probably been found before but i've found if i hold down the bottom left of the phone (under and to the left of the home key) i get a 'recent' menu pop up with all the apps i've used recently.
do the same on the other corner and you get the 'speak now' pop up
common knowledge??
Yeah, it's common knowledge.
Welcome to the world of Android .Yes this is extreme common knowledge across all android devices. Good effort though.
If you hold power and volume down you enter a secret menu when the phone powers up.
Just found this out by accident today

its actually just a long press of the home key and same for the search key. NOT under and to the left of the key. Just press and hold the home key for 1.5-2sec and release and youll get it to pop up.
but yeah thats common android like everyone else said.

You are not hitting a secret button, you are long pressing the home button and the search button.
Common knowledge.
Long press the "Menu" button and the keyboard pops up... betcha didn't know THAT, now, didja? ~
Long press the back button and it goes back a page in most apps!

That would be the hboot and fast boot menus, more useful if you're going to root.
i know it's annoying but i'll ask anyway,
in brief, what is rooting?

In a short explanation, Rooting is taking the panties off your phone and exposing the goods, and what you can do with those goods.

Yep.. It allows you to permanently write to the "root" directories of your phone... Most importantly, the /boot & /system partitions...

Yea what ever you do don't push the big red button that says do not press (located under the LCD) I had to learn the hard way.
How about long-pressing the power button. Did you know it brings up a menu to turn your phone OFF!?! OMFGWTFBBQ!?!!
Here comes the trolls and **** boys. Obviously he's new to Android, no need to start jokes.

Hey guys I just got my attic in the mail and I have a weird problem. The home and search capacitive buttons don’t do anything when I press them it vibrates and... nothing. I'll try power cycling maybe some other fix you could think of?
Edit: power cycle worked feel free to delete this thread

Folks,
I am a proud owner of the One. Although sexy, the IR/Lock button is crazy to reach. If we wear a case, forget it! It's very out of the way. I've come up with a solution on my own, though it costed some money. But it is only a temporary fix / enhancement. I am currently using wave control to unlock the phone's screen. Unfortunately it relies on the sensor, so it does take time to register most movements. Very unhandy in the dark.
How are you guys going about with unlocking the phone?
Custom kernel with sweep to wake or volume buttons to wake
Physically open up the phone
Pry off the current physical lock button
Solder on a new button and place that button wherever you want! That's what I did but the button doesn't work so I can't unlock the phone.

A really easy way to do this is to install android revolution from mike. Link is up top...paste button is stubborn...
Ha! Won't be welding any time soon.
I found out that CleanRom 2.0 actually has wake lock through volume buttons. Some one mentioned above about it being in a kernel. I did a dirty flash, maybe that's why it did not work properly in the first place. Cleared it up!
Folks without any custom roms will have the same issue, though. Please continue on the discussion about any alternative solutions!

Custom kernel that lets you program the HTC logo for wake/sleep. It's perfect.:good:

So, as the title says hardware problem and there are few things I want to know about. Have anyone got the problem about power button position on the inside is lower than the volume buttons? My bro and me got the same XU and never have problem except this one. My Xperia U has the lowest power button than my brother. If that's my phone's factory fault, can I repair it by disassemble it and settling the buttons back? I got no problem but I have to press hard for power button and there are no pressable home button to wake my device up. My problem is normal or not? Please answer me dear bros. Thanks.

If you have a guarantee, I'd recommend you take it to the store since its a factory problem. If you don't have a guarantee, there's some apps which let you use the volume buttons to turn the screen on. I don't know the names since I've never used one but I've seen it in here so you can use the search bar to look for them

They told me to wait for changing my handset dear bro. I'm waiting. Everything's went so bad. They told me that it wouldn't gets so wrong. But it's definitely sure that I have very stupid power button. You're right bro. I should have brought my brother handset, too. Now I'm in anxiety because it's only one week old. Now, I press so hard the power button and it annoys me. Anyway, I thank you so much for helping me out. Now I'll have to wait for answer.

Hi,
I was looking at Github's Spoon-Knife repo, and decided to clone it.
After inspecting the html file, all it really does is display a gif with funny text below it. However there is JavaScript, that appears to do something when a key is pressed, showing a 'rainbow message'.
Here is the code:
Code:
var keyCodes=new Array(10);
var pattern=[38,38,40,40,37,39,37,39,66,65];
function keydownHandler(e){
keyCodes.shift();
keyCodes.push(e.keyCode);
if(keyCodes.every(function(element, index, array){return element===pattern[index];})){
document.getElementById("rainbow-message").style.display="";
}
}
window.onkeydown=keydownHandler;
Here is the repo:
https://github.com/octocat/Spoon-Knife
I'm very interested to know what this could be as I am certain it's a joke.
Thanks,
Wolf
It just set css's display-attribute from "rainbow-message" to nothing (shows it), if one of the special keys (one of "pattern") is pressed.
Kind Regards

LOL, I didn't notice at first but when I looked at the pattern array again, the "38,38,40,40,37,39,37,39" part is pretty obvious. :victory:
Konami code, classic one.
Sorry people I got no idea what is the perfect verb to put. As you know the power button should be emerging from the phone, but as I chat a lot and close the phone between messages and stuff it became.. "bent" in?
I cant really put pictures at the moment as I have no camera, but the point is, I can't use the phone properly now.. Sometimes when I try to put the phone to sleep it restarts, or pops up the "power menu" (Reboot, power off..etc) . And sometimes when I am using it the backlights just start flashing and bam, the phone reboots alone.. more terribely it sometimes just becomes stuck in a boot loop due to power button restarting the phone over and over again lol ?
So the question isnt really software but hardware, I tried the pin that you use to bring out the sim slot to try and push the power button out, but well.. It doesnt fit. Anyone got any idea what to do ?
Take the cover off and reposition the button.

Seems like there wont be any other way other than opening the cover. Guess I will just send it to a local shop to reposition.. Shouldn't cost much..
An advice for others, use the swipe2wake if you can lol ..
Is there a tool similar to the IOS's accessibility tool? You know that little box that you press on and you can choose the "Home button" or "Sleep" ..etc?

Found a recent one, Floating Toucher.. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355373
Its quite similar, maybe not the best RAM optimized, its a bit laggy but should do the trick. For those interested, have fun. and support the developer.
For those who don't know what I am talking about its called "Assistive touch" on the IOS.
Best of luck, thanks Lloir
