Pressure-sensitive buttons
and Edge Sense
Do's and don'ts with pressure-sensitive buttons
In addition to Edge Sense, which makes the phone sensitive to how you squeeze or hold it in your
hand, HTC EXODUS 1 also uses pressure-sensitive buttons. Unlike conventional mechanical
buttons, you'll feel vibration feedback when you press the POWER and VOLUME buttons.
1. VOLUME UP
2. VOLUME DOWN
3. POWER
Here are a few things to keep in mind when using these buttons:
§ These buttons are sensitive to the amount of pressure your finger exerts on them.
§ Use the protective case that's included in the box with HTC EXODUS 1. It helps to maximize
the experience when using this type of buttons. See Using the protective case on page 20.
§ Only one button can be active at a time. Do not press multiple buttons such as POWER and
VOLUME UP or DOWN at the same time.
Because of this, the way to capture screenshots and restart the phone will be different for
HTC EXODUS 1. For details, see Ways to capture screenshots on page 52 and Restarting
HTC EXODUS 1 (Soft reset) on page 56.
§ If there's no response after you've pressed a button, try pressing it repeatedly until you get
the right pressure. Also, using your left-hand finger may apply a different pressure level
compared to your right-hand finger, so you may need to try pressing the buttons a few times
to get the right pressure.
If there's no response when you press on the buttons, it could also mean that there may not be
enough battery power on the phone. Charge your phone for several minutes and try pressing the
POWER button again.
§ Each button has its own sensor. If you misplaced your finger while pressing—such as
accidentally touching somewhere between two buttons—the sensors may not know which
button you're pressing.
