I was reading a book and the screen just stopped responding to finger touches, I think a reset might fix it but I can't switch it off. Long press on the off switch gives me the Android power options but of course I can't select any of them.
Any ideas? apart from waiting for the battery to go dead.
/edit solved it, long press of power and center button uintil you see the HP logo. I thought there might be some Android specific way.
For touchscreen not responding, I often just click power button to turn off the screen, then home to wake it up. That seems to fix it more often than not.
Next time you need to reboot, just hold down Home + Power for 10+ seconds

im getting trouble to power it on
sometimes even the power button doesnt do anything
i didnt lock the keys

most of the time the 2 buttons of the contact and the calendar doesnt power it on when im pressing on them while the o2 is off
does anybody had this problemm - maybe it is because some software that i installed ?

My contacts and calendar keys do not power it on either. Also, if you press one of those, it seems to lock out the power button for a few seconds. If you press them multiple times, it may take a while before it will power on. Mine always responds instantly to the power button as long as I have not pressed one of the others.
options
There are options, under security settings I think.
I have mine selected. It only allows the XDA to be switched on by pressing the power button. Doesn't always seem successful though..
I quite often sit on mine, so the key-lock feature is absolutely essential...

Tried to turn on my XDA yesteday and the button fell into the device ! This caused not to be able to turn on the screen unless I got a call. I downloaded Vito SystemTools' button maping program which allowed me to make my calendar button (when held down) to turn the screen on and off. The problem is that turning the screen on and off is not doing the same thing as the power button did. I was under the impression that all the power button did was turn the screen on and off to save battery and prevent unintended input. However, now my battery dies in 6-8 hours of use compared to the normal 2 days. Obviously, there is somthing more that the power button does.
What I'd like to know from the developers is if there is a program called by the power button and how I should access it. The button mapper program allows me to map any program I want to (almost) any hardware button (not the volume button). If it's a DLL or somthin I can probably write a wrapper program for it with some pointers.
I'm also in the market for a dummy xda or just another power button if someone has one just to get it to look better. However I like the functionality of holding down the calendar button for 1 second to turn the device on/off and would like to keep that permanently.

The power button is probably hard-wired to some processor wake-up logic. So when you turn the processor off, it's going to be very hard to make it wake up by anything else. You could write something that makes it wake up very very momentarily, say every few seconds, to check for a button-press. But my guess is what you want is a new power button.
damn Well i'm waiting on a dummy phone auction unless anyone over here has one to sell me.
I got exactly the same problem, the only difference is that i managed to get it back and i putted some silicone glue in it. It works and don't ask me how ;-)
Anyway, why don't you just press on the call - hang-up , calendar, volume button to wake the phone up?
Than just change the settings in battery power to make it shut down after 5min or 10min. It should help you reduce your battery life time since the phone gets automaticly in sleep mode after that time.
good luck,

I have my phone set not to wake up without the power button being pressed. I can turn this off but then buttons get pressed in my pocket since I don't like belt clip holders.
Need some help !
The HTC Jet stream does not power on - strange problem.
Unit used to work perfect till today - however suddenly the unit does not power on.
1. Battery is fully charged
2. The orange led on the power button is "on" even when its NOT Charging
3. pressing the power on does not do anything.
Tried several things, like doing a "hard reset" from the buttons, by pressing the volume down and at the same time pressing or holding the power - NOTHING help.
The ORANGE screen on the power is "on" with the charger or without it.
Any of you guys have a smart idea to try ?
Anyone know if there is a "hidden" reset button ?
problem was solved !
press & hold the power button for 20 seconds & at the same time press the volume button.
This has released the "stuck status" and the jet stream has back to live as normal.
FIXED!!!

Thanks

My HTC Jetstream will not stay powered on, when I push the power button the tablet will briefly power on I see the HTC screen for a few seconds and then the tablet powers off and it will then power on and then off every few minutes but will not stay on. Please help!!!
I am not sure if this is a bug with 5.1.1 or not. I tried searched before coming here to post, but I haven't come across a solution yet.
Anyways, my phone doesn't have power saver on, smart stay is off, and I have my security set to fingerprint unlock.
To the issue at hand - My screen doesn't automatically time out if I press the home button or the power button to turn on my screen. In order for the screen to turn off, I have to manually press the power button. Otherwise, the screen just stays on and drains my battery. This wouldn't be too much of an issue if my butt didn't always press the home button while the phone was my pocket.
I'd really hate to factory reset or flash another rom, as I just finished installing all of my apps and whatnot after a phone replacement. However if that is the only option to fix this problem, then I'm okay with doing so.
Thanks ahead of time for reading!
**quick edit** - forgot to mention that if I receive a notification, that it turns my screen on and keeps it on until I press the power button.
Today and yesterday I had a weird issue with my v10, as I was playing a game the screen started moving around as if someone had been tapping randomly. I couldn't tap the screen or swipe up to press the home button. When I pressed the power button the fingerprint sensor unlocked the phone again but the phone was still spazzing out. Then I went to the lock screen and tried holding the power button to turn off the phone and the power menu appeared but I couldn't tap anything. After that I pulled the battery and it was fixed. Does anyone know what caused this or how to prevent this form happening again?
