[Q] i botched my call button - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

i dont know what i did, but my green call button isnt bring up the dialer any more.
im on the froyo vanilla rom, the bf stable kernel. if its either of those, then its something new.. i noticed it today or maybe last night, not really sure.
anyone got a suggestion for what to look for to undo or redo?
the button its self still works, i can manually launch the phone and use the green button to initiate the call, so i know its not just flat broken.
i have reset the adw launcher to see if i did anything to it..
i looked over the cyano settings also, but i dont see anything related to the green button.

reflashed my rom, it fixed it.
wish i hadnt had to go that far.

No backlight - Anyone having this issue as well?

I've been in this rooting game since it began, and I never had a major issue.
Unfortunately now I have come across one, and I believe it may be a Hardware problem, but I'm not entirely sure.
At any rate, the other day I'm on the computer the phone is charging through the usb cable, and while im using it, the back light goes out. I think this is weird.
I lock, and unlock it and everything is back to normal, but when I slid the screen back the back light went out again.
And the home button didn't work either, I doubt this was a problem with Cyan's ROM, or a theme. I do have the new lockscreen but I never had an issue.
So from Cyan's 4.0.4 I upgrade to the experimental version and the problem persists, the back light won't turn on unless the screen is slid up/open (Also, I have no lock screen!? wtf?).
Afterwards I decide to go back to 4.0.4 and even when my phone boots up the back light wont turn on unless the phone is open/screen is slid up. So obviously it seems like a hardware issue.
Anyone else have this problem? or any thoughts about it?
I'm on Cyan's 4.0.4 - no theme

reset your phone. hit call,menu and power at the same time. then let us know how everything works.
Funny things happen when you don't wipe, make a nandroid backup of your current setup and than wipe and flash again and see if it persits
I tried both of those suggestions but they didn't work at all.
Lame, like I said it might be a hardware problem, so I might have to just call them

This is a hardware problem. Happened to me too. Been trying to find a solution, but the fact that it still has the same backlight problems when the phone is booting (On the T-mobile G1 screen) shows that's it's way beyond the ROM.
Mine even has the same problems on the recovery screen. Time to find a new G1. If you find a solution, lemmie know. I've been looking for one.

G1 Device screen not wake up, a short message to all DEVs,

Dear all DEV,
I dont know if you all facing same problem as me, I have tried many kind of Hero for G1 from tradition hero by Drizzy till now the rom was upgrade to use RAM hack, but now I found one issue with my G1 when I try new rom that build on new JAC kenel ( I can't remember all BFS xxx) and it was my phone will not wake up and alert me anything after he sleep for quite a long time, for example, some one call me, they still can ring me, but for me I know nothing from me phone and even I press to unlock the phone, nothing happen. The screen just stay back or sometime I can see some picture from the screen without backlight, but nothing work for me, unless I pulled out battery and reboot phone back. After new reboot, it will go back to same situation again after a long sleep.
This text is not a panic to any DEV, but I want to show it out to you guy all in the new thread just want you all hear about this issue, cause sometime I reply in other thread, it was obmitted.
MOD, you can say I start new thread for nothing important and you can close it anytime you want, cause My main purpose just need some DEV to see my issue and keep it in consideration.
As this issue happen to me currenly I can not use SenseHero or M-LING... cause it's all give me this bad experience, and now I just stay with a very tradition Hero from Drizzy.
Regards,
I did have the same problems when using BFS 300 and 302. But 202 was fine, but didn't have WIFI. Pretty much what you need to do is use one that doesn't use any BFS (MLIGN, myHero) and you'll be fine.
Not sure if this is the same problem or not?
I replaced the MB in my G1 and now it fails to wake the screen up - SOMETIMES. No real rhyme or reason to it that I have found. I suspect that it's related to the MB and not any specific ROM. On reboot, sometimes I get the G1 logo for a few seconds, and then it goes black until reaching the boot screen. Other times it will go white on reboot, or white with black stripes. Sometimes, I can get it to wake up by pressing power then home several times, but that hasn't worked in a few days.
I'm preventing it from going to sleep, seems to work but it killer on my battery. Posting here to see if anyone else has run into this, and if there are any known fixes.
This only happens to me when I had stericsons LS. This may be a thing of the past because now I just stick with cyans rom. Last night I tried the 10 mb hack and had the issue again. Developer was already aware and working on the kernels though.

Home and search button's not working

Hi, I have an AT&T Nexus One, running FRF85B currently. As of lately, even before update I noticed my home and search button stopped working. The haptic feedback responds when I touch them but they don't do anything. I searched the forums so please don't flame me if I missed a thread. Much thanks to anyone that can help!
P.S. I soft reset the phone a few times and also have reflashed
can you post a logcat of what happens when you press the buttons? and also try wiping cache and dalvik cache
Try to wipe and reflash and post logcat
Gfs stock phone just started doing this. Will try to get some kind of logs... A reset wouldn't make her very happy, fffuuuu

according to this we arent the only ones. it looks like a factory reset can fix the problem, but some on the link above re-encountered the problem weeks later.
surprised XDA hasnt run into this before...
in addition to home/search buttons haptic'in but not doing anything, slide lock screen goes away and the phones cannot receive calls.
Those buttons are programmable, maybe some app took control and does nothing ?A launcher perhaps?
'Programmable'? How can I set Search to ixquick?

The app's manifest needs to mention that it can handle that event

doesnt make sense though, everyone that has had this issue had all 3 completely unrelated issues:
1. buttons vibrate, do nothing
2. phone cannot receive calls
3. lock screen disappears
a wipe fixed it last night but man it was a ***** to reinstall everything for her.

we ended up getting HTC to warranty the phone and everything was fine until this morning..
any help?
same
So i started having this problem about 3 weeks ago as well right after i flashed CM7's newest experimental build. first thing I witnessed was not being able to receive calls. I figured that this was a problem with CM7 and flashed modaco's r26, after a full wipe, when it just came out a few days ago. After a day, i got the problem with the lock screen and the home and search buttons not working. I again thought this was a problem with gingerbread for some reason and flashed MIUI Mod Rodriguez style rom, again full wipe. I had restored everything through titanium backup and other forms of recovery and within about 60 minutes my home button and search keys stopped working.
So I finally figured that it was some settings that I must have adjusted and carried through numerous different ROMs that caused the problems. So next time around I didn't restore anything, running on MIUI mod, and didn't restore anything for the remainder of the day to see what happened. Low and behold, after a reset the problem came back. One other complication is that the phone will always forget my google account and i'll have to re-connect it. Then I realize that the home key doesn't work. So even not importing anything from my old Rom's with a clean wipe didn't get rid of it.
I still get haptic feedback, but the buttons just don't do anything. I changed the setting for how home and search respond in both scenarios and can't get any response either. I flashed back to an old version now and so far i'm alright. But if someone can figure out why this is happening that would be awesome.
For the other people who are having this problem, when you're doing a clean wipe are you then restoring things back via titanium back up or otherwise? and when did you first start to experience these problems?
Istarted having this same problem today. I recently flashed over to cm7 rc2 and then the same thing happened. It seems like after I do a titanium backup and then change a setting it will reset to the cm boot screen and when it comes back there's no home screen or search buttons. All the same issues. Haptic feedback works but nothing happens. I'm on an evo btw.
Same thing occuring for me after flashing CM7. Reverted back to Miui, but so far no luck in fixing this. Numerous factory resets have yet to resolve as well. This is pretty frustrating...
Having this issue as well on CM7. DEFINITELY Titanium related.
I had this problem too. I just had to shut down the phone then leave it for about 10-15 minutes then turn it on again. Everything should be fine again. ^^

[Q] Back and Menu button not working sometimes.

Hey guys,
I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but the back and menu buttons stop working suddenly. This has happened to me twice. A simple On and Off fixes this, but I wanna know if theres a proper fix for it? My phone is rooted with the stock ROM "KKA". Anyone else experienced this?
My phone is NOT rooted with the stock ROM "KKA" and suffers the same problem.
Mone rom is rocket v17 , i got the same problem 2nd time.AND screen didn't wake up.
I have had this issue once so far, rooted with official Arabic Rom. does anyone have a solution?
had to restart the phone to bring it back to normal.
Read on Androidnz blog that this happens sometimes using spen with button press for using menu features like pulling up menu or back button etc.
I'm rooted, standard ROM, rarely use the SPen (haven't got around to understanding what I can do with it). I've had the unresponsive Back and Menu button problems a few times - only solution I can find is to switch off and back on again.
Good to know that it's not just me, but it would be nice to find a solution.
Same issue. Stock rom. Happened to me just now and the stylus was not being used at all.
well i also have that problem. i also know others with this problem.in my case restarting the launcher helps.ofcourse if u have both home and back button not responding at the same time then its not possible.i get both of them not responding at the same time very very rare.at that time all i do is turn of the screen and wait a few minutes.thats all,every thing is normal again.oh one more thing i think its a good idea to keep more than one launcher installed and not making any of the default.it helps switch between them easier.switching between launcher always helps in these not respondig issues.
