My problem is that my back button has stoped working. It is a pretty important button to have and I used it a lot. Is there a way to get this fixed? I have opened my phone and the little sticker over the T6 screw is removed so does that mean its voided? My other option would be to change the action of the home button to be the action of the back button. If that is even possible how would I do that? Thanks for any help.

When I leave my Jasjar running for a few minutes without touching it, the screen goes black and the only way to bring it back is to press the power button... but I would like to be able to press the keyboard buttons or touch the screen to bring it back... any ideas ?
and yes, "Do not lock buttons" has been checked in the Lock tab of the Buttons settings...
Any ideas greatly appreciated !
If you press that stupid 'Backlight' button it comes back on too!
Although thats pretty useless too! :roll:
Whenever I put my hermes into a desk or car cradle, none of my soft keys function. This includes the red and green call buttons. If I pull the phone out of the cradle, they work again.
I pondered over this problem for weeks and then it dawned on me; the dam camera button was being permanently pressed down by the cradle. The camera program never loaded because I have long since disabled that function since I was always hitting it by accident.
So, is there anyway to permanently disable the camera button? Has anyone found a cradle that doesn't affect the camera button?
go to settings, personel, buttons and then select the camera button. select no function for it. this should get rid of the pesky little problem.

As I said in my post, I've already done that.
I just bought a used hd2 yesterday, and it came with magldr with ultimate droid rom 3.3. I found out that none of the physical button acts as a Menu and Back button which makes navigation and menu access very hard. I even changed roms but still same thingn
My question is, is hd2 don't map physical keys as menu and back? Or is my unit actually defective? All the buttons work though, only that the Window and Home button does the same thing while Back and End button turns off the screen.
Thanks in advance!
Update: I have manage to get the menu (window) button working, but the back button is more trickier.. it seems thatt the physical button is actually pressing other keys.. in this case when I pressed the Window button for menu.. it will actually press the Home button which will bring me back to home screen. And for the back button, its actually pressing the End button, although I did manage to get it to press its back button, but its quite difficult. Does anyone knows how to fix this?
reply back button
I think that u may have a faulty back button or that dirt got under it thefe are guides on here xda that show u how to fix back button etc but it requires you taking phone apart and you need to read guides totally and follow steps there are also guides on youtube as well. It also sounds that the buttons might have been remapped there is an app called button remapper that allows you to change what the physical buttons do like the phone button back button etc do in other words you can change what every physical button on your hd2 does like for example the volume keys you would be able to change to back button etc. Read about button remapper on google before attempting to use app hope this helps you.
That's a common issue in the HD2, probably your device is defective.
Don't bother with the warranty, replacement and all that stuff since the back and menu aren't required for flashing or entering bootloader mode.
Just download "zMooth" app from market. (Pro version will give you End & Search)
I would prefer fixing the physical keys as they are important functions that is required in order to navigate around. Any links to how to fix the buttons? I think they are just misaligned because of prolong usage. Because multiple tries proves that it can still work.
Update: I have seen the official tutorial video for disassmbling the HD2, to just replace the keypad flex ribbon requires one to go very deep inside the phone before you can actually access the flex ribbon for the keypad. Now i am thinking twice to repair the physical button, let alone give an unofficial service guy to replace it.

I have installed zMooth, nice app.. but take some time getting used to. thanks!
or you can try a cm7 rom and use the tablet tweak soft keys in the options.
u can use button savior to replace all buttons .. it's a must have for me ..
Does anyone know if physical button problem such as mine are caused by the wear and tear of the flex cable or is it because of the plastic buttons itself?
I replaced the digitezer and the back button (and sometimes the menu button, but mostly the back button) keeps pressing itself.
I get the heptic feedback as if I pressed the button, but I never did.
I took another look at my installation and everything looks good. I added some electric tape between the cables for the back and menu buttons to prevent shorting, I run a factory reset on the phone but the issue remains.
Does anyone know how to fix it?

Hello!
I damaged my recent app button's sensor cable while replacing my screen. Afterwards I ordered a new usb board, but interestingly that didn't solve my issue, so I assumed that something else got damaged on my mainboard. Anyway I closed up my phone and glued the screen in place without a working button.
Can anyone help me with remapping my home button so that a double or long press would open my recent apps?
Thank you all in advance!
just use the tool that puts the buttons on screen
tasker's "assistance request" trigger can be tied to long-press-home so you can use it for all kinds of stuff.
for me it opens the dialer.
