Sadly, if it isn't something simple like the plastic of the case getting stuck, it will probably need repair. I find that once these types of buttons 'collapse' inside, there's really no way to fix them other than be replaced.
Did you spill something sugary on it that could just be gummed up inside? If so you may be be able to clean it.

I can't remember spilling sugar on it, but if it was the case, how should I clean it then?
Thanks for your response!
If you don't remember spilling something like juice or Coke on it, the button is probably just broken ;(

Hello to all,
I have a HTC 3600 with the rom “Karmba_a 7.2 eLiAs EN-20000” for a long time and everything was working great, until last Friday when it stop vibrating as it was suppose to do when receiving a call.
After trying lots of things I decided to reflash it. And it’s still the same, does not vibrate.
Does anyone have any idea what might be the problem?
Thanks in advance

Changing motor vibrator needs to go to repair.
How can see bord to see if there is humidity? Does not look like a easy operation.

it may cause of the loosen screw which stick the vibrator with the phone. I have this happen before, you can try open the case and screw it back or take to some repair shop.

That was it! Everything is working fine again.
Thank you enduromen and ctrlaltdel.
Well, I'm having the same problem again, sometimes vibrate, sometimes don't.
And I can hear something loose inside the phone maybe it's the screw that stick the vibrating motor.
Can anyone tell me if there is a tutorial for opening the phone and check that out?
Thanks in advance

take a look
unscrew (inside trinity 1.jpg; screw circled with red) and open the cover, then you will see the vibrator and the screw that stick the virbator with the MB (inside trinity 2.jpg; circle with red). Screw it back and done.

Thanks for the suggestion
I've tried flashing a new rom, as well as trying a different headset... same deal
(I however haven't tried if those headsets work with other phones... so I'll try to do that next to make sure I'm not unlucky to the point where both mics dead)
Had a similar problem today--erratic vibrating and occasional strange noises. Thought it was the ROM that I had just reflashed but thankfully stumbled onto this thread - it was the very loose screw! Thanks for the advice.
Just to add a little levity, here's a solution that you probably didn't think of and most likely wouldn't have thought you needed. But... it's a funny idea, nonetheless...

My trinity also stoped vibrating.
Same here, and fixed it now.
Thanks astroganger for asking this question.
And everyone how answered
what kind of tool did you use for the screws?

One word of warning: There's also another screw under the stylus. Don't forget that one when you dissasemble or it might break.

The tool needed can be bought at most electronics stores, ie: Radio Shack, etc...
It is a #6 Torx driver. Also called T6 Might find it at Auto Parts store, but not sure, it's pretty small...
It seems the stopped vibration is almost always the loose screw. Mine fell completely out and was wedged against the vibrating motor, stopping it's rotation. After the phone was open, it was an easy fix.
Hello folks,
I spilled some juice over my legend and now it does not vibrate any more. Also the keys are stuck a little now - but i think that is the smaller problem.
Do you now what moduls i need to replace and where I can order them? I am planning on desembling the legend to clean the keys and other parts.
Many thanks.
Man, I'd say if you have to ask, then don't disassemble your Legend...
As the vibrator (a small DC motor with excentric weight on the axis) is the only movable part inside your phone, I'd say it's either stuck (glued by the juice residue) or the driver is fried.
In case the driver is fried, you'd actually have to measure what's wrong and where and replace the parts that are fried...
In case it is just glued, you'd have to unsoldier it and clean it...
Either way, it's pretty damn uncertain what will become of your phone when you disassemble it not knowing what to expect...
Thanks for your reply.
But I guess that disassembling the phone is a risk i have to take. What use is a phone today without the vibrator?
I never use it...

So my touch screen hasn't been responsive for the last few days. It's only partially responsive sometimes and not at all others. Has anyone else experienced this or know how to fix it? If not does anyone know if this would count as a manufacturer defect and I fould get it replaced?
For how long have you had it? It should go under warranty.

Is your phone overclocked? Or even rooted?
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
I'm having a touchscreen issue too. However it only occurs when keyboard has been flipped out. The entire screen's touch capability does not work, including the touch buttons search, back, menu and home. If you close the screen over the keyboard even a little bit. The touchscreen works perfectly. Even if you then flip it all the way back out again it works, until you close and open it again.
Anyone experienced this? Or have an idea if this should just be replaced under warranty?

Sounds like a classic case of bad ribbon cable.
If you are under warranty, replace it. If not, it could be something as simple as replacing the cable the connects the two halves of the phone together.

Been a week now, do you know roughly how long it takes for a HTC repair? Falling back to an old hero isn't great, but at least I have a phone
Hi,
A while ago my S7 Edge had some strange behaviour. I think I posted a forum when I had the problem, but suddenly the phone was working normal again... Until now. (5 months later)
When I'm watching youtube video's it's like I'm continius pressing the screen to show the pause/play button and title of the video. But I aint touching that screen?!
Also the back button keeps pressing itself. It's so anoying... I disabled the capacitive buttons in the generic.kl file, so they don't work in android. This took me like 20mins to do, because I kept going bck to the home screen...
When I layed in bed, I saw that the back button was slightly lit up. Just a little bit. I freaked out, because I have the backlight of the keys turned off!
Is it possible that there got water inside the phone? The only water this phone has seen is the shower.
Does someone have a clue what this problem is?
Thanks!
Hmm it looks like a screen problem to me.. doubt is the water since i i always use my phone under water...have you tried a factory reset? Are runing a custom rom?

It's also present in the recovery (twrp latest), that makes it really hard to flash roms when the back button is pressed continously..
But I didn't try that yet, I switched between a couole roms and the problem is still present.

Then it must be water on the button like the other guy said.. go to YouTube and find a video that help you to open the back side of your phone and do it with a dryer . I don't know the word .. the thing that we do on our hairs after the bath you know ;p
The issue is most certainly because of water damage. Most of the time if water comes into an S7/Edge it starts messing up with the cap keys, had those somptoms one, and also other people, but for me it was just 1 time after a pool bath with my phone, and it went away after maybe 1h. Now I am carefully when making the phone wet and I get it near water just to clean it, but not for fun anymore.

That's just stupid.. Samsung claims it's waterproof, so the shower mustn't be a problem, right..
I just spotted like realy tiny like bubbles or something on the back button, it looks like water indeed... **** me.
I think i'm remove the sim tray and put the phone in a rice bag for a couple days. If the problem doesn't go away, then I'll open up the back (breaking the waterproof seal ) and dry it up. Wish me luck..

It is water resistant, which means that it is still possible to get water inside/water damage.
i'm also having a strange issue with the phone after some upgrades. my phone will freeze at times and nothing will restore this unless i use the back button and the phone works. It doesnt happen all the time but only at times. Its like its in pause mode and only back button fixes this.
My J5 (2015)'s power button doesn't work anymore. What should i do? What part i've to replace to fix it??
Broken?
Or is it just not working?
If not working,then keep pressing it repeatedly like a hundred times.Maybe it is a dust or dirt related issue.Doing this will solve it.
If you have a cleaner spray(I hope you get what i mean),Put a couple of small drops in it carefully and repeat the above procedure.It should slove the problem.If not then you have to dissasemble your phone and reheat/resold or change the whole button.
