power button

The button after 2 weeks seems like it got hard to press like its Digg in anyone having this problem

I have had the phone for a while and I haven't had that issue .. you sure you haven't dropped it ? or something else that might have cause it to jammed ?

It works it just doesn't always click

Well here is a funny thing that happened to me I got case for it and then after a while I got the problem you had but it's an easy fix .. Take off the back cover get something like a pair of tweezers and grab the button pull it up click on it few times and voila FIXED.

I bought the gel type Verizon case with the phone so it's been in that since day 1 and I have such a problem with my power button I actually use a widget on my home screen so I don't have to push it to put the phone to sleep. I'm past my 14 days and I don't want a refurb, I think my phone has a problem but as long as it works, it works. so. I compared to my inc1 with the same gel type case and it's amazing how much harder the inc2 is. oh well love the phone.

Is it that shiny gel type case? That's the only one I could find. I notice in the case the button is hard to push. But this is hardware version 0001 lol we all know how that goes.

that case has a technical bulletin out on it for the issues with the power button, bring it to your store asking for a refund/exchange.

I'm going to try and get a refund for that gel case... I just picked up a to part incipio case at the Verizon store and I love it!, I can actually use the power button again. Hopefully they refund that gel case without a reciept. That was the worst $20 I ever spent.

D3O case VIDEO review

Alright guys, I got this case as its been popular in the comunity and wanted to give it a try...this case is absolutely gorgeous...looks great, feels great and seems to be one of the most protective cases out there that lets you keep the slick look of the device BUT the bad outweights the good... my main concern were the buttons..I got into a couple of rage moments and i believe I developed new muscles in my thumb from trying to press the on/off screen.
Watch the video and make your own decision
Hope this helps you guys!

Just commented on your other video haha. You just go out and buy a million cases? Haha. But if you put a piece of paper where the volume buttons and where the power button is. It will help out making them easier to press. Just fyi

I have this case and with extended use the button areas do get softer.
Quality is top notch. And in terms of slipperyness.. its not as bad as glossy cases but definitely does not stick like rubber. This is actually a good thing because when its in your pocket it glides of easy.
Sent from my SGH-T989

yes..its impossible to disagree that the quality is just amazing..cant match it at all ,and the look is just plain great..but for the price tag I really expected a little more R&D and not having to do work arounds to use them comfortably

haha! negative, I get them as gifts or people send them to me to review them and to write an honest opinion..thats why you dont see me lying about the case hehe.
Yeah the paper thingy does work ,but my point was like after normal people (not us phone junkies) get the case, they have to do something else to make it work. And after paying 35 dollars thats just isnt fair . Now if people picked them up for free or shipping only..it hella worth it
I wish they come with a revision because if they do That will be the case i would be sporting for good

Despite the quirks, I can say that the case works. I was climbing stairs in an apartment complex, and my phone covered with this case, fell out of my pocket and dropped about 12 feet in height. Whew.. Thank goodness for this case, it survived... Very happy that I spent money on this case.

thats a mortal drop dude!!!! im glad the phone survived! yeah its a great protective case...again if they fix that little issue it ll b a winner for sure!

I tried the paper thing and three paper would move out of place or just keep the button down.could someone put up a video of how to "mod" this case

and lets send it to D3o themselves hehehe

I got the all black one, and of course was before this video was posted...
What I ended up doing was taking an exacto blade and cutting along the wide parts of the buttons near where the mold for each one starts. The buttons now press with ease and the cuts are not visible.
I tried the deal with the paper under the buttons first, but it made the buttons too easy to press, they phone kept getting turned on in my pocket.

how easy was cutting around?

cutting through was easy, you just don't want to cut all the way around the button.
You only cut the longest sides of the buttons. There was an illustration somewhere in regards to the same thing.

I love this case! I have the 2 tone black back and gray front. This may sound crazy, but I'm thinking about taking it to a skate shop and having grip tape installed on the back part.

Nice review, a bit long though to make your point. I have this case and its really nice. I personally love it. I don't mind the button issue though, I have adapted. It does get a bit annoying at times, but that's only when flashing Roms in CWM. I feel perfectly safe and not afraid to drop my phone. I feel the more careless I am the less I tend to drop it. I bought mine online for $14 so it was a great deal.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?

Usually my reviews are the same length and I try to attack the same points so I can have uniformity.
I love the case and after modding it it def went up in my book however the average Joe user won't know how to mod the case

Got my d30 case a couple months ago for 5 bucks, i dont use it anymore more but it developed a crack in the back of the case and yeah buttons were kinda hard to press but you get used to it

ive also had the case since basically it came out and it has also developed multiple cracks on the back. one runs from the usb port up about an inch, and others are where the buttons are, though smaller. this might be from taking it off and on every once in a while.
sighs. i have a spare one in black though, but i like this white one.

I have had mine now for 3 weeks and I love the case and hate the buttons. I am going to try the mod and see if that helps. The buttons are the only bad thing about this case.

Does sprint repair the volume rocker?

Will they my bottom volume button really acts up like if its out the tpu case itll act fine but with the case on I ress the bottom button and it will even turn the device up and sometimes it feels as if its not clicky as the top one so is it rail easy to take into a sprint store for a simple fix?

Are you sure it's not the case causing the problem? Kinda sounds like it from what I am reading but in any event if you have insurance and they cant fix it they will replace it for 100. If you do not have insurance they will replace it for 35 unless they think it is something you did to the phone like dropping it. That is why the insurance is so important because even if it is user error they will replace it. Like a cracked screen, water damage etc..

Well I have two different style TPU cases and the bottom volume button is just not as clicky and sometimes it feels like its stuck but if I take it.out the case its fine what gives?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

With the case on,,, it sometimes won't work. With the case off,, it works fine.
Should I repeat that? Case on, no workie. Case off, works fine.
I would say its the case. Case on, it won't work. Case off,, it works fine.
The only difference of when it works or not is if the case is on or not.
Yeah, my money would be on the case.

I have tried 3 different tpu case and have a trident aegis, the tridwnt is perfect for volume and the tpu cases all are difficult to change

I'm a Sprint tech: if you have insurance, there would be no fee to look at/repair the phone, nor would there be one to replace it. However, it would only be replaced if it were deemed to be an actual hardware issue; since you said it works fine without a case, I would have to presume the case is causing the majority of the issue. A nicer tech would likely put a different volume button or back housing on the phone to see if that helps but they would be under no obligation to do so.
Hope that helps... Might as well call your store, explain the issue and see what they can do!

What happened to IR remote?

Isn't the one supposed to have infrared remote built in or am I mistaken?

It is the app is called TV. There is a bunch of configuration but it will let you record the IR blasts from remotes and then control those devices. I have mine configured to control the projector in my classroom (I'm a teacher...not a clever and slightly evil student).

Cool, thank you

Yeah, it's built right into the Power Button. Which I think is quite nice (aesthetically). My only gripe with it is that none of the cases will cover this giving you a little more button response like the volume buttons.

I think if you covered the IR blaster, it wouldn't work. That's the whole point. However, I don't think that applies with transparent cases. I only have a basic understanding of how IR works.

Yeah, that's what I was getting at.
I have a transparent TPU case that's still cut out, I've learned to live with it. I just like having more button response that most HTC phones give you. That's one of the reason I never LOVED the DNA until I got the specific case I had.
Otherwise, I love my phone :good:

I have the Mophie battery case. It covers the power button, makes it easier to press and the IR still works with it.

Jay how has your experience been with the mophie overall?

That's because the power button allows the IR to pass through it.
Its such a big case though. Is it worth it?

Ordered it from Amazon a day or two before I got the phone. It arrived the day I got the phone, so I've only had it for the weekend.
It's designed well, a section of the top pulls off and the phone slides into the bottom with a snug fit. There's a reassuring snap when putting the the top back on and I have to use both hands to take it apart, so I'm not concerned about it opening on its own. And it's not so tight to the point of worrying about breaking the phone trying to get it out of the case. It's a comfortable medium.
There is a small lip around the edge of the screen, but it doesn't interfere with me using programs with side swipe gestures like SwipePad, or accessing all the keys on the on-screen keyboard.
The buttons are significantly easier to find and press than on the phone itself. As mentioned, the power button is translucent allowing the IR commands to still pass through it.
My previous phone was the Evo 4g lte with the seidio battery case. Laying the two phones on a flat surface, they are about the same thickness, but the Mophie case it's noticeably longer. I work at a plant an my phone lives in the pocket of my FR shirt, so the size doesn't really bother me.
Receiving the case on the weekend, I haven't had a chance it test the battery yet. I don't have the best reception at the plant, I'm usually in the yellow around 3:30 pm because the radio is working so hard trying to find and keep a signal. I will report back in a few days with the results.
On the back of the case, there's a button that when pressed, lights up 4 white leds to indicate how much charge is left in the battery case. It takes a little effort to press the button, and you have to hold it in for a small period of time, so I'm not worried about anything in my pocket setting it off.
There's a switch to turn the charging on or off, it is flush with the case, but I don't have any issue moving the switch despite having practically no fingernails. There is also a bit of resistance to toggle it.
The external micro usb port works well for days pass through. I would often have issues with the Seidio case appearing as a "unknown device" when I plugged it in, and would have to remove the case in order to transfer. No issues with the Mophie case.
Because of the length, letting the bottom rest in your palm while using the phone can make it difficult to access the top of the phone or the notification bar. Wrapping fingers around the back and letting the bottom hang out still lets more access the majority of the phone.
Hope this answers anything you had questions about, let me know if there is anything else.

Expensive case... Though from the looks of it you get what you pay for without a doubt.

It isn't cheap, but I'd rather pay the money for this case with functionality than than having to order a cheap case with no functionality multiple times because it keeps breaking.

I reviewed it last month.

When I get paid this case is mine...

I have a UAG case that I got off amazon. It seems like it was designed with the IR device in mind, because there is a small cut out in the power button cover.

Spigen ultra-hybrid case flaw.

anyone using the spigen ultra- hybrid case? Spigen make good product and the case is good but i cant help but be irritated because of the volume going up or down when holding the device in landscape mode. Very little pressure from the thumb is enough to cause the volume keys to be touched and hence volume changes .Thinking about returning them now. anyone notice the same issue?

Yes I know, it is even worse with slim armor. But at least they want to revise the slim armor. Didn't hear about the ultra hybrid though.

couldnt agree more ..seen how much they charge for the protectors?? may be good but certainly overpriced

Spigen's customer service is abysmal.
They didn't respond to my lost package claim. So I contacted Amazon this morning to have them contact Spigen on my behalf. Still haven't heard back. Just terrible.
I ordered on Oct 31 as soon as I placed my N5 order. I've had the N5 for a week now, and Spigen who claim to have shipped on Nov. 1, nothing

I've had the same issue from the UK! But I had to order on amazon from a company called 'keep in case'. Over a week since I ordered and still no sign of it. HATE using my phone without a case!

I'm not a big fan of this case either - buttons are terrible, and as you say the volume ones keep pressing with almost no pressure.
It also adds a lot of bulk especially to the width
I still however prefer having a case to not having one at all so will keep it on until the official case is released.

I just received my Ultra Hybrid case today and the power/volume buttons are way too sensitive. It just takes a light tap to activate them. I engaged my power button so many times just by holding the phone in my hand with the case on. I waited almost two weeks to receive it and what a disappointment this is. IO know the buttons will be pressed while the phone is in my pocket and it will probably be powered off more than once due to a long press of the power button.
I'm going to contact their customer service and see what happens. I ordered from Amazon.ca

I guess I was lucky with my hybrid case, I haven't had any issues with the buttons like you guys.

Too sensitive? Is it not the same sensitivity has hitting the button naked, since mechanically the case ONLY covers the button. I think what you guys are complaining about is that its easier to hit the button because the button area on the case is much bigger.
I see it as working as intended. If you have not noticed, the buttons are flush. Some people like flush buttons. Gives it a clean feel. However, usually that makes the buttons, in their original shape, harder to press, thus the bigger area was created.

No, the button sensitivity is increased with the case on. Not just because it has a wider contact area. If you look inside the button area in the case you'll notice they are protruding inwards to reach the buttons. I believe the protrusion is too long and is the reason for the increased sensitivity.
