Hello!
I damaged my recent app button's sensor cable while replacing my screen. Afterwards I ordered a new usb board, but interestingly that didn't solve my issue, so I assumed that something else got damaged on my mainboard. Anyway I closed up my phone and glued the screen in place without a working button.
Can anyone help me with remapping my home button so that a double or long press would open my recent apps?
Thank you all in advance!
just use the tool that puts the buttons on screen
tasker's "assistance request" trigger can be tied to long-press-home so you can use it for all kinds of stuff.
for me it opens the dialer.

My problem is that my back button has stoped working. It is a pretty important button to have and I used it a lot. Is there a way to get this fixed? I have opened my phone and the little sticker over the T6 screw is removed so does that mean its voided? My other option would be to change the action of the home button to be the action of the back button. If that is even possible how would I do that? Thanks for any help.
Okay, so basically heres the story. Idiot makes me drop my phone on cement horsing around while I was taking a video, cracked my digitizer. Get someone to replace digitizer and he cracked the lcd screen, replaced that too and lost the button pad for the bottom: call/back/home/power.
As of a week or so ago, the CONTACT PAD for the power button fell off, so now I can't use the power button at all. If it shuts down, its game over for my phone. Is there a fix that I can use? Can't really afford a new phone or a new mobo for the hd2 now.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
What are you using android,winmo? If its android you can use the app "button remapper" and remap the hardware buttons.
Tried the app I found, it didn't work.
Is there a "free" button remapper that works?
Button remappers only work once the OS is loaded up. It won't do anything for the power button if your phone turns off (full power-off).
Solution: Make idiot buy you a new phone.
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?
hello all im having a problem and wish to get some input on what the problem may be
my hd2 has been ****in up to say the least i installed a new miui rom on it after having touchscreen problems and the weird thing is i can get the touch screen to respond after holding the the green call button and the home button for one second making the flashlight turn on then holding the back and end buttons for one second waiting for the screen to turn off then turn back on
my question is does this have something to do with the kernel or power consumption it seems it might be the case but im no expert
what do you think?
Try to press once or twice the endcall (red) button. There is a common problem with the Leo's digitizer and it is located under the endcall button. So press it hard. It used to help me.
I suggest you to install button savior or any app with softkeys to preserve the physical buttons.
Greetz,
Dodi
damn that definitely helped it along
thanks
the problem still exist but at least i can use the phone
alas i think its time to move on
that sucks i really liked my phone
Not responding touch screen
Is the keypad fully connected with the touchscreen? Because my keypad flex cabel is broken, and my digitizer doesn't respond. Do i need to buy a new digitezer or just flex cabel? Can somebody help me? Thanks
i haven't checked the good thing is i have a spare digitizer but its a hassle still ill probably end up trying eventually
Hello,
My home button (and fingerprint along) had died so I disassembled the phone to see how it's made and discovered that most likely if I wanted to replace the home button, I would have to replace the whole front panel (screen) because home button is bonded to the front panel. Is there a way to separate the home button from the screen? If yes, how is this possible? I need some advice from people who were in the same situation as me and managed to get it done correctly.
Thanks!

But where will you get another home button and how will you connect it to the screen?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I would get it on aliexpress, there are lots of people selling it. It has a connecto, that's not a problem. The only problem is separating the button from the screen.
