Been starting to experience poor response to my power button waking the phone and also on turning the screen off. I thought maybe it was sticking and had buildup around it. I removed the screen and tried my best to clean out around and behind the button. Did not notice any improvement. Often times it registers like a long hold and prompts the shut-down restart screen.
Are others experiencing or had similar response? Are these buttons replaceable?
Don't know about replaceability, but I rarely ever used my power button. You can work around it in daily use using the FP sensor for both screen on and screen off.

Would it be possible to configure our Rhodiums to wake from sleep mode upon a quick double tap on the screen? If possible it could be set that only a double tap (one tap followed by another no longer than half a second later for example) would wake the device to ensure accidental knocks in our pocket wouldn't wake it.
Any ideas?
Thanks
anyone any ideas?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say this isn't possible without seriously jeapordizing battery life, so it wouldn't be something plausible.
Consider that what you're asking means your device will always have to monitor the screen and thus never enter standby mode.
Perhaps you should look into applying the registry fix that will wake your device on any key press (not just the power button). Maybe that will work for you as well, while still letting your device go into standby.
What is wrong with the built-in power button again?
I would like that also (different button to turn on). With the diamond the centre round button would be a better button to turn on the pda than the current power button (which is a little too far recessed for my liking) The centre button is larger but recessed also which would stop accidently turning in on in your pocket.

yeah thats a fair point, ddn't think too much about the implications of it having to perhaps always be awake!

Nothing wrong with the power button, just thought itd be a cool feature to be able to do that, but ill stick with whats best!
I think HTC's placement of the power button is perfect. I've been using smartphones and PDAs for a while and that's just the natural spot I EXPECT a power button to be. In fact with my breif stay with a Blackjack II I kept hitting the power button to dim the screen, which on that phone would actually turn it off, like off off.
And as stated above, when your phone goes into standby, the screen turns off, it can't detect anything. In order to keep the sensor on, you would be draining power when your phone really shouldn't.
I'll throw my coin in the hat of "silly idea"
My first Tilt 2, which had a dud microphone, the power button was fine.. It was recessed but easily pressed. My current Tilt 2 I have to press holding the phone longwise.. if I'm holding the phone on the sides I can't press the power button... I'm thinking the screen moves slightly more or the button is more recessed. It's kind of annoying.
Personally I'd also like not have to use the power button all the time myself, although I wouldn't want to tap to do it.. One of the four hardware buttons would be just fine.
Yes, I know sliding and removing the stlyus turn it on too, neither thing I do often.
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.

Hello! Okay short and simple. Did a new screen replacement. Using the touch screen all of a sudden my touches don't register. Only the menu and back buttons but nothing happens. Than if I hit the power button once to turn the phone to sleep mode and wake it again I can unlock my phone and start off where I left off when it froze. Anyone have this problem and know what it is?

I have the same issue. Had the glass replaced and now the screen becomes unresponsive, hit power to sleep and back and it starts working again. Did you find a solution???
Was just the glass replaced, or was it the entire assembly?
If it was just the glass, was LOCA used?
If no loca was used (only the double sided boarder tape), the digitizer may be building up a static charge interfering with its function.
If loca was used, it may be a partially botched repair.

Sometimes when I press my power button, wanting to power off the display, I instead get the lock screen. Has anyone else noticed this?
Start position is just the home screen.
Found another thread with similar issue but in that case it's a HTC EVO.

Is it possible that the power button is registering 2 presses, instead of 1?
What if you start with the phone turned off, then press the power button? Does it turn on, then off again?
I'm never able to reproduce it at will but I suspect you are right.
Sometimes the press on the power button isn't registered at all so I suspect it's a hardware issue.
Have noticed it since day one and I have had the phone for a month now.

Got it back from LG authorized service center now. New power button and new camera glass (that was another issue I had).
All OK, it was a hardware issue!
I've been using the 5T for a while and I noticed that whenever I pull the phone out of my pocket and immediately press the power button to wake the screen, there would be a noticeable lag of about 1 second before the screen turns on. Sometimes, the screen doesn't even turn on. I suspect that this has to do with the light sensor as it only happens when I pull the phone out of my pocket and not when it is sitting on the table. Does anyone have any solution to this?
