HTC Diamond hardware button problem - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General

I have a strange problem, the call button and the home button work perfectly, also the arrow up, down and left do their job,
but if i press the back button, end call or right arrow button (i need to press really hard to get some sort of respone) all of them work as the back button, no matter where i click on the right side of the navi board.
when i try to call somebody, the end call button works only if i press it about 2 seconds after the call button, but once the call is conected it won't work, neither when i hold it, it's just not working, and the right arrow button i need to press about 50 times to move right, and then another 50 times...
i tried to reflash another ROM, but the problem still remains
did anyone have a similar problem?
Is this this a software of hardware problem?
Did anyone manage to solve this problem?

To exclude, that this is a software problem do the following:
1. shut down the phone
2. take the battery out for a few seconds and insert it again
3. flash the original latest version of your provider rom (if it's a xda diamond, then flash the latest O2 rom, and so on if it's orange, t-mobile, vodafone ...)
4. after you setup the rom, make a hard reset
5. now have a look; does the issue persist? If yes, then it's shurely a hardware problem

Keyboard not working

I have a problem with my Kaiser. The keyboard and the front buttons do not work anymore. Only the center front button and the right side stand-by button are working.
I read here on the forums that it can be a software problem? I didn't made any rom update or other chages, I used the phone as it was from the start. After 2 months of using I got this problem with the keyboard. Any advice or should I get the phone to the Service?
I tried soft reset and after that a hard reset (I backed up the data with Sprite), but the problem persists.
Another thing: not making any changes in keys mapping I noticed that the right side stand-by button was mapped for voice recording! That was quite strange, when I activated the screen in the same time it began recording voice. I correctly remaped the button as it was, but again I don't know how it changed by itself...
when you did the hard reset, did you restore your backup right away? or did you test the buttons right after the hard reset?
I've testet the buttons before making the restore. They had the same problem: not working and the stanby button was also mapped as voice recording.

after a hard reset the power button was set to voice recording? When you refer to the standby button, do you mean the power button?
If in deed you did a Hard Reset then the device would be back to default settings. If you are getting the power button mapped to voice recording then your device is f**ked up badly, or at least the ROM is trashed.
you sure you didn't try to flash your rom or SPL?

No, after the hard reset the voice recording was still mapped... When I reffer to the stanby button I mean, yes, the power button.

Absolutely not! I am not a informatician to play with this kind on mods and installs. I only had my software (YM, iGo etc). Never tried to update or change the rom or the SPL.
If it is like you say, this it can't be repaired in the service?
the same problem, but i have a little more strange things:
- device still mapping power (standby) button for voice commander, even after few hard resets without restoring any previous data
- holding power button mapped for record, so after hard reset, even before aligning screen, device starts recording
- when i'm on a desktop, pressing twice power button (off/on), device going to calling screen and trying to found contact that starts with "edfc"
- when i'm in contacts, pressing twice power button (off/on), device trying to found contact in search, that starts with "edfc"
- keyboard doesn't work, front buttons also too
- when i'm typing any message in notes, for example, i can't erase it - backspace button on virtual keyboard doesn't work also
So, what are you thinking about that? Can anyone help me?
Added:
- can't get into bootloader screen (power+camera+reset)
- in Android front buttons are works, keyboard - too, except 4 buttons. guess which? e,d,f,c
Added:
- re-flashing SPL and few ROM's doesn't help
Anyone?
Or I need get prepared to buy another one?
definitely sounds like a hardware issue. you could disassemble it and check if there are any lose connectors
ok. i've checked with another motherboard and the problem is - ... motherboard. can't be more specific right now, i'll try to find out more.
sigh.....sounds spendy. Been having the same issues, if its the motherboard dont know if i should just hold out on fixing it for a touch pro 2 and use my old nokia for a while. hmmmm, hopefully its not something super spendy. Never thought i would miss my tilt so much T_T

Problem with hang up button or software?

I will try to explain the problem as simple as possible even if it's not.
The problem is as following: after closing "opera" and I disconnect from WIFI after awhile being used pressing immediately the "hang up buttom" to enter into the rapid menu or the specific function that I selected, it does not do what it's suppose to but the touch flow iscons scroll towards the right. The only solution to abilitate once again the original fucntion is to do a soft reset.
Can you help me?
thanks
I have been experiencing something similar. Sometimes a press on the end call button seems to be registered by the phone as a "move right" command. I have no idea what it is. Can anyone help? After I go back "home" everything seems ok.
Maybe that touch pad at the bottom is not as good as it should be?
ok but why after soft reset the button turn ok?
please help me

all calls get put on hold

I have done a search, and can't find anyone else with this problem. I am using Dutty's Diamond v1. If the backlight goes off, or if you hit the power button, the call gets put on hold. You have to hit the power button to activate the call again. I used to be able tp push the power button, and the backlight would go off. Now, if I hit the power button (on a call), the backlight switches off for a second, then comes back on with the call on hold.
I have tried hard resetting the device and even tried another rom. The problems persists. Any ideas?

Just curious if youve tried another rom as well as another radio.....
Funny you should ask.LOL. I thought it could have been the reason, so I loaded "L26KDTLB6" with radio 1.71.09.01. I even tried changing the spl, but it still does this.
I have the same problem. I don't suppose you found a solution?

Physical BUtton on Xperia besides Power Button Don't Work

So all my physical keys on my xperia x1 including the Volume button, the ok button, the X panel button, the pick up call button, the end call button, the two silver buttons all don't work. None of the keys on my keyboard work either.
I've been trying to hard reset but every method I've found includes holding down the volume button (which doesnt work since that button is unresponsive). I've tried the 2 silver button method along with the poking the stylus in the hard reset hole in the back of the phone but that doesnt work either since the silver buttons are unresponsive.
So now I'm looking for the Clear_Storage thing I've been reading about but I can't find it so could someone please supply me with the directory I could find it in or any other solution you can think of to help me hard reset my phone so I can flash a new ROM.
BTW I've used Hard-SPL to flash roms before, it's just this last ROM from itje got all screwy and made the buttons stop working.
Thanks, Nik
Setting > System > Clear Storage.
Sometimes Itje takes it out of his ROMs, though. You can try reflashing by pc method if it's not there.
Yea I've checked and it's not in there, how would you do it by pc?
Is it that ruu executable that you run while it's synced? For some reason
that never actually worked with my comp which is why I always resorted to the SD Card Flash method, but I can't get into the Hard-SPL loader now cause of the button problem.
Does anyone know how to hard-reset without having to use the hardware buttons, because I really need to be able to use my phone again.
Need Help =/
Next to malfunctioning buttons, is the phone starting up?
What happens, if you plug a USB cable in? If you can select ActiveSync mode, then you could easily try to re-flash another ROM image - maybe the one you have been using was corruptly downloaded or something.
Or, if you get too much of strange behaviour like this, try a stock ROM first, then another custom ROM.
It boots up and works fine as long as I stick to using the touch screen and I can USB ActiveSync it too. I know some of the older ROMs used to have an exe you could run while in ActiveSync and it would auto install but most of the new ROMs assume you're using the SD Card Method so I can't find the PC Installer app.
Alright so I managed to isntall a new version of that Firestorm Rom (3.8 I think) and my hardware buttons still don't work.
Like from the buttons that Works:
Power Button
Camera Button
Optical Joypad (only the center square)
Stuff that doesn't work:
X-Panel Button
Ok Button
Volume Button (up, down, center)
Pick up Call
Hang Up Call
Two Silver Buttons (left and right)
Left and Ride on "D-Pad"
ALL KEYBOARD KEYS
What is their left to do if a new ROM doesn't fix the problem?
what are my options for getting this fixed?
my volume keys dont work, dont know why but sometimes theyre working and sometimes not.
i have the same issue. but my g-letter button works. and all other buttons make the volume go up one notch and then down again. further more when i go into settings and the menu that controls what the buttons it only says it has a left and a right button.
have u been able to figure something out??
began working again
after a month it suddenly started to work again! dont know why or how
is a hardware problem, with your flex.
i can tell you this is hardware problem.flash your phone with orginal spl and orginal rom and send sony ericson.i had same problem.they gave me new unit after 3 months fight good luck.
no doubt, it's hardware problem..
Agree with human75, flash your x1 with stockSPL n original ROM before u send it to SE. Do it via your PC.. Goodluck bro

Htc Tytn 2 Screen problem

Hi everyone,
I got a HTC Tytn 2 and i have a problem with it.
When i boot the phone it starts up and goes into windows like every windows mobile phone.
But when i press the standby button my screen wont go out of standby.
Only when i reset the phone it will work again.
Anyone got idea's ?
Oke, since no one responded.
Is there any way how i can make the Power Button replaced with the Speed Dial Button.
Because i think my power button is broke.

Have you at least tried backing up your data and doing a hard reset first ?
Yes, and i have also tried to put on a new rom and even updated the radio.
Iam a little bit out of idea's...
here are some more ideas:
1. how to test the power button: you say pressing the power button does not wake up the device once it goes to sleep. conversely, does pressing the power button put the device to sleep while the screen is on? if the power button is unable to make the device go off->on as well as on->off, then the power button is likely broken. if pressing the button achieves on->off, then the power button is probably ok and some software issue becomes more likely.
2. how to enable wake on pressing ANY hardware button: look for an option in Settings. i can't tell you the exact option because the ROM i am using does not have a link for this option, but this option does exist 100% in stock ROM and in lots of other ROMs. it contains settings like "Lock all buttons except power button" and "Keep all buttons unlocked" or something similar. by using the second option, pressing ANY hardware button while the screen is off will wake up the device.
3. you can use AE button plus to perform even more advanced button (re)mappings.
4. just to be sure that your device is really working correct, does the screen wake up when you call the phone or when you receive a text message? if it does not wake up even then, then search for "sleep of death".
Thanks for the response.
I think its a Service of Death problem.
Because when i try calling/smsing it, it wont go on
The buttons do work then...hopefully there's a fix for this problem...
Oke, i tried switching to 2G or 3G only but that didn't fix my Standby of Death.
I also bought a new sim card of vodafone so i wont get a No Sim error.
But what can i do now about it...it hangs like every 5 min...
Okay, after a will testing, the phone hangs every time its almost like when iam on the road with my tytn 2 and placing it upside down, it hangs.
But when iam putting it in the leather holder it doesn't hang.
Any had the same problems ?

Maybe it's hardware and something is coming loose
