My friend,
Too reliable on power button to do everything will easily damage it and the chance to accidently unlock with these button is 1/1000.I always put my x8 in pocket and it never happen,just make sure nothing else in there or u risky to scratch it.
p/s:used to 'accidently' step on s**t several time in my life.Should me disable my feet too?

Hi pipi,
I dont undertand why do you wan to do that? If you disable that then how can you unlock your phone? And it will only lit up if accidently press but it will not unlock it self it will just get black after several second.
PS: Please dont start a flame you two

it has only happened to me when using lense lockscreen.. So yea i use the ring one now and every thing is ok... But it would be awsome to have such option in rom..

Do you have a warranty?
no, i bought it from Italy. why do i need the warranty? the device is functioning, it;s just the lock. i can work with it, but only after a SR
Maybe I am missing something but is that lock icon actually part of some app? Can you touch the icon with your stylus? Anything happen?

[Q] Lock Screen won't "Unlock"

The lock screen on my Droid will not unlock. It will move when I try to swipe it, but it snaps back and won't open. Knew it won't help, but did a battery pull, re-booted and nothing changed. I can't get to any kind of menu that I know of because it is an unrooted, stock phone. I can't use the phone at all if I can't unlock it. PLEASE HELP!!!
Come on, no responses? I know someone on here can offer up something...

u sure u swipe/pull ALLLLL the way to the right?
It happens to me sometimes for the phone call, when you did not complete the whole sliding on the very 1st time. Dunno why, but a double power button click (off screen/on) solves the problem.

What if the power button break?

Mine is a stupid question.
Looking at my new nexus s the hardware buttons are protruding unlike the old motoria milestone.
They feel not so rocks so I was thinking, what if the power button break?
How turn on the phone or wake up it? How to enter recovery?
if you're worried try to use it as little as possible
my nexus s wakes up when i touch the screen and locks when i put it into my pocket (proximity sensor). So i use the power button about once a week to reboot.
but if it breaks nontheless - send your nexus to samsung they'll fix it.
ive been with a broken power button for almost 5 months now. i use the volume rocker to wake, and the lockscreen widget to lock the phone. also, i use the twrp recovery that has options to use for a select instead of the power button. ive even forgotten that i had a working power button
I would just contact Samsung the phone hasn't been out for a year yet. They should cover this just make sure your phone is unrooted and running stock.

Ok I understand that it's possible to use the phone also without the power button but how do you turn on?
How do you enter recovery without it?

How do you have this function? What rom do you use?
CM7 has the wake key functions. CWM recovery also allows the use of the soft keys.

many ways..
in the terminal emulator app type..
su(press enter)
reboot recovery(press enter)
or there are many apps that will boot you into recovery, like RootBooter.
if all else fails, you can enter recovery via adb or fastboot too, via your computer. once you stop using the power button, you will "see" many ways around it. there are root apps that can remap your buttons too.

What if you finish your battery or the nexus is off? How to turn on the phone without power button?

i gently flick the back of the phone(right under the lens) with my finger), and instantly, the phone powers up. since i test the trinity kernel before releases, i get many that dont boot, and need to go straight into recovery to flash another kernel so that my phone could boot. i do the same thing with the gentle flick to the back of the phone. i boot the phone into fastboot mode, select recovery, then instead of pressing the power button to select recovery, i gently flick the back of the phone right under the lens and the recovery option gets selected. from there i flash another kernel(or rom) and boot the phone. i havent had any issues for the past 5 months doing this, and i flash many times almost each and every day.

stexyn ,I had read somewhere about an procedure, but didn't tried it myself..
put your phone to charge , when U see it's charging , take out the battery and put it back.
Hope it works for you.
I will try this, thank you

Hi, my little italian friend ! I hope you will solve your problem
I have to say, i am truelly interested in how you can get your phone to turn off when you put it in your pocket. Would save me alot of button presses.
I'm currently looking into the Cyanogen 7.1 lockscreen menu but can't seem to find anything for the proximity sensor.
Please enlighten us.

I have no button problem (read the thread object).
Mine is just a curiosity to know how to proceed if this happens.

Could you tell us more about your setup? How did you managed to lock it by putting in your pocket?
EDIT: didn't realize there are more pages in this thread, so another user already asked my question. Waiting for the answer...

Just remap the G-button like it's writen in this forum already a hundred times, especially if your on CM10 and don't have the 2.3.4s deep sleep problem.

If you're not on gingerbread, then you don't have this bug. This bug doesn't allow waking up the phone after a few minutes of deep sleep by G button.
But the g buttons for waking the phone works well in CM10/ICS. (of coure you have to remap it)
How do I do it? The instructions say I have to modify a file, but it's not where it's supposed to be
try one thing
i had this with cm10 and v30b
flash zeus and it will be fine
it's deep sleep
If you are using Cm10 go in settings and set a volume rockers wake.Nothing else, just settings.

I guess you should call HTC and get a quote for the fix. I don't think there is another way to turn it back on.
is there no other way like to a computer.

I allready did that but thx and it didnt work. I also open the back cover for im desprate cause i thought maybe i can press the power button better this way but also that didnt work. I saw something in youtube but it was for the galaxy s2 and the you use a (JIG) to automatic booting the phone and also there was a way to flash the phone and that way it automatic turn on. My question is there something like a jig or a flash software that can do that for the htc one

last idea I got: old cyanogenmods booted the phone when an usb was plugged in (when usb debug was on)
Try holding the power button with the phone directly under a lamp until it boots. Sounds weird but it worked for me. I remember reading that somewhere...

it's pretty difficult to install anything on a phone that's turned off
thx everyone but it still doesnt work. And HTC indonesia dont want to take it back for repairs must send it to Holland. I know one thing i will never buy a htc anymore couple years ago i bought also a htc (desire) and that problem was it keep heating up and rebooting. With this one i got problems with the cam on low lights and then came the power button problem.
