The button generally is fine, it really sounds like your is defective, it shouldn't click as far as I know

I hated it at first since I had gotten so used to not having one but, now I LOVE it.
Mine isn't loose or anything, Maybe you should go back to store and see what they think?
It is kind of low but I use the rock quicksand case which leaves the bottom area open so no issues there.

The physical home button is pretty annoying. All capacitive like in the One X was much better.

and my phone gets MAD hot.. temperature says 48degrees C right now

I love it! Mine is solid and silent; yours is probably defective.

Capacitive buttons are MUCH better than physical ones.

For the people who don't like it: did you know you can wake the phone using it instead of the power button? That's something you can't do with a capacitive home button...

Don't like the button. What good is it that my home button can unlock the phone when i hate pressing the button?

If you don't like the home button, you can use this program called Task Changer to put a virtual home right above the physical one:

Given the great placement of the power button in Samsung phones, that's nothing to write home about.

The home button works perfectly. It has a positive feel you just don't get with the capacitive buttons.

Edit....my bad, thought you were asking, not recommending

I might use these if I didn't have a choice but I have friends still using old captivates and Nexus S's and the like.. Buttons all still work just fine, same as they did when they bought the phone. Not sure why people want to "save" the physical keys. I prefer to use touch recovery as well, but only because its faster..

The hardware buttons used to wear out on the HD2, probably still do, but that's partially due to it's incredible OS longevity.

Use GMD Gesturecontrol for everything. Incredible app.

If your worried about your buttons wearing out, why not be worried about the screen, battery or speaker wearing out? I'm so worried now I just not gonna use my phone at all anymore. Wait, now I'm worried about my legs wearing out. Forget walking.

Physical buttons do wear out over time though, someone who used the same phone as I used to had an issue with his volume buttons wearing out so he could not use CWM and it took us forever to get TWRP ported.

Wow really, someone softbricked during a flash and it broke their physical keys? Sounds like there's more to that like maybe perhaps they flashed something they shouldn't have But even still that's a different scenario- your physical DONT work. My point was, having your hard keys or physical keys stop working is a pretty rare occurrence. I've never heard if it. Now dropping your phone, f****ing up your phone so the keys don't work is a different story. But as far as "saving" your physical keys.. there's no such thing. What your doing now is not using them... which I guess you could say is saving them... but not really, its more like an alternative

I've never ever heard of physical buttons wearing out. That's a defect and shouldn't happen, within reason. I expect my keys or buttons to last as long as I have the phone. Seriously... how many uses can a person expect to have with a button on a device? Nowadays things are built much better than 10 or even 5 years ago... It/they shouldn't wear out. Not on a phone. Not on a phone that is only a couple years old.

what i mean is if someone already have broken buttons and flashed his phone and suddenly something went wrong and softbricked it, you cant access the recovery or download mode because you have broken keys.
i did not say you dont used your keys, this apps will only help you to used the physical keys often that will save them from wearing out.
i think hardware not created equal maybe someone's key last forever someone in a year or two or broke their keys after warranty period.
this tip is not for all though..

Holy crap, seriously? So a simple button remap should work? Anyone any idea how the button map files should be modified to make this work.. (Long time out of the low level customization business )

I like the button placement on the top left. Last year on the One X is was on the right side... That was a bit hard to reach.
They included the IR Blaster in the Power Button. That could be a reason why its on the top.

It could be, but you'd have a landscape remote. Power button placement should take precedence over a gimmicky feature most people won't use. I don't speak for everyone, but even as a geeky person, I'd rather reach for the remote than pull my phone out of my pocket, unlock it, and launch a remote control app to do the same thing.

Seriously? I've been wishing they'd do this for years. It's a universal (programmable) remote too so I can do my TV, Stereo (which I actually use a lot) and Roku box. It's a great feature.
Plus, if I'm sitting down, especially on a couch, I usually have already pulled my phone out of my pocket.

I wonder if the issue is really just hypothetical, as in the people who object don't have their One yet. I guess I'm lucky cause I had a Nokia and an iPhone before this so I've had the button on the top for several years. I'm concerned too about how tall the phone is but I have a case already and it isn't a problem to shift the phone slightly to get my finger up there (I have small hands).
That, the battery and the MicroSD card are non issues for me, but then I might be in the minority too. I've never been more excited to own or impressed with the design of a phone. In fact it's a little embarrassing how hard it is to wait two weeks.

It was still on the top in the one x, just the right side of the top compared to the left now. (it's always been top right iirc for htc and iphones) minus maybe small exception. I think right top is better for right handers... But as htc knows... Most people are left handed... /sarcasm this must be why they chose the left side now.

Actually, top left is better for right-handers because it allows you to fully stretch your finger, rather than cramping it in an awkward position if it's on the top right. But personally, if there was no IR Blaster, I would prefer it on the right side of the phone because it's so much easier and more natural to hit it with your thumb, with the way you hold a phone.

Yeah, that depends I guess on individual. Having owned htc phones and an ipod, and being right handed I prefer it be on the right side... So probably more about hand size. I've tried to hit the top left of my current phone as if it was the htc one to see the comfort... Doesn't work for me

Really? Okay great... Pretty long time ago that I have played with HTC devices. But anyway, this is the problem. I have root, can modify files in the system directory. But all those changes are undone when rebooting the devices, i.e. the changes are not permanent. Because the keymap files are loaded when booting the device there's really no way to change anything.
Anyone? Non permanent write access ?

Criticisms about HTC's choice in buttons

So I got the HTC One today and I have to say the build quality is out of this world. But I have a few gripes about it and I was wondering if anyone had the same opinions. First the feedback from the softkeys is really weak. I barely feel the vibration when I hit the key. This is especially an issue when I have to double tap the home key for the multitasking screen. I'm also getting incredibly irritated with the location of the power key. It literally could not be further for me to reach when I'm using the phone. I came from an S3 where the power button was on the side and feedback from the soft keys is always a good intensity. Maybe I'm being too critical but I'm wondering if anyone else is getting bothered by these issues.

You may have a point but do we really need to start a thread for this? Just add it to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2247601

I too am not the biggest fan of the power button being at the top. I have my screens set up to be used one handed, but the power button ruins it
I switched to Revolution HD ROM, which has a feature to use the volume up/down keys to wake the phone up, but I am slightly concerned about performance. I might be wrong, but I think the stock ROM was smoother (especially when opening and closing the apps draw). I will compare it with a friend's phone today.

I feel so sad for this

OK, had a look at the stock rom and the same lag is there. Will stick with Revolution HD Rom.

Either they fix this or I don't feel them unresponsive. They are working good enough for me.

You can use the HTC logo or the menu buttons to turn screen on and off on alot of the custom kernels. I don't even use my power button any more

The power button is at the top so that the you can point the phone straight forward when using the IR blaster. Not sure why everyone is overlooking this. As for the buttons, I don't see a problem with them. The lack of a menu key annoyed me but I re-enabled the long press back for menu and it's been fine.

We could have one more button yes. But there are phones with power button on the left so that's not a "mistake"

I was about to say the same thing...it would have been great to have the power button on the side about two-thirds up (Samsung Galaxy style) and the IR blaster on the top. It would have also been cool if they had put a second wide-angle IR blaster on the back of the phone (for example somewhere near the camera lens). The gyroscope could determine which IR port would be active...when the phone is horizontal, it would use the IR port on top, and when the phone is upright and in the normal viewing position it would switch to the IR port on the back. This would permit you to hold your phone in a normal manner and push the remote app buttons without having to swing your phone horizontally and point it at your equipment like a traditional remote control, which is kind of silly when you think about it.

Exactly. Everyone needs to stop complaining about where the power button is, pick up ya damn phone and turn it on and then everything you need is well within reach.
For me personally I don't care I like the button where it is, I usually leave my phone on a flat surface and when I pick it up or turn it on my index finger is already in the general area. NBD.

Same issue for me. Its grounding because my hand is also on the metal frame of the phone. If I put the phone down and tap the home button it registers, same if the phone is flat in my hand and not touching the frame, works perfectly. Really annoying.

Major home button issues for me too. I had to switch to on screen buttons because I was getting too many missed home button taps and it was driving me mad.
Wondering if it's a hardware issue with all of them or just some. Maybe the people who don't have issue just have oilier or sweatier hands as very dry hands seem to make the home button less sensitive.

I think it's about getting used to this home button. In starting I too had issues with home button but now I don't. Just give it some time.

If you have oily or sweaty hands and not really dry ones then you probably won't have an issue ... until winter.

Haha! Yeah. True. The official forums are full of people getting really irate with this.
Mine's fine -- acts up every now and then. I've added an assistive touch button instead of activating the on-screen nav buttons. Saves space and is generally not intrusive -- sort of like the way Apple's own assistive touch button is.

I wish it was a feature, but honestly, it seems like a design flaw. It doesn't seem like it's affecting all the devices, but it definitely is affecting the one that I received today. If I push the home button like a physical button it works fine, but if I tap like a capacitive button it doesn't work often. My guess is that there's no way around this, and that Oneplus won't consider it a problem.

What batch do you have? Mine is dated 08.10.2015 on the back of the box. I'm wondering if it's device specific.

Wow are you are the one I was looking for, I ordered Honor 7 from small for UK and meantime I got Invite for Onwplus 2 which make me confused and I don't want to sell my account to someone so I ordered two days ago and not processed yet, same thing with Honor 7 ordered on 2nd but still waiting
I like both phone but price for Honor 7 is simply just blow OP2 and premium body, Irda, FM radio, Cat 6 and fast charge so Honor 7 is my 1st choice, I am plan to sell OP2 as it comes without even opening as there is NO point keep two phone without NFC as Android pay is just around the corner, As you are having OP2 and H7 I would like opportunity so ask you about with
