[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
My phone all of a sudden wont turn off. It all works fine just the power button does not work anymore. I can't turn off the screen by pressing the button once and I can't turn off the phone by holding the button down. If I take the battery out and then put it in the phone automatically boots up so it sounds like the button is stuck in the "on" position.

So now I have to leave the phone in gsm mode with, screen brightness low and auto screen turn off set to off because if the screen goes off i can't turn it on again. What a pain.

I did notice a droplet of water by the speaker when i removed the back cover but God knows how it got in there.

Anything I can do? Bought the phone second hand. Will HTC repair it?
[Touch HD General] bugsykoosh:
you can use this so that all of your buttons will work to wake up your phone: http://www.fuzemobility.com/wake-up-your-fuze-without-the-power-key/

That fixes half of your problem:)

The other possibility is testing what a long press does- if you do a long press of power does it prompt you with a warning that it is going to turn off? If so you can remap a long press of the power button to an app that will turn off the screen.

PM me if you need help as I may not see your response here.
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
Thank you so much! I could kiss you :D
[Touch HD General] sbarts:
If the screen goes off removing the sylus brings it back to life if thats any help
[Touch HD General] ghosty_uk:
i was just about to say, removing the stylus turns the screen on, well it does on my dads and soon to be (tomorrow) mine.
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
Yes I now remove the stylus to turn on my phone. Now I need another way to turn off the screen with out of course using the power button. Any ideas. At the moment I am using a long process of the action screen, shutdown, then turn of screen prcedure. There must be a quicker way or a single button press.
[Touch HD General] ez2remember:
Can't remember if AE Button Plus has an option to assign any key to turn phone to standby/screen off.
[Touch HD General] Roadrunner100:
I have a similar prob, the light on my power switch stopped working, and another weird thing is that remove the stylus doesn't perform wakeup. Any ideas?
[Touch HD General] crajee:
Roadrunner100, HD comes with 2 styli. Did U try the second one?

tboy2000, try blowing over the power switch crevices with blower of a vacuum cleaner or a air compressor (in case of compressor U should be sure that it does not spit out any oil drops).
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
I tried blowing and using a hairdryer. No luck so far. Will try vacum cleaner next.

Maybe I need to take it apart and take out the button and replace it after cleaning around it. Is this advisable? Is there a manual of how to take it apart?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
If you are still having difficulties using power button you can always use the following little app TouchOff

Copy the english files to location you saved app. i.e. if you saved app to storage card (recommended) copy files within folder to Storage Card > Program Files > Touch Off > Skins > DefaultVGA and replace files in that folder
[Touch HD General] crajee:
That's just too weak for it. Need a powerful jet of air.. It has to go through those small crevices. Also hold your HD firmly and over a soft surface to avoid damage due to an accidental fall.

If U don't mind voiding warranty you can use the manual to open it. I don't know a way of removing those 'void' tabs non destructively.. For the usual tamper proof stickers hairdryer does a good job to remove it intact easily.
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
Well I tried a vacum cleaner to no joy. It still does not want to turn off. Permantly stuck on ON position so it does work but not properly.

I use AE Button manager to map the volume button to turn on and off the screen. Will look at manual and see if it is something I want to consider.

Thanks for all the info and help. I have contributed two wiki entries for the Blackstone so it is nice to get some help back.

Any more ideas always welcome to fix this power button. :)
[Touch HD General] crajee:
tboy2000 Is it the button or the lever over the button that is stuck?

See the pic. You can separate the lever from the underlying button if lever is moving. Then this will solve your problem. If not then the button is stuck. You can try using the corner of a firm then plastic sheet to try free it. lastly opening is your only option.

BTW did U try blowing after the lever is lifted (be gentle with lifting it :)).
[Touch HD General] olly230:
From retentions I got a pretty good deal,

I had to pay £150 up front but then I was given £150 call credit...

£15/mnth contract.

I'm happy.
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
crajee: bless you for really trying to help me. Greatly appreciated! Really.

I tried lifting the button up. I did. Blew under it. Still no joy.

Occaisonally after say 30 seconds of holding the power button down, I do get the notification window (do you want to turn off your device). But it does not happen after 3 seconds as it should. Even though that occaisonally happens, it still does not turn the screen off. I am now starting to think the droplet of water under the cover near the speaker has something to do with it. God knows how it got under the cover if the cover was on.
[Touch HD General] tboy2000:
I don't know what happened but tonight my power button suddenly works fine now. Happened all by itself. Must be when I lifted up the button and blew earlier today. So thanks Crajee, if it weren't for you I would never know you could lift up the button as shown in the photo above. Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!
[Touch HD General] crajee:
tboy2000, Really glad to know your HD is back in full speed :) :D

BTW you can add resolved tag to the title of the thread as it can help others looking for similar problem.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] blackangst:
Is there a way to make the send key for example the only way to answer a call? I have accidentally either rejected a call or answered a call I didnt want to answer, or made ghost calls when its in mycase or pocket because the on screen answer/reject gets touched. Locking the device doesnt work, as ANY notification unlocks it.

Ideas?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] lbhocky19:
get s2u2 that has slide to answer or reject which you can ignore and just use buttons

or get the updated dialer from htc which also has it
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] tinushighlander:
HTC Dialer

Dear lbhocky19,

Where to get the updated HTC Dialer?

Thanks in advance!

and if you update your rom pretty much all of them have it
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] overzeetop:
Wow - a million times, thank you!

I've been beating my head in over this ever since I upgraded from an old rom (monx 1.51). First I though it was S2U2, then the new lock in 6.5, then the new lock in the newer versions of 6.1.

In the words of Yzma, "why do we even _have_ that setting (lever)?!?"

[P3400 General] deepv84:

[Wing, P4350 ROM development] mda07:
is it possible to flash any hard spl through the sd??

because i seem to have a connection issue when trying to flash normaly even tho the phone is connected to active sync...
[Wing, P4350 ROM development] ivanmmj:
1. This is not the right forum to ask in. This is for ROM Development questions only. (That way we can all keep track of new ROMs and such.)

2. No. Flashing through SD requires either a properly signed NBH (which you can't get without working for tmobile if you have a wing or HTC if you have anything else) or a phone that already has HardSPL, defeating the purpose of flashing a HardSPL ROM.
[G1 General] haykuro:
It was a nice run, but the community has drastically changed over time.

The soul reason i was tricked so easily, is because i was blind in my ignorant beliefs that XDA was a community of developers. Instead, it resulted in a split. The intelligent people, who understand hard work and help development, and the asinine, those who complain and whine and will kill to have a new release.

This is my brief resignation. I will most likely be stopping by to provide my 2 cents now and then, but no more releases from me.

A special thanks to the intelligent individuals who can understand where i'm coming from with this decision.

Good bye everyone.

also if you'd like to help my cause still (father is still unemployed, and i'm losing hours at my job now on top of it all) please feel free to donate.
[G1 General] wugui:
gg. buhbye!
[G1 General] Likeableguy:
Sorry the drama happened :( This sucks
[G1 General] Disconn3ct:
Can't say I blame you (there's a reason you don't see me often) but its a shame. :(
[G1 General] DVS_Sokar:
Don't blame you dude.. That was a punk move and You and community deserve more then that bull.
[G1 General] Renarudo:
Best of Luck

Your spirit will live on, Haykuro! Please keep your blog updated if you can (so that we have an easy location to reach when we want to donate).
[G1 General] Wisefire:
I only wish you the best of luck.

Although, I do wish you would stick around and provide us all with the amazing ROM's you produce, but you leaving is your wish.

Goodbye, Haykuro.

Edit:

So no Hero. ]: It's all good I guess.
[G1 General] A-Developed:
A Hero Down......!!! everyone donate and make sure he gets a ferrari not a damn hot wheel!!
[G1 General] fleshdeep:
[sarcasm]I didn't like your roms anyways! :([/sarcasm]

Best of luck to you and your dad.

[G1 General] Wisefire:
I don't think that feature is implemented on this forum...
[G1 General] jmotyka:
I completely understand haykuro. That's exactly what happened over at insanelymac and out osx86 developers. I was a long time member at one time moderator and irc admin then all the young dumb don't want to read search or learn teeny boppers who want us to do the hardwork and id they mess up they're parents computer its our faults. That's all these ppl do is complain complain. They don't relize the hard work we do.

Any way yes haykuro it was a good run hope to see you around though.
[G1 General] luiscortes:
Good luck on your endeavors. Hope your family stays well. Also thanks for all the hard work and effort.

[G1 General] joadchob:
so sad that you are leaving xda, but we understood your reassons, as you other guys said, try to keep ur blog updated, we will follow it. Thanks so much for everything you have done for community, i just had the chance to talk to you few times, and you seems like awesome guy, good luck haykuro and wish the best...
[G1 General] ubernicholi:
I'm gonna miss you and your awesome roms. Thank your for porting sapphire ,thank your for rooting magic. Thank you for the blazing fast ion Rom (its awesome BTW) and just in general thank you for your work on Android. You have amazing skill I hope you get a job where you can showcase your talent and get pain lots of money for it.

Its truly a sad day for xda...
[G1 General] crazythunder:
saw that coming. quitter. because of one idiot, you quit? and still want donations? lol
[G1 General] andrews240:
It is sad to see you go, but I respect your decision. You have provide a wonderful service to the community, and that will be greatly missed. Your build have been among the best.

I can also appreciate your home situation, so I will through you one last donation. It isn't much, but I hope that it helps. Keep in touch if you'd like. I am andrews240 pretty much everywhere.

The best of luck to you.
[G1 General] sianaka:
wow...

This is really sad news to come home from work to. I can't believe people are so damned stupid. Why is everyone so damned impatient. I really enjoy waiting for haykuro to finish his roms and knowing that I am not going to have any problems with my phone when I install them. I will most definately miss your work and all the effort you put in. It is very sad to see one of the best quit because of a bunch of impatient a$$holes.
[G1 General] fleshdeep:
Yea i wasnt serious. That smiley wouldhave been crying if we had one. His builds are the only one with a working htc camera (fully anyways). ****ty day for G1 users.
[G1 General] bmic:
Sorry turn out like this man, really like the work and still using one of yours.
[G1 General] DrownedElf:
That sucks. I've liked the roms you put out. I'll remain hopeful that you'll return in the future.
[G1 General] jl1030:
thanks for all the amazing Roms u provided us, hope to see u around sometime.

understand your departure

all the best, Haykuro!
[G1 General] chuckhriczko:
Haykuro,

I just want to say you are the hero to us all. It's sad that a few assholes had to ruin it for everyone but I can't blame you for wanting to leave. You are doing this out of desire for your own android phone and for all of our desires to have the latest and greatest. There is no money in this for you (save all the donations), there is no fame. There is only risk of being in legal trouble. You were doing us all a favor with your roms. You breathed absolute and utter life into the community with your roms. I for one just want to say thank you. You took time out of your day just to make the ungrateful bastards who made you leave happy and in my opinion you are truly what this community needs. Nobody has had the drive, determination and utter grace that you have shown. Honestly, I feel the community may die without you but if that is the case it is the community's fault. Sir, I salute you and truly, I thank you.

Chuck
[G1 General] jmotyka:
What in the hell is wrong with you. Its unappreciative ppl like you who make good ppl like him leave, I hope you and your dad get hit by a bus creep.
[G1 General] A-Developed:
your right I had said to get him a ferrari but he just wants retierent money thats messed up no one donate, he just wants us to fell sorry!!

and yes we are for your leaked rom but dont gho off trying to make everyone feel sorry!!

you want a donate, I want a rom easy as that!! laters haykuro!
[G1 General] Pinesal:
I guess that is the end of the Chapter titled Haykuro.

As the world turns...

Sun rise, sun set...

and all that stuff.

Hey, it's not like you are leaving for ever like Charlie from All Dogs Go to Heaven. You will still post as a "regular" member right?

Either way, thanks for all the memories.
[G1 General] fleshdeep:
Sorry my guy my dad left 13 years ago. It wasn't serious. You guys dont get sarcasm?

Like the little kid telling the ice cream man (who's ice cream he ****ing loves to death) "I didnt like your ice cream anyways!"/
[G1 General] Shane2:
I am appreciative of the work done to improve Android done, however I think this decision is somewhat rash. The internet being what it is, everybody wants something for nothing, and I do find your decision to leave is a bit strange, seeing as most people who get themselves into phone development scenes face the same issues.

Regardless, all the best
[G1 General] mr2man07:
Shut up. He was joking.:rolleyes:
[G1 General] shadowjett:
It's people like you who cant understand the stress and pressure that a community such as this puts on someone and makes idiotic decisions and doesnt respect others work and makes them give up.

Goodbye haykuro and thank for all your work.
[G1 General] Ryanmo5:
As soon as i read about what happened i removed rom from phone and took all traces of it down from blog and computer. We all appreciate your work very much and don't wanna see you go. Don't let these idiots influence what you do, there is always gonna be someone who moans, always gonna be someone who takes advantage. Still for every person like that there are 100 people on here that appreciate and support you 100%. Don't let 1 person ruin it for thousands of loyal followers.
[G1 General] METHOD1911:
Damn

Man don't let a few idiots stop u from doing what ur born to do
[G1 General] ccyrowski:
Tis' a sad day.
[G1 General] borodin1:
This is one sad day for xda-community...

Good luck Haykuro

So who do we worship now? Whos the successor? For the love of god whos going to pick up the torch???
[G1 General] :
No Don't Leave Or Come To Android Community We Are Nice :) But It's Sad Thanks For Everything You've Done Without Really For Anything You Actually Gave Back To This Community Like Everyone Should. You'll Be Missed...
[G1 General] cholito:
It was nice having you Haykuro. You will be remember like a HERO :) Hope theres more people like you.
[G1 General] slackberry:
There's always someone better...soon enough someone will step up.
[G1 General] Pinesal:
TheDude probably.
[G1 General] ggolemg:
good job guy, good job

were all proud of you, of your work

take it easy
[G1 General] terminatorxman:
I am a noob and really just learning all this. But i did like your roms better thappn some out there and was drooling over this hero video. Good luck and I hope you change your mind and drop the sickest G1 rom Hero style!
[G1 General] ckrest:
All crying aside, guys pm me with any roms and ill port them and have it done in 1 to 2 days, seriously. Put me to work.
[G1 General] MonkySlap:
Im sorry to hear you go H. You were one of the best android devs out there but its understandable why you left. I hope everything goes good in your life and your family situation improves. GL and wish you nothing but the best in your future. We have definitely lost one of the greats in this community.
[G1 General] deepb-xda:
Bye, and thanks for the fish!
[G1 General] MERKJONES:
I understand what the kid is going thru, I've had these moments myself in projects I've worked on for my friend's companies. It can get hard to deal with an ignorant group of people wanting and not understanding the time and skill it takes to do the actual work... On the flip slide, I know I'm a good deal older than Haykuro, and I've had my times where I've just quit for a while, and said "TO HELL WiTH THEM!!" But as I grew older and matured, I realized that that's human nature. It's no sole community doing this, it's not that one type of person or one group of people, it's standard human nature to want what they know nothing about, to want what they cannot produce. It's just how we are as humans. Once I finally realized it, and realized I'd be proving to myself that I could create something wonderful that all will enjoy, regardless of the backtalk and general retardation, I stopped carring what people thought. I surrounded myself with people that understood what I was doing and what I was trying to achieve. I took breaks from my work, and communication - and just did what I wanted to do.

I can honestly say that I'm not sad that you specifically are leaving, I will say I am disheartened as to why you are leaving. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors in life, hopefully as time progresses and your skills are sharpened - you will realize that people are unappreciative.
[G1 General] mr2man07:
Also, Haykuro with your skills you will go far with a job if you keep at it. IBM, HTC, any big company would love to have someone with your skills as an intern. BUT, if you are going to quit because one guy gives you **** or steals your work and takes fame, that will probably not get you far. Hold your head high, quit kicking the dirt and move on. You'll get over it, but I don't expect you to start working on any Android stuff for us anytime soon. Take your time, figure **** out and worry about yourself first bud.
[G1 General] tehseano:
Farewell in your travels Haykuro. Wish only the best for you.
[G1 General] coolmarkoo:
no man please dont leave
[G1 General] Vision77:
This officially sucks a$$. I can respect your reasons for stepping back. I hope you don't give up on developing. I appreciate your contributions to the community. Thanks again. :(
[G1 General] aiziks251:
Haykuro,

I don't know you, we've never talked before. I don't use your ROM and I can't say that I know that much about you or the situation. However I want to let you know that you have my respect, you always have. I develop apps sometimes, but the level of work that I do, and the level of work that you have done aren't even close to the same.

I'm sorry the forum is what it is sometimes. I understand that you need to step back from it. I hope that, after some time passes, you will decide to pick up the mantle again. You work will always be appreciated.
[G1 General] shadowjett:
It is "So long, and thanks for the fish!"
[G1 General] DMaverick50:
amen, his builds have been the only ones ive stuck with until the hero hype.

I feel better already, everythings gonna be ok ;)
[G1 General] jmotyka:
Sorry for that last post I didn't realize it was sarcasm it is hard to recognize sarcasm on a screen without facial expressions.
[G1 General] uberingram:
I'm not surprised.
[G1 General] g1junky:
Hey doesn't the dude of life still have the hero rom??
[G1 General] mikedmeyer:
If you're gonna get nitpicky about it, it's "So long, and thanks for all the fish."
[G1 General] crazythunder:
i actually donated to him. but i'll be damned if i'm gonna support him afterwards. his work rocked,but now he's gone. just like the rest.
[G1 General] Valicore:
I'm sure I'm not alone when I say you're always welcome. I'll also say maybe reconsider after you take a vacation from this AND when school has been out for awhile. I know it's hard enough to do a crapload a work without being criticized for it. It isn't worth it for you right now, I'm sure.

I wish you the best, and a great university and job ;)

[G1 General] shadowjett:
You beat me to the edit and have you heard the news there will be a 6th book in the trilogy, cause you know that makes sense. And sorry for this being sooo off topic.
[G1 General] mr2man07:
Same here, I mean it wasnt much ($20) but that was to help motivate him and thank him for his work on Hero as I mainly used JF's builds. But if he still wants donations for quitting then I think I'll pass.
[G1 General] DMaverick50:
i believe he does, but he doesnt seem to interested in it. perhaps we need to storm his thread like annoying, angry villagers and pester him into working his magic....you start
