Recently I am having problems with my phone, and am wondering if it is a software or hardware problem.
I have tried loading the TNT4 rom & WS5SE roms (this is a g4), and there is no change (im on the Tnt4 one now).
The touchscreen works okay, but the soft key buttons do not. The right bottom one is okay, the left one triggers the right one, the send button show the letters "uytga" on the phone screen when i press them, the end button shows "mn" or something, the camera button works perfect, the comm manager button is the same as the voice button (even when i map it with a program it says "button 4").
It even happens on the soft keys on the keyboard when i slide it out.
Also I used Start-sSPL to put the roms on. Is there a way I can get the OEM one back on or fix the button problem?
Any help will be appreciated.
During typing I often get to a point where the 7500 thinks that I have pressed a combination of keys to get the Caps Lock on, only it won't stop. I can't find a combination of keys to turn Caps Lock off & can only reset the device.
Does this affect anyone else ?
Any help ?
The 'red dot' (bottom left on keyboard) and shift key turn caps ON or off.
Now, when it comes to the 7501, the red dot is 'blue'. Also, to set caps lock on and off, you have to hold down the Shift Key and touch the Blue Dot key!
Thanks for your tip on the combination, though, as it caused me to reverse what to me would be the normal procedure, ie hold the Blue Dot key down and touch the Caps Lock key which never would work for me.

I found out the caps lock actived on the onschreen keyboard reverses the actions of the HW keyboard functionality!

True (on mine a blue dot) but it only turns it off for one character and then goes back to Caps Lock, that's why I am saying it is stuck on, I have tried all key combinations to make it go away.
It may just be my machine.

HOLD DOWN the shift key and then touch the Blue Dot key. Locks caps on and off alternately when you do it.
Once I managed to lock the numeric/special character keys on but can't find the combination again

I just checked the User Manual and it is all messed up with respect to Upper Case/Lower Case. I do not find that having the soft keyboard set to caps does anything on my device.

This happens to me a lot too. It happens when I press shift and then quickly another key (also only when the Athena is reacting slow already because of whatever it's doing in the background or so). For some reason it sees the other key as that pressed the shift key again. After that it doesn't swith off easily.
I find that it switches back off when I double press the Shift key and then a regular key. That one is still in caps, but then the caps is off.

This sounds like the same behavious I am getting (I am not dismissing the other posts here, but I am not new to XDAs and I know how to turn CL off under normal circumstances) - the 7500 simply keeps itself in CL even when you turn off on the keyboard. I also think it is when I am typing quickly (if that is really possible on this kb).
I'll try this solution next time it happens, but I am sure that this is a bug.

Doesn't work for me. Strangely I had Transcriber mode on (I write a lot) and trying to change back to keyboard doesn't work. There is something wrong with the input somewhere, a re-flash is required over the weekend I think.
I get CAPS-lock when I pres shift and then quickly just about any other key (double shift or a letter). Seems like it has to be timed just right and then it happens. The same combination will switch it back off again. Although again, it seems to need to be timed just right. I only get it once in a while.
Have you tried "dot" and then "shift" to switch the caps lock off again?
When using Xperia X1 on duty we get alarm calls that have to sign / stop by pressing the # button.
As the technician are allow to sleep it is a problem that we first have to unlock the phone, then activate the phone on screen keyboard and first then we are able to press #.
Is it possible to make a tweek that unlocks the phone and opens the screen keyboard when recieving a call, and if it can be done be recieving a call from one specific number it would be even better. ?
Kind regards.

Can´t you just use the hardware keybord "#" button?
As far as I remember, the "num" buttons are all active, without holding the blue button, when in a call.

I am having a similar issue with my prophet's keypad. It doesn't act reserve like yours but some of the buttons don't function at all. Center key, UP , Right keys aren't functioning. Anyway, i've disassembled the phone 5 times to solve this issue but it just doesn't work. I am sure that my keypad board is %100 functional.
For your problem, i can suggest to dissamble the phone and check if the keypad flex connector is well connected. If that doesn't help, your keypad board might need replacement.
Ok, so I got a HTC Snap which has installed the 3vo 3.50 OS. It worked fine, until today. After I disabled the silent profile, I went and change a few settings in the Power Managemenet. I changed the screen timeout and those kind of things. After few moments, i tried to write a message and it was like after few letters, or after a word it was automaticaly pressed enter. Also when i press the trackball, i don't need to press it to hard to be recognized, i'm barely touching it, and when i press the soft keys it's registered as a double input. For example, when i go start>message and when i press Menu it automaticaly selects "New". I don't know what to do, please help....
No one can help me?
