Tilt Freezes after the screen goes blank.... sometimes

Hello
I am a newbie here so hopefully I don't screw up to bad. My tilt will freeze sometimes after it has been in what I call Hibernate (screen turns off after 30 secs or so). What is odd is if I slide out the keyboard it will change from portrait to landscape but I can't make anything happen when I touch the screen. If I soft reset the device it works fine. Please help, I really don't want to do a hard reset.
Thanks
Garry

That happens to me sometimes too. You're lucky you can soft reset, I have to take off the battery for it to reboot.

Yeah, I thought it might be the cube, which I unistalled but I am sure it is something I have installed..... Just not sure what so when/if I hard reset. I know not to reinstall it.

I've had this problem as well, with the stock AT&T ROM on the Tilt. The phone inexplicably will not wake up. Soft reset will successfully restart the phone (for me).
When the phone is essentially "locked up", it will not receive calls - which sucks.
Playing with the settings, I (maybe) lessened the frequency of such lockups by increasing the Today Timeout to 12 hours (maximum). I don't know if this did it, but I've only had one lockup since - rather than two to three times a week.
I'm new to PDA type phones and WM6, so I don't know much - but maybe this will help you guys. It may also be complete coincidence on my end. Who knows?

I had the same problem with evey ROMs.
But since I don't use HTC home and HTC close program this kind of freezing disappeared.
I don't know which one caused the problem or wich version.
Try Spb Mobile Shell or Spb Pocket Plus for today screen. They are free to try.
It's a shame because I loved the looks of HTC programs.

Call button not responsive

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.

Help buttons not working on my At&t tilt

Alright my At&t tilt front face buttons started to not work (i could only use the arrow buttons and the ok button) and my keyboard stopped working but the arrow keys would. i upgraded the rom after calling htc for help. that didnt fix a thing and now today none of the buttons work. i keep getting the PTT to come up and ask for installation and edfc keeps typing themselves on the screen. so idk if it is a software problem or if the hard ware is malfunctioning.

Damn, I got the same problem. Does anybody know how to fix this?

the same problem here... :/

same problema here.
i already tried another radio, another SPL, another ROM and nothing.
any idea?

Just updating.
Yesterday my tytn started working perfectly again, but today the same problem is occuring. I did nothing, so probably is really a hardware issue.

I have a similar problem.
Send/End + Soft Keys + Keyboard are not working. The issue is not resolved yet?

Wow, this problem just happened to me as well. I've searched everywhere on the net and couldn't find anything.
So is this a pervasive issue? Anyone with any hint as to what might be the source of the problem?
Originally, I thought it the PTT button was stuck in the PRESSED position because the phone behaves as if this button was constantly being pressed. For example my PTT button was mapped to Voice Recorder if the PTT button was held down. The voice recorder constantly comes on everytime I turn the phone on!!

I have the exact same problem.
The only change I recently made (two weeks ago) was installing tom tom navigator.
First I thought it was a virus and I installed bull guard, but with no success.
It opens/closes the start menu every second, no buttons work apart from the directional buttons and it writes "edfc" in my textmessages when I turn on/off the screen with the power button.
Most of the time(!) this irritating opening/closing of the start menu only happens after I first turn off/on the screen (with the power button).
I saw this problem described in a post dating back almost two years ago. Someone ought to know the answer to our problems. What does HTC say about it?

I have been lucky and not had this issue yet; but I would recommend starting by flashing the stock rom from HTC. Then hard reset; that will clear everything back to original. If you still experence this after that, then you have a hardware issue. Good luck

This just happened to me this morning. I cant use any buttons and nothing is popping up. This is soo wierd cause the phone was just sitting there overnight!!

Me too...
I have been going nuts with this issue for a couple months now. Makes the phone unusable half the time. I am so disappointed to find that a ROM reload doesn't fix it!! I remapped the 6 key to none and that sort of helps but it was mapped to Voice record before and it would constantly record memos until all the memory was gone in the phone and then it would all crash from there. So frustrating.
I too get the edfc message after I reboot....
It really seems like a virus the way it acts but I guess if it is a hardware issue then it's not a virus.
Anyone ever figure anything out with this? Nothing has changed on my phone recently.

Still an issue?
Holy Toledo fellow Tilt Users. Have you ditched your half-functioning touchscreen, or have we figured out how to solve this issue.
Recently I FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM!
I am going to do what was suggested (original HTC Rom & hard reset) and will let you know if I get the rest of my keyboard back...

All buttons except for power and... NOT WORKING
Outside "Enter" buttons work but they are mapped to Windows key. ? Weird. For some reason the kaiser thinks it is something else. I do not know how it got this way, but there must be a way to convince the hardware of the existence of all my other buttons. The entire keyboard does not work.
Hard Reset & stock HTC Rom did not help. I was surprised that I could hard reset it at all since the two soft buttons are unresponsive to software.
Anyone figure this out yet?

Hi, I got the same issue today as well - Has anyone got rid of this?

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?

[Q] Touchscreen issues

Hello everybody,
I was doing a lot of research on this issue and was using the search function of course, however I was not able to find a fix to the problem I am experiencing.
I have a Samsung at&t captivate with cyanogenmod 10.0 installed.
The problem:
Lately I experienced strange touchscreen problems, where it seemed that my phone did what it wants to do. Opening google maps zooming in and out, opening other apps and it even called a friend one time. All that did not seem to follow any pattern, it was more like someone randomly touched on my screen.
What I tried:
After doing some research, I booted to recovery and deleted the cache and dalvik cache. After I rebootet the phone everything seemed alright, except for when writing a message, some keys "p" and "?" where not working.
So I rebootet to recovery again and did a factory reset, and installed cyanogenmod 10.0 again. Everything seemed alright at the beginning, but when I clicked my way through the welcome process, I noticed that the "p" key does not work again, all the other keys though, especially the ones in the bottom right corner, work just fine.
And here comes the problem: On the next screen "Google & location", I can not press the ">" button to proceed in the bottom right corner!
Do you think it is a hardware problem? What is against this is, that the same spot where the ">" button appears, works fine on the other screen, when I enter my Email adress.
Every kind of help is very much appreciated!! Thank you all in advance!
Best,
Moritz

I'm thinking you might have to go back to Stock KK4 and start fresh. If that doesn't work, it's most likely a hardware issue (humidity perhaps). If it comes down to that, take apart the phone and put it in a bag of rice for a couple days. Now if that doesn't fix it, you might have to get a new screen

I'd add bad screen protector to the humidity/hardware list. the key is that it keeps recurring in the same place on the screen. if you rotate the keyboard 90 degrees, does the p key work?
