Well I have this very annoying issue. This has happened with just about every ROM. My slide to unlock disappears, and the home and search keys do not work. Also, I can wake my phone up with the camera button.
I just loaded fission about an hour ago and it happened again. I have searched for a fix, but the only thing that I have found is to do a reset. Well that gets annoying after doing it 5 times a week. Anyone know of a fix?

SBF and manually restore your settings. Don't use any backups.
Lame, I was hoping there would be a better fix. Thanks for the input. I may return the phone if it keeps doing this, because I don't ready want to keep restoring.

I have a stock phone, updated with the OTA update. I have this problem where the Home and Search softkeys will stop working all of a sudden. When you press them, they seem to flash so I dont believe this is hardware. Also when I restart the phone, the problem goes away, at least for a little while. When this is happening, to get to the homescreen I basically have to use the back soft key to go all the way back. I thought that maybe this was due to some updates I did so I uninstalled NoLed and TaskSwitcher and I was fine for a few days but it just happened again. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks, this is my first Android.
If I were, I'd exchange the phone. Sounds like the sensor for those buttons is defective.

It's not the sensor as a reboot will immediately fix this issue. Some say that doing a reset will fix it. Thinking about trying that.
Hey,
I get this issue at times where when I select a text input box on the droid pro and start using my physical keyboard, the first letter I press gets doubled e.g. "ddoubled" This happens fairly often so I was wondering if anyone of you are experiencing the same thing.
I've been having that problem as well...seems like it's just been a recent occurrence because I don't remember it happening this much previously...

happening to me as well_
Same here. Didn't notice it when I first got the phone. Seems like a recent issue. I haven't had the issue for a day or two. Odd

Although I've experienced other issues this one is new to me and I've yet to had the pleasure of encounter it. Hope it stays that way!
Did any of you try a factory reset or an SBF reload?
Same here. Very annoying. It also sometimes misses the first letter on mine. Especially when using the instant search from a home screen.
i would do a factory reset, and make sure you have the current OTA software
The touch screen on my DX stops responding several times a day. It very random, it can be during a text, answering a call, etc. If I lock and unlock the screen, its back to normal. Its running the OTA 2.3.340 and is rooted, but this started prior to rooting. The "tech" at VZW said to do a factory reset but I'd rather not have to re-setup everything. Anyone else have this problem and have you found a fix? Any help appreciated. Thanks.
I have this exact same problem
Are you using a rom? It happens to me every once in a while, maybe every other day or so, sometimes twice in a day. I thought it might be the rom I'm using. I'm on liberty but everything else works fine for me so I was just waiting it out till they get version 1.5 released.
Beamed from my robot X using the XDA app
No other ROM, it is stock other than rooting and removing a few bloatware packages. It did this before removing any of that though.
My phone just started doing this recently as well. I think a program running in the background might be at fault. I'm still trying to find out which one

It happens to me while trying to use lock screen... I'm on apex and it always happened while using apex and on liberty until i switched to the rotary lock slide

Same issue here.I think this is a documented bug, and I haven't seen anyone post a fix for it anywhere
Obviously, I'm using a rooted DX. I have liberty 1.5 installed. I also use Droid X overclock. Many times a day, when the screen is off, and I try to unlock the phone, the screen never wakes up, I try pressing different buttons but it just remains unresponsive. Meanwhile , I can see that the phone is still working (the clock, the unlock button, etc. ). It takes like 2-3 minutes, then the phone reboots.
Could the reason be the fact that I make the phone underclock (400,800) when the screen is off?? so it doesn't have enough power to wake up??
PS: NOOB

Thanks a lot. Apparently I'm not the only one having this issue. Too bad, liberty is a good ROM other than this issue.

Hi
I have a rooted stock ROM/Theme MT4G which I noticed last week that it stopped going to sleep. If I set the timeout to 15 seconds (or anything) then right after the timeout is reached the screen sleeps and then within a second immediately comes back on (to the lock screen). It keeps doing that no matter what settings I try. This of course kills the battery life with my screen being nearly 100% of use.
I thought it was related to an app update so I removed nearly everything I could to no avail. Thinking that it was something related to the ROM I decided to try a different ROM. I installed CM7RC2 and low and behold the same problem persisted. I had to disable trackball wake for this problem to go away. I then tried several other ROMs and the problem still remained. I've attempted the various Royal* ROMs and the same problem persisted. Any Sense based ROM was problematic since I had no way of disabling Trackball Wake so I'm now running CM7 (nighties).
The other snag I'm having is that I too have the problematic power button but in my case I have to REALLY press hard to operate the power button which of course is annoying.
Anyone have any suggestions or experience with this sort of problem?
Thanks.
Did you check out the Cyanogen mod 7 in settings ?
I did. That's what I'm running now.what exactly are you suggesting? Thanks.

I have the same exact issue, ive been trying to get some devs to add the disable trackpad wake option in sense roms but so far nothing so right now i use either royalginger or royalmiui im on miui but i really miss sense :/
I had the same thing. I booted into recovery and wiped data and cache and flashed again and everything worked.

I must have done that a bunch of times already but nothing worked except CM7 because I can disable the trackpad wake function. I wish Sense based ROMs allows for disabling the trackpad...that would be greatly appreciated. An even more helpful feature is the ability to remap the buttons.
Is it possible your trackpad is defective? DO you notice other odd behavior that could be related to it?
If your using google voice its the application doing that you can fix this on cm 7 by moving the application to the Sd card.

I believe this is a real hardware issue... It seemed that the optical sensor in the trackpad is broken and it's always sending signal to the kernel telling that it detected activity but in reality nothing was going on, so the kernel can never go into power saving mode.
Sense UI is a CLOSED SOURCE software, there's nothing you can do to patch it.
Since ALL MT4G are still under the 1 year Manufacturer's warranty, you should call T-Mobile/HTC to get it fixed or just get a replacement....
Ok I found a solution for us mt4g owners with the messed up trackpads, you are gonna have to flash virtuous unity rom v. 2.39 and then apply this patch:

This patch was made by one of the developers of the rom chrisch1974 specially for this issue, so good luck =D
Same problem, but found work-around
My phone (MT4G) has the same issue but I know why it happened. I got caught in the rain and although I had the phone in my pocket, it got wet. Everything works except that. I left in a bag of rice overnight to no avail.
Anyway, when I press the power button to send it to sleep mode, it just comes back to the lock screen. If I let it time out, it goes out but comes right back to the lock screen. Sounds familiar?
What works for me is holding the home button (the one with the sensor) and, while still holding the home button, pressing the power button once. It is then that I let go of the home button.
Works, but sometimes I have to repeat this charade a couple of times before it sticks. Usually have to repeat it when I don't fully press the home button.
Anyway, hopefully this will help someone that is stuck with this phone and is unable to get a replacement.
