Strange button problem.

Hi all,
I have a strange button issue on my MDA Vario.
All works as it should until I turn off (with power button or times out). When I turn it back on only some of the buttons work - namely the side hard buttoins (Camera, comms and voice memo) as well as the top 2 hard buttons (e mail and t-mobile). The center button in the D pad also works.
The up/down/left/right button and the soft buttons do not work and neither does the slide out keyboard or the phone pick up/hang up.
Now ... when one of the working buttons is pressed it wakes the rest up and it all works fine until the next power off. Tapping on the screens works fine all the time but does not wake the buttons up.
As a work around I have set a "working" button to the today page and use this to wake the other buttons up but it's a real pain.
I have updated the ROM (well worth doing) but it made no difference.
Any one got any ideas?

Hardware button failure

For a while now I've had problems where all the hardware buttons on my 8125 do not function properly. Specifically, the IE button doesn't start the browser, the messaging button doesn't start the messaging app, the phone buttons don't start the phone app, etc...
The camera button occasionally works to start the camera program but stops working after that first press. All the other buttons, including the slideout keyboard do not work at all, with the exception of the volume button, as noted below.
Another symptom is that the volume button, if I forget it's broken and push it by accident, will cause the volume app to popup and try to adjust itself up or down repeatedly. It's obviously thinking the button is stuck.
I know this has got to be a software problems since they all failed at the same time. Does anyone have any idea what might cause this problem and how I might go about troubleshooting it?
I have done a hard reset twice to no avail. The phone was literally 30 days out of warranty when I first reported it to Cingular/AT&T and they wouldn't cover it.

Re: Hardware buttons
Bump. Anyone got any ideas? I can't be the only person that's had this happen.
I just finished flashing the ROM so I went from 1.08 to 2.25 and still no joy.

tmobile wing scrolling down

so ive had this problem before and i miraculously fixed it some how,
so ive done a little googling and seen that im not the only one with this problem, while the phones in portrait, returning from standby the down button seems to be pressed as it scrolls through the today screen insanely, but as soon as i press the up button it stops the scrolling. although the down button it self on the front doesnt work.
now in landscape mode with the keyboard, what would be the down button in portrait is scrolling to the left continuously until i press what would be the up button in portrait but is the right key on the directional pad.
i guess this is a important key factor here...the up, down, left, right arrows are working just fine on the keyboard
its not so annoying that i have to press the up button once to stop the scrolling, i mean i can live without the down button for now til i get a different phone, but as soon as i hit the power button to put the phone into stand by this "scrolling" restarts, so as soon as i hit the power button phone starts scrolling, and it takes, many many attempts for the phone to go into stand by due to this annoying glitch, im not sure if its a registry problem as to i cant find the down button in the registry
i cant seem to fix it like i have previously, i fixed it twice previously, some how.....
if anyone has solved the problem to the wing scrolling down problem, help me out here...

Have you tried restarting the phone? Press and hold the powerbutten (if it works), and answer Yes to the question about shutting down. Take out your battery for 10 seconds, put it back in and fire up your phone... It might help

Hehe, can't answer that. I've had the problem only like twice in three months, so for me it's not a problem... I guess it's a software problem. Remember, it's not a Nokia The inside so much more complicated, so I guess we just have to live with some bugs...

Are you guys sure that this is a hardware related problem? I have the same prob and i was quite sure that i f**ked up the capacitative panel by playing kevtris manickly for quite a long time.
The capacitative screen is comprised by two parts folded.
I have opened the diamond and i found out that there is a lietle piece of metal that binds them together. This was bent(from kevtris probably) so istraightened it out with my bear hands. But it did not fix the problem. Do not try it anyway. Too messy if you have two left hands like me.
Have you ever seen a calibrator for the capacitative screen?

had the same problem only the power button would work , hard reset fixed it.

Have u installed S2U2..try uninstalling it...or install latest version 1.68 of S2U2

Where is the hang-up button?

I noticed this the other day, but figured it was just a fluke thing......I've now made about 10 calls on my OnePlus 2 and when I'm finished with my call, I don't have a hang-up button! I have to hit the home button, then swipe down and choose "Hang Up" from the little window there. Doing this is a quite a chore because the sensors detect when the phone is by your face and shuts off the screen, so when I try to touch my screen it will shut off the screen. I eventually get it, but it sometimes takes about 30-45 seconds to end my call doing it this way.
Am I missing something? Is one of the softkeys (on the phone) now the hang up button?

u have to press the dialer keys button and it will minimize and reveal the round, red end call button. yes, kind of strange. but u can also set your power button to be an end call button i believe.

Thanks!
But, something weird just happened.... I lost my "clear all recent's" and read if you boot into safe mode, that will fix it..... So I booted into safe mode and it fixed my missing "clear all" X......But it also seemed to have changed the behavior of my dialer??!!?! Now, I have the red hang-up button that shows all the time (like it should).
So it just sounds like it's a little buggy still?
