On my Jolla C the power button seems to be unreliable. Every 10th times or so when I press the power button to wake the device up nothing happens. Possibly this is a hardware issue: if I press the button too gently it does not recognise the event.

Jolla sailor spiiroin posted a software trick for this kind of hardware failure.
On my Jolla C the power button is in perfect order hardware-wise, yet it works with horrible irregular delays because of SOFTWARE problems. Sometimes I cannot unblock the phone.
It started the moment I updated SFOS to 3.1. The button worked flawlessly and instantly in SFOS 2.x and even 3.0. Immediately after refalsh to 3.1 the button stopped responding normally (I did not press it at all between the "good" and "broken" states). Subsequent update to SFOS 3.2 did nothing to fix it.
This is obviously a development blunder that might be caused by an attempt to fix overesponsive buttons of Nexus/etc.. Jplla C does not need it.

Not sure if it's the same issue, but my Jolla1 also doesn't wake up or go to sleep by pressing the power button sometimes.

Venty ( 2016-09-12 13:26:51 +0200 )editHeh, it seems that in my Nexus5/SFOS the power button is way too sensitive as it has happened twice that the device has switcched itself off in mu pocket when I am bending :)

I know this is not a widespread device, but a good technician can find some footprint compatible pushbutton easily I think.
