Hi guys,
I got this very irritating problem. My ace randomly triggers home button (it minimizes apps when I am in one or triggers list of apps (in Jelly bean 4.2.2). I am pretty sure its not ROM related. When I press on battery cover (in the part that corresponds with the home button area, but on the back side of the phone), then the home button is triggerd just like I was pressing the home button, even if I am not. Does someone has the same problem? Will the replacement of the 2 year back cover (which was many times taken out because of battery and now its ) help or its HW problem somehow? Can someone please test it?
1. Take the battery cover out
2. Press sligtly with your finger on the plastic part that is on the other side of home button
3. See if the home button function is triggered like you were actually pressing the home button on the display side (even if ur not).
4. Repeat the steps 1-3 with your battery cover on (press on battery cover in the same area
Thanks for the tips and feedback.

Hello all,
I got my phone when they first came out on Jan 5th and have just ran into my first issue. It seems that the power button has become really hard to press (like it is lower than it used to be). I have to press down just right to get it to register. I know that others have been having power button issues and was wondering if anyone has ran into this? Any suggestions on actions to take? What were others peoples power button issues?
Thanks
Yea, I started to use No lock from the market its free. With this program you can use the trackball to unlock you phone or bring it from sleep mode you will not have to use the power button as often.
Hope this helps
Is your button hard to press or just not registering?
Sometimes I would have to push it more then once. So I don't believe its really hard to push but, more so just not registering all the time.
It's not to often I had that problem. but, I did notice you have to use the button alot so I didn't want to wear it down.
Mine used to be like that and then eventually it became extremely hard to press. Practically took 10-15 tries using force to get it to turn on. I sent it back to HTC and now it's more responsive than when I first got it. Took about 4 days total.
Leo Laport's nexus's power button broke. Just send it back.
It could be just dust under the power button. I just took off the back cover and blew at the space under the power button. It's working every time now. Worth a shot before you send it in anways.
I have the same issue, hard to press and sometimes not registering at all.
Unfortunately trackball wake is not available for froyo yet. This would be a fine workaround for me.
I was having problems with the power button not working well, but it seems to be much better under the new FRF72 Froyo build.

+1 on the excellent suggestion.
The rear battery cover is integral to the power button assembly. It keeps it aligned on the fore aft axis. So dust and crap therein seems to restrict it at times. If you have power button issues, at very least remove the battery cover to see if releasing the friction it creates improves things. The power button becomes somewhat wobbly and loose with the rear cover off.
Can anybody recommend an app what puts a lock icon widget on the homescreen? My case don't allow to press power button, and button savior is too confusing for my mother.

Howdy, pardners!
I on the other hand wonder, whether there is possibility to disable onscreen lock - my back button is hardly reachable so i am not worried that it will get pressed. Sliding the screen everytime i just what to know the time or what ever is however quite annoying. Any chance to disable only touch screen, no screensaver - just Laucher home screen with clock, calendar..., unlocking with back button or quick some combination of others?
Would be magical !

In regards to the first post: have you looked in nook touch tools? There may be a way to set one of the side buttons as the power button, therefore locking it.
Good luck!
I dont know if anyone has it too but:
Go to button savior, check the box that says android recent task.(just bottom of the first page).
And everytime that i press the n button long, it goes to lockscreen. i dont know why. Also long pressing the home button on the button saviour does the same thing too.
The power button and the "n" button go to different electrical sections than the four hard side buttons
The two buttons go to dedicated input pins, the four buttons are part of a scanning matrix.
Although it might be possible to statically enable the whole matrix so that you could detect a button push without scanning (while asleep)
it seems that they would have not handled the buttons separately if that were the case.
In short, any button can be assigned to power and put the Nook to sleep.
Although I'm not sure if any button would be able to wake it?
Thought I'd share this with you guys.. it is already mentioned somewhere else in the forum but it's buried in a long thread somewhere, very hard to find.
Recently I started having a problem with my N7000. The power button was not working properly. Only the faintest of touches, would result in the phone turning off. Sometimes, the button didn't work at all. Also, the phone rebooted itself several times a day...
For me anyway, it was simply dust/dirt around the power button.
1) remove back cover, then use a jewelry screwdriver to take out 9 screws. Then unclip the phone from the frame. To unclip the frame, take a look at how it's done in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6CJy71_9Ok (1:52 mark)
2) wipe away the visible dirt/dust, and blow hard around the power button, volume button and usb port...
3) reassemble.
Hopefully, like mine, your N7000's power button is now functioning again. :fingers-crossed:
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...
Hi everyone,
So as I'm sure everyone is well aware, the buttons on the S6 Active are huge and very easy to press (probably designed to be used with gloves). Problem is, the phone frequently turns on in my pocket (I think) because the power button is somehow getting pressed. I'm looking for an app or setting that will require the power button to be double pressed to turn the screen on, or something to that effect. Has anyone found anything like this to save power?
Thanks for any help.
Mine did it a lot before I got a Supcase, now the buttons are a bit harder to press while in my pocket. I do notice that my phone screen turns on when a SMS comes thru, sometimes it'll do some crazy things if it registers touches.
Try putting a glass screen protector on. Pressing the home button brings up the lock screen, add does hitting the blue active button.
