hmm, i tried to shake my phone and 'whip' it to try to get the kickstand to fall out.
nothing.
and i fiddle with it...just like i do with the battery covers on remotes etc
i open my kickstand by pushing on one end so the other end pops out.

I think you have to use the version floating around the forums. IT has been a few weeks but there is a thread discussing it and the link to the file works fine.
It just seems lose maybe I should take it to sprint and make them tighten it

This isn't a small issue I Googled to see if I could replace it and low and behold a bunch of others with the same issue...I have never dropped the phone I baby it but it happened...I think u all should take a look...anyone else?

Pics or it didn't happen!
You probably didn't crack the camera lens, you probably cracked the plastic lens that's over the camera, right?
You need this piece:
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-HTC-EVO-Spr...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a5d074580
You can see in the teardown pics that the camera lens is actually under this piece. Better hurry though, that's the last one (I bought the other one for a project I'm doing).
Im suprised that this is such a big issue.. ive never had a problem, neither have any of my friends. Well, ill take that as we are lucky...

Wow! Very nice! The springs seem to not be available right now. I also have a little fear of disassembling my phone.. The last time I did it, it was on a Sony Ericsson k800i, I ended up break the power button off without even knowing it until there was no feel in the power button when I tried to turn it in.

Just in case anyone was wondering how the fasinate would fare......
Fascinate took it like a man.
ouch
-that is all
If the Fascinate really was flimsy and plasticy as a phone, I don't think it would have come out looking like that. Does it still turn on?

Maybe you can cash it in for a replacement with your warranty... i would toss it in the microwave for 6min or so (popcorn setting) before you take it back

Sadly i had to say goodbye to a very dear friend today...... my Shift decided to take a dump on me, the friggin power button decided it was going to stop working and now she is powered off with no way to turn her back on...... Since its time for an upgrade im going to be going in the route of the Nexus as i can get it online for 29.99..... Im gonna miss the old shift but im not even gonna risk it getting one because i know itll be 2.3.3 and unrootable. Met some good guys in here and im sure ill still be seeing you guys around. If anyone wants, i have a shift that is rooted and currently running Cyclonic rom but will not power on because of the broken power button i will let it go very cheap, i also have a brand new otterbox still in the box ill sell for 20ishbucks shipped. im gonna miss the ol shifty

Short the solder pads with a tiny tiny wad of aluminum foil, Done this before on other devices. if the pads lifted, use sewing needles and just pierce the traces and touch the 2 needles

Exactly what I did when my HTC Vogue had a broken power button.
Yea I was able to turn it on using a piece of solder to short the contacts out, then used button remapper to make my volume down key my power key. As long as I restore the remapper app with data everytime I flash ill be set unless I need to do a battery pull, then its back to shortin the contact!

Sounds like it might be hardware damage. Did you check and see if the battery has a proper connection. Does it turn on and off by itself or only when you move it?
only when i trow it let say in a table a bit hard but if i just lay it it wont
If you throw your sensitive electronic device at a table, it shuts off? Stop throwing your phone.
Sounds like a loose battery or bad power connection somewhere.

Mine does the same thing when I drop my phone on my bed... It is caused by a little play between the battery and the battery cover. Apiece of paper folded and cut to the size of the battery and placed between the battery and cover has done the trick for me, and I believe it is just because of wear on the battery cover from pulling it too often...

If Duct Tape can't fix something (anything!) it's either damaged far beyond any hope for repair, or it wasn't really broke in the first place.
There's not a lot of middle ground.
Well phrased, and I'm glad that when my phone fell off the bathroom counter and bounced screen first off the hardwood floor, there wasn't a sign it had ever moved, aside from some dirt on the screen
