Well guys I got my HTC Flyer thru a trade a few weeks back and it worked well and I absolutely loved the Flyer until 2 days ago. I was using it to chat with my ex gf on GTalk and I locked it, put it down and we talked on the phone then. And like 2 hours later, I went to turn the Flyer on and the touch screen wouldn't respond. The animations and everything works fine. But when I touch the screen, nothing. I used then pen and still nothing. When I rotate the screen, it does rotate but the touch screen still won't respond. I tried to let the battery run out but its gonna take extremely long for the battery to die out when its on the lock screen/standby mode. Any help guys? I really like this tablet and also its rooted and running the LeeDroid Honeycomb Sense 3.0 rom . Thanks guys

I have just got the S3, its a great phone apart from one design failure in my eyes, the two capacitive buttons are to close to the edge of the phone making then a pain in the ass. they keep being triggered just by holding the phone in landscape. is there any way to disable these 2 buttons indefinitely and relocate them on-screen? i saw some one with a version of jelly bean running on the s3 which was ported over, they had the buttons on screen.
Please help me guys

Hello Dear XDA members,
So I have an Amaze that you guys helped me root and install custom ROM on back in Jan, thanks! Now the power button is going out, it's very hard to turn the screen on and off. I have been using the camera button to turn the screen on but I can't turn it off with that button. If the phone runs out of battery I have a really hard time turning it back on.
I called HTC and they said I they will send me an RMA code but they didn't, after a few days I called back and they said while its still under warranty they can't help me because the phone was a demo unit originally. Well I got it from Craigslist not Tmobile so maybe that's why.
Anyway, is there a way to fix the button? I mean 11 months is a very short period for a $599 phone! Anyone knows how to fix this? I really appreciate it. Thanks !!
Ouch. I bought mine from craigslist too but checked my imei before buying. You can use a widget that will act as as power button. See if you can still push the button with ease if you take the phone out of its frame.

"Screen off and lock"on play store is a really good one.

He said he has been using the camera button to turn the screen on,but he can't turn it off with it,to me that describes a problem turning the screen off,sooo "screen off and lock"made sense to me.

Well I guess his biggest sticking point is how to turn the phone on without a working power button. Same thing happens with Nexus One and there are easy workarounds (by plugging in and remove/insert battery repetitively). Is there such a work around for the Amaze?

I came from the nexus one to the amaze when it came out. Having broken power button phobia from the start, I've found "screen off and lock" from market for turning off the screen, and "quick boot" also from the market for reboot, etc. Don't know of any methods off hand to turn it on, once off...
I did however notice that with the back plate off it's easier to get a firm click pushing the power button with just my finger.

Check to see if its the actual button thats not working properly, or if its the back cover. My phone sometimes doesn't have the power button register when i press it down the first time, but its just the button on the back cover that's wearing down and not making contact with the phone. Take a look and hopefully thats all it is, and all you have to do is replace the back cover which runs you anywhere from 10-15 bucks on ebay :good:
google 'button remapper apk' and use it to set your camcorder button as your new power button.

Hey guys that you all! Installed the screen off and lock app and it works great! Thanks!
Removed the battery cover and the button works fine, I guess I just have to replace the battery cover.
Thank you all!!

What andy55 said works but only if the phone isn't completely off. This only works in sleep mode.
Also, try taking off the back cover and press and hold the rubber area with your fingernail where the power button should be. I found the button on the cover wasn't making adequate contact with the phone.
Since I got my note 2, my screen turns on relatively slow at times almost 75% of the time. My s3 almost always beats my note 2 when turning them both on. Is this how it is for any of you guys?

Lol you're saying the screen wake is slow because of the delay? If so, it's just delayed compared to the S3 and has no effect on performance. No, your phone is not defective.

I know it doesn't affect performance, but it does get kind of annoying when it happens most of the time.

This is a common occurrence and has been discussed many times in many posts. You're phone is not defective. This is just a quirk of this particular phone.

I normally start/wake my phone with the power button as i do not use a lock screen. This is the fastest way to wake your phone. Pressing the home button with a lock screen does take a little longer for me. It also takes me to the home screen when i have no lock screen instead of the app that was open, which is more annoying!

I do the exact same thing, I see no reason whatever to run a lock screen as these phones never pocket dial anymore.
If took me a while to realize that the power button returned to the app that was open before it went to sleep and the home button went to the home screen however.
I see what your saying about the delay. Maybe it's something they can fix in the kernel

Never thought of removing the lockscreen. Makes perfect sense with this phone. Of course, that's one less screen to enjoy designing for!
boo boo be boo
Okay, my is being absolutely retarded. When I press the power button 99% of the time the screen won't come on. I have to push the button 20-30 times in order for it to come on sometimes.
The issue is though, I know the power button works because when I press it the home, menu, back and search buttons always light up.
And to make things weirder I can still use the touch screen even though the screen is black. If I love my thumb around I can feel the unlock vibrate :/...
In other words my "screen works" but usually stays black.
Any idea what this is?

Same thing happened with me,i'm just holding the home and the back button after i pressed the unlock button and the screen is working,
try to run an official RUU to restore your evo 100% ,maybe it's help you
Hey I have the exact same problem.. But my is from evo getting contact with water.. Technicaly the screen is on but it just doesn´n show up anything just dark..
Our screens are pretty crappy, my digitizer is broken on mines. I call it the Struggle phone now
hi...
well im pretty sad cause i dropped my galaxy s2 on the floor(not the 1st time)...this time when i switched it on all it shows is a white screen with crazy coloured lines.i waited a bit and i understood that it booted up.i pressed the power button and the display went off and heard the sound(i assigned it on pressing power button).then i again pressed the power button switching on the phone to its lockscreen and from my memory i pressed that jellybean locksreen buttton and slid my finger.anyways it unlocked and went to the homescreen.later i was able to switch off the phone too....everything works except the screen...
Is it just that my lcd is loose connected or is it damaged and would i need a replacement.
Sorry for the lengthy description if it bored you and my advance thanks to anyone who gives an answer and thanks to xda -for this forum.
Have a very close look at the screen under a not too bright light and see if you can notice any cracks. Sometimes you can barely see them.
If you can't see any, then if I were you I'd open it up and pray to God that it's just the screen connector that's come off slightly. It's a possibility.
Good luck..
