Quirky prob. The directional buttons, center button, and the contacts button all don't work at all. Odd. I opened the casing with the 'bad sound' tutorial as a guide, cleaned the contacts, no effect.
Strangely enough, the call and end call buttons weren't working either till who the heck knows what I did. Now thery work perfectly.
I mean honestly, this is some supernatural behavior. Tempermental hardware buttons? I need Scully on the scene now.
I can work around it, but can think of other things I'd rather do... like use the phone normally.
Not expecting much, given the strangeness factor(tm) but any help much appreciated.
did you use TCPMP?
i've had same problem after this player.
No TCPMP, or atleast...
Not that I know of, unless it's gets installed by default in the extended rom.
Here's another strange bit of behavior. Every 5 mintues or so, the 'contacts' button gets 'virtually' pressed twice. Whatever is assigned. Even though tHe button itself doesn't seem to work
Furthermore still, after the phone comes back from standby, the call and end call buttons don't work until I press another button first. Then they work fine.
So farm the directional pad doesn't respond to anything, neither one in the middle.
I don't know whether it's a hardware prob or software at this point.
Phone has both wwe and radio 1.13 and all the extended t-mobile apps intalled.

I have had my 8125 for quite some time now and it has gone thru alot. My problem is that the call/answer key/button does not work as well as the call end button. Does anyone know of any apps that i could use as a sub. phone pad? I set my voice record button as my phone button but the is no talk icon in that phone pad. Any ideas would be great, thanks.
Can I get clarification please?
Your touch screen phone pad is not working...or your hardware button are not working?
If it's the former, it may be corrupted like mine was, just install a new pad (you can get some nice ones from zombienexxus)...at least doing that worked for me. The other thing you can try is to re-flash your rom. If it is the buttons on the device, I am not sure how to help you, other than asking if you are at all under warranty or have insurance on the device with which you can use to swap it out.
Sorry couldn't help more. Best of luck.
the hardware :-(
bad news for me. it is not the touchscreen, it is the actual psysical buttons on the phone. but in most new roms the dial pad only has certain buttons and lacks others. i just need a basic pad with the ability to hit the touch version of the call button, due to my physical button not working.
I'll give it another go ahead to find an alterative pad. thanks for the remomendation though.
I've search through:
Gaijin Guide for x01HT
Video Call Button
Hermes Wiki
A bunch of searches have come up empty.
Softbank x01HT
Using Pays Rom WM6.1
or K's Pro rom
Call Button OK.
The Video Button and End Call button however do not work (screen menus work fine)
Any suggestions?

Buttons not working
If a button stops working, yet you know the functionality still works, then I'd suggest a battery reset. Simply remove the battery from your 8525 (must be completely out) for about 15-20 seconds, place it back into your 8525 and turn it on.
I had to do this back when I had iPAQs and Dell Axims, and have to do it with my 8525 from time-to-time when my camera button stops working. This performs a hardware reset. As long as your battery is in your 8525, there is essentially power flowing within the 8525, even though you have the screen turned off. By doing this, you're allowing all power to drain from the 8525's circuit cards/boards and performing a hardware reset (whereas using the stylus only gives you a software reset).
I hope this helps you!
Thanks. No dice (sorry for late reply).
Changing the os to AT&T clears up the call / end button. The moment I load a homebrew like pays, TnT ... The call/end/video buttons stop.
Very Odd.
My M700 (orange rom, new radio rom) is having problems with the buttons (or is it?)
Basically, I noticed things were happening without me pressing buttons, occasionally (like when Im in a phone call) it will flash up that I cannot put this call on hold (though I didnt try to)- or when I'm in GPS (TomTom) it occasionally goes back to the options screen without me pressing anything.
I also noticed that occasionally the scroll wheel wont work on the side, and if i press the memo button opposite, it goes to the "realign my screen" program (which happens when you press them both together) but then it works normally again
Finally the little directional pad at the bottom has stopped working sometimes (including the button in the middle, but not the buttons surrounding them ie ok, windows hang up, make a call etc) -
Anyway - it seems to me like either there is a software problem, or that one of the buttons is being activated continuously, possibly by dirt, which might explain the intermittent nature of the fault.
Does anybody have any similar experience?
And...
What should I do - look at potential software problems, or hardware - (Im thinking hardware) should I take it to bits and clean it?
Thanks for reading my lengthy post, and I really appreciate any help from anyone, especially from people who've had this problem and fixed it
Update (2 mins later)
Whilst examining my pda, I dropped it onto the floor, and everything started working again - I'm beginning to think that its the silver button in the middle of the direction pad that is causing the fault, as when I hold it on it has all the same effects -
So, if this is the case, does anyone have any ideas, how to clean it easily? (if it is a hardware problem that is- it lives in my pocket and get pretty dusty so it could be)
how to lock all buttons exept the power button in wm6.5 ?
In wm6.1 it was possible to change that in settings/keys menu. But in wm6.5 this is gone for some stupid reason!
I dont want to use ext. app like pocketshield for such a basic and simple feature.
Reason: when phone is screenlocked - any hardwarekey wake up phone from standby. And of course the screen pops up and drain battery. HD2 keys are recessed and in the pocked can easyly accidentialy get pressed. When screen weaks up for some reasons (incoming call or other notification event) the buttons are not locked and i dont need to describe what funny things can happen then (just imagine on your own). Even accidentialy changes to my settings happened in my pocket without recognising.
HTC: this is ridiculous.
Pls help. Is there maybe a easy reghack to activate this basic feature again, like it was implemented in previous Rom versions?
the button lock in WM6.5 is the same as WM6.1 (got X1 before)
but in HD2 it's different.. and I don't think anyone solved this problem yet...
No known solution indeed, apart from using S2U2, and if you want to save more battery adding proximitylock.
what if you locked the keys while you are making a call with bluetooth and you want to look in your phone? You'd have to press the "end call/power" button..
Also since the power button turns the screen off, I automaticly press the same button to turn the screen on when I'm not making a call.. I can't count the times I've ended a call by accident like this.. another great design flaw of this phone
I still hope someone will find a solution for a working hardwarebuttonlock
no one found a solution yet?
i'm having the same problem and strangely i am irritating myself to death on this,
Not a good job HTC!
Hi Guys,
I have been having issues when trying to end a call with the new WP7 Rom. I also used to have this when using Andriod Roms.
When I go to end a call, pressing the end call button does nothing apart from light up the keypad. I've tried pressing every button but nothing but the keypad lighting up happens, the call never ends! I have to remove my battery and switch the phone back on to get the use of my phone back.
I have :
HardSPL 2.08
MAGDLR111
Radio 2.15.50.14
Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Jon

Did you not try the end call on the screen? Not the hard one on the bottom right of phone

The screen turns off when making a call so the touch buttons are not available. This is why I have to remove the battery as I have no other way of bringing the display back to life. Obviously if I make a call and the other person hangs up it's fine. However if they do not answer and it goes to voicemail or I call my voicemail I get stuck in a never ending loop of press 2 to hear your messages.

Official windows phones have no hard end call button, just the on screen one, therefor I dont think its possible to end a call with the hardware button. Yes, the screen goes off when making a call, but due to the proximity censor it should come back when you move it away from your head. If it does not, make sure its not covered, even a screen protector can block the proximity sensor. Its located next to the speaker.
Hmm I removed the screen protector and still no joy when I move the phone away from my face. The screen just remains black. I did crack the screen about 5 months ago and had it replaced, perhaps they've done a poor job on this....
Don't think so... My is in perfect shape. proximity works on android but not on wp7... i also can't press end call button.
same thing with me
well i get the same problem with mine also, is there anything we can do for that.
I have the same issue, though it only happens to me when calling my voicemail. I hit "end call" and it just hangs there with the message "Ending call..." and I have to pull the battery :/ Regular phone calls have been just fine though.
Finally cracked this one!
I have been experiencing this issue on my Optimus 7 phone since day one, on all firmware versions and I now have the latest update.
This is what worked for me:
-set the automatic brightness to off and choose any manual setting that suits your needs, I chose medium.
-set the screen timeout to never (not sure that this is necessary, I will change it back to 30 sec to see if the issue returns and post back)
I hope this works with your phones, it was really frustrating to pull the batery out. Good luck!
I've had this issue as well. Pressing the end call button on the screen won't end many of my calls, voicemail or to another person. But it's rare enough that it hasn't bothered me, too much. But is a problem that needs to be figured out, if possible.
We should come up witha way to re map the hard buttons to usefull use

I'm assuming your phone is an HD2. First of all, the call should automatically end when the other party hangs up. Secondly, just hit the Power button to turn the screen back on and then unlock the phone and hang up. What is so difficult? WP7 remaps the HD2 buttons so they don't work as they did in WM.
