Hey my Touchbuttons on the bottom don't work.
I allready did a hard reset but it did not help.
Is there any way of a homebutton build into the software (like some androids have it)`?
Thanks
So, you can use the rest of the touchscreen (digitizer), but not the buttons on the bottom. I admit, I have this issue on my SparkW once in a GREAT while (both of them that I have used), but the entire digitizer stops working and I have to yank the battery to restart the phone, then it works fine.
Just the bottom buttons not working is weird though. Have you ever taken the phone apart, perhaps to install a higher capacity SDcard? Maybe a digitizer wire got loose then....
...other then that, warranty the phone if you can, if not, maybe you need to replace the digitizer?

after months of using my device, qtek s100, after a reinstall of windows (same that i'm installing everytime) when it tells me "tap the screen..." i tap, and ask me for calibrating. I'm calibrating him, and still ask for calibrating, with no end...the problem was manifested when the windows still worked and everywhere i was pressing, it was like i was pressing on Start everytime, even if i was pressing on clock for example. what should I do? pleaseeee
hello mate, why not try to upgrade your OS
hy. i've upgrade it to 1.13 which everytime worked. then i've upgrade it to 2.03 which has the same problem. does exists another OS to upgrade?
Ady_uaic, I also have that problem and FINALY i've figured it out...
above the LCD screen, there's a thin transparent glass screen (touchscreen), which has a small ribon that connects to your phone.
check this link for a picture of it: http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-Dopod-818-i...ryZ41343QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem (*)
The thing is...once, when i was opening my phone, i did a small cut on the ribon by mistake and now the screen behaves like that...I've found that if i gently push that touchscreen to the right, the ribon will sometimes bend a little bit and will make a perfect contact which allows me to keep the phone aligned...unfortunately this is only temporarely since sometimes the ribon moves and of course, the alignment is lost...So, i would advice you to check if the ribon is intact and not broken somewhere...if it is broken, then you know what to do: Buy a new touchscreen and/or an LCD w/ touchscreen included.
Hope this helps...
Regards,
Keeper
(*) although similar, do note that this touchscreen AIN'T for the magician, so don't order this one!
hello..thank you for your quick answer..i will try and i'll let you know
Sound like a hardware problem ... try flushing a new rom, if not , take it to a lab.
open up the device and reconnect the display ribbon wire properly after cleaning with a soft cloth.
the ribbon may disalign after a fall or dismantling the device and certain other factors.this is the only possible fault.if it doesn't workout, you may have to get the lcd changed.
Hi guys!
Long time no post!
I hope you can help point me in the right direction.
Two things started happening with my 8525 TyTN, rendering it unusable. I do have a backup one, so it's no panic. But I would LOVE to try to repair this.
Here's what happens!
1 - The two LEDs in front don't work! No green; no blue; no amber. (HOWEVER, When I first replaced the battery after a hard reset, I did see is glow red for a second!)
2 - None of the buttons on the front work! None. Start/End, the D-pad, mail, internet explorer. All dead!
Interestingly enough... the LCD screen is perfect, as is the touch screen.
The unit also works perfectly fine.
I did a Hard Reset.
I am using WM6.0.
I am wondering... PERHAPS there is some kind of ZIF cable that goes from the body to the top panel? MAYBE that came loose?
If you have seen inside your TyTN, is there one cable/ribbon for lights/buttons?
If so, that would explain it!
If there are two cables/ribbons.... one for lights, one for buttons, then the odds of them BOTH falling out are near impossible!
I would LOVE to hear any ideas or thoughts!!!
Thanks as always!!!!!

Hello and welcome to a new phone!
I have a similar problem, mine sometimes gets a white screen and the D-pad buttons rarely work for long.
It is quite possibly a loose ribbon cable.
There is actually a thread here about this issue - just do a search for 'white screen' or similar and you'll find it. It was posted to within the week so shouldn't be far from the top if you browse for it, but I can't remember which Herme's category it was in.
There's even a full guide with pics to pulling your 8525 apart!
Cheers! Oggy. ó¿ó
try a new rom,.
I have the same problem. I thought it was bcs my TyTN fell down once. It started with Iexplorer always popping up when I wanted to do something. I thought the IE button at the top was stuck or something and when I pressed hard on the message button everything was okay. All buttons worked. But after a few days they stopped working and pushing the message button wont work also. And both the red and green call button leds are always shining. It sometimes happens that the dpad works for a second and than nothing.
I used the original wm5 and flashed to 6.1 now, no change tho.
it's not the rom, tried several roms now
for me it's just the call answer button, but this is annoying enough
there are some topics in the hermes section which describe the problems you encounter or even worse problems (the lcd flickering or just giving you a bright shining white) and they all say it is a loose cable connector right under your dpad
some of them opened their tytn (guarante already gone) and put some sort of paper or rubber or sth else on the connector.
other say tighten or loosen the screews worked for them, but none of the solutions seem to be final, it always works for some time.
if you have still guarantee i would try sending back or try somewhere else a repair, that is what i will do with tytn
i hope i do not have to pay for the repair
good luck
Loose screw
I was able to fix this problem after ATT told me that I was out of warrenty and it was going to cost 499.00 for a new phone.
I it turn out it is a loose screw on the inside and to get to it you have to undue 11 screw to get to it. I might be able to fix it for you. I dought you would be able to get into this phone and not hurt any of the other functions.

Hi,
could you advise how you managed to fix it?
Thanks.
button failure and white screen
I have the same problems, if I turn off and on for 3/4 times everything back to normal. But is really annoying because I miss calls.
To me seems a software issue.... I can solve it by turning off the screen does not make sense hardware problems
have a look to this post:

I have still to test the suggestion of schaps advance config version 2.02.1.0.0
Sorry it not a software issue and you can flash a 100 roms and it still won't work. You simply have a bad flex cable and possibly a defective dpad circuit board. You have to crack open the phone to replace it and it has to be carefully done. There are tons of DIY's about opening the phone and replacing the cable. There are even YouTube Videos about it.
Hi,
I have recently bough a Nook Simple Touch with Glowlight (BNRV350). Used, no guarantee. It looks fine (has only a minor scratch on the light dispersing layer). Problem is - the lower half of the touch sensors give misplaced readings. For example - during the registration process I cannot get through the language selection screen. I can correctly mark English, but when I want to press an arrow to go further, Nook changes my mark to French, instead of getting me to the next screen. Cleaning borders of the screen with microfiber cloth and cotton swabs did not help.
I have another NSTG working fine, so:
1. I tried to copy its stock system backup and loading it to malfunctioning one. It didn't help. I could not even unlock the screen (although I could press "power off" or "cancel" buttons after holding power button).
2. I tried swapping mainboards (IR sensors are on them, not in the screen assembly). And It turned out, that wherever mainboard of the faulty unit is, the touch does not work properly. I tried to blow out the dust from those misbehaving sensors hoping that it just somehow got on the motherboard, but it did not help either.
So the question is: What else can I do to make those IR sensors work properly?
Thanks in advance for looking into the problem!
(Sorry for my English, I'm used to reading, not to expressing my thoughts with it.)
Maybe try to look on the sensors with a cellphone camera in dark room-then probably you will see which of the ir leds aren't working (if the problem is in leds not the sensors)

Unfortunately I couldn't find any camera able (tried mobile phone, point'n'shoot, DSLR...) to detect IR in their stock configuration (and messing up with disassembling the sensor filters seemed as not worth the case). I ended up buying another NSTG with shattered eink screen and salvaging its properly working mainboard (+completely fine battery, all for about $7). Problem solved. Kind of.
If you are having problems with the touch screen try using the app posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=52723066#post52723066
It may give you insight into where the problem is.
It will help us get an idea of where problems are occurring.
Thank You. I've read about Your program, but since I could not even unlock the screen or get past registration wizard (when trying to get that unit to factory state) I was unable to use it.
The Menu button (when you mapped) gets past the swipe.
You can start stuff with ADB intents.
Hi guys
I bought G2 with broken screen, replaced that with new screen - everything was fine. I did upgraded rom to higher version, after that screen become very difficult to operate. I had to press it very hard to make it work, and obviously no swipe option.
I disconnected all pieces and put together and there was no changes, however I realised that when I push back of the motherboard with force sometimes screen become responsive as normal, it works couple of seconds and become difficult again.
I have tried to localise the exact place when is a problem but it's like a lottery, sometimes it works in left corner, sometimes I have to twist motherboard a little bit.
I have read about motherboard problems on G2, but in this case it stopped to work after rom upgrade and it sometimes works fine so there is a chance to fix it I presume.
Any ideas folks?
Hey guys,
I recently changed the battery on my A2017G, I was very careful not to damage anything and to dismount everything properly.
After putting the phone back together, somehow it didn't want to boot anymore (bootstack screen, and then blinking red led with everything except fastboot).
I figured it was a software issue, since it got solved with a full EDL flash. I still don't know how a battery change could have messed that up.
But now, the right capacitive button (recent apps) doesn't react at all anymore. The home and previous buttons still work perfectly.
I flashed other EDL roms, did a full factory reset, or tried swapping buttons, nothing changes, still the right one isn't reacting.
I carefully checked all the flex cables and connectors inside the phone, they all seem as good as new, no scratch, bend or any other damage.
So my question is, could it be a software issue? Since the EDL full flash is not always doing things correctly...
If it's a hardware issue, I guess I could have messed up the screen flex cable without leaving a mark on it.
But wouldn't that prevent all the buttons to work?
I just want to be sure, before buying a new screen frame (those aren't cheap).
Thanks

You would need to buy a new screen (i.e. around $90) so I say you should start looking into gesture navigation or at least on-screen navbar if nothing works out... the capacitive sensors are affixed to the screen.
I usually had my Back button crap out, but weirdly enough it would start working either after doing a lot of pressure on it or after a reboot.
The capacitive button surely comes through the screen connector, did you check that?

Yes I did, it seems in perfect state.
My theory is that I might have accidentally put some pressure on this flex connector with my plastic tool, while trying to remove the battery.
There are no visible damages, but maybe it's just damaged inside.
Right now I'm using the MiPop, but it's less than ideal...
I wish there was a way to put the on screen softkeys back and disable de hardware ones.
Probably enabling the softkeys isn't that hard, but disabling the hardware ones... ?

Try Fluid Navigation Gestures, I'm currently on another phone with navbar and i'm using that. it's very nice and doesn't use screen space
To enable the navbar you should be on a custom ROM or at least on Chinese MiFavor, I'm not sure if it's possible on G/U systems and I recall not being able to enable the navbar on these
actually I just found that:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/axon-7/themes/a2017g-navigation-bar-enabler-disabler-t3740817
since I'm also using raystef66's custom rom, I guess it's perfect
