Seems if I don't press it for a while, it is kind of "crunchy" at first press but is fine when pressing it again repeatedly. It doesn't get stuck when depressed, but more like its a little stuck before pressing and is kinda rough that first initial push. Kinda hard to explain. Not a huge issue. Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this.

On my first one, the power button wouldn't depress if you pressed the top half of the button but it worked fine if you pressed the bottom half. Started the return process through Amazon and had a new one the next day.

Ahh, bummer. Is returning it still an option?
TBH, I'd gotten pretty used to just pressing the bottom half of the button

If you have moto care, I'd imagine you can swap it out. Like you said though, I'm just used to it now. If it ever gets worse or starts hanging, I will return it for a replacement. I am currently using double tap to sleep and there should be a double tap to wake feature soon with new ROMs dropping. So I wont be pressing the power button much except for reboots/recovery.

I got icing from a Cinnamon roll in mine the other day (lol, I know) and used a wet wipe to wipe down the edges, continuously clicked the power button, and after a few times doing this it got cleaned out and no longer sticks

Anyone has this problem? For example if I lay the phone down on my bed, I won't be able to hit the back button. The entire touchscreen responds done though...
Anyone?

Yep.............
"You're holding it wrong."
That sounds very strange.
Well, I'd hate to say it, but are you "pressing them wrong"?
What I mean is, we all know the buttons are a little tricky, how the touch sensitive part is near the top of the button. Could it be you've trained yourself to easily press them the correct way while holding, but when it is lying down you end up pressing it lower? Due to the angle of your finger when you touch it?
I've never had any trouble when the phone was laying down, and just tried it out again right now. I do have to touch them in the exact same spot (shifted a bit higher) as when holding it.
When I first got my N1 I noticed the same. Just hit it a bit higher
Sent from my Nexus One
Yea I tried out suggestions by you guys, hitting higher did help!
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Odd, I always had this problem, never considered it much of a problem. Mainly cause I hold it 99% of the time, but I did find that if I touch it lower, as in touch the bezel at the same time as I touch the button, no problem.

This! I thought the same thing as the OP when i first got mine, but you get used to it.
I've also experienced this... but as the others would say just hit higher or you'll get used to it.
Sent from my Nexus One using xda premium
Having vibrate on for button press helps a lot because of the issue with having to hit the buttons higher.
It does get a little annoying but small price for such a good phone really I'm loving it regardless. It does seem like a strange thing though I've not come across it on some of the other android phones I've had before.
Had never happened for me. Its the same if i hold it in hand or not.
Simple Question I think:
How to reboot a LG Nexus 4 when it freezes. You can´t pull the Battery out. Is there a Key combination to do so?
You hold down the power button until the device powers off.

Does this also apply when flashing roms and kernels ? I am thinking about scenarios where you have a boot loop after a bad flash, does holding down the power button still work ? This is the only thing holding me back from buying a Nexus 4.

That is a completely different device.
Worked on the Galaxy S2 also this way, you can hold the power button while booting (bootloop) after several seconds it completely shutsdown.
It's different on different devices. On HTC it's holding +vol,-vol and power button together. On others it may differ. But any phone with non removable battery has a hard reset button combibation afaik.
I was under the impression that if you have a small phillips screwdriver nearby you can unscrew the two screws on the bottom of the device to access/pull the battery.
Works fine on HOX.
Holding power button has #1 priority.
Holding power whilst in a bootloop will turn off the device, hold it a little longer and it will reboot.
Holding power + volume down takes you to fastboot.

Same as Gnex/ N7 I guess, hold both the volume buttons and power and you're out of any crap you got yourself in.

On the G2x, holding Vol Up + Power does the trick, HOWEVER, there have been times when my phone has froze and that did not reboot my device and I still had to pull my battery...

Ummm, I wouldn't make that kind of suggestion to the people around here haha. The battery is NOT meant to be removed. Can it be? Yes. Should it be? No. Especially not for a reset. You risk damaging some things or wearing down the spring antennae connectors if you are constantly opening it up just to unhitch the battery. I think it is glued in anyways.
Holding the power button on my GS2 always restarts it even if it is stuck in a bootloop. I assume this phone will work the same way.

From what I been reading they are Torx screws.

Many devices with the non removable battery use this - holding both volume up and down buttons and the power button - for performing a hard reset.
Posted from my Sweet Lil' Nexus
Hard reset should not be an issue for XDA flashers!
Hold down power button for ~10 seconds.

Can someone actually reply here who HAS a Nexus 4 and has actually tried whatever combination it may be to reset... rather than people coming and saying how it is on HTC or Samsung or whatever the hell... noone cares about those... the question is how to do it on the N4 and ONLY the N4 along for what IS the correct method, rather than what they THINK it is...
Thank you

HOLD. POWER.
Wow.
Hey guys,
Recently got my Nexus 7. I tried turning it on when it came out of the box but it didn't.
So I though I'd charge it for a while. When I plug it in a battery icon pops up for about ten seconds and then the screen goes black again.
I can't turn it on at all. Tried holding the power button for a long time but that didn't work either.
I'd really appreciate it if you guys could help me out rather quickly because I'm on holiday in the US so I've got limited time left to swap it, if nothing else helps.

When I took it out of the box the battery was about half full (according to the charging animation). Now it appears to be full. Left it charging for about 2 hours.
Thanks for the quick reply by the way.
try holding the power button down and the volume down button. see if itll boot into the bootloader. if it does, select start in the bootloader then press the power button to select. maybe itll boot that way.

Not working either. The only thing I've managed to see on my display is the charging animation so far.
Feels like such a disappointment.
have you tried holding down the power button longer than you would expect to hold it down? like 1-2 minutes.

Just held it for 3 straight minutes. Nothing. At one point I thought I saw something on the screen but it was a reflection. Haha.

I had a similar issue after a couple months of use with mine. The screen just turned black while I was playing a game and it wouldn't respond to anything. At first I thought it had shorted out or something, and I was considering returning it, but after about an hour of leaving it alone on the charger, it started working again like magic. My friend had the same exact issue. Idk maybe this helps....

you should probably exchange is well you still have a chance. better to be safe than sorry.
If you're feeling froggy, you could check to see if the battery is plugged in. Asus seems to have a QC problem when it comes to connecting the N7 battery.

Quality on Samsung devices is terrible.
Dropped mine from 30cm and now the home button feels fidgety.
Please see this thread.
Coming from almost any other Android phone, Samsung can be difficult to get used to. The capacitive buttons, menu and back are swapped on Samsung's as opposed to almost every other phone.
Is there a way to swap the buttons without root?

Probably not. You will get used to it though. What is harder to accept is the clicky home button and inaccurate/slow fingerprint sensor.

My fingerprint scanner is fast and I'd say 90% accurate as long as its dry (been a few times my fingers are wet after eating/drinking that it is unable to read). My problem is sometimes the home button clicks, but does not register. It's not add loss of a click Fogg so I think I'm just not pressing right lol.

Yes. You can swap them. I do it. Use all in one gestures and galaxy buttons. One will swap, the other will turn off the backlight so you don't get confused. No root needed (obviously).

Mine is/was really slow and only seems to work 50 to 75% of the time. Sometimes it takes two or three tries to get it to work. I also hated seeing the Lockscreen before it unlocked. Overall it was a crappy experience and one of the biggest reasons I'm selling it. Oddly enough, TouchPiss isn't one of them.

What about an option to play next / last media track by using the volume keys? Or long press home for torch. I'm on a rooted s3 still and am looking to upgrade but I think remapped buttons will be one of the biggest things I'll miss from xposed.

Is it possible to map a long press of the buttons to a specific button like 'switch to last app' or 'kill foreground app' etc?
