sticky power button mod (tight cases) - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

This might be a useless post. I originally posted in one of the diztronic posts, but see It's a more than one person issue. if someone can help me and post a picture of the unedited backing that way people can see a before and after. Essentially with some of the cases they grab the backing too tight against the power button causing it to stick. from what I've seen looking at a couple of EVO's is that the power button doesn't sit flush with the front of the phone, a manufacturing defect I guess. What's needed to be done is filing down the backing where it won't touch the button. In our case it is not the visible section but wings that stick out inside the phone.

Having same issue but with no case...
Ive noticed if you push down power button on the left side of the button it tends to stick, if you push on the right side your ok. I was going to get a replacement, but after reading this I might as well just modify this one.

all the "defective"ones I've seen are raised on the left side when looking down atop the button .
take the backing off and you'll see one side not flush.

THANK YOU FOR THIS POST!
I got my Diztronic TPU case in yesterday and I've had 9-10 reboots due to the power button. I was planning on going to Best Buy to exchange at lunch today but guess that's not the answer. I suppose I'll get to filing and see if that helps.
Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

You don't have to be afraid of shaving too much as there isn't anything to harm. There is a clip on the right but it's far enough from the parts to shave. just something to have caution if you go crazy with it.

I shaved a but off of mine just a tiny tiny piece actually its hard to tell any was taken off. I was getting the reboots but that cured it, and not a single reboot since.

Worked for me. Im glad becasue i liked the case i just purchased,

Just so people are aware, there is no such issue with the Cruzerlite case. My power button isn't even close to being pushed by the case.

As I've noted before, this issue isn't with all phones. my parents 2 phones didn't have the power button sticking out. mine was a bestbuy preorder by mail, theirs was a release day bestbuy walk in. I had to swap backings and cases with no change before I noticed the issue. it is also a possible problem without a case.
Once again, this issue isn't for all phones, very few actually.

Bought 2 diztronic cases. One had this problem, the other didn't.
Returned the problematic one to Amazon. Going to buy a cruzerlite!
btw, for those who shaved the case, can you tell the paint fell off?

The button isn't aluminum? Not sure what paint your pointing toward.

Au contraire, I just got my cruzerlite tpu today and do see that the left side of my power button tends to sink whenever I press it down. My temporary fix is by gently sliding my finger to the other side of the button (but it gets a little old after a while lol )
To OP thanks, but does this file mod make it look weird? I might just live with it if the cosmetic issue is really visible.
Sent from my EVOLTE

I forget that I've done it honestly. it did have an unintended side effect. the back plate is much easier to peel off ! Makes a nicer slot for your nail/object

Tomorrow I'll take a frontal post op to show. the pic in the first post is the filed backing .

I got impatient and did it haha. I used a knife, nail clipper and a nail file to smooth it down. Less than 5min to mod the plastic backing. Just carefully clip off the edge under curved part where the power button would be at

OP...You are the man! Filed it down with a nail file and the problem went away. Thank you!
This info is so good I had to thank you twice!

That is, in my opinion, the best silicon case for the wizard!

I paid about 30$ for it, and it came with a nice wrist strap. For me it's ideal because I can work with the wizard's keyboard perfectly, the protection is good for the device and excellent for the screen. Sadly the only color I could pick was white.. The only problem is that apparently I've got a defected one, because the back part won't stick to the device (the front sticks as it should, so I believe that after replacing the back part it will also work. I use a double-sided duct tape in the mean while)
Here are the photos:

Always makes me wonder, what keeps the case on, on both sides? There just doesn't seems to have places to grip on.
It's semi-rigidized, so the frame around the device is made of plastic and coated with silicon. The frame has small clasps that keep the case on the device. Actually one was broken so I'm holding it with the duct tape and going to replace it today. These are the clasps:
They look flimsy but they're OK.
Cool...
Hey...Where did you find that? I have been looking for a case like that everywhere...ok, obviously not everywhere or I would have found it...all I have been able to find were cases for the cingular 8125...could you post the link please? thanks...oh one more thing, does it come off pretty easily?
I read somewhere awhile back that somebody had dyed their clear silicone cover
They used some dye that can be found at most stores(Walmart, Target, etc.)
I dont think it was food dye...maybe something along the lines of clothing dye.
Anyway, they put this tablet of dye in warm water, then placed the silicone cover inside and then left it in there for several hours.
It came out looking great....I think the guy had done some using black, blue, and red.
I Found It...
Thanks to Aviv for a little help in the right direction...
http://pdaden.com/shop/cart.php?target=product&action=view&product_id=18120&substring=wizard
just search for wizard and scroll down to the bottom of the screen.
My long search is over...it's only $24 with international shipping...Thank you so much Aviv
The front part is held tight, but the rear doesn't, at least mine. With the duct tape it's OK.
Well good idea for a silicon case, but looks forced. Also I prefer the PD'air aluminium cover, really protects the phone. Have dropped it several times by mistake and (phew) phone still works.
I have the aluminum case also, it is kinda bulky. But aside from that I think that it feels odd using it. Having to open it just to use the touch screen, not to mention the keyboard, is a little much for me. I have dropped mine plenty of times with out any case and it still works fine (scares the daylights out of me when it happens though).
Aluminum cases are bulky and heavy. With this silicon case I can work with the wizard without giving up protection, it's always inside. Furthermore, the silicon case is nice to hold, even better then a naked wizard. It won't slip and it's soft to touch.
hmm whats those yellow things on ur keyboard
Hebrew letters.
Anyone tried this with the Cingular 8125 version. It's more rectangular. Kinda of uglier... I just shipped the back case and I think I'd rather get a silicon case but I want one that's made for the cingular version.
This is the closest that I have seen...only problem is that it doesn't allow the keyboard to slide open. The 8125 seems to have the most options as far as silicon cases though so you might check around.

Did anyone else get this case yet?
It pretty good but I'd like to get some more opinions before buying it.
It's on order. I'll give you my feedback when it arrives.

Anyone try the Incipio Feather for our GSII?

There's no cases in stores around me (Bay Area) because they didnt sell the phone here so i have to buy one online. Anyone have this case? Is it good? Mic holes? Thanks
http://www.myincipio.com/Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-ATandT-Cases-Accessories/Incipio-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II-ATandT-feather-Ultralight-Hard-Shell-Case.asp
The case keeps the super slim profile of the phone, adding no bulk at all. Keeps scratches off the back but i think if you drop this you'll be in trouble, i like it though. Also the screen protector they send with the phone is the International version with the home button cut out.

finally! ive been waiting for the feather to come out for our device. ive had this for my iphone and its my fav case ever.
according to the pics from the site, doesnt look like any of the mic holes are covered even on the noise cancellation. the cut out looks big enough.
I have the other case they sell and it is an amazing case but the power button is hard to press. It is a very noticeable difference and I'm still deciding if its a deal breaker or not. You have to press it from the right angle every time and it is annoying.
Looks like the top is is actually open. I think I'ma try this one.
Too bad they don't offer white or red -- I'd be all over it in a heartbeat...
EDIT: I'm going to go ahead and try the blue one.
If anyone is interested, there's a 15% coupon floating around: FBFAN2011
(Note if you just add the item to your cart and you try to pay there is no place to enter the promo code, but if you add to your cart, browse the site a little more, and then click 'view cart' at the upper right hand as if you were going to edit the order, you can then add the code -- at least that is what worked for me)!
Looks tempting - if anyone can compare with the Casemate barely there and/or the Rearth Slim I'd appreciate it - I've got both of those but I'm always willing to upgrade
Looks like ill be getting it then
Ordered mine on Saturday, got the shipping confirmation today. Hope to get it by the end of the week!
FYI- I recently got the casemate barely there and despite what I read the top is cut properly for our i777 top mic, just like the pic posted above.
Hope that may help some who were unsure about it.
Mine should be here today
Would love to see some pictures when you get it

Just got it now, im going to update the OP when the pics finish uploading.
Thanks for sharing, seems like a cool case.
Thanks for the pictures.
I'm a little bummed out because I thought the sides went around to the front a little more. Based on Picture 3 in the OP, it looks like the screen will sit flush on a surface if it's placed faced down. That's one thing I really liked about my Case Mate case right now.
My case comes in on Friday, I'm hoping it works out ok.
Sorry, wrong case comment
I too wish it had the lay on the table design
Well I got my case in and tried it out. Sure enough, it doesn't fit quite right on the bottom part of the phone. I'm really disappointed, I think that is a deal breaker for me. I don't want to have to worry about my phone screen getting scratched up due to the poor fit. I also suspect this will make the phone susceptible to falling out of the case as well.
Bummer.

you should probably try to exchange for another one. can you take some pics of how it doesnt fit quite right? im about to order one but if its a bad batch, im gonna wait a bit before i order.
i have the same model for my iphone and love it. i have 4 different color. this model doesnt wrap around to the front and create a lip. its pretty much just a thin plastic skin for the phone.
Here's what my case looks like.
I used the case tonight and it feels like the phone pops out of the case. It seems like the area that going around the bottom of the phone and the bump. When I squeeze the sides, it feel like it gives a little bit and somewhat clicks to look more like the top of the case, but it doesn't stay.
I'm emailing Incipio to see what they can do. I don't really want to get the other case, so I will probably just return it.

[Q] Creaky Battery Cover?

The battery cover of my Galaxy s3 seems to creak (or sit loose) when gentle pressure is applied to the battery cover a bit above the volume-up on the volume rocker. Anyone else experience this?
I have circled the area that creaks slightly when pressure is applied.

I cannot duplicate this issue.
Sounds like one of the connectors might be faulty. Pop off the cover and see if the connector nearest the problem area looks like the other ones.
I checked mine and it's fine

mines fine
If it's anything like the S2 battery cover, try this fix: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21473385&postcount=18
I will chime in too...mine is solid.
Well this one got me out of being a lurker on this site - I have the exact same problem in the same location and it is driving me nuts. I have visibly inspected the connectors and they all appear to be the same. Still within my return window at VZW but I hope they can just give me a new cover vs. dealing with a new phone.
I also have this issue. I have the white GS3 from AT&T. I kind of feel that I may end up with a bigger problem if I exchange for another. It's incredibly annoying considering the money I dropped on this thing, but I figure a case will cover it up, and my fingers rarely ever hang out in that area anyway.

i would suggest taking it to your retailer and ask them to replace it. unfortunately, i doubt they will go through the trouble of doing that for you. you could try ordering a new back cover. they are a bit pricey though.
Try detaching that side of the cover and snapping it on clip by clip. I had a slight creak, but this fixed it.

Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately I've tried putting it back on every way possible, no luck. I also tried the hair dryer method from the SII and do not recommend it - the clear coating on the back started to crack around the headphone jack. I was working very carefully so it's hardly noticeable but had I been pushing harder it could have cracked a lot. It's possible that I needed to heat it more but I'm afraid to since it's already pretty dang flimsy.
I'm going to go to VZW today and we'll see what they say. I really hope they act on it, a flagship $300 device should not have creaky plastic on the back...
In my case, I can actually see that the back cover does not fit properly. Regardless of how I put the cover back on, that edge is slightly raised from the phone, which is what causes the creaking. The creaking doesn't exist on the phone itself without the back cover on.
I brought my phone in and they are 3+ weeks backordered so they suggested I try Sammy - I played with the phone again and realized the creak is actually coming from the phone case itself, and NOT the back cover.
OP try taking off your cover and pushing along the thin strip of plastic on the side of the battery, this is at least where my creak is. I tried tightening the screws but no help, this just got even more frustrating.

Protective Film... Did you get it ALL?

Okay, I've had my phone for 4 days now, and thought I had all of the protective films off of it. I found my wife had missed the ones on the edge 2 days ago, so she got all of those.
But did you notice there's one on the power/volume buttons?
Yeah, me neither. It is now OFF.
So, we have...
1. Screen protective film
2. 4 thin films going around the edge of the phone (if your phone edges feel rough, this is why)
3. Film that looks like a Tie Fighter covering the power button and volume buttons.
Some may know of these, but I bet you I'm not the only one that missed them...

Turn your phone sideways (landscape), then scrape down the middle (powerbutton) with your fingernail.

Anybody know how I can remove the audio and charging port letters to keep the stock film? I tried nail polish but it didn't remove them.

Two days ago I started to feel something was wrong with the volume up button. I was like oh no the build quality is horrible. Then I realized it's a film that started peeling off! :laugh:

No worries, we aren't stupid, just differently smart.
Missed that volume one. Thanks!
Not a problem. May the Force be with you.
Anyone else?
I just noticed the ones on the side when I took the case off. I like the Tie Fighter looking one but now I see why I can't find the volume buttons fast.
Get them all? The only one I took off, was the one on the screen. I want to keep this baby in as good shape as possible, so it's worth more when it comes time to sell it.

Poetic Revolution case for Tab 4 8.0

The moment I opened my Tab 4 I realized it needed a case. The Tab 3 7.0 that it replaced lived it's life in an Otterbox mainly because I got a deal on it and it was a good case. There wasn't an Otterbox for the 4 when I got it so I started searching and found the Poetic Revolution on Amazon for $15.
Based on the description I decided that this case should be good enough for a while. I overlooked the fact that it actually a TPU outer skin, not rubber like the Otterbox. This isn't a big deal but it is stiffer than I had hoped for. The volume and power buttons are hard to identify without looking at them, but they still press easily even though you can't really tell you are pressing them at times. The rear of the case is plastic and seems to feel durable. The integrated screen protector only lasted 3 days before I ripped it out. The screen did not seem to respond correctly with it in place and at times would act funny if I was not pressing forcefully. There are also flaps that cover the SD card slot as well as the headphone and charging ports.
Overall I feel that this is a very well made case. The fit and finish is nice and there are no fitment issues. The only issue I have is the screen protector which I have solved by removing it altogether, and for the price it can't be beat.

One month update:
The case is still holding up very well with no major issues, I just wanted to add that the power and volume buttons are still very hard to press. There is no indication of whether they have been pressed or not, no soft squish, no tactile feedback, nothing. Its hard to tell if the button has been pressed unless you are looking at the screen. I only say this because I spent the last few weeks trying to root the device and had to take it out of the case to get it in to odin.

Is there a cutout at the top of the screen protector for the camera? I'm trying to figure out if this might work with the voice capable version.
I think there was a hole for the camera, but I am using a separate screen protector because the one that was with the case pretty much sucked.
Sent from my SM-T337T using Tapatalk
Is the headphone jack accessible? An amazon review said it isn't because the case is too thick.
I have this case as well, there is a cutout for the front cam and have had no issues with headphone jack door unless your jack is extraordinarily thick.
Definitely gonna order one of these
This is the case I have aswell. It has already saved my tablet from a fall and skid or two. Haven't had any issues with the builteam in screen protecter though. Touch seems just as responsive to me. Only issue I have is using the IR blaster. The plastic covering the port seems to shorten the range by about a ft. and a half or so.
Edit...
Well... I can now safely say that the case is well worth what I payed for it. 4am trip downstairs and dropped my tablet. End over end down the entire flight of bare hardwood stairs in a home with 12 ft. ceilings.
I just picked up a 7" Tab 4, and immediately ordered this case and Im impressed with the build quality. I have this case for my Note 4 and MotoX 2014 and all three are built very well. The built in screen protectors are hit and miss. The one that came on this unit worked very well and sticks flatly on the screen with no high spots, so I kept it on.
Id say that for $15 you really cannot go wrong.
