hi guys just recently my one x started playing me up. when i press power button to unlock it dont always unlock the screen, sometimes takes few presses, anybody else found this issue?
ive done a reset on phone to
Yes, I believe it responds differently depending on which side you press it from. If your finger is coming from the back of the phone and is not sufficiently strong, it sometimes does not register a press (my guss is because it is sloped). But whenever I do a direct strong press, it always responds.

It's possible that the drop could of broke it as you could of cracked the housing for the button slightly and continued use of the button over time the crack got bigger and pushed the button further in the phone, by dropping it you may of reduced the fair wear and tear of the phone.

i didnt wanna hear this!!
weird tho it only happens if the phones been left alone for a while, if i lock then unlock straight away its fine its when i leave it theres a issue
Mine sometimes does that too. But not consistent though. I assume it's because I'm on a fresh Jelly Bean. Hopefully the latest build would fix this.
I did thought it might have something to do with the button being in an angle also.

just thought i would mention that i became concerned about basic wear and tear on my power button eventually destroying it, so i tried an app called ultimate on off in the play store. it actually works pretty well, but of course if you want to do a reset or take a screenshot, you do have to use the power button. otherwise, i don't touch that button any more.
after posting about the screen unlock issue. my one x developed massive screen flicker issues screen was hoping all over the place and it was almost like it looked dissovled in places. its gone back to repair,. just hop htc dnt c the little mark and refuse me, although the vodafone paperwork says in perfect condition!!!
Hey dan, it sounds exactly like the problem I've had with my HOX. At first the unlock button did not always respond and then the UI started acting up, flying all over the screen and distort and stuff and finally it just didnt turn on at all anymore.
They HTC lady I contacted said it was hardware related and I highly doubt it has anything to do with you dropping the phone once.

I had this problem with a custom kernel. The phone entered something called deep sleep if i recall correctly. This made me press the power button multiple times before it would wake, but only if the phone hadn't been used for a while.

its all new and i suppose we have to accept some initial teething issues, but my desire never did!
I had this issue and it seems to me that it actually is the blank screen of death issue

It sometimes happen to me when you try to unlock my phone right after you lock it (pressing the lock button to lock the screen then pressing the lock button to unlock). I don't know if its the same issue that you are having though.
My power button is extremely weak. almost no travel at all.. unfortunately my friends HOX is decent movement so i guess mine is just spanked
Did you meant Awesome On Off? I just tried it and so far so good. Its not perfect but it works for now. I guess its pretty cool how the phone automatically turns on when you tilt it at a certain angel.

when it happened to me, to ensure it wasn't the power/lock button, I installed a kernel with sweep to wake, and when I tried sweeping to wake, the problem repeated itself.
maybe you guys could try that to differentiate between a problem in the display or the actual button. That is...if you're rooted.
Otherwise, you might as well take it to the repair
so apparently vodafone have "exchanged" my phone whether that means new or refurb time will tell!!
I got my m8 on 4/12/14 and i was going to make a phone call today for the first time without bluetooth and i noticed when i brought the phone up to my ear that there was what sounded like something jiggling loose in the phone, its not very loud, and seems to be located somewhere in the upper half of the phone.
Is anyone else experiencing something like this? i read a thread where some people were complaining about the volume button being loose, but i do not think it is that, as i held the volume with my finger and shook the device, only to still hear it.
I noticed this yesterday. It's the power/lock button.

Thanks! I hadn't even thought it could be that, i wonder if that is a Quality control issue or if that is just the way it is.
Mine is the same way. I'm not too worried about it as it doesn't seem like it is going anywhere, just has a little extra play.
Mine seems to be that way also, but I really have to shake the phone to hear it. Looks like it's just the way it is

Well i suppose its reassuring to see so many people experiencing it, makes me much less nervous
Is there a way to disable the hard reset caused by holding the power button for 7-10 seconds? I used the xposed additions to disable the power button, but it does not disable the hard reset from the very long power button hold. The reason I want to disable it is because my power button seems defected and it constantly presses it on its own which causes my phone to reboot or shut down. I used xposed to disable the power button and it helps, but the shut downs and reboots still occur from time to time.
I highly doubt it. That's going to be something hard coded into the processor or something along those lines. On just about any system you need to have some way of performing a hard reset even when everything else is royally screwed up. Not having that function is just a bad idea IMO, though I understand why you want to stop it.
I highly recommend you look into replacing the power button though. I've seen several devices become corrupt or damaged beyond repair due to the constant rebooting.
Or at least look at the power button thread in general section. I think the last few posts describes a somewhat risky way of fixing it yourself.

Thanks for the reply. So I've decided to remove the button as a temporary solution. I'm not removing the connected part on the inside, just the plastic button on the side and hopefully that'll stop anything from ever reaching the button deep inside. My only issue would be if the phone happened to shut down and I am not around a usb port, I may be stuck with a powered off phone. Unless someone has an alternative way of powering on the device without the use of the power button or a charger?
By the way, I am the OP but didn't realize I wasn't on my account when I posted the question.
A lot of the power button issues are actually a faulty switch, meaning removing the plastic piece won't help much. If it does for you that's great though. You'll be able to use something small like a pin or paperclip to still turn it on though.

Here's a video that shows disassembly and removal of the button assembly. It doesn't look like the switches would be the kind that would stick, so it's probably crud in the buttons. You could try to remove and clean the assembly, but if you are still in a warranty exchange period you might consider that.
I'm hoping that different color buttons come out soon. I'd like to change mine out for red, white, or blue.
Back on topic please... If you haven't anything constructive to say then please don't post at all... No one wants to see people arguing over something here. Regardless of who's thread this is the forum rules still apply to all.
Thread cleaned
I just confirmed this happening to me, but I think it's been happening for awhile. I'm going to warranty exchange because even without touching the volume button, it is constantly trying to lower itself as if I were holding the button down continuously. Serious glitch... Not only prevents listening to music, but also interferes with any other buttons/typing.
I've had the phone for a few days now (ordered last week on Amazon), and thought I'd share my experience so far.
Edge Sense is buggy. Activating it sometimes activates the volume down button. Sometimes it's REALLY sensitive, and sometimes it just doesn't work. Doesn't really matter how I've calibrated the squeeze level.
These buttons... I understand the frustration that reviewers have, and not even from a defect perspective, but from a usability perspective. I find them too sensitive. I often accidentally press the power button as I handle my phone in different ways (e..g, trying to show a video to a friend on my phone in landscape mode; showing a friend how to use the camera), causing the screen to turn off.
Ghost presses on the volume down and power buttons happen sporadically, but enough times (in one day) to drive me nuts. When in my pocket and listening to music, the volume occasionally lowers (is it thinking I'm pressing the volume down button?). My phone has rebooted multiple times on its own (even into recovery mode on two occasions). It's as if it thinks I'm pressing and holding the volume down and/or power buttons. This happens maybe 2-3 times a day. It doesn't sound like a lot, but it's a HUGE pain, and a showstopping bug IMO.
I feel like when the phone gets hot, Edge Sense and the buttons go crazy with sensitivity and ghost presses.
The volume buttons don't work at all in battery saver mode!
For some reason, none of the buttons work when I have my phone in a car mount that squeezes onto the sides.
I really want to like this phone, because aside from these issues (for me, they're approaching to be dealbreakers), the phone is fantastic. The camera is truly phenomenal. I am really hoping that the upcoming firmware update arrives stateside ASAP, because I'm almost ready to hit the 'return' button on Amazon.

It seems since you have older software, maybe the Amazon units are shipping with older software. I wouldn't know, just a guess. But I'm quite sure an update or two will get better for you.

Yeah, its not "amazon units" or software versions. I have one direct from HTC, 3 days old. WORST buttons ever. Response is so variable its disgusting. And no one here has even mentioned putting a case on this u12+... Do that and buttons work maybe 10% of the time. Absolutely unacceptable...
And if you thing its a great build.... Think again... Those buttons are held on with double-sided tape... LMFAO
And you can get the back cover off without tools, its just adhesive all the way around.... One fingernail and your're in! But on the bright side, you can replace the battery really easy yourself... So enjoy!

There are many more here who disagree, of course I will find out for myself Thursday. So far I see only two of you pissing all over it, one who does have an older software version, 1.15 when there is a version that is 1.21 who is not having these issues.
About the stick on buttons, glad they are so easily replaceable. LMAO

Is this happening with Bluetooth? When using phone speaker it works here fine.
Also what's the setting you left your phone's squeeze sensitivity at while these volume slide and phantom power happened?
I read that you tried a few settings but what's the one you stayed with where this mostly happened.

I'm getting more of a laugh out of this than you all are. It seems I'm not the one hung up on HTC. I'm not the one whining about it and can't realize I can just move on if it's that bad. I don't hang in threads of phones I don't want or like just to rub it in on how bad they are LMAO
He claims he knows it's not the software version. I'd like to see what version he is on. Not just run his mouth.

It's really strange... The volume buttons work when the screen is off and you have something playing or paused. If there's nothing playing at all, they don't work.
At least this is happening with my phone. I wonder if anyone else experiences this. It certainly seems like it's by design.

Personally I've never had them be unresponsive (except for in a car mount and when the screen is off with no audio playing/paused weirdly). They're pretty responsive for me. In fact, they're TOO responsive. They're too sensitive, which is prone to a lot of accidental presses. I'm actually trying to avoid touching the buttons.
It's the ghost presses and edge sense freakouts that drive me up the wall, as seldom as they happen.
no problems on my USA U12+ 128GB straight from HTC preorder hardware version 3 and i even dropped it once in the bathroom from the window ledge and it fell on the tile floor and not even a scratch also it was without the case so im glad its not shattered but my volume buttons have been very solid and works well with edge sense if u set it to sensitivity level 3 or higher for me
I have some problem on mine too, the volume down button is extremely sensitive and a slight touch will trigger it, the top one is harder but I like it better since it makes no problem. The power button is sensitive but less than volume down so it's not so bad.
Also when holding the phone normally by the side or when in my pocket the down button is triggered by pressing or slightly bending the top of the screen, it's really annoying when listening to music in the car or making a call.
Bought mine from HTC last week with the 1.15 version. If there is no update on this by the end of next week I'll have to send it back.
I hope it's gonna get corrected, I'm with htc since the hd2 and never was disappointed so I'd hate to switch brand when close to everything else about this phone is perfect.

The Update is already near. I hope it'll roll out during the upcomming week. As far as I know it adresses Edge Sense and the button sensibility as well as battery life, and according to the tweet by LlabTooFeR it'll even bring the June 2018 security patches.
I for one have absolutely no issues with the buttons till now, however, seeing the number of people who are having problems makes me wonder if it's my settings or if I have not used my phone that much to experience any niggles.
I have kept the sensitivity to the third bar from the left.
