Hi, i have a HTC touch diamond and the power button is broken but the phone is out of warranty so thats not an option. I would like any ideas on how i could lock and unlock my phone with out using the power button. I have tried many options already but the main problem i am running into is, after i turn the screen off on the phone it turns back on after about 5seconds and then turns back off after another 5seconds then turns on after 2 then back off after 5. This is obviously a problem as the battery is draining very quickly. Any help would be greatly appreciated
it's a great problem ...........

hi, i tried a search but i couldnt find much info about it so im going to mention it here
sometimes when i turn on my diamond with the power button it wouldnt turn on but the backlight lights up, screen is blank and none of the buttons respond until i suspend it again and power it up a few times before i can get a normal looking screen and regain functionality
im wondering what can be the issue or i have a dud device
im using dutty's latest rom
I have had this problem too but only after using tomtom... It seems to render the power button inoperative.
for me this happens any time with or without tomtom and what worst is that my sound dies completely
I did not have any problems with mine. Its probably the rom ur using mate =/
Hello, I know there are many posts about dead Diamonds but I think my situation is different. I went to sleep one night and left my HTC to charge from my PC's USB. It was charging correctly because I noticed the light around the center button. All good. When I woke up, the charging light was still present and I unplugged the phone from the USB and the light was still surrounding the center button. The screen wouldn't turn on so I had to remove the battery. After I removed the battery and place it again in my HTC, it didn't want to turn on... I have tried to recharge it but the light doesn't flash anymore.. Not on my 220 socket, not on USB... I have a ROM found on this forum and been using it for 8 months with no problem... I just found my HTC froze at the charging step and removed the battery. After that it just won't start... I have managed two times to power on the device by it's normal power button but when it gets to the home screen, it freezes and I have to remove the battery again. It's been 7 days now and I can't power on once... Do you have any idea what happened ?
Thank you
If it keeps freezing at the home screen you are going to have to do a hard
re-set to unlock it. My Diamond froze at the home screen once when it was
new. I did a hard reset and it was fine after that. You will lose your data.

Hi everyone,
I got a HTC Tytn 2 and i have a problem with it.
When i boot the phone it starts up and goes into windows like every windows mobile phone.
But when i press the standby button my screen wont go out of standby.
Only when i reset the phone it will work again.
Anyone got idea's ?
Oke, since no one responded.
Is there any way how i can make the Power Button replaced with the Speed Dial Button.
Because i think my power button is broke.

Have you at least tried backing up your data and doing a hard reset first ?
Yes, and i have also tried to put on a new rom and even updated the radio.
Iam a little bit out of idea's...
here are some more ideas:
1. how to test the power button: you say pressing the power button does not wake up the device once it goes to sleep. conversely, does pressing the power button put the device to sleep while the screen is on? if the power button is unable to make the device go off->on as well as on->off, then the power button is likely broken. if pressing the button achieves on->off, then the power button is probably ok and some software issue becomes more likely.
2. how to enable wake on pressing ANY hardware button: look for an option in Settings. i can't tell you the exact option because the ROM i am using does not have a link for this option, but this option does exist 100% in stock ROM and in lots of other ROMs. it contains settings like "Lock all buttons except power button" and "Keep all buttons unlocked" or something similar. by using the second option, pressing ANY hardware button while the screen is off will wake up the device.
3. you can use AE button plus to perform even more advanced button (re)mappings.
4. just to be sure that your device is really working correct, does the screen wake up when you call the phone or when you receive a text message? if it does not wake up even then, then search for "sleep of death".
Thanks for the response.
I think its a Service of Death problem.
Because when i try calling/smsing it, it wont go on
The buttons do work then...hopefully there's a fix for this problem...
Oke, i tried switching to 2G or 3G only but that didn't fix my Standby of Death.
I also bought a new sim card of vodafone so i wont get a No Sim error.
But what can i do now about it...it hangs like every 5 min...
Okay, after a will testing, the phone hangs every time its almost like when iam on the road with my tytn 2 and placing it upside down, it hangs.
But when iam putting it in the leather holder it doesn't hang.
Any had the same problems ?

Maybe it's hardware and something is coming loose
it all started a week ago, when my screen backlight went dim i couldn't refresh the screen pressing the power button and the phone stayed "dead" until someone called me or sent me an sms..this was all frustrating and i taught it could be fixed by flashing a new rom, but it didnt..and today i drained my entire battery out and now after i recharged it i can't power on my phone .. i think the power button is broken or somethin..the problem is i live in bosnia and there isnt a HTC Customer Service here, cause its not a common phone on our market, and i cant repair it..
suggestions?
i figured how to turn it on...i toke out the battery and the sim card,and after i put all that back it turned on...
Hi
So my phone has randomly started to die about once every other day. Screen goes black (i have always on screen) and no response from any of the buttons (power button, twice volume down button for camera). I have to hold the power button until it restarts/starts (don't know if it is dead or not). Anyone else has this issue? Only wierd apps that i havent hade before is blockada.

Troubleshoot it.
Delete the app and see if it still happens. If it does, flash a raw firmware and completely wipe your device. if it still continues, its a hardware issue and you should exchange the device.

You're in custom or stock rom?
Im on stock with no modifications.
Phone auto shuts down
Did you find any solution same thing started to happen with me twice in 2 days
The way I fixed it... go to settings, Security & Lock Screen, click on the gear icon next to screen lock, then choose the first option Automatically lock, choose "Immediately" any thing other than that causes the screen to go black. I hope it works!
@Ahmed_x this didnt work for me.
So today i was about to miss my international flight because of this stupid phone deciding to die on me while on charging so no alarm went off.
Wtf is wrong with Asus? How could this have gotten worst with the new update. Are their developers ret**ded?
This phone is being returned unfortunately. Awesome phone but if u cant trust it to give a simple thing as alarm whats the point.
It happened to me twice in three months. The smartphone got stuck/freeze in standby mode: no response from the physical buttons or touch. I use the official android 9 rom.
I managed to restart it with the power button and volume up pressed for 15 seconds.
I hope that with android 10 this will never happen again.
Happened to me today, had to hold volume-down + power for about 10-15s to get it back.
very strange using latest firmware too (WW_Phone-17.0230.2004.60)
[HELP] My ROG Phone always turn off suddenly when charge
Please HELP My ROG Phone 2.
It's been more than a month if the charge will turn off unexpectedly. This situation is experienced until today. So that every time I charge, phone must be in the dead state. I've been very frustrated. Already doing factory data reset, only lasts for one week and back like that again.
Worse, in certain circumstances the handphone suddenly dead and hard to be turned on again. When charging the battery, sometimes the phone likes to not fill. I had to unplug and re-plug the charging cable to return it to normal. Its sucks. I bought this phone in a new condition with the official warranty on January. I already did update to Android 10 when available by the system. This issue occurs after the update.
I had thought the charger that I got from the factory was problematic, until I decided to buy a new charger with the original quality with 30watt power. But it turns out the same.
Same here my phone will turn off while charging. And it will keep rebooting. Sometimes my rog will not charge
My ASUS ROG2 is starting ti piss me iff noe.. Everything I play BR in CODM alwaiz black out..every single game black out. This is not good...Is this normal? Every game has to black out?...
