I am most likely just going to take my phone back to the store soon since I've had it for less than two weeks. I want to see if anyone else has this issue though. My power button is really mooshy. There is basically no tactile feedback when you push it. It hardly feels like I've pushed the button when it activates. Anyone else? Should the button have any sort of click to it?
Same here. 3rd replacement and this is the worst power button out of all of them and i shouldn't have to use s2w or dt2w
Don't have that problem. It clicks.

Mushy sounds yummy. It's a good thing (i just had cake)
Lol no it's not good. Buttons flick because of a small piece of .. man hard to explain, it's like a small bump that goes up and down.. and makes noises?
I'm out of ways to explain this haha but basically, they bump is what creates contact between the button and the input or system. Mushy means it's broken and the button may not work later in my experience.
Hope some of that made sense

I knew if i didnt install bulletproof kernel, my power button was destined for doom...
No issues myself (yet)
Besides it being so annoying with only 1 stock "wake up" method on this phone.....

the power button of my first one was also very crappy
it was go down into the One and you could press it only with your nails. very annoying :/ Went to the T-Shop and returned it. one day later they called me that my new One ist already there with a working power button.
At the HTC One T-mobile General forum there's also a thread about the quality management of the HTC One.

Has anybody's home button become really hard to push down?
When I push mine down, the initial click does not do anything, I have to further press down on the button pretty firmly.

Mine is fine, an easy press. Sounds like it's misaligned a bit.
A little update: the home button has completely stopped working
If it is misaligned, do you know how I could align it back?
I disassembled the my note today, but the button is actually part of the screen module and I did not want to take that apart.
Thanks.
Mine is also working great. I think you may consider sending it to Samsung to check it out
Yeah, I think that's what will most likely have to happen.
I purchased the phone from handtec and I've already sent them an email asking about the warranty and sending it back for repair.
I just hope the return postage won't cost an arm and a leg.
Mine is fine too.
This is why I'm afraid of buying an international version, I hate physical buttons because they can break or wear down. I also want the exzynos processor though, so I don't know if I should get the AT&T version.

Well I got the Infuse 4G now, so I only have one way anyhow. lol Do you know if CM9 has an option to add screen buttons? If so, then who cares if the Home button dies? I'll just use on screen.

In my opinion, use your phone heavily for the first 30 days. If it doesn't break by then, you've surely had a 95% chance of getting any manufacturing defects out of the way. The rest will just be usual wear and tear.
I mean, you do know that the homescreen button was likely designed to survive a crap load of presses right? Like thousands and thousands of presses.
Think of button phones not too long ago. I was sporting a w800i that lasted 4 years and the buttons were all functioning (and still do today but it's in cold storage) and I was pressing them almost unconsciously even though the phone was locked. It ain't that hard to just transfer those old school tech over.
Just pick one, and enjoy the phone. But strictly probability speaking, your AT&T power button should wear out faster. =)

Very true, and you're right about the power button. I am using the Inspire, I not the Infuse, and the lock button has started wearing off so it's harder to press.
How difficult/easy is it to reach the power button for you?
I am thinking about upgrading from HTC One X to HTC One. What is holding me back is the fact that HTC one is slightly taller and the power button on the opposite side.
Although I am right handed, I mostly use the phone on my right hand, which goes against most reports I read (right handed users handling the phone with their left hand) and in that regard it should be easier to reach the power button.
I was considering a mod like: BlackBerry 10 style Lockscreen mod but it still requires pressing of the power button on the variation available right now, unless there is a true working variation that I am not aware of or being developed right now.

Thanks pal.
Damn tech reviewers make it sound hard. Like I said I believed it would be easier since I use HTC One X with my right hand.
A proper bb10 unlock like would be nice though.
Off to order the One for me.

on ebay they do ones that just cover the screen and not buttons thats what i use
Try this,
settings > language & keyboard > htc sense input > advanced > calibration tool
see if that will make the response better.
I had this trouble but the new update fixed the response for me

I use trickdroid. Is there a solution?
The home and back button are not good.

I'm on the sprint version (not updated yet) and I was having the same issues with response - I'm using a screen protector. It could be just placebo, but when I use power saver or if I turn the vibration on the buttons off, they seem to always work. I've been testing it for the last fifteen minutes without a mispress.
Maybe the rest of you could try it and see as well?

That's the most current available on AT&T. To get the actual most current you'd have to root and install custom ROM on 1.29....13

I just put on my otterbox screen protector and now I am having troubles with the capacitive buttons. No issues prior to the screen going on.
I'll have to try out the SPGs, I haven't had a problem with them back with my last cell.
I have a Rogers SIM card. What version is Roges on? If it is higher, will the Rogers SIM card update my software?
I think skin oils are causing a drop in capacitive button response. Wipe the button area clean with a sleeve and it should start working again.

To me it happens mostly with the back button. Drives me crazy in tapatalk. I'm not buying the screen protector as the issue. I had the issue before and after putting one on.

As soon as I disabled vibration, the back button started working ALL THE TIME for me.

I've used it like this for quite a bit longer...and while it's a great temporary solution it's not fool proof.
In my experience the buttons need to be "reset" every once in a while...power switch, long press, vibration switched.
But I do think taking off the vibration helps the buttons to not mess up as often. I recommend people to try it for sure.

Updates are in the settings under "system updates"
Currently the updates for the htc one have pushed to the euros, in the state's we're waiting for the carriers to release it.
Your other alternative would be to root your phone and flash a rom with the update fixes.
Hello,
Just bought the HTC One three days ago. Everything's been fine with it, until this morning. I barely have installed any apps, I have like 7 pictures, and some music.
Whenever my phone is asleep, or the screen is "off", I hit the power button to wake it up, and seriously, without exaggerating, my wait is anywhere from 3 seconds to 6. I've already tried a hard reset and a soft reset.
Does anyone know the cause of this? Has this happened to anyone else? I can't seem to find ANYTHING on it. I'm aware a little lag is ok, but 5 seconds? Seriously? That seems unreasonable.
Call it a wake up delay, wake up lag, power button lag, power button delay, whatever.
I'm seriously concerned and doubting this phone at this point. I can already imagine the headache its going to be to convince Sprint or HTC its defective.
Go back to Sprint before the 14 days expire.
A lot of us are learning the hard way how bad HTC is, and how little care they have for quality.
When you get a good One, you have a great phone. Like, best in the business. Amazing, even. Good luck getting a good One.
Well, so far I see you guys have a love/hate relationship with HTC. Does anyone have a similar experience with my problem, though? :crying:

*If
I've heard that some people had to go through 5 replacements before they got a device that was only minorly defective.
OP, you have entered the world of HTC (or a lot of Android hardware in general). Now you are stuck in it for 2 years. Take a deep breath, and lower your standards.
Damn. I'm not liking where this is going. I just can't believe no one else has had this problem. I can't find anything on it.
If they don't let you exchange it (which they definitely should), then try rooting it and using a different ROM. Idk if that would help seeing as you're on stock and the ROM should work perfectly

Hello,
I got my Nokia 8 a few days ago and I don't know if it's the same for everyone but my volume up/down buttons are very hard to press depending on the angle I use to push on them. It's alright when there is no case on the phone, but with one of my cases it's very hard to press and with the other one I just can't use these buttons at all.
I was wondering if it was a fault with my phone or if they're all made like this.
Thanks for the help!
Hmm, at my side all is fine. For me it's nearly the same as at my HTC 10.
Yes, my powerbutton has to be pressed at a very specific angle upwards towards the screen. If pressed level with the side it doesn't depress without excessive force and makes a really nasty sound when you do this.
I would return it and demand a replacement instantly. All buttons work perfectly on mine.

I returned my phone but due to **** regulations in this godforsaken home of Nokia I had to send it to Warranty Service (a DOA device so to say).
This is **** customer service on all levels but that is not Nokia (HMD's) fault as so but the store I purchased it from.
Mine works fine too.
Im using my Nokia 8 with a Terrapin Nokia 8 Case
I sent mine back yesterday so hopefully should get a fully working one soon.

Very same issue here. The buttons are kind of sunk in the side of the device, it's a bit weird, and some of the cases can't cope. Annoying, to say the least.

I made a little hole into the case. Now it works. It is a cheap case, so I am not really bothered.
Thank you anyway, I don't know why I didn't even think of sending it back.
