My MDA IS GOING CRAZY!! Every time I press the power button to take the phone off of the standby mode the phone seems to randomly just open up contacts and then try to delete one of the ones that are first on the list. Also the two soft buttons aren't working. the keyboard, some of the letters aren't working either, and every time i press the left softkey on the keyboard the menu on the right always opens up when I am on the internet. For some reason it just started acting like that when I increased the size of the cache. This one time all the keys worked for like 5 minutes the other day, then they went back to not working. I already did a virus scan and nothing came up, so yea. I am willing to pay if needed to the person through paypal, whoever helps me fix up my mda. NEED HELP!!!!
Have you tried updating to a newer firmware?
Are there any magnets in the immediate vicinity of the MDA?
I know it sounds crazy but even the magnet on the included t-mobile case can do things like switch the screen to landscape or bring up the calender.
It's just a thought and a possibility.
nope no magnets, and the rom is the 2.6 one, the newest rom, dunno what wrong with the phone, im willing to pay to fix it up. whoever helps me fix it up, i will pay them.
if i were you, (thankfully i'm not because i have had enough problems with my XDA!! lol) i'd do a hard reset, but i'll assume you can't do that because of the mind of its own issue, so power down the phone, and leave it on charge so there's atleast 50% battery in the phone. meanwhile, goto the t-mobile website and get the latest rom (or re downlownload the rom that's already installed...2.6 i think u said?) and try to upgrade using bootloader. todo this, hold the camera and the power buttons until a funny screen comes up, run the update utility, and then plug in the phone to the firewire cable (then onto the usb) on the first screen of the program (if that makes sense). then run the update utility and that should work.
there's no reason why it shouldn't. i had a similar problem with a se w800i about a year ago, and it turned out a button was stuck down, so check that.
i hope you get it sorted, as i kno how frustrating these phones can be.

Ok, you need to give more info. What IPL/SPL, Radio, version, etc. etc. What other steps did you follow? Downgrade to 1.08 unlock? CID unlock? Upgrade to 2.26? Then flash whatever ROM you are using...and which ROM is it? What other apps have you loaded? How old is the phone? Who is your service provider? What is your bank account number? (ok maybe we don't need that one haha) What SD card are you using? Have you dropped the phone?
--M
uuh, i haven't dropped the phone at all. Its unlocked, and I changed the network settings so that I get unlimited internet and other data transfers for free. I have Tmobile prepaid. Other than that I am going to try to hardware reset it, tried it already, it didn't work. So, I will try to update the rom, the phone is unlocked, so if I update the rom hopefully it wont become locked again.
It won't become locked again, it sounds like a hardware problem it is most likely a button or key on the keyboard is getting stuck and/or shorting every so often causing this behaviour.
Have you recently loaded any apps? Maybe changed the key settings? Deleted a file by mistake?
How large did you make the cache? What program did you use to change the cache? Did you change anything else besides the cache?
uuh i made the cache to 4 MB and I did change the settings for the IE but I changed them back, I used Resco Registry Editor, also I went to this website to find the registry tweaks http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/
Then I went to the 2 performace tweaks:
http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/speed_up_your_pocketpc
http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/increase_performance_speed
I also did this one on the IE using Resco Registry Editor:
http://www.pocketpctweaks.com/pocketpc_tweaks/change_pocket_internet_explorer_6
Other than that I haven't done any other ones, I tried overclocking by using a software called Omap Clock, but that software sucked, it would be overclocked for a while, and it would return back to the default speed whenever I would press the power button to put it on standby.
if i were you..
if you are willing to pay for those who ever fix you phone, i'd rather pay my nearest service center to fix my device.
Hello my mogul keyboard is having issues with the space key i either need to depress it really heard or it wont register and sometimes it double spaces. My other keys are working fine ever since i dled the keyboard fix but my space is still not working correctly. Help please T_T
no solution for this sorry... i also have it
Flash a new ROM so you can be sure it isn't a software glitch.
keyboard
my bottom row (space, function , period) started doing this on my mogul and i have to press harder. i took it into the store bc my 6700 did same thing when i had that phone and sprint guy said keyboards do this and need to be realigned. so i thought they would realign my 6800 but guy just pressed hard and could not 'reproduce' problem. but i showed him i couldn't do it with how i pressed.
anyways, just take it in, they will clean keyboard or replace. if you have plan.
Hello everyone,
I've only had the X10 for about a week. Everything was working fine. However, I'm starting to have issues with the three menu buttons at the bottom. I will power up my phone, and the buttons will work for about 5 minutes. Then the two LED lights between the buttons will just randomly shine one time (even though I did not press a key) and go off. Once they go off, and I try to press a key, nothing works. The LEDs don't come on, and none of the buttons work. Does anyone have any idea what might be going on? Like I said, this just started happening to me today. I really would appreciate any help, as I can't really use my phone right now in its current state! Thanks!

I would say try restoring your firmware and if that doesn't work then take it back and have it replaced!!!
Hey Findee,
Thanks for the suggestion. Can you tell me how I would go about restoring the firmware? I'm a little new with this.
Also, for what it's worth, this is an X10a (from at&t).
Yeah no worries
Install SEUS which should have come on the SD card and then hit Start under Support Zone then Software Update. Then just hit repair

Then once you do above and get the screen working again, you can do what i did and use attached program to remap one of the other buttons (i chose green phone button since i press the phone icon to use the phone anyhow) and remap it to function as the power button and never worry about the screen again
To install: download to computer, then use adb install to install.
Or the simple way, just download straight to phone, navigate to the downloaded folder using a file explorer(astro works well found on the market) and launch it through the file explorer to install.

Yep, I have tried that.... pushing the end button a zillion times. It use to work before, but now it doesnt. I tried the end button, the call button, sliding over the other keys, just tapping on the unlock keys on the screen... but nothing. i do it so much, i pretty much start banging on the keys.....ummm... not sure if that made it worse??
is there anyway i can just reset my phone.... perhaps flash a new rom. I really dont care what is on my phone at this point. phone numbers not saved on sim can be replaced.... i dont care about anything else as far as apps. i just want to be able to use this phone again, whatever it takes. not sure if this is even possible without unlocking the screen first. i am so frustrated i wanna let my rottweiler accidently chew it up, just so i can get a new phone...
i know there is some smarty pants out there that can figure this out... help me pleeeeeeeeeeze!!!!

Nope. Its pretty much hosed. These are classic symptoms of the digitizer cable losing connection with the main board. Pressing the red End key forcefully can sometimes mate the connection back, but otherwise if that doesn't work nothing will. If you're feeling brave, you can take apart the phone piece by piece and reassemble it. That might do the trick. Else, you have to replace the digitizer.
Ok... first of all, what is a digitizer?
Also, is there any way I can connect it to my computer via usb and try to remove the files that i put on there for the rom.... that would just make it a windows phone again. Because Im confused.... is this a phone malfunction or a file issue?

Can you get to the bootloader (stripey screen)? If so, then just flash a stock WinMo ROM from there and it should work.
Well I am able to restart the phone after I take the battery out. So there is a point at the startup while its loading, it says 1-2-3-4 Go Go Go. Not sure if there is anything I can from there.
Oh btw... for a brief few minutes yesterday, the phone did unlock. I got so excited that I started reading all my text messages I missed over the passed 2 weeks and also reviewing missed phone calls. And by that time, the phone locked again. No luck since.

Take the battery out, put it back in then hold down the power (end call) and volume down buttons. From here, you can flash a stock ROM via the USB port or flash a stock ROM via your SD card

If you remap the call button to the power button, as lung as you don't hit the end key anymore your screen should stay working. It has for me

You can eitherdownload to computer, the use adb install to install the program, or download to your phone and use a file browser to navigate to your downloads and install from there. Downloading to your phone is probably the easiest for beginners.

Ok, I can try that. But I am still waiting to get this phone screen to unlock. I guess I cant do anything until then.
Hey everyone,
First of all thank you for taking a look in my thread, this is my second post here in this forum but, I just have to tell you guys, I've been around since 2012 and you guys rock!
Anyway enough of chit chat, so I had my phone pretty much hard bricked, thanks to some tutorials I've finally found a way to get it back to life BUT ( there's always a but ), it isn't like before, everything was working very nicely after the fix, the Power button stopped working, the volume rockers are still fully functional but the power button isn't. So I thought "f*ck this, I gotta buy a new flex assembly", that's what I did, it arrived today, so I got to work and put it all together with the new button, but for my surprise it is EXACTLY de same as before, so it seems like it has nothing to do with the flex assembly/buttons itself but something more like motherboard or something..
Have any one of you guys had this issue? By the way another very interesting thing is that the buttton "still gives signal" since if I press on it, it doesn't do anything even with the phone off BUT, if I have the phone turned on, and I press it for 5+ seconds , it shutdowns the phone as it should! So why isn't it working when I do a press, but if I hold it works?
By the way my phone when died even the partition table got corrupted, so I even had to redo that could it have anything to do with it?
Oh and the basic tips of putting the phone in Download Mode and fully revert to stock didn't work, already did it many times since I brought it back to like..
Regards, and thank you for reading this LONG post and spending your time with me :silly:
Anyone got any clue please?..

Hi, i has been a long time until you wrote this topic, but now, in 2018, i got the same problem that you.
I bricked the phone, unbricked with some xda's tutorials, install a kdz image and system got ok, but the damn power button not work.
It work on a very specific moment that is when the phone is on and i press the button, after 5 seconds the phone turn off, but none menu appears, it just turn off. Besides, it won't work to turn on the device. In this case, i aways need to put the cable and when the LG log appears I must remove (if not, the battery symbol is shown, and the device not turn on).
I wonder if you were able to fix your phone or someone of xda had this problem.
Thanks
Nope never got it fixed just moved on and bought another device, besides that is now a outdated device..
