P3600 buttons not working anymore

Hi!
Since yesterday my ok, windows, on and off hook and -- buttons aren't working anymore. The button in the middle and the cursor are still ok. Any ideas?
Due to the fact that the "--" (left and right) are not working I can't even do a hard reset.

Hi, I dont know what happened to your buddy, have you recently installed third party software? Anyway you can do an hard reset via the control panel under setting|system|
Hope this helps

Hi all,
OK I did a hard reset but it didn't work. Still no go :-(
The black coating is also peeling off. What a nice device.

mine just packed up too

more and more bugs are showing up every day passes... I somehow knew It would happen.. I don't think I'll take the risk of buying a p3600 through import without warranty after reading all these problems..
Good luck man

Trinity working well ..

While I dare not say my Trinity will be problem free, so far it has served me well. Everything is working as it should and the internal GPS has been enabled without a single problem. I'm on the test ROM (AKU3.3) and so far the performance is much better than my old Dopod 838 Pro (Hermes).
So far I have been very impressed with HTC built devices. A friend of mine's Dopod 838pro (Hermes) went into the pool accidentally, and it refuse to boot. After 3 days of intensive 'drying' it finally came back to life and it is working problem free until now.

Hehe, good to hear that....
I'm personally considering the hermes (TYTN) myself, because it's available here with warranty.. I hope the new ROM with AKU3.3 will improve it..

My personal advise to you would be to test the 3G call on that device before you buy it. The only advantage the Tytn has over Trinity is:
1) Flash light & Macro Picture
2) Keyboard
3) Additional hard button (Messaging, IE, 3G call)

The main reason I'm considering it is that i can buy it from here in israel with warranty, I don't wanna risk buying the trinity abroad.
I don't really care about 3G calls, I never use it, but 3G internet speeds aren't bad
the keyboard seems a big advantage over the trinity. The main advantage of the trinity is the small and pocket form factor, but unfortunately I can have it only by importing it

No. It's @ HTC since 2 weeks

ok cheers, if it's any help they have repaired mine twice for this issue. Originally it went in for the peeling paint, but while they had it the buttons failed the test so were replaced. Then when they bodged the repair and it went back again, again the buttons failed the test and they replaced again.
Then when I get the phone back...the buttons don't work! Incidently before they started repairing the phone I never had a problem with the buttons

Hi!
I know that this thread is quite old but I prefer to post in this thread rather than opening a new one (sorry if I am not doing well but I am new at the community )
Yesterday I was working on a P3600 and suddenly all buttons stop working. The irDA also did not work. I have left the phone all the night without the battery (I really don't know what I was trying to achieve ), and this morning the buttons (and the irDa) did not work yet. Now, after a hard reset, it seems that all is working as it should.
My questions are, why after a hard reset? (it seems to point out a software issue); is this problem related to the touch screen problem I've been reading about in the forum? (perhaps the cause is the same); and finally, is it likely to appear again?
Thanks in advance
ROM version: 1.15.412.2 10/23/06 (original one)
Radio version: 1.20.00.11
ExtROM version: 1.15.412.101

My D-pad select, down, right and OK have been getting steadily worse requiring more pressure to use. Mine isn't software related. Just sent it back today asking for the black peeling issue to be repaired as well.
I held out as long as I could hoping that any issues had been resolved by HTC. I'll post when I get it back.

did u get it back? my keys also stopped working..windows + ok + up key.
should i contact htc or e-tailer?

You will probably have to get return authorization through your retailer.
It's been about 2-1/2 weeks and no word from HTC. I emailed them today. I will be sure to post when I get it back regarding GPS Rom and peeling.

Just got it back - all pretty again. They replaced the bezel and switch board. Still has old rom but I am happy.

I've had the exact same thing happen twice now. Everything is going along fine and then suddenly all the keys stop working until I do a hard reset. The touch screen keeps going as normal. I haven't tested the IRDA but it appears that USB and active sync don't want to go either. A hard reset solves the problem but then I have to reinstall things which is annoying.
There must be other people out there with this problem. Has anyone come up with a solution?

I don't think, that there will be a fix...seems like a hardware problem to me.
I have nearly the same....the red and the green call buttons don't work properly!

For me they work immediately after a soft reset and then stop again within about 30 seconds. Hardware or software? it would appear to be software but I had the same issue using the official T-Mobile WM5 and still umder Black Satin WM6.....
think I'll flash back to official ROM and take it into the shop tomorrow!

Elf won't start

hi all,
I've a problem with my htc touch, it doesn't won't to start !
everytime i turn it on it turns off right before the HTC welcome screen comes !
any idea what is that ? or how can i flash another rom ?
*it's fully charged
*my rom is Touch_of HD lite 3.0
Thanks

Hi,
Did you flash a new rom or something recently? How old is your battery? If possible....try changing the battery and giving it another shot.

it's a new battery about 2 months or something
yes this is a new rom i flashed it yesterday !
Thanks for your quick response

Hmmm...there you go. That seems to be the problem. Perhaps you'd want to go back to the thread from where you downloaded the rom and check to see if anyone else has had similar problems on their device. Or maybe try to get in touch with the person that cooked it. You can PM them or something. I'm sorry but beyond this....I cant tell you what to do....I've never flashed a rom on my device. Still learning Perhaps someone else on this forum can guide you.
Good Luck

Thank you but i don't think the rom is the problem,
I entered the boot loader and tried flashing 2 different roms and the same thing happens right before the HTC welcome screen "the animated picture where HTC logo appears" the device turns of !
so what is that !!!!
any help please

mine like the fridge!
For troubleshooting, try to cool it in the fridge for some minutes before you turn it on. If this helps, then I have no idea what causes the fault! But you are one step closer by knowing if its a hw or sw issue

If this helps, then I have no idea what causes the fault!

lool
I tried what you said but didn't work too !
I think it might be the RAM or something .. what do you think ?

could be
I've red somewhere that its a RISC controller in the Elf. If so; it contains a RAM itself. So even tough I'm not a specialist on this things I belive that it could be a internal fault in the RISC or the multiplexer to the external RAM or the RAM itself. These things are all a motherboard issue that needs a replacement - in other words a new phone!
If its a SW problem it should work fine with the orignial ROM. On this field I shall keep my mouth shutt 'cus I know nothing about phone/smartphones!! I do think you should make it to the bootleg whit any ROM.. I belive!

have you tried to hard reset
1) Simultaneous press and hold "Power" and "Camera" key.
2) Press "Reset" once with the stylus and then release all keys.

Yes I've tried hard reseting !

That's a relief

Have you tried flashing one of the original roms onto your device? If not....give that shot. You'll find a list of all original shipped roms on the wiki.

I'm not sure
If the mailfunction started after you ROM-flashing "upgrade", then its more likely that its the software. But I know nothing about software on this things or what the symptom may be if theres a missmatch on the phone configuration/model and ROM.

guys I've tried everything even original roms
I think i've to change the board !
Thank you all

ORANGE SPV M5000 red line on screen :(

Hello to ya all,greetings and respect
I have a ORANGE SPV M5000 for some 9 months now or so,i bought it new decoded from some other network,and i'm very very happy and satisfied with it and all the software that comes on regular basis for it
But when i bought it one thing i didn't realise at all,i saw it later home but then it was too late. For refund or anything ofc. I got used to it for all this time but anyway i would like to know what it is,would be nice if it's fixable,but i doubt that The thing is : on the screen,there is this red vertical line from top to bottom,in the left half of the screen.it's mostly visible on black backgrounds,not so much on other colors. does anyone maybe know,is the screen ****ed up,or maybe a software mess while decoding the phone ? And if so,is it in any way fixable. At least i would be at peace,knowing why that is. On it it's the original wm5,i never had guts to try upgrade to wm 6. Cuz my fiancee lives in anither country still and i use IM+ over gprs almost 24/7 to be in touch,so i can't risk to lose that lifesaving option.
Thank you all in advance !!

not sure but i guess its a problem with the screen, you should check the cables that connect the screen to the mb, maybe that fixes the problem...

Thank you for your very very fast reply. As soon as i saw it,i opened my PPC carefully and checked there the connector stuff,but with no changes,so at least i know it is not that. Thank you very much again for your quick help
First time opening,but very easy to open the PPC,not tricky at all like it was on my old SE P800,almost breaking it while opening
So i guess,maybe the screen is defected,but it was new and like that from the first day,so maybe the only thing possible is flashing the UNI ? Any ideas still from anyone ?

sorry, never had the problem, but i don't know what else could cause such a fault...

And still
And still after so much time,i have the red line
Nothing changed,only that in the meantime i flashed my UNI,which til posting this the first time i didn't do. I flashed the UNI i think 50 times since then
But still i am curious,if maybe anyone has an idea what that can be and is it fixable.

[Q] Touch screen doesn't work most of the times

Hi mates... First sorry for my english... I speak spanish.
My story here....
I was very happy with my Glacier MT4G since I used to come over XDA every time to learn how to root and stuff. Life was happy and colorful with all the things I was able to do with my phone..... until that day my phone just went bad...
it started with the headphone hole, I plugged my headphone and then nothing happened when ever it usually started to play music... Minutes later, as I was trying to realize what was the problem, the touchscreen just stoped working too...
A couple of months before it was having issues with the ear-speaker so I had to change it (not me, the repairman)... so instantly I thought the boy who fixed it could let something wrong inside but before I had to make some tests to discard possibilities
And then I flashed it first... it worked but after some time (an hour or less) it stoped again.... changed rom, and same....
So I thought it could be the digitizer, so took it to the technician and changed it.... same stuff... sometimes works, sometimes doesn't...
if i turn it on and works it takes some minutes to stop working and if I turn it on and doesn't work it just doesn't work
I know, boys... this could be some hardware issue... but if you know it isn't, it would be great if you let me know... or if you know which kind of hardware issue it is and you let me know that's even greater...
Thanks in advance

Grounding issue?

my zuk stopped working!!!

Hi guys,
3 months ago i've bought a brand new lenovo zuk z1(cyanogen rom type) and it worked so good, untill couple days ago after recharging it for about an hour and then using it for another half hour total it stopped working just like that. a random black screen. i've tried to recharge it over and over but no life signes from the zuk so far. . maybe os crush.. software failure.
i am really not expert in smartphones fixing so much. I only know how to root and to change recovery and rom. and good to mention that neither of those i did on the zuk.
I am really out of options on how to solve it, and i need your help on this one.
ps:
*a friend of mine suggested "ADB" i am not quite sure if i wrote it right.. he said maybe i should give a try and boot the device using cmd...any guess how i am doing it?
Thanks in advance guys. Harel.
:good:

Try to boot into recovery and sideload the signed cos.zip. you can find the files in the forum. Also guide. Just search a bit through the threads

Hello
Hi,
i already tried to boot/enter ro recovery/etc but nothing succeeded so far phone was just black screen and dead.
anyway, today when i charged it again, suddenly it started charging and phone came back to life after about 1 week of death!.
how it that even possible?? you guys have any idea if this case is fimillar and happens a lot?? can i track down in some sort of log file what have just happend here?? any system log to check out?
thanks again guys.

I had the same problem and posted it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/zuk-z1/help/dead-charge-t3293760. My phone died after charging, too. What you write sounds very similar. I tried a lot of things but nothing helped to awake my Z1 again. Maybe your phone run out of energy after one week and reset itself through this way.

my device crashed again!!!
sup guys!
yesterday i was so happy that my zuk came back to life again. but then today after charging and using it it crashed and stopped as last time! . i am really disappointed! to be honest i have really no clue now of why and how this thing happens... i am not closing this thread with hope that someone will have any idea maybe about this thing..
