i have a problem with my htc touch sprint (cdma)..
upon soft reset, my device works perfectly
I can use all my hardware buttons, and pocketcm keyboard
after a dozen minutes or so, all of the hardware button (camera, talk, dpad, volume sliders) stop working except the end key and power button.
also, the space button and backspace and enter buttons for pocketcm keyboard stop working
could someone PLEASE help, i have no idea what is going on
this started happening after I hard-reset my phone and installed my apps onto the clean device, so the device should be working very well right now..
any help is appreciated!
thanks

I have the same problem. Mostly with the dpad.
It all depends on what you have done to the device, mainly apps & ROM changes. If it's this way stock, get a new device.
What apps have you installed before this happened, and which ROM do you have?

Hi, just curious to know if anyone has experienced their soft key just randomly stop functioning until a soft reset is performed? The soft keys from the today screen that open up Calendar and Contacts would just stop working all of a sudden usually when the phone is wakened back up from standby(pressing power quickly not turning it completely off). I would appreciate all feedbacks/assistance/solutions.
Regards,
Keith
sometimes my soft keys won't work using the buttons but work with screen tap. i think its after running some application i have but not narrowed it down to which one yet. May be PTvncHI (terminal client viewer)
Hi
Yes I have this problem.
Its ONLY on the today screen.
My buttons do not respond to a screen tap or the buttons themselves.
I only noticed this problem after installing VITO Button mapper.
I have since disaled this app and will remove it totally when the rom upgrade comes out but I don't want to do a hard reset just yet.

I have noticed this happen after I run TCPMP, once I soft reset and before I run TCPMP again, the soft buttons work just fine.
If you've mapped some hotkeys in TCPMP, they might not work in other applications...
I wish TCPMP would fix this !!!
Thanks for everyone's input, I did map the soft keys in TCPMP....so I unmapped the soft key buttons(TCPMP) and so far so good.

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.
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.

ok i have a mogul 6800 and have not used my hard buttons for some time now. the scroll wheel works, round nav. button and power button. nothing else works while normal use. but heres what i dont understand, i can still hard reset my phone, and also put it in bootloader mode. but under normal circumstances they do not work. can some one help. i have taken it completely apart to see if by some chance something come lose, but nothing. also have tried a stock rom, several custom roms,and still get the same out come. is there a hardware upgrade by chance that might restore button function .
anybody?
not even a little help? something?
Wish someone smarter than I could help us out on this because mine is doing the same exact thing.
At first, I thought maybe the chip that worked those buttons failed but they work...for some things?? An example is my camera button will not open the camera but when I hold it and the power button and press reset, it will go to bootloader. My softkeys do not select and start the assigned program but when I hold both softkeys and press reset, I will do a hard reset.
I have tried reflashing my DCD 3.2.6 ROM, as well as several other DCD ROMs and Ryan's ROMs but the problem persists.
My soft keys are acting weird. sometimes when i press the home button right after a boot, it captures screen, meaning the 'menu' soft key is depressed. However, after that the softkeys don't respond anymore.
Also, sometimes while powering on, the Galaxy boots up in 'safe mode', meaning again that the 'menu' button is depressed (the way to enter safe mode is by pressing the menu button with the power button).
I have checked the key map in the clockwork recovery which show the 'menu' & 'back' key responding only once before going dead.
During general operation, the softkeys don't work at all and i'm left with only the home button.
Since the keys respond once, i'm sure they're not broken. Seems like a software error. I have tried different kernels & 3 diff roms, but the situation is the same.
Any help to ascertain / solve the problem will be appreciated
Similar issue
I had a similar issue on a brand new phone, the soft keys would detect my finger from about 1cm away, so holding the phone and moving you grip would cause them to activate, eventually they would lock up until you locked the screen and tried again. It was totally a hardware issue, I replaced the phone used the same ROM and no issues.
the reason i'm convinced its not a hardware fault is that the keys 'blink' when i touch them which means they are registering touch. its got to be something else.
the Galaxy has got to be the most mysterious device ever!
Sounds like you ought to send it in for a replacement.
You can try a touchkey firmware update.
Make sure you're on your device's stock ROM otherwise you'll lose your touchkeys.
ENTER *#*#2663#*#* in the dialer. Then update the touchkey firmware and reboot.
You should be able to return to your other ROM after this.
