So my back button broke - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My back button isn't popping back up like the other buttons. Its stuck in the down position and to use it I have to press pretty hard. Is there hope to fixing this or replacing a broken part? Or can I just move the back button to lets say the genius button?

Why don't you just try button savior or soft key? Better than nothing...

I mean like a hardware fix. I bought the phone from Craig's list so no warantee :/

if you have no warranty, then open the phone up and re-alignh the button or see wats wrong

Thanks I just needed a push in the right direction. I was getting ready to open it up when low and behold it pooped back up and hasn't malfunctioned since. Which is great because the back button does so much on the mt4g

Don't tell them it came from Craigslist. I just had to do a swap on my son's Mytouch Slide and there were no questions asked about where I bought it.

What's wrong with my power button?

Does anyone else have an issue with their power button? It seems as if I have to push it down really hard now to turn phone off or restart phone. I have the white one if that means anything. No other problems until now.

Had that same exact problem when I had my white. I switched to black and the power button iz MUCH better. It sticks out more too so it makes the power button a breeze to push with no effort. Sometimes I push it just for the hell of it.

DZ: capacitive buttons unresponsive

litterally out of the blue about 2 days ago, the 4 capacitive buttons on the front simply do not respond to touch...
and EVERYTHING else is working fine, keyboard, display, trackpad, everything else is working w/o a problem...
the lights behind the buttons come on, but no response when pressed...
its currently running Unity 1.27 (since released)
ive tried the patch via CWM to remap the keys to no avail... i am going to try and get into titanium to run a backup of apps, then wipe and flash version 1.31 of unity hoping its a software issue...
the closest thing i found to my issue (DZ related) was an issue with the light sensor causing the backlght to act up, but that isnt whats going on here, so as of now im at a total loss...
any help or direction would be greatly appreciated...
Ok, I wiped, flashed and installed 1.31 and same thing... Crap it has to be HW related then...
Ideas?

If you are sure its hardware related, then try to unroot your phone and see if you can get a replacement from your carrier.

You need to buy them and replace them. They come as a set with microphone and vibrator attached. Very cheap on ebay. Middle plate has to be separated from glass to get to them.

only reason im leaning towards HW is because i already reflashed, and wiped the phone, and they still dont respond...
only problem is,im in FL-USA, and this came from canada... lol
buttons can be bought on ebay huh?
EDIT: would this be what im looking for?

And what to parts were those? I have the same issue. The button trackpad flex cable and digitizer were bad?
thanks

Power/lock button problem

Recently I just took my phone out of my pocket and noticed that my power button was pressed in and its very hard to press down. Should l send it in for a new one with warranty? Please help!!!!!!

I have the same problem. I called in about it last week and all their mytouch4g's are out of stock so they offered to send me a G2x but in my opinion the mt4g is way better. I just remapped the power button to the camera button and its working good for me.

This is a problem with some HTC phones. If the phone is still under warrantly, you should get it replaced.
Is there a way to fix this if you are not under warranty?
Here is the fix http://himax.ca/?p=96

[Q] Ever seen THIS issue before?

hey guys, my friend just got a MT4G, non rooted (no interest in rooting ).
and he was "showing off" to me today when his hardware buttons suddenly stopped working. only the trackpad worked when he scrolled using it. all the rest of the buttons stopped working
finally i had to do a battery pull and reboot.. not sure if that fixed the issue (class was starting lol). i'll ask him again on monday.
but just wondering, has any of you guys encountered this issue before?
he's got S-On, and the stock gingerbread 2.3.4.
Haven't heard that about the hardware? I have heard about stock froyo randomly deleting all text messages tho.

Kinda, the back button on my phone gets stuck sometimes to the point where I can't push it/use it.

Build quality on the mt4g was never the greatest.
My home button stopped working, so I sent my phone to HTC to have it repaired.

yup totally... but still, it's pretty weird... that's never happened to any of the three MT4Gs my family own.

Yea, I have the white one & my physical buttons suck. My back & other buttons often get stuck & my power button feels pretty loose. My battery door is also a little rickety. My boyfriend (i'm a girl, btw) has a black one & his buttons are much better, no sticking, no looseness. Kinda a crapshoot with these phones...

Keys can change for HD2?

Keys can change for HD2? My keys are already destroyed it all the time I click on them it gets hard and harder to have the option to replace them?
Try cleaning with a little rubbing alcohol...
If not successful, you might need a new key ribbon... its on ebay... to get to it, you have to take the whole phone apart that's including glass screen... not recommend doing this yourself if this will be your first time... take it to someone that have many experience in this field

Yea my power button is gone also, the infamous digitizer, I use a combo of Button Savior and Button Remapper. Not worried about it, its my second HD2, and I'm eligible for a upgrade, just waiting for T-Mobile to come out with something worth 2years.
I see... I'm using a g2x... not worth the hype... Im also waiting...

My nephew just got the G2x for free from Tmobile, a lot nicer than I thought, I was thinking Amaze 4g but changed my mind, not worth 2yrs.
