I flashed both phones with FlashTool 3.0.0 -

Rom - X10a_2.1update1_r2.1.A.0.435_Generic.ftf

Root IT / Reboot

Xrecovery Install. - I select the first one , so the one w/out GB in the name.

Copy Files to SD Card for GB Flash..Files I copy are..

" X10x.3.0.1.G.0.75.EWJET.xKernel.GB.x2.3ex.zip "

" ewX.xKernel.gb.X3.1f.zip "

I also have a folder "Addons" that I have a couple things like.. " SEMC.Calculator.zip & "SEMC.Gmail.Gtalk.Email.zip" ..so on..

I then Reboot the phone into Xrecovery...

1 - Wipe user data

2 - clear cache

3 - advanced options - clear cache again..

4 - Install Custom Zip....Select " X10x.3.0.1.G.0.75.EWJET.xKernel.GB.x2.3ex.zip "... Done

5 - Reboot Via XRecovery and Remove battery Instantly

6 - Flash via FlashTool - X10i_3.0.1.G.0.75_only kernel_baseband.ftf

7 - Unplug / Remove battery . Wait 10 Seconds.. Boot phone.

8 - Phones Booted.. My SD Card already was in 2 FAT32 Partitions. One 14GB one 1GB..

9 - Proceed to Link2SD App..Start it.. Reboot Phone..

10- Selected and Linked Apps in Link2SD .. Rebooted Phone..

11 - Started Link2SD ...go to " More " .. Selected link dalvik-cache files... Rebooted Phone

12 - Used File Explorer .. went to SDCard.. if there is a Scriptz folder Delete it.. there was no scriptz folder..

13 - Rebooted Phone.. Enter in Xrecovery mode.. Advanced options .. "Wipe dalvik cache"

14 - Install Custom Zip..Select " ewX.xKernel.gb.X3.1f.zip "... Done...

15 - Rebooted Via Xrecovery

16 - Started Link2SD... go to " More " .. Select "Link dalvik-cache files" again and then "Market Fix"

17 - Rebooted Phone again.

18 - Used phone.. Setup Google Accounts / Email / Facebook / A few apps / synced picasa photos... Rebooted

Get all the files you need for the 2.1 flash and the baseband fix if you need for 2.1 flash from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=920746 .. the links are in the first post. and one again also remember to use the "Flash" button in flashtool to flash the TFT files. there is no other way to do this but I am just assuming maybe you are flashing custom zips via xrecovery...I hope this helps.. I'm going to have time this week to do a remake of the video on Ericks Firmware install.. It's ok but it's assuming to much little steps.

Great post! Thanks!
[HTC Sensation] Master&Slave™:
I have been having odd power button issues since updating to 2.3.4. It is almost like it is getting stuck or something.

Sometimes when I hit the power button to turn off the screen, the screen goes off for half a second then comes back on. This also happens when going from off to on (i.e. flicker on then back off), but it seems rarer.

Sometimes when I hit the home button (and just the home button), it takes a screenshot like I am hitting the button as well even though I am not.

All of this is fixed by just hitting the power button a few times.

Needless to say it is annoying. I thought it might be something mechanical, but I took the case off the back and the issue still occurred. It also seems like the button is clicking then unclicking (i.e. not getting stuck). I had no issues prior to updating to 2.3.4.

Anyone else had this happen or know a fix or workaround?
[HTC Sensation] Kevinr144:
Yes! I have the same exact problem after the update!!

Glad to see I'm not the only one.

It's very annoying.

My backlight turns on by itself randomly and often if you press the power button to turn the screen off, it goes off then comes back on or flickers on and off. The power button doesnt always turn the screen back on either.

It also gets stuck where I press the home screen and it keeps taking pictures.

HTC better fix this!
[HTC Sensation] f3nd3r:
I have the exact same problem too since upgrading! I have disabled the screenshot function in build.prop but that only stops the repeated screenshots part of the problem. The main problem with the power button still persists.
[HTC Sensation] Idle Mind:
I'm having this too, its come and gone to different extents - pretty sure it was happening a bit before the update though.

I'm worried it is mechanical, I couldn't get it to happen with the back cover off but it could have just been coincidence. I can live with having to press the button again every so often but the screenshot thing annoys the hell out of me!
[HTC Sensation] RaViCa:
Since the update I've experienced an issue with my power button as well. Sometimes when I hit the button to turn the screen on, nothing happens. At first I thought it was just me but it happens at least a couple of times a day and never happened before the update.

I don't normally turn my screen off by pressing the power button so I can't report on that. Guess I should count my blessing that the screen shot function is not acting up.

Thanks for posting cause was beginning to think it was just me.
[HTC Sensation] Master&Slave™:
FIX!

I found a fix for this, in your build.prop remove the framework line for screen shots and then go in recovery and whipe cache partition twice as well as dalvic twice!

Cheers!
[HTC Sensation] f3nd3r:
I've just tried this twice but the problem still persists. Sure the screenshot issue is gone but the powering on and off the display is still intermittent.
[HTC Sensation] HigherSensation:
I was having the same problem with the power button and was thinking it was hardware thanks for the heads up..
[HTC Sensation] Spekko:
am I like the only one without this problem >.< lol. lucky me
[HTC Sensation] Over Achiever:
I have this same problem too, I believe its connected to the screenshots but i don't know how to turn it off easily (how do I get into build prop?)

This is definitely after the update, I had absolutely no problems with the power button prior to the update.
[HTC Sensation] micspabo:
I don't have any power button isues at all on my European Sensation (2.3.4 still S-On yet). Playing around it just for a week. But the Screenshot thing is a feature not a bug!

Just press <power button> + <Home> to take a screenshot. I like it.
[HTC Sensation] anurbanlegend:
I just starting having this issue yesterday too. Thought it was my power button getting stuck but good to see it's not a hardware problem and hopefully HTC fixes this.
[HTC Sensation] JMUT:
I think you're right. As a test, I used AntTek App Manager to freeze "Scribble" which is also known as com.htc.mysketcher and I haven't had the issue yet. I believe this component is responsible for monitoring for the key combo for taking screenshots. Certainly, after freezing it, the Power+Home combo no longer works for taking screenshots.
[HTC Sensation] f3nd3r:
I have just tried this but I still have the issue. Sometimes the power button won't wake up the screen and sometimes when I power off the screen it only stays off for a second and then lights up again.
[HTC Sensation] EniHS:
I have this issue too, but I don't think it is software related problem.

It is, as the phone sometimes recognize a power button click as 2 clicks (screen goes off and on).

To see what I mean, go to Recovery and try to navigate through menus - when you're clicking power to enter any menu, sometimes you jump back, as if you were clicking "Go back"...

So, if the issue is even in Recovery mode, so it is not software related. I even restored my stock 2.3.3. soft and the issue is still there. I think it's a mechanical defect :(
[HTC Sensation] f3nd3r:
I have noticed this too now in recovery.
[HTC Sensation] mike2518:
Same here, I never had this issue before, but now after upgrading to this new 2.3.4, I'm having the same issue .
[HTC Sensation] f3nd3r:
The strange thing is, I even downgraded to 2.3.3 and I still have the problem. I have even flashed stock HBOOT and Recovery but the problem remains. I just don't understand it because it certainly wasn't happening before I upgraded.
[HTC Sensation] seepa:
Add one more person to the screenshot-club. Haven't had any other problems, but sometimes the phone just keeps taking screenshots when I'm pressing the home key. Extremely annoying, but luckily this is usually solved by tapping the power button. Ofc afterwards you have to clean your gallery of useless pictures... Argh!
[HTC Sensation] kajet915:
I use a rooted sensation and I have experienced that same problem on one ROM. If the problem is really that bad, try going the rooted way.
[HTC Sensation] zoro_op:
Sorry rom can support volume button to wake up the phone already...
[HTC Sensation] f3nd3r:
If this happens to be true, it will be fantastic! I don't suppose you kept a log of the chat with HTC did you? Or was it overe the phone?
[HTC Sensation] slick007:
IC 3.2.1 with stock kernel also did the trick for me. I was almost decided to change my phone but since friday everithing is back to normal.
[HTC Sensation] TheStigx:
I was thinking if they do send a patch, how would we be able to install it as we aren't running stock recovery :P?
[HTC Sensation] f3nd3r:
Just flash stock recovery. That's what I do when I update with an OTA
[HTC Sensation] SensationalAdrian:
You sir are correct. I am having this power button issue and noticed it only happens in the middle and more to the right of the button. The left side is fine when I press it.

I also was having this problem in recovery as it would keep double pressing. I had took the back off the phone and pressed the button but didn't have any issues. Its definitely due to the back cover/power button.
[HTC Sensation] RonRodex:
+1

It seems to me that it is hardware related as it has more random character than systematic. I will press back or even cut the power button tin. Will keep you posted.
[HTC Sensation] slick007:
but you can just try IC 3.2.1 to see if it's having any effect on you, because my problem was same as yours and now is completely gone !
[HTC Sensation] TheNavdeepDahiya:
Software

The issue is probably software based because i installed leedroid yesterday and since then no weird screenshots. the power plus home combo works fine but yeah the occasional waking up of screen after locking is still there, though very random.

---------- Post added at 10:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:52 PM ----------

The problem dosent go it just switches to the volume button
[HTC Sensation] TheMach:
I too started having problems with the power button right after the official 2.3.4 update. I've installed IC 3.2.2 (with stock kernel) and so far it's been 2 days without the power button issues. For those that suspect it may be software related, give a custom ROM a shot!
[HTC Sensation] JMUT:
For those that are saying it's a hardware issue, you are ignoring the fact that this fix works. I agree that there is a hardware component but in my personal experience, going from Android Revolution HD to Energy (oct 13th 2011) has completely fixed my problem (for the last 6 days.)

If you still want to argue that this is a hardware problem, please read up on debouncing then come back and argue that it's simply a bad power switch.

[HTC Sensation] dupsatou:
I got htc to offer to rma my sensation because of this power button issue. Is there any experience from anybody else that they could fix this in an rma or is this a waste of my time?
[HTC Sensation] nicky041192:
I updated to 2.3.4 when it was available and never had this problem until today. But seems like it went away.

Sent from my HTC Sensation
[HTC Sensation] anarchyuk:
I think this issue is software but is deep down and something to do with the secondary bootloader.. when i got the rom.zip from the ruu for 2.3.4 and renamed it PG58IMG.zip.. i flashed it direct from mem card...

after that i installed s-off from alpharev and hboot only reverted to 1.7 etc

from then on its done a it a few times in the last 14 days but i take the cover off and put it back in firms and it stops... it could be a mix of slanty power button and a issue in the sbl
[HTC Sensation] chieloz86:
I have had the 1.73 rom and there were no problems. Now i am back to the 1.45 rom and the powee button issue is back. I think its software related.
[HTC Sensation] SensationalAdrian:
I have to come back and say that is indeed a software problem. Its actually the screen capture feature that causes the weird issue. I flashed ARHD 3.6.2, which has the screen capture disabled by default, and now my phone feels so much better. No more flickering on and off screen. No more random screenshots. No more power menu popping up on its own. I'm happy again.
[HTC Sensation] FayezZ:
I've been using ARHD for a while now, and have had the power button issue (including on ARHD 3.6.2, though I upgraded to it instead of doing a clean install).
[HTC Sensation] SensationalAdrian:
I did a clean install coming from 4.1.3. I haven't had an issue yet.
[HTC Sensation] krnchicken753:
I'm certain now that it is a kernel issue. I get the power problem when using any kernels other than the Sense 3.5 HTC kernel.
[HTC Sensation] lexorcist:
HTC, please fix this! It´s getting really annoying!
[HTC Sensation] KiterCuda:
Update not help

I am having power button issue, when i updated ROM of my Sensation 2 month ago :-(.

I update 2 days ago to new HTC ROM (original). It does not fix power button issue :-((((.

Edit: Since I flashed InsertCoin ROM, I have had no power button issue, jupííííí.
[HTC Sensation] LPChris47:
It's getting worse for me :(
[HTC Sensation] slick007:
try last IC rom ... since more than 10 days I don't have this issue anymore ! I'm a happy user again :)
[HTC Sensation] lexorcist:
It does, the last 2 days it's a disaster. I tried a fast reboot, normal reboot, removed battery... nothing!
[HTC Sensation] mczhu:
+1 to that. Seems like the latest build fixed the power button issue and sense 3.5 is FAST!
[HTC Sensation] slick007:
I said it a few times, but it seems that some people are waiting a fix for stock rom from HTC ... sorry to say but you have to wait a long time if you don't wanna try the new custom rom's, which for sure repairs this issue.

A friend of mine with the same issue fixed it with the IC rom - which proved to me that the problem is software (maybe kernel related) !!

Cheers to this !!
[HTC Sensation] richardirv:
Well, i have had enough of waiting for HTC now, going off for repair tomorrow! HTC still said it wasn't a known problem in instant chat again. LOL
[HTC Sensation] dparvin:
Another 2 Sensations here that have the power button issue and the screenshots when pressing home button.

Both 2.3.4

HTC Sense 3.0

Software 1.45.401.3
[HTC Sensation] redlyfs:
Had that issue once together with some screen sensitivity issue. Once I flashed in a custom rom it kinda went away. Flashed in leedroid, now on Insertcoin 3.3.1
[HTC Sensation] dparvin:
I would love to flash it, but I have not done it yet on Android, I did on my iDevices and dont know where to start at the moment!
[HTC Sensation] F.3.A.R:
Removing Adobe Flash updates sometimes helps with the camera problem, its worth a try if you're not ready to root it yet.

A custom ROM is definitely the thing to try. Seems to have fixed it for a lot of people here. I'd recommend InsertCoin too.

unfortunately removing adobe didn't worked on a few phones of my friends with the same issue. The only solution is S-off with a 3.5 rom ... recomanded IC
[HTC Sensation] dparvin:
I have just been reading that, I think I will go for it.

In the meantime, I will rollback Flash on one device to see if that helps.
[HTC Sensation] slick007:
trust me that I tried everything and I was very angry about this issue. i even changed the backcase and still nothing.

the only solution was 3.5 rom and since then ( more than 10 days I think), the problem was solved 100% !
[HTC Sensation] loan92:
Solution for "power button issue" read!

I had the problem, after upgrading the Sensation officially ... and I can say that I know for sure that the problem is due to (HTC Android kernel 2.3.4) ...

Do you A Very Council, for all those who have the problem "Power Button" ... Install this ROM, with the stock kernel from HTC Android 2.3.5 and you will see that your problem will not exist more ... Try it and let me know, I have solved also some advice, do not change if you use kernel 2.3.5 rom with Android because you always have the same problem "Power Button" that you had to develop custom kernel suitable for HTC Android 2.3.5 .. .

Rom: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1198684

PS: When you flash the ROM, not update "Super User" to the new version, because you create incompatibility, at least that happened to me, anyway if you accidentally go to the market updates and uninstall the update ...

I hope that my information is helpful to someone ...

Greetings to All ...

This is true a used arhd 4.1.3 which is 2.3.5 based for about a week and it didn't happen once, went back to 3.6.2 which is 2.3.4 based and it started all over again
[HTC Sensation] sn0warmy:
I can confirm that after upgrading from CM7 2.3.4 to 2.3.7 the issue stopped for me as well.

So it sounds like any ROM with the 2.3.5 and above kernel will solve the problem.

Power button issue

Hi,

I'm from Malaysia and I have the exact problem too. Sent back for warranty the first time and they said they din encounter the problem but I insisted that the problem exists and so they changed me a new back cover assuming the back cover is the reason for this problem.

However, after getting a new back cover, the problem is still here and again I sent it back for the second time and this time they told me that the problem is a part called Rigid Flex and that they've replaced it.

I just got back my phone 2 days ago and still trying if the problem still exists. Currently seems like it was fixed but maybe will try few more days.
[HTC Sensation] Serendipity1:
Power Buttom also in recovery mode

Hi Guys,

I can't confirm, that this annoying issue dissapear in higher kernel/android versions. I also tried Android 2.3.5 with different roms and with the newest and oldest kernels, and CM7 with android 2.3.7 too, but the power bottom issue is the same: after turning back with the power buttom no screen picture, but faint light. Above it happens when receiving a call, rings, but no touchscreen to answer.

Furthermore this issue happens also in recovery mode. Just 7-8 trial need to see the screen of the Revolutionary CWM v4.0.1.4 in recovery menu.

Isn't it possible, that its not the kernel, but the recovery script, what causes the problem? I assume we all on this bootloader, aren't we?
[HTC Sensation] KiterCuda:
Power button issue finished

Since I flashed InsertCoin ROM, I have no power button issue :-). Before flashing it was terrible.
[HTC Sensation] dparvin:
I have just installed this ROM http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=14192842&postcount=3

Phone is running fine, but I just had the 'screenshot when pressing home button' and power button fault again :(

I will try the InsertCoin ROM now, I hope this fixes it.

EDIT: InsertCoin now installed, so far so good.
[HTC Sensation] DJouneyt:
Also had that power button issue (push the button to turn off the screen, it is switching off and then switching on immidiately) when I was on stock 1.45.401.2. After that flashed 2.08.401.1 | Stock | Rooted | which has stock Kernel too and power button issue has been solved :D Stock kernel is playing the main role I think, as mentioned before ;)
[HTC Sensation] dparvin:
I am going to try this now, InsertCoin force closes too many apps for my liking, I think I am after a more stock ROM.
[HTC Sensation] mathyou9:
I tried InsertCoin and was happy to see that the power button problem disappearred. But to my dismay, it made my phone have substantial lag overall (enough that I'd would rather stick to 2.3.4 and have the power button issue.) So I'm going to give this one a shot as well.
[HTC Sensation] DJouneyt:
A small update, I have came up with the issue in CWM 5.0.2.0, pushed once but it recognized as double :( Have done the key test and really it doubled sometimes.. If I am not wrong this was not in 1.45.401.2, only screen off/on. Now problem in CWM, but nothing with the screen.. Interesting..
[HTC Sensation] leeskywalker:
For some reason installing CRT animation on arhd 3.6.3 seems to have solved my issue ,I'm 3 days in now and it hasn't happens once

Strange but true
[HTC Sensation] Serendipity1:
Power button problem still on very first Stock ROM

Guys,

I had this issue on every customer roms (InserCoin 33.6 all Revolution and even on Stock 2.0.8.401 stock roms) Now I've gone back on the earliest stage: S-ON, Unrooted, original stock rom (RUU_Pyramid_HTC_Europe_1.35.401.1_Radio_10.43a.9007.00U_10.51.9007.27_M3_release_198179_signed) totaly virgin state. I don't think I can go backward more, but the issue is the same: Screen still black 5-6 out of 10 times, after pushing the power button on to wake up the phone, and also black, when i receive phone calls 8 out of 10 times.

I do believe, that it is a software issue(as the incoming call requires no botton to push, and also same during on hardboot white scren phase), but this is not the kernel or the rom, its in deeper.

So "sell !!!-a'vie". I should get rid of the phone.

I realy don't understand how HTC handles this issue, but I'm certain , that he will loose a lot of customers soon, and support the camp of Samsung and Apple users.
[HTC Sensation] banesi:
Just to add, I'm using CM alpha9 and volume buttons to wake the phone, the problem is the same as using power buttons, sometimes i need to press this buttons two or three times, now this is really amazing boring bug
[HTC Sensation] mrg02d:
I can confirm this. I am also seeing this problem with cm7 and the volume wake function. Takes 2 presses for me, but only on random occasions.
