My D-pad doesnt work - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General

Hi.
My D-pad wont work after I charge my Dopod.
I've try to push and press the navi button many times. It works, but it goes crazy as I'm scrolling a list quickly (it wont stop going up the list if I press Up button on the D-pad)
Hope to hear some solution. I love my Dopod
Dopod 838 pro - WM 6
Thank you.

This is not a common problem I see recurring so I suggest you are having a hardware problem which means that you probably have to send it for repair. You could try flashing a new ROM to see if the problems improve.

Magician X-Files :: some buttons don't work/respond

T-Mobile MDA Compact
T-Mobile ROM
R 1.12.00
G1337.42
D 1.13.00 WWE
Quirky prob. The directional buttons, center button, and the contacts button all don't work at all. Odd. I opened the casing with the 'bad sound' tutorial as a guide, cleaned the contacts, no effect.
Strangely enough, the call and end call buttons weren't working either till who the heck knows what I did. Now thery work perfectly.
I mean honestly, this is some supernatural behavior. Tempermental hardware buttons? I need Scully on the scene now.
I can work around it, but can think of other things I'd rather do... like use the phone normally.
Not expecting much, given the strangeness factor(tm) but any help much appreciated.
did you use TCPMP?
i've had same problem after this player.
No TCPMP, or atleast...
Not that I know of, unless it's gets installed by default in the extended rom.
Here's another strange bit of behavior. Every 5 mintues or so, the 'contacts' button gets 'virtually' pressed twice. Whatever is assigned. Even though tHe button itself doesn't seem to work
Furthermore still, after the phone comes back from standby, the call and end call buttons don't work until I press another button first. Then they work fine.
So farm the directional pad doesn't respond to anything, neither one in the middle.
I don't know whether it's a hardware prob or software at this point.
Phone has both wwe and radio 1.13 and all the extended t-mobile apps intalled.

Some hardware buttons won't work!

This is my first post and I must say that this is a great group of people who know what they are talking about!
Anyways, I have had my 8525 for about two weeks and I am loving it. For whatever reason some of my buttons do not work! The dpad works but the two soft buttons, the start button, ok button, email, PIE, and the green and red buttons don't work. The power, scroller, comm manager, the left ok button and the PTT all DO work. I did a hard reset hoping that would fix it but no luck. I been installing and trying a lot of programs but I thought after the hard reset that any program that screwed this up would be gone. Please help I love this phone and really don't want to take it back.
Thanks,
Dan
I took it back and that solved all of my problems.
you took back , what?

My hermes has a similar problem, buttons under the screen sometimes won't work, but if I turn off backlight and turn on, it works... but not very well because if I press green button then red button continually, buttons don't work again after few pressions....
I have changed my ROM but it's the same, it isn't a hardware problem because if I turn the scroll it works again...
This problem is known?
Thank you very muche for your help and sorry for my bad english.
same issue with my TyTN...
Same issue here with Tytn, buttons won't work but if I use scroll button a bit then buttons work again.
Hey guys,
Exactly the same problem here and it's infuriating when I'm trying to make calls on the run and sometimes I can't even pick up calls.
I have an I-mate Jasjam ROM 1.31.305.2.
If anyone has any fixes or solutions that would be great. Or do I have to send it in for repair or something?
So has anyone managed to fix this? Anyone tried a hard reset?
I have no idea how to diagnose the issue and even whether it's a software or hardware fault.
Jasjam- Same here
Also my screen turnes white some times

I'm also having these problems with the front buttons not working. Very frustrating. The problems seem to be platform independent.
I really cannot believe this. When I used the search function I noticed so many people are having these problems with the TyTN, and no resolve.
It's my second machine I received from HTC, first one also had these problems.
HTC sucks BIGTIME.

TomTom minimizes everything when device wakes up

Greetings all, Wonder if anyone can help on this one.. we supply mobiles (Orange M600, O2 Orbit and HTC 3300 currently) with our delivery driver software on , this software interfaces with TomTom (currently 6.030) to route drivers to destinations , when the unit goes into suspend/sleep mode (ie the power button is pressed) and then woken up (power pressed again) tomtom minimizes itself and anything else thats running at the time ie our software, anyone know how to stop tomtom from minimizing or how to stop it from taking everything else with it - contacted tomtom support who are (unsurprisingly) a waste of time.
I think tomtom minimises itself by design when you press a softkey or power. for instance whilst navigating if I want to check my email I hit end call and it brings to today screen up.
only thing I can think of trying is in today settings switching off today timeout.
don't think buttons are configurable in tomtom.
hope this helps.
thanx 4 the response - unfortunately this won't sort it - the users will inevitabley press the powerbutton when using the device and this just minimizes everything when power is turned back on - if tomtom isn't running at this point there is no problem.

end call button

I've search through:
Gaijin Guide for x01HT
Video Call Button
Hermes Wiki
A bunch of searches have come up empty.
Softbank x01HT
Using Pays Rom WM6.1
or K's Pro rom
Call Button OK.
The Video Button and End Call button however do not work (screen menus work fine)
Any suggestions?

Buttons not working
If a button stops working, yet you know the functionality still works, then I'd suggest a battery reset. Simply remove the battery from your 8525 (must be completely out) for about 15-20 seconds, place it back into your 8525 and turn it on.
I had to do this back when I had iPAQs and Dell Axims, and have to do it with my 8525 from time-to-time when my camera button stops working. This performs a hardware reset. As long as your battery is in your 8525, there is essentially power flowing within the 8525, even though you have the screen turned off. By doing this, you're allowing all power to drain from the 8525's circuit cards/boards and performing a hardware reset (whereas using the stylus only gives you a software reset).
I hope this helps you!
Thanks. No dice (sorry for late reply).
Changing the os to AT&T clears up the call / end button. The moment I load a homebrew like pays, TnT ... The call/end/video buttons stop.
Very Odd.

End Call key and wierd start menu

I admit defeat, I've serached and searched for both these issues so forgive me if they are stupid questions
First daft question, how does the end call key work? the actual hard button, not the one on the screen. I know it works because if I press it while in the control panel it'll beep and drop back to the today screen but try as I might when I have the phone app up it just will not end a call..... Whats it for if it doesn't do that?
The reason I need to know is my case has a hard cover for the screen so without opening the case I cant press "end" on the touchscreen.
Second daft question, sometimes when typing on the keypad (any of them) sometimes the startmenu pops up and I end up opening an app instead of pressing a key. So annoying when it happens LOL
I've tried loads of WM6.1 roms to resolve the problems but generally find something that doesn't work and am finding that WM5 (The original Orange UK ROM) is more stable and certainly quicker but nothing I do resolves these two problems.......
Oh and while I'm here, does anybody know which is the best threaded SMS thingy for WM5? loved that feature on 6.1
Thanks in advance for your time guys
Tim
Hello. I also have teh problem with teh start menu wich pops up when I touch the screen. Sometimes it happens more often, sometimes no. Anyone knows what might be the problem?
