I have a question for though who has the 8.0 version.
I have a situation with the main home button, it may not be a problem, but just the way it was made, when you press the home button whiles in a app, or the second menu, you have to press directly in the center of the button to return to the home page, at first I had to press twice, and I also notice if you press softly on the edge of the button left or right, there is no reaction (the button does produce a click, as the button seem to be pressed).
is this the same with anyone.

I don't have this problem with mine. I suggest you might have a defective device.

The problem is hard to explain properly, but I think it's normal as my friends tablet is the same.
Lets put it this way.
Have you sometime even pressed the hardware home button, knowing you have pressed it with a click noise thinking it registered a press, then you noticed nothing has happened, then you pressed it the second time and this time the press reacted.
This is the situation with me, then I tested the it further and pressed the button slightly to the right or the left, with no reaction, then you press it direct in the middle and all is fine, it also depend on how firmly you press it.
I think the button is made that way especially since it has the finger touch sensor in the button.
i know what you mean. had this problem one time with an s4. the problem is, the button is not exactly placed on the switch inside. if you press not exactly in the middle, it hangs a little bit. If you can change, change it.

I actually think it's normal, and as you say that the press must be in the middle, I'm ok with that, if it's on the side, then that a very good reason to change it, but it's on the middle, what can I ask for.
I'm just curious whether this situation exist with other units, and I will test this out later on today with many of the display units available at all the in store.

NO such issues on t715..lightly pressed the very corners of the home button and it does what it is supposed to (left and right side...using fingers overlapping the main body and button and then just fingernail itself)
works just fine
Thanks for the reply, I actually see various result, may be mine has a glass protector which is seems like you have to press deeper, and I don't want to remove it just to test it.
Any way having to press right at the center is not really a bad idea, and there won't be any accidental press.
If anything is actually wrong, there is the warranty, or I can just change the home button myself, plenty of spare part available to buy in china.
Just need to know the proper way to open the tablet.
I have T710. The Home button works normally. Just press and it goes home.
I have a question for though who has the 9.7 version.
I have a situation with the main home button and the sleep/wake up button, it may not be a problem, but just the way it was made, when you press the home button and the sleep/wake up button while the tablet is locked in the right side some colorful lines apperas for approx. 0,1 s. Can someone help me with this?

I don't really use the camera on my Kaiser, but I've just notice that on pushing the camera button it does not start up. No problem selecting from the program list.
Check that the button was set up correctly in the settings screen. I then changed the button to operate another program, but that doesn't work either. Somethings up with the button itself. I do get the "audio click" confirming the button has been pressed but nothing else.
Any ideas?

From what you say it sounds like you are well aware of how that switch works and that it has two levels of operation (half press and full press). With full press - required to start the camera, it really is a deep press, going down below casing level.
I assume though you know this and have tried pushing in as deep as it will go. It is obviously at least partially working hence the audio sound.
To be honest a hard reset might well fix this and if not the a repair under warranty for a hardware fault could be done.

That's it. It works now. What's the half press for?

Half a press focuses the camera and then a full press takes the picture.
Previous models didn't have auto-focus

Yes indeed, it's also configurable in settings so you can change the half and full press behaviour.

Well, I don't actually want a power button to be honest, I want the power button action changed. I've lost count of the amount of times I have switched the phone off to go to bed and then accidentally touched the power button causing the phone to restart. Then I have to wait until it's booted-up before I can switch it off again. OK, I know I shouldn't drink so much that I become ham-fisted but in my defence, that brings its own - entirely unrelated - benefits.
What I want (knew I'd get there eventually) is to have to press the power button for like one second before the phone powers-up. I'm happy switching the screen on and off with a single short press, but if it already takes a long-press to switch it off, why can't it be a long press to switch it on? How hard can it be?
here you go: http://www.fuzemobility.com/?p=1751
This will remap your power button on a long press and show you how to poweroff without it (see the comments there for the app)
I'm sorry but I don't think this is what I'm looking for.
Visualise: The phone is off (not the screen, the PHONE), properly switched off. I want to have to press the power button for at least one second to start the phone up. From what I was reading on your link, the button presses are only recognised when the phone is already powered-up.
You don't want the button to switch the screen off too? Otherwise I don't get it.

Don't think that's possible. Btw, you could always shutdown the phone by taking out the battery No need to wait for it to boot.
Hi all. I have a small question. When I press the left Soft key (Just under START)in my HTC S730, the screen (LCD) just above the button goes "inward" then when I release the button, it goes out (to normal). Its kind of the same effect if its a touchscreen. My friends HTC S730 does the same thing. Can anyone with an HTC S730 tell me if yours does the same thing. Its clear when you have the background with a black color. I don't know if this is normal or maybe me and my friend bought bad ones. Thanks.
No ONE?
I see that people are reading my post. But no one with an HTC S730 can reply??? Come on guys.
DOES THE SCREEN JUST ABOVE THE "START" BUTTON GOES INWARD WHEN PRESSING THE LEFT SOFT KEY BUTTON????????
Thanks.
had some test right now
if i press the sx softkey normally nothing happens
but if i press it with some power (i.e as when i tapping on the desk to hear the woodden noises or playng a key on an old piano) the display goes inward
but it is a millesimal issue, nothing to be notable if you didn't say me! (i had asked to test to my brother too, without advise he about the screen "game", he cannot see any differences)
is our screen "game" mostly evident?
(maybe it could be a fabbric disguise or an accidental fall?)
Thanks
thanks for the reply. And sorry you did not noticed this until now because of me. But mine is very noticeable. Whenever I press the START soft key button I see the inward effect. Does not need to be a hard press to show. I just wanted to know if this is normal with the device built. Thanks again for the reply.
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.
I just got my Mi 5 and am disappointed to have gotten one with a wobbly home button. I expected the power and volume buttons to be wobbly but not the home button. Its loose on the right side especially making it seem like the whole button is slanted. Anyone have a similar issue? Is it worth the trouble of returning it or should I just live with it and hope that eventually it will even out from use?
I have the same, doesn't really bother me. If anything I'm slightly relieved it won't be prone to button stuck problems
On my unit it feels really solid. No wobbles but it's extremely hard to press up to the point where I wished it was a bit more loose. Happy the phone supports double tap to wake cause the force required to press the home button is too damn high.
Thats exactly why i have 2 tap to wake the device. My 64Gb home button is solid as hell.
Sent from Xiaomi Mi5 ver Karramba!
yes.i have the same issue specially on the right side of home button.
but it's nothing important i think.
mine is also hard at the middle part of the button, and though it is not important it could be irritating sometimes . It would be much appreciated if someone could help this issue with a tutorial maybe.
