in Android the Power-Off-button seems to make a problem. The phone asks me from time to time to choose between Power Off, reboot, hit restart and boot-loader, even if I don't touch the hw-button. If I short-press the button the same menu comes and if I long-press the button (normaly to enter this menu) nothing happens.
I tried different builds an different kernels.
sometimes in Winmo I have a similar problem, but with call-button.
any ideas? the phone is like that not usable.

I got a strange problem here.
Since I got my HTC Desire, I dont really use my G1 anymore. So I decided to sell it. While setting it up I noticed a really strange bug:
When I try to hold the Power button to get into the Power Menu, the phone changes in to standby-mode or changes to lookscreen (like i would only press the Power button without holding it).
Sometimes I can reach the Power Menu, but phone is changing to standby or lockscreen immediately.
I tried 2 different radios and 3 different roms
Does anyone have an idea?
My DHD Home & Search buttons, and occasionally the back button also, stop working after a while. Sometimes its only a few minutes after a soft reset, other times it may take an hour or so before it happens.
With the Home button, the screen just flashes when I press it but nothing happens - it doesn't go Home. With the Search button, nothing happens at all.
When I soft reset the DHD the buttons then return to normal for a while, but I've been unable to determine what causes it. I've run virus checks, and they are ok.
It doesn't affect the Menu button.
Any ideas?
Does anyone else have this issue?
If I press the power button once it only pops the flight mode>shutdown>silent menu. But if I double press it, it shuts off the screen.
The power button has worked normal before but its like it has a mind of its own.
It works fine in winmo though.
Another thing is when the power button is working properly in android, i can get into the bootloader via hardware keys.
When it isn't working normally in android, I can't start the bootloader nor hardreset.
My soft keys are acting weird. sometimes when i press the home button right after a boot, it captures screen, meaning the 'menu' soft key is depressed. However, after that the softkeys don't respond anymore.
Also, sometimes while powering on, the Galaxy boots up in 'safe mode', meaning again that the 'menu' button is depressed (the way to enter safe mode is by pressing the menu button with the power button).
I have checked the key map in the clockwork recovery which show the 'menu' & 'back' key responding only once before going dead.
During general operation, the softkeys don't work at all and i'm left with only the home button.
Since the keys respond once, i'm sure they're not broken. Seems like a software error. I have tried different kernels & 3 diff roms, but the situation is the same.
Any help to ascertain / solve the problem will be appreciated
Similar issue
I had a similar issue on a brand new phone, the soft keys would detect my finger from about 1cm away, so holding the phone and moving you grip would cause them to activate, eventually they would lock up until you locked the screen and tried again. It was totally a hardware issue, I replaced the phone used the same ROM and no issues.
the reason i'm convinced its not a hardware fault is that the keys 'blink' when i touch them which means they are registering touch. its got to be something else.
the Galaxy has got to be the most mysterious device ever!
Sounds like you ought to send it in for a replacement.
You can try a touchkey firmware update.
Make sure you're on your device's stock ROM otherwise you'll lose your touchkeys.
ENTER *#*#2663#*#* in the dialer. Then update the touchkey firmware and reboot.
You should be able to return to your other ROM after this.

Hi,
i have a htc touch hd with energy rom installed, i have read about the volume problem with this rom but i would like to make sure this is software related before i got any further, anyway heres my problem - as soon as i switch the phone on, everything loads then the volume up button presses itself constantly, causing the phone to constantly beep, if i then restart the phone, it vibrates 3 times and fails to come on, i have to remove the battery for a minute or so to get the phone back on then the same happens again.
so i installed the latest version of energy rom and it still happens except the volume control screen has been removed so now whenever im in a menu or drop box, it constantly changes the selected item to the option above (as if im physically pressing the volume up button).
is this software related or is the volume button physically broken.
the reason i ask before trying the patch is because the phone will need reflashin to be able to install the patch (because it will not work with the vol button stuck) and if i reflash with a stuck volume button it might crash and brick the phone. if its a hardware fault i am capable of fixing it myself.
