Help More power button issues

ashpurs

Lurker
Ive had my HTC desire 2 years and never had any problems with it. My phone was out of juice this morning and just sat on my bedside table. All of a sudden it started trying to turn itself on and failing as there wasnt enough power in the battery. Eventually it stopped as I assume the battery went completely dead.

When I put it on to charge it started up straight away and now I cant lock the phone with the power button or bring up the turn off menu. Its as if the power button is permenantly on as If I take the battery out the phone starts up as soon as I reinsert the battery.

I dont think the power button is physically stuck down as I can press it and hear a little click.

I know after looking online the desire seems to suffer from a lot of power button issues.

I have a One X arriving on Monday so its not the end of the world but I would like to try and fix this issue so i can use my desire as a backup phone.

Any Ideas?

Let me know if you need anymore info.
 
If the device isn't defective, then maybe a "reset" or "uninstall" all the applications that you don't use on a regular might fix the issue. Hopefully you'll catch the "rogue" app by doing so. シ
