So I just got the HTC titan II. I love it. Just have a few questions. One is, is the power button on any other a little recessed or down low? I noticed in order to push it and unlock it, I pretty much have to use my fingernail. Not a big deal just annoying. It just doesn't have a good feel when pushing it. Also are the capacitive buttons dimly lit to you.? I'm coming from an android phone. So might have different expectations. Thanks for the help. What's the easiest way to cancel applications? The guy at att store said I have to keep constantly hitting the back button fast. Just seems like there should be an easier way.

I do not have any problem with power button. However yes the capacitive button light is bit dim for me. And to cancel(close) the app you have to us back button but if you no mind suspending it the use window button to go to home screen and the current app will be suspended.

is there anyway to reasign power button to make maybe the home screen button to wake device???
Since the homescreen button is capacitive, I don't think it will work when the screen is off.
Send it back, not worth the trouble imo.

Well I guess ill send back but from what ive been reading around here the power button has a few problems anyways with sinking in and just being cheap

My button just sunk in last night after a few months of use. Got mine on release day and it just now stopped working.
Is there ANY way to power it on via ADB so I can pull a Nandroid backup?
Going to the VZW store today to see if they will replace it for me... I pray they do. I've got a few scuffs on the thing so they better not act like I dropped it. :|
you could always open up the TB and remove the plastic button, then just use a paperclip to turn it on and off.
sounds silly, but hey.. it'd work
Well, for me, the only thing that made my droidx2 not perfect, was the home row of buttons. I always figured, why ruin the touchscreen experience with a clicking button thats basically a small slit. Now dont get me wrong, i dont mind buttons like on the charge, which were huge and pretty nice to press. But the ones on the dx2 and X1 were kind of a let down. So, i searched around and got hold of an app called SoftKeys, and i feel like even though it might be an extra click to bring up the buttons, i dont have to shift my hands to firmly press the buttons anymore, giving me much more fluid use of my phone. Hope this comes of use to anyone else sick of their buttons!
I attached some pics of them running on my phone, so you can see that it persists as a little button to press on, that you call in the home row.
This is pretty sweet. I will have to download and try it out. The softkeys are the worst on these phone. I much prefer to have them as a touch screen extension. Plus, when you are laying in bed at night surfing XDA on your DX2 and your spouse in sleeping so soundly next to you, the CLICK sound that the back button makes after you are done reading a post could easily disrupt the ZZZ's. Just me? lol
I'll come back and let you know how I like it.
PS: What is that battery widget on your homescreen. I NEED IT!
The battery meter im using is called battery monitor widget ver 2.0.6. and my gf is a light sleeper so i am in that boat lol.
Thanks! I've been using one but I'd rather have a widget than have it hanging out in my notification bar.
I use Button Savior. The developer has kept up development on it and it is really pretty nice. It now does all the main hardware buttons, volume control, phone button, etc. It's pretty nice. Just my $0.02, adjusted for inflation, of course.
Ciao!

I have Button Savior installed just in case any if my buttons stop working. The free version is quite simple and nice.

Is there an app that possibly replicates the ICS softkeys?

Button Savior is where its at!!!!!
I have to agree this button savior seems very nice. My back button is starting to sink in. So this is nice to have I did not care for soft keys that much.
Man the more I use this the better I like it. Wish I knew about this app before. I tried the soft keys but missed moon shadows post about this app.
Right, the reason I have started this thread is, I see some discomfort using Back capacitive button. I am not complaining that buttons don't respond to touch, they do. All 3 of them.
Let me give you an example: I am playing with the phone, doing something on the screen. After, let's say few minutes, I want to go back, so I touch Back button, but it does not respond. I press few more times and eventually it registers. Some people would say "hit and miss" or "there is an issue with capacitive buttons". I say no, because I am touching it there, where I supposed to, also once it start registering, every time I press it, it registers (I have haptic feedback on, so I know it works). I have problems only, when I am not touching capacitive buttons for some time.
I hope I explained this well. I think this is, what in some reviews has been described as "hit and miss" or "capacitive buttons not register". Do you have the same problem? If yes, why is that happening? Is it software or hardware?
I don't have this problem because I realised that the most sensitive and best working area
for left/right button isactually in the inside space rather than exactly on those little points.
So once I press slightly to the middle, it works. It requires also a little longer press.
Ok, I will try that.
I do agree on the buttons. Probably the only thing to get used to, but one you do, no phone like it period! This is sick an amazing phone it is rediculous
The back button on my phone @ left corner is actually the best out of the three. and maybe I feel the same way about the middle "HOME" button where it registers little higher than the other two. actually I have hit it few times accidentally while I was trying to push the space bar on keyboard.
But every time I felt the haptic feedback, button worked.
I am happy with the performance of the buttons. It seems like they work like the power and eject buttons on the PS3. They respond when you remove your finger.

The only thing I have to get used to...
Almost no extra hits anymore...
One touch is most of the times correct registered :-(

Right, so by looks of it, there is no issue. Something I have to get used to. Thanks a lot guys. I also hope it will help future buyers as well.
I have not had any problems with the capacitive buttons so far and tbh i prefer them to hardware buttons like on the arc/play etc
No problems here. They are better than the one's on a Samsung galaxy s2.
I used to have a Nexus One and the buttons are similar to that, you sort of have to roll/slide your finger upwards on the button ever so slightly.
I barely notice it but I know what you mean.
I find that if you aim just slightly to the middle of the screen rather than on the dots then it works great

How can you be serious? I have both, and as perfect as the Xperia S is as an upgrade, its capacitive buttons are not as sharp and fool proof..that's my only gripe ...
Example situation of problem:
Right after finishing recording a decent length FullHD video, pressing home or back needs to be done repeatedly to register (MOST of the time).
Not a deal breaker, but I so hope this is software related..
I have the same issue but after one day of owning this phone im learning where to press to get a response first time

Well I started off doing the "pressing above the dots" thing, until I noticed you could also swipe them (I swipe from the transparent bar up)....now I'm used to swiping them and never have any problem
I'm liking the swiping method, its impossible to miss and well..it's kinda fun for some reason

Yeah, that works very well. Thanks.
I am just glad we have sorted it out and it turned out it is not a software or hardware issue. After reading some advises, my phone cooperates with me much better.
My volume button just goes up and down on its own and my function buttons just keep acting like I've pressed them but haven't even touched the phone ?
Do the blow thing or clean em up.
And don't push em to hard, treat the little guy like a little girl.

So since is an S2 what about the function buttons? Getting to be almost non stop sometimes. Sense popping up and offering options even when i do not touch the phone ? Help ....

I got my HTC One from AT&T about a week ago and have been extremely happy with it over all, until yesterday when all the sudden the vibration motor got really week. I can hear the motor spin when an event such at touching the home button should trigger vibration, but it can barely rattle the phone. Is this something that would be considered a serious enough problem to have the phone exchange at the AT&T store without having to pay the restocking fee?
I would assume there wouldn't be a problem..they will probably just compare the vibration with the phones on display with yours to see if it's an issue. Usually someone in the store has the device as well for comparison.

I just got to work and it is definitely a problem it seems, it will vibrate for notifications but there is no longer haptic feedback on pressing the home/back buttons or on the key press on the HTC Keyboard. If this doesn't constitute a hardware defect I honestly don't know what could.

Sounds like you have power save mode on bud. You can edit what power save mode turns off in the power settings menu.

That sounds like a mistake I would make, but that doesn't seem to be the case this time. Power Saver is off and it still only vibrates for notifications, even after rebooting and even trying a factory reset to see if somehow I had messed something up accidentally.
