I've seen a thread in here with a couple users claiming that the wake/sleep button at the top had stopped working.
I've had my nexus for about 2 weeks now and I am starting to feel that the button is getting less sensitive and getting a lil sti ky. When I first got my nexus, it was really easy to press.
Even though it is passed the 14 days, is this something that htc will fix? ...if there are enough complaints about it?
I've been using this HD2 for atleast 2 Months.
And i love it.
I wonder, Are Hd2's hardware buttons and volume buttons fragile?
Will they wear out if you're using it daily?
I'm currently using soft buttons on CM7ite cause i don't know how long HD2's button will last.
I'm afraid one day all the buttons won't work.
:'(
I love IceCreamTosti and it's soft buttons but i can't play games such as Temple Run
Screen won't respond on the game. But on homescreen it does respond.
yea try not to be too heavy on the buttons, especially the power button.
They are not the best, but suppose lucky to get any with cost cutting on manufacturing has forced all touch.
had my Qtek S100 (Magician) out the other day & boy the buttons feel like new still & they got some serious use in its 4yr role.
Even the over engineered Kaiser d-pad was a sloppy effort compared the S100.
Latest Htc device I played with with decent buttons was the Desire, shame that button & scroll wheel was not implemented on the HD2 as the button strip used on the HD2 really is one of those step backward design concepts ...
Man, I remembered my Vivaz.I'm afraid all of it's physical button get wear out i used a lock key replacement( ya know assign other hotkey to lock your device) I used the damn volume up + volume down. Now the volume buttons are split into two.
I think i should have taken the Ace or the Galaxy S.Damn.
I don't want to sell my HD2. Because i love it's ability to have multiple OSes.
And this Hd2 was bought by my dad for me. So.
I really don't want to sell it.
What is the best ICS rom out there for HD2?
IceCreamTosti prevents my HD2 from playing games.

I don't think they are, and I don't really know why so many people are having problems with them. My 2-year-old HD2's buttons are still up and running just fine.
And there are no best ICS ROMs, you won't be able to play games on any current ICS ROM.
My opinion
Even not a very strong construction, I'd say it's more important the manner and frequency you press/push those buttons rather than being fragile.
I mean if you're a strong fingers person and not controlling very well this force it is more probable for you a premature failure of those buttons.
I have big hands but fortunately, i can control the pressure i'm giving on my hd2's buttons.
Just curious about hd2's buttons.
For those who are concerned about damaging their hardware buttons, you can install "zmooth lite" to mimic hardware buttons. Works like a charm, it's one of the first tools I install on any new version of Android I am testing.

I too have had my device close to 2yrs with no button problem but with amount of users who do have button issues & looking at them & button board internally they are not the strongest. Lots of use & certainly over heay pressing will soon lead to issues.
Quality of buttons has reduced drastically these days as they are expensive production component ...
I've had mine 2 years now, and with heavy use (especially on the power and back button) I've never had any issues.

Exactly, I don't understand the issues everyone is constantly talking about, to be honest. No, the buttons are not fragile and no, they don't wear out quickly. However, the panic spread by those who were for whatever reason unlucky to have problems creates a myth and everyone looks for a solution to the non-existent issue. I never had an HD2 in for buttons repair and believe me, I had seen a lot of phones of all brands with various things.
I agree ^ The buttons are not fragile at all, the coating on top does wear out over time but it is not a big thing...
I agree with enigma1nz too. I've had my phone for just over two years. I've now been able to stay on a ROM longer then a week (finally) but have done many many flashes of everything the HD2 has to offer. I have never had a problem with my phone at all. Just take care of your phone. Dont put a lot of pressure on it or bring it in the bathroom while you shower, clean it ever once in awhile, perhaps keep it in a gel skin and if you can buy a clear-coat screen protector to cover the whole phone and you will have a great looking and 100% functional phone for long to come. You can't even tell my phone is over two years old and for a cell phone thats pretty damn old. lol.
Yes ，you are righ.HD2's buttons is quitely fragile.

Have to agree. I bought my HD2 used and it's obvious the previous owner used the power button a lot. Enough that I had to remove the Windows Phone 7 ROM I had on mine because it relies on the power button a great deal and it's simply become too intermittent. Checked with a couple local cell repair shops in the area and replacing the keypad flex cable, which is the likely culprit and prone to failure, will be $75-100. Getting to that part is quite labor intensive.
I also have one question, this thread is perfect for me I can say. I had 2 of them and both had hardware issues few months after varranty has been expired, so that was close to 500€ i throwed away.
I am in love with HTC phones, I said to myself that I will never have another HD2, and I have changed a lot op phones, last one was Desire HD and right now I am using ARC which is horrible for me, not so many good ROM-s and generally only HDMI output is good on this phone. I have a chance to replace ARC for HD2, guy never had anything except winmo on it and he has never did any experiment widt nand or something. I wonder now since my last 2 phones had buttons problems power and vol down were broken, is there any touch based recovery available because I love that feature.
Back then when I had this phone there wasnt an option for Meego or windows 7 so I would like to take this phone again but I have a very big fear of it.
And I also had problems with CPU overheating and stops responding, especcialy youtube clips etc, is this fixed recently....
Plase can you help me with some advices.

Well
they said for this app
Top 1 Software key App on Android Market
Top 10 Must have app for root devices
Top 1 Must have app on HTC HD2
Top 1 Software key app with best customization features
Works from 1.5 to 4.0(ICS)
Guess that is for the reason
THX
Try either
1. Zmooth or
2. Button savior
Been using zmooth for so long now.... Can't even think of android without it....
In wp7... You can change button configuration inside the settings.. I use the middle hard key also as back button.... If only wp7 too gets something like Zmooth or some sfw keys, then it will be double the fun

I've bought mine with half broken back hw button. U can't feel the "click" when u press it, but hey it still does the job n works even better without the click IMO
Does anyone else's Nexus 4 have a power button that feels "mushy" and doesn't have a pronounced "click" like the volume buttons? It might be the S-Line case that's amplifying the issue but even with the case off, the power button doesn't feel the same as the volume ones. The click is there but it's just not very strong and it feels like something that could be pushed in and stuck there someday...
my N4 feels okay, i usually have the Google bumper on it anyways so most of the time i feeling on the bumper (and its better than the actual power button itself!)
But if ur worry about it being suck you can always RMA it....or theres always the option of volume wake
Cheers!
My power button feels slightly soft... But I don't feel it much since I have a case on.

Yeah, one of my (very few) complaints about this phone is how the power button feels to press. Mine does click when pressed, but sometimes if I press on an edge instead of in the center, it'll click but the screen won't turn on. Hoping for a decent volume wake or PGM-style app to come out for the N4
EDIT: I had the official bumper on mine for a while, and it makes all the buttons feel great, so you might consider picking one up if the button feel really bugs you. I decided that the phone felt too sexy without a bumper

Sexy until an accidental drop occurs
It isn't very shallow coming from a Galaxy Nexus. I thought my power button was shorted out or something when I first got the Nexus 4, because I felt like I wasn't using more force than necessary to turn it on. I got used to it after a while, but I occasionally have to tap the power button multiple times...
Hell folks,
so i just sold my first note 4 (910c Black) because it had a wobbly power button and got this brand new note 4 910C in white.....the power button on this is perfect however the home button is not. It kind of moves a little when i touch the home button lightly while the phone is idle. Not alot just little.....does the home button on your note 4s have something similar......these phones and their minor flaws are giving me anxiety...i dont know if i am OCD or is there something wrong with samsung's quality control?

Both power button and home button on my N910C are solid - no wobble at all. Sorry to hear you've been seeing this on two devices

Being a minor defect its not covered under warranty here, they dont even consider it a "defect" .... I think i should keep the phone as i am sure even if i bear some loss and get a new phone it will still have some minor defect like this one. what do you say?

If it's only a slight wobble (and it's not like it's going to fall off or anything) and there are no other problems with the device, then I'd be inclined just to keep it. Chances are, if you change it, you might end up with a bigger problem :/
WOW...I just bought a 3rd note 4 (N910C BLACK) with the same .....bit loose home button.....i don't know what to do from here...ive already lost almost $300 in buying brand new phones and selling them as used because these minor things aren't covered under warranty in my country.........Seriously what is going on samsung quality control? is it just me being OCD or do all note 4's have a home button which moves a little when touched slightly
I am loving my OPT and the premium feel but I was wondering if anyone else has a somewhat loose power button that rattles a bit. I never notice it since I have it in a case. But coming from a Nexus 5 and Nexus 6. The power button on those is super solid.
Just curious if i got a bum one or there all like that.
Nope you are not the only one.
There are many check on oneplus forums.
Mine power button is a little bit loose almost ignoreable but the volume rocker is a bit loose.
I can move them with finger.
Op quality checks aren't upto the mark it seems.
Both power button and volume button can move around quite a bit for me, appears loose, but as long as they dont fall...
Mine are solid
Mine are lose too. Checked in OP service center in Mumbai and found there are no spare parts at all. it sucks.
I am in discussion with their customer support for the solution. I want this lose buttons problem resolved anyhow, it wont sustain for long.
My OPT volume button is loose also, it moves up and down by a half millimetre.
Kinda tarnishes the premium feel of it.
