For those who think there power button is broken because they push the button a ton of times..
Its not broken!! Its just a delay push it once and wait it will turn on it takes about 5 secs my brothers take 10 secs..
If it doesn't turn after a minute make sure your cover button is actually hitting the soft phone button, after you do all that then yes there's a problem with your hardware

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if my screen didn't immediately turn on when I hit the power button I'd consider it not working properly and warranty it.

I come from the 1st mytouch 3g platform.
For us this was normal, as some devs delayed the power process on purpose for roms on gb,
I could be wrong but I know that when my phone was stock it booted quick after I went with ics and s-off my boot was delayed it varies from rom to rom for me.

Coming from a Moto Cliq my Amaze turns on fast. But that's just comparing Grapefruits and Oranges (I dare not say apple)

True but I'm just saying that I think its normal, to have a bit of a delay now if the phone literally does nothing at all after a few seconds then that's a problem

Speed rom 7.8 doesn't have this lag, it shouldn't have it anyways

I had this problem but fixed it with a piece of tape (black electrical tape) over the power button inside the case.
I got a new cover under warranty...didn't fix the issue,
Got a new battery which didn't fix the issue but it did fix the reboots and shutdowns.
Changed back to energy. ( don't know if this did it)
I know the button does work inside the case but I felt like taking a hammer to the button.
What happened is the plastic cover over the button gotten thin over the time by pressing the button so many times.
Now it works flawlessly. Well i guess the until the tape or the plastic cover thins more.
Now i'm loving my Amaze once again and won't be selling it for half the price anytime soon
I use volume buttons to wake phone turns on instantly with power button just have to press it kind of hard but with volume buttons not the case
I'm talking about like if your phone is turned off.. and you hit the power button to turn it back on it lags,

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
Sigh...
Whenever I press my power button, I have to press it directly in the middle to get the screen to turn on. If I press the button towards the edge (left or right) the button just pushes down (becomes flush with the phone frame) and there is no click and the screen doesn't turn on. Not being picky, I just have to press the button more than 3-4 times and it feels loose.
Is anyone else's phone like this? Would help if someone could post a picture of the plastic tab underneath their power button. It feels like mine is broken.
I dunno about you but sometimes my power button won't even work. I have to take the case off, remove the battery, put it back in, then restart the phone to get it to work again. Kinda strange...
i was thinking i had the same issue earlier, then i just reseated the back and now all is well... now if i can get the rubberized black case from sprint i will be in full effect!
If you take the cover off, you will see that the button is a very small rubber and it lines up with the power button on the case, so you have to press it in the middle
So does this fix apply to power buttons that are really easily pressed too?

I've actually taken the case off and pressed the button to see if the phone would turn on. Yeah no go. It's like it locked up or something.
My evo 3d has a super sensitive power button.. it does not click at all. If I hold my phone in a land scape i accidentally turn it off if i even rub my finger over it. The design of the power button is terrible
I am exchanging this phone tomorrow hopefully I wont have any further issues

I got a case off eBay that has the power button recessed...paid $6 Also managed to get a 32 GB SD Card for $21
My mom's is super sensitive too and is pressed when holding in landscape, also has no click. Should she take it back or has anyone opened the back and fixed it?

Reason I really want to know is cause she got one and gave her ogevo to my sister and she misses her og. So I talked her into trading me her 3vo for my og.

My power button was driving ne crazy. I couldn't get it to work consistently when trying to turn the screen off, and I would sometimes get the reboot/power off confirmation box while using the phone, like the button was somehow being held down.
I found that if I pulled the top left corner of the back from the fully locked position just slightly, the button worked much better.
By this afternoon, I was tired of repositioning the back every time I took the phone out of my pocket. I went to a Sprint store, and they tried a new back. That didn't solve the problem, so they swapped my device for a new one. Problem is 100% better now. Feels great now and works perfectly.

I had the same problem with mine. Got it home from just buying it and couldn't turn it back on. Thought the battery was dead so plugged it in and presto, it came on with a decent charge still on it. Then I couldn't turn it off or put it into sleep mode. Took it back to the store 1 hour after buying it. RS exchanged it immediately, so no issue there. The new one had a definite click to the power switch where the first one had no click at all. Working great so fa.
Cool, I'm gonna get her to take it back before we switch then. Thanks guys

My Photons power buttons been weird last few days really squishy just doesn't rise back up right completely most of the time and just isn't right.. have a feeling its going to completely go soon. Hoping I can easily replace on my own, no insurance so if it dies looks like time to upgrade if I cant actually fix it on my own. Anyone have any insight on part numbers or anything?
Most people claim to take the rear parts of their photon off and reposition their power button. I wouldn't recommend this unless you feel confident doing so, but don't blame me for any damage! Haha.
I had the same issue ( for a while, randomly fixed itself) and I used a custom ROM w Volume Rocker Wake and a power widget to shut the screen off. I still use these methods regardless my power button working again.

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.
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?
