Hi, I cleaned the screen of my HTC Diamond with a bit of alcohol and a pice of tissue and it seems that the alcohol got inside of the Power button. Now, every time I try to turn the screen on by touching the power button, it turns the screen on but it dispays a message that says: "Warning: Power will be turned off and you may lose data if you have not saved them. Do you want to continue?"
If I click YES, it reboots the phone, If I click NO, then its ok. That is fine, but the problem is when I want to turn the phone off. It's impossible. It will keep trying to reboot.
Does anybody know what can I do? I am really worried.
One solution could be to make some other button from the phone to act as the power button (like the Home button that is rarely used). How can I do that?
Please help!!!!
Thank you
Hi,
I have the same problem.
Did you already find an answer ?
No, I didnt find the solution. I tried to fix the hardware but didnt succeed. So, I created a dummy file to emulate the poweroffwarning.exe that pops up when you long press the power button.
Solution
Hello, I have one AT&T TITL 8925 that upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.5
After the new software was loaded I saw same behavior on my phone.
When the phone is ON and I pressed the power button sometimes it do not respond, and others I received the warning message "power will be turned off and you may lose data if you have not saved them..." My first tought was that it is because the processor is slow to this new software release, or maybe my phone is damaged. I was working perfectly with previous (light version) release so my final guess is that this sw requires more uses of the processos.
Anyways what I have been doing is before turing it off I press the red button or hang up button, and after this if I press the power button it works fine (No more warnings). I have some theories but I will keep doing the same
Hope this partial solution helps you as it does for me.
Regards
Jerry
this is not working for me :| the problem is i can't use my power button not even to open my display when it goes to sleep :|:| i don't know what to do guys please help me
You can use the Stylus to awake the phone, instead of using the power button. You can also use TouchLockPro, to suspend the device, so you do not need the power button for that too.
Also you can set the phone to awake on pressing any key (Windows Mobile Setting), but be sure to have a good locking tool, which makes sure you do not have bogus calls and it goes to sleep again fast enough, otherwise it will drain battery.
I have the same problem.
Anyone solved this one?
I have the same issue and this is not a hardware problem. Strange since even updates/changes of the rom do not correct the issue. Did anybody find a solution for this...?
Well.. ive had this problem just ones.. I was walking downtown with my diamond in the frontpocket of my jeans (face down), after about 3min. of walk, it started to rain (big drops), and my clothes got completely wet, i turned around emidietly, to walk back to home. When i got home after 3 more min. i layed the phone on the table, and then i could hear there were somethibg wrong.. The "turn off" sound came, and the notification kept on coming up, even though i pressed No, as if i were just holding the power button down.. Then i began to press the power button continuesly for about a 100 times, and to my surprise then it stopped and have functioned perfectly for about 2 month now.. Something tells me theres some serius promlem with the smallest kind of moisture near the power button on this phone..
Yes this is hardware related.
If you take a look at the inside of the powerbutton, there are 2 points making contact when you press the button.
If you press it, the software will recognize this and the screen will turn off.
If you press it long enough you'll get the "Do you want to turn off your device" message.
But, if water gets underneath the button, the 2 points may be making contact, because water/alcohol conducts.
In this way you'll get that message.
The button is very weak. Due to this, it may not properly work if you have used it for a long time.
I think that could also be a reason why you constantly get that message.

Hi! on one of my diamond, the power button off from the board. So the black little board with the button itself is not part of the complete circuit anymore... if someone know the hw testpoint for that it would great please.... i see a few TP around, but if i just start sorting them i just going to kill it...I use to flash phones with TP so is not new for me , but i find nothing for diamond.
I have a similar issue. Mine seems like it is almost stuck on, so it wakes its self up all the time, meaning a full charge lasts an hour or two. Then when it runs out of battery it tries to switch itself back on, so goes through a continuous cycle of vibrating and beeping until the battery is removed. The gf finds it very annoying at 3am lol.
Don't recall mine getting wet, but it's possible it could have got damp at some point, but it's been doing this now for about 3 weeks.
Tried a hard reset with no luck.

I can see that how to remove the power button from the video showing how to replace the screen. Any idea if once removed the button can be fixed, if not can you get replacements?

I think I should send it to HTC, and ask them to do it. Or go to a repair centre. But I should not try it myself, because it can be dangerous for the diamond.
Also try searching on ebay, there might be the parts you could use.
Good luck!
is there a way to remap the power button?
my diamond face same problem since this afternoon, arrrrgghhhh!!!
- blocking hwbutton1, hwbutton2, hwbutton3, hwbutton4, hwbutton5, hwbutton6, hwbutton7 >>>> NO LUCK
- hard reset >>> NO LUCK
guys, any of you solved the problem yet

My Sony X1 have some strange problems with the power button. When it goes into sleep mode, I can not wake it up with the power button, all I can do is to soft reset. Sometimes it does not go into sleep mode either , it just "wake up" all the time. I don't know what's wrong with it, tried Hard reset but no use .
ANyone had this problems before?
@
The only way to solve this is to leave the phone near your laptop heat vent ( fan) . hot air from it might help you to get the power button up and running. But if that to doesn't work then i'm afraid thats bad.
Current sol :
1. download SU2U ( search threads )
2. go to the settings and make the " lock when stylus inserted" option ON
3. Change the screen turn off time to 5 secs..
So , to unlock , remove stylus , to lock -> insert it back ( its turns off the back light within 5 sec )
Less annoying

Hi everyone,
My HTC Touch Diamond phone appears to be stuck on the TouchFlo screen. I can use the hard-buttons to move around the screen and do the essentials, but I somehow cannot use the touch-screen at all.
Strange thing however is that while I am in certain screens (ie: Call History), whenever I touch the screen, I can see the OK button in the top-right corner show up and go away whenever I remove my finger from the screen.
I've attempted several soft resets and removed the battery for a few minutes, yet still at no avail. Anyone have a clue what could be wrong? I am desperate and don't want to do a hard-reset and lose all my data and settings.
Looking forward to your suggestions!
nobody any ideas?
My personal thought on it is that you probably just need to recalibrate your screen... but I can not figure out a way to get to that option without using the screen. If there was a start button it would be easy, but since we have a sleek phone it doesn't have one.

It may or may not help but a shortcut to align screen is to hold Enter/Action and press Volume Up.
I only know this because my friend is looking for a way to disable this combo for gaming purposes.
The symptoms sounds like you have installed SensorLock.
When i have it activated i can press the hardbuttons and the upper right corner of the screen.
Try flip your phone and see if it unlocks?
All great suggestions guys! Especially the Enter + VolUp was the one I wouldve wanted to try! In the end, I decided to go to HTC Support and they checked the device. Turned out it was a hardware problem: the connector was loose! After pressing a bit around the lower edge of the screen, the connector worked properly again!
Thanks again for the help guys!
So my Note only reboots itself in my pocket. Whenever i bend down to pickup my dog or crouch down.
Ive tried pressing buttons and squeezing the device in my hands to see if any pressure or buttons pressed force the phone to reboot but nothings does it.
Is there a button combination to make the device reboot?
If i hold down the power button i only have the Power Off option. No Reboot option on this rom.
Anyone have any idea what this is? It has never rebooted itself outside my pocket.
Thanks
Neil

It could be a really long press of the power button. I use that to get unstuck from whenever I manage to get it stupidly frozen with the apps I'm developing...
Try it, but keep in mind it should be close to 6 seconds or more.
Yep, long press on the power button will reboot your phone.
I could make so many off-colour remarks here, but I shall restrain myself. The long press of the power button is doing it (as suggested).
Oddly, I had a strange issue where having the screen in toward my thigh caused a press on the screen activating the speaker when on a call. As I was connected to the 'phones, it was irritating. I now keep the screen facing away from me to avoid this. I dislike exposing the screen to potential damage in this way, but thin jeans pockets make it a requirement.
I have exactly the same issue - I was just in the garden and my phone rebooted three times in about five minutes while inside my trouser pocket. There's nothing else in my pocket except a hanky, so how does the power button get pressed?
Like others, I too have the screen towards my thigh. It's happening so often recently that my three old son asks me every time what my phone is doing in my pocket!
I've never known a phone with such badly positioned buttons - fiddly to use volume controls, and now this - it's just really crap design. :-(

interesting...
but to get the power button depressed while in the pocket is very unlikely for me.
Do you guys keep your vibration on as well?
First off, I'd like to mention I'm new here, so if I'm posting this in the wrong place, please forgive me.
Second, the topic: I've had a problem with my power key for at least half a year now. As far as I can tell, it started after I accidentally dropped it (No harder than I usually would if I ever did drop it which is rare) with my otterbox case on it. I picked it up and tried to turn on my screen and noticed a long lag before the screen came on.
I didn't think anything of it until the next day the key wasn't responsive at all. I looked, and the key is not cracked, and there's no visible damage from the outside. I figured out if I shook the phone, or tapped on the button a certain way, sometimes I could get the button to work, but that was just unacceptable. So i found a fix in the application "Button Savior". Coupled with the volume rocker wake feature of my ROM.
But after all this time, I'd still really like my power button to work, so here are my questions:
1. Is this a common problem? Have you yourself experienced this, or have you seen others have this problem?
2. Any ideas on what is actually wrong with the button, and how I could fix the button mechanism? I'm not against taking the phone apart to repair it if that's what it takes.
Thanks in advance guys!
Additional info: Maybe not a hardware issue?
I've found that while having to enter into recovery mode by using the three button combo, it seems to register the power button being pressed in order to actually get into recovery, but once in recovery I have the same old problem of not being able to use the power button (as in I have to shake it and tap it a lot for it to register, and even that is unreliable)
Hi,
My note 8's screen got damaged a month ago, but
from past two days the power button seems to be
unresponsive.
I have to press it atleast 10-15 times for my screen
to wake up.
Even if the screen doesnt turn on by a single click,
the usual touchscreen functions still work.
Ex: I can still open the particular app by clicking the screen
on the specific area.
Kindly help.

There's nothing any of us can do to help you when it's a hardware issue like this. You need to open the back of the phone using a heat gun to loosen the glue and then take the power button out and replace it with a new one.. There's nothing else that can be done and I would suggest that you not shut the phone down or let the battery die out because then you may not be able to turn it back on until you get the power button taken care of!

Hi MrMike2182,
Thanks but let me elaborate the issue.
The power button seems to be working fine because it takes approximately 10 to 15 clicks to turn on the screen (sometimes 1 or 2 click)
Let's say that I click the power button and the screen doesn't turn on, the screen functions work fine despite showing black screen.
Ex:
1. If I click on screen location where samsung music is placed and open it, and if I and click on the location of the play button, it plays the music just fine.
2. If I click on the restart button when the screen is black (not turned on), the phone does restart. The Samsung logo lits up just fine. (Mensing to say, the bootup process is not affected)
Also, note that if I successfully manage to turn on the screen after clicking the power button 10-15 times and if I put it to sleep again. I can easily turn on if I click the power button immediately (within the span of 2 seconds).
The problem persists only if the phone is kept I'd for 5 to 10 minutes.

Ok based on what you said now I don't believe there's anything wrong with your power button and when you press it and the screen doesn't turn on, in reality it actually is on and it's possibly damaged which is why you can still use the screen functions with the black screen. Whatever type of damage you say happened to it could be causing the backlight to not work but the screens touch function is fine.. Try rebooting into recovery mode and select to clear the phone's cache only and see if it helped anything.. If it doesn't help anything it's pretty much a screen hardware problem and you'll still have to get into the phone's internals..

Since the factory reset didn't work, then unfortunately it really is a hardware issue.. I think you need a new screen..
I have the official led cover case, just opening the case will turn the screen on... Just a temp fix until you can get it repaired maybe.
