I got my HD2 Used so i dont know how button is supposed to be. Is there supposed to be a click to it?
Mine end button 'clicks', as do all the others apart from the back button. However, as long as the button still functions, I'm not too worried
But in answer to your question, I believe that all hardware buttons should 'click' when pressed on our HD2's...

So I'm having this minor issue with the Legend, or rather, the power button.
The button seems to be very hard to press down on the right side, and very loose on the left side.
I don't know if this is how it's supposed to 'feel', which is the point of this post.
Do you guys have any problems with the power button?
It feels as if there's a 'gap' between the surface the button is supposed to press against when you press on the loose end (left side of the button).
Also makes a click sound when you press is softly (phone is not activated)
If that makes any sense
Power button on my legend is firm on both sides. Maybe you got a factory defective phone?

my home button is kinda like this sloppy on the left and the actual button fells like its on the right.
I fear its a dud button but I don't want to send my legend back to the UK from Australia

i think that it is normal. mine is the same goes also for the search button...
same as Tillertow
but I did not use that bottom usually (except power on phone)
I have install Lock 2.0 to use other bottom to wake up the phone.
I don't know whether this is ROM dependent or if something just suddenly eff up on my end. Been using tytung's GB V3 NAND for quite some time now, and now im having the problem that the end key doesnt put the phone to sleep. Not only that, but it can't even end-call as well. Though if I hold it down long enough and release it, im presented with a phone options with the choices of silent mode, airplane mode, reboot, and power off." Anyone know whether I have to remap my keys, do a factory reset, or use a different ROM? TIA!
Your in the same boat as me, the Power button wears out, I have trained myself to not use it, I use a combo of Button Savior and Button Remapper.

Hey guys.
Ive been having a lot of trouble with my power button. At first it became less responsive (Having to push the button 2-3 times to activate the screen).
Now it seems like it is not working at all (Having to push 6-7 times).
Anyone seen this problem before and knows of a way to fix it?
Or does anyone know a workaround? (Like using the search button to act like the power button perhaps?)
Thanks in advance.
I don't really have any suggestions on how to fix the power button itself, but I do have a few workarounds if you're interested
The first is Smart Screen ON. This app was featured on the main portal not too long ago, and I have to say, it works quite well. It uses the proximity sensor to turn the screen on and (optionally) off. In the span of two weeks, it's saved my phone over 2000 power button presses (the app keeps track). I have been running the app 24/7 since I installed it and have not noticed any impact on battery life. I'd say it's worth a try.
As an alternative, you may have some luck with ButtonRemapper (requires root). It should let you remap the search button like you had wanted. You could just edit the keyboard files directly, but this app makes it pretty simple. : )
Also, in case you didn't know, the home button will wake the phone by default, but it obviously doesn't turn the screen back off.

Same thing with me mine is fully broken my work around is download button rempaper and I have made the search button act as the power button.
This is great but to turn my phone on I have to plug it into a charger and launch into Cwm then click reboot phone.

Thats what im trying to avoid.
What program did you use to remap the button?
Thanks for the info man!
Yeah it's a ***** how the phone only lasts a year before it starts breaking but glad i can get rid of it in 2 months.
I use ButtonRemapper, i take it you have root access so just download the .APK i have attached and its pretty simple just find the search key in the app and change it so it acts like the power button (It's simply you will get it when you open the app). Once you have done that the phone works fine when in normal use you just gotta tap the search button not the power button.
But as my power button is fully broken im not sure if the power button works if the phone turns off. So my work around is plug the charger in then when you see the sony logo keep taping the volume down until you launch in CWM and then just tap reboot now and it will boot up, hope this helps.
It's the only work around without having to spend money i could think off, so defiantly a good temp fix.
Yeah i think the build quality of this device isnt what it could've been. Although im happy the screen hasnt broken yet.
Thanks for the APK!
You can just use the hone button to wake the screen. Give the power button a break

Yeah im doing that and using the search button to sleep the screen.
This way i hope it wont die on me for another year
Anyone else have a Galaxy S4 with a power button that feels really soft when pressed? My volume and home buttons both have a satisfying click while my power button just feels weak and pressing anywhere other than the center of the button feels like I'm not pressing anything at all. I tried my friend's phone out and it isn't like that for him.
If you have a case on it an awkward position of the press might make you think like that. That was my case anyway

The first thing I did was take it out of my case to test it out. Why wouldn't I?
