Screen Issues after phone calls...

Hi, I tries searching for the solution to this by the "symptoms", and nothing came out, sorry to open a new thread for my own doubt but...
Whenever I make a call longer than 30 sec (which is when the screen dims down), after the call ended (either by me or the caller hanging) the screen stays dimmed down, and for some reason the everything in the Start Menu bar (except the task manager) is unresponsive through touch. The rest of my today screen still responds to touch or d pads, both on screen softkeys work. The start menu is only accessible with the default win button.
The only way I have found to correct this is by pressing the power button twice (going to standby and back). It's not a huge deal, but it is somewhat frustrating.
Any ideas or fixes?
Thanks in advance =)
EDIT: I'm using stock rom and HTC Dialer.

btw, anyone else having this issue?

I also have this issue but no solution (or i can't find the solution) till now. I think it is the bug in this ROM version so hope new ROM will solve this issue.

It´s a well known bug that has been discussed many times......
It happens when you´ve set a device password and your screen turns off during a call.
Solution 1:
Don´t set a device password
Solution 2:
When the above happens, turn the screen off and then on again (2 quick pushes on the power button) and you should be back in bussiness.
Solution 3 (the one I´m using):
if your exchange server enforces the password on your device (you can´t easily turn it off): install a small cab called StayUnlock (do a quick search, it´s either here or over at www.modaco.com), which will automatically disable your password everytime it´s enforced by your exchange server.

Thanks Michi! Step 1 did the trick, I don't need a pswd on my device anyways. XD
When your new it's hard to follow up or search and find stuff when there is SO MUCH information in here.
Thanks again =)

Xperia doing random things

Hello XDA...
I've had my Xperia for about 5 months now...
First it started by being less responsive on certain letters on the qwerty keyboard and after that it started making double or even triple of the letter i pressed...
I have watched the tutorial on this site but i don't dare to open my phone
Although that is not my biggest problem right now... This problem is very persistent and QUITE annoying!
Let my try to explain it:
All hardware buttons are somehow assigned to different, RANDOM 'tasks'.
Pressing the right action button under the screen makes my phone go into 'settings', quickly overlapped by 'contacts' and then it marks the last inc/outg caller and calls that person.
My button to stop the call is assigned to Album.. so i can't do anything but to take out the battery....
When it starts freaking out and opening all sorts of programs and repeatedly overlaps everything by 'settings' i cant do anything...
I tap the cross in the corner to close everything and it just opens everything again...
I can use the touchscreen to type, text and call normally - but not the hardwarebuttons. Even the qwerty keyboard is acting wierd..
When i press the 'E' button, it is assigned to 'contacts' and 'settings' and 'new contact' somehow......
I have tried alot of different ROM's and the problem persists through all of them...
Has anyone EVER had this problem before?
Is there ANY solution at all?
I can upload a clip on youtube if anyone needs it visually explained.
Sorry for my english, it's not my native language.

No answers, hm? Seems like this is a unique problem.
For the record it is now fixed.
My phone wouldn't flash any SPL or whatever... I couldn't even force it into 'rainbow mode' by pressing volume-down and power..
I took out the memory card, and suddenly it was willing to go into rainbow mode...
Somehow i came to the conclusion that if removing 1 card fixed 1 of my problems, the second (SIM-card) would fix my other problem...
I took out the SIM-card and powered up the phone...
It was fully functional, with no hiccups or random apps popping up..
Tried putting my SIM-card back in, and now it's working again
So, no problems after that.
So far, my wierd fix is to:
Remove Mem and Sim card.
Start the phone.. - hopefully without any wierd stuff happening now.
Power off the phone.
Put back the Mem and Sim card.
- Wierd as it sounds, it has fixed my very annoying and wierd problem.
I am now a somewhat happy X1 owner again.

Right untill it started calling my girlfriend randomly and do everything it did before... ARGH, wtf?!?!

X1 starts phone app when pushing on/off button

Hi all,
a few days ago i saw a strange behaviour of my X1
If i push the on/off button the X1 starts the phone app and sometimes even the caroussel function of MS3.
I didn't install new apps or change reg keys.
The system was running almost perfect in the last months
After a hardreset yesterday i reconfigured my X1 and it seemed well for the moment. I turned the device on and off several times and it showed normal behaviour.
A few hours later (X1 was not in use) i pushed the on/off button and the problem was back again...
IMO the X1 acts like someone pushes the left silver button and sometimes the green tel button.
Has anyone an explanation for this?
Ideas for solving?
Thanks
Horst

one program I use on the X1 is called AE button Plus
it can remap all the hardware buttons on my X1, maybe you can try them and see if you can set the ON/OFF button from there, overriding your default action for a temp fix

Same problem here, after my xperia fall deep into the water!
I fixed this using s2u2

Thank you guys for the answers.
What i'm looking for is a reg key that changed or sth like that.
Unfortunately my knowledge about the registry isn't very good.
Perhaps one of the WM pros reads this and can give me an idea where to look...
Thanks
Horst

Weird Kaiser Hardware Button Failure

Hi all, please can you help me with this!?
Firstly when my phone boots or is taken out of sleep mode it immediately activates voice record as if this button has been pressed. It then opens the dialler and types ‘EDFC’. If I open pocket word and then wake the phone up it also types ‘EDFC’ before doing the above.
My keyboard is not working and the only hardware buttons that function are the power button (only for a while), the camera button and the silver select button in the middle of the d-pad. The jog wheel and silver directional d-pad buttons occasionally come to life. The others don’t work (green call and red end buttons, ok, windows etc).
When I use the standard keyboard SIP on the screen the directional buttons and delete do not function?!
I’ve reverted to a stock ROM to make sure this isn’t the problem.
It appears as though my Kaiser thinks these buttons are being depressed, but I’ve checked them and they click normally and release when pressed (even though they don’t perform a function) so nothing is stuck down etc….
I’m going to use AE Buttons to try and unhinge the button functions for now, but it would be great if someone has any suggestions!!
Thanks in advance.

Update - AE Button won't unhinge the buttons or change their function to anything else (e.g. nothing). I can't stop this from happening every time the phone boots/wakes up!
Help!

Mine got the same symptoms last week except it opens quick something or other,and then the dialler dials 2547.The screen for my pin then comes up,which I can enter normally.Home screen fires up normally but the keyboard will not work or any buttons except the silver one in the middle.Searched a bit and this problem is very common although I cannot find a solution anywhere.Can someone please help

AE button didn't work?
When mine did that, I reset all the hardware buttons (not the keyboard, just the buttons reachable from the outside. A soft reset and viola!
That's the only solution I have. It's worked for me 2x.
Also try pulling the battery for 20 seconds or so and restarting. That has fixed my touchscreen not working after it gets spashed 3x. Yeah, my phone is old and abused, but keeps working.

Thanks for your replies - I've got Orange sending me another one in the morning now and sods law it's just stopped happening.... Taking the replacement anyway in case it happens again.
For my knowledge, how did you reset the buttons? I deleted some registry keys to completely stop them working (although I couldn't find the registry keys for the red and green buttons).
Searching on Google there are quite a few reports of this, but no one has ever posted the cause!

I am having the same problem... please help. My phone is going crazy. I did a hard reset but still didnt solve the problem....

I am also having this issue. Phone starts typing EDFC and then initiates the voice recorder. I reflashed various ROMs and regardless of what was flashed.. initially they appeared okay, then it started happening again. I also tried hard and soft resets. Nothng has worked so far.
I resorted to disabling the keys and some of the applications which I dont use which appear to be getting started/run (Voice recorder for one). So far I havent had the issue, knock on wood.
I think this is more than likely a hardware error. My tilt is actually pretty old so I wouldnt be surprised. If someone finds either the cause or a workable solution please post. Im trying to hold off until January when my contact expires to get a new HTC.

I searched and searched but found no solution for this and ended up getting the phone replaced.
HTC seemed to know nothing of such a problem....
Have you tried whacking it?!!?
Hope you get it sorted.

Hmm, yes, but I don't see how that helped my phone.
lol, all jokes aside, my friends, I ask in this thread as well,
what is causing this problem? I ran into this issue after ALL my buttons stopped working (except for the power).
I installed a new rom (I forget which one), and still nothing works except for power button.
It would be even better if someone knows the solution!

-Calling for Help-I'm still convinced it is a software/registry problem...
Okay, so there's no solution available for this weird problem of ours.
On the bright side, however, it is amazing that we can still use the phone, even after it requires servicing (some way or another). I have accepted this handicap that has been placed on my phone for now, simply hoping it will grow out of it one day.
But something isn't right. When I looked in the registry (trying to follow some directions I found within the wiki for when your keyboard STILL doesn't work properly), there was a discrepancy between what was supposed to be found in the registry and what was actually there. It wasn't that the values were wrong, it was the names of the values that were different. Why could this be?
Or even if you have moment of time, and you have an AT&T Tilt, and it works perfectly, maybe you could write up a run down of what you have hanging around in that section of the registry?
Hey, just so I can be sure, is there some place I can cross check what I have in my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP with what is supposed to be there in a fully functioning AT&T Tilt?

Both this and mcu codes are in the wiki, this is just for others to comment on (more info/discussion) and also so it will appear in search

All of the MCU codes were not in the Wiki (they are now, because I added them).
What's there to discuss? If people want to add more detail to the Wiki, they can. For discussion of individual settings, a thread started with a copy/paste from the Wiki isn't a good beginning, and certainly doesn't add any new information. Adding yet another location to find the same information hurts, not helps, search.
Finally, the Wiki can be updated by anyone and doesn't require any individual to update their post as more info/knowledge is gained, and provides a single location users can refer to for common knowledge.

Can someone please explain what the Keymap option and Touchmap option actually do? Is this keyboard layouts etc? I've changed the options (only had unit 1 week so limited about of trying) but it didn't seem to do much?

I don't think anyone knows. Nothing seems to change haha
Would assume it changes the layout of hardware keys (button or touch)

I know what keymap function does.
Option 1: If you open an app like radio and press home button it will close the app.
option 2: When you press the home button, it does not close the app anymore.
The rest of options I haven't tried!
Touchmap function .. I don't find any diferences beetwen the options. Maybe it's for units who don't have buttons?

Any update on exploring the keymap options? I'm not convinced that the above description is universal, as when I have option 1 set and press the home button it does not close the app.
I've been trying different options (1 - 10) however don't have any really good information, except to comment that it's impossible to turn on Wi-Fi when set to option 3.
Option 2 seems to really slow down performance of the machine.
I've really only had a chance to explore 1 - 3 but will continue through all 10. Please post if you have any particular experiences with various options.

In my unit in the button keymap you can set different functions to a hardware button, by pressing the required button twice.
i.e.
The SCR button opens av player by default.
I don't use it and want to start the music app.
So press SCR button twice and in that menu you can choose the Music icon.
Then it will start the music app with the SCR button.
Now you have to be really careful NOT to use the touch button option!!!!
This recallibrates the touch screen, and if you touch the screen then..... it totally screws up everything...
Only solution then is a reset and you can start all over again.

Next thing NOT to do is in "others" tab.
There was some "power" option which default i think was "on".
Options there are "on" "of" and "remember last status" .
In my opinion the radio turned off to quickly, even when power down was set on 5 minutes (in android settings).
So i first saved this "power" thing in factory settings to "on".
Off course the radio stayed On after turning off ignition.
So i waited 5 -10 minutes, but it stayed on.
Then i made the biggest and most stupid mistake in my life and tried "off", and guess what.
It does not turn on anymore.... ****** (I should have guessed that).
According to the helpdesk, the radio should start in recovery when holding reset for 3-5 seconds.
But the button backlight (red colour) only blinks once when you release reset, and that is it.
Holding the power button for 10 seconds turns on button backlight as long as you hold the button.
I did receive their latest firmware so i could flash it in recovery, but then it has to boot first...
Now i am waiting for the next answer from the helpdesk, but for now my unit is dead.
I hope this message helps others to prevent making the same mistake.

oh thanks i was wondering how to access that !

Hi, can you fix the problem?

Hi, can you fix the problem?
I think the same thing happened to me, I tried to restart in all the ways and I do not get anything, always the black screen.
If you managed to fix it, could you tell me how you did it?
Thank you and receive a warm greeting.

I was find a solution:
HU can't start, because in the config file there is mistaken option with power service turned off.
You need to find a MCU file (DMCU.IMG) and MCU CONFIG (DMCU.CFG) file and make an HU update in the recovery. mode.
Put these files on the SD card and flash MCU.
Link to the MCU CONFIG file:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/and...-mcus-t3624724
Link do the MCU file:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/and...essor-t3834657
REMEMBER - YOU MUST GET FILES TO YOUR HEAD UNIT - but you can try different, your HU is dead now anyway...

Oh Crap

Did you ever get it working again? Unfortunately i just made the same mistake and really hoping its not a paper weight :crying:

Updated my MCU KLD v3.01 on my PX5 and there is now an option for a carplay dongle. I have one so I checked the box. Have no idea what is changed because everything was already working but I am hoping someone smarter then me will tell me.
