One thing bugs me with this device is the fact the power button and volume rocker is so close together , Evey time I hit the power button to turn of the screen I take a screen shot as my thumb hits the volume down at the same time my gallery is full of screen shots , so annoying [emoji36]

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

Could you point me in the right direction for that kind of case?

Hi,
I have 2 questions:
First
Is the power Button on your devices jiggling to? Mine seems to have one contact point in the middle but both ends (top & bottom) can be pressed down a little bit without actually pressing the button. You can feel this very good with going up and down over the key with a little preassure...
Second
There are two capacitive buttons on the device as you know: the options and the back button. I dont know if its made by design but my back button isnt as responsive as the option one. Sometimes it misses presses. Especially if i press really soft. The option button is catching all actions no matter if hard or soft. This happens mostly when backlight of the back button is off.
Could you please check this on your units.
I love this phone but these both little things drive me crazy.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA
Yeah my power button's the same so only time will tell if it's badly designed, and both capacitive buttons feel about the same, and if anything I find the screen a bit too sensitive.
Do you mean the home button or the power button on the top right side of the unit?

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,

Hey guys, something that iv'e been noticing lately that has been an annoyance. I notice sometimes when I pull my phone out of my pocket and press the power button nothing happens unless I press it twice, it seems the power button doesn't respond until the second screen turns on. Is this some sort of software setting that has to do with the gyro sensor and being in my pocket?

I can't reproduce this. In fact my phone will turn on in my pocket of it press the power button. Fingerprint reader unlocks it there.

This is my first LG phone, I honestly could be pressing a volume button by mistake, but I can't figure it out! I also do not use the fingerprint reader, not sure if that would really make a difference with this situation however.
I've had back buttons using the G2 and G3. It took me a while to not press a volume key instead of the power button. I always used knock on with those phones though, never the power button. Fingerprint reader has been awesome to me. If it's taking 2 taps you might have a defective unit.

No, you got it right. The phone is basically sleeping while the second screen is off. It doesn't turn on until the proximity sensor trips it to come back on. Put the phone in your pocket and wait a minute. Take it out really quick and try and turn it on. Or even use the knock on..... It won't work.... It's kind of annoying.... Lol.
Android Central mentioned that annoyance in their review.... :banghead:

Yup, I just put it on a flat surface for a few seconds, quickly picked it up and hit the power button. Nothing. Annoying!
