Does anybody know if there is a registry entry I can check out for the green phone button on a 8525. I have CRC's latest 6.1 ROM. My green phone button doesn't seem to work at all.
appreciate the help.

Try a different ROM, I dont think there is any registry to it, but I might be wrong. If it doesnt work on a different ROM, then most likely your hardware is giving out!
does the phone complete the boot cycle and function as normal (pda functions and phone calls) just no green light?
I agree with reinstalling or changing ROMs.
As you know, should light up solid (just up to about 10 seconds or so depending on ROM) on initial startup and then begin blink as it boots.
I too had a problem like this when I tried to switch to Pays Rom. When I booted up the phone and pressed the green button it would work one time, but after that nothing it turned into a useless button and would do nothing until the next softreset. This happened every single time. Flashed the rom with nothing on the phone.
I went back to VP3Gs Rom until 6.1 is more stable. I wish you luck in finding a fix though. And yes I too have the 8525
same problem here
Yep!!, same problem, none of my buttons, work, they ware working yestarday, loorking for new rom as I tipe, really like the rom, exept for the little bugs.
It does light up. Actually before this I had a Schaps 6.0 rom and the call button didn't work either but at the beginning it worked. Before that I had the retail rom and the button worked.

I love this rom right now its so fast. I just temporarily remapped my button 5 to phone for now. When I have time I'll switch to the retail 6.1 rom and see if the button works. If it doesn't I'm going to assume the hardware is done.

Hi,
Have had my XDA2s for some months now and have been slowly updatnig ROMS and RADIOS as and when. Today it crashed at the start of an active-sync over USB. Basically the screen went black and you could not soft-reset it. In the end I had to do a hard-reset (power + reset) and re-install all my bits and pieces.
Anyone else had this?
Similar but I cannot reboot
Similar thing happened to me but I cannot hard reboot, not sure what to do now.
Anyone any ideas! Have been loading ROMS no problem as you mentioned but for some reason the latest SIN 2 merged ROM I have had issues with. It has been just been going to black screen when unpacking the ext rom sends the device go black, happened 3 times but could do the hard reset thing, this last time no go. Thought it may have been the battery but I have just put in someone elses machine & fine.
If I connect power to the device I just get a red light where the orange or green power light normally is.
At the moment is running SIN2's latest merged ROM
Hi there !
I got a strange problem on my MDA Vario II, running Schap's latest Rom:
Sometimes suddenly the Keyboard is not working any more. Neither the backlight is coming on, nor the entered keys seem to be recognised - beside the 'dot' button
Restarting my Phone by simply switching it off and on again always fixes it.
Anybody seen something similar ?
Regards

I usually have got it on AT&T's rom or vp3G's rom,
when i go to type a text the little white dot is on, and when i turn it off it reappers and types numbers and other letters, only a soft reset makes it normal again. Anyone know what's up?

Hi
I have search but can't find an answer to this problem.
I have tested some different rom's and they have all worked well more or less.
Yesterday i tested: PDAViet_WM6.1_WWE_3.62.61.11_B19716 and installed som apps.
All worked ok to start with, then the blink leds went black and the green and red phonebutton started to light all the time.
I tryed to softreset without any luck so i shutoff the phone and removed the batteri, started i up and all was fine.
But it happened again so i decide to install PaysWWE210Full, hi's rom's work's well i think.
Guess what, the blink led's still don't work but the green and red phone button is not lighted
All other stuff work's.
If anyone have a clue what's wrong, please tell me.
edit: None of the buttons, green/redphone or the other seems to work.
The keybord works.
edit: Seems that no hardwarebutton at the front of the phone works.
The buttons at the side of phone and the hardwarekeyboard works.
sorry for my bad english.
I finaly got it to work
I took out the battery whithout turning the phone off first, waited some minute and then turned on the phone again, and now it works!
Hi guys/gals.
Got a bit of a problem, and not sure whether it's the actual phone at fault, or the software...
Had the phone for about 4 months now, and have noticed this to get worse and worse... I'm pretty sure it's happened before on the stock rom, but can't remember whether it happened before I unlocked the phone to be able to install custom roms (not security/sim unlock, just a standard unlock to allow custom roms).
Anyway, this is basically how my phone's life has been: I got phone, used standard htc rom. Then, the spl unlocker came out, and I installed that about 2 weeks after it came out (waited just to check people had no probs ). Then, I installed one of the energy roms as my first rom. Installed a few other roms in between, then an updated energy rom etc. Then, I installed the official wwe 6.5 rom. Then, I went back to the energy rom. Currently, I'm using the 26th October (iirc) rom. As I said, not sure whether it happened when I had the official 6.1 rom on (spl locked), but I'm quite sure it happened while I had the official 6.5 rom on (spl unlocked). It has happened tho with all different custom rom images I've used...
Basically, what I've noticed, is that sometimes I'm replying to a text message or email, click reply, pull out keyboard, and it seems to cause the phone to power off. Pressing the power button starts it again. Sometimes, I've not been doing anything, and it's turned itself off. Sometimes, I've dropped the phone (even only a slight drop of about 1cm), and it's caused it to power off.
I've also had times where it's turned itself off, and nothing's allowed it to come back on, other than taking the battery out the back of the phone and re-adding the battery. Then, pressing the power button powers the phone on.
Is this a problem with the roms, a problem with the spl unlocker, or a problem with my phone itself? Am I best contacting htc?
Any advice welcome, as it's very annoying coming to use the phone, and finding it's turned itself off, or when I go to reply, I open the keyboard, and then have to wait for it to load up and power it on to reply!!!
Many thanks in advance
Hi.
It's very anoying for you..
I suppose you should try to (re)install the latest Hard SPL, and to install the latest Radio too. After it, make a hard reset. Next, flash with your favorite ROM And come back here to say us what happens.
See you, and good luck for these manips.

I've had this same trouble. It would happen to me when I would finish typing a text message and hit the send key and slide the keyboard close at the same time. I only really noticed it when I was running the energyroms, however I can not say for sure that they are the root cause of it, as I have waited till the message was sent before closing my keyboard ever since.
Well, since I wrote this message this morning, it's happened at least twice. Both times whilst the phone has been in my pocket...
I will try installing the latest hard spl. Think the radio I have is the latest already. Will also try a different ROM just in case it is energy roms which is causing it (but am pretty sure it happened with other roms).
Thanks for those suggestions, will let you know any outcomes
try Valkyrie. ^^
Well, I went through and installed the new hardspl (altho not sure if any different to the one I had, how would I tell?!). I then installed the image from josh, which had the latest radio and rphone.dll (or whatever the file is called) matched to it. However, doesn't appear to have made any difference. Still doing it...
Does anyone else suffer much with it, and it's just a design fault? Or should I contact htc? As surely it should just turn off when in your pocket?!
No-one else? I'm just the only person. Guess I best drop htc an email then...
my att Rhodium /tilt2 does it too
Ive been dealing with this for awhile now also.... , also return my phone for new one but this one does the same thing my radio is 4.47.25.24 and i have 1.6beta rom by josh build 21882.5.073 .
Ok, this is a slightly weird but VERY annoying issue..
Today I stopped being able to turn my TP2 on from standby.
What actually happens is when I push the power button, the phone activates, but the screen remains blank.
Pushing the volume buttons turns it up and down ( I can hear the tones)
Hang up and other buttons work ok.
The soft rest button does nothing.
Pulling out the battery restarts the phone, and the screen then works fine. Power button can then be used to turn the screen off, but will not turn it back on again
So long as I then keep the phone awake, all is well, as soon as it sleeps, I am back to the same situation.
Problem number 3 is that the Charging LED is no longer lighting up, but the phone is charging as normal.
I have hard reset the phone, and also flashed the latest WWE ROM from HTC, to no effect.
Charging LED is off even when the phone is shut down.
errrm...
Any ideas???

OMG, i am having the EXACT same issue. powerbutton will sleep phone but not initiate the screen to turn back on, openeing keyboard lights up the keys, closing lights up the buttons under the screen. Ive also hard reset etc.
Any help!?!?
I'm gonna try task29 and see what happens, could that be what caused it? Thats the only new thing ive donw
hmm, also noticed that when booting android, i get an error message: Something used micropkit_lcd_ctrl. This function should no longer be used.
Since the problem deals with the screen/sleep could this be a hint?
BTW: task29 doesnt help at all =[ cant anyone help?
Are you using Windows Mobile or Android?
Hard reset and see if the problem goes away.
running windows mobile and android. Cant boot into android because I receive that error message previously stated... Hard reseting doesnt help =[
Running WM, and I've done 2 hard resets and a ROM flash.
Interestingly enough, the last thing I did before having problems was to run up and play with the latest version of Android, using the cab install version.
Is there some code for that (perhaps used for the power button to intercept the press) that could be remaining in rom after the reset???
Clutching at straws here...
Ok, found this at the end of the Android thread:

thanks a lot, man!
this pretty much solves it - mines' also working now
Note: Flashing hard spl seems to have fixed mine too!
Hmm... could this HSPL also cause a problem with not connecting the device to PC? (device is not reckognized)
Hard SPL Reflash
Hey there, did you just reflash Hard SPL and evertything was fine? or did you hard reset and reflash your ROM also after reinstalling Hard SPL?
Thanks!
Michael

Thanks a bunch for posting hat here bbilko!! will try when I get home from my classes
Well i tried flashing the ROM, and hard rest but that did NOT work
Hard SPL on top of those did, someone else will have to test JUST using Hard SPL to fix the problem

I just booted up into my current rom(firestorm) and didnt let it sleep, plugged it in and flashed hard-spl, and it works now!! So dont hard-reset, just flash over your current rom.
Hmmmmm...
Just out of interest (as I'm always updating and playing with android) which version screwed with the phone?
Although it seems to be resolved, I'd rather not have to go though the bother of re-installing HSPL
I was using the cab install version
Project Android 031710v2.cab
Just to note further, before using it I had not installed Hard SPL, nor had I flashed my TP2 to any official ROMS
