I recently replaced the housing of my XDA mini,
but now I have the problem that after a while
- I couldn't figure out what exactly triggers it -
the buttons don't work anymore.
If I remove the SD-card sometimes they work again.
I think it might have something to do with the
top 2 screws (antenna cover).
Does anybody know for sure?

hi,
I got a XDA mini. The battery cover is actually firmly attached to the phone. But everytime I touch or slightly slide the batterycover the xda turns off. So it became almost unusable (take it out of the pocket - it turns off, trying to call - it turns off)
Now I figured out that there is a tiny switch next to the battery (on the right side). Obviously it became too sensitive. I tried to tape it - it didnt help
Does anybody know how to avoid turning it off when you slide/open the battery cover? (I guess its like one of the hardware-buttons, can you turn them off? Registry?)
Or can anyone provide another solution?
I really need help - the phone is unusable.
tnx for any answer
simple , find a tooth pick that has a sharp point (easy to break toothpick) pok the switch ( lower space between the switch and its base. ) and snap the toothpick to make the switch in on direction ( upward) . you can use small paper and stik into the gap use puller , dont use metal object. it will coz short to your board. and i thnk ders no way program can overwrite it. you cant do programing if your computer is unplugged.
Are you sure there is no software way to disable it? I just thought of somewhat like "Buttonx = poweroff", like the Camera button.
Cause I wonder what happens if the switch breaks off ... Guess you cant turn it back on then.
I dipped into the registry - and there is a button-section, but i dont have a clue what those strings are for.
Well - if there is no other way - then ill try it with the tooth pick
I tried it
it worked for about 4 weeks but now its the same thing - i gues there is sth like a loose contact.

im facing the same problem: yes, it sux. how in the hell HTC had that stupid idea to put a power off button contacting with a cover, and above that, it's a tiny little switch, so prone to become damaged!! GRRRR
hey i was just wondering if someone could help me out here, ive searched around with no luck. I replaced my wing's housing because my old one was all scratched everything works fine but i have one problem when i slide out the keyboard the screen doesnt go to landscape mode and i have no idea whats broke checked all the cables and stuff and its all pluged in, the keyboard works just wont rotate the screen thanks
You can try a hard reset, which should cure any software problems.... but if you were messing with the phone and taking it apart in order to replace the housing ... it sounds like a hardware issue.
its defenitely hardware related just not sure what it could be not sure where the thing that operates the screen and turns it when the slide is open would even be
I had the same problem. Their is a little round magnet in the front housing that you forgot to swap from the old case. Its hard to notice but its in one of the corners in the screen side housing. its under the OK button, under the circuit board. on the actual sliding plastic housing. you'll see a small round recces thats where the magnet goes.
the wing has a Prossesser Of 200Mhz, so what that means is its pretty slow.. just uninstall unused programs and End programs that your not using. Its also possible that your firmware might not Support Sliding.
Hi all, my Trinity's hardware buttons doesn't work.
The 2 softkey hardware buttons, the red and the green button, the ok button and the Start button seems to be broken also if they have backlight. All the others buttons are ok.
I've tried to softreset, hardreset and flash the ROM (I'm using last Ervius ROM). After flashing for the first time the buttons were ok for a littewhile but now they seems to be broken again even after several flash. I've also tried to downgrade to wm5 but nothing change. I think that is an hardware issue and I'm going to try to fix it by opening my Trinity hoping that is just a flat connector pluged out but if someone else has experienced the same problem and has to suggest me something is really welcome.

I experienced this myself, and replaced this item:

HPN
keys are stuck
Mine also, but solved it after a couple of days (temporarily). The hardware buttons problem seems to be related with one of the keys stuck. If one of those keys is stuck none of the others work. I tried "fast" double clicking on one key at a time to unstuck and it worked for me. Mine has been working for two weeks with no problem. Anyway I ordered that part "just in case".
So before opening your trinity try to unstuck the keys. It seems to be related with humidity conditions and carrying the phone in the pocket (just a guess).

I'm going to try this becouse during the last 4 days sometimes the buttons work so.... thanks!
Ok, nothing work.
I've also tried to open the device but looking behind the buttons pad fortunally/unfortunally there isn't an evident hardware problem.
The only solution is to replace the pad.
Hi to all.
I have had buttons not working on my trinity for some time. was tempted to send it back for repair but i did not want to be without my phone and did not want to have to stick the old wm5 rom back on!!
I took my trinity apart too see if i could see anything wrong. and got it down to the keypad. one thing i did notice is that there was a lot of dust. also around the small disks that provide the buttons, there are 3 small holes in the sealing sheet. seems that the construction of the switch array is circuit board at the bottom, with small tin disks on top, all held in place with a thin plastic sheet.
The tin disks 'pop' inside out when you press the buttons, making the contact for the switch. On the old nokia phones, these disks got deformed and this would make the button work but with no click. I had a click but no button operation, and with the holes, and all the dust i found, i figured that it must be dusty contacts.
so here is how i managed to fix my buttons for free:
1, strip the phone to get to the keyboard circuit (i used this link clicky)
2, clean all the dust from the buttons
3, start to tease the plastic film from the front of the board (i used a sharp knife but mind your fingers and take care not to damage the board)
4, once one corner is up you should be able to slowly pull the film up (take care not to damage the disks as the plastic comes up but make sure the disks stay on the plastic sheet)
5, dont pull the sheet totally off otherwise you will have a job getting it all to line up after.
6, get some alcohol or head cleaning fluid on a cotton bud and clean all the gold contacts, as well as the insides of the discs.
7, slowly rub the plastic film to put it back where it came from, taking care to get the disks in the center of the gold contacts.
8, rebuild and test
All being well you should have working buttons again!!! It seems the design of the buttons lets dust inside the workings.
Hope this helps someone with clicking buttons but no action!!!
i'm running a rom (see sign) and the buttons only work after a reboot, after that they like don't work at all.. i gotta use my touch screen pen to use my phone...
any idea whats wrong with it?
I have the same problem as you after awhile using a crc rom. I think its 13 something?
Sometimes I can't type using the keyboard, sometimes the touch screen becomes unusable till I turn the screen off, or sometimes the face buttons dont work. \
There are many threads about problems with the D/Pad connector or the chip on the D/Pad. This I think is the prblem rather than anything to do with the ROM.
If you find the thread about fixing the white screen problems you'll find ideas on possible fixes for the d/pad problems - in particular re-seating the connector (one with two screws) and also an idea about placing some padding over the d/pad chip to put a little pressure on it. Otherwise a new d'pad board might solve the problem (which is quite common).

... and I know it's a long one!!
Hi guys, first post. So heres the problem. My HD2 screen is not glued properly to the base of the phone and it has a little space between them at the bottom right corner ( next to the Power button), whenever i press the screen to close the gap the phone freezes, and i have to remove the batery. It is getting really annoying couse i cant even put the damn thing in my pocket without it freezing. The hardware keys dont even work i just have to restart it. So my question is does any1 know of this problem and can he/she offer a way out?
Sorry for my english. thanks in advance
Sounds like it been opened before & had not the best assembly.
Would imagine hardware button ribbon is torn or pulled out of socket hence no buttons.
freezing issue could be down to issue with digitizer ribbon or button ribbon or worse ?
Do you have any issues with screen touch & do you know full history of the handset.
If black Void sticker is missing from case screw near battery pins then you know it been opened & most repairs including so called specialists are poor from ones I've seen.
I know this is the last thing you want to hear but if it were my device I'd take it apart and redo the assembly myself. Theres plenty of how-to videos with detailed steps. Hope this helps.
