Screen bulges inward when Pressing START key

Hi all. I have a small question. When I press the left Soft key (Just under START)in my HTC S730, the screen (LCD) just above the button goes "inward" then when I release the button, it goes out (to normal). Its kind of the same effect if its a touchscreen. My friends HTC S730 does the same thing. Can anyone with an HTC S730 tell me if yours does the same thing. Its clear when you have the background with a black color. I don't know if this is normal or maybe me and my friend bought bad ones. Thanks.

No ONE?
I see that people are reading my post. But no one with an HTC S730 can reply??? Come on guys.
DOES THE SCREEN JUST ABOVE THE "START" BUTTON GOES INWARD WHEN PRESSING THE LEFT SOFT KEY BUTTON????????
Thanks.

had some test right now
if i press the sx softkey normally nothing happens
but if i press it with some power (i.e as when i tapping on the desk to hear the woodden noises or playng a key on an old piano) the display goes inward
but it is a millesimal issue, nothing to be notable if you didn't say me! (i had asked to test to my brother too, without advise he about the screen "game", he cannot see any differences)
is our screen "game" mostly evident?
(maybe it could be a fabbric disguise or an accidental fall?)

Thanks
thanks for the reply. And sorry you did not noticed this until now because of me. But mine is very noticeable. Whenever I press the START soft key button I see the inward effect. Does not need to be a hard press to show. I just wanted to know if this is normal with the device built. Thanks again for the reply.

[Q] Mushy Power Button

My power and volume up buttons are starting to stick a little bit and to press them feels a little mushy. Any way to clean them to restore the click they made when being pressed? This is really frustrating...

same here with the power button... one of it's sides is down. but it doesn't look like it's stuck. I can manage to put it on the right position again easily. It's more like if's loosing the tension...

Me too. Used to have a great feeling click to it. Not sure how long it's been bad, but noticed it a week ago. At times i can't feel it might at all. On a few occasions it's got stuck for long enough to bring up the power off menu.
My volume up is perfect. My volume down isn't so clicky any more, but nothing like the power key. It seems with volume down that now I've noticed and started writing this I've fixed it by pressing repeatedly. Didn't work for power...

I've just watched to this video where she disassemble the moto x:

At 13:40 we can see the button mechanism. It's an ordinary plastic membrane that offers the resistance for those buttons. I think the metal buttons are just too heavy for the kind of membrane that Motorola used on this... The curious thing is that I press the power button half of the times that I should press on an ordinary smartphone, because I always wake it up with the Moto Screen stuff...
Anyway.. I don't think there is a way to fix it without sending it to repair. They will probably disassemble it, change the membrane and send it back to you. And unless they change it for a more resistant membrane, nothing will prevent the issue from appearing again...

Mechanical problem: Dropped Xperia Z - jolted power button and lifted case rim

Hi,
I dropped my Xperia Z the other day and now the power button seems to be permanently down (recessed). The case rim below the power button (when looking at the screen) is lifted. Luckily, I can still power up/down, but now the lifted area below the power button has become the button. If I try and push the case rim back into the frame, it pops up *above* the power button. Volume controls still work though.
Obviously my waterproofing has gone, and it looks naff. Anyone seen this before? Is this easy to fix?
I always knew the power button was a weakness on this phone. Didn't think I'd hit it the first time I drop it though.

If the fall have physically damage the frame of the phone near the power button, it is possible that the button is not well fixed in the inside of the phone, and seems don't work well.. I think you must replace the frame of your phone...

Wobbly home button on Mi5

I just got my Mi 5 and am disappointed to have gotten one with a wobbly home button. I expected the power and volume buttons to be wobbly but not the home button. Its loose on the right side especially making it seem like the whole button is slanted. Anyone have a similar issue? Is it worth the trouble of returning it or should I just live with it and hope that eventually it will even out from use?

I have the same, doesn't really bother me. If anything I'm slightly relieved it won't be prone to button stuck problems

On my unit it feels really solid. No wobbles but it's extremely hard to press up to the point where I wished it was a bit more loose. Happy the phone supports double tap to wake cause the force required to press the home button is too damn high.

Thats exactly why i have 2 tap to wake the device. My 64Gb home button is solid as hell.
Sent from Xiaomi Mi5 ver Karramba!

yes.i have the same issue specially on the right side of home button.
but it's nothing important i think.

mine is also hard at the middle part of the button, and though it is not important it could be irritating sometimes . It would be much appreciated if someone could help this issue with a tutorial maybe.

power button problem

hello friends, today dropped my droid turbo, after that it seems that power button is little bit fell in, so it's harder to press on it, it's no more like volume button (no click effect), but it steel works, so is there some solution to fix it without disassembling whole device? thanks

I have a not-quite-so similar issue; I dropped mine a couple of weeks ago, with a Diztronic case on it, and it landed on a brick walkway directly on the power button completely disabling any function whatsoever to the power button. I thought about opening the back of the phone and trying to replace the button with one from a previous busted quark that I still have. But instead, I have gotten by without it by using Lock Screen Widget (free from Google Play, along with other similar apps), which can place a button on the screen, either permanently or on Home screen only, to turn the screen off.
Now, to turn the screen on, Ambient Display has proven to be invaluable, plus in the Button settings of the Bliss (@NepoRood) custom rom I'm using, there is a selection to wake the phone using the volume button and I have it set to wake when it's plugged into a charger / PC. If you're not using Bliss, I'm pretty sure other custom roms have these wake features; if you have unlocked bootloader and root access, the Xposed module Gravity Box may be able to enable this as well. However, if your phone isn't rooted, I'm not sure if this wake feature would be available.
I know this may not directly answer your question, it's just what I've been using to get by. I am curious though if anyone else has had success personally replacing or repairing the power button.

A few months after I got my original Droid Turbo the power button failed. Wouldn't turn it on or off. Physically had a problem. They told me that there is an issue with their power buttons and when it gets like that they have to replace the button.
However, perhaps you do have something as simple as a dented case/cover in the metal by the button which is restricting the button from functioning as normal. If you have something small and thin like an intricate pick tool, you might be able to get down in there a little bit and see if you can go all the way around the button. If it sticks or stops, that might be a dented area.
