hey everyone.
My wife has a problem with her UP button on her phone. The DOWN works fine but pressing UP doesn't do anything. I tried to clean it as best I could but it didn't help at all. Anyone ever have this problem or have any idea what I can do?
Thanks lots =)
Was it nasty from her dirty fingers?

I guess that was a good try at a witty response but it just didn't work. Better luck next time.
If anyone has any ideas I would appreciate it.
lol at the attempt to troll. The hardware button might just be wearing thin, try disassembling and cleaning with a qtip? worked for my power button
yea, thanks. That was my next move. Just wanted to see if anyone else had similar problems before I started unscrewing stuff.
cheers
let us know how it goes

hey guys, I got HD2 about 3 months ago and now it started to act weird even though I was taking a real care of it.
the thing is, the volume button (the up one specifically) keeps pressing by itself ALL the time! it is not letting me do anything with the phone cuz it keeps showing me the volume screen.
so if anybody please have any idea how to fix this or to disable the volume button forever! I called the HTC technical support but they had no idea how to fix it.
thanks.
wow! no replies!!... shame
Sorry to say this but I think the only solution is bring phone to assistence
If the button remains "locked" probably there is something wrong in the internal cover that needs to open the phone to resolve but if you done so you loose warranty
Only thing You could try is to give the rocker a hard blow with pressure air (like for cleaning notebook keyboard). Maybe a lot of dust is stuck in there ?

I've been told to do so, even though i dont have a warranty, but I still wanna try to fix it. those assistants take SO much money!

Hey XDA ..
My Legend have been doing a pretty weird thing lately.. Sometimes when I press the Menu button, it thinks I'm holding the Volume Down button. And of course it switches to silent mode and starts vibrating like hell ..
It stops when I press Volume Up or Menu. Afterwards won't any of the 2 and home buttons respond
After a little break or a reboot, it all goes back to normal... Well only sometimes ..
I think it is a software problem, so I did a hardreset but it didn't solve anything ?
My Legend was all stock with Android 2.1 .. It was not rooted or anything ..
I don't really have an idea what this is caused by.. so does any of you know wtf is going on or have a solution ?? Cause it pretty annoying
Thanks !
Sometimes pressing menu and back at the same time causes some really weird things to happen. I'm not sure of a solution, but it's always been a minor issue for me too. Although never in the same way as yours, not that bad.
Never had that problem before. But I do have the menu + back button issue, not a big deal though. My advice is your send your phone for warranty and have them check it out.
It did it several times yesterday and had to reboot all the time ..
Mine doesn't really seem to have that back and menu problem.. But what is it doing? Maybe I have the same issue without knowing it ?
But yeah could send it back for a check ...

Hello,
I have the same problem.
I don't think its a software problem I rooted the phone to sereral roms even froyo (azure).
Now I'm back to stock 1.31.405.
I'am thinking to send it back for warranty but i'm afraid they won't do anything or see that i rooted the phone.
Please keep me update what your are going to do about it or if you find solution.
Nice to know I'm not alone
I don't really know what to, and I'm was kinda hoping that some of you could help Cuz I'm not really pro at Android yet
But it haven't done it the last 2 days which I find really weird!

I think i'm gonna send the phone back.
I made a video to show the guys at the store what the problem is:
http://nl.tinypic.com/player.php?v=25i0i00&s=7
If someone has any suggestions to make it dissapear thx
I also have the menu+back issue, maybe it is a feature (lol)
It is really weird: you push both buttons and the phone shakes and lags a little bit and after few seconds it vibrates three times. I have no idea why...
PS: I have not found any info googling about this.

Mine does the exact same problem After a couple of minutes of usage, the problem suddenly appears..
But I dont seem to have the Menu & Back problem ..?
Piacer pls keep me updated ..
I made a video too
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WFWdOVopeDQ
But I'm also considering to send it in..
Had a very similar problem with my first legend. It didn't happen with the menu button but the volume was constantly being turned down, as if I was holding the volume down button. Brought it back for a replacement and have had no trouble with my new one.

Same problem for me!
if anyone have a clue, please help.
My warranty is in thailand... too far
I have the exact same problem. I tried everything. I even sent my phone in for repair and they "fixed" it and sent it back but it still has the exact same problem.
It seems like a hardware problem with these phones.

Damn i'm just going to send my legend for repair(first i will try out froyo).
I hope it will be fixed, not like yours
Hey
Have anyone of you got Froyo yet ? Just to see if it solved the issue ?
My Legend is unbranded so no Froyo for me yet .. But hope I get it in a couple of days
Mine is just back from warranty, they just put new software on it. Played one hour with it and it seems normal.

After reading this thread I just realised holding Menu brings up keyboard..
I read somewhere that the pressing back + menu button thing is a way of producing bug report for ppl who are using custom rom? im not sure if custom launcher does that too though...
when i press menu and back nothing happens to me, stock 2.1 and sense.
Same here, nice to know

I read that in the Cyanogen nightly thread also. Not too sure where the file ouput would be though, so its hard to check.
E.E.
So recently my HTC HD2 touch screen has been working on and off.. Sometimes it would work and sometimes it dosen't?? I have searched on Google for help but everyone gets different answers on how to fix it. Some say its a hardware problem, others say it is a Rom thing, and most say just send it back to HTC or your provider to get it fixed. But I dont have a warranty on mine anymore, and I live in Canada & use rogers, so they don't carry the phone?? So I am really stuck and have thought of a couple solutions but would like to ask you XDA forum people if it has worked for you??
I was thinking mine is a digitizer problem so I post some pics here to ask if anyone else gets these problems? and if so how it might be fixed
I also thought of buying a new Digitizer from ebay and replacing mine?? has anybody that and been successful with that??
http://cgi.ebay.ca/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=350480051781&category=43304&_trksid=p5197.c0.m619
Thank You for reading and taking your time to help me
The pictures at the bottom if you notice the opinion menu should not have a selected silent mode when I haven't pressed it. and the home screen should not have the light blue button lite up because I haven't pressed it?? (its in the corner of the screen) and the last pic if i am correct the "turn on usb storage" should not be blue it should be white since i haven't clicked it..
Did you find a solution to your problem? The same thing happened to my sisters phone just recently. Did replacing the digitizer work for you? Somewhere I read that pressing the end button hard enough to 'nudge' the digitizer (which is located under the end button) fixes the issue. For how long and how much truth is in that? I don't know haven't tried it.
hey!
i had the same exact problem, my htc suddenly stopped working (touchscreen) and it was weird because I never spilled any water on it, so I tried what you said, pushing hard the red button and it worked! at least it worked for me
pressing hard on the end button works for me
Hi thanks for the tip. this works for me for now...
wonder is this a sign that it is going to wear off soon.
CRAZY!!!! It worked!
Wow! Thanks alot for the tip, screen fixed again..
Where id this red button?
I think it is or POWER button or red small restart button under battery cover.

And it worked...
i had this problem today
i stripped the phone down and the flex cable was not connected properly so i pushed it all the way in and now the screen is fully working,
only bad thing is that i snapped the volume flex cable so now i cant navigate through magldr ???

I am amazed that this actually worked! I pressed it with my teeth a few times and the screen is now fully working again!! Before I found this thread I was on the phone with T-Mobile already setting up an exchange for a new phone. Which normally they would send you a new HD2 but T-Mobile no longer has the HD2 so they make you choose from the LG MyTouch, Samsung Exhibit 2 and the HTC Radar. I was soooo ****ing pissed because none of those phones are customizable like the HD2. I did a hard reset on my phone so now I'm redownloading all my apps...pain in the ass but at least I get to keep my phone.

Okay, I might have gotten excited too soon. Cause now the touch screen is on and off working...I don't know what to do. I don't want a ****ty new phone. I want my beloved HD2.
it worked for me too...awesome thanks yall
EDIT: worked temporarily for me, touchscreen stopped working after few minutes
Mine is on/off working but I've found that screen works as long as end button is not used, when I use the red button I have to wait until it sleeps to wake it with any other button instead. Maybe a couple of times before finally get it to work.
Don't know if its related. Thanks in advance.

For everyone with this problem, It means that your hard buttons are wearing out, getting sticky. Its like if the esc key on a keyboard gets stuck, nothing can be done because it keeps esc'ing, well the same applies here on the HD2. Sh*t happens. Sorry.
I love this forum
I LOVE U ALL
COZ UMKE MY PHONE COMES ALIVE , & ME 2
THANK U ALL SOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH
thank you for above information
Thanks a lot, htc hd2 is in live again!
Thanks a lot, Htc hd2 is in live again!
After experiencing the same issue, I was also ready to buy new one, maybe Htc Desire HD.
I was running MIUI GB, I done hard reset several times, I downgrade the phone to W6,5, but nothing Happen, I went to HTC but the phone wasn't anymore under waranty and they ask me €240.00 to fix it, then I decide to change by myself the touch screen + Digitizer €45.00 average on Ebay, and/or keypad key button flex ribbon cable parts €7.00 average on Ebay.
And then waiting for the parts I'd just install Screen off an d Lock Apkdecided to don't use anymore the power red button until that I saw this thread. To simple to be true, but I tried, and it works, not every time but most of the time.
So it is just to change the keypad key button flex ribbon cable parts €7.00 average on Ebay.
Thanks again to all of you.
Screen Issues
My screen froze up occasionally as well. Seemed like more of a software issue rather than hardware; however, when I replaced the screen it went away completely.
cannot beleive it worked
pushed really hard on tghe call end button and now the key touchscreen works. God bless the internet.
So for some reason, the last few days the touchscreen on my phone was being super slow, and id have to turn off the screen, then turn it back on multiple times and keep trying to slide it to unlock. I dont know how this started. Ive been using the NexusHD2-Gingerbread V2.9.
Ive tried other ROMs and restored previous backups and nothing is working. The screen is still not responsive. Ive never had this happen before and not sure what else to do. Its just stuck on the lock screen but everything is unresponsive....any ideas???

Unfortunately, your touchscreen digitizer is dying. This is related to the hardkey malfunction. The only thing you can so now is flash back to stock WM Tom and send it back for repair. The phone's touchscreen need to be replaced.
Good luck,

Yeah thats what ive been reading, and right after i started this thread i was reading on another and read that you can fix it if you hold the power button down firmly (apparently the digitzier is right behind it)....that worked for me.
I think too much flashing and changing ROMS using the power button didnt help hehehe

Try using zMooth or Button Savior. This help your hardkey a lot. Since I have zMooth and Button Savior install on my phone, I no longer have to use the hardkey.

for how long (holding of power button) ????
{edit}
!!!!! FIND SOLUTION !!!!!
The digitiZer is under the hangup button. press the button bit hard till it nudges the digitiser a little. it worked for me.
(found it from : http://www.htcphones.net/htc-hd2-problems-with-touchscreen/ )
I'm so cool now!!
I have been living on this solution for almost 2 months now.
However I can't take it anymore not because I am lazy!
but because when sometimes you need to make a quick call or grab that
camera instantly I tend to waste a good 5 minutes trying to make that hardpress on the end key work with the digitizer cable.
My question is, would changing the digitizer work? or is it something else?
Ever noticed that T-Mobile HD2 has soldered digitizer connection to the LCD vs. flex-cable socket in standard Leo?
been looking for a long time now and still cant find a way to keep the three buttons (home, back and menu) lit while the phone is awake. can anyone help with this? please only respond if you actually know for sure, not just suggest adjbrightness/tell me its fine with the lights off etc, or if someone can make it happen i can def donate to them.
thanks
I believe its part of froyo update. I have not seen anyone overcome this issue. I just got used to it.
