Power button stuck down

Hi All
My power button on my phone is stuck down, It not longer sticks out. I can still get it to work if i push it down with the stylus.
I stuck a pin down each side of the button to ensure the button was not wedged under any part of the case but this has not resolved the issue.
Im not sure what to do and it is starting to become annoying.
Has this happened to anyone else and if so, how did they fix it?
Thanks
Fixed
My button is fixed. No idea how. I just pulled it out of my pocket and went to press the button and it was back to its old self again.
So if anyone has a broken button in the future, just give it a day or two and it will probably fix itself
Thanks All

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You are exactly lucky.....the power button on my device has not been working for more than half of a year and I have to use a programs to soft rest or hard rest my device. The only problem is that I can't flash the rom without the power button if I'd like to.....

Call button and hang-up button, ... don't work

my P3600 has a problem - pressing call and hang-up button as well as ok, menu and 2 function buttons on the top keybad do not work.
However, center and direction buttons do work.

thanks for your help.
Needs a bump
Just bumping the thread cause I have the exact same problem on my phone. I had it in my camera bag on a hiking-trip this weekend and I think either it was pressed against something or the moist got it. The center buttons still work, but I dont think its on the same connector inside.

Try to use AE Button Plus
Hi,
I have the same problem. Any fixes as of yet?
What a stupid design.

Menu and back button.

I just bought a used hd2 yesterday, and it came with magldr with ultimate droid rom 3.3. I found out that none of the physical button acts as a Menu and Back button which makes navigation and menu access very hard. I even changed roms but still same thingn
My question is, is hd2 don't map physical keys as menu and back? Or is my unit actually defective? All the buttons work though, only that the Window and Home button does the same thing while Back and End button turns off the screen.
Thanks in advance!
Update: I have manage to get the menu (window) button working, but the back button is more trickier.. it seems thatt the physical button is actually pressing other keys.. in this case when I pressed the Window button for menu.. it will actually press the Home button which will bring me back to home screen. And for the back button, its actually pressing the End button, although I did manage to get it to press its back button, but its quite difficult. Does anyone knows how to fix this?
reply back button
I think that u may have a faulty back button or that dirt got under it thefe are guides on here xda that show u how to fix back button etc but it requires you taking phone apart and you need to read guides totally and follow steps there are also guides on youtube as well. It also sounds that the buttons might have been remapped there is an app called button remapper that allows you to change what the physical buttons do like the phone button back button etc do in other words you can change what every physical button on your hd2 does like for example the volume keys you would be able to change to back button etc. Read about button remapper on google before attempting to use app hope this helps you.
That's a common issue in the HD2, probably your device is defective.
Don't bother with the warranty, replacement and all that stuff since the back and menu aren't required for flashing or entering bootloader mode.
Just download "zMooth" app from market. (Pro version will give you End & Search)
I would prefer fixing the physical keys as they are important functions that is required in order to navigate around. Any links to how to fix the buttons? I think they are just misaligned because of prolong usage. Because multiple tries proves that it can still work.
Update: I have seen the official tutorial video for disassmbling the HD2, to just replace the keypad flex ribbon requires one to go very deep inside the phone before you can actually access the flex ribbon for the keypad. Now i am thinking twice to repair the physical button, let alone give an unofficial service guy to replace it.
@Marvlesz
I have installed zMooth, nice app.. but take some time getting used to. thanks!
or you can try a cm7 rom and use the tablet tweak soft keys in the options.
u can use button savior to replace all buttons .. it's a must have for me ..
Does anyone know if physical button problem such as mine are caused by the wear and tear of the flex cable or is it because of the plastic buttons itself?
