Power button

Yeah I have some issues with mine. It'll sometimes not lock the phone and it'll register as being held down instead. It's not too serious for me, though.

Use the volume button to unlock the phone. I am doing the same.

Just open up your phone and clean the dip switch with some rubbing alcohol, not to much but do it a couple of times. Make sure to let it dry before you turn it back on.
This fixed mine.
That worked for me as well. When I bought my phone, the power button was so sensitive that even the slightest amount of pressure on it would cause it to boot or turn the screen off. I was going to return the phone, but a few minutes work with alcohol and a Q-tip saved me the hassle.
Cleaning my button worked for me, but that was 3 months ago and now its back to not working. Worst part is that my volume buttons arent feeling to healthy either! Hopefully it holds on until upgrade time .
Don't be a p**** take your phone apart dab your button with some electronics cleaner and press the button a few hundred times and repeat and then put it back together.

If you guys are going to be opening the phone again at some point, it would be a great idea to take a couple of picture.
I think that my cappy is about to have the same issue (sometimes it doesn't recognize the power button) and it would be nice to have some king of guide to do the cleaning.

Yes, if you upgrade the phone, the new one comes with a new power button - problem solved!
Hey now, some of us still like to keep our phones maintained until we do get a new phone
Or.... can't afford a new phone every 2 years... 199.99 isn't cheap
(or 700 for unlocked and off contract)
