The clearance between the buttons and the screen slide is very tight. Any variation in the key's fit/finish/installation or just being defective could cause it.
The keyboard is a "touch membrane" type, typically found in cheaper keyboards (or in this case - low profile). Each key has a retainer to prevent it from popping off. It's possible that this retainer has been "stretched" or damaged, allowing the key to remain in a higher postition relative to the other keys.
No real solution unless you want to try and remove the keyboard and figure out what's different. However, more than likely something else will be damaged from trying, and may not be worth the trouble.

i understand the cause of problem, thanks for your explanation, but this becomes a couple weeks ago, when y bougth my tytn this problem wasnt here. why is now touchin the "y" the screen?
thanks

I am having a similar problem. The down dpad only responds when extreme force is given to it; along with the row of horizontal pill buttons (ok, ie, mail, today). i took it apart and tried reseating everything to no avail. i also have a new problem, my display is fuzzing up or showing up in 256 color

There was a chap on here (fluffcat1) that sold parts for the m2000. I have bought from him and can recommended.
You can buy just the new button pad for the bottom of the pda for less than £10 and then just make sure you have the correct TORQ screwdrivers to open it up.

the down button on the keypad sucks on all b.a's
i was lucky enough to get a good one that theres barely anything wrong with.
the only problem is wen i press down and right (to get the 45 degree south west direction) it doesnt work, or its VERY hard to get to work, but thats it.
i think its just that the b.a down button sux, probly a design fault.
also check maybe a bit of dirt lodged itself under there. this happened to me once andi've only had my b.a for 2 weeks!
gah they shud really put more time into designing these things, i'll never forget my v3 <3

Apps random minimize

Hello everybody,
today I have to ask if somebody has a solution for me
When I click sometimes on different apps just with the finger they minimze. I don't know why is there a special gesture or something? Its really strange..
FTouchFlo is disabled of course..
But maybe my device is just going to die
You know what, i have had that happen to me too!! Mine mostly happens when I press the centre key in the dpad, but i think it has happened one other time when i didnt use that key too.
I dont think its your device, might be something that has to do with WM6.1. Never had that happen in WM6.0.

This behavior is very strange..
I didn't noticed it with the dpad keys yet, just when pressing the touch screen somewhere.. It also seems to happen more often when the memory is very full or pressing on the right screen edge. Regards

Well, didn't found any solution yet but will looking for..
I agree with ICE, it does happen to me when using touch screen also. Maybe its an alignment issue?
It is an alignment issue! I am having this too! Touch screen smoetimes thinks that you press upper corner of the screen! I think this is Windows Mobile problem but also it may be a hardware issue!

So I might be able to fix that when I align the screen again?

I guess early WM6.0 releases had some screen alignment issues, but the more i read, it is related to hardware issue...LOL
I have the same problem!!!
Never had screen alignment issues, but my screen has damages from stylus on the "X" button from pressing there and on the scroll bar from scrolling while surfing the internet, I think that is the cause of the problem with my device..
I must say it is really annoying and made me realize I will NEVER use stylus in my life..
Just my 2 cents..
I've noticed the same problem occasionally, and from memory it (maybe) happened a lot more on some of the early WM6.1 ROMs. I haven't noticed it for a while though.
Do you think its the same as in the wiki? HT646 on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Problems
Where the right corner keeps touching. If you've got any xbutton installed, its bound to minimize. Some of the problems farther down link this to the screen heating up and eventually not working till it cools down.

Well it happens even in the morning when the phone is fully charged, and hasnt been used/touched/handled in over 8 hours, so I doubt its a heat issue.
Shamanix, are you saying this whole problem may be caused by the HTC X Button software?
Happens to me also but only since I switched to 6.1 ROM's
I also had this issue on 6.0.
Can't really believe that this is an hardware bug, maybe a special hermes "feature"
Yesterday, when I was scrolling over the edge I saw the x button going down *lol*
Would be interesting if kaiser users have the same problems.
No I am not saying it is because of X-Button software... I said that I have damaged my screen when I was pressing "X" and "OK" button with stylus in the top right corner and that I have damaged right part of the screen where the scroll bar is again with stylus while I was surfing the web and scrolling so now when I press over the damaged area ( right side of the screen ) I can see X button going down just like Pay said..
So my problem is in damaged screen...
You can`t see the damage, but you can feel it with the stylus...
i have apps closing in random occasions as well. it didn't happen before using wm6.0 but it happened on almost every wm6.1 rom i flashed. i try avoiding the htx x button so i don't think it's related to it.
Im on WM6 with ftouchflo enabled and x-button bind to close apps. Happens to me also sometimes A bit annoying but I think I'll manage.
There appear to be many issues concerning the screenpart of the Hermes. I am not suggesting that this problem actualy is one of them but you might have a closer look to the space between the screen and the plastic of the housing. My whitescreenissues and the screen alignmentissues many people suffer from are caused by the thin layer of foam that HTC sticks the screen to the housing with. I recently put some new foam/tape in between and it helped me with my whitescreen issues. In the beginning I put to much and at that time touching the top plastic parts caused all sorts of reactions normally caused by touching the screen,.
Just a thought...

Am I the only one who hits the power button with the keyboard extended?

I've searched but I can't find any one else complaing of this problem and it's driving me nuts.
When I extend the hardware keyboard to type, my finger often rests on the power button turning the screen off. Does anybody else face this problem? Is there a registry hack to disable the power button with the keyboard is extended?
Thanks
jejeje
Same problem!!!! so frustating!!!
No you are not the only one; I also have this problem; when writing message I touch the power button accidentally a lot and the only solution I could come to was to be more delicate and careful when writing
Regards,
Yep, same problem here! A really silly thing to miss - there's not particular reason to not have the power button on the right at the top rather than the left.
all the time....
very frustrating,
..then I try to open it, wait a fraction of a second, click it again for fear of not having pushed it enough the first time, ... and I end with the sleep mode on the phone , .. so I click it firmly for a third time finally opening it..
timewaste...
same here

Add me to the list.
Which makes me wonder, why didn't they place the power on the top right?
Well at least I know I'm not the only one. Still hoping someone smarter than I will find a way to disable it with keyboard extended
@vdKarel I would have found those post had I spelt button with two t's (#)
I wasnt having that problem until today actually. lol. funny you bring it up. After discovering this, i did find it a little inconvenient where the power button is placed
happens some times. probably the power button would be better in an other place
I do it all the time as well
I use it a lot (pages and pages of word documents written on it in the train) and it doesn't happen...
When I hold mine with keyboard extended, my left index (which is the one which could hit the power button) is folded, so it hits the left side of the keyboard "block" (no power button here) then goes under the screen "block" and holds the back of the keyboard "block", it doesn't press the left side of the screen "block" (which has the power button).
Do you guys have your left index extended for it to be along the left of both the keyboard "block" and the screen "block" ? I don't see how else you could be hitting the power button...
PS : On my TyTN, this allowed me to turn the PPC on and off with the left index tip with the keyboard out, this avoided waiting for the screen to rotate when I knew I'd wand it in landscape when I trun back on.
This only happens to me after ALMOST completing a 900 word e-mail . . .

For the Tilt 2, this doesn't happen. I don't know if it's because of WM 6.5 or something AT&T implemented or what, but the power button has no effect when the keyboard is out. I actually want to find a way to enable that because at times I want to put it in sleep mode while open.
Why do you have your fingers extended?? I never have this problem in my TP2!

Reset when sliding out keyboard

Hello boys
from about 1 week i have this problem on my device, if i have the keyboard out and write an sms or typing an url when slide the keyboard in the device automatically reset itself...
anyone knwo this problem or the solution ?
Thanks for the help
Nicola
Hi,
I have a problem with my keyboard too, I've searched the forum but i didn't see the same problem as i have or the solution. My phone's screen turns off when i slide out the keyboard. Actually phone stays on but the light of the screen goes off. when i slide it out i'm able to write something or make calls. when i slide it back, screen keeps itself off and i press the sleep key "2 times"!(screen looks like off but it isn't) to reopen it again. I press the sleep key for the first time to turn the screen actually off, and press it one more time to turn it on again. i did a soft and a hard reset to the phone, didn't solve it. I don't think it is a software problem but i hope it is

These are the photos of the occasion.
The screen keeps itself on until the end of the slide. it turns off then. when I slide it back, i can see the backlight of the screen and the light of the buttons.( i don't think that you would see it on the photo, 3rd photo).
I'm waitin for your help guys, thank you so much.
Isn't there anyone to help my problem? I'm waiting for your answers..
I'm also having this same issue. When I slide the keyboard in it just turns off sometimes. At first I thought it might be a physical issue with the internals of the phone and the sliding impact of the keyboard was causing it to reset, but it doesn't do it all the time for me. I can jam on it and nothing happens sometimes, or other times it resets from a gentle nudge. I am running Energy GTX from August 26 or 28, whatever version that was.
I also have this issue now where my end key is unresponsive. Doesn't. Work. Ever. and that is so freaking annoying. If anyone has any insight here PLEASE share it.
Thank you.
Wow i just saw your message and suprised. Is that my phone you're using? Because I have that end key problem too. It works when I press too hard. And I have 3rd problem now. I think my phone's microphone is not working. People i'm talking on the phone is always complaning about that they can not hear my voice or it's too low. Now I have three problems:
1. Phone is turning itself off when i slide the keyboard out.
2. End key is not responsive.
3. Microphone is low or its broken..
Maybe reflash your phone to origional rom.
I was using WM 6.5 without hardspl when the problem occured. then i did hardspl and installed custom roms, i even tried with WM 6.1. It didn't help about any of it. I'm used to not using the keyboard actually, but the problem with microphone is annoying..
Same problem with the keyboard

I have the same problem !!!! Did you manage to resolve because I am sure this is software relatred. I had android on my phone prior to this and fixated that the issue is coming from this
Had the same keyboard issues, found that it was a battery issue. when you shut the phone, the battery would loose connection.
bluewaterkayak,
more info on the loose battery connection.
i have the same problem with sliding the keyboard down and the screen turning off. closing it, pressing the sleep button 2x, turns the phone back on. i can slide the keyboard down just enough and hold it to type out a text, any more and it'll go off.
THIS IS SUPER ANNOYING
Bumpski. Really need this fixed.
What ever you last installed take it off. If not you might have to go factory restore
It's definitely not a software issue. The screen itself somehow gets disconnected when slid up all the way.
Took it apart and found nothing obvious wrong. Is there something to look at exactly when the slider is at the end of it's travel? The cables seemed fine. The problem only happens at the end of travel.
I cleaned the slider area and pried some contacts down. Nothing. Put it back together and same problem.
Ideas??
See here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=561151
Tried the fix posted in the last link with Kapton Tape.
Didn't work.
Any ideas?
I have the same issue. My old VZW TP2 is sitting in a drawer in my house because people kept saying they couldn't hear me on the other end. Also on my new one, when i slide the keyboard in/out sometimes it turns off, not always though. I figured it has to be a hardware issue as well, if i do it slowly nothing happens but if i just slide it open and let the springs kick in, it usually cuts off once it 'snaps' to the end of the sliding path.

[Q] Problem with keyboard

Hi all.
I'm having an 'interesting' keyboard problem/bug. It seems as if the keyboard is too 'high up' on the screen (as in z-position).
In the attached picture the blue 'cursor' thing (1) that you drag to move the cursor around sits under the keyboard meaning you can't drag it.
Secondly, when holding down the '.' (2) key to bring up the symbols quick menu, it seems to appear under the main keyboard. I'm only guessing this because the main keyboard dims and the symbols are still entered if you randomly touch the screen near where they should be.
So far my only solution is to reboot.
Any ideas?

Yes the hiding keyboard problem happens to me as well but it's so rare, I didn't really give it much thought. Just use the Sym keyboard.
