I got a Ballistic SG case today and installed it on my phone. After a few hours of using it, the power button mysteriously stopped working. I was able to make it so the volume button unlocks it, but now I can't lock the phone and have to battery pull to turn it off (and it just turns back on, as if the power button is perma-pushed). Does anyone know what i can do about this? Does this seem like a hardware malfunction? Should I not use the case? Thanks for any help
Same case mine is fine.

Best case ever
Tried many cases in the past and the Ballistic Case is the best. Since i purchased it I never have thought about changing cases.

My girlfriends rooted (MIUI) evo is not registering all keys. I have tried cyanogen and miui.us 1.7.1 and 1.7.8. They keyboard functions but misses I, k and n.
I noticed actually that it effects the screen keyboard or not and doesn't register in that specific grid. Any tips? We've tried reflashing and wiping data etc. Nothing seems to be working.

When the keyboard isn't up, do those areas of the screen register?
No they don't.

Sounds like a defective screen.
If you have TEP the Sprint store can assist you.
Just recently occurred though. The device hasn't been hit with any excessive shock and the screen shows no signs of damage. Well see what we cab do though

It may just be defective.
Electronics fail.
My Evo's back button light went out the other day and it's never been dropped.
Happens.
Bummer. Guess I'll have to unroot it so she can turn it in and get it replaced.

Yeah, as long as there's no obvious physical damage it should be a very quick repair process.
I bought a Nexus4 a couple of weeks ago. I constantly got this issue, it will be stuck and not return to the normal screen even I keep pressing the power button. However, if the other side of the call hangs up quickly, it normally works fine. but if it is directed to a voice mail box, it will be stuck forever until I shutdown the phone.
Just wondering has anyone experienced the same issue ?
Have you put a screen protector on it?

It sounds like the proximity sensor on your phone is being blocked you might want to try not using your case and see if its make any difference

Turns out the screen protector is the evil.
Thanks a lot!
i love the nexus 4, the only thing that drives me mad is the power button on the side.
I'm always finding the screen on and unlocked when pulling the phone out my pocket
has anyone found any apps or any tips how to stop this??

It never happened to me, I guess something is wrong with your power button.

what do you think? is the problem in hardware or in software?
if the problem in software, there are a lot of apps doing what you want (on off restart whatever) , and you can install one of them.

If the button itself is defective and you are not under warranty you may be able to find a replacement on ebay. I have seen various phones being parted out there and the button should come with a replacement rear cover. If it is the actual switch on the motherboard you have a different problem though. Have you removed the rear case to test that switch? It can be done with a torx t5 screwdriver, a couple of guitar picks and a half hour of patience.

it seems to me something went wrong with your rom.. try to reinstall it by N-cry toolkit.. and then install one of those apps which gives you no need to this button anymore. just like what I do.

try long pressing the power button, for 15+ seconds. does it power off? if it powered off, boot it back up.. did it fix your issue?

this same thing happened to me a while back. and force rebooting fixed it right away. it was just a software derp, hasnt happened since.
Screen went all wonky and virtually unusable. Rebooted it a few times and it never got better. I was going to factory reset it but this is what the factory recovery looks like which makes me think it is hardware related. Its been in an otterbox defender since purchase and I haven't had time to do anything that would brick it. I had installed nova launcher, widget locker, and my regular loadout of apps but nothing too fancy yet.
Just pulled it out of pocket and saw static. I guess its going back to Verizon tomorrow.

On a serious note hope you get it sorted, take it back for a replacement. :laugh:

Probably a special "feature Verizon added in.
Sorry I despise them, anyway, definitely return that sucker for a new one.

Poor the HTC I+D and design team.. put on our hands an extreme beautifully designed device for people like you put on them those awful cases.. besides being the strength of the brand and model.
