Hello, I don't mean by this title that some key are missing on my uni, I just mean that sometime, when pushin a, n, r and some other keys, it doesn't write anything, I have to push the key a bit more: Is everybody having this problem or my qtek is just being too old ? And in anyway, since it's begining to be really annoying, what's the best I can do, buy a bluetooth keyboard or something else (if there is) ?
Ofc, the warranty is expired.
Thanks for you help.
try taking it appart and cleaning the contacts
go to instructables.com there is a guide on how to fix buttons on a remote control, I would think the same fix would work on the buttons if cleaning does not work.
It's not the same for the uni, the buttons are not easy to separate, well, in fact it's easy but I'm near sure it would break it. Anyway, it seem I found a working fix, I just pushed once each button a bit strongly and I seem to not have this problem anymore...

Im using the 8125. Rom 2.xx
If i use the slide out keyboard, most of all the buttons are messed up.
if i press "i" it types ".i"
if i press "c" it types "ce"
if i press "g" it types "lg"
I basically cannot use the slide out keyboard at all. This was happening even when i was using the older ROM version.
I tried to use the keyboard remapper program AEKMap, that didnt work.
The SIP keyboard with the stylus works fine. I checked all registry entries and they all show up as US locale. The only thing i can think of is I use a magnetic phone holder, does anyone think that a magnet will screw up the keyboard ????? Any other suggestions???
sounds like that is a hardware malfunction, not software.
If you're under warranty, take it back.
If not, you're going to have to take it apart and see if you can find a loose ribbon cable some where.
Yeah, i figured its probably a hardware issue. I was just hoping someone had this problem before and fixed it without opening up or returning it.
I have had my 8125 for quite some time now and it has gone thru alot. My problem is that the call/answer key/button does not work as well as the call end button. Does anyone know of any apps that i could use as a sub. phone pad? I set my voice record button as my phone button but the is no talk icon in that phone pad. Any ideas would be great, thanks.
Can I get clarification please?
Your touch screen phone pad is not working...or your hardware button are not working?
If it's the former, it may be corrupted like mine was, just install a new pad (you can get some nice ones from zombienexxus)...at least doing that worked for me. The other thing you can try is to re-flash your rom. If it is the buttons on the device, I am not sure how to help you, other than asking if you are at all under warranty or have insurance on the device with which you can use to swap it out.
Sorry couldn't help more. Best of luck.
the hardware :-(
bad news for me. it is not the touchscreen, it is the actual psysical buttons on the phone. but in most new roms the dial pad only has certain buttons and lacks others. i just need a basic pad with the ability to hit the touch version of the call button, due to my physical button not working.
I'll give it another go ahead to find an alterative pad. thanks for the remomendation though.
It first started with the blue light blinking, even with the phone turned off. The only way to stop it from blinking was to remove the battery for about 10 seconds.
Then, everything I typed staarted to ddoublle letteers raandomlyy.
Now, it's acting like the down button is stuck. I can't do anything on the phone because its always scrolling down, beating out any other input.
I can live with the first two, but the third one has made the phone completely unusable. It's never been around water, never dropped, just randomly doing this crap. Any ideas on how to fix it? Hard reset does not work, new rom does not work, its a hardware issue.
Yes it is probably a hardware issue. Time for a phone swap
I'm actually out of warranty, so the only thing I can do it either switch to a different phone or try fixing this one. Have nothing to lose by opening it up, just wanted to see if anyone else has fixed it by cutting any wires or connections on the inside of the phone.
You don't have insurance

No phone insurance. Verizon completely screwed me on that phone purchase in more ways than one. By the time I figured that out it was to late.
TO bad I got mine added late. I just called the lady I bought the phone from and she added it.
Not sure about the blue-light.
I was able to fix my repeating-letters using the keyboard fix in this post:
For the constant-down input - it could either be the touchscreen digitizer or the hardware keyboard. YouTube has a series of videos on dismantling the Mogul - it may be worth some "exploratory surgery" to see what might be causing the problem (cookie crumbs, perhaps)...
Hope this helps. Good luck.
Htc mogul hardware button - issue
Dear XDA GURUS,
I am facing this very weird problem on my HTC MOGUL. All my Hardware button have stopped responding / Working. Please help me sort out this issue.
Waiting for your valued reply with solution.
Detail given on below link.
My HTC MOGUL HARDWARE Button Issue
Dear XDA GURUS,
yesterday i tried to do some RnD for this same problem. now the inputs. (Nothing technical)
* Even though my camera hardware button is not working, but, i can still enter the bootloader screen.
* Even though my both soft reset hardware button are not working, but, still i can do the hard reset.
This only means that, my buttons are working fine, but, according to my logic, they have lost there assignment.
After that i started searching web, if i can find a App / setting / hack / register setting, in which i can assign then there original key setting. So i found this on XDA forum as below.
Code:
[B]How to assign a shortcut to EndKey, SendKey, Power Button, PTT Button!![/B]
Hello
Since some of you guys asked about this , well there you go:
if you look inside the keyboard driver with a good disassembler (IDA Pro) you would see that you can create these link files :
Long_PTT.lnk (push to talk button+long press)
Long_End.lnk (the read key+long press)
Long_Send.lnk (the green key+long press)
Short_PTT.lnk (push to talk button)
Long_Power.lnk (Power button +long press)
Short_Power.lnk (Power button)
So basically all you need is to create these link files and put them in to windows folder. You can assign these keys to any shortcut you want .

ok now, certain things are clear. now anybody out there can help get this thing sorted out.
Waiting for concrete solution.
My Desire Z has been operational for 1.5yrs now and some problems started to show up with the soft keys (home, menu, back, search)
Every now and then, these 4 soft keys would stop working altogether (clicking them doesn't give any reaction or feedback) - for a while, and then work again like a charm.
With every time I unlock and use my phone, I get a 1-in-4 chance of having these keys working. They can even die off on me while using them.
Other than that, my entire touch screen functions are doing fine, including the bottom-most areas.
Please let me know what are the possible problems, whether it's software or hardware and how to fix it?
You're not alone man, I too am suffering from this problem. I was this close of having to send my phone to htc and have them fix it but after checking i realized my phone's no longer under warranty. It just started working again this morning and then everytime I'd reboot, the chances of having them working are second to none, it's like a hit or miss. I don't know if it's a glitch, fluke or the hardware might be waring off or something. Let me know if you find a solution, which im guessing you might have to replace the digitizer.
Unfortunately yeah, you might need to replace some hardware. In the meantime, or even instead of doing that, you could remap some of your hardware buttons to cover those functions..... I used the Button Remapper to make my quick keys do Home, Back and Menu... it works great on the G2. Not as good as having your soft keys working again perhaps, but it's an idea. Also, it does require root access.
Here is the Button Remapper app thread:

I was considering ordering and replacing digitizer myself, but it's too difficult for me. Guess this oughta be a hardware problem.
I've found a solution to work around it, using SoftKeys app (requires root). It will open up a floating soft keys (home, back etc) to substitute the main ones.
If there's a way to map a trackpad with the "home" function, that'd be best. Can Button Remapper do that, or any other app?
I just got my Tytn working again (needed a new battery nothing major) and noticed that the function button on the keyboard doesn't work. Every other key/button on the keyboard and device is working fine but that one isn't responding. I've hard reset but that hasn't fixed the problem.
It's not like the device is unusable without it but it would be much more convenient to be able to access symbols without opening the software keyboard.
Could anyone point me in the direction of a fix for this issue. I've searched but all the topics relating to the button seem to assume that the button is doing something in the first place. Is it likely to be a hardware issue when all the other keys are working?
Anyway thanks for the help
Dan
