Does anyone else have an issue with their power button? It seems as if I have to push it down really hard now to turn phone off or restart phone. I have the white one if that means anything. No other problems until now.

Had that same exact problem when I had my white. I switched to black and the power button iz MUCH better. It sticks out more too so it makes the power button a breeze to push with no effort. Sometimes I push it just for the hell of it.

My back button isn't popping back up like the other buttons. Its stuck in the down position and to use it I have to press pretty hard. Is there hope to fixing this or replacing a broken part? Or can I just move the back button to lets say the genius button?

Why don't you just try button savior or soft key? Better than nothing...

I mean like a hardware fix. I bought the phone from Craig's list so no warantee :/

if you have no warranty, then open the phone up and re-alignh the button or see wats wrong
Thanks I just needed a push in the right direction. I was getting ready to open it up when low and behold it pooped back up and hasn't malfunctioned since. Which is great because the back button does so much on the mt4g

Don't tell them it came from Craigslist. I just had to do a swap on my son's Mytouch Slide and there were no questions asked about where I bought it.

Hey guys for some strange reason my Evo's power button is not working at all. Its def not jammed or broken and it just started happening last month. Idk if its CM's fault and its a bug or what. Im lost any sugggestions would be super awesome. Thanks

I've never heard of CM7 causing something like that- though I assume you mean you have your evo on but can't press it to bring up the power menu. If you mean the power button won't turn the screen on, check to see if the buttons are at least lighting up. If they do, that's a backlight issue caused by the CM7 kernel, not the power button. Try to turn the screen on and off a few times and the backlight should eventually come on. Then, in cyanogen settings, turn the screen-on animation off- that solved the backlight issue for me.
Otherwise, try pulling the battery to turn it off, then plug it back in, if it doesn't turn on at all when you hit the power button from there, that's a hardware issue and it's time to take it in to get fixed.

Sounds like a bad power button. Lucky for you cm7 just added the ability to wake the phone from the volume keys.

There is a widget as well that you can apply that will put the phone to sleep for you.
Recently I just took my phone out of my pocket and noticed that my power button was pressed in and its very hard to press down. Should l send it in for a new one with warranty? Please help!!!!!!

I have the same problem. I called in about it last week and all their mytouch4g's are out of stock so they offered to send me a G2x but in my opinion the mt4g is way better. I just remapped the power button to the camera button and its working good for me.

This is a problem with some HTC phones. If the phone is still under warrantly, you should get it replaced.
Is there a way to fix this if you are not under warranty?
Here is the fix http://himax.ca/?p=96
So the other day my phone turned off and my phone started doing the 3 vibrates and blinking orange LED thing. It finally turned on earlier today, so I was wondering if there was a way to fix the volume up button so I don't have to worry about my phone getting turned off.
Is there a way to fix it? Or remap the button to a different button? Or even just disable the button in general? Or even just plain break the button. Anything as long as the phone doesn't think its being pressed lol
Edit: does anyone know if the app buttonmapper would fix this? I don't wanna try this and have it not work and get stuck with the flashing LED again
Thanks!
Button savior might but please don't make 2 threads back to back...

That would just replace the volume button. I need it gone completely. And alright, I'll remember that from now on. Sorry

No problem, you could try using a jewlers screwdriver set and prying up the volume up key. And its a rookie mistake just don't do it again

Haha I did that, and it wasn't working before, but I just tried to boot into recovery via the option on CM7 menu, and it booted into CWM just fine. Then I hit reboot system now, and it did that just fine. Does it boot differently when I have it boot directly into recovery? And does it boot differently when I hit reboot system now through CWM?
I know it changes the bootmode (or at least it does on the Kindle Fire), but I didn't think it made that much of a difference. Oh well. I guess I won't question it too much as long as it works.
So, when I turn the phone on using Volume Up+Power, that boots me into hboot, right?

So then Volume Up + Power boots me into recovery? Or does it not do anything?
Vol up and power boots you into some other mode, I don't remember what it's called.
I believe it's the original recovery, cause when i bricked my phone several months ago (i got impatient and decided to just flash the original stock img file (i thought it was as easy as idevices) without having the engineering hboot. Anyways I think it took me to the stock recovery mode

Oh. Alright. Do you know if there's anyway to change that? So that I can make the volume up button and power do nothing, and make it like camera button and power?

Hello everyone,
Was hoping someone could explain what the button combination "Volume Up + Power" actually does..??
I tried it just a few moments ago and the only thing that happened was it vibrated, nothing showed up on the screen (as if it were off), and the LED (orange) kept blinking. No buttons worked, so had to pull the battery.
Before doing that, I decided to attach the phone to my computer via USB. It asks for drivers. Which drivers though? I already have all the drivers installed for my phone...
Anyway, the main question here is..what is this mysterious mode the phone goes into when powering on the device using volume UP??
Just curious =P
What ROM are you running?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I'm running [KANG]CM 7.2.RC0.
The latest one.
I didn't think the ROMs had anything to do with the power and volume combinations when starting up the phone.
...did I forget to mention that in my original post? Basically, my phone is not on when I'm trying the button combos..

youve gotta hold volume down + power button to access fastboot. volume up + power button only works for the stock recovery
Ooooh. I thought this was in ROM. You meant while powered off. Ok. Sorry.

Well I know about volume down + power
I was just curious about what the volume up combo did. Thanks for clearing that up for me.
@estallings15,
it was actually my fault for not being clear enough in my original post. My bad.
I was experimenting to see what each button combo with the power button did while the phone was off..

Ha. No worries. I usually edit a post several times when asking a question because I leave out info. Easy to forget things!
