[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] phxzy:
Just tried to go in landscape mode, put my thumb on the screen and tried to change the volume buttons up/down and turn the screen off with power button. The buttons didn't recognise the presstouch here either. Don't think that's a problem though, but build in to the software.

Update; wait the do work over here!
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Icculus760:
Nearly every review before the phone was released: The buttons are horrible! Don't buy! Don't buy! The buttons stink! Why did they change them?! They're horrible! This is stupid! Don't buy!!

Nearly everyone who owns the U12+: What the *$% was the fuss about? The buttons work fine! Took me a few hours to get used to it, but I've got no real problems! They work just like regular buttons! Don't "not buy" just because you're afraid the buttons suck!

I mean ... do you think the initial//review devices were REALLY that bad and there was this huuuuuge improvement before the device was released to the public, or people just don't like change, or do they just have ulterior motives?

I get it's an $800 flagship with no headphone jack and rear glass with no wireless charging (but QC4!), but this phone has been EVERYTHING I was hoping it would be -- premium device with no notch, above-average speakers, IP68, sd card, snappy fingerprint scanner, bootloader unlockable and killer cameras. No buyers remorse here!
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Iscandelt:
Well, I really don't get why reviewers are so mad about those buttons. If you wanted this phone because it's a complete package (well... almost, no Qi charging), don't let the button "problem" (at least for reviewers) drive you away. It's a great phone and my only grief is the lack of 3,5mm jack but I knew that it won't be here....

Btw

Usonics are really good ;)
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] MirageBlader:
I have the U12+ now for 2 weeks and got used to the buttons. I mean, yes they could be a bit more responsive and i think HTC will fix that with an Update. If not, i am sure someone on XDA will. I really dont understand the bad reviews. No Notch, for real? Like it would make a phone that much better. No 3,5mm? Nothing special these days, get used to it. My battery on averange usage is great. I do watch Netflix, use Whatsapp, listen to Spotify and take here and there some pictures. I get 1,5 - 2 days battery. I am not a huge HTC fanboy but also cant denide that i really like what they did with the HTC 10 and M7. Its something new, wasnt there before and it doesnt mean its that bad, just give it some time to get used to it. Hope they fix some small issues with Android P Update. I would like to set the sensitivity for the buttons in the settings.

Sorry for my english :)
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] enyaj:
Everything works well here. Buttons and even the double tap for one hand operation no problem.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Nestacres:
I've had the phone for three days now and also have no problems with the buttons. The power button works when i need it to and volume is fine. However there have been a few occasions when the screen has automatically turned off, i presume because the power button feels it's being pressed. I've not been touching it but can feel the haptic sensation and the screen goes off. Happens around once a day. Maybe the way i hold it.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] djbutter:
I've had mine for about three days and experience a lot of ghost presses. Edge sense is particularly bad... It activates regardless of the level of sensitivity I've calibrated.

I'm wondering... How can one determine the manufacture date of one's phone?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] holz75:
The date is on the little sticker of information on the back of the phone. It has the month and year.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] djbutter:
The volume buttons don't seem to work at all when in battery saver mode and the screen is off.

Does everyone else have this behaviour as well?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] dlorde:
I've got used to the buttons over the last few days. I find the power button a little too sensitive, and I've had a few 'phantom' power button activations, but that's probably because the power button sits right under my thumb when I'm holding the phone right-handed. Hopefully, they'll provide an update to adjust the sensitivities. The Vol Down button seems about right, and the Vol Up button a little insensitive - it seems to follow their positions on the case, the nearer to the middle, the more sensitive (presumably because there's more flex further from the corners).
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] MirageBlader:
I agree, you can use your nails to press a bit lower then the button itself and it will trigger it. Very sure they can adjust this via update. Volume works so far flawless. While i would prefer real buttons i got used to it now and dont mind it. Just like you, update to fix the sensitivity.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] dlorde:
I ordered a couple of cheap silicone/TPU cases to try out, to make the U12 more grippy and mitigate the effects of dropping it. One of them has now arrived (Silicone TPU Gel Case), and surprisingly, it's a major usability improvement - the phone feels a lot more secure in the hand, and the power & volume buttons feel much better. Also, the rear cutout fits the fingerprint reader exactly, so it's much easier to position the finger quickly and precisely.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] MirageBlader:
Nice! I was looking for a good case. BTW did you ever noticed that you can press the corners of the phone to turn of display and turn on/off the phone. Dunno if this is intended or by mistake. I started wondering when my phone restarted while being in my pants.

Put ur index finger on the back, slightly behind the corner and then use your thumb and press with it. It behave like the power button. So weird.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] dlorde:
I can turn the phone on and off the way you suggest, but only at the top right corner, and it's not easy.

I've also found that the case makes Edge Sense double-taps a fair bit less sensitive, but I don't really find them useful, so, meh... [emoji6]
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] MirageBlader:
On my phone I can do it very easily on any corner. Will try your case. I don't use the double tap kuch either.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] dlorde:
I wonder if HTC's production quality is consistent - I think the amount of case flex differs between units, and it seems the adhesive holding the back on is not as strong as on other makes.

Hope you like the case, I find it pretty good for a cheap 'try it' job - good corner buffers, nice button features (though the volume button cover is a single 'rocker' type), and the sides are also roughened for extra grip.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] MirageBlader:
Made a video how it is with mine. Not much power needed.

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] phxzy:
Looks like a faulty device. My U12+ doesnt turn on the screen when putting some pressure one the edges.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] MirageBlader:
:( damn, I will contact HTC then.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] phxzy:
Or you could try to turn off the double tap gesture to wake up the screen and try it again. If it's still turning on the screen I would contact HTC if I were you.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] MirageBlader:
Already tried to turn off the edge sense feature completely but it doesn't change. Will contact them on Monday.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Double tap the screen to wake is a long time feature, it is not anything to do with edge sense. Also I do not have this issue either. But it looks like you are double tapping the screen.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] MirageBlader:
Nope, it's not that since double tap the screen doesn't restart the phone of you hold it. It's also cause the vibration which don't happen if you double tap.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Either way, I tried rigorously to reproduce this issue and I do not have it.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Shark5060:
Then consider yourself lucky. Several people have reported it and have this issue. I have it myself, but it's not THAT annoying so I can live with it. Still an issue that should not be ignored!
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
You have a source where they are reporting it? Cause most people here do not have the issues. I would just like to get an idea of how bad it is.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Shark5060:
Have you even read any of the reviews?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
I consider those with issues unlucky. Most people only report anything if they are upset with issues. People without issues go on with their lives and do not report anything.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] MirageBlader:
I wouldn't mind this but the restarts and that I have to unlock my SIM everytime sucks because I can't get any calls while it's locked. I use it as a work phone.

Trying to reach HTC for several days and don't get any reply. Their "live"-chat is a huge joke. It only leaves a message and they contact you via email in the end.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Yes and none of the reviews that are bashing the U12+ are not representative of my experience and many other real life users in these forums. I've seen a few people who claim to have issues but I have seen plenty more without.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] MirageBlader:
Some of the reviews says it's a contra for not having notch screen. I think, this says it all how crappy these are.

I am not defend this phone or HTC, in fact I have issues with both atm. :)
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] holz75:
I agree. Sure, I might have to push a little harder on the button with a case, but they work just fine to me.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] QD2DC:
I've had the phone now for a week and I can say I don't have any defective issues with the buttons. I don't particular like them all that much but they work.

You can tell the "touch" area extends slightly below the buttons. if i use my nail in between the volume keys, it'll trigger volume up, if I press under the volume down key, the space between the volume down and power, it'll trigger volume down, and the same if I press just under the power button, it'll trigger the power. But that's obviously intentional on my part and wouldn't happen under regular use.

I haven't had the issues a lot of the reviewers pointed out. HTC shot themselves in the foot by sending out those review units. They halted any potential momentum they could of had. Reminds of Essential and their botched camera at launch.

I do find the power button a little too sensitive but I honestly mostly wake my phone via the finger print scanner if I want to get all the way into the phone, or just double tap to wake if I need to see a notification. If they add a way to manually adjust the force required volume and power buttons, I think that would be perfect.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] globalgpj:
Thank you QD2DC for sharing your experiences, and others as well.

I'm a big HTC fan, but they lost me on this device purely because of the haptic buttons.

My HTC U11+ will remain my device for now, also because it has a 4000ma battery. Everything is perfect on this device.

Hopefully they will come out with a great device again soon, although I am hearing some strange rumours. Let's see what happens next.

Thank you once again everyone for all your feedback.

Cheers
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] QD2DC:
I wouldn't upgrade from the u11+ either if I had that phone. Sadly it wasn't compatible with all Verizon lte bands, so I opted for the u12 instead. But the buttons aren't terrible or unusable. They are simply not as good as regular buttons, but again, not bad, just meh.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
I agree, I wouldn't even consider buying the U12+ if I had the U11+. But I'd rather have the U12+. This button issue is waaay overrated and if I had the buttons issues and the reboot issues I would most definitely return and try for another one. From my experience, there are flawed devices out there I'm happy mine isn't one of them. No ghost buttons or reboots or button issues of any kind. Not even a little.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] rnrstar:
hi, if u don't mind sharing: what memory version/color did u buy, where did u buy and what is the manufacture date/origin? thx in advance.

ps: a video of ur phone would be nice but that's up to you as you've already stated you aren't inclined to make one.

I actually bought 6 htc 10s just for the screen issue in order to minimize chances of a bad screen (returning 5). didn't want loose buttons either. lol. 2 be honest, it's not very funny.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] shankly1985:
Got mine yesterday no issue with buttons here either.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Yes I would like to make a video. I would like to put this fake/non-working button issue to bed. I will show how well my phone performs and also hard press the edges to show there is no issues there. There must be some faulty units.

There are no ghost presses and everything works fine in my case, including double tap the sides.

I bought the 6gb/128gb translucent blue directly from HTC USA and it was shipped from Indianapolis, Indiana. Hardware version 3. Software number 1.15.617.4
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] MirageBlader:
I think I found the issue with my phone being able to press the power button at the corners. It's my case. It's ridiculous since it doesn't even get close to the power button or covers it. I make another video later.

Really sad, it's my favorite case...

Never mind, just after I wrote this I did it again. What the hell
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:

That could be your problem then. May be from the first batch.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] MirageBlader:
Replacement then I guess. Damn
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
I don't know anything about any of it. All I know is I don't have any of your issues and it's weird that I have hardware version 3 and yours doesn't.

Maybe someone who knows more about this can help figure it out.

Anyone with these issues have a hardware version number?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] billgs:
I have just received the stock unlocked EU version. I have neither a hardware version shown, nor any problems whatsoever regarding the haptic buttons. To be precise, the buttons work flawlessly, to the point it makes me wonder what the heck went wrong with all those terrible reviews.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] shankly1985:
Mine also doesn't show the Hardware version Unlocked EU version.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] MirageBlader:
I will send in mine on Monday and see how it goes. The HTC guy at the support didn't seem to have any idea of the hardware or software. I am only worried that the technican who will inspect my device doesn't know what to look at because apart from this issue with the corners my device works fine. And I already had the case with other hardware that they send it back without doing anything and said it works just fine. I will write again once I got my HTC back. Maybe it's really from the first batch and didn't show the hardware revision.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
Well I am being completely honest with you buddy, I aggressively tried to replicate your issue and it absolutely does not happen so yes, I would for sure get it replaced.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] MirageBlader:
Yeah, got that reply by many people. The lower right corner is the worse, I can really easy press it and it behave like a power button push. The upper right ist harder but still doable. Lower left is hardest and upper left doesn't do it. Really weird behavior.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] DarkRazorZ:
I'm not having any problems with the buttons. I accidentally hit the power button when putting it in my pocket sometimes but I've never accidentally pressed the volume buttons, they seem to work fine and don't register any light presses. Still a strange design for HTC to choose, though.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
All this is usually very unlike HTC, to put out unstable software. These are things that usually only happen with old custom ROM's. Even the recent few years of custom ROM's are never this unstable. Hopefully HTC gets their act together. Seems odd it's only happening to certain phones.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] MirageBlader:
Today my HTC arrived at their facility. I called them to make sure they know the issue they have to look for. They didn't, the agent wrote that my power button is broken. I had to talk to 3 agents before a girl understood the issue and wrote it down detailed and apologized. It's one of the worded customer support experience I ever had. I am working in a hotel and it's like someone requesting a towels and I bring him slippers.

Also the reviews of this repair place are horrable, 86/91 reviews are lowest points and negative. Lucky that in Germany you can't get a refund if the company isn't able to repair the devices 2 times. If this is the case, it was my last HTC. Hopefully you guys won't have those issues.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] globalgpj:
Interesting find LibertyMonger. Hardware ver 3.

Does anyone else have this information on their device?

I checked my u11+ and the last bit of info on that page is the Bluetooth address.

When did you purchase your device?

Maybe it was the first releases that have all these issues.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] LibertyMonger:
I think there was one or two people in here that say they are having these issues with hardware version 3 so I really don't know what is going on.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] MirageBlader:
Mine is a WWE HTC U12+ and it doesn't say anything with hardware revision.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] blackdog7:
Hello! I purchased this new phone.

Everthing works fine, but... sometimes as I am writing something, or just viewing, so the phone is in my hand, the volume goes up or down. Of course I don't press the side. The phone is in a spigen rugged armor case.

It is normal, that the phone is so sensitive? Or something is buggy?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] holz75:
Mine does that too. It's usually when I'm holding the phone in my right hand, and my palm is on the right side of the phone. It also will sometimes turn the screen on and off. It's just haptic weirdness.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Tachi91:
It's hardware defect. If HTC adjust the sensitivity it'll have to lower it to possibly stop the ghost presses. Which would then lead to the buttons being harder to press.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] mawoods75:
I have a similar issue... All of a sudden, the volume will just turn all the way up. I think I've narrowed it to me touching the back and the bottom at the same time, but nowhere near the buttons. Strange... Doesn't happen often, but enough for me to double-check the volume levels before I go into any meeting.

Latest software too... 1.30.617.2 for AT&T.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] asusbug:
I was wondering doing a RUU would solve any issues with the buttons?
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] mawoods75:
Only if something has gone wrong with the phone since the last update or reset. Otherwise, any issues already present in the software will remain after running the RUU.

Hy guys.... I bought this phone 2 months ago.in the last 4 days, vol + and vol- not working,only vibrate when I press de button.after restarting the phone, everything works fine,but in 2 3 days,i've got the same issue.....do I need to send it to service??

First you should try hard reset, then send it service
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] jonhyxda:
Hi guys, sorry for "revive" this thread, but I'm having some issues with volume buttons.

After some time (2/3 days) they just stop working, don't even vibrate.

After restarting the phone everything works fine again.

This issue occurs on Stock Pie and with Leedroid.

Already tried to factory reset and did not solve the issue.

Anyone had this issue?

Thank you
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] SIRKRA:
This is not normal, but if after restart they do work ok it's a software issue.

On mine i only notice that sometimes they miss ( using spigen cover that is a bit thick ) or that rarely ( let's say 1 times out of 200 unlocks ) the screen turns only touching the phone ( grounding issue maybe ).

Anyway i do restart my phone a lot.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] jonhyxda:
Thank you for your response.

I have spigen cover too and yes, it's a bit hard managing the haptic buttons, now I use a thinner case. :D

I will try to flash Kirisakura-Kernel just to check if there's something that will fix my issue.

I'm not used to needing to restart with so much frequency (my last phone was HTC 10).

Anyway, if that solves my issue I'll post back.

Worst buttons ever!

from day one the damm haptic buttons give me haedaches and after some months still with problems somethimes im just about to kick the phone, so this is my last htc phone, im moving to other brand once this phone life ends... If htc solve this problem adding a volumen control like on screen or something that dont need to use the stupid buttons or a way to calibrate them!! then i will buy the next one...
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Max128:
I have the phone since the release.. and i never got any problem with the buttons , always working fine. I am now on 2.55.401.1 and is still fine. Actually i like it. I often even forget that it's not physical buttons.

Actually you do not have to use really often the button power.. Open the power with the fingerprint and close the phone with the button power from the navigation bar.
[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Elenion13:
Use the navigation bar to add volume + and - from accesibility menu

I never had such big issues with the buttons.

Yes in the landscape mode they are not working all times i think to prevent unwanted volume change when griping ...Yes the power button is very sensitive but i got used to it so i apply exactly the right pressure it wants..

I ve found out tha using a armor case balances the buttons beter because they are not so sensitive..

This phones real problem is just the htc support and software update delays...not the buttons
