I have that problem when I add a 3rd party task manager. I use WK Task. Have you added any software lately ?
Skyfire makes start button stop working.
I detected this problem when Skyfire 1.5 was running. I close Skyfire and the button works again.

wtf?! They all worked fine an hour ago (power, camera, talk, softkeys, messages...) and now they don't. It isn't a hardware issue because when it goes into standby, I can press the power button to bring it out of standby. Now though, I can't open anything using their respective keys and can't power it off. Anyone have any issues like this? I hadn't installed anything or even been using the phone from the time they worked to the time they stoped working.
Try opening settings -> buttons ->lock and click in "dont lock keys"
Had similar problems that now for some reason went away.

Unfortunately, I tried that and it didn't fix it. It's so odd that the Comm Manager button works when the phone is on and that the power button will work to turn it on or to wake it up. Are there places in the registry that control what the buttons do? Maybe I need to reset this thing? I love this phone when it isn't locking or acting up.
So I reset the phone to it's factory settings. After I went through the calibration and setup, the keys still weren't working. Before I did the reset, I did notice the keyboard keys weren't working either . So after the reset, the buttons still weren't working. I kept just typing stuff in on the keyboard with Word open and it finally started working...all buttons are still working now, but I don't trust it much. Should I bring it in to Cingular to get a new one? I'm still within my 30 days
Yes. If you can get a new one do it. do it.
Hi All,
I have a strange problem, tried to search the forum,
without success...
Sometimes the OK button doesn't response (both OK buttons...),
only clicking OK on the screen works.
another issue - sometimes when clicking the action button nothing happens, or even worse - it acts like a long press even when I press it really shortly...
Any one else had such problems?
Is it (as I guess) a hardware problem?
I have the same problem and I dont think its the hardware cause the button is not presented in "buttonmapping" in the controlpanel. This has worked before. Please respond if you solve the problem.
Mine does it on occasion. Pretty sure it's software and It seems to happen with the same apps each time. Make note of what apps you have running when it happens.
Just started doing it again but I realized that I have never had a prob with the OK or Start Menu buttons but rather the softkeys. In Today Agenda, the left key (edit) stopped working and then a few minutes later the right key (menu) stopped working. I closed all apps and the problem persisted with every appointment I opened. Soft reset fixed it.
I should also add that I am not using the latest version of Today Agenda because I have not figured out how to make it look like the version I am used to.
Might be related: a lot of games I have tried don't seem to support the softbuttons, phone buttons, or really much else besides the directional pad and center select button.
I am having a very strange issue...
My phone keeps making click sounds and open and closes the start menu randomly without control like crazy!!!
Nothing is pressing the buttons so this can not be the case.
It stops on its own and then suddenly starts clicking and opening the start menu.
I tried to restore to the last known backup db (spb backup) but it didn't help.
Any idea if this is a hardware or software problem and how to fix it?
Many thanks,
Eldi

it's a hardware problem, you'll have to get it serviced from HTC
Try landscape mode
Seriously, it sounds like a hardware issue if you took the case off and it still doesn't work. I had the same problem with other devices and it was due to the screen protector under the case putting pressure on the screen.
Hi!
I've been looking through the forum but not found a solution to this problem.
( maybe I suck at searching =) )
Problem:
Sometimes when I press the x-panel button the phone freezes, it takes no input after that.
The only way I can fix it is by resetting it by pressing the button where the battery lies.
Any1 who has a solution to this problem or is it unheard of?
I'm using the newest swedish ROM and have TF3D beta 2 installed.
Get used to it~ I have the same issue and I guess that's normal~
This has only happened to me when S2P is installed (opengl version).
This also happens when you have tf3d installed in the main panel.
Solution: installed into a stand alone panel.
Press the left menu button
Hi,
I sometimes have the same issue and I also did thought my x1 had freezed. However if I press the left menu button it 'returns' to the first panel and everything responses as normal.
Hope this helps you.
I too seem to have this problem on occasion. I just attribute it to WinMo... go Microsuck!
Well a few days ago I went on a barrage and installed a bunch of apps like Gyrator 2, SensorLock, LevelSight, HTC Home, Ultimate Launch, HomeScreen ++.
I also coincidentally noticed two problems now First is when the device is on and I press the power, it doesn't turn the device off! Second is the HD is supposed to be able to detect the status of the stylus so when you pull it out in a call it opens the notes application. I also checked with Gyrator 2 which shows what the system reads for the stylus status and it no longer detects whether the stylus is in or not!
I'm going to try to uninstall each app one by one... but do any of you know whether there might be some other problem?? Or if someone's experienced the same thing, what are some recommendations to remedy this issue?
Each day of using the HD more and more problems keep popping up... I didn't drop $900 on this phone for nothing ><"
Do you also have problems with the volume buttons? If so, then perhaps your keypad service isn't running. You can check this with task manager v3.1

Ahh nifty the volume buttons don't work. Now how to turn this back on... hrmmm... time to poke around.
I had this problem when using MobileMagic for auto rotation using the G-Sensor. Uninstalling this fixed the problem. I now use ChangeScreen and find that this works better for me.
Hope this helps.
cardefbel was right it was the keypad service, I must've turned it off while messing around in the registry, should be more careful next time...
Turned it back on and everything works fine now. Thanks!
