It's quite a common issue people have. A lot need to send the phone back to HTC to get it fixed.

isn't there any other option to fix this? becouse it looks like a software problem

What ROM are you using then?

i have official 2.1 update

Then it probably isn't software. Contact HTC and explain the problem - you should still have your warranty in tact as you haven't rooted.

Alternative way to turn on / wake screen (capacitive buttons / accelerometer)

Hi guys,
Got my Desire HD last Friday and I'm really pleased with it, stunning device. The problem is, I'm using a case which protects the phone nicely and looks decent too but the power button is very tough to press in (let alone without a case TBH). I have Cyangens "Menu Unlock" enabled but I'm wondering if there is a tweak or APK to enable the capacitive buttons when the screen is off so I can turn it on easily (using Button Remapper). Maybe even a shake to enable app to wake the phone. Oh, cover below:
When I had the Galaxy S, I could just wake the screen with the main physical Home button.
When I had the Milestone, there was an APK to allow me to wake the screen with the buttons.
Any help or direction would really be appreciated. Would love to be able to unlock it that easily.
Cheers #auggie2k

Just a quick bump

Buttons will be disabled when phone is asleep. The closest is to try "Tap Tap App" from the Market. Its free. Try and see how it could give you possibilities. Basically, it will allow you to set lock/wake permissions using the proximity sensor.
I use it as an alternative to pressing the power button all the time during shorter phone sleep/wake intervals

Much appreciated Jacob, cheers for the quick reply.

You can try WidgetLocker too, allow you to power up the phone using volume button.

now THAT is a cool idea
but, it would drain the battery...

Its possible without much battery drain I remember using Pocketshield with the HD2 where it unlocks when you flip the phone facedown and up or shake from side to side. Seems they're still hung up on Windows till now... I hope they come around to turn to Android soon

You're welcome mate! Test the proximity settings, I used to use "Easy Detection" but found it too sensitive, it unlocks with short finger waves which was cool but also gets screwed up with strong winds when outdoors... lol
Since, I've changed the setting to "safe mode (default)" and it responds well to 2 mild taps. Hope it works for you too!

only works if u're on stock kernel

try no lock, unlocks it with the volume buttons.

isnt this the same as widget locker, i.e. it works only on stock kernel

Just installed "Tap Tap App", works perfect for me as an alternative unlock/lock. Thanks a lot!

[Q] Have U met a crazy voice buttons?Help me!!!!

I can't imagine that my voice buttons has apeard some error,but they are very crazy and terrifying...
When I touch the "voice plug" the screen goes to bright and then it repair,and in the same time if i pressed it just like I pressed the "back" . The thing made me crazy is that pressed "voice plug" button could unlock the screen lock......
And the "voice reduce" button also brings me the trouble,when I pressed it just like I pressed the "home" button....
Without the "voice reduce" button , I can't enter the 3 color screen so I can't change the system of my phone......
Whether it's a reason which make you crazy??? Please help me!!!!

Nice point. @rafael1369 As RocketSauce mentioned it; its the option of Voice Assistant. ''Dark screen'' is the option's topic and Explanation is: Keep the screen turned off at all times for privacy. Double press the power key to enable or disable this function. Hopefuly you can find it and switch it off and get back the shiny screen is on Btw; It doesnt work on mine lol(custom rom).

It doesnt need to go recovery bro. Just touch the screen and it will guide you to the Topic which I and Rocketsauce mentioned in post #4 and earlier. Swipe your finger on the display and find the settings, to enter » doble tap. Go on with swiping and follow the directions in post #4. All you need is touching and listening and double tapping into the correct topic.
Btw try double pressing to power button, long or short, try different combinations. Good luck.
Edit: Allright guys @alanloax @rafael1369 Here is a video of the explanation recorded by myself, I cant be more clear than that. You all need to do it in the darkness, first disable dark screen or voice assistant its your choice.
