[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BAM.:
Innovations i can understand, but the Titan is an 4,7inch phone.

When you have this in the pocket of your jeans, like 85% of the people does, there is problem with this so called innovation.

And believe me, supportdesk at HTC in the Netherlands make me feel stupid about our complaints. The freaking phone restarts after 6 seconds while sitting on your knees or bend over to tie your shoe's...

Is there anybody over here who knows how to deal with this/disable it or has connections to discuss this problem with HTC or MS?
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] damtrx_:
I can confirm this problem on HTC Trophy too(custom rom)

If i hold down Power button ,slider shows up .If i continue to press Power Button and do nothing my phone is power down (not restart)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
It's a standard WP7 behavior, why do all of you complain? It's not a problem but standard feature (to be able to reboot phone if touchscreen stop working). Buy another, not so tight, jeans or belt phone holder or protective case.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BAM.:
Who said i wear tide jeans?

There are also people on a Dutch forum that had problems with some protecting cases or just in a bag. And that was with the Trophy.

I finally love the system itself, but this is a 4.7 inch phone where i payed a lot of money for, so i'm allowed to expect something.

Apparently the Systems features and the size make it a combined "problem".

a lot of people get this problem now and in the future when Sales go up!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
BAM., there is nothing what you can do. I think it's by hardware design so there are no registry settings to disable power button. But what you expected is absolutely irrelevant to the current WP7 products ;)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BAM.:
That is a straight forward answer! Until now HTC didn't give a proper explanation..

If it is hardware related, this is the only thing that s#cks on wp7/HTC Titan. But i still don't think so, because other ones, like the trophy just shut down.. No restart!

It just feels so dissapointing... Because i really started to like WP7.

Hopefully there will come a MS answer somewere/sometime for this.

thnx anyway!
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjlsantos:
Omnia 7 has the same behavior (press and hold makes the scroll down menu appear, keep holding and the device reboots) so it's not restricted to HTC devices.

Fortunately, I tie my shoes really fast :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoobysnacks:
lg quantum here, same thing lol
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avatar28:
Confirmed on my HTC Surround, phone shuts down. Also on my Blackberry 8350i (although power button is right below the screen and it comes with a holster so not really an issue). Pretty sure that the Evo Shift I used to have for work would do the same thing.

It's a pretty logical function though. If your phone were to lock up for some reason, there's no soft reset button that you can press. This serves the same function. Try holding down the power button of your PC for a few seconds. You'll find that it does the same thing. When you first press it your computer will (probably) start the shutdown process but if you keep holding it then it goes straight to off.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spud1:
It's logical for a PC, or maybe even for a device where you cannot remove the battery or there is no other way to reboot the phone if it locks up (but who's to say that this "feature" will even work when the phone locks up anyway..)

But for a mobile phone where the power button can easily be pressed accidentally, where a device has to deal with much more than just sitting on a desk..no that is just poor design.

I understand that for many people it won't be an issue - but the fact remains that for lots of us it is (it's good to see that it's not just me!)...and calling it a "feature" doesn't help (thats a long running trick in the software trade..many features are just bugs/poor design disguised as such!).

I suspect that to fix this problem we are going to have to wait for a full unlock for HTC mango devices, so that we can load native apps who can potentially resolve the problem. I don't know enough about WM7 development yet to know if you can get at the Hardware Interrupts or not but if we can do that, then I am sure we can fix it. It's possible there will be some registry/configuration options too buried deep in the system, but without the interop-unlock we're stuck I think..

HTC/MS support sure as hell won't help us out as it's definitely going to be called a feature, no matter how big of an annoyance it is.

This combined with the discovery of how terrible Bing searching is has really put me off Windows Phone 7 though (the terrible search is the worst thing)..I'll be jumping back to iPhone next yearwhen Apple release their redesigned one, can't see a reason not to anymore. Which is a shame as I love the device + UI :(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sensboston:
Spud1, the long power button press can be handled by hardware schematics, not a firmware or drivers (but actually I don't know exactly, of course). So, your hope is very weak...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spud1:
True it can - but you could override this kind of behaviour in WM 6.x..and WP7 is still just windows CE with a layer over the top really, so there is a good chance that it's doable.

The thing that makes me think it's possible is that people who have upgraded their devices to Mango from NoDo seem to have the same issue - which leads me to believe that it's partly to do with Mango rather than down to specific devices..but to be sure more people who have those kind of devices (and particularly those without a HTC device) need to read this thread and reply :)
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DavidinCT:
Yea, I have this on my Verizon HTC Trophy too. Hold the power button. The Slide to power off will come on but, a few seconds later it will power off the phone. I need to hit the power button again to turn it back on.

This has happened to me a few times too. Annoying...

Edit:

Has anyone sent a support request into HTC ? Maybe there is a quick fix for this issue.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BAM.:
To go along with Spud: i'm seriously thinking of selling the phone again and step bakc to an android device.. 110% agreed that this give's me too much annoying reboots!! (for those who havén't, its a real pain in the ass....)

@DavidinCT

The trophy just shuts down, but the Titan keeps rebooting...

I have been in contact with HTC (dutch) and that was no help for me...

They almost make fun out of it. So i'm interested in contact with an MS employee who knows more about this feature!

Someone over here even told me not to wear it in my pocket...

(a guy called... senseboston.. who puts a pc in his jeans... ;) ) (joke!)

But there is a freaking pocket modus on my phone! It goes louder when i have it put away in my jeans.

The combination of size and that restart button is just a flaw in the Titan wich makes me go away. And mark my words: There will be plenty more complaints when Nokia starts hitting the market with there new WP phones.

People in holland are starting to like that design allready.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Avatar28:
By that argument you don't really need it for a PC either since you can just pull the power cord from the back.

You can go back to Android. But I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of them (if not all) have similar behaviors. Like I said, it's pretty standard practice from what I've seen.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BAM.:
Nope, if you don't slide in android, it will not unlock or shut's down/reboot.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cr1cket90:
I have been reading this site for awhile, even have the paid version on my phone, but have never posted before so I cant post in the dev forum. Anyways heres my issue, I used the NV flash to flash my G2X. Everythings been working great with weapon. Then tonight, I decided to install some fonts and boot animations. After like the third font, I got a low memory error. I took out the sd card and put in a bigger one. I moved my rom manager app from the phone to the larger sd card. Went to restart my phone and now it is stuck in a boot loop. I tried putting in the smaller sd card and the same thing is happening with it. I tried to use the nv flash to flash back to stock and still same results. Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] moeahmad1995:
Have you wiped before installing zips?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cr1cket90:
yes

Should I be wiping the dalvik as well?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Cr1cket90:
Im an idiot

I got it, since I had moved clockwork mod and everything to the other sd card, I didnt have a rom on the phone. I just downloaded one to the old sd card and it booted. Cant do nothing with the larger sd card as it is unwritable one that came with samsung epic
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jboxer:
Just to let you know posts should like should not be in the dev forum and should not be in this forum either. This type of issue should be posted in the Q&A forum. That is what it is for.

Roms are not run off your sd card. They have to be flashed to the phone's NAND.

[LG Thrill 4G] ssfirme:
it says adb not found
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Do youreself a favor and search the adb howto in the Thrill general section. It will tell you how to make an adb shortcut. Save you some headaches.

Also after you adb shell you can no longer use the adb command until you 'exit' the shell. Trying to do so will result in adb not found.
[LG Thrill 4G] ssfirme:
what do you mean exit the shell

:confused:
[LG Thrill 4G] CallMeAria:
Adb commands are run from the computer. When you type adb shell all commands from that point on are from the phone, so you can no longer use the adb command when in shell. Typing 'exit' will exit the shell and return you to being able to use adb commands.

However, it's raw simplicity made it somehow fun... but unless you're extremely masochistic, that fun will die out when you get punched in the jaw (five times) by forced grind-festing.

Earth and Legend *looks* better... but it's pretty much the same case. Except now you have this mega memory hog that thinks it's worth hogging 48-60MB of your phone storage for itself... and it doesn't even work with the Xperia PLAY touchpads like Dvide said they would.
