Sorry, but it sounds like your phone may be a clone (fake). You didn't provide enough information to be certain and need to look into this more. Download an app like "Phone Info" from the Play store and read some threads about clones to learn more.
A more definitive test would be to benchmark the processor. There are some pretty convincing clones available but none of them approach the genuine S5 processor power.
If you are lucky, you could have a genuine phone with Chinese firmware. But it really doesn't appear that is the case.

Hard to Press the Power Button !!

Hi All, I have owned a lot of HTC phones and now I have the HD, its the first time I see HTC phone with such small, thin, and hard to press power button !!
especially in the dark, I cant press it and wake up my phone easily !!
I MANAGED TO TWEAK MY HD and now I wake up my device pressing the volume button, but again I have new problem : sometimes when I carry my phone the volume get pressed by mistake and the ringer get muted or low and I miss some calls !!!
Any solution for this problem so I can wake up my phone from the standby without pressing the microscopic power button !!
Take out the stylus and insert it back again. That wakes up the device. Otherwise you might want to search for a G-sensor enabled "wake-up" application. "Shake_it_to_wake" so to speak...

How can you use it to wake up the device? I don't see that option in the description, except the default stylus in and out...
...
I guess S2U won´t help you with waking up your device but if you use volume buttons it will protect you from accidental muting your phone.
I found power hard to press, too, but then I looked closely: This power 'button' is indeed non-symmetrical - at least on *my* device: it stands up a bit on one side, the left side, which is closer to the middle of the HD. So I press it *there*, because obviously enough that's the place where the sensor is located. It works easy every time.

Can you tell me how?
Ducasito. Good observation. I wondered why sometime it was easy and sometimes hard. So the slight non-symmetrical button is not a manufacturing fault but a very subtle design feature. Now I know which side to hit. Thanks
Seems all HD's are different OR I have a very heavy finger.
All I need to do to get it to wake it lightly touch the power button and it comes on.

I suppose it is just a matter of "where" you push the button. Just push it on the left edge (where the small led is placed) and you will not need that much pressure to switch the device on or off. The button sensor is actually under that left edge. the picture shows the powerbutton part (picture taken from the HTC Touch HD service manual). Under the left edge of it is the sensor, so putting the pressure there is the best way of pressing the button

You can use AE button plus. I use this to convert my volum buttons to up and down buttons on single click, select/ok on double click, and volume on hold and press.
Thanks for your answer but I´ve a further question:
Do you "wake up" (from standby) the blackstone by using this AE button? I tried to use this software but I couldn`t wake up the Touch HD from standby by using the volume buttons.

Hard to press (power) buttons

Hi all,
I heard a lot of people complain about the hard to (press power) buttons.
Logically is the main reason why htc makes hard to press (power) buttons is to avoid acitentally turning the device on/off while its in your pocket or wathever.
So why not make good easy to press CAPACTIVE (power) HARDWARE buttons.
I think that should solve a lot of problems
Please share your opinions about this!
A capacitive power button would lead to people triggering it every time they put their hand in their pocket to get it if they so much as brush against it.
It's not that hard to press anyway.
edit: No to mention if you hold the phone in landscape mode the button would then rest against your palm, again triggering it.
a capacitive power button wont be enabled if u switched the device off.. how are you gonna start your phone then .. thats why its a physical button
i have no problem with the power button, i like it. was using a hd2 before and on this device the power button was the same like the [call end] button. and that drained my battery always. sometimes you sitting in a tight seat like on a airplaine and you alway acciedently hit the button or even by walking arround or if you have other stuff in your pocket.
It would have been nice if we could get an option to also use the volume down button to turn the screen on.

Next time please just name the app, makes it a lot easier, and saves a lot of searching.
Anyway, I found it on my own, and the app is called "No Lock". Best thing of all, it's free in the market!
This app will disable the lock screen, and thus wakes up immediately without having to unlock. Also, now you can wake the phone up with the volume button.
widget locker can also power on with volume button, and its very customizable but its not free, well worth the cost tho

power bottom need hard press to respond !!!

my power bottom need to hard press to respond , such that when I unlock screen
Does any of you face this issue??
I have it in WM6.5 and android cm9 !!
Hi,
my HD mini shows the same issue since a view month.
I think it is an hardware problem that the button does not recognize the pressing when you press not hard enough.
The_Two
I have this problem but not everyday, maybe once in three days, feels like button sticks. It's rather hardware problem.

[Q] Fail to use screenshot function

I am using D802 version, and I am facing a huge problem on my phone, that' s I cannot use the screenshot function, when I press home and vol down botton together, it only shows the vol slider on the screen.
As I have rooted and delete some system apps already, so I wonder am I delete the wrong system apps to make the screenshot function gone, can anyone help me? Or tell me which system apps is related to the screenshot function? Thanks.
Lol you just might be not pressing fast enough.
When in doubt, use Qmemo.
Hi,I have already tried way and speed to press the power and volume button, but it still fail.....
Can anyone help me please?
Try to hold it little longer. Got this problem too at first and now it's working. Lol, I don't know what really the problem. But try it many times and eventually it will work. GL
slide up from the home button to the right... from there on the top you can choose to save your screen or directly share it you can also draw on it... pressing the vol down and power can get awkward on the g2 Qmemo is the way to go
Put your fingers on both buttons. Hit volume down first and then quickly after hit power. "Bah-dum" is how it will sound. Wait 1-2 seconds and screenshot captured.
I do have to try QMemo.

One word: QuickMemo. Did you not get the memo?
Thought I had this problem as well, but I also didn't press long enough. Though it's much more convenient as mentioned before to use QuickMemo.
Press them down at the same time and hold until you hear or see the screenshot. Works perfectly for me the key is holding it down long enough.
