[Q] Power button becoming recessed.

is anyone else having this problem, my dinc is one of the originals got it the day it came out, any way after all this time the power button doesn't quite have a spring in its step if you will lol. its becoming more and more recessed as if its failing and not as easy to press as it use to be. i have to really push on it. any fixes?

There are apps in the market to shut the phone down and you can make the trackpad wake it. However it usually takes a few pushes to wake.

I am beginning to notice this as well, but I can't quite tell (through my silicon case) if the button is actually failing to spring back or becoming mildly obstructed from doing so. 95% of the time it's fine and springs back with the same strength it always has, though, so I'm thinking it's the latter.

I use CM to wake with the trackball. It wakes 100% while charging, but only 1/3 of the time on battery.

I suffer from the same affliction. SURGEON GENERAL'S WARNING: Excessive flashing may lead to hairy palms and blindness!!
I have flashed so many ROM's, kernels and themes that my power button is slowly disappearing below the surface.
I am going to tell my wife: "See honey; I need a new phone 'cause my power button is busted!"

Haha, I feel like I might have to use this excuse too. Seems like a valid point.

i wonder if you can take those screws out in the back and see if theres any way to like mod it or fix it lol i guess ill wait for it to be fubar

Mine is also recessing. My protip is to grow your fingernail out and use that to press it. ;]

Mine just did this last week, I don't find it a bother though. Seems like just normal wear and tear, the button does get pressed countless times throughout the day.
I used a friends dinc and theirs was almost flush with the rest of the phone

Unresponsive Touch Screen & Case "clicking" sound

Well, I didn't wanted to create two threads so I merged my two questions into a single thread instead.
1st, to my notice whilst playing games(tested on inotia 3, destinia), there are several occasions whereby the touch screen would not work(my character is not attacking so I know its not working) then after 2 - 4 seconds then it would work again.
Is there any solutions to this problem?
p/s: HTC Gestures is disabled btw.
2nd, I noticed a "clicking" sound when I press the bottom part of my One X. I am okay with the sound but will it lead to any possible defects in the future?

I get both these issues, the clicking is more noticeable when typing and is only happening in certain,areas

I had already done these from day 1, but its still happening(except that I enabled usb debugging).

most likely the clicking is causing the rattle sound from the camera
no reason to worry

the sound comes from the specific area(it happens at all sides of the phone) that I pressed so I think its not the camera?

none of this may help, but my brother put a screen protector over his GS II and it wasn't as responsive as mine was.
but touching the screen shouldn't make a clicking noise unless it's the game sounds. you are either pressing too hard or you need a new phone before the whole thing comes apart.

Mine wasn't on screen protector, still naked. I am touching the case of the phone(the sides, the exterior part) that produced the sound.
p/s: the 1st and 2nd are two different questions, not related at all

I've noticed my HOX screen becomes unresponsive quite often, usually I have to press the power button to knock the screen off, then press it again and unlock but 9 times out of 10 it goofs up the game I'm playing. Happens a lot on Angry Birds.
So much for this being HTC's flagship device, so far I've been nothing but disappointed with it and its ridiculous manufacturing faults (also suffering from flickering screen, crap signal etc.)

Mine is the same. It's not what you would except from a flagship phone, but I can live with it I guess

Yeah, and since my country's currency is not as high as USD, so the price of this phone is elevated by a bigger margin(so I need to fork out more money to buy it) so it kinda disappoints me though

but what I am more concerned is that,
1. Is there a fix for the unresponsive touch screen?
2. Do I need to go for an exchange for the case "clicking" sound?
p/s: I am on the OTA 1.2.8 Asia Region

1. Probably not until kernel source is released.
2. Yes, mine doesn't click at all.

For the 2nd one, for some weird reason, after I had pressed it for many times, the screen doesn't have that sound anymore

Now you mention it I remember seeing somewhere that the cases on some one x's weren't pushed in properly and the solution was to press down hard on a certain spot and it would click into place, that's probably what you just did. I will see if I can find the thread.

oh, there's only slight sound btw. And for a weird reason, after I pressed it, one side of the screen flex is gone, leaving the lower left hand side still intact.

yeah but probably you should still trade it in. No problem with responsiveness of touchscreen on any I had

Uhm, mine is absolutely not clicking and I don't have any touchscreen problem.
Perhaps it happens only on some applications?

Well, did a factory reset but I can't still determine whether it has problems or not as the unresponsiveness occurs randomly

Not really sure about that, since it occurs once in a while

Mine is ALWAYS unresponsive when plugged in, right pain in the arse. Likely software though hopefully they'll fix in next ota

unlock/power button

hi guys just recently my one x started playing me up. when i press power button to unlock it dont always unlock the screen, sometimes takes few presses, anybody else found this issue?
ive done a reset on phone to

Yes, I believe it responds differently depending on which side you press it from. If your finger is coming from the back of the phone and is not sufficiently strong, it sometimes does not register a press (my guss is because it is sloped). But whenever I do a direct strong press, it always responds.

It's possible that the drop could of broke it as you could of cracked the housing for the button slightly and continued use of the button over time the crack got bigger and pushed the button further in the phone, by dropping it you may of reduced the fair wear and tear of the phone.

i didnt wanna hear this!!

weird tho it only happens if the phones been left alone for a while, if i lock then unlock straight away its fine its when i leave it theres a issue

Mine sometimes does that too. But not consistent though. I assume it's because I'm on a fresh Jelly Bean. Hopefully the latest build would fix this.
I did thought it might have something to do with the button being in an angle also.

just thought i would mention that i became concerned about basic wear and tear on my power button eventually destroying it, so i tried an app called ultimate on off in the play store. it actually works pretty well, but of course if you want to do a reset or take a screenshot, you do have to use the power button. otherwise, i don't touch that button any more.

after posting about the screen unlock issue. my one x developed massive screen flicker issues screen was hoping all over the place and it was almost like it looked dissovled in places. its gone back to repair,. just hop htc dnt c the little mark and refuse me, although the vodafone paperwork says in perfect condition!!!

Hey dan, it sounds exactly like the problem I've had with my HOX. At first the unlock button did not always respond and then the UI started acting up, flying all over the screen and distort and stuff and finally it just didnt turn on at all anymore.
They HTC lady I contacted said it was hardware related and I highly doubt it has anything to do with you dropping the phone once.

I had this problem with a custom kernel. The phone entered something called deep sleep if i recall correctly. This made me press the power button multiple times before it would wake, but only if the phone hadn't been used for a while.

its all new and i suppose we have to accept some initial teething issues, but my desire never did!

I had this issue and it seems to me that it actually is the blank screen of death issue

It sometimes happen to me when you try to unlock my phone right after you lock it (pressing the lock button to lock the screen then pressing the lock button to unlock). I don't know if its the same issue that you are having though.

My power button is extremely weak. almost no travel at all.. unfortunately my friends HOX is decent movement so i guess mine is just spanked

Did you meant Awesome On Off? I just tried it and so far so good. Its not perfect but it works for now. I guess its pretty cool how the phone automatically turns on when you tilt it at a certain angel.
Sent from my HTC One X using xda app-developers app

when it happened to me, to ensure it wasn't the power/lock button, I installed a kernel with sweep to wake, and when I tried sweeping to wake, the problem repeated itself.
maybe you guys could try that to differentiate between a problem in the display or the actual button. That is...if you're rooted.
Otherwise, you might as well take it to the repair

so apparently vodafone have "exchanged" my phone whether that means new or refurb time will tell!!

Volume Button

I've noticed that my volume button is not level, it seems to be pushed in more at the bottom. I'm worried that this may caused some issue later on. Can anyone else confirm if their button is like this or is it a defect. I still have time to exchange it if necessary.

My phone has the same thing - it seems like it's manufactured that way. Even a few people stated that when putting on a case, that one button feels more tactile than the other. As long as I can control both buttons without difficulty, I'm okay with it.

Cool thanks for the reply.

yea, mine has it too

Display at T-Mobile was like that. Seems common.

While it seems like it may be common it bugged the hell out of me so I took it to T-Mobile and they replace it with a new phone and this one does not have this issue. I will see after some use if it happens again.

Does anybody else's 7x rattle when tapped on the back of the device?

I've had my Honor 7X for 2 weeks now, and everything is working great! But whenever I tap or knock lightly on the back of the device around the upper half, particularly near the fingerprint scanner and camera, I can hear something rattling inside. I don't think anything is loose because when I shake the device up/down, sideways, there's no rattling sound. It's only when I tap or knock on the back towards the top. My camera and fingerprint scanner work no problem. Should I be concerned or is this normal? Thanks!

Volume or power buttons are the likely cause, they might have come loose. My Honor 7x is not having this issue, but it was common on the Nexus 5

Broooo I have the same problem as you, only saw this post now. I don't know if it supposed to be there or not.

Mine does this too, I already replaced my 7X twice and I still have the rattle. Seems to be normal.

It's coming from the power button for you? Mine is coming from around the top half of the back of the phone, around the camera area. Tried to get a local repair shop to open it up and look at it but they wanted to charge me 15$ lol

I'm not sure if it's exactly the power button. I haven't been able to tell exactly where it is coming from, definitely the top half. The buttons just seem like they would be the loosest things to make a noise like that. And yeah $15 just to open it I'm good lol.

Both of my 7x's rattled around the top half near the camera as well since I got them. My power and volume buttons are tight and not moving around. Some other brands have phones that do the same thing with the rattle near the camera, so I guess it's just the camera module moving around a little bit. As long as everything is working normal, I guess it's nothing to worry about!
