[edit: can't change the title!! obviously, it should say "keypad NOT showing in phone".....]
a very major, annoying problem.
when i press the call/send button to bring up my phone, phone does come up, except without the number keypad.
so i have to press the button in the bottom center twice to make it come back up. now this is very annoying and makes it pretty much impossible to use the phone with 1 hand on the go (walking or whatever).
now this problem only happens sometimes, other times the keypad does show up as it should. reboots do not always fix the problem.
i'm not sure if it's an issue with the rom or a general phone issue that's common.
any help would be great, if no one else has this problem, i'll try asking the rom cooker.

Well I've had my Tilt for a week now and I have been frustrated completely with the Phone App.
First of all, when I am calling a tone prompted location where you have to press the keys to get somewhere (611, corporate voicemail, etc), some of the time the phone will go into "hold" when i press the keys.
Secondly, after a call that i have pressed the keys for tone operation, the phone app will not completely close. the screen will stay half dim and the start bar and task panes are locked out. i can't access any of the icons at the top of the screen. the only button available is the task manager which shows no programs running.
i can pretty much replicate the 2nd problem consistently. does anyone else have this problem? Please try to call into a company say even 611, go through all the tone prompts and see if the phone app closes appropriately afterwards. make sure you are on the phone long enough for the screen to automatically dim.
the only way for me to get past this is to softboot so i can get access to the start menu again. but i'd rather not have to softboot after every phone call =T
Thanks!
Same problem here, any help would be great.

disable the lock thing where you have to enter a pin - i think its a bug in the rom
Same problem - but if press the on/off button for the screen twice I do have again access to all icons. Not nice but ....
yeah i was messing around with the phone last night and realized that it has to do with phone lock and figured out if you press the power button to put it to sleep and press it again to wake it up, everything is normal again. it was just a fluke how i found out but i'm glad to know that this isn't only my problem. i was about to do another hard reset on the phone.
i called ATT techsupport and they told me it might be the simcard. can other Tilt owners chime in here. is this a ROM problem or could it be related to a faulty sim?

Hi
I don't know if anyone has experienced this or has a fix for it.
I picked up my Tytn II last week and I must say it's a cracking piece of kit. I seem to be experiencing a problem though.
If I say for example make a voice call and then hang up. I find that the word "phone" replaces the start menu in the top left hand corner of the screen. This wont default back to start and effectively makes the whole top row of icons inoperable. Ie battery status volume control etc. I have found this problem when using other apps, ie calendar, so it's not specific to just making voice calls.
The only way to get the top row of icons working again is to do a soft reset
All icons not on the top row seem to work ok (apart from keylock)
Any ideas ??

Dont soft reset... just hit the power button to go into standby, then hit it again and the device will work again.
Hey presto it worked. Thanks for that. It's a bit annoying having to do that though.

Its not a fix... its just a workaround.
When you end calls. Try first pressing the end call button, then the ok button.
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?!?!
Well I currently have a rooted g1 phone, but it is completely useless. Every time I use the keyboard or any keys on the phone(Menu,Home, Power, action, call) button. the buttons were programmed to like press other stuff, for example I press the menu button and it turns off my phone, if I press "I" on my keyboard it erases everything. And If I press the end button it automatically types" u345". What exactly is this? Is this a physical issue? or Is the g1 itself that is messed up? I can barely use the phone! All the buttons type different stuff?!! please help! Hardware problem? or Physical? And idea's of fixing, thanks for reading.
I have a similar problem but not as severe. Almost all buttons work ok, just the buttons in the middle of the hw keyboard like y, h, b and space sometimes print other stuff, b sometimes writes a few characters and opens up the search, n sometimes writes some characters with an 'enter' in between etc. and these random outputs are usually the same, ie I get the same stuff by pressing b over n over again. They work fine after some pressing, and I've noticed if I press these keys immediately after pressing something else, they work fine. The problems has persisted through rooting, flashing, radio change, bootloader change etc. Anyone know what this problem is? Is it a hardware issue should I get it checked? The hardware guys here charge so much I have to be sure before I take this to them. Any way I can correct it myself? Any help would be appreciated.
Your best bet to completely wipe and reflash a stable rom (like Super-D). If problem persists - you have a hardware problem. Sounds like water damage to me to be honest.
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
