Hi, I have a curious problem with my power button.
It seems to work ONLY to turn the phone on, once my X10 has booted my power button will do nothing, even held down for a second.
I've tried many ROMs including stock SE and EWJet and am currently on CM7, same problem.
Also, it's managed to function normally again for a very short time (30 seconds or so) after exiting navigation (to a non-dev this seems like evil magic) which I tried repeating but was successful only once or twice.
Using a softkey to power off my screen atm and waking via home button.
I DID throw it recently in a fit of rage and I lost my camera button but this problem doesn't seem to be physical.
Can someone tell me wtf is up with that button?

Hmmmmm... If it gets triggered at power on, it means that it's not a hw problem. Try repairing 2.3.3

To me, it does seem to be physical since it happens with all the ROMs you've tried.
Maybe something loosened when you threw it?
Unscrew the phone and screw it up back again. Believe me im not trolling, might just work for you

Hey XDA ..
My Legend have been doing a pretty weird thing lately.. Sometimes when I press the Menu button, it thinks I'm holding the Volume Down button. And of course it switches to silent mode and starts vibrating like hell ..
It stops when I press Volume Up or Menu. Afterwards won't any of the 2 and home buttons respond
After a little break or a reboot, it all goes back to normal... Well only sometimes ..
I think it is a software problem, so I did a hardreset but it didn't solve anything ?
My Legend was all stock with Android 2.1 .. It was not rooted or anything ..
I don't really have an idea what this is caused by.. so does any of you know wtf is going on or have a solution ?? Cause it pretty annoying
Thanks !
Sometimes pressing menu and back at the same time causes some really weird things to happen. I'm not sure of a solution, but it's always been a minor issue for me too. Although never in the same way as yours, not that bad.
Never had that problem before. But I do have the menu + back button issue, not a big deal though. My advice is your send your phone for warranty and have them check it out.
It did it several times yesterday and had to reboot all the time ..
Mine doesn't really seem to have that back and menu problem.. But what is it doing? Maybe I have the same issue without knowing it ?
But yeah could send it back for a check ...

Hello,
I have the same problem.
I don't think its a software problem I rooted the phone to sereral roms even froyo (azure).
Now I'm back to stock 1.31.405.
I'am thinking to send it back for warranty but i'm afraid they won't do anything or see that i rooted the phone.
Please keep me update what your are going to do about it or if you find solution.
Nice to know I'm not alone
I don't really know what to, and I'm was kinda hoping that some of you could help Cuz I'm not really pro at Android yet
But it haven't done it the last 2 days which I find really weird!

I think i'm gonna send the phone back.
I made a video to show the guys at the store what the problem is:

If someone has any suggestions to make it dissapear thx
I also have the menu+back issue, maybe it is a feature (lol)
It is really weird: you push both buttons and the phone shakes and lags a little bit and after few seconds it vibrates three times. I have no idea why...
PS: I have not found any info googling about this.

Mine does the exact same problem After a couple of minutes of usage, the problem suddenly appears..
But I dont seem to have the Menu & Back problem ..?
Piacer pls keep me updated ..
I made a video too

But I'm also considering to send it in..
Had a very similar problem with my first legend. It didn't happen with the menu button but the volume was constantly being turned down, as if I was holding the volume down button. Brought it back for a replacement and have had no trouble with my new one.

Same problem for me!
if anyone have a clue, please help.
My warranty is in thailand... too far
I have the exact same problem. I tried everything. I even sent my phone in for repair and they "fixed" it and sent it back but it still has the exact same problem.
It seems like a hardware problem with these phones.

Damn i'm just going to send my legend for repair(first i will try out froyo).
I hope it will be fixed, not like yours
Hey
Have anyone of you got Froyo yet ? Just to see if it solved the issue ?
My Legend is unbranded so no Froyo for me yet .. But hope I get it in a couple of days
Mine is just back from warranty, they just put new software on it. Played one hour with it and it seems normal.

After reading this thread I just realised holding Menu brings up keyboard..
I read somewhere that the pressing back + menu button thing is a way of producing bug report for ppl who are using custom rom? im not sure if custom launcher does that too though...
when i press menu and back nothing happens to me, stock 2.1 and sense.
Same here, nice to know

I read that in the Cyanogen nightly thread also. Not too sure where the file ouput would be though, so its hard to check.

Hey
My power button seems to have failed on me. I press it but nothing happens and I leave the phone alone and it press itself. Something inside must have failed
Can I fix this myself? Not sure if I have a warranty on this phone anymore (never unscrewed but rooted and has CM running on it)
Hm can't say much. Did you drop it? Could there be dust and pocket lint in there preventing button movement?

Open your battery cover, does it say VOID?

Seems like delayed response. Not a dead power button. Check how much ram is left on ur phone.
Sent from my Desire Z via XDA App
Strange, I just had this happen to me the other day! It ended up being dust/lint...
hopefully that's all it is for you as well!
My power button is also acting up. When I hold it down while the phone is on nothing happens. When I pull the battery and put it back in it turns itself on. It is rooted running the Andromadus Alpha v5, previously running ILWT CM7 where it was doing the same thing but I didn't figure it out before flashing the ICS ROM. What would happen if I took it to a T-mobile store?
Happening exactly the same, button doesn't react completely and if i remove battery start up automatically. But i drowned the phone before so probably thats why...
Happened to me. I ended up just remapping my trackpad button to the power button.
How you did it?

I'd love to know that as well
My power button broke a little while ago so I just sent it in for a replacement. I unrooted first to be safe.

The symptoms sound to me like the power button is stuck down, either the plastic button itself or the actual switch contacts underneath it.
Seems like it has auto fixed itself...........for now.
I edited the curcial-oj.ko file or whatever. Changed the key binding to POWER instead of trackpad click.
You can use adb to pull/push the file from /system/usr/keylayout. Reboot after pushing
keep in mind this only affects the android os, so you still need to be able to turn on your phone without using the power button (can't use tp to power on phone)
Has anyone of you guys encountered the same issue with your HTC HD2? Care to share the fix you did? Would this mean bye-bye to my HD2 already?

If a clean install (task 29) doesn't help, then I guess you have no other option than sending it for reparation.
It seems like there is a limited life span on the touchscreen. Mine died in October, and I had to buy a replacement because nothing I did fixed the problem.
I had the same issue as you, but in my example touchscreen is slowly dying. For example I can't wake up the phone pressing right (red) button. So I learned that using any other button will not cause freeze of screen. I also discovered that if you gently slap your phone on hand, magically screen starts responding. Weird, but it's ‘working’ like this since 5 months so far.
I just encountered this problem with my HD2 as well. It seems that this is a fairly common issue. Apparently the digitizer for the touchscreen is located directly beneath the red power button and has a tendency to lose its connection.
For me, holding the red power button down with some force for about 5 seconds fixed the issue. Is this temporary? Perhaps, but it has worked just fine for a few days now. Try that out.
Can't Unlock the Phone..
I am having the same problem..I can't unlock the phone..No matter what android Rom I installed.I tried to removed the lock screen and the touch stopped working..But when the phone restarts and you put you pin etc,I can use the phone normally..but when it goes black and trying to turn it on again nothing works on the screen..
Though the hard buttom works..Home screen etc..but can't get the touch to work after the screen goes black!
It's not rom related
I have installed WM6.5 (Stock), Android GB, Android ICS, Android JB But the problem appears to be the same in all
when I press Red button touch doesn't work any more
I would go with digitizer theory
BUT my question is this:
is it gonna get worse? cause for now as long as i avoid Red button everything is OK :good:
and I love my HD2 but if getting worse is possible I have to get rid of it :crying:
Well i had the same problem.now my phone has been to the service centre for reparing

Funny (or sad) thing is we don't have an official service center here
so only option is to replace it or sell it as the way it is
Try this:
Lock the screen normally, screen turns off. (Power button)
To turn it on again by pressing any other screen buttons other than the power button. (DONT USE THE POWER BUTTON TO DO THIS)
I found that if I do it this way, the screen runs normal.
The center button on my SGS i9000 is not working. Pressing it has no effects. Service center says that they need to replace the entire screen to fix the problem which is very expensive for me.
So I installed a jb ROM and activated touch button panel. It works fine but the issue now is that the center button is dysfunctional and it gets pressed on its own. It wakes up phone from sleep and keep the screen on for hours. Also, during use it brings up recent screen which is annoying. I want to know is there any ROM or mod possible to disable the center physical button completely. I really need help on this.

I ffound this guide for fix
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1601003
but many people tried and broke their screen. I tried to open the phone. But couldnt open the screen without risk of breaking it as it was glued quite well.. so i left it.......
The problem is without button i can use the phone but the button keeps the screen on during lock which drains battery.. so i wanted to disable battery awake by center button.
Hello please i need your help, i was charging with the phone switched on, but i when i tried switching it back on, it vibrates thrice and starts blinking led light. After some hours, i explained it to a friend who was a phone engineer, he tried to switch it on and it came on to my surprise. I took it and used it for some time, tried playing music with it and discovered my volume up key wasnt working. I wanted to change my sim card and it started with the vibration stuff again. It looks like it's the volume key that's causing this, please i need help on this

Thats a weird problem man. Are you rooted? If yes, what rom are you on? What recovery, and also can you get into bootloader? Holding volume down and power button at the same time when the phones off gets you there.
I am not using any custom rom or anything am using version 2.3.5 When i press the volume down with power, the phone vibrates five times and shows a static green led light with a blank screen. I have checked the forum for people with similar problems but have found no solution.

Solid green light. Blank screen. No boot.
Take the battery out.
Then put it in.
Then hold volume down and power and don't let go until you see something.
