Help Power button reset

[Styxx]

Hi guys. I've got a problem with my OneX+. If you hold the power button in for long enough, the device will reset itself. This is obviously a feature to enable a user to reset the phone if it crashes, my problem is that I keep accidentally resetting the phone when I am kneeling with it in my pocket because of the location of the power button.

Is there any way to turn this feature off?

Also, on a side note, does anybody know when Android 4.4 will be rolling out?

If it's anything like the One X, the long power button press is a hardware thing and you can't turn it off.

Also, last I read, 4.4 had only been confirmed for this years handsets The One, The One Max & The One Mini.

Well, that's annoying. Depending on what I'm doing in a day I tend to end up resetting it around 5 or 6 times!

Disappointing about 4.4, I'd hope they'll roll it out after this year's models have been updated. Don't see why the OneX and OneX+ wouldn't get it. Thanks for the response dude!

Yeah, there's no real reason for HTC not to roll out 4.4. It's supposed to run on handsets with 512MB RAM, so it's not as if the X+ isn't capable.

Except that they're in the business of selling new handsets.

Carrying your phone in a pocket is asking for problems IMHO. My friend does that and his Big Samsung is constantly dropping out and getting lost. I use a belt case with a magnetic latch that was left over from my previous Tracfone. I got it on eBay for about six dollars and I have never dropped or lost any phone. ;-)

Mine never falls out of my pocket, I keep it in a case so I think that helps. Frankly I'd be more likely to notice if it was gone from my pocket than if it was gone from my belt.
