Greets,
While the subject line really says it all, I have intermittent luck with getting the little picture of the keyboard at the bottom of the screen to actually bring up a keyboard.
Does anyone know what this may be, and how I can reset it (without a soft reboot). I can get it to bring up the selector (which lists the screen keyboard as active), but I cannot actually bring up the keyboard.
Thanks!
Hhmmm
I say try a hard reset...I know that's a sucky thing to do ....but I think it will fix you problem

I tried to look if there is a fix on forums but with no sucess.
After a week of having at&t tilt once after using keyboard i slide it back but screen stays horizontal. anyone knows whats that all about?
Soft reset didnt work so far. i think it happend during wall charging when i started sending some messages.
So, after you reset, the phone boots in landscape? Or once you go landscape, you can't switch back? Either way, I think the kaiser uses a magnetic switch to sense the keyboard opening/closing. I don't have a definitive answer, but at least that's a starting point for some good ol' fashioned research.
yea, it doesnt want to go back from landscape. i thought wierd problem like this should be spotted before and i was hoping for a quick fix. phone is to new to have issues like this.
Swurv is right, the kaiser uses a magnetic switch to make the change between landscape and portrait. It sounds like the switch is sticking when you open it. I don't know of any way to fix it, you might have more luck returning it and getting another. Good luck.
It isn't going to actually fix the issue, but you should be able to get around it till you can swap the device : Start --> Settings --> System --> Screen and select the Portrait orientation
Best of luck getting a replacement, hope its smooth sailing.
Got curious about the magnetic switch and figured out where the magnet itself is located- If you have your screen open and tilted all the way forward, the magnet is on the back side of the screen, on the same corner where the front OK button and the messaging button are.

Hey. this actually restored my original settings. It works now just like new!
I switched setting to "portrait". Never touched this option before.
Thanx man. Thnx all you guys for your time.
After replacing the screen and reinstalling the HTC Rom I am having the most frustrating keyboard/button issue.
When I turn it on everything works great, it's like a new phone. No problems.
When the screen shuts off, either manually or automatically and I turn it back on is when the problem arises. When using the phone with the keyboard, the phone seems to randomly after any key (only on the keyboard) push the center button the front.
Lets say I'm typing in Word, after the 3rd character for example it will save and quit. In SMS it will make a new line. In explorer it will bring up the context menu. Each time the buttons on the from of the phone will turn on, which they shouldn't be doing.
I can use the buttons on the front to do what ever and the problem wont come up, only with the keyboard.
What could I have screwed up while replacing the screen? The thing I don't get is the correlation with the screen shutting off.
Fixed
I fixed it and I'm posting here in case someone else has the same problem.
The faulty part was the scroll wheel and it's little PCB board. I replaced that and now it works. I also discovered that if that piece is missing, you will have the same problem.
Hi all,
I have troublesome problem. Could you help me. My phone is ADP1.
If the real keyboard is closed, and phone is locked then I cannot use menu button to unlock, it does not display anything , keyboard is bright
If the real keyboard is opened, and phone is locked then I can use menu to unlock, it displays, keyboard is bright as normal.
While the phone is unlocked, whether the real keyboard is opened or closed, it works as normal.
The problem is I cannot unlock the phone while the real keyboard is closed. It' really crazy
I also try to downgrade to 1.0, upgrade to 1.5, the result is the same.
Please help me
Thanks in advance.
That's horrible, I have to slide the keyboard to take a call
I still wait for god
My kaiser's touch screen suddenly has aquired an attitude. Some time it works, some it doesn't. When I touch nothing happens. Also when I slide open the keyboard, it works, but as soon as I close the keyboard, it stops working again. When I reboot, the screen works, but it stops after some time. Then it works if I open the keyboard. I have done hard reset, but that hasn't solved the problem.
Is there any thing I can do to fix it.
Now the touch works only if keyboard is open and doesn't work when closed. Any tips (already did hard reset twice).
With more research, the touch screen works but only when pressed very tightly at the point shown in figure (See red circle). Is there any solution to this ?
Will this get fixed if Change LCD ? Or can it be fixed by tightening some screws ?
Alright, so my problem is that when I slide out the keyboard to type something in, it won't actually rotate the screen. It isn't an issue with the ROM because I have flashed several different ones and it is the same no matter what.
What happens is that I slide out the keyboard, the screen freezes to whatever it was when I slid it out. I type whatever and when I close the phone it just loads up the text that I had typed in. So the keyboard itself works but I can't see what I typed until I close the phone again which is pretty inconvenient. Does anyone know of a way I can solve this? PLEEEAASSSE! help is much appreciated.
unfortunately it looks (almost 100%) like your ribbon cable between the circuit board and the screen needs replacing.
Your symptoms are EXACTLY what mine did. Then it got gradually worse and the screen ended up turning black on sliding it open.
I've replaced the ribbon cable, with some protection on the area that gets worn and so far the phone is fab again!
see this thread (yeah i know it's mine but it's certainly worked for me!)

obviously if your phone is under warranty it needs to go back, but once repaired it WILL do it again at some point. Terrible oversight in the design of an otherwise great handset.
