hey guys,
my green answer call button doesnt seem to work. i'm wondering if its the rom or the phone. it still lights up but doesnt respond when i push the button.
any suggestions like a button tester program?
kind regards,
jason
Are you having any problems with any other keys?
If its just the one you can break your phone down and check your connections and see if anythings loose or damaged. Make sure to go to the Wiki and check out the guide on how to properly take your phone apart.
everything works except for that the green phone button
Starting to wonder about malfunctioning buttons posts
I myself posted a thread on my malfunctioning power button . I am getting the feeling that certain apps and tweaks are causing some of these malfunctioning hardware buttons to happen. Not exactly a scientific point of view, but I think lots of this button malfunctioning (no matter which one), can eventually be resolved by HR or as mentioned in another post, Clear Storage. I myself, within a minute, pulled out my SDMicro card out for 15 seconds, took off Quickmark application (last app or cab put on my system), and my power button turns on/off as it should. I had to resort to SR's when I had my problem..........................
Latest: Found out that my main problem was NOT any of the above,, it all seemed to occur because of a buildup of Notification Queue's,, so check that out... I think that those queue's can be a source of a lot of problems
cheers for that suggestion.
softreset doest fix it so i will have to resort to hard reseting.
lucky the vodaphone version has the 3G phone button and i can use that to get to the dial pad but it then assumes my calls are 3G which are annoying
has anyone got any suggestions then?
i flashed K's new rom and still my 'Green Answer Phone' button doesnt work.
thanks in advance for any help

i had a similiar problem when installing a different dialer via cab.
i would suggest to either install a naked rom (like pandora naked) or one of the older roms (like schaps v3.x).
do not install any other cabs and see if the green button is working.
i flashed pandora naked rom and it still doesnt work.
any one have any other suggestions?
if not will i have to take the phone apart :S?
the Irda doesn't work at all, when i install a program to use my tytn as a remote for my tv, and i try to clone my remote i get an error saying "Irda port being used by another application"
and it wont communicate with over devices via Irda. other than that it works great...does anybody know a way to fix this problem?
p.s. tried other roms, Irda works fine, so it's not the phone.
please help this lost soul!!
thanks!
sorry, posted in wrong area! rookie mistake! forget about it!
A general rule I follow is not to use too many .cabs as certain apps and tweaks can cause some of these malfunctionings to happen.
You cant be installing cabs for everything on your phone. Do you really have so much space in your phone?
hey guys i thought this was a thread about getting my green answer call button working again!
seem like more of a hardware problem to me. you can still try checking for bad blocks, flashing another radio, but that all may be futile. look up the disassembly guides in the wiki. mikechannon also has some stuff on that, if u click on his sig

Anyone have any suggestions ? do you think i burnt my camera or something?I do have an option to get it sent back..but wanted to see if someones suggestion here helps fix it so others can learn from me...

Ok its fixed now... Dont know what fixed it... maybe the constant upgrade of roms or the ppcreset... or pulling the battery out and leaving it for 10 mins... But finally i dont have to send it in for a refurb... Thanks for anyone who looked and thought of a solution... If anyone else has this again they can try all the things i tried...
1) Upgrade/ Downgrade Radio multiple times.
2) upgrade SPL multiple times.
3) Try all the cooked roms
4) Revert back to ATT wm5 rom.
5) Reset device with Reset PPC
6) SuspendPPC (These i found in the black rom under system Folder)
7) Pull the battery out for 10 Mins.
Hopefully something in this combo works... cant point out which since i did too many things...
This forum is great with info available here Thanks to all the chefs,the guides and WIKI.
Cheers...
Disappearing Camera? Me Too.
My Camera Disappeared a few days ago, the hardware button on the spine does not bring it up and the application does not run, it just brings up the photo viewer. I even run the exe and get nothing. Also note, "Brighter Screen" does not work nor "Bigger Screen". For the record it's a Hermes100 and its running ROM Pro BLACK 3.0.1 and Radio 1.41.00.10.
I am looking all over, but I can't find anyone with the proper solution. May I should take my Cingular 8525 back and see what they say, they are probably going to say it was my fault when they see the new radio and Rom, but the problem happened with the original ROM.

Did you do everything i mentioned above?
try different combinations. I had the exact same rom and radio as you...
when i downgraded the radio it took the camera out for some reason.
If i were you i will try different things before the last option of sending it back for a refurb.
Good luck
I've installed WM6 Blak Majik and everything is great except for one thing..
When I press the 'phone' button (you know, the metal one to the left of the left soft key), nothing happens.
This means that if i want to make a call, the only way i can get to the dialer is to go through the start menu and select 'phone' which is very frustrating.
Has anyone else noticed this after installing Blak Majik and how can i fix it?
How can i re-map this button?
(I don't have 3G video calling).
Thanks.

Same issue for me but that goes for all hardware buttons, and yes I have flashed several times

Have tried the all my friend, started off with Schaps and ended with Black Majik.
Due to anonther error I have flashed them several times. This error that I have got on all ROMS later or sooner is the white screen (i.e. the screen goes white but the phone still works). It is like an reversed screensaver.
To add to the strange list, my phone buttons are flashing more or less the whole time.
I am using Hard SPL v7 if someone is curios

sounds like you have a hardware issue and not a software issue... time to flash back to the original ROM and send it back...
Thats my plan!
I am looking into the downgrade guide by mrvanx
Some people have this problem. Look at Schaps's thread.
This bug is random, so, it is not a hardware problem.
Sometimes, the buttons on the front face work, sometimes they don't. But the other buttons, around the Qtek, works always.
(sorry for my 'frenglish')
The round phone button (3G phone button) doesn't work with Black Majik, just use the green phone button to enter the phone software

you do realize that black majik doesnot have a 3g dialer build it, you have to install the video dialer after flashing.
also the only hardware button on black majik that doesnt work is the 3G dialer button.(simple solution for getting to the phone software, press the green call button)
as for the other ROMs al the ones i have tryed have all hardware buttons working.
(also ive never had a ROM flash that i need to do twice coz something went wrong, i didnt think anything could go wrong, the cooks wouldnt release something that didnt work as drestically as having no hardware buttons!!)

Yes obviously i know that Black Majik doesn't have a 3G dialer built-in.
Of course i'm speaking AFTER having installed...

Have you read the first 2 posts? firstly Black Majik is a NON Video Calling ROM (all of the black roms are i think), yes the hardware button is disabled, no i dont know how to remap it, i dont think you can i think it needs done before the ROM is compiled (not sure)
Also a quick fix to get to the "phone" function (which is what the button you are talking about is used for) press the green call button is launched the "phone" software!
no matter wat you do i dont think you will get the hardware button working, unless you are real good at cooking ROMs, since we are talkin i assume you wont be able to do this, as neither can i!!!
(sorry if i sound short, in wrk n not got lots of time to type this stuff!!)
However if someone does know how to remap this particular button please share!!!
Hi
i have been getting trouble with my TP2 , since no1 reacted on my previoous post i decided to do a hard reset, i figured the "turn off" on moving back the keyboard under the screen, hoping to reset any things that might cause this. as it can just be a bad device and now i most likely need another
Or can it be a virus? i installed some cabs that were floating around on this forum and after some time i got the issue , when moving back from landscape to portrait , the device turns off instantly
what can this be?
advice needed

i supose this happens when you have keyboard open and close to go back to potrait. yep dodgy or faulty device........... i'd return it. ribbon fault i'd say mate. no virus would do that to phone. return it for a new one and tell them its a faulty ribbon. unfortunately these things do happen.
now have you installed g-sensor or flip it? if this happens with keyb closed then its something you did or installed or not set right!
i have not installed those last 2 programs
programs isntalled were
Facebook app
coreplayer
NFS underground
and some theme cabs
well tomorrow first thing il go and try to get a new one
ribbon fault your saying? what is that if I might ask?
il be sure to notify them
thanks for your quick reply
Alsa86
these have nothing to do with htc touch pro2 itself dude!
it's about the rom you installed in it,so pls return to your technician to get a good rom!
it's like you have super good pc,but the windows xp you installed is crap,then your pc will always get this problem and that......
FYI: rom means: OS(wm 6.5 for example)+Radio(GSM etc)+Extrom(touchflo 3d etc)
I did a quick search of this forum and only saw this issue brought up once before (not answered, and dif version of this handset), so I will put it out there again.
Occasionally after I get an SMS, or send one, I will open up the keyboard but I get no response. It will light up if it is dark. The handset recognizes it is being opened (switches to landscape), but the keys do nothing. I am able to open up the software keyboard and continue whatever I am doing, but nothing on the hardware one. I usually will finish my texting, and move on to other things, and when I check later, it works fine...as if nothing was ever wrong. No soft reset, or anything... This has happened several times, but I will go weeks without it happening.
Oh yeah...I am using the stock ROM for the tilt 2.
have you applied the hotfix already?
I was not aware of any hotfix for this. I did a quick search and found nothing. Can you please point me in the right direction and I will look into this...
I'm having the same problem with my Tilt 2. Factory ROM, and I have applied the hot-fix. And yesterday I preformed a hard rest. Its still does it. The keyboard will partially stop working at times.
I get the same response, with the keyboard out the phone switches to landscape, the hot keys work (contacts, Internet, home, etc.), but it wont type letters or numbers. Sometimes after going into sleep mode it will work latter, but usually I have to soft rest. This is happing several times a day. Quite annoying!

I dont think that this applies to the 6.5 rom, I have tried to install this and it wont. I think this was discussed awhile back about this hotfix.
I followed the above link, however, I did not see a hotfix that fits what I am experiencing unless "freezing in SMS" is what you guys are thinking. I did not interpret my symptom as 'freezing' as I am fully able to use the screen...just not with the hardware keyboard.
Never-the-less, I have no problem installing the hotfixes. I am not clear on whether or not they apply to my version, however, they are dated after my purchase, so I am thinking that they should be OK.
Oh yeah...where would the discussion be regarding whether or not this applies to me...I was unable to find it...
Same issue for me, flaky hardware keyboard. I'm running the AT&T stock ROM, and I put the hot-fixes on immediately after they came out.
The issue is with the Stock ATT ROM. I am the chef of the e2 ROM series here and my ROMs are customized for AT&T. With my custom ROMs I have no issues with the keyboard at all. This is because most of the packages were updated. So if you want to fix your keyboard, you'll need to flash a new ROM. If you want/need a customized ROM for ATT then check out the e2 ROM series in the ROM Development thread.
Thank you for the info/invite. I will certaintly check out your ROMs. I have been reluctant to flash this phone as I can't afford a replacement if things go bad (not to mention the hassle of reinstalling/re-setting things up)...
My phone goes to sleep
and does NOT wake up, the bottom row of buttons and keyboard both light up if I open them or press them.
Help please!

Stock ROM or custom? Any overclocking?
The phone powers up if you soft reset, correct?
Well, I found out it was a small problem with the rom.
It was a custom rom, and I just installed a different one and it works flawlessly.
With the other one, the light sensor did not work either.
Also, I dropped my phone the other day, and a really small spring fell out.
And the back plain on my screen is loose and opens up easily..
Which ROM?
I hate to hijack this thread but i am having the exact same problem. Basically when i put my phone to sleep its hit or mess as to if it will wake. It seems to have started when i flashed Energy ROM. It was terrible after that, so I switched back to the stock ROM available from the HTC website and all seemed well at first. Now its back to hit or miss.
I cant really rule out a hardware issue such as a broken sensor or something because I'm not sure how the mechanics of it work. When i push the power button on top the phone wakes but not the screen I know this because the 4 lights on the bottom light up and the keyboard as well. I can hit the button repeatedly but it doesnt help. At other times it works flawlessly, but usually does not.
Can anyone give me a suggestion as to what it could be, or a way to rule out a hardware issue?
Exactly my problem!
It was perfectly fine for the first day or so before it started crapping out again..
Can someone please help us with this problem?
It's mind consuming and it's making me worry.
Until TP3 is out, I won't get a new phone ):
Well, the problem is discussed in great detail on the internet, but no one can give a definitive answer. ..
I've been a touch pro 2 user for exactly 3 days... My new HD2 from T-Mobile is in the mail... This is a un acceptable flaw with no real solutiion... Good Luck TP2 users....
Good luck to you.
I've had mine for over two years and it was flawless
Just one recent drop determined everything
Although I Must say, it was one hell of a durable phone
Yea, dont get me wrong. I really like the phone. Thats why I'm getting the HD2. Great OS and big beautiful screen. I'm gonna miss the slide out keyboard but I think thats what breaks these phones.
I'm excited that there's the possibility of running Windows Mobile 7 on it.

I'd like to try to help. But you never answered my question of what ROM you are on (and which one you tried previously).
I've determined my problem is 100% hardware related. If I open my keyboard and then grab the screen and tweak it while pressing the power button it comes onn 100% of the time. Sux, but at least I know the cause now

Every once in a while my phone would turn on and I wouldn't know why
But yeah, I think it is hardware related.
I previously used Energy then went to Jacko's.
Both were perfectly fine, just the upsetting sleep function and light sensor would keep the phone off.
HELP: Same problem Phone not waking up
Hi saw this thread and was wondering if anyone can help me.
I have an HTC Touch Pro 2 for some month now...
Using the following details:
OS Version: 5.2.21887 (21887.5.0.86)
ROM Version: 2.07..401.1 (80303) WWE
ROM date: 02/04/10
Radio ver: 4.49.25.91
stock ROM basically...
THe issue is that the phone doesn't wake or when using it just freezes/hangs.
Not much software/apps installed... and memory is good as well.
I just don't know what's going on...
Help please.
Thanks

I'd agree with the notion that its likely hardware related. I've flashed maybe 10 different builds of Energy over the last 7 months or so, and never once had and issue with the SOD (sleep of death) that I can recall. A bad flash can sometimes happen. But since you flashed another reputable ROM (Jackos), that somewhat eliminates the possibility that a bad flash is the culprit.
You can start from scratch, by running Task29 to format the ROM area of the phone's memory, and reflash the ROM. But this would be just to eliminate the possibility of a bad ROM flash. My gut says that you won't see any different results.
Running the phone "clean" for a while (to see if you still have the SOD) without any software installed or any other modifications will eliminate the possibility that any software or mods are responsible for the issue.
are you sure its hardware related? because my phone started doing this yesterday too...I had an energy rom from october, and it was really buggy. I am only able to keep my phone from sleeping when it is plugged in to some power, so i flashed the newest energy rom and still having the same problem...wont wake up from sleep
EDIT:
I dont see how this can be hardware related because everytime i soft-reset, the screen works again. this problem only happens when the device goes to sleep...
Any overclocking?
As I already mentioned, I never had any SODs on Energy that I can recall, except when using OCT (OverClocking Tool).
I have done no overclocking...I just flashed the newest energy rom like 15min ago...is there anything else I can do or check? it looks like the phone works still, just no backlight...
After flashing the ROM, maybe try running it "clean" for a day or two, don't install any software or do any mods, reg edits, etc. If you still have problems with the phone waking up with a new ROM, and no other software or other mods, than it may indicate a hardware problem.
And be sure to run Task29 before you flash the new ROM, if you don't already do that.
You guys should read the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648134
You're not the only ones (by any means) with the SOD issue. But it isn't at all clear what causes the issue. Lots of different theories in that thread about various software or ROMs, with no clear solution.
Lots of conflicting info, but some comments on the thread suggest (as I mentioned) that Task29 may help (certainly can't hurt).

Nope, definitely not sure, especially after reading the thread linked above. But as I suggested before, Task 29, try a different ROM, and run it clean with no software or mods, and start eliminating the variables.
