My sister in laws power button is broken - any suggestions on a fix?
I tried taking the button off and you can turn it on using the stylus still.
Don't suggest a new phone I already think that's in the cards.
Thanks

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.

one think I missed switching from nexus one to mt4g is touch buttons.
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 I got the phone like 3 days ago through Craig's. Today I started noticing power button failures. And finally, it died out and it doesn't work anymore. I use app to turn of screen and wake with volume. How much would Samsung fix it for? Ans how much would it be for a regular mobile store

I'm running rascream i9020t tmobile. With dark elegance theme. Could it be software issue?

Hy i dont know how much would the repear cost, but how do you turn on your phone then? I can advise you an app that i am using it's called Smart screen on, it's available on play store. What it does is it turns your proximity sensor into screen on and off switch. You can set it up the way you like, for instance you can just wave over the sensor and it will turn the screen on and the same for turning it off B-)

I'm using Schermo Smart PRO to switch on and off. It works very well.
Same problem! I am really confused is there a Volume Key tweak or there isn't. I could not find it.

It's in the settings. Nothing big really. It's location can differ from rom to rom but it's usually called Volume rocker wake.
The repair costs around 50-60$ US for the power button.
I just had mine repaired:
it cost me $30 + (shipping from my part $9 insured)

I tried calling Samsung and the only thing they were able to tell me is that the minimum repair is $75 usd (+ my shipping), they didn't tell me how much to repair the button, but it is at least $75
Is there a way or an app that can disable the power button so it doesn't wake up the phone?

How else would you plan on waking up the phone? Home button?

Yes I was thinking of just using the home button. And as for just not pressing it, that also works but I'm always pressing the button by accident since its so sensitive. But thanks for the advice
I have read you are able to disable the home button. I was just wondering if you could do the same with the power button.

With the power button I don't think so. I wouldn't even want to disable my power button never know what could happen

I agree. The volume and power buttons are very sensitive. I've had an Otterbox Defender case on since I bought the phone and never had a problem since the case makes those two buttons difficult to press. But I used the phone naked last weekend and I kept hitting those two buttons, especially when I was in landscape mode. Real PITA. Plus holding the phone was akin to holding a wet bar of soap. Needless to say, I put it back in the case.
In any event, if you disable the power button, what if the phone locks up or shuts down by mistake...how will you power it back on? Doesn't sound like a good idea to me.
You may want to consider looking for a slim case that covers the buttons, thus making them less sensitive to inadvertent activation.
