So today I recieved my motorola x developer edition. I noticed that the power button is really sensitive. I can barley tap on it and the display wil light up. The volume rockers on the other hand seem more natural like previous smartphones I have owned. They seem to work when I actually press them and feel the click. The power button can be tapped with no click and the screen turns on. I am a bit worried, is this normal? Do any of you have this on your moto x? or should i exchange it?
mine is working well

Been using HTC phones and we all know the power button is an important hardware.
I was thinking can we RE-ROUTE the power button to other buttons, since hitting just the power button makes me feel pain and seeing it flattened day by day...
for my previous touch pro i use registry to re-route succesfully. i wonder some geniuses here can do the same job.... please anybody
I would also be interested in this if at all possible.
Singularity0821 made a "restart phone app" : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1333740
...with right argue you could convince him to add a shut down option...
out of curiosity...why you guys restarting your phone in the first place? Last time i restarted my phone was almost 1.25 months ago. Then recently when the HTC update was pushed out. besides that..i havent really had the need to hit the power button. How often do you guys power cycle your phone and why? issues? habit? Just curious..
lol , yes we are the crazy maniac phone restarter
It's useful when you want to apply reg hacks...
Also power button is crucial to reach all usb profils...
and clearly my hd7 power button is getting weaker too http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1359132
A restart app is one thing, which makes it a bit easier to not having to use the power button for that.
But I too am "suffering" from that power button issue and honestly.. you use the power button to not only restart the phone but also to wake it up and unlock it.
Now if the power button could be relocated (even if there has to be software for it) this would be really nice before my power button entirely dies!

totally right there. We had enough pain of this!!
Reroute to the volumes button n camera button,or maybe an app that can shake in a specific way to wake the phone.
Registry setting that can re-route the wake phone button?
Imagine one Moto X 2014 upright.
If I press power button from top to middle I can power on and power off my Moto X easier. However if I press near bottom it hard to power on and power off (sometimes it worked cool and sometimes gets stuck, but only occurs at the bottom).
This happens with yours Moto X 2014? Is a defect?
I hard this phone for two weeks, but I realized this yesterday.
thank you!
I don´t have this issue with my moto x. maybe yours has a defect.
oh crap
Mine doesn't have this behavior

Nope. Mine is just fine.
Just tried, me neither

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:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dweww9_RF2E
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...
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.
I've only had the phone about a week but the volume rocker is mushy specially with the volume down. Another problem is with the left air trigger, after a bit of gaming and the phone warming up I have to press it hard to get it to respond ?
u can adjust the sensitivity of trigger
Forgot to mention I did; I also said it works fine until the phone heats up

my power button has been less responsive since day 1. volume buttons are solid though
My 1st ROGPHONE 2 with 8gb ram and 128gb rom has very clicky power and volume buttons. My 2nd ROGPHONE 2 with 12gb ram and 512gb rom has clicky volume buttons but mushy power button...
The click just isnt there. Haha.
I own the device for 3 months now, and the power button has gone mushy. I somehow fear, it won't work for the expected life-time of the device.
Anyway, I just found a way to enable double tap on display to wake up, so this would help for a while.

I did ask an Asus Technical Support in Indonesia. They said as long as it makes a sound its fine. Unless its totally silent when you press it then you will be having an issue.
Ans yes the double tap to wake or double tap to sleep is very useful. I also use Tiles to turn reboot/turn off my phone.
