Is this a "thing"?
My Pixel XL is 3 days old. My power button is a bit stiff to press and barely registers a "click" when pressed. Volume buttons, on the other hand, are very snappy/clicky.
I was in Best Buy yesterday and saw the demo phone. Pwr button was also "stiff", but not nearly as stiff as mine. That button was clearly clicky.
Guessing this is a valid RMA issue, but was curious if a common issue.
Mine had this problem and after about 2 weeks of use it now clicks every time. But sometimes it makse a click sound before I even press it down, such as when first touching it or applying pressure to press it. So it bascailly makes an audible click twice now sometimes. I've seen this posted a few times. Poor design/QC...
Mine seems to work fine however it is a bit stiffer than most phones I have owned.

This is starting to worry me because I had this phone for more than a year and I like how once my 1 year warranty is over, my phone starts to break down. Anyone else know how to replace a failing power button?

Also, the most common form of failure of power buttons on HTC devices in my experience isn't the button itself - it's the little 'ribbon' thing which sits between the switch and the actuator.
It's usually that the ribbon has fallen out of place, become chewed etc. It's tucked in on both sides of the power button, but if one side has come out it can cause a hap-hazard button press.
I found this on the Nexus One, the Sensation and the Amaze. Power button is still good on my Inc 2, but I'd expect it'd be something similar.
Pulling off the actuator, and straightening/re-seating the ribbon should go a long way to restoring the feel of your power button. It's not a hard job, you just need a delicate touch
Hi all
Because the One X is quite a tall phone and has the power button on the top, I have noticed that when you're sat down it's quite easy to accidentally hold the power button down for a few seconds and cause a reboot - presumably the power button is pressing against a belt or hip, for example.
My real question here - is there any way to alter the reflexes of pressing the power button down, or increase the time it takes to cause the reset?
Also - has anyone else had the same thing happen? I'm thinking maybe, for practical purposes, the power button is better situated on the side of the phone when the dimensions get to this size...
Yeah, this happens to me.
Having the exact same problem, but with a much cheaper phone - a Samsung Pocket. Complete misdesign IMO and you wonder if the phone was field tested at all when you see things like this getting through - if a hard reboot with a hardware key combination is implemented then several buttons should be required to be held for the reboot to trigger. I just can't carry it in any pocket, will reboot several times a day.
Just ebayed a silicone bumper, hoping that cutting a hole in it where the power button is will make it recessed and that this will solve the problem. Maybe something similar is applicable to this One X phone.
I have the same problem, really annoying
would be interested too if there is a solution for this "problem"
Thanks for the replies guys - I suppose it's some consolation that it's not just me!
I'll let you know if I ever discover a "fix".
+1 Same happens to be. Are we sure it's just holding down the power button for to long and not a software problem causing reboots?

I originally thought the same thing, but when the only correlation I found was how tight my trousers were that sort of gave it away

Yeah, the sexier my ass, the more likely it happens.
there is a simple thing that people should realize. ..the position of the power button on the note 2 is awkward. .
.sometimes especially when you put the phone with the screen facing the thigh in the right side front pant pocket. .(especially my surgical scrubs)... the weight of the phone itself presses against the power button for few seconds and it reboots...
.I have noted this quite frequently and advice against putting the phone in the right side front pant pockets
Silly.... but true
scribbled from my note 2 (N7100)
I've also noticed this and it is annoying. We just have to get used to this phenomenon.

I know what you mean about the scrubs. The phone use to do it with mine but since i got a hard case, doesn't happen anymore

Yup. Solved mine with casing.

Haven't realize this until now
It does seem like it's in kind of an odd spot. So far there have been a few times where I've went to hit the button, but reached to high up on the phone.
The button does end up right between my index and middle finger when I'm holding it with my left hang though, so maybe that's what they were going for with the design. So far, I have had no issues with it in my pocket though. I don't ever wear scrubs either though.
Sleep / Wake Power Button Too Easy to Press Accidentally
This might be my biggest complaint about the Note 2... I love the phone overall, but that power button is TOO easy to press!
I pull up a photo and want to hand the phone to someone to look at it on that big, pretty screen, and as soon as they take hold of the phone, the volume slider pops up and/or the phone is put to sleep!! Very annoying.
I've heard about a Volume Rocker app that gives a confirmation to prevent accidental volume changes, but what about the Power Button? I'd love it if there was a tweak that maybe used a double-click to activate sleep/wake from the power button. I'm guessing this would require some type of rooted custom ROM??
I agree with what you have found.
I have had my phone do the same thing on many occasions
I dropped my S3 while on the treadmill and now the power button is really sensitive, it gets pressed just from holding it or brushing up against the side. I probably going to send it in because its been less than a year so its still under manufactures warranty.
In the mean time, I know I've used ROMs that have on screen buttons in options, I could use one of those, then would it be possible to map the physical home button to be the power button?

Googling "remap i747" be faster ...
I ended up just installing Illusion, amazing AOSP rom by the way, and it let me enable software buttons and disable the hardware ones. It worked great until I could get a replacement phone.
I bought used Sony Smartwatch 3 (I already had 1 and 2), but I'm wondering how the side "power" button is hard to press. It is a little loose, I can move with it a little bit. It doesn't do any sound or click or how to say it - simple it make no sound when I press it. Smartwatch 1 and 2 had harder buttons with some response (a "click sound" and I knew i pressed the button, on SW3 I don't know). Is it normal, or not? Should I send it to warranty service?
Normal not very good usage. it is the price for interchangeable band ....
