Hello my fellow vibrant-lovers,
Just realized today that search button has stopped working,
I clearly recall that it worked before, as to when it stopped working, I have no idea. Since you can long press the left button to bring up search, it's probably not a big deal as far as practicality is concerned (I use the left button for search a lot of times anyways), but I was just wondering if anyone else has the same problem and whether there is a fix somewhere.
Could it be that some software or setting is involved??
I do have about 85 softwares installed, has a whole lot of widgets (they're amazingly convenient and are truly changing the way I use my cellphone).
Any help is deeply appreciated.

got a strange issue, suddenly the function key (blue dot) remains active all the time on my hermes (softbank x01ht). When I press it, it doesn't deactive like it used to be. Reflashed w/WM5&6 numerous time to hope that it'll go away but it doesn't.
i can still use the phone except that the keyboard is basically deemed useless which is really irritating.
already googled and searched thru the forum but found no match.
any help is greatly appreciated, thnx!
I have an 8125 Wizard with WM6 RC5.
The phone was working fine until about a week ago.
Now the smart keys do not work but randomly start working after I press the key on the left above the volume control...as if it activates them. The messaging and internet keys never work anymore.
On the keyboard. it works sometimes and sometimes it doesnt. When it does not all the keys work...a few letters do not respond.
When the phone screen is activated by pressing power button when phone is on "hibernating mode" the today screen opens...then after about 1 second the software configered to the Email softkey opens and then closes.
Can anyone help...I have reset the device using clear storage...would I need to Hard reset, will that help. I had battery status installed and it also overclocked to 247....could that be a reason. I have now removed battery status. PLS HELP

Two things:
First, remember this is a bulletin board. Sometimes it takes time for people to get around to reading your post. Sometimes, 50 people will read your post before someone will bother to answer, and even then, the answer may not be a solution to your particular problem.
Second, as you saw on the other threads, I recommend opening and cleaning your button contacts. People are constantly surprised by the need for this, but if you have anything resembling an active life, you probably need to do this about once every six months.
So I don't know what I installed or if installing apps has anything to do with it but the hardware phone button stopped working on the today screen. If I'm in another app like the calculator or calendar & press the button, it goes to the dial pad. But if I'm on the today screen, it only lights up the screen & the buttons. It doesn't take me to the dial pad.
My question is... has this happened to anyone else & is there anything in the registry I can change to fix this?
I'm on a tmobile wing with the stock rom
Anyone? Anything? Its not a big deal I would just like to know if there is a way to fix this if I ever decide to sell my wing
I had the same problem with my Wing, then I stumbled here and found out nobody had an answer. I tried messing with the registry with total commander but to no avail. I just decided to restored my phone and the key works again.
Yea nobody answered so I just hard reset my phone & its all good now but I would still like to know if there is a way to fix it. That was the second time it happened to me. Like I said, its not a big deal, I found easy ways around it but it would be nice to know I can fix it without resetting
Hey everyone my HTC HD2 got the Non-Responsive screen problem a week ago, & did a lot of research and found out that it was most likely a hardware problem with a cable..... So a lot of people would tell the people with the problem that the "Touch Screen Digitizer" is dead (like the cable), or it needs to be cleaned... pretty well go out and buy a new one... BUT I have never found evidence that someone has done this and it has successfully "cured" their HTC HD2 Non-Responsive touch screen problem...
So I was looking for anyone on the forums that could confirm this is a solution or give me any tips on what I should do.... AND no I don't have enough money to get a new phone, nor do I live in the USA so I can't send it in to fix it...
This is what I was going to buy for it:

Thanks for taking the time to read my Thread, its much appreciated!! I hope I can find a fix!!
PS: If anyone wanted to know what it looks like out of curiosity I posted 3 pictures with RED circle HIGHLIGHTING the problem when I try to touch something....
I really want to know this as well, because my phone is basically unusable at this state. I can get into it maybe 2 or 3 times a day, if i really try (locking and waking up the screen over and over until it becomes responsive). I don't want to buy a new digitizer if it isn't going to fix it, but i would gladly buy one if it will fix it. If you try it, and it does work for you, send me an email at [email protected] .
Anyone with any other information on this please help us out, there is a surprisingly small amount of info on this issue, considering how many phones were affected.
screen
I have read some threads on the power button being the cause. Try pressing it several times. Once you get the screen operating go to the market and get screen off app and a reboot app. Place them on your home screen toolbar. I use adw and it has an extra hidden toolbar if you swype down and then up on toolbar and up then down to close it. Either way you do it is fine. This keeps you from pushing the power button which has been discovered to be the problem. Hope this helps. I haven't had the problem, but seeing that it's happening more often I use these apps to keep from using power button unless needed to boot into magdlr.

Thanks for the help, yeah I havee seen that problem and I think that is my problem as well.... I am going to get a T5 Torx Screwdriver am pop open to see if I can maybe fiddle with the cable to get it to work again.... if it doesn't i might get a new digitizer or just have to go back to my old phone and save some money for a new smart phone
I have http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=933951 on my hd2 and theres an option in cynogenMod settings > input > long press home settings that lets you change the action that happens when holding down the home key. Just set that to "screen off."
The problem with the slide (left-right), ie. I can not to unlock my display. Since a few days ago I can not move the slide, i I have to turn off the phone (to remove battery), I worked reset, modified wallpeper and screen saver but nothing. Now I hold on my calculator, or some other program and it is only solution that I can to use my phone. Otherwise, touch screen works normally on all parts of dislpay. Does anyone know a solution to this problem?
Weird...

Are you sure your touchscreen works normally on all its surface and only unlock slide is a problem?
It seems very odd, never heard something similar...
Yes,it's wierd.. Maybe you could describe the problem better when it doesn't work etc. it could be some touch drivers problem
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA
I used to have similar problems . Have you updated to the latest rom from HTC. It can be downloaded from their website. ( be sure to back up all your personal stuff first of course)
Good luck
Yes I know that seems very odd, but it is, my touchscreen works normally on all its surface and only unlock slide is a problem. ''Touch drivers", how and where I can to find drivers? Last night I looked different solutions, similar problems on many forums but without success. I found and installed little program 'xda shutdown' and it is work.....with that program I turn phone to sleep.....when I need to use phone again I push button 'home' on the phone, and slide works normally (no button shutdown, because in that case I cann't to move slide left or right). I forgot to mention, I have Windows 6,5, rom 3.14.479.2 (04666)WWE (I think that is last officially rom), radio 2.15..50.14. I hope that I now gave you more informations. Thanks in advance.
sounds like a common hardware problem of the HD2. the power/end call button is one of the most used buttons and has been known to cause pressure on the touch screen+connectors underneath, which can eventually damage the touchscreen.
you are now using a way to turn off the screen that doesn't involve the power/end call button. also, you are now using a way to wake the device using a button other than the power/end call button. funny thing is, this is exactly what is suggested (as a workaround or troubleshooting step) in almost all of the many many threads that talk about the problem mentioned in the first paragraph!
search some more and most common permanent solution suggested is to have it repaired!
Thank you ASCIIker, do you think that this is now a only solution, there is no way to get things back as before?
