Power button causing Reboots and Shutdowns in my pocket (May be solved enclosed Pic) - Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE

I was a little concerned this might happen and it has been lately. Happened twice today.
I keep my phone in my front pants pocket (usually jeans, well always jeans) and I loath using a case.
Anyway if I sit or bend too long it holds the power button in long enough to shutdown.
If I later sit or bend it hits the power button and boots back up !! How nice.
I usually notice it when it boots because it vibrates on boot.
I love the size and I actually like the buttons.
I'm gonna try putting a stripe of e-grip on either side of the power button to see if I can solve it that way.
This might be the reason for some folks "reboots".
EDIT: My current solution:

A custom ROM or MOD could simply add a menu to the shutdown button. IE: Reboot, Reboot Recovery, Shut Down, etc.

That Hold the Power Button in for 10 seconds to shutdown is a Low Level feature in place of removing the battery.
You never want to defeat that even if you could.

it should have been hold power + volume down or something. That is a bit of a shame

or something like those tiny holes where you insert a paper clip like some devices.

I think this might just work

turn on usb debugging wihout phone activated ?

I'm trying to turn on USB debugging on a phone that is not activated. So I can't get to the main home screen to get to the settings. Is there a command I can use to turn it on? The phone is not in service.
I have tried going to "adb devices" in command prompt but there is no phone listed.
Make sure the adb device drivers are installed correctly on your pc...

In some ROM's once you get to the Android screen (the first screen of the setup process), you can hit all four corners of the screen one at a time and it will allow you to by-pass the activation screens and let you get to the main screen of the phone. From there you can do anything you want. Try that.
you can try making the activation call and then ending it 3 times and see if that will let you bypass the activation screen.
or put the phone in airplane mode by holding the power button while in the call and then rebooting.
Some roms let you bypass by long pressing or pressing the home button three times.

Well, I found a pretty simple fix. Remove the sim card and boot up ! Then you can skip through all that stuff and get to the home screen. Then turn on usb debugging.

Try to check if the back part of the phone is loosen somehow after the drop. I have the same problem after disassembly the phone today, I push the back part around the camera against the LCD to make sure everything is intact and restart the phone. I have the fingerprint setting back.

I was having the same problem after the Nougat update. This fixed the problem. Took off my minimal case and back cover, cleaned everything with a microfiber cloth, put it back together and rebooted. Voila, my fingerprint settings were back.
Thanks.

I had the same issue, I went into hardware control mode then back to normal phone use and it sorted it self out. Tunn off phone hold down power and volume Up and Down together for 10 seconds. It will start in hardware control mode presss power button and phone will restart. This should clear the fault.

Umidigi One Pro wont go back to "sleep"

Hey Guys,
I have just gotten a fresh Umidigi One Pro like 8 hours ago. Yay, at last, a brand new Phone.. Looks awesome and all BUT
Whenever it gets a Message via Email, Message or anything else that shortly lits up the screen, it will NOT go back to sleep, unless I open the Phone and turn it off again.
I had checked the settings and put Android inactivity thing to 30 Seconds where no inputs where made.
I have just now deactivated the messages on lockscreen completely and I am waiting for a information that I have received a new message (sent one for testing purpose).. and the screen STILL lit up again, even though not showing a message!
Any Ideas why Android isn't goint to sleep automatically? Because when it does not turn off, itgets more and more hot. I just had it only realized that i got DAAAAAMN hot, cuz it slid under the pillow.
I am completely puzzled about this, as my old MIUI usually turned off just after a few seconds (like 5-10 Secs latest) ...
It just now happened to happen AGAIN, my Email must have arrived, it does NOT show on the lockscreen, all in all i see like nothing beside Network+Wifi Signal, Battery, Time and Mic, Avatar and Camera Icon in the bottom.
It kind of pisses me off, as this would mess up Batterytime badly. I would love to keep the Phone, as it really looks awesome to me. Thats kind of a flaw, or maybe even damaged Phone?
I would love to hear from you that I just miss a feature and how to fix it.....
Thanks!
Mhm, the only way I found that would stop to lit up the Screen and not turning off again, is to turn off the processes in the background completely using DuraSpeed ... damn ... useless.

I must confirm this issue. After notification phone display is constantly on. Really annoying.
This is a problem... Potentially deal breaker. What's crazy is if you search for ambient display in settings it shows to be under the battery menu however, it's not there when I look for it.
I found an adb command that supposed to turn off wake screen on notification but I can't try it out right now for lack of computer.
If anyone wants you try, it's
adb shell settings put secure doze_enabled
Please let us know if it works.

How do you take a screenshot?

I've tried power button and either of the vol keys and nothing.
ok, figured it out - just use the Screen Write function using the s-pen

Or use sidebutton and volume down simultaneously. Or use the side of your hand and wipe from left to right.

The Bixby button. On top off of the volume keys.
For me the gesture works. Just hold your hand if you would shake somebody's hand. And then swipe across the screen from left to right. Works for me everytime.

Press the power button and the volume down button together for about 1 second and then release the buttons EVEN IF YOU DO NOT SEE the white flash confirming the screenshot. Only AFTER you release the buttons do you see the white flash. This works differently from previous versions of Galaxy Tabs, and it can be quite deceptive.
Of course, you can also use the S-Pen and the palm swipe action to take screenshots as mentioned in the other posts.
Same way on the Note 10+. It's hard to get used to, as holding down the volume down button and power button now brings up the power menu. I have to retrain my brain to just press them both down at the same time and release.
Its a quick press of volume down and power at same time. No need to hold them down for a 1 sec or anything..just push let go[emoji16]

I've installed "Good Lock" (NiceLock) with the module "NiceShot" and "NavStar"

Screen switches off after startup

Hi everyone,
I've just bought a brand new display for my sm-t860 that I haven't used for few months. After I installed it and turned it on I was happy when I saw familiar logon screen appearing. Unfortunately my joy only lasted for few seconds as screen switched off after android loaded up.
It happens every time I try to power it on. After system loads screen instantly switches off in the same manner like when you press the power button to turn off the display. It even makes the same sound even though the button wasn't pressed. You can see whole sequence on attached video.
Anyone have idea what could be the reason for this error? Tablet was fully functional before changing the display.

Anyone has idea what this chip is? I noticed it was getting extremely hot when the home screen loaded before display went off like always. Then some absurd idea came to my head and I started tapping it repeatedly while booting. It did a trick as the chip were getting less hot and display stayed on for few more seconds. After few more series of this treatment display stayed on for 10 minutes and I thought the issue is solved. Unfortunately after I opened numerous tabs in web browser system froze and never recovered.
I couldn't even power it on after that so I laid it off for 30 minutes and it's working again but the chip is still getting hot. Tapping works but I need to find the source of this issue rather than try to deal with symptoms.
