hi.
I just recently bought a brand new G2 and I want to use it without a case for some time.
My question is, since the power button is sticking out of the rest of the back (and does have most of the contact with the table or the surface the phone is on), can the power button be easily scratched from the surface?
Thanks.

Okay, so basically heres the story. Idiot makes me drop my phone on cement horsing around while I was taking a video, cracked my digitizer. Get someone to replace digitizer and he cracked the lcd screen, replaced that too and lost the button pad for the bottom: call/back/home/power.
As of a week or so ago, the CONTACT PAD for the power button fell off, so now I can't use the power button at all. If it shuts down, its game over for my phone. Is there a fix that I can use? Can't really afford a new phone or a new mobo for the hd2 now.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
What are you using android,winmo? If its android you can use the app "button remapper" and remap the hardware buttons.
Tried the app I found, it didn't work.
Is there a "free" button remapper that works?
Button remappers only work once the OS is loaded up. It won't do anything for the power button if your phone turns off (full power-off).
Solution: Make idiot buy you a new phone.
Hey Everyone,
I got my Noreve case, and one thing I'm quite happy with is how it makes the power and volume buttons much harder to hit accidentally.
This is because it reverses the situation:
On the stock note the buttons are higher than the frame. Therefore when you hold it, it's easy to slide over and accidentally whack the power button. With the case, the case is now 'higher' than the button, and you kind of have to deliberately poke your finger in to trigger.
That being said - I was thinking about the capacitive buttons.
I'm thinking of making some sort of 'O' out of tape (?!?) or something, that covers the capacitive buttons. That way if I want to hit the button, I can poke my finger in and hit it. But if I'm just holding the phone and entering text, I am much less likely to 'rub' the back button and lose whatever I'm doing.
Need to find something that's not too cheesy looking though.
My phone is inside a case so I'm not worried about it being thicker and rubbing off in my pocket.

You have expressed what I have been thinking about for years, since my first phone with touch-sensitive buttons ( the HTC Touch HD ).
Now I'm on my third phone with touch sensitive buttons ( Touch HD, Galaxy S, Galaxy Note ), and the same issue still plagues me : every once in a while, I would accidentally brush against the back button and it pops me back to the prev screen, which annoys the hell out of me.
Some nice stick-on buttons which require a firm press to activate would be great.

Hello,
Recently I found my father's old Moto Defy and I think it would be nice as backup phone, considering it has cm7 available. It would be great if the power button worked, though. Is there anything I could do about that right now or would I have to replace whole motherboard for this phone to work?
mine fall off my hand and now doesn't work, I disassembly and the switch was slided, I manually moved back to front and i works, just for a short time. I guess it has to be soldering again... btw with CM you can unlock screen with volume keys
Hello Guys,
i just want to ask, if you have experienced the same problem as i. I don´t know if i´m only imagine it, but somehow the power button suddenly seems to be very easy to press, with no feedback when the Axon 7 is in my case (Spigen Rugged Armor). It feels like the button is light pressed in the case, so i just need to touch the power button on the case and the display gets on. Theres no "click" or a deep press anymore. Without the case everything seems to be normal. It happend today, i don´t know how or when, but suddenly when i grabbed the phone something felt wrong, and it was the power button.
Can someone share this experience?
I have the same case. Button (power + vol) feels the same between the 3 buttons. Of course it's going to feel different than without a case, but that's to be expected. There is definite resistance when pushing any button and a solid click when it's depressed.
Perhaps your case is defective? Exchange for another one.
I asked my dad to put in my new battery fro the zte axon 7 and after he was done he some how broke the power button. not the one on the back shell of the phone but the one on the strip and the screen. the small plastic sheet with the black thing in the middle is missing. I was wondering how can I fix it or turn it on without the power button working.
just plug in your charger and it will boot up just fined. im also had broken power button+volume
and been using it for 3 weeks already

if you can't just connect it to turn on, expose the buttons strip and take a look at the power button. If the small piece of metal is still soldered, take it out and use something metallic to connect the pads that are below (there should be 2, maybe 4 i don't remember). The phone should turn on.
You'll have to buy the strip off of Aliexpress or somewhere like that, someone else here broke the button the same way and had to buy one from China
