Hey XDA ..
My Legend have been doing a pretty weird thing lately.. Sometimes when I press the Menu button, it thinks I'm holding the Volume Down button. And of course it switches to silent mode and starts vibrating like hell ..
It stops when I press Volume Up or Menu. Afterwards won't any of the 2 and home buttons respond
After a little break or a reboot, it all goes back to normal... Well only sometimes ..
I think it is a software problem, so I did a hardreset but it didn't solve anything ?
My Legend was all stock with Android 2.1 .. It was not rooted or anything ..
I don't really have an idea what this is caused by.. so does any of you know wtf is going on or have a solution ?? Cause it pretty annoying
Thanks !
Sometimes pressing menu and back at the same time causes some really weird things to happen. I'm not sure of a solution, but it's always been a minor issue for me too. Although never in the same way as yours, not that bad.
Never had that problem before. But I do have the menu + back button issue, not a big deal though. My advice is your send your phone for warranty and have them check it out.
It did it several times yesterday and had to reboot all the time ..
Mine doesn't really seem to have that back and menu problem.. But what is it doing? Maybe I have the same issue without knowing it ?
But yeah could send it back for a check ...

Hello,
I have the same problem.
I don't think its a software problem I rooted the phone to sereral roms even froyo (azure).
Now I'm back to stock 1.31.405.
I'am thinking to send it back for warranty but i'm afraid they won't do anything or see that i rooted the phone.
Please keep me update what your are going to do about it or if you find solution.
Nice to know I'm not alone
I don't really know what to, and I'm was kinda hoping that some of you could help Cuz I'm not really pro at Android yet
But it haven't done it the last 2 days which I find really weird!

I think i'm gonna send the phone back.
I made a video to show the guys at the store what the problem is:

If someone has any suggestions to make it dissapear thx
I also have the menu+back issue, maybe it is a feature (lol)
It is really weird: you push both buttons and the phone shakes and lags a little bit and after few seconds it vibrates three times. I have no idea why...
PS: I have not found any info googling about this.

Mine does the exact same problem After a couple of minutes of usage, the problem suddenly appears..
But I dont seem to have the Menu & Back problem ..?
Piacer pls keep me updated ..
I made a video too
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFWdOVopeDQ
But I'm also considering to send it in..
Had a very similar problem with my first legend. It didn't happen with the menu button but the volume was constantly being turned down, as if I was holding the volume down button. Brought it back for a replacement and have had no trouble with my new one.

Same problem for me!
if anyone have a clue, please help.
My warranty is in thailand... too far
I have the exact same problem. I tried everything. I even sent my phone in for repair and they "fixed" it and sent it back but it still has the exact same problem.
It seems like a hardware problem with these phones.

Damn i'm just going to send my legend for repair(first i will try out froyo).
I hope it will be fixed, not like yours
Hey
Have anyone of you got Froyo yet ? Just to see if it solved the issue ?
My Legend is unbranded so no Froyo for me yet .. But hope I get it in a couple of days
Mine is just back from warranty, they just put new software on it. Played one hour with it and it seems normal.

After reading this thread I just realised holding Menu brings up keyboard..
I read somewhere that the pressing back + menu button thing is a way of producing bug report for ppl who are using custom rom? im not sure if custom launcher does that too though...
when i press menu and back nothing happens to me, stock 2.1 and sense.
Same here, nice to know

I read that in the Cyanogen nightly thread also. Not too sure where the file ouput would be though, so its hard to check.

to simply put the problem if i press the end hang up button which locks the phone when i press it again the touch screen goes out.... screen comes back on but no touch function at all....any body had this problem and i dont think its just android because it happens even when i am in wm6
Happened to me too
So far no luck in resolving this problem (tried different roms, and no luck)
happens when you click the end button repeatedly (was my habit, was using motorola milestone before this)
So now i have to take it slow, and had to make a habit of ending call with the software button instead of the hardware ones (works for me)
With proper discipline i managed to go on for week without hangups. Try it, make sure you dont rush to click the end button
I think everyone has this problem. you cant instantly unlock a device.
It is normal if you repeatedly rush in waking up your hd2. Builds differ only in the length of the lag. You can also try waking it up using the "call" button.

same problem, flashed new rom/radio... nothing helps.
The screen works on the first initial boot in after a restart then i lock it. After that its just a cry-fest.
Someone please help!
When we have nand flashing hopefully this kind of thing will be sorted.
and also once it locks i have to soft reset over and over and over and over till it works again...is their a way i can change it so that when i press the end button it does not lock the phone? or a way i can make the phone go dim but NEVER locks?
I have only had the problem in Android. The simple way to solve this is to turn off the screen again, wait for about 20-30 seconds before turning on the screen. It will be fine again!

Indeed, but that gives bad impression that your phone is unstable.
I normally snatch the phone before they press the end button with the pretense of doing something else lol

The possibility is there - HD2 threads is one of the most popular threads in xda and you could see lots of chef and modders here (finger crossed)
And with NAND flashing, i dont even had to see the dreaded WM6 anymore
Plus i could imagine the speed increase it bring (since the O/S resides in the NAND flash, you could access stuff from the microsd card without stutter)
it's just your android BUILD
you could try switching roms/radio's maybe it's related but I had it in the past, and now I don't, so it's fixable, suggestion? Try and test out new stuff
My sister always says.
"What if you have to call the police! you cant unlock the phone and you get killed."
Thats my main problem with android builds.
=( sad. I sent in to htc today. waiting for response.
Any chance of getting that fixed since last post?
Hi guys are you having problems with home button? Mine wont work to go back to the home screen just to unlock the phone...
Wrong section!
working fine on mine. i had a problem when i recieved a call tho. slid the bar across to answer it and it dissapeared so i couldnt answer the call
Give it time to "settle". A new flash may be a little buggy until everything is cached, etc. properly.
Its been one hour....weird bug...home button is so important...I hope sony releases one fix....

Hello everybody
I just post this thread to talk over some weird problem that occurs to me.
I have a Galaxy tab 10.1v with the 3.0.1 HC system.
Since the beginning, generally when I am surfing with the browser and using the scroll bar or the keyboard, the screen just freeze few seconds. I can do anything. It is very frustrating
But also with other task as android market, with apps,...
The only thing working is to push the power off button and pushing again.
After that, it is working. Or to wait (+-30sec) to unfreeze the screen...
So I search trough the forum and find some stuffs talking over "unresponsive screen".
One talk over the fact that when 2 fingers touch in the same time the screen, it doesn't move.
I try but I am sure that it isn't the problem.
So is it a software issue that I can resolve or do I have a return to the manufacturer?
Thank you in advance
Sorry but anybody had already encounter and resolve this problem?
thank you
Have you tried a factory reset?

@UKseagull : yep I try so many times...
But the fact is that even after a factory reset, the problem comes early when it asks you to choose language or wifi connection for the 1st time....
Do you think the problem is coming from the touch screen?
I'm searching for the same answers... our Tabs must have been built on the same day!
Hi..
Some times im having the same problem...
I have tried to twist my tab by holding with two hands and twist. Some times after that it start to respond.. that makes me think its an hardware issue.
I also had that newton ring and got the screen replaced cous of that short after I bought it. I am not realy sure of anything.
Hopefully some one has a solution

I wouldn't twist it. You'll likely break it for sure. I'd see about having it serviced.
So for some reason, the last few days the touchscreen on my phone was being super slow, and id have to turn off the screen, then turn it back on multiple times and keep trying to slide it to unlock. I dont know how this started. Ive been using the NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.9.
Ive tried other ROMs and restored previous backups and nothing is working. The screen is still not responsive. Ive never had this happen before and not sure what else to do. Its just stuck on the lock screen but everything is unresponsive....any ideas???

Unfortunately, your touchscreen digitizer is dying. This is related to the hardkey malfunction. The only thing you can so now is flash back to stock WM Tom and send it back for repair. The phone's touchscreen need to be replaced.
Good luck,

Yeah thats what ive been reading, and right after i started this thread i was reading on another and read that you can fix it if you hold the power button down firmly (apparently the digitzier is right behind it)....that worked for me.
I think too much flashing and changing ROMS using the power button didnt help hehehe

Try using zMooth or Button Savior. This help your hardkey a lot. Since I have zMooth and Button Savior install on my phone, I no longer have to use the hardkey.

{edit}
!!!!! FIND SOLUTION !!!!!
The digitiZer is under the hangup button. press the button bit hard till it nudges the digitiser a little. it worked for me.
(found it from : http://www.htcphones.net/htc-hd2-problems-with-touchscreen/ )
I'm so cool now!!
I have been living on this solution for almost 2 months now.
However I can't take it anymore not because I am lazy!
but because when sometimes you need to make a quick call or grab that
camera instantly I tend to waste a good 5 minutes trying to make that hardpress on the end key work with the digitizer cable.
My question is, would changing the digitizer work? or is it something else?
Ever noticed that T-Mobile HD2 has soldered digitizer connection to the LCD vs. flex-cable socket in standard Leo?
I was running an older Paramid version of dunphp's ROM, and right before swtching the ROM my touch screen start to not function. I could not pull the ring up to unlock the screen. I rebooted multiple times. Cleared Dalvik and fixed permissions. It finally worked after attemptiing to unlock it for what seem like abother 500 times.
I was going to change over to his latest Deisre HD ROM anyway. So I did a Task 29, and cleaned and reinstalled everything from scratch. It worked perfectly for about 5 days. Now I am getting the same issue with my touch screen. It just seems to go out. Is this typically what happens when it's about to die?
Never mind. I Task29, and flashed a Windows Mobile ROM just to see, and yeah...it's dead...

You have semi-dead digitizer. But it is nothing you can't temporarily fix every time it happens. Just push red (end call) button really hard for a while and it will get fixed for a while. I recommend you using button savior and lock screen with it and unlock with any other button than red one, it should be permanently fixed then. Please hit the thanks button if I helped you.

I hit the thanks button as you gave me hope. I am currently using my old TouchPro 2 with an old NRG Titanium Rom on it for the time being, but will try this today. I’ll install “button savior”, but what am I supposed to do with the app? What settings do I run? I think you are totally right about this, as I noticed when I was unlocking my phone, using the green call button worked most often, but now that’s not even working.

Yes, I have exactly the same problem as you have. My phone was working flawlessly for like a year and a half, but last week all of a sudden the touchscreen sometimes didn't work and sometimes it did. So I tried literally everything, I was fixing my permisions all the time, wiping dalvik, task29, remaking parrtitions, even bought a new sd card. But few days ago I found a solution, by pushing red button really hard (because the digitizer is right behind it) and not using it after. The Button Savior app is a simple app that makes a very little transparent icon on your screen and when you tap it, the menu of buttons will come up (with the same buttons as your hard buttons on your device) so every time you will want to lock the device you will do it on your screen, and won't have to push the hard button and come through all the hassle of pushing the digitizer. I really hope I helped you, as this very same problem was driving my crazy for the past few days.

How long do you hold the red button? Also, I am pushing down really hard. I didn't know you could get the digitizer replaced...I wonder who would do that (no way would I send it to HTC and wait a month), and how much that costs...?
HTC sends phones back crazy quick. Atleast that's how it was for me. They actually sent it back the day they got it from what I remember. It did take a while though for the phone to arrive to HTC (this depend who and from where you send it though) If your phone still has warranty I seriously recommended you send it yo HTC. Just remember to flash it 100% stock before sending it.

Well believe it or not, after pressing the Red phone off button for an eternity and applying a ton of pressure, it's working. I am sure it won't be for long. I have a shortcut to lock the phone on the screen. So basically your saying I should stay away from hitting the Red phone off button, or else that will kill it again? What about the other hard buttons?
I am in the UAE at present, so it might be better for me to just order a digitizer and do the repair myself. I see there are a lot of YouTube videos on the subject.
Thanks everyone for your help!
