I was concerned wth the power button, too. That is why I changes my home button to act as my power button.

Hardware reset Pro2?

How to hardware reset Touch Pro2?
RHOD100 MFG 32M SS-BC 0.74.1000
I recive answer from HTC:
The way you do a hard reset on a touch Pro 2 is :
1. With the device turned off, press and hold the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, then briefly press the POWER button.
2. Continue pressing the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons until you see this message on the screen:
3. Release the VOLUME UP and VOLUME DOWN buttons, press the VOLUME UP button to perform the hard reset, or press any other button to cancel the reset
Thank you once again for your continued patronage.

But, this instruction not work.
Try holding the Vol Up and Down together and Reseting with the Stylus. (Just a guess BTW )
P.S. Did you get my PM ?
Thanks

Does it get to the point where it shows you a reset message on screen?

From what I've read about the Topaz:
Hold Vol UP and Vol DOWN together (keep them pressed down and do not release). Then press the reset button with the Stylus and hold it for a few seconds, then remove the stylus keeping vol up and down pressed.
Or if the device is off hold down Vol Up and Vol Down (keep them both pressed until you see the message) and then Power On.
A Hard Reset is usually a two button combo whilst the device is powering on (either from a reset or from a cold boot).

That screen reads like the software is dead due to it being a beta test.

I have the same problem. Can anybody PM me with a solution to this? Tried all I know and nothing works...
Ok, here it is.
To hard reset Touch PRO 2 you have to press power + start call (green) + end call (red) buttons. Hold them all and press reset button. Keep holding them untill you see screen that says to press volume up button to reset .

Think he meant to say, turn the phone off, hold start call and end call keys and then press power on while holding down the two buttons. Nothing needed with the reset button.

What is this, some pre-release touch pro 2?

[Q] Volume up + Volume down

Hey lads,
this is probably a very dumb Q, but since I am new to all this android schmuzzle and couldn't find ballocks on that, don't judge me too hard ;]
I've noticed that when u press both VolUp and VolDown ( put pressure kinda in the middle or the rocker ) the phone vibrates once and then after several seconds (seems to vary) it vibrates three times fast. Now what the flick is that? Not that much of a big deal but it gets annoying given that even when the screen is off and the phone is locked doesn't seem to give a damn
thanks
has happened to me too but hard to reproduce. I have no ideas why it happens. Sometimes it occurs when the phone is booting up for me as well.
Put ur finger in the middle of the rocker and press ( not even hard ). It happens every time in my case. even when the phone is locked
I get the same behaviour, sure is strange.
Kinda old thread but I didn't want to start a new one either. I've noticed this too by accident. When you turn off your screen and press both volume buttons at the same time it vibrates once and every other time twice or thrice. If it vibrates only once it will vibrate again a couple of times after about 10 seconds. Has someone found a reason to this already?

Maybe HTC thought "Why not? Let's do this and see how they discuss about it." ^^

These buttons are part of combimation of three finger salute (at least look like that)...if you press voulme up + Down and power button, phone will reboot....so might be vibration is just an indicator to show go ahead and press the power button for restart.......Just a Guess
Pressing Volume Up + Down simultaneously while having USB Debugging turned on creates a bug report in the bugreports folder on your SD card.

I can't get it to reboot by pressing the 3 buttons.

This is correct, there's always a new bugreport after I press the volume buttons. I don't think that it's even necessary to have usb debugging on.
Thanks for the quick answers, but could there be something more to it?

Press the power button first and then press volume up and down..you will get a reboot...
Nope, can't get it to reboot. Perhaps this is rom related?

It shouldn't be, but its really hard to get it if you are trying to press three button, you can try power button and middle vol button......any ways I also tried lot of times before I got my first reboot....
1) Pressing both VOL UP & VOL DOWN at the same time = Vibrations & all processes' states and stacktraces dumped to /data/arn/traces.txt (thanks to alind_)
2) Pressing both VOL UP & VOL DOWN at the same time + POWER BUTTON once = instant reboot
Works for me with CM7 and Stock Sense.

[Q] ICS Beta, How to capture a screen?

Is there anyway to take a screen shot without loading any other apps.
(I'd try power btn + vol down but seems like it doesn't work.)
Power Button and Vol. Down

Thank you very much, but when i press(hold) the power btn, then the menu pop up and when I press more on the volume down, the sound level still opened!
Is there any response or any notice when the screen was taken?
You have to press and hold both buttons at the same time.
Power + vol down
It makes cam noise ,gives preview and notification in notification bar
Good luck

It is probably turning off as ua pressing the lock button.. which is also the power ON/OFF button..
?LOL?
you'll need to press and hold the power button. no other key required. you can also do it with some 'style' with 14 lidroid toogles or adb command.
PS: press and hold power button will give you a hard reset. this method might make your sdcard corrupted. I don't recommend this method for anyone.
Don't you just have to press and hold the POWER button for 10 seconds to reset the phone? No other buttons are needed.
Press 'Thanks' if I helped!

Or why take the trouble? :victory:
Switch it off using the power button. Switch it back on when it vibrates to confirm shutdown.

I am facing the same issue..the power button isnt working.
Hence i cannot restart/unlock /power off my phone.
Is there any alternative?
Please help ASAP.

Press volume buttons and plug in the charger. Phone will start in recovery mode. Select normal and your phone will start.
Once your phone is running, download power to volume button app to unlock the phone using volume button.
