Buttons do not work?

Hi, I recently hard reset my HTC Vogue (Bell Mobility) and for some strange reason, whenever I put the phone to sleep (power key on the top) it stays there permanently, no keys work, nothing will wake it up. Any ideas?

try start settings system key lock.

tried that, same results when I turn the keylock off. I think it's my ROM though, I need to find an official Bell ROM to flash back to.

I'm pretty sure it's your ROM. Many users have had the same issue with the Alltel ROM.

I'm having the same problem.
Only thing is i used the file listed on these forums as being shipped in box for my Sprint. Everything else works fine except this and it used to work before. Only reason i used the one listed here as official is that i had a bad flash with the Alltel rom. It's supposed to be the official Sprint one. If anyone has any ideas it would be greatly appreciated. I'd hate to reflash because it took 2 hours just to put back my contacts manually and all the other programs i had in there originally.
Nevermind..I turned off the auto time synchronize with mobile network button as suggested in another link and it works so far.

"turn over" sensor problem

Hi All,
I have problem with turn over sensor. I had this sensor on, and anytime when I received voice call phone stoped ringing and vibrating (only shows on screen that someone is calling me). But its doing it at random times.
When I switched off this sensor everything is fine. Phone is ringing....
I think, that is problem of sensor in my device.. Or it is software bug.
Thanks for your interest.

nobody?????

Try to recalibrate your accelerometer and Gyrosensor
Settings -> Display -> Bottom two ones

still the same... but when calls me one my friend (I tried to call me from his mobile) everything is OK.... It might be some thing in contact.. some information.. I dont know.. Or this sensor...

to be continue...
hello
i got the same problem, i can't pass "turn over" test
i wonder if it's hardware or software problem, i just put it in my shop lab and i hope 2 get more info about it.
I'd like to know please if there is another users with similar phenomenon and were able to overcome that issue, ty

Testing Mode?
Try the gyroscope test:
Start the standard phone app
type in *#0*# as you would a phone number. This brings you into testing mode, select gyroscope and have a look at the numbers.
There are also test modes: Settings -> Motion -> Tutorial

fix
The device was replaced in the store where it was purchased, everything is fine now.
i don't have the info of who or what was the problem.
ty for the tip arabbitte, too late 4 me
Thanks

Hello,
thanks, I tried to test by graph, and everything seems OK. I dont understand it...

Same problem here
Hello,
I have the same problem as PetoG, I think it is a problem with the sensor working with the vibration on. As tested on my sgs2, when I turn off the "turn over" or the "vibration" options one at a time, everything works as expected.
@ fatalit7, thanks for your reply but I think your issue was that the sensor was not working at all.
I am very much interested in any solutions to this problem.. And if it is really a hardware problem, guess we can only try to change the phone.
Thanks and regards

Hi kayamemet,
after update on 2.3.4 is everything OK. It seems it is solved. I have to test several times.

Still does not work
I've updated to 2.3.4 (xxkh3).
After several tries the problem persist. Quite annoying really.
So "vibration" is the enemy of "turn over" :S.
Any new remarks?

I've updated to XWKI8, still not good ...
anyone? anything?

ok, I've also tried the tutorial mode and it is also bad. It detects a turn over while it is laying down and vibrating.
Id really appreciate any "intel" on this matter, I'm kind of desperate.
Thanks

I've lost the use of the Home and Menu buttons

I must have pressed something I shouldn't (I'm not sure what), but, I've lost the use of the Home and Menu/Recent Apps buttons.
The Back button works OK and so does the fingerprint scanner.
Without doing a factory reset, is there a way to restore them?
I've rebooted and pulled out the battery etc.
910f and rooted 4.4.4 stock ROM
Thank you.

Sounds like a "interaction control" option.
Have a look in settings/accessibility if you have interaction control turned on.
In lollipop it is in settings/accessibility/dexterity and interaction/

Thanks for your help.
I've had a look and that is switched off.

try a factory reset, worst case you have to visit the service center.

Help S7Edge Nougat - Two finger scroll/tap (talkback off) won't go away

Hi together,
just was able to update to upgrade to Nougat. (O2 Germany)
I just have one big problem. I have to control the screen like Talkback is activated. But it isn't. (two finger scroll, tap and so on)
Does anybody have an idea how I get rid of that really annoying thing? If possible without factory reset. My Phone isnt rooted.
My Google and forum search hasn't helped me. The answers were always turn off Talkback, which it is already.

I had the same problem yesterday after the update, took some time to change back to normal behavior: restarted in safe mode, changed the resolution back to WQHD, changed some accessibility settings, like turning it on for Nova Launcher and turn off optical reader (I don't know why it was turned on...). After that I restarted to normal and seemed to work ok but then I turned on the accessibility feature optical reader again, too see what it does and the screen was only with 2 finger operable again, so I turned it off.
You can disable/remove Talkback in the application settings. Try in safe mode if it's not possible in normal mode. I tried to change the Talkback settings in the system settings (searched for Talkback) and it said in a pop-up that it isn't compatible with the system, so I removed it completely.

Thank you so much norti!!!!!!!!! Had the same issue with S7 (T-Mobile USA), and your advice helped!!! Actually, it was the only one I could find so far

Thank you Norti
Thank you so much. I had the same problem after performing the software update over night last night. I was so frustrated with it and the techs at the sprint store spent an hour with my phone and could not fix it. The techs recommended that I back up all my contacts and everything and then do a factory reset. I did not want to do a factory reset and searched the internet for a long time before coming across your post. I turned off optical reader and it fixed the two finger problem. Thank you so much for sharing this as I would have been lost without it.

Exactly the same happened with my S7 edge, almost drove me crazy before I figured out that it was Optical reader in accessibility that caused the problem.

That worked
Thank you for the correct fix post. Optical Reader off did it for me, too. Spent all morning wading through "Cool features of Nougat" and getting ready to break my S7 while calls were coming in...

I figured that it had to be the optical reader as that was one of the incompatible apps it reinstalled after the upgrade. Had to use two fingers to get through most menu-options, frustrating, to manage to disable it. Glad to see I wasn't the only ripping my Hair out experiencing this issue. Hope they fix it.

For future reference (in German):
This works:
Einstellungen > Eingabehilfe > "Text & Bildscanner": turn off ("Aus")

Huawei P8 Lite - missing on screen buttons and notification bar

Hello!
It's been while since this happened. I am not sure if this happened when I updated the phone or not.
The thing is that I don't have any buttons on my screen and notification bar is missing. I have tried using different
launcher, adjusting screen resolution (or something), trying to fix it via PC. But then comes another problem. My PC does not recognize mobile at all. I tried connecting with ADB, but It says that device is unauthorised. I also tried dialing number that opens connection settings on phone and everything is ok, but it doesn't help at all.
So I did factory reset and hard reset, but nothing.
Please help
Sorry for my bad english guys.

Can you attach some screenshots of the problem? Are you using a stock or custom ROM and which version?
Access the Accessibility menu via Settings and check these options:
1. Magnification Gesture: OFF.
2. Display size: Default.
