Recently my T-Mobile MDA Compact III has developed a problem where nothing happens when I press the green button. i.e. when I on on the Today screen and want to get the number pad, [Call history], [Talk] etc
It'll do the things it should if I can get that far
Anybody else encountered that problem and what might I be able to do to fix it. NB - a soft reset cures it but I'd rather not have to do that
TIA

I don't know if it's coincidence, but ever since I upgrade to WM5 and went back to WM2003SE, my navigation button has not worked the same.
For example, a lot of times I can go right, but can't go back left even after multiple presses, and then most of the time the middle or 'Enter' button doesn't do anything. Itz become extremely annoying because I have lost my 4th stylus by now, and I haven't received my new ones yet. Oh, and I can't play MorphGear right anymore.
Is it just hardware? Cuz I first went to ROM v.1.42 and then went to 1.40 to see if it was a problem with the new ROMs, but I still have the same problems. Any one else having these issues, and has any one fixed it??
UPDATE: WTF!! Now it went from bad to worse. Yesterday, when I left my BA at home, once I returned from work I noticed that PIE was constantly opening over and over again. Then some of the buttons wouldn't respond like the POWER to turn it off. The backlight pretty much stayed lit the whole time because it looked like the keys were stuck. I upgraded to WM5 derived from the Himalaya today and now the START menu comes up almost every 5-8 seconds, followed by a real quick succession of multiple "clicks", and my 'Start' button doesn't seem to be responding.
Can anyone help? Has my BA gone to the state of retardation? Is there a way to bring it back??
How did you go with this problem.
Mine is doing similar ever since a low battery problem.
DLC
I am experiencing the same kind of problem... and it happend after upgrade to WM5. But the problem likely to be caused by hardware.
I had problems with my phone opening up the start menu, opening IE, and closing programs immediately after opening them, Of course I had dropped the phone halfway in a cup of ice water, but immediately after tossing it in water (after hanging up, I simply dropped the phone into the cup-holder I have mounted below my stereo which happened to be occupied by a glass of ice-water I placed there without remembering) I shook the water out of the phone, and for about as much as i could stand the heat, I put a hair-dryer to the end of my phone which i pryed open after removing as many screws as i could. After a day of quirky behavior, and a night of having the battery seperated from the phone, my phone is back to its old self with the water-damage seal unnaffected after missing the line of water by just a few milimeters. I suggest going to Settings>Buttons and making every button perform no function at all followed by going to Settings>System>Button Lock and having all keys locked except your power button. Hope this helps!
Having somewhat the same issue. Only the "Down Navigation button" isn't working. Although, I'm still using Windows Mobile 2003 SE. Is there a DIY fix for this?
bump...
any suggestions?
Navigation Up/Down
Mine isn't working either - is this a hardware fault?
trying pressing down a bit harder. coz when i did that for mine, the "down" button works. normal applied pressure as for the rest of the buttons(left/right/up) does not seem to work with the "down" button, but a bit more force would make it work.
this happens to my IIs.. mebbe u can try.
Button problems
After no trauma or dunks in water several of my buttons have gone awry. My green phone button, red phone button and navigation buttons all open contacts. The green phone button activates voice command at the same time that it opens contacts. I've never switched from WM2003SE. I've checked the buttons settings and they are the same as always. Most bizarre of all is that my battery is quickly discharging. I suspect some software process is running hard but don't have any idea where to start to fix this. Soft resets have not helped.
buttons gone crazy
A hard reset fixed the problem but was a typical pain to get everything back going. Sprite backup works great until the first attempt to ActiveSync with your PC.
Hi,
my XDA Orbit have the screen off.
I can activesync the PC, and I can flash the engine.
Now I have the original OS from O2 but the screen is off.
I suppose that the screen is not broken because sometimes is on (yesterday the screen show the HTC logo screen) but it doesn´t work.
I can access to bootloader mode too but I can´t see something on the screen, I don´t see the three colors on the screen, it is black and it don´t work.
When I power on the Orbit it syncs with the PC but the screen continues black.
I made soft reset and hard reset but it didn´t make something. I flashed it with others OS but nothing.
I don´t know what can I do.
help me, please
thank you
I had an issue like that waaaay back. Though mine was to do with the baclight settings, I just tried to navigate to backlight settings while out in the sun.
This doesnt seem to be your problem though as you say you have actually managed to flash new ROM to it?
will it be a software or/and a hardware problem?
thanks
Probably hardware as you say you have flashed new ROMs to it and still it shows nothing,
Hi
Whenever I press the power button on my BA, it hard-resets. So I lost everything on WM2003.
Upgrading to WM6 meant that the only thing I lost was the time, but it's still really annoying!
Any help anyone can give here would be great!
Edit: I've used the search tool, and apart from one similar unresolved issue where the green button caused a hard-reset, there doesn't seem to be anything similar on the Forums or wiki.
Perhaps one of your other buttons is stuck in, did you try to clean the BA?
Thanks for the suggestion!
Checked, doesn't seem to be anything stuck; everything responds correctly to being pressed except the power button. So it's still broken
HELP everyone! I'm having a problem with my TP2. Whenever I slide open the keyboard, the screen goes blank. Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks.
Perhaps the way you hold the TP2 while you are opening it is causing you to press the power button?
I had the opposite problem, sliding my keyboard shut would turn off the screen. Eventually sliding the keyboard shut would randomly reset my phone. Figuring it was a software conflict or registry mess up, I did a hard reset. The problem still continued, so I had to do a warranty exchange. So far so good on my refurbished phone.
Hi Lads,
My HTC touch diamond is doing strange, one day I woke up and suddenly it gave me a Red,Green,Blue,White screen. As I understood it's called bootlloader or something like that.
I tried reset+volumebutton after that it is starting normal and Ive got my phone back, but if I turn my phone back off its gaving me the terrible Red, Green, Blue, White screen back.
Ive tried to do a hard reset ( reset button + volume + round button) but then I have to press the volume button again to accept, but it isnt doing anything then.
Ive looked for some solutions but everything is chinese for me.
I just want my phone back to normal and I hope I dont have to loose all my files.
Can anyone help ?
I posted this in the question thread but some guy told me to post here.
Some other guy told me to reinstall my ROm but I have NO CLUE at all what I should do and what ROM is.
I didn't thought it would be such a big problem because I can still start my phone, it just gives me that ****ing Red, Green, Blue White screen and it says : serial at the bottom if I press Reset + volume down it starts as normal, but if I start it again I got that screen back.
Can anyone help me, sorry if there is already a solution be discussed on this forum, I didn't found it.
Please note that I am a dummie at this point.
Thanks

after you get a hardspl " see in athachament " , remove the batery Then put the batery, after that press the Power button + volume down and you enter the boot loader menu, after that install ROM of your choice
Good Luck, Marius.
I just updated my ROM I guess ? or what is it ... I pressed update and now I got SPL-1.40.OliNex.
But I still get the screen, can anyone tell me which rom I should install now and where I can find it ?
I want the standard ROM back like I bought my diamond.
EDIT ive installed ROM that I downloaded at the HTC website an update. Ive installed it but it is still not fixed when I star my phone I still get bootloader.
Back to the ROM then : if I start it it get struck when I have to Line out my stylus or how do you call it in english, it keeps asking again it always starts again.
CAN ANYONE HELP ^^? I am despered
Must be a solution ....
I had the same problem before, my Htc Diamond always goes into bootloader mode, the problem is that the volume down button is stuck from the tack button itself not the outside part of the button, on my diamond there was moisture in between the tack button contacts, all I had to do was replaced the button and everything works as it were brand new.
Should I buy new ones and where can I buy it ? How should U put thhem in.
I pulled out the old buttons, let it rest and after a few hours I put them back but its still the same :S. How have you fixed it ?
The button that I was talking about is inside the the outer physical button, its a tiny circular tack button you have to disassemble the other half of the Diamond to get into it and do some soldering on the button's board but don't do this yet.
I suggest try to do a soft reset on the phone, then as soon as you release the reset button hold down the volume up key to see if it boots into winmo " that's what I was doing to my diamond before just to get into winmo and not on boot loader or the tri color", if your phone boots into winmo without any problem while pressing the volume up key then its definitely the volume down button is having problems. and also before, does your diamond most of the time gets a little bit warm to the touch? even for a short phone calls? that was the first symptoms i had on my diamond before the actual key is messin' up
the tack button i got from another phone with the same size of button and had to solder it on the volume assy. pcb.
your problem is not a software issue but a hardware Malfunction. (majority of the people here are experts on software but I myself is the opposite)
