It feels like the slidebutton is loose and it dont respond sliding it.
Should it be a spring or something to reject the button after sliding?
PLZ,,e-mejl me at [email protected] if anyone got a picture or know
how it should look like.

Hi Guys.
I had a quick search for this but other than posts about the button lock "when off" thing, which I have enabled, I can't find a fix for this, what I consider to be, bug/fault/failing.
The thing which really really gripes with me is the dumb buttons all around the edges of the Universal. Sure, when the phone is off, they are disabled, but what about when the phone rings ?
I grab the phone but have to try to dance around any and all buttons because as soon as it gets a call it wakes and the buttons become live.
I've had to forget having the phone in it's case (I tried a krussell case for it but it stresses the screen hinge) because you have to wail away on the keys in order to get the thing out the case.
I could assign the functions of the buttons to <none> but it kinda negates them even being there.
A way to disable them when off and also on call receipt would be just the ticket.
gee, I really hate this aspect and if I lose another call I swear I'll throw it out the window.
I dont really understand your concerns.
I use button lock, and they do lock without a problem.
When my phone rings, the phone call buttons are active to accept or decline.
I also use the krussel case and didnt find any hinge stress, and had easy access to the answer and hangup buttons located on the hinge. mind use, i usually keep the clam closed so i had not problem accessing any of the buttons, ever.
I have also extended the ring time from the 10second default to the 30 second maximum available, so I am not in any rush to answer the phone in the first place, and dont need to visually see who is calling as I accept all incoming calls, or decline all incoming despite who it is. so simply pressing the green button located on the hinge is easy.
so alas, I dont understand your problem.
But when your phone rings, the other external buttons are also active, camera etc. So, when dragging the phone out of a pocket or it's case, you are almost bound to catch one of those butons or, as has happened, the Red call-end button on the side.

I tested this on mine and whilst you are right about the buttons being active, the phone answer/ignore window stayed foremost regardless. In my case i tested a button I have assigned to notes and the notes window appeared underneath the call window.
As with previous comments I really don't see the issue as anything more than trivial, especially considering the buttons size and pressure required to activate it. Perhaps someone will (or has) write a little utility to disable the buttons except for the phone answer/ignore. In the meantime I wouldn't worry about it.
Using a SPV M5000 and keep it in the leather/elastic holster provided with the phone, and have the same problem with loosing calls whilst extracting the phone from the holster. My rings before going to answer service is set at 30 secs, and that makes no difference.
Just need to find a decent case which doesn't interfere with any of the buttons.

You could try this case. I loved my previous xda2 case and this is the closest I could get with a belt clip. Phone rings, I unclip, check the green (middle) phone button, press and answer. Finish and press red (end) phone button and reclip.
BTW I'm not at all related to the vendor.
I really love my Prophet, but the only thing I'm missing is a way to lock the screen when making or answering a call, while still letting me use the D-Pad if I need to search for a contact or something, and then unlock the screen when I hang up.
Is there such a program/reg tweak?
I was wondering what people do to turn the backlight back on during a call if it turns off after its set amount of time. Was wondering because sometimes when trying to get to menu's or ending a call i end up putting the call on hold or mashing other buttons when trying to figure out where to touch on the screen, But i haven't really messed around with anything else.
I understand that its a strange question but I'm relatively new and just trying to make things easier with my new phone.
I just slightly move the scroll wheel. Another way is to touch the dpad up or down.
I also just figgle the scroll wheel, it works perfectly
the u/2 button stopped working and starts randomly pressing itself every time i turn it on... and it randomly presses itself during texting as well and the u/2 button doesnt work its kinda getting annoying now.... can any one help or have any suggestions on what to do.... thanks
any ideas?
u/2 ...? What is that...?
It's probably similar to what happened to my Toshiba laptop. I'd get a pattern of letters/symbols when typing on it, because the case/keyboard screws were too tight and it spontaneously would generate these signals. I'd bet something smacked your keyboard or it was pressed too hard and something broke inside.
It's probably not user repairable, at least not easily, and probably a warranty workable item. Flash back to the stock ROM and send it in, especially if this only occurs when using the slider keyboard.
Hope it helps, even if it is bad news.

the u button on the keyboard.... and i dont have warrenty on it because i bought it off ebay and i live in canada its a tmobile phone. theres no way i can fix it? like it presses itself when i turn the screen on and sometimes when im writing texts.... but the actual "u" button doesnt work when pressed
It can be fixed, but I don't think it will be easy. That is, if it is similar to what I am thinking. If you're daring, or desperate, you can try disassembling the unit to see if something is cut or pinched, causing a short.
Is anyone here familiar with the hardware side of this unit?

I think it doesnt make a good contact with the mainboard.
If you press the button, does it feel different then other buttons..?
Otherwise it could be alot of things but the best thing to do is to take it to your carrier store.
Maybe they could do something for you.
nope the button feels just like any other button when i turn off the screen and turn it on it dials 2 a few times... and when i text sometimes the u button repedetly comes on the screen.... =( its so annoying
sometimes when the screen gets little wet due to sweat after attending prev call , the screen doesnt work properly and when a call comes it becomes very hard ...
so is tehre a way to reassign the call answer from touch screen to physical key like Menu/Home/or even Back ?
is a good question, I really doubt there's one
i heard we can map keys for waking up the phone,,,
has anyone found a way to assign any physical button to accept and end calls?
ya anyone ?
