Fast click on power on

Hello,
I saw that the phone is switched off when I press the power button very quickly after a few seconds turns on. This for me is very annoying, if I have the phone in my pocket sometimes turns on probably because Touch inside the power button. It is possible to change to having to press for a few seconds and not for 1/10 second ?

it is not possible ?

Why is this a problem? The screen will auto switch off again in 15 seconds if still locked.

Becouse i want turn off the phone.

You want it totally switched off? Hold down the power button and a menu pops up on the screen, switch if off from there.
There is no way to stop the power button waking up the device when it is "standby", that's its purpose, I can't imagine anything more annoying than having to hold down the button just to check my phone

I don't see how you guys don't understand his question.
He says that it is annoying that when you turn the phone off (for X reason) and put it in your pocket, the fact that it only takes a slight touch of the power button to turn the phone on means it involuntarily turns itself on in his pocket. He wantsto know whether it is possible to make it so you have to press a long time on the power button in order to turn the power on, so that if the power buton is only pressed for a second, nothing happens.
I really wish people tried to actually read questions on forums.

This is an important question for all that travel by air.
to avoid that during the take off or the landing the desire turn on inadvertently

My problem was born in the cinema when I turned off the phone and put it in my pocket. After a few seconds I heard the sound of ignition, so I switched off again, then yet again ... up when I removed the sound, while other people looked at me in a mole ..
It would be nice if you could choose to press the button for 2-3 seconds before it turn on, to prevent accidental starting

Totally agree. I had the same issue on the plane the other day. I had powered it off but during take off it powered itself on in my pocket. I used to have an iPhone and it at least required you to hold the power button down for a few seconds before it turned on.

I really wish people took the time to actually read the reply and accept that sometimes when the OP is in broken english it is misses details, before jumping in to criticise others while contributing nothing of value to the thread.
If you reckoned it was easy to understand the question, why have you offered no actual answer or constructive advice?
If you assume that the question is... can I set the phone so that it requires a long-press of the power button to switch it on when it is completely powered off... the answer is... No, you can't. Perhaps there is scope for this in a modded firmware if you root the device. I suggest you email HTC support to suggest this an an enhancement in a future update to the phone.

Why don't you try this FlexiSheild Case Cover, I purchased one and it has a very robust construction flexible but not sloppy like the silicone ones.
I have found that to turn the phone on or from standby you have firmly press the on button you cannot turn it on by simply sweeping your finger over the button it also offers a lot of protection to the phone and has some rubbery coating on the back to stop the phone slipping out of your hand.
I believe this will elimenate your false switch on of the phone

[Q] power button issue?

Hi all,
does anyone sometimes have to press the power button (when phone is completely turned off) twice (2 presses to turn on) sometimes?...
so just to confirm
- handset is off
- push power button once (sometimes doesnt come on
- push for second time (and powers up)
im defiantly pushing for long enough
iv have no issues with the button at all when in the UI or when locking/unlocking display
iv done a few tests where i have turned off. then went to switch on, with the same pressure and sometimes it starts with one, sometimes it starts with two presses,
do u think this is a fault? anyone experience this? normal?
just checking...
thanks heaps!

I had the opposite on my first one. When I pressed the power button to turn screen off, the screen went black for 1 sec and jumped back on lock screen.

I don't think many people would turn their phone completely off so haven't found the issue.
When you power off what will be happening is the phone is off as much as it can be, but these buttons are soft off, the battery is still connected and some power must be drawn to run the power circuitry to detect the button being pressed again to signal to power back up the phone, in the same way when you turn your TV off by the remote, power is still drawn to run the remote sensor on the TV.
To keep the drain on the battery as low as possible so the battery isn't completely discharged over months of storage I suspect the power chip waiting for the on signal again is only sampling every so often to save power so it can be in super deep sleep state. This means depending on where in this cycle you are when you press the power button it might seem like it isn't responding, so typically you have to leave it depressed long enough for it to be "seen".
The better option is to just to put your phone into flight mode if you don't want to be disturbed or want the phone off. I do this overnight and lose no battery power by the morning, so it is as good as off. You can add a button to your home screen to do this quickly, widgets are included already for that.

Mine does the same thing.. Sometimes it does it with waking up from sleep also.

[Q] Screen not starting up for power button

Hi,
I started to get a weird problem since last week. I've had this phone for about 3 months now and never had any problem like this.
It all started one morning when I wanted to stop phone alarm. The alarm was going off but the screen was black. I pressed the power button to wake up, but it was still black. After couple of times pressing the power button the screen came up. First it was not that often but the situation started to get worse. It came to that I can sometimes cannot turn it on for a long period of time. I need to keep pressing power button, volume buttons and eventually it will come up.
This is what I've found so far:
1) When the power button is pressed, although the screen doesn't start up, I can see the three buttons at the bottom lighting up. So it is not a problem of the power button.
2) When the power button is pressed, although the screen doesn't power up, the screen seems responsive. I can feel the vibrations when I tap (I have a startup password)
3) When the phone is connected to a power supply, screen always starts up without a problem.
4) Screen will start up more frequently when the batter power is high.
It seems as though there is a connection between batters power and the screen not starting up. But then again, once the screen comes up (after not starting up), then it works fine, until I turn the screen off.
Has anybody experienced anything like this before?
I did a factory reset thinking it might be some application I installed but it didnt help.
I had to send this phone once to repair the speaker and cost more than $80 just for courier. I don't want to spend another to get this fixed.
Thanks.

I have this problem or a problem very close to this. I have a HTC One X (international version). I'm running the latest version and updates and the problem has existed for at least the last two updates.
Android Version 4.1.1
HTC Sense version 4+
Software number 3.18.401.1
I have the screen lock pattern turned on.
Sometimes when I hit the power button, the phone does not turn on and so I press it again and only after a third press does the phone turn on. I then unlock the phone and use as normal. So, several times per day I have to press the power button three times before the phone turns on. But other times I press the power button once and it turns on straight away. I've just turned the pattern unlock off to see if this makes any difference. I'll start to record the exact details of when I experience this and see if we can work out a common cause.
Hopefully if enough people report this problem then they can send out an update to fix this problem.

I'm pretty sure this is a hardware issue. I bought mine from Expansys and sent it back to them for repair. It's been more than a month and they say they're still reparing it.
In my case it was impossible for me to start the screen up with power button no matter how much I pressed it. The only thing that worked for me was to press the back of the phone just below the camera. So it seems like a hardware issue. But on the other hand, at times when I can't get the screen turned on no matter what I do, I'd turn the phone off and start again and the thing would start up like nothing happened. So while I'm pretty sure it is a HW issue, I'm not sure how a power restart makes it work.

For me I don't think that this is a hardware problem as it only started happening once I did the big upgrade from 4.0 to 4.1 and then it follows a specific pattern. That is three power button presses will always turn it on. Less frequently I also get a problem where the power button turns on the three lights on the soft buttons but the screen remains black. I then hit the power button to turn it off, and again to turn it on and the phone is back to normal again.
Is yours an international version? I bought mine an international version and had it shipped to Australia.

solved?
Hi - did anyone ever solve this? This is happening to me with my HTC desire X after having had the screen repaired, so I think it is hardware related, but the shop doesn't know how to fix it! My screen also does not turn back on when I want to end a phone call and pull the phone away from my face anymore. These problems seem related as they started at the same time. I would be grateful for help!

[Q] Screen doesn't turn on!

Dears, help me please!
I have my nexus 7 for 3 months. It was working pretty fine before... BUT... last thursday I left it charging overnight, I woke up turned the tablet alarme off and put it on a backpack to travel.
When I tried to turn it on the screen just did nothing!! The strange thing is: when I got mail it notifies me... the pulse light is active but the screen doesn't show.
I tried to charge it, hold the power button, hold the power + volume down buttons and nothing solved.
Anyone has/had the same problem?

I have the same problem. It happened a couple times already but I could not figure out why it happens. When I push the power button long enough it just restarts. It happens only when its laying around a couple hours like over night.

The tablet returned from the repair.
It seems like they changed the mainboard. Sadly there was something behind the camera glas and there were scratches on the screen. So they had to send it in again. Then they also changed the screen. All this took about 3 weeks.
I suggest claim for repair its definitely a hardware issue. Now my Nexus is running flawless and I am waiting for the Lollipop update.

You could also just try holding volume down + power for about 30 seconds. I've had a couple of freezes before where holding down the power button did nothing. But, holding down power + volume down worked. This is assuming you weren't flashing or doing something else, this is only if you were using the tablet as normal and it just suddenly won't turn on.

Why oh why can my phone be rebooted when pwr button held down.

Another stupid idea/option, espevially when the pwr button is exactly where a right handed person has their thumb when holding the phone.
Or a setting that lets me change the reboot delay time to 40 seconds or more

Since the battery is non-removable, this is the only way to reset the phone if it locks up without waiting for the battery to run dry.

Thank god for that if the phone freezes or anything. It's possible for a good reason.
