hi,
My hardware buttons are dying. My end call button is not responding at all anymore.
Testing them with NavDbgTool.exe I found that the touch capability of the surface around the end call button is not working.
Is there any connection with the touch to make the action of the button?
Does any of you have the same problem?
Attached find the testing tools.
same end call button problem
I am having the same prob with end call button not working on my HTC Diamond Touch. I'm using Duttys V4 ROM. did u find a fix?
I've had a worse problem..
my volume up key was sticking to the point were the phone was unusable. Rang Orange as the phone is 9 months old to be told that i'll have to send it to HTC as Orange only do a 6 month warranty?
and here's the stinger, rang HTC who told me they'd collect the phone, they have now sent me a quote for £216 to fix the phone with a new motherboard after they said I've illegally tried to install a firewall. Thing is although installed a few custom roms before reverting back to the stock orange rom I've no idea what they mean by the firewall?? i've not to my knowledge installed any firewall software on the device?? - and to top it off, if I don't want them to do the repairs i've gotta pay £14 to get the bloody thing back!!
not a happy HTC camper

hi there,
my kaiser and my mates one too, the start button freezes after handing up on a call....
i tried using the red button to hang up, then tried the end key,,,
the menu button start doesnt appear, it just says phone,
only way i found to go around this is to press the power key to go in to sleep mode then press it again,,, to wake it up...(this has started to be really annoying...)
it then works fully...wierd,,,i contacted my netowrk operator and they dont know whats wrong, they just suggest is might be a fault??? but i told them my mates htc tytn ii (kaiser) has the same problem, and he got it from a different shop....and 4 months later,,
mmh still waiting on t-mobile uk,. to find a solution,, aint going to hold my breath...
can any one help, or advice me that the new windows mobile 6.1 will fix this?
any one know when tht is coming out officially??????????
this is a stupid thread.

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?
Does anyone know if there's a piece of software that I could use to "switch off" the side volume buttoms completely???
I've got a problem that makes the "volume up" buttons stick and continually turn the volume screen on which is a nightmare. Tried to get it fixed with Orange who sent me to HTC direct as the phone is 9 months old. HTC are refusing to fix the phone as I've put "illegal" firmware on it and they are claiming it is this software that has buggered up the volume buttons. Thing is I put the stock orange rom on the phone before I sent it back to them, but I did leave Hard SPL on!! (DOH!) - would they still be able to tell if I'd put a custom rom on the device?
if anyone knows if there's a piece of software available or who knows what I could try in the registry to fix the problem it would be massively appreciated as my phone is currently a rather fancy paper-weight
anybody??
guess I'm gonna have to play with the registry
Has anyone figured out a solution for the faulty power button? It is killing me i can't wake my phone sometimes and now that i have Froyo i get no blue light notification so my reply to peoples text messages are VERY slow.

Modaco-Paul is working on Trackball Wake! http://twitter.com/PaulOBrien/status/14543157295
You should still have light notifications in 2.2. Is yours not working?
I only get White notifications and it doesnt blink as fast and work sometimes
Has anyone worked out exactly why these power buttons are dying? Mine's dead as a doornail too
this is pretty funny to me cuz mine was not working in the morning anyways i THINK it has to do with some dust collecting on it (like the trackball) i blew on it a lil and it started working again also i read somewhere else about a wire that has a 90 degree angle so you might try pushing the power button forward then down
This is certainly the most annoying issue on Nexus one...
I use a combination of "no lock" and "lock 2.0" to enable trackball wake and turning off via home screen. And when I need to reboot I use the "plug-remove battery-replace battery" trick...
If someone has better solutions, we'll be glad to hear them, since it seems that this problem will eventually hit all Nexus one users.
I use fancy widget - In the clock settings, I selected application when clock pressed (lock enabler app). This solves the locking problem without pressing the power.
Use the usual trackball wake as the unlocker.

My situation is:
My Nexus is with non funcioning power on switch.
What is the solution to power on phone after i need to switch battery or Sim Card,
Thank You.
I have the same problem.Is it hardware or software issue?
I used the call Google and get a warranty replacement trick
Seriously, just call and get it replaced under warranty, that's the only real fix. They are aware of the problem. My phone is rooted, I didn't mention that, and they didn't have a problem with it, and I got my replacement within a few days.
Now that they've stopped selling them, it may not be as easy, but worth a try.
This is a serious issue for people outside countries that sell the nexus one.
I live in brazil and I hope this problem doesn't appear to me because it's cheaper to try to fix it than travel to usa.

As mentioned above, for people outside the US, replacement of the device is not an easy task; and even for those who get a replacement, the problem will eventually recur, since it seems obvious now that this is a hardware issue.
As for how to reboot the device: plug it to the charger (usb or main), wait for the orange led to turn on, remove the battery, as soon as the led will turn off replace the battery and the phone will boot.
I've had two bad power buttons, they were a hardware issue replaced under warranty.
Does anyone have any experience of getting a replacement from HTC in Singapore for this power button failure issue?
I bought my phone in the Google Online Store on my last vacations in US, I live in Mexico and call to HTC for the warranty but theres no solution outside US.
I use compressed air in the power button and works a little without the battery cover.

I had exactly the same problem. then i read about it in the nexus one forum and some folks mentioned, that deinstalling the app "advanced task killer" solved their problem. i tried it and now my power button is back to normal and working like a charme!
there is a program in the market to get it to wake from the trackball but I can't remember the name. I had the same problem and had to send it back to HTC and they fixed it for free. They told me there has numerous problems with the wake/power button.
Are ALL N1 fated to have the power button break? I just bought a Nexus One and i wan't to know if i should return it whilst i still can.

Put me in the broken power button club. After going through a few months of the power button acting up, well it finally quit working. The good news is I still have 3 weeks remaining on my 1 year warranty, the bad news is the N1 has an unlocked bootloader. I called HTC last night and they emailed me an overnight shipping label. I chose the repair option instead of replacement. I did not discuss the unlocked bootloader with them. Since this is a hardware issue I can't see why they would deny the repair.
BTW, that is a great link on how to get the phone to turn on, I kept trying all last night to get it to come on by pressing the power button. If they deny the repair I will have them send it back and try one of the alternatives to turning the phone on and off.
I am currently using the Evil desire rom, should I flash back to a stock rom before sending it back.
Thanks.
Hey,
I recently received my G1 back from HTC after a repair, However I have realised that it has acquired a new problem since its return. For some reason if you press to hard on the 'Chin' or lower part of the phone where all of the function buttons are such as, Menu and call buttons, the screen will fade to black and will only re-appear on double pressing the end call button, however this doe not always fix the problem. This has become a problem when using the phone as it is very frustrating for the phone to go black and having to double press the end call button inevitably exiting the current application.
I'm reluctant to send it back as I do not want to wait and was wondering if this is a common problem or whether someone suggest something that I could do.
Many thanks
