face looks almost human like..
My power button is completely flat, if not even recessed slightly. It still works without a problem, but it seems like its worse than it used to be.
Debating whether I want to return it, as I'm rooted and have the phone set up exactly as I like it.
Anyone else hate the power button?
If you're rooted you can always back the phone up, return it to stock ROM, return it, root the phone, you get back (either yours or the new one) and restore your backup.

I know. I want to go look at the phones that the store has and see if it's the same.

I found it difficult also, but I bought an otterbox case and it covers the buttons with a raised piece of rubber that actually works out a lot better for me.
Its a known problem that every HTC Inspire/Desire HD experiences. I got a case (Casemate Pop) and the rubber button on the case makes it easier to press.
My Case Mate has a rubber cover that helps me too. You may also consider the app "nolock" It bypasses your lock screen unfortunately but it will allow you to use your volume buttons to unlock.

I have one of those cases, makes it a little too bulky. I'm using a barely there case that doesn't cover the power button.

I might try that. Paired with lock screen widget, I'd never have to use the power button.
I hate it as well. I'm currently using Widgetlocker, which allows me to wake with the volume rockers as well. I try to alternate what I use to wake the device (3 options). HTC, for some reason, chooses to make all their power buttons like this. It's the reason why I returned my Tilt II back in the day.
One of the case mate or otter box cases can fix the issue. Its hard to say by just the picture but your button might be slightly more depressed. Check store units for comparison.
Be careful! This tutorial is at your own risk!
First watch this two videos, how to disassemble your SGS and take your time
It should look like this

Remove the black Home Button
Then very carefully remove the white label. As you can see, the problem is the corrosion inside the home button
Make this clean, with cotton swab and acetone, then assemble all and enjoy your home button again
Oh thanx! My phone need it! I will try it

You're welcome! Be careful and take your time
Sadly my amoled screen was stuck to the frame of the phone and not the screen, as a result pulling it away very gently resulted in a cracked amoled.
Sadness.
Everything else was good in this guide, my i9000 seemed to have lots of bits glued in that yours did not though
On the plus side my home button now totally works!.
thanks great guide
will look at my gfs when i get time
cheers
great guide.:good:
thanks! very useful!
ok job done happy gf maybe but
i scratched the underside of the menu and back touch buttions and
they look a bit funky now heh
Thanks maaaaaaaaan!! Now my Galaxy S's home button works again!!
Perfect instructions, thanks.
Warning to everyone... I followed the 2nd video trying to do what he does, but the glue in my phone was way stronger. I ended up breaking the screen without even noticing, while also breaking the keypad cables
Do this with extreme caution or not at all.
what video are you talking about.

Agreed..
Warning*** this guide also broke my amoled screen.
Should be removed...
Now have to install a new one.
Perfect, thanks!
tried this but it got to the point where way too much force was needed and I had to stop because I didn't want my screen to break.
Ended up just enabling the navigation bar and using it's home button.
Hello
Is there any easier way of doing this?
I see the Amoled screen modules being sold don't have the home button.
My phone's home button doesn't work well recently, you have to push it hard, and probably is due to water.
What would you suggest? Taking the scree napart seems quite risky instead of changing the whole modules
Thank you.

See these replacements

No buttons there
Couldn't it be fixed by getting a keypad flex cable assembly to fix it?
Thank you.
You people ain't really smart, right? When something is glued together, you don't pull on it. You remove the glue with a hairdryer/Heatgun.
Is it working on i9001
Is ti working on i9001 galaxy s plus??
Sadly i found this good guide too late and broke my AMOLED before even gettin to the front panel.
Thanks for the good guide =D
I have had the nexus 5 for about 6 months now, and i'm starting to notice a part of the glass coming off. The area around the volume buttons to the center of the screen makes a sticking sound when pushed down on, and i can feel it pushing in a little bit. It's most noticeable on the edge directly next to the volume buttons. There are no visible cracks as far as i can tell. Phone works fine besides this. Should I be worried and replace the screen or just let it be? I don't notice it if i don't push down too hard.
Never had this happen to me on a phone before. Thanks!
That definitely shouldn't be happening.

It's not very visible and pictures don't show the problem.
It feels like the glue in that area is just dried up in that area and isn't holding down the screen correctly. but its only a small area so right now its not too big of a deal.

Ask for google support, they will replace it. Mine was losing the back cover letters and google replaced it
Hi all. Wasn't sure if I should reply to this old thread or start my own...
I have a Nexus 5 that's over 2 years old. So no warranty. It looks like my screen is starting to come off in the bottom right corner. I think it's just the glass. Take a look at the attached pic/video and let me know what you think I could/should do. You can see I can move it by pressing on it.

It works fine otherwise. Touch/display etc seems all fine. I don't care about this problem if it stays as-is, but I'm worried it will get worse and come off further.
I'm thinking a bit of super glue would do? .
Thinking the same…
