navigation buttons up/left/enter stopped working - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General

Hi,
I've a Qtek S110. Last saturday it did a hard reset, while it was in my pocket.
Now the up, left and enter (middle) buttons of the navigation stopped working. down and right work as usual.
I tried..
- install the latest usable roms (1.12.00 WWE / R1.13.00 / E1.12.550WWE).
- searching the register
It may be a hardware issue, but further its working as usual.
Is there a way to solve this? should i try to open it and clean the button contacts (if there are any?)
It could be that during the hard reset those buttons were pushed, since it was in my pocket. Than it is a software issue right?
Anybody any light on this issue?

A ROM update is followed by a hard reset which should clear out anything software related.
I only had the back cover removed so I dunno whether further opening the front would help. :?:

Well it could be a software issue.
There are also problems with hard resetting and sound, if the earphone is plugged in (search for no sound).
Then the device 'remembers' the status of the earphone not correct. So maybe the buttons were pressed during hard reset, and the device remebers the button status?? just guessing...

Prophet DPad help

My HTC Prophet's DPad has partially stopped working.
First of the UP stopped working, then several hours later the LEFT key didnt respond. Ive tryed cleaning the DPad and a soft reset to no avail.
When i leave the phone after 5 seconds it acts a if the left direction is being pressed and held. This action stops when i press the right or down key.
Anyone know what may be going on?
Back up your info then try hard reset.
It sounds like a hardware problem, but thats the only way to be sure.
Unfortunately if this is a hardware fault the only solution would be to take it to the lab.
Moving to prophet section.
Tryed HR, no avail.
Im pretty sure its hardware issue. There is grass stuck inside the casing which is impossible to reach. Everynow and again a small piece falls out.
Since yesterday im now able to scroll left. So i can only not scroll up now. Ill have to drive over some cobbles with the phone in the cradle to try dislodge some more.

Keyboard backlight off too quick

Hi guys,
I'm very new to pda's/smartphones 'n stuff, so be gentle.
I have a Touch Dual since few days, and the one thing that irritates me is the keyboard backlight. When typing an sms the lights go off just after 8 seconds or so... That's too fast for me, I still have to get used to having a qwerty keypad on my phone.
to be clear: I don't mean the backlight on the display itself, buy the light beneath the keypad when open.
Is there a registry setting, or a tweak/application that could correct this for me?
Thnx in advance,
Lukas
same problem here...
You could try the most excellent KaiserTweak, I've found most of its tweaks to be compatible with my Nike, haven't tried the backlight though -> http://www.jongma.org/KaiserTweak/
yes try the kaiserTweak. it's under option Keyboard->backlight. The default value is 10 sec. you can up the time to more in the tweak.
Downloaded the tweak app, changed the keyboard setting and a bunch of other interesting settings (because I'm a curious idiot in case someone asks) and now the device kind of hangs on the password screen... I can't unlock anymore.
The device reacts to taps and both screen and keypad input. Also, if I type the wrong password I get the obvious error message. If I type the correct passcode, and tap 'unlock' then nothing happens and after a minute or so the * disappear and I can start over again..
Is this a known bug?
What do I do now? Hard reset? That will wipe out all my settings and files right?
Thnx
Lukas
please help... Hard reset did not help. Device is still unresponsive...
This are the numbers I get when the device is booting:
M 04
B 04
R 1.58.16.27
G 25.61.30.03H
D 1.31
just want to make sure you did your hard reset correctly. how did you do it exactly? the button by the battery after you remove the back cover?
I took this from the manual because from what you described. doesn't sound like you did it correctly. a hard reset should put it back to its factory setting.
Hard reset
You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a system problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings -‑ the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile® software and other pre-installed programs will remain.
To perform a hard reset
1. Press and hold the TALK and END buttons, and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the left side of your device.
2. Release the stylus, but continue pressing the TALK and END buttons until you see the following message on the screen:
This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to the manufacturer default settings. Press ENTER to restore manufacturer defaults, or press any other button to cancel.
3. Release the TALK and END buttons, and then press ENTER on your device.
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.
Hi Fatlove...
Indeed you're right. And I did read my manual. And I did it EXACTLY like stated in the manual.
This is what I posted in the General forum:
Ok,
This is going to be stupid, but I'll admit to it anyway...
I've read in the manual on how to perform a hard rest. It states to push the send and end buttons, keep the pushed in, and then press the soft reset button until a text appears on the screen. That text states to press "Enter" to continue, and any other key to cancel.
Well, the 'Enter' key to me is the 'enter' key on that qwerty keypad, not the shiny silver button between the Send and End buttons.
To the writer of the manual the enter key on the keypad does not exist.
So that's why a hard reset did not help. Because I did not perform one.
My bad. Anyways, my phone is ok again, sorry for the doublepost.
Grtz
Lukas
Anyways, thnx for the reply, and for the record: the keypad backlight still doesn't work after har reset and re-applying the keiser tweak. Still lit only 8 seconds or so. Does it matter that I copied the Keiser executable to my storage card? It doesn't have to be on the device itself now, does it?
Thnx again.
Lukas
Nope.. kaisertweak is not working for this property (Keyboard backlight)
Anyone
I tried several Registry settings but nothing worked so far.
Anyone else had succes?
Still no solution for this problem?
It's pretty annoying
I tried changing values in the registry as well, but nothing worked. So I'm also interested in a possible solution...
Damn, I hate that light turning off that quick. There must be a solution
I also have been trying a lot of registry settings without solutions
Anybody knows?
I tried this kaiser tweak on my dual and it had no effect. Had to remove it.
kaiser tweak had no effect on my dual either..
qwerty key board

I've the same problem, keyboard backlight stops after about 8 seconds
I tried some register settins and also with Advanced Configuration Tool (Julien Schapman), but no result.
Hope somebody can fix this

Today I noticed my hardware buttons aren't working(camera,red,green). I can't figure it out and it's making it super hard to use my phone. The lights on the buttons are also on full time. I can't do a hard reset because my buttons aren't working. Ive also tried installing other roms but i keep getting error 262 in the rom installer. Please help me guys.
Ok, I couldn't hard reset the phone, but I was able to reinstalled the bell 6.1 rom. THIS DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. The lights on the buttons are still permenently lit, even if the phone is turned off. The red, green, camera buttoms DONT work. Please help me. I've tried leaving the battery out for 20 mins as well as countless soft resets
Same problem
I have the same issue, but my lights aren't staying on. the phone will sit there and i can turn it on, then i can't turn it off or use the hardware buttons. I'm curious as to what you have installed on the phone. I had an issue with the hard lights staying when i used google latitude in their maps application.
Do you have the new version of Skype installed? Vers. 3?

strange keyboard problem

I experienced something strange with my Qtek 9100 today. when i turned on my phone, all the keys including the call and the 'hang up'-button where backlighted. the keys did not respond as they should, and pressing the d-pad center would either open the start menu or initialize the screen calibration. if i opened the Notes app and created a new note, the note was filled with single letters like the L, the H or the Y. none of the keys seemed to be working when i pressed them.
i've experienced this once before, and the only thing in common is that i had my phone in a thight pocket for several hours. last thime i solved the problem by hibernate the unit and pressing all the keys, and turn it on again. this time it wasn't that easy, but i managed to get it working again at last.
but why is this happending?
PS: i've tried soft reset and taking out the battery, and that didn't help.
Please help me and my phone
