Power button not turning device off, stylus status not working...

Well a few days ago I went on a barrage and installed a bunch of apps like Gyrator 2, SensorLock, LevelSight, HTC Home, Ultimate Launch, HomeScreen ++.
I also coincidentally noticed two problems now First is when the device is on and I press the power, it doesn't turn the device off! Second is the HD is supposed to be able to detect the status of the stylus so when you pull it out in a call it opens the notes application. I also checked with Gyrator 2 which shows what the system reads for the stylus status and it no longer detects whether the stylus is in or not!
I'm going to try to uninstall each app one by one... but do any of you know whether there might be some other problem?? Or if someone's experienced the same thing, what are some recommendations to remedy this issue?
Each day of using the HD more and more problems keep popping up... I didn't drop $900 on this phone for nothing ><"

Do you also have problems with the volume buttons? If so, then perhaps your keypad service isn't running. You can check this with task manager v3.1

Ahh nifty the volume buttons don't work. Now how to turn this back on... hrmmm... time to poke around.

I had this problem when using MobileMagic for auto rotation using the G-Sensor. Uninstalling this fixed the problem. I now use ChangeScreen and find that this works better for me.
Hope this helps.

cardefbel was right it was the keypad service, I must've turned it off while messing around in the registry, should be more careful next time...
Turned it back on and everything works fine now. Thanks!

can we mod the phone to turned on with the Volume button ?

the power button are suks, and very very not comfortable, even more with silicon case.
i am a "nexus one" user, and i remember that we mod the phone to turned on with the track ball,
and as far as im remember, we can mod it to turned on with any another button - even the touch buttons...
there is some apk software for that - so no root neded, i jest cant fint it on the market and i dont know
if the same appz will work on the DHD.
that can be useful even if the power off button will die (HTC issue...)

update: find one that do the job: "Screen Mode Widget" - for free in the market.
set it up to "AwakeStay mode", its Allows the screen to go off, and clicking any
physical button - vol up/down brings the screen back up.

Thanks for this. I'be been looking for something similar. to clarify, Did you set the widget to 'never lock'? That seems to do as you desribed

Can you have it so that the volume button wakes the phone, without completely unlocking it?

Widget Locker is also a great app for this and other functionality. Not free though.

question is, will using these widgets cause the phone not to sleep properly and then battery life suffers?

The power button is the worst part of the dhd. Any workaround to not having to use it is worth trying

Keyboard clicks went silent.. :confused:

Anyone out there having as issue where the sound from the keyboard clicks, unlock and lock sounds, and the dial pad phone calls went almost un-hearable??
I have no current mods to my phone just picked it up started typing and noticed i could no longer hear my keyboard clicks and went on to discover that many of system sounds were quieter.
The rings and other notifications work just fine though very odd this is not the first time this has happened to me with other android devices but typically either a battery pull or a quick reset resolves the issue but not this case.
Anyone with similar issues with a quick fix aside from restore??

I have noticed that when the battery get low sounds and vibration setting get shut off.

Please post questions in Q&A section.

Yep.. You can edit all that in the Power Saver Options. It also will shut down WiFi. Very Annoying.

well i thought that also but my battery was fully charged.

I noticed when I clicked things the clicking sound was randomly extremely low. I went to the sound settings and just played with em for a min and it went back to normal :/

sadly i tried all that stuff and i am getting extremely frustrated

Funny thing.......my htc keyboard wont let me turn off the vibe feedback.

Mine turns off just fine but I've seen that issue on other phones, don't know how to fix it though.

Theres a power saving mode your phone gets into when it reaches 15% or lower. This setting quiets your phone, takes off vibrations, and more thing just to save batt. life, u can change this is settings

Multiple problems after official froyo update

i successfully updated to froyo from kies. before this i had the stock rom and did not install any custom one
after updating my proximity sensor works when the phone is held vertical in an upright position
but after making a call, if i keep it on the table and close the sensor, the screen doesn't turn off. it should turn off and was working fine in 2.1 for me
can you guys confirm if the sensor turns off even when laid flat on the table?
also, the volume up/down button does not silence the ringtone when i get a call
please reply so that i can confirm whether the problem is with my phone or with the new release.

Not sure about the sensor problem but as far as your second problem is concerned hold the vol down button for a few seconds to mute the ringtone

Proximity Sensor is problematic
Yes The Sensor does'nt seem to be responding towards the end of the call. Just use the home key to light up the screen.

The display screen timeout settings does not automatically turn off even after specified time.this happens very often and need to enable screen timeout settings again and again.

Yes , I am experiencing problem with Swype , it is not responding to aby gesture. I am able to type using swype as regular keypad but not as "swype". I resetted my phone 3-4 times but i wasn't lucky.
So i am using keypad only. Its official DDJP2 FROYO version thpugh its flashed using odin as i was experiencing problem with KIES.

I am experiencing some strange behavior in media and notification sound. while i play some song and want to lock my screen from power button, some glitchy sound is coming, same happening when some messages coming. is anybody experiencing the same. plz try it with headphone attached while playing a song and just lock the screen from power button menu...

Yes....This is happening
This is the worst release by Samsung , as per me....Even on call if you are using headphone, you will hear clicking sound (argh)

Yes the proximity sensor isn't working fine. Screen does not turn on after a call. So I need to press home screen every time.
And long pressing menu button in call log does not enable search bar which happened perfectly in 2.1

For those who r facing the problem silencing the ringtines from vol up down, press power on off button, it shud work.

we do know about pressing the power on/off key but that also switches off the sceen. but volume up/down only silences the ringtone but doesn't switch off screen.

swype doesn't work because languages are not installed. root, delete swype, install swype from official site.

and during a call, if you press volume up/down button to increase/decrease the volume, the voice breaks for a second and you hear a clicking noise.
these problems are seriously irritating me. thinking of going back to 2.1 or some custom ROM is samsung does not release an update fixing these problems.

Few more problems that I had observed....
1. If you open contacts and press back button you won't be going any where
2. Previously I used to connect my phone using bluetooth to my PC (Ubuntu) but now even after turning on my Bluetooth along with visiblity phone is not visible. Once I was lucky and recognized my phone as "V5" though the device name is different.
3. If you try to add pics to the contacts from your gallery the time taken is very long which was not the case with Eclair 2.1
4. Previously with Launcher Pro plus on Eclair I never had to "Force close" any application, but after upgrading to Froyo the first call itself raised a warning for force close. Even after sometime in my other call I couldn't End my call as the screen was not responsive.
After a struggle for One day on latest Firmware I feel that its not that worth to wait this much amount of time for official firmware.

I was experiencing the same problem on the first day, but after that i rooted my phone and installed busybox. from last 2 days did not find that contacts back key problem anymore.. i dont know its a temporary fix and what has fixed it anyway...
but really .. somehow this release is not at all convincing. so sad.

i too feel the same way mate..
can anybody tell me if I5801ZHJPF better that DDJP2?

I have another different problem my battery life is not going above 10 hrs while on 2.1 i used to get 18hrs. Am i missing some setting or what.I am gonna install something else if this **** firmware does not improve in the next update

i think this update was hastily released.
many bugs in it.
if you see the in-built task manager, the "uninstall" button is not even properly designed.
even accelerometer has some problems

the worst bug ever is the camera bug
theres this geo-tagging option..
until you get a fix on ur location camera will force close..
and it cant be disabled at all..
the only way to get around it is to use 3g or disable network mode in 2g..

i saw somewhere that this can be solved by disabling "use wireless network" option in settings->location and security.
not sure though. try it.

+ add one more bug to the list,
the microphone is also not working properly with different applications like Talking Tom or Talking Parrot, previously they used work on 2.1 without any problem or distrubance.
Did anybody also had the same problem?
One good thing with the Froyo update is previously my phone is used to restart unconditionally with the stock firmware (randomly sometimes during call or when Ideal). But till now no such weird behaviour in the current release.

Phone is leaving silent mode by itself. Constantly!

Having issues the past couple of days, my phone is leaving silent (or vibrate only in fact) mode by itself. At first I thought the volume up key was being pressed in my pocket but I've had it sitting on a desk for an hour and it's left silent mode, so now i'm sure it's an issue with software rather than tight jeans... Anyone have any ideas?
Running VR2.4.2

Update: it's now doing it every 5 mins or so. It gives a tiny vibrate then the vibration icon disappears... Has anyone else experienced this?

What screen locker are you using?

Bad contact in the volume button?

I thought about a physical problem but i left it alone for a while after it jumped out and it didn't turn up the volume again. I'm not using any special lockscreen, i have winamp controls when winamp is on but that's it. Any other ideas? I could just reflash I guess but it's bugging me not knowing the issue

Solution for the problem
Hi,
I had the same issue with my Galaxy Nexus but i found a way to solve the problem not permit solution but by using app called " Volume Locker " which will force the device to turn the volume up once it goes silent by sudden.

I had this.Rebooted and it was fine afterwards.
CM10/SGSII International

Or maybe its a women, just wont shut up
Try using a different rom (dont restore all the apps, might be some volume control or music app doing it) , if the problem still exist then its hardware issue.

Most likely an app is causing this problem...
If you are rooted, make a nandroid, then do a full wipe.
If the bug is fixed you know an app is causing it restore the nandroid and uninstall apps one by one untill its fixed

I had the same iussue with RR 3.0.6. Maybe is related to your custom rom, try changing it.
