All of a sudden the power button won't lock my screen. If I hold it I will still get the power menu. I have tried resetting multiple times and no fix. What's going onnnn?
ME TOO
I have the same problem with my phone. I tried so many things to fix this but I couldn't find out why. But I did recently root my galaxy s5 and it was working for a while until the button did not bring up the lock screen anymore. I'v had this for a few days now. If you fixed yours already pls explain to me how I do it.
Glad im not the only one who has this problem.
I found a solution

Hi guys,
I have a HTC tilt and overnight something wierd happened to it. I switched it on and its was scrolling through the home tab by itself and now thats fixed but its scrolling through all the options in the start menu when it is opened. I flashed a new rom to it, but the same problem persists. When i press the power button to send the phone into suspend mode, the screen switches back on in 2 seconds. I would really appreciate if you guys could help me out. Thanks
check if ur jog wheel on the right hand side is stucked or what. that the only thing I can think of whoich scrolls without u touching.
I have tried that, it doesnt seem to be the problem because when its scrolling and i press any other button, it stops scrolling till the phone is on. But when i put it in suspend mode and it switches back on, the same problem. I dont know what could be causing this problem.
then i think its like a circuit problem or something, cause it means that something is being pressed at all times on a board, which excites screen and scrolling . did u put it in ur pocket and sat tight or something ! j/k
and u also said that it persists even with change of rom, so I think it might be a hard ware problem !
hmm..it did fall down like a week ago, but the problem just showed up last night. Do you think i should open it up and check it out from the inside. But if something is being pressed at all times then the pressing of a button shouldnt stop the scrolling and the phone shouldnt come out of standby by itself.

okay if it is in warranty dont open it up, even if isnt in warranty,uless u know how to fix it dont open it.
okay, so in first post u said, it was scrolling on home plugin and u stopped it. can u let me know how ?
well i just played around with it a little bit, did a couple of soft resets and took out the battery put it back in, and then did a hard reset. With that it stopped scrolling on the home plugin but then i cliked the start menu and it was scrolling there, then i flashed the rom and it was scrolling through everything i opened, contacts menu options and what not. It only stopped when i pressed a button and then it was fine till i didnt put it in suspend mode. After i put it in suspend mode it switches back on with 2 sec and the same situation. When i leave the screen on, it switches after some time but the QWERT keyboard under it is always on as in you can see the lights on from the small space.
anything, anyone, i did find a temporary fix, it i went into flight mode and switched on the wireless and the bluetooth. The pda remained in suspend mode and the automatic scrolling stopped. But I need a permanent fix.
This has been the most unhelpful forum EVER....
according to what you say it appears that problem is caused by your radio (radio) rom
try different radio first
try different rom second
best wishes,,

I have tried doing that, i changed from Duttys Hybrid Rom to the HTC tytn rom and i m pretty sure that changed the radio too...But i still have the same problem. I have heard theres a fix by ATT for the tilt when it does something like this, but i cant find it.
Any Help ?
not really try the xda wiki section
i never heard of that fix but try it - you dont have much choices
good luck
I just purchased a Tilt yesterday and I'm having the exact same problem. Sorry I don't have any answers but just wanted to let you know it's not just you. I'm planning on just exchanging the phone tomorrow since obviously no one has any clue what the problem is. Anyway...good luck friend.
Pez
Hey,
Ya i have heard of these cases, apparently ATT has a fix for it, could you be kind enough to ask them for the fix. I would really appreciate it.
Thanks.
yah i have the same problem as of the past few days if anyone can find this fix let me know please.
any news anyone ?
so now my phone wont hit the down button that much ne more its just the up button now, so im beginning to think its not hardware issue
Hi All,
I have HTC salsa, few months its Power button stop working on gentle press and now its totaly gone.
And if I left my phn switched off after 20 24 hrs. its starts automatically..if I remove its battery and re insert it, phone starts automatically.
I go to service center but he said that button is connected to mother board thus whole mother board will be replaced and it will cost some 90 $.
So is there anyone who can help me or faced any such issue?
one more consiquence of this problem is that if my phone's gone in sleep mode then its ring become active and the only way to get the screen is either I have to call on ,y number or plug in the charger.
So is there any app which can disble that ring.
Phone is running on Original rom nothing special treatment is provided to it and I cant do anything on it as I dont have PC connectivity for that mobile.
Please help me.
Thanks

Anybody having problems with the power button not working?
It doesn't work at all no matter how hard I push. At times it works without issue, other times I have to use the camera button to wake my phone.
Anyone else with this?
Defective unit.

Did you both ever opened the phone, maybe for repair or the.prevoius owner? Maybe check the "outside" when opening phone (and removing LCD) many times the button flex cable gets damaged or get a small crack so it stop working after some time... The button flex is mounted very easily, maybe just need to get it back right into position and make sure it holds the contacts. The whole flex is just 6euro, repairing easy.. Just follow "ifixit"

I had a problem with the power button on my phone recently. It was off, just like you describe, guys.
But the combination: power button + vol UP, to force a reboot of the phone worked and after booting, the button was working and the problem never occurred again.
Hello, I see its a common issue, many lumia users got stuck with blank screen after migrating apps.
MAny claim it resolves with hard reset, does anyone have a trick to get it work without hard reset??
thanks!
You might have success just waiting for itself to update, or reboot it via vol down + power.

rebooted many times, no way. I want to keep from hard reset due my whatsapp is on a fake number
just goto action center>settings>personalization>start> and change from full to tiles. also switch off show more tiles and change the background to some pic.
you can revert back to full once the start screen is loaded.

Disable the SD card in your phone. For me, that's the solution so far. Been working fine for almost an hour. Otherwise, every time I locked the phone. I had to soft reset as it would get stuck on loading screen. I am using 1520 btw.

For it worked by removing all folders from start-screen.
If you "never" can access the start screen, try starting cortana (ie the search button) "many times", ie repeatedly smash the button for start, then repeatedly smash the home-screen button. Worked for me
Hi all!
First of all, I'm not sure if I'm doing everything right here, so excuse me if I'm doing something wrong
I'm new.
I've had my HTC One M7 from aliexpress.com for 2 weeks and 2 days now.
Have had great fun of it, nothing seemed wrong, was working perfectly. There were some rumours about an unofficial android-version that was put on this phone, which might be the problem..
Everytime I turn the phone screen on it thinks I hold/doubletap/tap/repeatedly tap the home button, and sometimes when I power it off it thinks I hold the volume down-button and takes a screenshot.. When I finally get to type my 4-digit pin code, it unlocks, goes to home screen, does the same again. Seems like my phone thinks I'm using the buttons..
I've changed settings (in a legit official way via Settings) of my home button to Hold for menu, Hold and swipe up for Google Search, and double-tap for recent apps..
Have tried factory reset twice, have tried rebooting it over and over, have tried almost anything.. I'm at the point of buying a new phone now, because I fear that HTC will not help me because it's an unofficial version of Android.. Any suggestions?
Everytime I open an app it just closes it and goes to home, sometimes before it does that it opens recent apps.. After that it just freezes and I can't touch it. Sometimes after waiting a couple of seconds, I can tap the screen and maybe it's fast enough to open for example WhatsApp, and then it just shuts off and does what I just stated.
Really weird!
I'm quite desperate. Could a custom ROM (Cyanogen or Android lollipop) fix this perhaps?
Please, help
Gr Patrick

This is purely a hardware issue. Your home button is somehow always in "on" position. Given it's a capacitive button, it could be the digitizer or a scratch on the home button area

This is somewhere about what I mean, read my reply also.
This might even be closer to what I mean.
Should I just send it back to HTC or can I fix this myself, with your heroic help?

Seems like just the thing I wrote. Considering it's a hardware issue you could replace the screen-digitizer assembly by yourself if you are familiar with that kind of work. I tried once on my old Desire and fried the motherboard, so I don't have cojones to do it [emoji6]
