Hi,
My fingers mistakenly hits the power button constantly and it turns off the phone.
Is there a way to change the settings for the power button? For example change it to a long click or a double click to turn off phone?
Thanks

lol I had the same problem for the first week, got used to it.
My power button is very sensitive also. Sometimes while walking with my phone in my jacket pocket the power button gets bumped and my phone gets turned on. I use the pattern lock feature so I don't have to worry about "pocket dialing" but I still don't like the idea.. I have my screen time set for ten minutes. I don't want my screen on for no reason at all.. I wish they made the power button less sensitive.
I got the Body Glove case from the Sprint store and this has helped hide the power button from me hitting it.

guys
when i press the right side button to turn off the screen, it also locks it forcing me to key in the PIN even if i need to use the phone after a minute
Any app to help with that? Basically turn off the screen but don't lock the phone?
Thanks
Turn off security in settings, either slide or off is what your looking for

It depends on exactly what you are looking for but you can change the amount of time the screen has to be off before requiring a pin. I believe if you go into security settings you can put the screen off time at 30 min before requiring a pin or any other security for that matter.

If I'm not mistaken, that only affects the time out sleep state. If you manually press the side button to turn the screen off it locks immediately. It'd be nice for this not to happen.
I use widgetsoid. It allows you to toggle the lock screen on and off as you need it.

If you look you have the option 'Power button instantly locks' as well as a sleep lock timeout setting.

True, so I believe if the op didn't want his phone to lock instantly he would have to remove the checkmark on "Power button instantly locks" and then increase the sleep timeout for the pin lock.
I don't have 'Power Button Instantly Locks' ??
Sometimes when I use the power button to unlock the screen saver, the pattern lock screen is off center. It's so far off center I can't enter the pattern to unlock the phone. I have to press the power button twice to get a new pattern lock screen that is centered.
I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this with their phone. I've got Executive Assistant running under the lock screen.
happened to me a couple of time so I stopped using pattern unlock screen. Once it got to the point where it stuck there permanently until I rebooted the phone
Happened to me a lot after removing the phone from car dock mode. Usually had to reboot, hasn't happened at all since switching to CM10 nightlies.
happens to my wife and me many times. we just do what you said.
Im guessing its a known issue because it happens to me and a lot of people I know.

Happens to me too. The fix is simple though:
1) Press the Emergency Call button. It should still be in place
2) When you see the number pad, turn the phone to horizontal view so that the number pad moves.
3) Press "back", the lock pattern will be horizontal for a second and then it'll flip back to its correct place!
I also had this happen many times. I turned off the lock function.
Is this on stock?

If I get what you trying to say here, you can try button saviour(root), there is a screen off and other onscreen buttons features(back/home/menu/vol etc) that's quite handy too.
If thats an app bro sorry not the one im looking for..
Im looking for something to edit in the phone to make the screen off by pressing a custom button, e.i pressing the home twice and the screen is off. Press once and the screen is on.
The power button is too far, i mean my finger needs to jump there just to turn off the screen. If u get me bro..

umm i don't think there is a mod for such a particular and specific personal perference
There are tap to execute and similar app that make use of the Proximity sensor of the phone to wake up phone without having to press the power button.
Personally I only tried softpower.
Description
Turn screen OFF and turn screen ON without touch power button.
SoftPower will safe your physical power button by use Search button or notification to turn screen OFF(and lock) and use proximity sensor changing to turn screen ON.
Note:
-Proximity sensor on device is required for Turn ON function to work.
-To uninstall, do this first. Settings-> Locations & Security(or Security in ICS)-> Device Administrators then uncheck SoftPower.

ive been looking for this too, since ALL SCREEN OFF APPS dont make your phone go into deep sleep resulting into battery drain, only the physical power button can make you phone into deep sleep and auto idle i think, im looking for a shorcut not widget or app to mimic the physical power button so i can set it into gesture and alike to make my phone go into deep sleep
try cm10 fxp150, u can easily lock your screen from notification bar
If you install cm10 I'd recommend enabling the navigation bar and setting the back button long press to make your phone sleep. It's wonderful to use!

how you did that can you teach step by step?
At least while the phone is running, is there any way for me to disable the power button? I often watch something on the screen in landscape and I really hate how easy it is for that button to be pressed either locking the screen or bringing up the power menu. Since I can do all those things via software I am looking for a way to disable this button completely while the phone is running. It of course still needs to be able to turn the phone on but I dont think that can be changed.
I can't just disable the volume rocker instead as I use a flip case and this is the side it rests on.
Any ideas?
Installed Jedi XV12 a few days ago and have been loving it. Falling in love with my phone all over again.

Did anyone at HTC actually use this device? The power button is an absolute joke. 50% of the time I wind up messing with the volume on my way to turn the phone off and put it back in my pocket.
How do you guys sleep this thing? The nexus 5 buttons are so much better.

I would suggest you return it.
I press mine - it turns on. I press it again - it turns off.
Every time.

First I have a nexus5 also and there is no comparison on the buttons. They rattle when you shake it. Anyways maybe you have a bad device. I just set mine to hold home to turn screen off so I never even have to hit the button but my button works fine if I need it.

Indeed. I'm contemplating a return and sticking with either my moto x or nexus 5 so k won't be rooting it at the moment.
Its bizarre that they added motion gestures basically acknowledging the button isn't great, is there no off gesture?

I use Screen Off and Lock app found on the Play Store. Works great.

I will look into this. Seems odd HTC has an "on" method (acknowledging they need one in addition to the sleep button) but not an off button.

This is how mine works too.
--- OP, I used to do the same thing with my m7. After a couple weeks of use I stopped doing it.

Except sometimes, I long press the power button, then I get a short vibration & several options regarding resetting or powering down my phone. Thanks for confirming the presence of the other features tho! I am glad to see that the power button functions to start the device, as well as turn the display on & off. I am certainly happy to discover that the power buttons function didn't change just because HTC located it somewhere other than where LG located it!
Seriously, I also have a N5 (with ZERO button issues, rock solid), but I much prefer the HTC button placement. No accidentally turning the device off while just trying to adjust the volume with only a left hand available at the time.

Yeah, I actually prefer the button being in the top. I never really liked the power button on the side.
My hands aren't big either, if anything they're smaller than an average guy.
It just takes a small shift to turn it off with one hand, just being careful you don't press the volume buttons. Which became easy after a couple days of use for me.
