ok it doenst happen when i lay the phone down on the surface and click on the screen it works perfectly
however when i hold it with my right hand and touch the middle of the screen with my thumb
it opens up phone dialer, or appdrawer or vibrante cause it clicks the capacitive button.
when i hold it with my left hand it gets a little bit better but it still does.
if i hold the nexus carefully and touch the screen , it works, when i hold it like this
the things gets better when i put a thick case like otterbox..
is this a hardware issue? ( found similar video on youtube)
my phone is rooted but can i still get a replacement phone?( already put everything back to stock)
and if i do get a replacement, are they going to charge me with anything?
my current nexus one trackball doenst scroll up but everything else works.
How many of you guys got a replacement even though your phone was rooted?
Make sure part of your hand doesn't touch the screen.

it's a hardware issue...
all you can do is not grip the phone too closely to the edge of the screen. It registers touches even if you are not touching the screen completely. But that to be a problem you have to have giant hands
I've had this happen to me once since I had it from launch day. It did happen with my Otterbox commuter series, and a clarivue screen protector. But I turned it off and on again and it was fine.
anyway as stevio jobsio whould say, you're holding it wrong

ok so it is a hardware issue?
no i am not touching any part of the screen. i made sure i wasnt touching the screen.
but it does happen when i hold my phone closely to the edges.
i never had this kind of issues with other touch screen phones..
Well I dunno... One finger at a time and your good to go unless you got fat hands lol

I can confirm that my device too does this. When lying in bed I browse the net with one hand and try and scroll....the edges of the touchscreen seem to register depression when the chassis is pushed or gripped too hard also.
It's a minor irritation to me, but I agree it is a hardware issue.
Hi..I got my HD7 from another user and the power button seems too pushed down and doesn't seem tactile enough.
Does anybody know if there is any way I can get the power button replaced or buy parts online ?
Also can the HTC Repair people do it ?? Any experiences or ideas ??
Hi!
Same problem for me. Button seems like pushed in and not responsive enough, you have to really push on it to bring phone back from sleep.
Have any of you tried to fix this button?

someone suggested to have a rubber body glove cover...which has a raised edge for the buttons...I don't like it so i won't follow it.
I'm having the same problem. It's not that annoying, but sometimes I really hate it. What about a dismantle and see if you can somehow repair it yourself?

that's what I am trying to figure out. But don't you guess...we need to have a replacement part for the button or something...
I am still waiting for replies from others...will also call HTC Repair center on Monday.
Reply back and tell us what they told you. The button is probably just pushed down a little, I don't think there's need for a new button.
They're all like this, they are just indented more into the case to prevent accidental power-ons, replacing it will be the same.

that just sounds stupid and makes no sense. if that was the case all phone manufacturers would give pushed down buttons to prevent accidental power ons !
so common think of something new !
---
I have compared the button with a brand new HD7 the button on it is far more better in terms of tactability !! i guess over time its soon gonna become worse day by day...thats just how it is...
Apparently you make no sense. There is nothing wrong with the power button, it is just located futher down into the case than the other buttons hence the reason while it feels like there is not much tactile effect. I did not say it was a "pushed down" button, i said the button was indented more into the case meaning again it is mounted more or lower into the case to prevent the phone from accidentally power-on while in pocket or hand. And yes, other manufactures have incorporated this concept into there designs, look at nokia phones.

Trying to take screen shots in Draw Something I realized that holding home and pressing power and volume up at the same time immediately puts the phone into Load by keypress mode! Arggh. The buttons being exactly opposite makes this much to easy a thing to do accidentally in my opinion.
Just wondering.
I never screenshots that way...
Using the home button on my Galaxy S, half the time the home button would activate and the screenshot would end up being of something that you didn't want (Home screen or task manager).
I usually use the S Pen.
I've also done the edge of the palm swipe a few times too when I couldn't be bothered getting the pen out.
The SPen is the most reliable method for me though.

I find the button on the S-Pen really hard to find. I think I will do something to make a raised bump on it.

hi guys i am one of the people who had water damage but the problem of my phone is different:
when the water entered in the phone i noticed the red stripe under the charger flap and the water behind the camera...
so i disassembled the back cover and i put into the rice for 2 days...now i have only one strange problem :the power button sometimes work and sometimes not and the up button work as volume+ and power button...the down button work properly :/
there risk of oxidation? what i should do?
P.S. i opened this topic because i didn t see other people with my same problem
Theres a few threads on water damage. Service centre job or use apps instead of hard keys.

TBH, I think the fact you need to be asking on here shows you don't have the technical aptitude for disassembling things so you might just have to live with the fact you've screwed your Phone unfortunately. Your initial problem is quite common but I've never seen it recommended to take the back off before putting it in rice.
There's definitely apps that can replace your power button features, as for volumes maybe there's a widget, just browse the Play Store.

Hey all
After reading this forum for ages I took the plunge on a Z1, and am not disappointed!
I had one question, if anyone is able to help.
The hardware buttons light up with a nice white LED.
However, the one on the left (select open apps) is much, much brighter than the one on the right (back).
In fact, it's almost as if the right hand one doesn't work at all.
Is this the same as everyone else's phone, or does mine have a defect?
Many thanks to anyone that can compare theirs.
Uri
P.S: I have the grey one with the black front, which may make this more noticeable.

Is a hardware issue, I think.
My 2 buttons has the same light intensity and is a good intensity.
In my previous prone, a OnePlus One, I have suffered this issue: the back button had a lower light intensity compared to the other buttons.

Thanks very much for the quick reply
To be honest, everything else about the phone is perfect (screen, fingerprint scanner, buttons don't wobble, etc), so for the first time in my life I might just live with "almost-perfect".
I had too many issues with iPhones and am worried if I swap it out, then the replacement will have some other defect like screen bleed, etc, etc.

If you can live with this issue: Don't return it!
I also haven't returned my OPO. Is a small detect I think
Easy to fix
I had this issue too, but it is easy to fix. When you open your phone backcover, you only have to remove the speaker and reposition the led. The led is loose in a cable and so you can reposition it until the buttons have the same intensity and fix it with some glue.
On my phone the intensity is now exactly the same and i only needed half an hour for it.
When you remove the backcover warm it up a bit and use a sucker to avoid scratches in the frame.
Well I can confirm that I have the same issue on my white Zuk! But it's not very noticeable so i'm keeping it like it is!

Wasn't very hard to remove, i didn't brake any clips. Use a sucker and as soon as you see a little gap, use a plastic pick or your fingernails to gently pull up the backcover.
After i opened it i removed the tape from the phone and the backcover. After the work is done you can simply close the Backcover without tape or something. I didn't use tape and had no gaps afterwards.

Hi guys, even I have noticed the same, the back button light is dimmer than task button. Can somebody suggest if I should get it replaced?

Same for me. back button light intensity is very low compared to menu button. Its not a big issue. My friend also having same issue. you may get same problem in that replacement unit also. So,better keep as it is.
@arunpkrt and @aniketsabarad If you don't mind there is also an option inside the Zuk Z1 lights configuration to switch off this little ugly menu LED and back LED. The function itself stays active and the touch area is large enough to hit the sensitive zone blinded easily .

You guys are right. I faced this problem initially. The phone was perfect, I set it up nicely and was using it. But after a day or two this back button led issue started frustrating me. I applied for a replacement and was surprised to see that even the replacement unit had same issue. So really no point getting it replaced. If it really bothers, you can take the risk to open up the back case as other members suggested.
I also have the same issue but its not important because im using onscreen keyboard.
Overall is perfect but one thing is missing. We still dont have marshmallow to enjoy before Android N release.
Edit: Happy 500th post to me! God Bless!
I don't have the issue, but if ever I had it, it won't matter as I disabled the hardware buttons once I started using mine. 5.5" is too much of a screen and the 3 on screen buttons don't take up that much space. I am much worried about pressing the hard home button because I read from some users that it failed after 2 or three months of using the phone. I only use it for finger print. No need to press it. Double tap to wake, double tap to sleep. No hard buttons to wear.

Mine has the same problem, if I where you I would just keep it that way and don't go to all the trouble to send it back.
You can also Disable the lights thats what I did
