Stuck menu button.

Just noticed that my menu button is stuck semi-pressed in. The bottom end of the button is depressed below the front face. It still functions correctly, but does not click like the other buttons do.
Has anyone else has this problem? I am tempted to try and gently pry it up, but am curious if anyone has come across this on this phone or others.
Any help is greatly appreciated

Never had mine do that but then again I've only had it for 5 days. I would just exchange it myself because you never know if down the road the problem could return or get worse.
I seem to be having this issue as well.
I'm gonna get a eyeglass screwdriver and try prying it up tomorrow night, most likely. Will let everyone know when I am done. I'm hoping it won't be like the G1 trackball from ages past haha

Sorry for double post.
Looks like it unstuck itself... noticed that it was working properly while playing pocket legends. So I will not be taking a mini screwdriver to the button haha. Best of luck to anyone else who has the problem!

how did that happen, i am unlucky coz both home&menu buttons are stuck.
do you think it might be related with water/sweat?

[Q] Creaky keyboard

I have read a few threads on a few build quality issues but not mention this, if I have missed them then mod please feel free to delete.
Anyone else noticed this, its not a big deal but I noticed that when typing on the physical keyboard I could feel even hear a slight creak as I typed away. I worked out that this was being caused by the battery twisting and creeping its way slowly out of position. I have sorted this with a small ball of bluetack, no more creak.

That's what I am enjoying now but before it was really getting annoying.

So my back button broke

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.

one think I missed switching from nexus one to mt4g is touch buttons.

something weird

go to the home screen and have your finger sliding to the next home screen but do it at an angle and do it toward the bottom of the screen and move your finger down to the four buttons and you can flip homescreens with your finger on the buttons . still detects your finger moving when its not even touching the the screen really ,

Lol that's cool but not weird

its designed like that. Technically the touch sensitive part of the screen goes all the way down past the buttons.

Thumbpad

Hello
I noticed that on my mytouch 4g that the thumb pad is not out evenly meaning that the bottom has no depth too the phone while the top has about 2-3 mm.
Is this normal?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Mine is like that as well and could have swore that it rose up the same amount all the way around...didn't really notice til I went to the beach and got some grains of sand in the crevices around the buttons and the trackpad was giving me issues. It works fine now so not too worried about it...

Yes its normal, the bottom of the phone curves up, therefore leaving less of the trackpad showing on the bottom... (put ur eye level with the side of ur phone and you can see what I'm talking about)
