[Q] Power button loose - HTC U11+ Questions & Answers

Hello, I wonder if the power button is loose or if it is a defect, mine can move up,down,left and right.
Sry for English!

it is not a defect, it is fairly mushy.
compared to the volume buttons it feels weird. but I think all u11+es are like this

Ya sometime, if press the button not at the centre. The button will slightly went down one side and the button will wobble. But overall clicking no problem. Really hope not a defective unit.

My power button is fairly stiff. If I put any pressure on it to try and wiggle it it doesn't move. The only time it moves is if I press down on it to turn phone on or off.

My power button does not seem mushy when pressed, but it is wobbly, especially from side to side, up-down almost not at all.
And the volume button much much less wobbly than the power button.
But how is you USB Type -C port ?
When I plug my cable (one from the box) it doesn't seem loose like it will fall out, but it does move on the front-to-back direction of the phone.
So it's not completely stiff. Doesn't create any problems charging or connected to laptop, even if it moves like this.
What's you experience ?

My type C port seems very tight....no moving front and back problem... My button just loose issue it can moving aroind, but clicking is solid.

[Q] On / Off button

Just rec'd my Transformer, but the on/off button seems to be a little loose and I usually have to press it really hard to wake the device. Does anyone have this problem?
define "loose"?
Mine isn't rock solid and yes the button has a decent amount of resistance, or do you mean you have to keep pressing after the click?
It's loose compared to the volume rocker. I don't feel a click... Maybe I'll have to check it out when stores start putting them on display and decide whether or not I should get an exchange.
Thanks for your reply.

Volume button sticking

Just curious, anyone else experiencing this issue? Other members have their volume button fall off (which I could've easily solved) OR their power button issue (which appears to be software related) but for me... my volume button is sticking. The VOL-UP sticks. I just hope it doesn't die anytime soon, how's everyone elses so far? The only really annoying thing is when I want to turn up the volume, it goes all the way up and it keeps displaying the "media/ringer volume" which then I have to press the vol-up again in order to get it out of the way. It'll be a pain if it completely dies though!
No volume/power button issues here.
Maybe it's sticky behind the back cover, have you checked?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Yeah, I checked. I took off the housing and pressed the vol-up itself. I find this irritating. I used to love their build quality but just giving up with them now. Started with the nexus one power button (which I prevented by using the volumes and screen off holding the search buton) issue and it continues! ugh. Now for senny, my volume is slowly dying.

Power Button sticking

Hi, I was just wondering if anyone was having a problem with the power button sticking down after being pressed? This has been happening on mine lately, and while it works great 90% of the time, the button remains pressed the other ten until I pry it/losen in. It seems that it's the actual white plastic "button" under the cover doing this and I've done my best to clean it.
Is this common? Any tips?

Flush Buttons

Is everyone's volume rocker and power button almost flush? Idk if this is an issue.
They're meant to be.

theyre not hard to press and they are aesthetically pleasing. do you really want giant stickout buttons?
My power button sticks out a bit more than the volume rocker. I do however notice the volume up button sticks out a tiny bit more than the volume down. The volume down is completely flush with the device.
Mine is equal all around. Do you take off your back?
No i have never taken off the back on mine. It was just shipped to me like that.

[SOLVED] Is there an app to map a broken power button to another button that does NOT drain battery heavily?

I have an ooold phone, a rooted Xperia E (C1504) from 2013. This is important, because I am limited to using Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean.
Long story short, the power on button is broken. I pulled it out with pliers because it was malfunctioning to the point of making the phone unusable. I actually use a clip folded so that it touches both ends where the button was soldered and it actually works perfectly fine as a substitute "button". Thing is, it's super inconvenient. I don't wanna take off the lid then put the clip just so the screen turns on so I can change the song playing.
Anyways, is there an app that allows me to turn on/off the screen or map my power button that does NOT heavily drain my battery?
I have tried several suggestions but they either don't do what I want/do it poorly, or are not compatible with jelly bean.
Or better yet, does anyone know of any app that turns ON the screen when connecting 3.5mm earbuds? This is an already included function in many phones so I imagine there should be an app or xposed module that can do that withouth relying on a wakelock running 24/7 draining battery.
Basically I want something that does what "Volume Power" does, the problem with this god tier app is that it drained half my battery on 5 hours of stand-by. It's a shame because it's exactly what I want.
Anyone has any ideas? Thank you
PS. as a side note, if you want to answer, I figured I'd rather ask here than making a thread for something like this.
I have an xperia arc s with a broken screen. If I lift it up of the case in a manner that the flex cables are tense, it works ok with many ghost touches. As soon as I remove what was under it holding it high above the phone case so that it sits normally, the image fades away. Backlight still works, but the image goes away. Only until I pull it up and tense the flex cable is that the image returns. I know the screen is shot, but still, I'm curious, any ideas what happened with it? lol
EDIT. PS.2. Well the problem with the screen I mentioned is that the flex cable was more sensitive than I was accustomed and I damaged, that's about it.
EDIT.
I did find something, and while it may not be a solution for everyone, it was almost exactly what I wanted. First I rooted, then I used Xposed Installer and used Xposed Additions so to be able to map the physical camera button and add "Screen Off" and "Screen On" conditions to it.
The only problem with it is that with a long press instead of showing the power menu (power off, restart) it just opens the camera, as it's supposed to.
I guess you could solve that but it doesn't matter in my case, since the power button switch is soldered directly into my phone's motherboard rather than being a flex cable addition or something, so I just removed the button with pliers and use a sanded paper clip to make a connection between the 2 points where the button was soldered, that way I bring up the power menu and also turn on the phone.
Again, this worked for me because of the way the power button was put on my motherboard and I did this only because the button was completely shot and unusable, like a ruptured appendix. It was turning off and on my phone, also preventing it from turning on and all of this completely at random. If your power button is a flex cable accessory that connects to the main board or is not completely shot like mine, don't do this because it will help nothing, hey, in your case it's probably better because you just replace the power button + volume buttons flex cable for another and you're good to go. You can get it from ebay or buy a 2nd hand phone that is not working (which should be cheap) and use the spares for your own.
Hope this helped someone, someday, anytime.
