wtf?! They all worked fine an hour ago (power, camera, talk, softkeys, messages...) and now they don't. It isn't a hardware issue because when it goes into standby, I can press the power button to bring it out of standby. Now though, I can't open anything using their respective keys and can't power it off. Anyone have any issues like this? I hadn't installed anything or even been using the phone from the time they worked to the time they stoped working.
Try opening settings -> buttons ->lock and click in "dont lock keys"
Had similar problems that now for some reason went away.

Unfortunately, I tried that and it didn't fix it. It's so odd that the Comm Manager button works when the phone is on and that the power button will work to turn it on or to wake it up. Are there places in the registry that control what the buttons do? Maybe I need to reset this thing? I love this phone when it isn't locking or acting up.
So I reset the phone to it's factory settings. After I went through the calibration and setup, the keys still weren't working. Before I did the reset, I did notice the keyboard keys weren't working either . So after the reset, the buttons still weren't working. I kept just typing stuff in on the keyboard with Word open and it finally started working...all buttons are still working now, but I don't trust it much. Should I bring it in to Cingular to get a new one? I'm still within my 30 days
Yes. If you can get a new one do it. do it.

For some reason, every time I go to write an SMS it is defaulted to be in CAPTIALS and I have to press the shift/cap button twice to get it back to lower case.
It's only just done this today and I can't remember changing anything. Does anyone know how I can change it back to the old setting of being in lower case as default.
Had the same problem once...
Did a soft-reset and everything was back to normal.
OK, will give it a go - thanks
Yeah mine did this, stopped it after i updated the rom which would reboot it to high heaven.
not seen it happen again yet.
I just had this problem.
i had been using the soft keypad and had left the CAPS button on. Soon as I changed it the hard keypad worked properly again

That could have been the problem actually, I remember using the CAPS on the soft pad this morning.
Either way, the soft reset has seemed to have fixed it so it's all good
Hi,
I've had my Hermes for about a month now. On about 4 occassions I've pulled the keyboard to use it and input will not be 'received' properly. It seems the Hermes gets stuck in a 'mode'.
Some of the keys work... like at the moment I clicked forward on an email, slid the keyboard out to start typing but the letters did not work. Pressing 'Return' activates the start menu, however.
I started pressing random things to get it work: I pressed the green phone button to get to the dialer, tapped the X for the dialer to get back to the email and now the keyboard is working again. Weird!
Has anyone else experienced anything similar?

If you can rule out software issues then there is a push on multi connector inside that may not be pressed in firmly!

I've had this problem sometimes. If I 'beat the phone' to it, or catch it mid-thought, as it were... Just have to be a bit slower with it. Seems that I slide the keyboard out before it has time to allocate the appropriate amount of CPU time to flipping the screen and initialising the hardware input, so it either takes a few presses for it to register, or it just gets stuck in keyboard-in mode, and I have to soft reset to make it work.
Happened on my old Hermes, not happened yet (touch wood) on my new replacement.
Hi All,
I have a strange problem, tried to search the forum,
without success...
Sometimes the OK button doesn't response (both OK buttons...),
only clicking OK on the screen works.
another issue - sometimes when clicking the action button nothing happens, or even worse - it acts like a long press even when I press it really shortly...
Any one else had such problems?
Is it (as I guess) a hardware problem?
I have the same problem and I dont think its the hardware cause the button is not presented in "buttonmapping" in the controlpanel. This has worked before. Please respond if you solve the problem.
Mine does it on occasion. Pretty sure it's software and It seems to happen with the same apps each time. Make note of what apps you have running when it happens.
Just started doing it again but I realized that I have never had a prob with the OK or Start Menu buttons but rather the softkeys. In Today Agenda, the left key (edit) stopped working and then a few minutes later the right key (menu) stopped working. I closed all apps and the problem persisted with every appointment I opened. Soft reset fixed it.
I should also add that I am not using the latest version of Today Agenda because I have not figured out how to make it look like the version I am used to.
Might be related: a lot of games I have tried don't seem to support the softbuttons, phone buttons, or really much else besides the directional pad and center select button.
I have a weird problem with one of my two Cingular/AT&T 8525 phones. It appeared before I upgraded to WM6, went away after upgrading, and came back again a few days ago.
It seems that all the buttons are live and touching any button wakes the phone (turns it on). The phone turns on even when I connect it to the charger. Is it due to some Registry corruption or random changing of a setting? The other phone never displayed this behavior.
Any help will be appreciated.
maybe its some software u installed.. try unistalling one by one everything and see which one it is... if not then idk.. lol
good luck man! =]
In the system tab of settings, check out your Keylock.. Should be at " lock all buttons except power button".

Thanks a lot SH4YD33! I have no idea how the setting changed to "Do not lock buttons". Perhaps my wife placed the phone in the pocket of her handbag without switching it off and the buttons created this change. Seems that the phone strives to be alive...
Well a few days ago I went on a barrage and installed a bunch of apps like Gyrator 2, SensorLock, LevelSight, HTC Home, Ultimate Launch, HomeScreen ++.
I also coincidentally noticed two problems now First is when the device is on and I press the power, it doesn't turn the device off! Second is the HD is supposed to be able to detect the status of the stylus so when you pull it out in a call it opens the notes application. I also checked with Gyrator 2 which shows what the system reads for the stylus status and it no longer detects whether the stylus is in or not!
I'm going to try to uninstall each app one by one... but do any of you know whether there might be some other problem?? Or if someone's experienced the same thing, what are some recommendations to remedy this issue?
Each day of using the HD more and more problems keep popping up... I didn't drop $900 on this phone for nothing ><"
Do you also have problems with the volume buttons? If so, then perhaps your keypad service isn't running. You can check this with task manager v3.1

Ahh nifty the volume buttons don't work. Now how to turn this back on... hrmmm... time to poke around.
I had this problem when using MobileMagic for auto rotation using the G-Sensor. Uninstalling this fixed the problem. I now use ChangeScreen and find that this works better for me.
Hope this helps.
cardefbel was right it was the keypad service, I must've turned it off while messing around in the registry, should be more careful next time...
Turned it back on and everything works fine now. Thanks!
