My power button is acting like its being pushed 2x every time i hit it. I turn my screen on and it turns it off. Is this a known issue? Lets hope not a hardware failure because of 1.5.

This happens to me as well. I don't think it's software, as it happens in recovery as well. I've accidentally formatted as a result.
Same. Not the format but came close to flashing a mod ghastly isn't supported by the phone. ****ty button design if you ask me. Volume rocker is a ***** to use. And the power is too sensitive and finicky
Hi all,
I have the same issue also. Anybody already resolved this issue? Thnx!
the og evo's power button and rockers were perfect. Pretty amazing that they made both worse for the 3d. That power button sometimes makes me want to switch phones. Awful. How that made it out of testing I have no idea.
Seems to have been a software problem. I get this problem only on certain tons.

Here's a reboot trick for anyone that's tired of pulling there battery when phone locks up
I know this trick works on the HTC EVO 3D and the HTC EVO 4G could possibly work for others well here's what you do hold the volume up , volume down , power , search button down all at same time phone will reboot if your quick enough you can hold volume down & power to get back to recovery options if this helps anyone just say thanks.
Fyi, holding down all those except the search button will still reboot it as well.

Mine works fine here. This is how I always learned to do it. Press both volumes and then the power button. Hold until it resets.

Yep you guys are right, it works without the search button. I wasn't holding it down long enough.

It will sometimes only seem to work of you start pressing volume down, then up and power and holding. This trick works if your phone has frozen as well.
Nice!

Nice tip. Thanks so much. I hate having to take off my case to pull the battery!

Discaimer: I'm apologizing in advance of this seems like a stupid question or post.
I noticed that my search button partly illuminates when I first turn on my phone if it's completely off. Once the phone is fully booted and my home screen comes on all of the other buttons light up properly as well as the search button.
It just seems a little odd, but isn't causing any problems. Anyone else have this? I'm just hoping it's not a sign of potential hardware problems. (Yes I have insurance but enjoy full root with hboot 1.4)

Mine too. I was always kinda curious about whether it was common or not, but it never really bothered me too much
Yes, its normal. They should have got that fixed before finalizing this model.
Via My HTC Evo 3D On The Now Network From Sprint.
Mine is the same way as well. It's a light leakage. If I use one of the kernels with dim LEDs, my buttons look like ass because of this. Most people can lower their value to 2 (in ..../button-backlight/currents), while I can only lower mine to 14 before it starts looking dumb.
Mine is most prominent when in recovery. Only time I notice it.

Cool, thanks for all the replies. Happy to know it's common.
By the way it's nice to see some fellow Evo/Hero guys in here. I recognize Leukay and Tailsthecat from one of those 2 forums. Don't know you guys personally but nice to see you in here. Actually I think I recognize Rydah803 and Ducky1131 too so good to see you all here.

I've noticed this too. It does make the phone look like crap when the LEDs are off.
It's light "bleed" from the screen to the search button. it most visible in recovery, probably because your screen is completely white and it's easy to see the white light bleed.
Kinda sad that HTC didn't fix this issue before releasing the phone.. Cheap internal build quality, perhaps?
I think it may be due to the fact that they used some sort of clear plastic to put together the inside. If you open the batterycover you can see what I'm talking about.

I got it too and my phone is a recently assembled device on one of the latest h boot builds. Doubt this will be fixed so i guess we live with it...
Same with me I thought only i have that issue.
Seems like HTC did a bad job in this area. I also have hardware build 0002 so I guess it's an issue with that build.

Hi, I'm considering trading my razr for a rezound (mainly due to form factor).
One issue that I've noticed on all of the display models I've tried is that the home key doesn't always recognize my touch. Sometimes it would take quite a few tries before it would vibrate and do anything... maybe holding it longer or pressing down helped, but I suspect I was imagining that part. The other soft keys seemed fine.
Does anybody know what I'm talking about? Is this a known issue? Is there just a trick to it? I didn't see it mentioned here previously, but I've experienced this at at least 3 different stores, so it's not just one bad device. Concerns me as this is quite a frequently necessary function. When you're demoing a phone and can't get it to go to the damn home screen, it's hard to convince yourself to commit to that phone for the next two years...

I've never had a problem either. Those demo phones get beat up sometimes, so I wouldn't go by that.
So out of no where my power button is being very strange. When I press it, it will turn on the automatically turn off I will if i press it again the screen will flash on and then off, it only does this every once in a while, but its very annoying.
At first I thought it was my rom but it does it in recovery as well, I will press the power button and acts as if I double.pressed the button.

My refurb that I received a couple of weeks ago does this as well. Very annoying. I have an upgrade available and the EVO LTE cant get here fast enough.
Add me to the list, mine has been doing it for months.
Same here! I always thought the power button was a little sensitive. I wasn't sure if it was a software issue or a design issue.
Glad to know I'm not alone..
Certainly a hardware issue. Have you seen the size of the power button without the battery cover on? If you press too hard on power often, the button may become super sensitive.
I don't know any solutions. I've experienced it, but rarely.
So if mine gets worse ill take it on for replacement
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Yay Im not alone! :O Got that issue too.
Mine too. Not rooted
Also when mine does this, 50% of the time the phone will end up rebooting before the screen says on
Power button had been a problem from the beginning, mine is so bad that it almost sits flush with the body and I have to struggle to press it and get it to work. I remember people complaining about it when the phone came out and its a simple mechanical problem.
Sent from my PG86100 using Tapatalk
Mine has a similar issue, but it's the volume buttons rather than the power button, where if I press it once, it registers two hits, which was particularly frustrating when I had TWRP 1.0.
It's definitely a hardware issue. My first one had this same issue. My new one doesn't have any problem at all. Switching the back cover doesn't make a difference on the new one. I can't get it to happen at all with it.
For a temp solution you can use leedroid tweaks and set something else besiders the power button to turn the screen/phone on/off. Like vol up, down, or camera button even.
Mine does this aswell, non-rooted

i though i am alone experiencing this haha, -___-
So my wife pulled her phone out of her pocket and her LTE was stuck like this.
Can't do a reset or anything. Anyone else have this happen?? On the way to a Sprint store now.

i'll be honest..... doesn't look good........
on the 3D you could hold the 2 volume buttons, then the power button until the device reset. not sure if that trick is still available. give it a shot.
That looks like the beginning of the ole shut down/screen off animation.
Regardless, holding the power button down should reboot the phone. Assuming everything comes back up alright.
If you hold the power button for an extended period of time it will simulate a battery pull.

Be careful that this isn't the next thing that happens:
You need to hold the power and volume down button.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
Tried them all......hold power button down for 30 seconds to simulate battery pull and power button with volume down. Both restarted right back to pixeled screen. Sprint rep called it "garbled" just now. They had no idea and hadn't seen it. Will see in an hour......

That doesn't look like an LCD problem to me... unless the connector was borked.
Ive seen that screen on my EVO shift long ago. More than once and I had to battery pull to fix it.
