I replaced the digitezer and the back button (and sometimes the menu button, but mostly the back button) keeps pressing itself.
I get the heptic feedback as if I pressed the button, but I never did.
I took another look at my installation and everything looks good. I added some electric tape between the cables for the back and menu buttons to prevent shorting, I run a factory reset on the phone but the issue remains.
Does anyone know how to fix it?
I'm running android 5.0.1

Hi All
My power button on my phone is stuck down, It not longer sticks out. I can still get it to work if i push it down with the stylus.
I stuck a pin down each side of the button to ensure the button was not wedged under any part of the case but this has not resolved the issue.
Im not sure what to do and it is starting to become annoying.
Has this happened to anyone else and if so, how did they fix it?
Thanks
Fixed
My button is fixed. No idea how. I just pulled it out of my pocket and went to press the button and it was back to its old self again.
So if anyone has a broken button in the future, just give it a day or two and it will probably fix itself
Thanks All

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You are exactly lucky.....the power button on my device has not been working for more than half of a year and I have to use a programs to soft rest or hard rest my device. The only problem is that I can't flash the rom without the power button if I'd like to.....
My phone kept freezing on the CHT Lock screen today and I couldn't get passed it. So I was holding it, plastic fork in one hand, phone in the other, not realizing I was also pushing one of the volume buttons and hit the red button with my plastic fork at Chipotle.
All of the sudden my phone rebooted to a screen that looks like a Rom Flashing screen with the weird bars of color. As soon as I saw this I hit the end button and it turned off. Then I started it back up and it was fine.
Just wondering what holding the volume button and hitting the red reset button at the same time do.
Thanks.
Sounds like a Hard Reset
Sounds like you initiated a hard reset. Volume up would have continued the process. Does not sound like there was any harm done!
Thanks. That's good to know. Hard Reset wouldn't have been the end of the world since all of my contacts are on my exchange server and all of my data is on my card and backed up on my pc.
Yeah that would come in pretty handy if that is the only you would be able to do a hardreset...if you where stuck and needed to bring your phone back!
My DHD Home & Search buttons, and occasionally the back button also, stop working after a while. Sometimes its only a few minutes after a soft reset, other times it may take an hour or so before it happens.
With the Home button, the screen just flashes when I press it but nothing happens - it doesn't go Home. With the Search button, nothing happens at all.
When I soft reset the DHD the buttons then return to normal for a while, but I've been unable to determine what causes it. I've run virus checks, and they are ok.
It doesn't affect the Menu button.
Any ideas?
I just bought a used hd2 yesterday, and it came with magldr with ultimate droid rom 3.3. I found out that none of the physical button acts as a Menu and Back button which makes navigation and menu access very hard. I even changed roms but still same thingn
My question is, is hd2 don't map physical keys as menu and back? Or is my unit actually defective? All the buttons work though, only that the Window and Home button does the same thing while Back and End button turns off the screen.
Thanks in advance!
Update: I have manage to get the menu (window) button working, but the back button is more trickier.. it seems thatt the physical button is actually pressing other keys.. in this case when I pressed the Window button for menu.. it will actually press the Home button which will bring me back to home screen. And for the back button, its actually pressing the End button, although I did manage to get it to press its back button, but its quite difficult. Does anyone knows how to fix this?
reply back button
I think that u may have a faulty back button or that dirt got under it thefe are guides on here xda that show u how to fix back button etc but it requires you taking phone apart and you need to read guides totally and follow steps there are also guides on youtube as well. It also sounds that the buttons might have been remapped there is an app called button remapper that allows you to change what the physical buttons do like the phone button back button etc do in other words you can change what every physical button on your hd2 does like for example the volume keys you would be able to change to back button etc. Read about button remapper on google before attempting to use app hope this helps you.
That's a common issue in the HD2, probably your device is defective.
Don't bother with the warranty, replacement and all that stuff since the back and menu aren't required for flashing or entering bootloader mode.
Just download "zMooth" app from market. (Pro version will give you End & Search)
I would prefer fixing the physical keys as they are important functions that is required in order to navigate around. Any links to how to fix the buttons? I think they are just misaligned because of prolong usage. Because multiple tries proves that it can still work.
Update: I have seen the official tutorial video for disassmbling the HD2, to just replace the keypad flex ribbon requires one to go very deep inside the phone before you can actually access the flex ribbon for the keypad. Now i am thinking twice to repair the physical button, let alone give an unofficial service guy to replace it.
@Marvlesz
I have installed zMooth, nice app.. but take some time getting used to. thanks!
or you can try a cm7 rom and use the tablet tweak soft keys in the options.
u can use button savior to replace all buttons .. it's a must have for me ..
Does anyone know if physical button problem such as mine are caused by the wear and tear of the flex cable or is it because of the plastic buttons itself?
I've tried
http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-2/general/guide-oneplus-2-home-button-dead-t3324321
none of the solutions worked while I was on Seraphs CM13.
There wasn't any on-screen buttons even in the buttons menu, so then I decided to flash Oxygen back on it because I know there was on screen buttons. After getting Oxygen 2.2.1 back, I tried to call *#808# and it would just lag and nothing would show up. Now the phone keeps restarting on it's own, power button doesn't make the clicky sound anymore however I'm able to feel when it's pressed down and I'm not sure if the power button is the cause of it. Not sure what to do from here, should I just contact OnePlus? It's been several months with my phone.
Same here
The home button on this phone is a capacitative one, it should not make any clicking sound as it's static.
Probably your home button and/or IC circuit just died for you like many others (me included). I swapped the button myself, as I'm pretty used to repairing phones myself, but that alone didn't fix the home button so it's probably the speaker IC or flex cable going up to the mainboard that's gotten fried by static electricity through the button.
