This doesn't seem to be working on my handset. Anyone else finding this? Did HTC disable it for some silly reason? I've checked settings and it's definitely toggles on.
Works for me. You have to hold the button for approx. 2-3 seconds tough.
That's what I was doing wrong. Thanks

Hey all,
since today my Wizard is acting strange. The on/off/standby-button (the one on top of the device) is acting on it's own.
Whenever I'm just surfin' the web, I have a pretty big chance the device will turn the screen off. Also I sometimes get the "Warning, Device will be off, and may lose some data ....."-warning, which means the button has been "pressed" for ~four seconds.
I suspect this is a hardware problem (not too strange after 2.5 years) which I can't easily fix.
I do wonder however, if it's possible to reassign the on/off/standby button to something else and assign the on/off/standby functionality to another button (camera for example).
Anybody any ideas?
Hey, did anyone found solution... is it possible to tweak settings somehow so that display turns on by pushing home button? Or do I really have to push power button every time?
I know of volume button tweak, but.. that one is no good (volume settings gets displayed)... Any other ideas, suggestions? (other than "pull the stylus")
Thanks!
Try AE Button Plus. You can customize a lot of buttons. I didn't tried what you asked, but it worth a try.
Anyway, take care using it.
I would say not. There appears to be no power to these lower buttons while in standby, so no software could work?

No, for the reasons given.
BUT... you could use MobileMagic to toggle the screen on/off when device is turned face down. That way when you turn it face down, screen goes off and buttons are locked. To turn it back on, turn devicedevice face down again.
You do need to go to Start-Settings-System-Power-Advanced and untick the option, "Turn off device if not used for", because if the device gets turned off (instead of just screen off) it won't respond.
I have it set to turn screen off on reverse portrait too,
so it turns off automatically when I put it in my pocket.
Im also afraid for that power button... used it a lot on my diamond so it got bricked, its so gentle... Im using it as much as little possible now on mine HD for that reason.
I have s2u2 unlock on stylus out, so I pull out the stylus, the HD comes on and unlocks. It's so simple.

Do you find this has any impact on battery life? If i'm right, this just turns off the screen but does not put the device to sleep?

That's not possible for the simple reason that the buttons below the screen are part and parcel of the touch screen, so if the screen is off, they won't work.

That is correct.
Power consumption, in this case, depends on what applications are left running. GPS, streaming video, etc would be a bad idea to leave running. But more workday apps use very little juice when the huge power drain of the screen is turned off.

Nope... I've tried that app. Its great for locking down the normal WM hardware buttons, but it doesn't have the HTC bespoke "Home button" on the list of configurable buttons.
Alright well i've got android 2.2 installed via NAND. 10 times a day at least, the Bluetooth Voice Dialer pops up, and somehow disables my camera (back) button. It even stops my device from going to sleep. after about 5 or 10 minutes it will eventually go to sleep, i then press the power button up top to wake it up, the lock pattern is displayed. i can hit the camera (back) button then and then enter the pattern to unlock it and the back button works again.
its really frustrating, i cant find anything on the internets about it and my logfiles aren't revealing anything. has anyone had a similar problem?
bump bump bump. getting really frustrated. i've gotta use other peoples phones half the time because mine bullshits around like this. _any_ ideas?

Which rom are you using?
So i've been dealing with this for the last week or so and I finally decided to stop searching and scouring the internet and ask for some help from my XDA brethren.
I don't exactly know how or why, but all the hard buttons on my HD2 do not work anymore. Volume up and down, pick up, home, menu, back, and hang up buttons... all not working. They all stopped working at the same time.
I don't really care except for the fact that I cannot wake my phone up after it locks/sleeps. I tried an app called Shake and Wake with no luck. Any sugguestions? or should I just look for a new phone? I really don't want to give up on my HD2... we've been through a lot! Thanks a ton you guys, I really appreciate it.
If I were you I would head on over to the nexus one threads and ask the question.
That phone only has one button, and some folk have had that not work, so they are used to the problem, and I'm sure they will have a solution for you. Worth a try anyway........
Button Savior - free from Market
Jadrobe, I really like button saviour but that still doesn't solve my problem, how do I wake the phone up without any buttons?!!
do your volume buttons work? if so, you could use ButtonRemapper (paid app) to remap one of your volume buttons to work as your power button and do the rest with button savior.
Nope, none of the buttons work!! I'm screwed!
Then yes, you are indeed screwed. Sorry for your misfortune.

Pretty much. If you have one working button then you could use an app called "button remapper"
Have you flashed back to stock/something different yet? Seems a touch coincidental that they all go at once. The bottom 5, or the two volume yea, cos they're on two separate input busses, but for both to fail together... not saying it couldn't happen, just saying it could be something else.
If there not working how do you turn on your phone?
When I slide the battery into the phone it automatically boots up as if I pushed in the power button.. it never used to do that before.
And also right after it powers up it sends me straight to slide to shut down which kind of makes me believe I may have the power button stuck on or something? I'm going to try to flash the stock rom and see what happens. I'll keep you all posted. Thanks!
Dude!! Proximity Screen Off (look in Abdroid Themes and Apps sub-forum) could fix you up in combination with button savior !
It has an option to use the prox sensor to put your phone to sleep and to wake it. The downside is it will drain your battery faster than normal because the prox sensor is in use when the screen's off. But it could keep your phone useable til you can get your buttons fixed (probly just your power button is malfunctioning it sounds like to me)

Thanks a ton Huggs. I'll definitely look into it, as the main reason I love this phone is for Android roms!
So far i've had good luck with this Winmo 6.5 app. I had to revert to the base/stock Tmo rom and it works okay.
Shake and Wake
http://www.xda-developers.com/windows-mobile/shakenwake-mod-for-hd2/
Hello,
I have a problem with my phone, sometimes I have FC (1 vibration followed by 3 others after a few seconds, the phone becomes laggy between these vibrations / I have no popup which tells me what the problem is) when pushing power button in order to wake or sleep the phone.
After some tests I've found that my problem only occurs when I simultaneously press power AND volume buttons (up or down, no matters, it's accidentally but occurs often due to the placement of these 2 buttons).
I'm running a rooted stock 2.3.4 on a I9020.
Does someone have the same problem?
Is there a way to solve it?
The log during a wake up with FC is attached.
Thanks for your help.
Nobody knows how to fix this?
Help please, it's very annoying!
Thanks.
Is the problem persistent?
Actually when I was on stock I really din't have any such problem but I faced something similar once I tried few other ROM's.
Is the problem still persistent??
Thanks,
Yes, I still have the problem, I try to press only the power button, but sometimes I press volume too, and sometimes I have this FC.
I haven't tried to do a reset , maybe one of my installed apps is doing this?
The log I've send in the first post isn't relevant to me, maybe someone knows how to read it??
