Disable side wheel/up=down buttons - P3600 General

My P3600 (Orange SPV M700) is getting on a bit, so I'm trying to keep it alive.
My phone frequently starts scrolling up for no reason at all. As if I am scrolling up ridiculously fast on the scroll wheel or holding the 'up' directional button. I think in the past it has also scrolled down, but I'm not certain. Simply doing a small jog on the wheel (and less reliably, pressing up or down on the d-pad) will momentarily stop the scrolling.
This makes the phone virtually unusable at times, and the problem has been getting worse. I have done a hard reset and it made no difference - I have also opened the phone completely and thoroughly cleaned it - still no change.
I use the touch screen for virtually everything, so will happily disable up/down buttons or scroll wheel (or both if required!).
Can you please tell me how I might be able to do this?
The solution proposed in post six of forum thread 581927 (it won't let me post links here coz I'm newish) does not work for the P3600
Many thanks

same problem

M3100 button+Dpad combo not working in games, screen becomes washed out at times.

Hi Guys,
I am having a couple of issues with my M3100 Hermes100 device. I searched the forum but didn't find anything on these two:
1. When pressing the D-pad (left, right) in games, any other key won't be read as still being pressed.
Ex: I start K-Rally, push hardware1 button for acceleration, and at the first press of D-pad left or right, the car stops (as the acceleration would have been released) and I have to release and press HW1 again to accelerate. It's like after I press D-pad the HW1 is not pressed any more.
I tried the default configuration first, and then I reconfigured the acceleration to each button, one at a time. Combined with D-pad for steering, it always happens like above .
- this happens in other games too (GTS Racing, Hellfire)
- this does not happen if I use the directional keys on the hardware keyboard (which are also read as 'left' and 'right' by the games).
- this does not happen if, in K-Rally for example, I use the 'auto acceleration' option (so the car accelerates by itself, no keypress needed).
2. Rarely (let's say, once per week) the screen suddenly becomes washed out (almost white), with a few garbled lines over its normal content, which is barely visible.
I tried to take a few pics of the screen but the contrast is so low that I've got just a white / grey screen in the pics.
The phone continues to react normally to keypresses.
The issue does not disappear if I extend/fold the keyboard. But it is solved by a suspend/wake up cycle, so there's no need for even a soft reset.
As the issue rarely appears, I couldn't figure out (yet) if it could be caused by any software operation or by a keyboard flip or other movement.
Device details:
S/N HT646
WM 5.1.195 Build 14955.2.3.0 (AKU 2.3)
Operator version: 14.123.10.702
ROM version: 1.23.70.2
Radio version: 1.06.04.00
I had PQZii and AEButton 2.5 installed and then uninstalled, still having same issues.
Please let me know if you experienced something like above, and how / if you solved these.

I just found a few reports on the D-pad issue, no solution though:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=275710 (not exactly, but close)
http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2006/08/27/orange_spv_m3100_bug_identified
I can see now that the TyTN D-pad issue is quite old and was previously reported in a couple of different bug lists.
This is a pity as some games would be unplayable .
If anyone finds a solution / fix for this, please post it here too. Thanks!

Cingular 8525 Scroll Wheel Mystery

Hi all,
Long time lurker, first time poster. I have enjoyed my 8125 and when I upgraded to the 8525, I ritualistically came here for all the answers. However, there is one issue that I have experienced that is not echoed by anyone else.
I have ROM version 1.34.502.1 and have the following apps installed:
Eten Dialer
Phonealarm
PQzII
TomTom 6 Navigator
TCPMP
Google Maps
Live Search
The problem is that when I freshly boot the phone and place a call, I can manipulate the in-call volume via the scroll wheel. Up, down, no problem. However, when I exit out of the dialer screen and return to it a few hour later, I find that I can no longer turn the in-call volume down via the scroll wheel--only up works.
If anyone can shed some light on this matter, I sure would appreciate it.
Thank you!
Anyone have any insights into this matter?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Not much help, but just an observation. The behaviour shown by your scroll volume is certainly not normal. I tested this out on mine. What I did notice was that there is some lag in the response of the scroll volume - so long in fact that it can appear to be non-responsive. It seems the device "remembers" the number of clicks up and keeps trying to raise the volume even though its at maximum. So even if I then scroll down it can take a few seconds for it to complete trying to raise the volume before it begins trying to respond to my down scroll. In fact this behaviour can make it appear as if when scrolling down it actually is raising the volume - but I think this is only due to laggy behaviour in my case?

I found that the E-Ten dialer disabled my scroll wheel short-cut to call history and quick dial. When I removed it these functions came back. Shame, I like the big buttons.
Mike
Thank you guys for your responses. It wasn't a huge annoyance for me. I just don't like it when functionality just evaporates away from my phone inexplicably. Hopefully, it can be resolved somehow? I will look for further responses.
Thank you all in advance.
It's the PQzII that disable the in-call volume adjustment. But my version is: "down" -> turn in-call volume down, "up" -> switch to today.

PQz version up
Hi all,
I uploaded new PQzII.exe for Hermes.

*) Jog wheel (Volume Down) bug fix while calling.
Please try it and let me know if you find any trouble.
cheers,
tom
*)Edit
if you use "0x76" as any function. It has been changed to "0xAA".
There are some Hermes devices as like DoCoMo hTcZ/Softbank X01HT have "MOJI" button.
The button outputs "0x76" but it could be a cause of Jog wheel problem while calling.
as for me, I used 0x76 key code for IME on/off. and changed to "0xAA".
if you don't use 0x76 you don't need to care about this.
cheers,
tom

Problem: Down directional button not working

Hi XDA.
One day my "down directional button" stoped working correctly. When pressed nothing happens, however the up, left and right buttons work as do all the other buttons and functions on the wizard.
And sometimes the wizard thinks the down button is pressed so it starts scrolling down even though the button isn't pressed.
I have reflashed a few times and dissasembled the whole wizard with no visible errors.
Does anyone have any idea to what i can do to get it to work again? Please help me as it is now blocking incomming calls and does other crap.
Hi Mate
I have the same situation but on the right key. Upto now didn't find any solution. Driving me nuts. When I receive an sms late at night it ends up wasting all the battery . . . .
Hope someone comes up with a solution.
The lcd/digitalizer, mail/internet/led/speaker-board and yes/no/softkeys/d-pad/enter-board are all leaded together. so one can't just change one of the parts in the top sliding half of the phone. but there is a connector between the halfs, so if you have an other wizard that is broken you can combine the two.
but i only have one wizard =(

Mystery input problem

My M700 (orange rom, new radio rom) is having problems with the buttons (or is it?)
Basically, I noticed things were happening without me pressing buttons, occasionally (like when Im in a phone call) it will flash up that I cannot put this call on hold (though I didnt try to)- or when I'm in GPS (TomTom) it occasionally goes back to the options screen without me pressing anything.
I also noticed that occasionally the scroll wheel wont work on the side, and if i press the memo button opposite, it goes to the "realign my screen" program (which happens when you press them both together) but then it works normally again
Finally the little directional pad at the bottom has stopped working sometimes (including the button in the middle, but not the buttons surrounding them ie ok, windows hang up, make a call etc) -
Anyway - it seems to me like either there is a software problem, or that one of the buttons is being activated continuously, possibly by dirt, which might explain the intermittent nature of the fault.
Does anybody have any similar experience?
And...
What should I do - look at potential software problems, or hardware - (Im thinking hardware) should I take it to bits and clean it?
Thanks for reading my lengthy post, and I really appreciate any help from anyone, especially from people who've had this problem and fixed it
Update (2 mins later)
Whilst examining my pda, I dropped it onto the floor, and everything started working again - I'm beginning to think that its the silver button in the middle of the direction pad that is causing the fault, as when I hold it on it has all the same effects -
So, if this is the case, does anyone have any ideas, how to clean it easily? (if it is a hardware problem that is- it lives in my pocket and get pretty dusty so it could be)

T-Mobile MDA/Wizard Malfunctioning?

Hello there, I am quite new to this forum, only being a lurker for quite some time. But I have decided to join because I am in dire need of help. My MDA/Wizard has suddenly gone out of control. I have had Mobile 6.1 installed on it for years with no problem, and the .cabs I have are working fine.
Now, recently, my phone has acted in a very unfavorable manner that has even caused me to hard reset it to it's original state, with still no luck. On about three different occasions, my phone's lights, keyboard and face, have gone off, and stay on until the phone locks. The main buttons, (Directional arrows, Exit, Call, Internet Explorer, and Mail) do not function unless I press a top right hand corner button on the keyboard twice. From there, it slightly functions. When I quickly press the power button and press it again, the phone will enter its mail area. Doing this again opens up internet explorer. Pressing the center button in the directional pad causes the screen adjustment function to suddenly appear. The keyboard can barely function.
I have no idea what's causing this, any help please?
try getting the newest hard spl and flashing a new rom. maybe your rom got corrupted
