hiya, I hope someone can help me here, I got this phone a week ago and love it but for some reason when I text on phone pad or compact qwerty, when pressing the buttons it only comes up with the numbers assigned for the buttons and not any letters. Have no idea how to rectify this, tried all the usual under options but have come up short. Please help!! Thanks!!

This one's got me stumped, I may just be overlooking a simple answer but it hasn't happened previously on my Magician or Vario before.
I carry my Vario III around in a large coat pocket for most of the time. I have a lot of appointments and calls which activate the screen when they occur. I then have the problem when fishing around for the device that a) I answer the call from touching the screen, b) End the call from touching the screen, c) Open a load of different apps where the appointments have made the screen go live and the movement in the pocket has brushed the screen.
All I want to do is use only the hardware buttons ie. Answer, End, Power button. Where can I find the settings for this? The "key settings" menu or "buttons" doesn't cover it so where is it? It's driving me mad!
Hold down the 'red' phone button to lock all but 'Power' and 'Unlock' soft key.
You can still answer a call as normal when it comes in with the with the 'green' phone key.
Thanks. I know about the standard lock, but then you're into multi key press territory to unlock it. I just wondered if someone knew of a way (or program) that once the screen was off it stayed off until the answer, reject or power button was pressed and then in the case of the power button the device returns to "normal".
I'm not sure if your idea would be very viable. The screen has to come on so that you can see who's calling!
Pretty pointless to reject a call when you don't know who it is.
I understand what you are trying to get at but wouidn't you still have the problem of not being able to use any other functions within a call like looking up a Contact or checking your Calendar. Hitting the Power button during a call to get back to normal use would be a bit 'hit n miss'.
Thanks for the reply. I agree it's not ideal and I guess if it was something everyone wanted someone would have brought a .CAB out for it. That my Q answered in any case. Thanks again.
Try searching the forum for 'S2U2'. It might be what you're looking for.
That should cover it just fine. Thanks for the pointer.
Nice one helterskelter
Didn't think he would want to open it to answer a call thats all as he seems to have big fingers and hit everything but 'Answer'
No, sorry, just my dark humour...
Hope you are sorted.
Good evening, guys!
I have a very strange problem, I'm new to PPC scene and bought a HTC TyTN II for christmas. I flashed my ROM and I'm using Dutty's Rom... I noticed that the "green phone" hard key isn't working. I think it worked before flashing, because when I pressed the button it opened my Contacts, now nothing happens, even the light of the pad doesn't go on. Is it a hardware issue or software? I really don't want to do a hard reset, because I did it a couple of times...
No suggestions?
I did a hard reset, but the problem's still here.. it might be a hardware issue.
But how could I know? Or maybe it's the radio?
Please help me!
I've changed the radio to 1.27.12.17 but the problem's still here... I'm really confused. When somebody calls me there's no way to answer him. Very strange. Is there a button mapping program, that can change these buttons? I'll be happy if I can use the start button as the "green phone" button if there's no solution...
I dont know how to fix your button problem but as to answering phone calls, when someone calls it should say answer on the bottom left corner of your screen and you can press it to answer.

Thanks. I noticed that it's a hardware problem... when I press it very hard it works... strange. Do I need to change to the default HTC ROM if I want to give my device for fixing?
Yes. Look at the Wiki and the sticky threads. The process is detailed there.
Hi Everybody,
I've got a MDA Vario III bought back in Dec, didn't had any problems till now. But yesterday my MDA didnt started and when it did, I came up with problematic keys on its face !!!
The Keys for: Making Call, Ending the call, Windows Key and OK key on the face of the handsets, when pressed overrides the function of itself by the function of the key near to it !!!
For e.g. If you press Call button, it will automatically start calling the last number (which shouldn't be the case, it should just open the dial pad!) and on top of that it opens the Contact (which is the Key beside Call button). I've tried formatting the handset twice and I am no way pressing the two buttons at same time !
Please do help me to find where the problem lies and its solution. Its kinda urgent please. Thanks in Advance
Please Help Me Folks
Please Help me folks, what can I do with it to get it working properly ?
try SK Tools I always use autoclean and free-up RAM and that helps me settle this sort of problems. It actualy does the same as a soft reset.
this was the lazy version of the answer
If I dial a number and press the connect button on my Diamond the call will not be put through.
I have to first save the number into my contacts and then browse my contacts and hit connect to make a call.
A friend of mine has the same problem on his S710 so I think this must be a setting thing rather than a problem thing with my Diamond.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks for the help!
I was having the same problem. Did you install AE button plus or another key mapper? This was what caused my problem when I remapped the green button single click to "phone" instead of "press green button".
Haven't installed any key mappers, came like this out of the box.
I sent the phone in for repairs last Friday. It was getting boiling hot on charge or GPS, then on Thursday nught the screen stopped working.
The guys at HTC say the main board and the screen bezel are both buggered and so the will replace the parts by Friday!
Thanks for your help though.
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?
