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.

My finger hurts since I have to press the power button (small and flat) too many times a day to wake the diamond from sleep. you can argue that I can set the phone not to sleep but sleep is a must to save battery. using all keys to wake it up can cause any keys to be easily hit by accident, which drains battery fast too. Power button is meant to be used rarely, like the PC reset button.
is there a better way to wake up the diamond? is it possible to configure ONLY the OK (center) button to do this? like the iphone, you just press the OK button. it is big and does not hurt as much?
How exactly do you keep pressing the power button till your finger hurts?

hit it once does not hurt but every time it go to sleep and I have to hit the button to wake it up. that is when it hurts.
let say I set it to go to sleep every 40 sec. how many time does it go to sleep in an hours? at least couple times.

I've found that the pressure required on the Power Button can depend on the particular Diamond. I've owned two US Diamonds and the first had a difficult Power Button while the second was much easier. Either way, another option to turn it on is to pull out the stylus a short distance - this will wake the Diamond as well. As far as using the center of the D-Pad - I've no idea . . .

even though using the stylus is less painful but it takes more steps: get finger nail in the gap, pull it out, then push it back in. if you do these steps many time over an hour, it would be tidious task.
On my diamond responsivity of the power button depends strongly on where I'm pressing it. You can try to press it different ways and find out where you get most tactile feedback of the micro-switch. I have the impression that for me it is when I'm pressing from behind, more on the left of it.
You guys are insanely lazy...

lol i have to concur
I think that would be a very good feature for the phone. I am sure most of us would use it.

start>settings>system> Key Lock .. then set to "Do Not lock buttons".
then all you need to do is press the centre button to wake the diamond!!

Yes, but other keys such as volumn, home, back, answer and end key are also unlocked. Anyway, there are all hardware keys available to press opening the phone in additon to the default on/off button. I am now using this option.
ya but they will complain that all the buttons are unlocked. that method is just TOO easy.
edit: OMG i was right. and too slow. hahaha
maybe next time the phone can get u a beer or work for you...man...
Surely this is the Answer..?
OK, the way I see solving this is to have the phone wait longer before auto-locking.
To sort this, go to the following..
Start\Settings\System\Power\Advanced..
Go to 2nd option - It's a tick Box labelled "Turn off Device if not used for.." and adjust it to suit..
This is found in the manual..?
Cheers,
Phil.

well, it´s maybe less a matter of laziness than of speed, my last phone was a slider ... slide, it wakes up, slide, it goes to sleep - superquick
with the diamond it takes one step more:
I use the option "do not lock buttons" in combination with S2U2, most often I press the ok button and slide to unlock
to put the phone to sleep, I press the power button or use gyrator: I just have to turn the phone face down, than the screen goes off (with S2U2 locking)
hm, maybe I should have bought the diamond pro, but diamond is sexier

OMG!!!
What a baby, hurting finger....c'mon!!
Power button switches screen on, same button switches screen off. Job done.
Have you ever hit your finger with a hammer and your nail goes black....That hurts!!!
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?
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...
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.
Randomly throughout the day, my phone changes the ringer volume from vibrate to the lowest sound tick on the ringer. This happens at least 5 times per day (usually more) as long as the privacy switch isn't set to a silent mode. This happens on OOS, lineage, RR, etc. This happens to both me and a friend all the time. He bought his 3T a few weeks after I got mine, we're both bootloader unlocked, have different versions of TWRP, he runs OOS and I run Sultan's lineage build normally. Basically we're both extremely annoyed at this little issue. We cannot figure out why it's happening but it happens to both of us regardless of ROM or firmware version. This has to be a software issue, what are the chances that we both got devices with a hardware issue. I have a 64gb gray, he has a 128gb black, purchased about a month apart, no way we have phones from the same batch. Any help to fix this annoying little issue would be greatly appreciated.
Is you phone in your pocket when it happens? Any chance it can be something as simple as the power & vol rocker being pressed when the phone is in your pocket? Reason I say power & vol rocker, is that both would need to be pressed for the vol to change (pressing vol up/down when screen is off will normally do nothing).
Hasn't happened to me on this phone. But on my old M8, once in a while when crouching down (with phone in my pocket), the power button would be depressed long enough to reboot the phone. Although the power button was on the top of that phone (and easier to accidentally depress, I would think). I was starting to think there was some hardware/software fault making the phone reboot; before I realized it was just me depressing the button on accident.

It happens even after sitting still on my desk after an hour of not being touched. It's been going on ever since I've had the phone. Definitely not accidental presses

I know that with some custom ROMS, it works in sets of three.
Alarms/priority/all notifications
Total silence/vibrate/ring
At least it's what I've noticed. And only with a few custom ROMS.
Hope this helps.
