ROG phone 2 power button is dying

[mervynpaulparon]

Please tell us some basic information before asking for help:
Model Name: 512GB 12GB version
Firmware Version: xxxx. 2009.49
Rooted or not: Not
Frequency of Occurrence: After 9-10months
APP Name & APP Version (If your issue relates to the app):
In addition to information above, please also provide as much details as you can, e.g., using scenario, what troubleshooting you've already done, screenshot, etc.
========================================
Like the other users here in the forum, my phone's power button is now stuck. It will only work after applying extra pressure and I don't like to do that. I NEVER had this issue before with my previous phones and this is the most expensive I bought so far. I hope ROG phone 3 don't have this issue.

With this, I would like to ask the devs to add lock button in the notification panel(drop down) so we users have this option to lock.

I waste my time having to go out to homescreen just to lock my phone. I even bought 3rd party lock icon. The problem is it is always disabled by the system and have to reactivate.

I don't trust sending a glass phone to the service center as I know they will have to fully open my phone which might get further hardware issues.

I already covered that in my post. You need to be in the homescreen to double tap, which is somehow annoying. Like I'm playing a game and then want to lock the phone for a moment. I need to exit and go to homescreen and double tap. But if it's there in the drop down then I don't need to exit my game or any open app. Just swipe down and lock.
