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.
Sorry if this has been posted before but I'm having issues with the "back button" pressing itself. I would be in an app and my back button will suddenly press itself. Is anyone else having this issue or I just have a defective phone?
If this is common is there a way I could fix it?
I have the stock gingerbread ROM with the latest update on my MT4G. When I am using my phone, the power option prompt will randomly appear. I have to cancel it to continue. Sometimes it will reappear repeatedly.
Anyone experienced this issue?
Your power button is giving in.
This may sound silly, but it happens to me all the time when the phone is in landscape mode, I hit it and don't even know it. I say this because you mention that it only happens when using your phone. If it were a power button going bad, it would happen when the phone its not being touched, but unlocked.
Had to send to HTC for repair. It fixed now
I dropped my NS the other day and now the power button has became very finicky. I've read about others with power button problems but from the issues I'm experiencing I think the problem might be software related and not caused by dropping it.
When the screen is off, hitting the power button always turns the screen back on but sometimes brings up the power menu
When the screen is on, press and long pressing the power button doesn't do anything
When the phone is off, pressing the power button turns the phone on, and I can get to the bootloader using the power + volume up
The power button issues I'm having only seem to happen when the screen is on, otherwise the power button works like it should. I've clean installed my rom twice but the porblem stays the same.

Hardware.
It will probably fail on you completely eventually.
I must be searching for the wrong things. What is the button combination to force a shutdown on the Note Pro? Thanks.

Press and hold:
Power only - power off
Power + vol up - recovery
Power + vol dn - download mode.
Is this what you are needing?

Those were what I was expecting. But the power+vol combinations aren't doing anything on mine. It is a Verizon LTE version, but I wouldn't think that would make a difference?
They should work . . . best way IMO is to just do a shutdown from within the OS, then while the tablet's off press and hold a vol/home combo prior to pressing and holding the power button. Once the model number splash screen appears let go of power first while holding the other two . . hold the other two for a second or so and then let go.

Ok, this is really silly, but I don't find any way from the Note Pro's OS to do a power down, other than the popup from holding the power button?
(Sorry, bit of background, this all started from a problem that my power button was only working to wake the tablet, but after that, had no effect whatsoever. After mucho playing, for no apparent reason, finally the popup menu came up, I did a restart, and it's been 100% since than. But it has left me worried how to do a shutdown if the power button isn't working. No pulling the batteries on these things.)

Correct, when booted into android OS a momentary holding of the power button will bring up the power menu one option within which will be to power off. This is typical of many android devices.
Are you sure your power button is operating normally?
I have read elsewhere of a user having issue with his power button not feeling right (less travel than anticipated without much tactile feedback when depressed indicating possible defect).
I would like to add for clarity that there is no force shutdown via hardware button, only force reboot. Holding power down for several seconds will force a full reboot. Holding it down briefly to get the power menu gets the power off option in the menu to fully turn the tablet off. If your tablet reboots after this option is chosen then something is wrong.

No, because after returning to working fine yesterday it is acting up again. Not a hardware problem - if the tablet is off, the button will always work to wake it up. But once again, it is now not being responded to when the tablet is awake - either a quick push, a long push, or in combination with the other buttons.
It seems like this is a software problem, either driver or app, since mechanically the button works every time to wake up the tablet. And, of course, I can't do a shutdown or reboot to see if that clears it, because its not responding to the power button. Can't remap the power button because no root available on the Verizon LTE model. Frustrating.

I would take it back to Verizon. IMO software shouldn't interfere with a long depress forcing a reboot. That function is fundamental. This still sounds to me like a possible hardware issue where a long press is not identified as such (intermittent connection in the button).

But a short press also doesn't work when the tablet is on, but does work when the tablet is off. But then it clears up, and always works properly for awhile.
Unfortunately, unlike phones, taking out the battery isn't an alternative option...
I dunno what to tell you. Without root I don't see how any software you have installed on the tablet would have changed anything, and without the ability to get into download mode I'm not sure there's a way for you to do a factory reset that will fix the issue (if it is indeed a software one). I hope someone else chimes in that can help. My suggestion to take it in to Verizon still stands though.
Good luck!
