In dialpad mode, the "A" key of the keyboard does not function. Other keys are fine. The "A" key function is not problem in other software.
Any fix please?

I tried this and didn't have a problem. 'A' displayed whether I used caps lock or not. It even went looking for contacts with 'A' in them.
Do you mean the built-in sliding hardware keyboard?
No, I dont have that issue. The A button is working fine.
If you have defective hardware I think you should return it and ask for replacement.

I can guarantee it will. I think my hands are adjusting to the the size and the feel of the buttons after a weeks use.
EDIT:
I didn't notice a problem with my A button aswell. My suggestion, if your having too much problems with it (the A button that is), send it back
I am personally having a different keyboard problem.
If i push the same button consecutively too quickly it wont recognize the 2nd press.
This is both the directional pad, and the keyboard.
Anyone else having this type of prob?

I have a problem with my Kaiser. The keyboard and the front buttons do not work anymore. Only the center front button and the right side stand-by button are working.
I read here on the forums that it can be a software problem? I didn't made any rom update or other chages, I used the phone as it was from the start. After 2 months of using I got this problem with the keyboard. Any advice or should I get the phone to the Service?
I tried soft reset and after that a hard reset (I backed up the data with Sprite), but the problem persists.
Another thing: not making any changes in keys mapping I noticed that the right side stand-by button was mapped for voice recording! That was quite strange, when I activated the screen in the same time it began recording voice. I correctly remaped the button as it was, but again I don't know how it changed by itself...
when you did the hard reset, did you restore your backup right away? or did you test the buttons right after the hard reset?
I've testet the buttons before making the restore. They had the same problem: not working and the stanby button was also mapped as voice recording.

after a hard reset the power button was set to voice recording? When you refer to the standby button, do you mean the power button?
If in deed you did a Hard Reset then the device would be back to default settings. If you are getting the power button mapped to voice recording then your device is f**ked up badly, or at least the ROM is trashed.
you sure you didn't try to flash your rom or SPL?

No, after the hard reset the voice recording was still mapped... When I reffer to the stanby button I mean, yes, the power button.

Absolutely not! I am not a informatician to play with this kind on mods and installs. I only had my software (YM, iGo etc). Never tried to update or change the rom or the SPL.
If it is like you say, this it can't be repaired in the service?
the same problem, but i have a little more strange things:
- device still mapping power (standby) button for voice commander, even after few hard resets without restoring any previous data
- holding power button mapped for record, so after hard reset, even before aligning screen, device starts recording
- when i'm on a desktop, pressing twice power button (off/on), device going to calling screen and trying to found contact that starts with "edfc"
- when i'm in contacts, pressing twice power button (off/on), device trying to found contact in search, that starts with "edfc"
- keyboard doesn't work, front buttons also too
- when i'm typing any message in notes, for example, i can't erase it - backspace button on virtual keyboard doesn't work also
So, what are you thinking about that? Can anyone help me?
Added:
- can't get into bootloader screen (power+camera+reset)
- in Android front buttons are works, keyboard - too, except 4 buttons. guess which? e,d,f,c
Added:
- re-flashing SPL and few ROM's doesn't help
Anyone?
Or I need get prepared to buy another one?
definitely sounds like a hardware issue. you could disassemble it and check if there are any lose connectors
ok. i've checked with another motherboard and the problem is - ... motherboard. can't be more specific right now, i'll try to find out more.
sigh.....sounds spendy. Been having the same issues, if its the motherboard dont know if i should just hold out on fixing it for a touch pro 2 and use my old nokia for a while. hmmmm, hopefully its not something super spendy. Never thought i would miss my tilt so much T_T
I have a new tilt with the at&t rom on it still. The up button on the directional pad no longer responds. Every other button on the phone works fine. How can I tell if this is a hardware issue or if the button needs to be remapped?

Do a hard reset... if the problem is still there - It's hardware.
i´ve noticed today that my "green or call" button is not responsive.
I have to press many times to enter the phone, and also to select a number in contacts and make that call.
Anyone had this problem?
I made a hard reset because it might be some software i installed and the problem is still there
no one are having or had this issue?
Try a soft reset, the touchpad with the buttons often looses it's way.

Yes i did, and also tried another rom beside de original.
I can say, that some times work and sometimes don´t work that well, but even without a reset it starts to work again but with some flaws.
I´m starting to suspect that this is a normal situation on most of the diamonds and no one has ever talked very much about it
I own my diamond for about a month and it only started to do this a week ago, that´s very very strange.

Every now and them my soft touch panel loses it's way.
Here's what I do to reallign it: either press on the bottom right corner twice or soft reset.

Even with a soft reset sometimes the problem continues.
I don´t understand your ideia, so the call button have something to do with the soft touch (whell?) they are connected?
When you say press bottom right corner, you say press the disconnect button? and it solves the irresponsive call button?
Do you know anyone with a diamond having this issue? It seems to me like a hardware problem.
It´s very very anoying and it drives me crazy.
Today the call button is working flawless, so i don´t understand this, send to warranty or not
Does anyone have issues with the keypad?
I think that some people are starting to have problems with it.
ok this is weird..all my keys aren't working at all incl. the volume key except the home key..even the touch-sensitive scrolling doesn't work. Oh and the phone keypad, compact qwerty and full qwerty (if T9 is on) don't work too......!
ok this is weirder..long press end key works...I suppose my problem is software?
okayyyyyyyy even weirder..it's fixed. I uninstalled Cyberon Voice Commander and Remote Desktop Mobile. I have a feeling it's Remote Desktop. However, it was fine when I first installed both programs so I have no idea what triggered the problem......maybe because I left my phone at the post office?!

Some application cause that symthons in the hardware buttons, but in my case i don´t none installed and also i don´t have no app to mapp hardware buttons.
I guess it´s a hardware flaw in my case.
Kaiser freezes when I press the letter "W" on keyboard and screen?
Can anyone help?
OK -- now that is strange...
Does this happen with no programs running, or when you're typing in a particular program (Word or whatever)?
It it when no programs are running at all.
The programs I have installed are

PDAmedia SIO keyboard light v1.0
Hmmm
Perhaps it will stop once he is out of office!
Ha, funny. But seriously its a strange freeze and i'd like to get it fixed.
Does it still do it when typing in Word?
Backup your stuff and try a hard reset...
Yes still does it while in word
I'm hoping its not a hardware problem -- perhaps the cable to the keyboard is damaged and the w key is causing a short?
Hard to see how that would affect the software keyboard though.
I think your best bet is to backup and hard-reset.
Its not a hardware problem. I just tried the mobile word and it worked for a second and then froze again.
Never mind, still does not work. Only worked when "w" was not the first key i pressed.

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?
