Power button - One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey all, how are us?
So I just noticed that one side(the right side) of the power button is a little sunk in, surely it isn't an intended design thing, right? But then again I was wondering if anyone else has the same problem?

I dont own a one but planning to get one in the near future, i have however played with it in the shops and i can confirm that i saw a unit with this description. I honestly think it's a design issue.

Not all have it, seems a bit hit and miss. Mine does but I have had phones with great power buttons.

Ugh, that's not good, I opened up a dispute on eBay over this button (I'm very fussy about button responsiveness), but if I get a refund and buy a new one with the same button then that's going to be a big waste of time. Do you reckon that it's just the first batches and if I actually order directly from HTC it should be better?

Mine is clicky, I mean I hear the click when I press it. They probably fixed it on later batches since my phone is made in 23 april.

Yes! That's what I want, a clicky button, is it clicky like on all the width of it, mine's clicky on the left side, but not clicky at all on the right side ;/

Mines slightly lower on the right but works fine

Mine is entirely even...no sloping.

I got my One the week before official release in the UK and I can confirm there is no sloping on the button at all, nice and even.
EDIT: Mine has a build date of March 7th if thats any help

Wow well, mine's 8th of march, so it really doesn't matter when it was built I guess

My phone also has the power button recessed on the right side of the button. Makes it hit and miss when trying to turn the phone on. I took it back to the shop but they dont see it the way we see it so they just laughed at me and told me to go away. Great CS :l

Oh god, I'm lucky that the eBay seller is not such a douchebag

Thanks to you OCD bastards, I just notice my button is flatter on the right side than the left.
But let me get this straight, you guys actually try to return the phone for this reason? SMDH

Returning a phone because the button is not level is insane. The button on mine doesn't look completely flat but it works perfectly with a nice satisfying click.

I returned my first one due to recessed pb. Actually it was almost flush with top and right side was sinking even more if that's possible.. . The replacement pb is less recessed and symmetrical if you are concerned about that..

You are very welcome ^_^
I was really more concerned about it sinking even more inside, plus it's a premium handset, i do wan't it to be as perfect as possible

The right side of the power button on my phone is a bit lower than the left side. However, it is still clicky and responsive.
I don't really mind this as long as it is still responsive and clickable :laugh:

HTC Incredible S power on/off button

is it normally slanted down in the front part? and hard to press? i have a capdase case which really makes it a bit harder to press the power button. is this normal for the HTC IS's build?
I finding it frustrating aswell!
All i got from HTC customer service was that's how it is.
I'm kinda used to it, but it doesn't click enough.
thanks for the reply, so i guess that's they way it is built. good to hear that nothing is wrong with my phone, but bad that it's just that way.
I would of liked more of a feedback from the button....or bigger..ohwell
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using XDA Premium App
same goes for me. but other than that i'm finding the phone excellent. hope they get the s-off to work, but not rushing since stock is pretty good.
I have issues waking up the phone with Capdase cover too and also the Headphone doesnt connect properly sometimes due to the Capdase cover again
I have found that if you push down and toward yourself (understand) it is much easier to press, tho a little awkward to begin with

I can't say I have a problem with it, and it's not like I have need to press it very often. If it were easier to press then it might get pressed by accident.
I often go looking for the ON button on the wrong side of the phone. Lack of physical buttons makes it hard to distinguish top and bottom when I pull phone out of pocket. It is only day 3 so plenty of time to get used to things.

I use an app called no lock from the market. It disables the lock screen and you can wake the phone with the volume rocker. Less wear and tear on the volume rocker.

Defective power button?

I've received my black HTC One this morning and I'm happy!
However coming from the one X it feels as if the power button is quite recessed and hard to press. Does anyone else have the same problem? Can anyone post photos of their power buttons from the front so I can see whether it's normal?
Thank you guys. I appreciate your help
Sent from my HTC One using xda app-developers app
Mine was the same, apparently it's normal... i'd call it a shocking design flaw tbh.
I know they didn't really want anything 'sticking out the phone' but as it's the only way to switch the phone on it's a huge over sight if you ask me.

Aaand it's broken

Yes that's right my less than 24 hour old one is broken. There is a hairline crack that runs from home button to heaphone jack. By the home button there is another small crack too.
The phone was not dopped at all and has been in otterbox commuter, and pretty bc much in my hands all day. I was holding the phone and all of the sudden it cracked. I'm really just at a loss for words and dumbfounded at how this happened.

I understand it sounds ridiculous, I ran a phone store for many years and heard stories and saw things I wish I didn't. One guy hands me his phone said it doesn't work, I asked if it got wet and he tells me that his cow ate it and then threw it back up again. We go through a lot of purell. I've never had someone tell me it just broke while holding it and trying to take a screen shot, but that's what happened.
I love the phone, it was running without hiccups all day. I don't want a different phone, but I don't want to be looking at a long road of replacements either and I think most of us can agree on that, so I had to share my experience.

The way the crack is so hairline and straight it does seem believable some freak pressure point could have caused this. I have a good feeling we won't be seeing any more of these stories though =P

I'm pretty sure it was from pressing the home button, I was having some of the issues with the home and back not working properly. If you are having those issues too I would try to get and exchange while you can, hopefully this is just a freak accident.

That's not a crack in the screen. It looks like a line of pixels went out. Who's replacing it for you? Sprint? Walk into a store and tell them this happened out of nowhere. If you're still within 14 days, they have to replace it.

It is the internal LCD that is broken, not the outer glass. Sprint is giving me a fight but they will replace it, just sucks waiting and getting the run around. The more I use the phone the worse it's getting.

From the picks it doesn't look physically broken at all, it looks like, what someone else said, like a strip of pixels died. So, that could be a bad flex cable or a screen defect. maybe the otterbox was warping the phone? was it a snug fit?
I hate to be that guy, but I'll be the second story of "my screen actually did break and I have no idea how".
I will admit, the phone did take a drop off a couch on to tile; but no screen damage was done, just a slight scuff on the landing zone. That was 2 days ago.
Yesterday i'm out with some friends, doing some gardening at his place, and I pull out my phone and there's a hairline crack from the volume buttons to the home button, I'll update with a picture when I find my camera. And now today, when i woke up, I was using my phone and noticed some stuck pixles on the middle top of the screen. I bought the phone on the third and I'm not sure if this kind of thing should be covered or not; if it's even worht calling or going into sprint?
EDIT: LINK TO ALBUM HERE
I couldn't get the pixle since they are so damn small and i don't have a macro lens for the camera.
I don't even know how it could have happend while it was in my pocket or from the fall(last picture) since it wasn't broken at all that day.
I reveretd to stock rom without SU but we cannot removed the tamper markings if i contact sprint what do i do about that?
I am going to agree and say that is a pixel issue. Glass does not crack like that or a LCD screen unless it is intentionally scored.

this is what I was going to say... I wonder if the case put some kind of pressure on the phone that damaged it or messed with the ribbon cable? or just bad QC

[Q] Power Button Issue?

Picked up my One on launch day and noticed the power button was not level (as if half of it had been mashed in and didn't sit right). Granted, not a huge deal, the button just has to be pressed harder, however I could see it becoming a problem over the next year or so. Gonna try to get a replacement tomorrow. Just wondering if anyone else had a similar issue?

I've got the same thing. It doesn't require any extra force but its noticeably angled.

Mine is the same, and I was in 3 today and their display model was the same so it's not an issue for me, the button still feels very useable
I went and got a replacement today, and the replacement heats up to about 115 degrees within 5-10 minutes of use. Every setting and app the same as on the first. I called the guy at Sprint and he said he'd take a look. I just can't seem to win.

Lol I don't even have the device. Still debaiting whether or not to get this or wait for s800 htc two lol

My one has some annoying defects

I bought mine with the htc deal a few weekends ago. Ive had it for a while now, and there are two things i have noticed. The area of the back button bends ina littlw if i push on it, it will go in and bend a little and it is very disturbing to me.
On the bottom right of the screen, there is a small streak of light, probably from the home button or something, undwr the screen and it goes a good inch and a half in the screen, on an angle. I think it may have gotten bigger since I have had the phone.
Does anyone else have either of these problems, and what shod I do? I bought it at newegg wireless, not the official sprint store.

take it back, it's defective
Unfortunately i cant provide pictures because the back button thing is not really detectable in a picture, and neither is the white streak of light, i tried. But i bought mine at the newegg wireless store online and it was more than 14 days ago so is there any way of them replacing it?

contact with HTC, say there's some hardware issues for your mobile phone,maybe they will provide a new one to replace it
