Hi guys,
Since few days, the 'switch off' button (bottom right) of my HD2 doesn't react anymore.
I was thinking it was a HW issue, but few things make me think it is a bug :
- all the other keys are working fine
- if I restart the phone, before Manila loads, I see the 'lock-switch off-...' choice screen appearing so seems like the physical part is working
- I see reaction on the backlight (off-on) for the buttons when I press it
Did anybody face that issue?
Just wondering if I should do a Factory Restart, but as it 's a bit of a pain in...
ROM : 1.66.406.1 FRE
Manila : 2.5.19211619.0
HW issue... :-(

would you mind elaborating more? it's the first time I read about single buttons not working on these fora... how did you discover it's certainly a hw issue?
If you think its a software issue, do a hard reset.

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.
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!
Hi
When using the HTC Sense Music player, the volume key sometimes acts as forward/backward in songs and some times as volume key. Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong here. Cannot find any settings regarding this issue
Hmph, I never got this issue.

I'm facing the same issue here. Any advise ?
Even i was facing same issue in youtube client ...

I don't install things like that, but have this problem. It's nothing to do with anything that's installed on top of the UI.
This is a known issue, and has been discussed on here before. There is no answer at the moment. It's most likely a feature that has bugs in it. It would be nice to just stick to either volume or track skipping, depending on what you want. I normally get volume control from the buttons, but it does occassionaly skip tracks.
HTC may be aware of it - they may not. Since it happens so rarely for me, I'm not too fussed, but if it's bothering someone then they should report it to HTC, just in case they don't know about it.
solution
i found a solution but it's a bit painfull!!!!
hardreset your htc and after that it should be fine.
i've done this and my volume key it's working as it suppose to do!

This isn't a solution, as it's an intermittent problem. If you've had it before, you'll have it again. It will just take a while to reappear.
i think it was something that i installed that cause this problem.

It's an issue with the UI. It's possible that you could cause this by installing something, but uninstalling it would not stop it happening as the problem is native.
The volume key is dual action key when useing the HTC Sence MP.
in order to operare the the volume just turn the screen to "off" by pressing the "OFF/End Call "key.Enjoy the music.

uh? Actually the whole volume function is messed up on the HD2. Sometimes it works, then you suddenly no longer see the volume indicator when using the buttons when watching a video, or it forwards/rewinds the videos/music and best of all sometimes it just crashes the whole device! Soft-reset and it's back to normal. There's a bug in Manila and HTC has to fix it.
This bug and the sms bug are the only problems i have with this phone.. both are so frustrating..
its a real pain in the ass sometimes, i experience this problem too - its definitely a bug
Any one else had issues with the centre windows button not working?
I'm not sure if it's hardware as in the button is actually not working or more of a software freeze. An example would be on the home screen pressing the windows button and literally nothing happens. touching start in the top left however works everytime.
A simple power on/off of the device solves the issue but its been happening a few times this week and is becoming annoying.
The more apps and tweaks I do to my phone, the more unstable it seems to get. Has anyone else noticed this? Just little things, like for example a few times my lock screen with "password" has reverted to windows classic style but then a screen off / screen on will bring it back again to the WM6.5 lock screen with slider.
Just overall slightly odd behaviour.
I may have recently installed something that the device doesn't like too much, but if so I am unsure what software it is. I'm tempted to save all patches I have, and write down the adjustments I've done and perform a hard reset, the phone definitely was not like this when I got it only 2 weeks ago.
I wonder if anyone else has had anything similar or if its just my phone?
Seems like a hard reset is required. My o/s seems very stable, the only problem I have in that regard is the odd freezing of the messaging app.
It just happened to me after reading this post :-O
another hardware failure case...good job HTC...

@dgtel2
Could you please explain how this "hardware failure" is temporarily fixed by a reset?
Another "reading failure", and simply blame HTC. Good job dgtel2.
When we reset, we need to hold the "call-off" button. That's not a good design due to excessive pressure to the edge of the "capacitive" screen. They should have introduced separate turn-off button. Over time, the buttons/screen will get affected (but for new unit, it's pretty unlikely...).
So, to reset using the red reset button, it is located underneath the "so-hard-to-open" back cover. Over time, again, will affect the capacitive screen.
But, the problem could be due to both hardware and software issue. Just send it back to the vendor. Less headache...
Yeh its definitely not a hardware fault. Its more like a freeze or slight confusion between WM6.5 and sense somewhere along the line....
I've thought of another thing which would also come under this weird behaviour category.
I noticed today whilst watching a video on the youtube app, using the up and down volume buttons on the side of the device would make the video freeze for abpproximately 1 second each time the button was pressed, it would change the volume up or down, but the bar would not appear on the screen so you have no idea what the level of volume actually is.
again soft reset solved this, but its just another on of those weird things
Back up and hard reset all the way.

Don't use excessive pressure.
Why the "" round capacitive?
just a "make-up" ...lol ... again...those "..."

It's quite a common issue people have. A lot need to send the phone back to HTC to get it fixed.
isn't there any other option to fix this? becouse it looks like a software problem

What ROM are you using then?
i have official 2.1 update
Then it probably isn't software. Contact HTC and explain the problem - you should still have your warranty in tact as you haven't rooted.
