Hi All, I have owned a lot of HTC phones and now I have the HD, its the first time I see HTC phone with such small, thin, and hard to press power button !!
especially in the dark, I cant press it and wake up my phone easily !!
I MANAGED TO TWEAK MY HD and now I wake up my device pressing the volume button, but again I have new problem : sometimes when I carry my phone the volume get pressed by mistake and the ringer get muted or low and I miss some calls !!!
Any solution for this problem so I can wake up my phone from the standby without pressing the microscopic power button !!
Take out the stylus and insert it back again. That wakes up the device. Otherwise you might want to search for a G-sensor enabled "wake-up" application. "Shake_it_to_wake" so to speak...

How can you use it to wake up the device? I don't see that option in the description, except the default stylus in and out...

I guess S2U won´t help you with waking up your device but if you use volume buttons it will protect you from accidental muting your phone.
I found power hard to press, too, but then I looked closely: This power 'button' is indeed non-symmetrical - at least on *my* device: it stands up a bit on one side, the left side, which is closer to the middle of the HD. So I press it *there*, because obviously enough that's the place where the sensor is located. It works easy every time.

Can you tell me how?
Ducasito. Good observation. I wondered why sometime it was easy and sometimes hard. So the slight non-symmetrical button is not a manufacturing fault but a very subtle design feature. Now I know which side to hit. Thanks
Seems all HD's are different OR I have a very heavy finger.
All I need to do to get it to wake it lightly touch the power button and it comes on.

I suppose it is just a matter of "where" you push the button. Just push it on the left edge (where the small led is placed) and you will not need that much pressure to switch the device on or off. The button sensor is actually under that left edge. the picture shows the powerbutton part (picture taken from the HTC Touch HD service manual). Under the left edge of it is the sensor, so putting the pressure there is the best way of pressing the button

You can use AE button plus. I use this to convert my volum buttons to up and down buttons on single click, select/ok on double click, and volume on hold and press.
Thanks for your answer but I´ve a further question:
Do you "wake up" (from standby) the blackstone by using this AE button? I tried to use this software but I couldn`t wake up the Touch HD from standby by using the volume buttons.
When I have my phone in my pocket, I find that it often wakes up and drains the battery because the power button gets pressed with it moving around. Can we disable this and have ONLY the home button wake the device?

Try Villain Rom. Once you've installed, there are tweaks to prevent either the home or power buttons from waking the phone. That's the only way I know at the moment:

Use a case mate barely there case, when fitted the power button is now resesed do unlikely to get pressed by accident

Is there a way to change the wake device button on the HD2 with a WP7.8 rom?
I don't want to keep waking it up with the end call power button =\
I already achieved the power-off button to be the windows key, but still, can only wake the device with the end call key =\
Thanks to anyone who can help
here it is
link:http://windowsphonehacker.com/download/touchWake.xap
with this app you can wake your device with window button
just install, run and enable!
but I didn't use it so i don't know that app really works;;
Don't think it works on the HD2 :S I think it's because we have no capacitive buttons... We have physic buttons!
Still, thanks for the suggestion. It is what I'm looking for really. Any button to wake up the device.

It's not possible, i did some tests and i noticed that the volume buttons work like power button only for a few second after screen off.
I've remapped keys and i've assigned to key 114 (volume down) the value POWER WAKE. It works fine only for a few second...it is as if the system stops feel the volume keys a few seconds after turning off the screen.
I tried on these occasions to join the pin's connector with a screwdriver and the screen is on .... then the power button feels right.
I'd like find a way to hear the system the volume button to hear the system the volume button after a few seconds after turning off the screen
Well, title's pretty explanatory :b My power button has become mushy, and not at all tactile to press. Anyone else with the same feel? What to do?
Bought it on launch day..
Mine is very clicky. You could either try using a case that has a bump over the buttons to help make it feel more clicky, or try contacting support and see if you can get a replacement.
How many times have you pressed it more firmly than you should?
We all, tend to do that when we enter a lot in the recovery using the button method instead of the advance reboot option available in the developers' option.
Why exactly do you use that button?
(I suffered from the same behaviour on a Google Nexus 4)
I wish I could say I'm surprised but I'm not impressed with the build quality of this phone and expect that the various buttons and ports will go bad for a lot of owners. I'm already having problems with the headphone jack and my phone is just 3 weeks old.
I rarely use the power button. Double tap home button to sleep and use the fingerprint or double tap to wake.
I sometimes accidentally press the power button, but that's about all the usage mine sees.

Rarely. There are options even for that. Can use an app if I really want to.
