Front buttons not working after rom update - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Hi
Since upgrading my rom I cant get the from buttons to work, I have read a few websites but seem to be stuck, anybody got any clear instructions on what to do?
Cheers

anyone know what to do?

I have the same problem. I opened it and cleaned the contacts of the front buttons but the major think i could do is have it working fine for about a week then the same problem showed up.

What rom, Does your screen go white? Did you hard SPL your Hermes so you can easily change your rom?
We need information to help. All you're saying is you have a problem. Could be hardware or could be software. There is no need to open your Hermes if the problem is in the rom and no point reflashing an OS if the hardware is faulty.
So saying, if your keys were working before you flashed I'd either reflash the OS or try a different one.
If your hardware was playing up then it may be you need to open up and reseat a connection to make sure there is no corrosion affecting it or the connection is not loose because of a drop.
Cheers...

cant enable wireless.

Hi i cant seem to enable the vireless netowrk on my i-mate jasjar. It worked in the beginning but now it just blinks realy fast when i press the button to enable it.
The only thing i can think of is that i installed the extended rom thing from buzz...it was that cab file i found in the comments on his site.
pls can anybody help me with this?
Please help me ppl. I tryed reverting the settings for the extended rom and that did not help eather.
Please i really need som help here guys
I had my wifi stop working at one point for unknown reasons. Soft resetting didn't fix the problem. It did start working again after a hard reset. It was not doing any fast blink like you describe, so it may be that whatever your problem is has no relation to whatever my problem was. I don't know if you have tried hard reset, but in any event I'm hoping one of the wizards here will have better advice for you.
Hehe by fast blinking i mean when i press the "wifi" button in the wireless manager. It just blinks breafly to indicate that i pressed it..but it does not turn blue like its suposed to and it does not turn wifi on like its suposed to.
Had hoped i wouldnt have to do a hard reset as i have my device set up just perfectly now
So if anybody has some tips here ill try anything.
btw what is sddeamon? i had sevreral of thouse in the notification que and i remoced all but one. could this be the problem?
OK, now I know what you mean, and unfortunately my problem was different. It would presumably turn on (button would change color) but not connect with anything, including access point that was no problem before. And sorry again since I don't know what that sddaemon thing is for sure. It might be related to the voice dial function, but I'm really not sure. Hard reset is definitely a pain. I've made a little cheat sheet for myself with all my tweaks to get things set up again. But it's a pain anyway. Part of the cost of being on the bleeding edge with these wonderful little machines.
so true so true. But since it seems that nobody else has this problem im a bit afraid that there might be a hardware problem.
Well only way to fighure it out is to do a hard reset!. Is there any way to back up WM5 like there was in 2003?
well i have now preformed a hard reset and that did not work. I also installed the imate rom twice (installed arabic first LOL) and that did not good eather.
So i guess there is a hardware issue with the phone itself...
Any thoughts?

Hadware Buttons Not Responsive

Hi all
I bought a JasJam about an year ago, and it has been working fine.
About 5 weeks ago, I flashed it with HardSPL 7, Radio 1.50 and Schap's 3.60a.
It worked fine till yesterday when suddenly following buttons stopped working: IE, Messaging, Left & right soft keys, start, ok, green & red buttons. Rest of the buttons, keyboard etc are fine. There was no impact, no "sudden movements". The buttons just stopped working! I mean, one minute they were fine and the next minute, they were screwed.
I have done following to fix this (in order)
1. Soft reset
2. Hard reset (which shows that there is no problem with the hardware)
3. Flashing with Schap's ROM again
4. Flashing with 3des ROM
5. Flashing with Sleuth's ROM
6. Flashing with Cingular (WM5)
And still, no use! Buttons still don't work.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Does the silence says: You have to live with it.
???
More Updates :s
Now I am not able to delete anything I type. :s Not even while using the onscreen keyboard! I can see that when i tap on the backspace button, it highlights, but the text doesn't get deleted! I have tried this in almost any place which allows you to enter text. :s
I think I will go back to my original shipped ROM and bootloader. :S
Strange stuff happening! Downgrading to olipro 1.10 has solved the backspace problem. How can a bootloader affect a function like that? :s
Back to shipped bootloader and ROM (not the radio) Still the buttons are not functional.
I also opened up the phone and cleaned the buttons, made sure all connections are properly in place. Put everything back together, and no, the buttons don't work.
What do I do?
I have tried a thousand other bootloaders, radios and ROMs... But these buttons wouldn't work?
Where are the geniuses like oli?
I have the exact same issue.. I have pretty much tried all SPL/Radio/ROM/App combinations, including the 1.01 IPL, original SPL, and WM5 that ships on the Tytn from HTC... And, just like you, the keys sometimes work, and then suddenly they stop. Restart or hard-reset seldom brings them back. I know it's not hardware issue because holding down the "-" and "-" keys while resetting always works. I also observe the LEDs on the front panel go all whacky. Sometimes the power LED, which normally blinks on battey power turns on and stays that way; sometimes it doesn't come on at all.
My guy feeling is that this is not ROM related, and somewhere along the line while I was enjoying the "flash-o-palooza", something got corrupted in the flash memory.
I am now looking for a method to do a "harder-reset" that will clean out the whole thing, reflash the bootloader and build it from scratch.
I think the buttons are not properly passing interrept requests to the OS, which as you correctly mentioned is a flash memory / bios problem. (I don't know a lot about hermes architecture)
HTC provides a diagnostic sd card in which you can check if the buttons work fine. I will try to get my hands on one of those.
Did you try going back to Wm5?

Yep.. Many times.
any luck with this? can u get to bootloader mode with the keys?
not believing that it would be hardware problem, I disassembled already some times my TyTn and I did not have sucess. If someone have sucess, post here please
the only obvious thing is that the keybddr.dll driver is not be loaded properly. how do u normally load the rom's? do u let the software boot the phone, or do you put it in bootloader mode first?
as I use a Windows Vista, the ROM upgrader have to be done in the Bootloader Mode
But, Sometimes the buttons works, and in next minute, they die again
its a misterious
Hardware buttons also not working
I am also experiecing this problem. Occasionally the hardware buttons will work, then if I open the slider they stop working. I have also tried updating firmware etc.. but it hasn't helped. The buttons will work if i press the left and right keys while pressing the reset key to do a hard reset. They work every time doing this, so it seems like a software problem. But I don't understand how a s/w problem like this can remain there even after firmware update and hard resets.
I have opened the phone up several times, because I have another problem, or two. As much as I love the phone it has been totally unreliable. It shipped with the LCD not working, I diagnosed that as a faulty ribbon cable, which I replaced, that made the LCD work. But then the earpiece speaker and the front camera didn't work. Now this problem... this is starting to drive me crazy.......
Hi, I have the same problem, I think. Sometimes when I play games, browse the phone or slide down the keybord the buttons below the screen just stop working. I have also tried to flash different roms, but to no good. There is a temp fix thou but it work slow sometimes, if I scroll with the wheel for a bit(the scroll time varies) the button seem to work, but only for a little while.
Does anyone have any news on this issue, cause i can't use any program that need these buttons.
I also have this problem, I guess I'll have to send it in to get it fixed :|
Problem Solved
I have managed to resolve the problem. It started compounding which made me think that it had to be a hardware problem. The first symptoms were that the front bottom hardware keys stopped working. Then the LCD would not align properly after sliding the keyboard, so I would have a white bar at the top and/or left of the screen.
Next the top hardware buttons stopped working, and then finally all I had was a white screen with nothing on it.
I replaced the flex cable that connects the front of the phone to the main board and it has solved all of my problems. I had already replaced this cable when I first got the phone because the one that came was with it was faulty. Now after just a few months of use the replacement one wore out as well. It seems to be the weak link in the build of these phones.

I don’t think you got the same problem as us, if you check almost all the other button problem threads they are about the white screen but since we in this thread have not gotten any white screens or some of the other symptoms I'm quite sure it’s not the same. Also some with our problem have tried to change the flex cable but it has not fixed the problem.
*edit - I did not put the angry smiley on this post.
Me too!Anybody can soleve it?I found that when they aren't woring,we can touch on screen or press ok button on the left once or twice,they work again!

Up button

Hi i wonder if someone could help me my up button on the joypad has stopped working. Anyone else had this and is there a way to fix it?
Thanks
Stephen
All my buttons on the left hand side of my Trinity stopped working .....I had to send it away to HTC - it was still under warranty.
I also have this problem. But unfortunately I have a custom Rom on it. So I can't send it for warranty..
Does someone has an solution for those who can't send it under warranty?
I have a custom rom and I think the problem is a software rather than hardware issue. Another manifestation seems to be the that the buttone repeating.
S
The big problem is that in our pockets there is so much dust...and goes into the keys contacts.
Solved with the "disassemble guide":http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311463
After arrived to the keyboard you must detach the transparent film and clean the metal circles.
thanks andrea,
I thought the problem was related to the rom rather than the actual button, I take it you had the same problem.

why not flash ur trinity into official ROM ? then send it back to the HTC ?
that is the easy way to repair ur trinity i guess
Thanks,
I flashed back and returned the last time. As this is the second time I have had the same problem I started to wonder if it could have been a rom rather than hardware issue.
Thanks

I too have a problem with the green calling button- I've to press it very hard to get it work. I'll probably disassemble & clean the keypad pcb & then check if it works.

Front Buttons problem

Hello all, I'm having a problem with my hermes. The buttons from the front (internet explorer, mail, windows phone and so on...) don't seem to work anymore. besides that, when i press power button to turn off the screen, the back light from the phone buttons is still on. I thought it may be a windows problem considering the fact that at the beginning they were working sometimes. After changing windows the problem persists.
has anyone any idea about this?
Sorry if I'm hijacking.... I'm having the same problem. I pulled it apart and checked/reset all of the connectors and still nothing. After a brief moment of pondering I realized it started happening after I had done a sync with my desktop. So I'm thinking that a file got corrupted. I REALLY dont want to have to do a hard reset and reinstall all my programs. Anyone know how I can load just the files that contain the controls?
and yes I checked the other thread but I dont have the white screen, yes I tried the fix anyway, no it didnt work. I'm pretty sure its a software issue. Someone please help us...
Okay, I did a hard reset and still no joy. So I'm guessing this is a hardware issue? Any suggestions?

Not Unlock after StandBy

Hi All, I have a problem with my HD2 I Update the radio to 2.15.50.4 and when I want to unlock the screen the touch do not respond, i back the radio 2.12.50.2 and the same thing not unlock, anyone Know what is the problem, sorry for my english and Thaks to all.
I change the Rom Too and the same thing, for reference.
Try turning it on with the green button instead of the red one. Mine was doing this, had to send it in, it's a hardware problem between the buttons and the digitizer. Needs to be replaced if it's the same problem. Seems somewhat common. Even flashing back to full stock didn't fix it, it was definitely a hardware issue for me. If you're changing roms, and it's still happening, that doesn't sound good.
Sorry for the bad news, it sucks.
Thanks Willr001, Look similar to your problem and it's the same thing, with the rest of the buttons don't have the problem, how much cost to you to fix the problem??? and thaks for your answer, thanks to you now can unlock my cell, with problem but can unlock.
I don't get how it could be the buttons if you're able to get in to MAGLDR using the power button?
The problem will keep getting worse, I think it will next stop working with the green button, mine took like 4 days from the time the red button stopped working to the green button stopping.
The red button still works fine, it just makes it so the touch screen doesn't work, so MAGLDR would still work fine.
I don't know how much it costs to fix, I'm not sure if it's the buttons, screen, or motherboard that needs to get replaced. Mine was under warranty, so they fixed for free.
HTC knows it's a defect, if you're under warranty, their service center may do it for free.
Thanks for the answer, yea the i can go MagLDR with the red button, and unlock with any other button exept the red, I will verify if si still in warranty for make the same that you, by the way do you think the posibility of change to WM 6.5 to look if the problem remain in that Rom?
You could try, when it happened to me I flashed another WM6 rom, still happened, so then I flashed the original Stock T-Mobile/HTC rom. When it still happened there, I knew it was broke. Made it easy to send back though, because I'd put the stock rom on (warranty people like to see stock roms).
i can't see this is cause by hardware failure. It seems to be a hardware buttons mapping problem so its mean just the software.
I think too that is software problem because I don't need to prees the button to block the screen, only with touch on the button without press is enought to stop function the screen, but i don't have warranty Yet, so I try to solve this for my own, I apreciate all help that you can give me.
i9m having the same problem, i fixed permission and then all buttons wont work. ill try to reinstall the rom and see if the problem will be resolved. im so depressed right now.
