Front Face Button issue. - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Hi Everyone,
Just wondering if any has this issue?
Ive got a HTC Branded TyTN and I've installed various ROMs on the phone, included the standard rom. The buttons on the front of the phone seem to stop responding after 5 inputs.
For example, I activate the start menu with the Windows Button. I use the D-Pad to scroll down the list, i press it 4 times, the keys stop responding.
The slide out keyboard works fine.
Whats weird is, if i press the Ok button below the track wheel twice, I can then press the front face buttons 5 more times.
Any suggestions. I've done hardresets, Rom updates, im leaning toward a hardware issue. i'd like your input though.
Thanks

Start bar on keyboard

hi guys , i know this might seem a strange question but like most my stylus is loose in the holder and i sometimes need to use the keyboard to do most things on the unit and i cant find anywhere that activates the start option on the screen. I have done it by accident once but nothing since. i have checked the manual and it mentions it no where all operations seem to be around the stylus?
does anyone know what key combination it is ?
I have a 02 phone and unlike tmobile which has a one of the 4 buttons on front setup to do this as one of the defaults.
cheers in advance
It should be ctrl+escape on a full keyboard. It might also be enabled by the windows or context menu keys, not sure what your keyboard looks like.
You can use my VJKeypress to get this as well. I think it's keycode 91, not sure, check my website.

Why not assign one of the hardware buttons to do this, each one can have a duel function assigned either a tap or hold, according to the phone, in reality this doesn't work (unless anyone knows different - latest O2 ROM - not messed around with), whatever you set for a tap is also carried accross to the hold function, go to settings and locate the power buttons icon select it, then select the button you want (ok for example) then assign the <Start Menu> from the drop down box, press OK, the device might want a soft reset (mine did when I just tried this), when it comes back up hit the assigned button, and use the four way thumb control to navigate through the menus, it saves sliding out the keyboard and it becoming loose - Mike
cheers for this when i tried to reassign buttons before like the camera it wouldnt let me change them ..i hate the camera button getting accidently caught same as the record one as well.
cheers for the advance will do that would just like to know for my own peace of mind as well how to use the keyboard to do it, it should be possible.

AE button plus - question

Hi,
I have the following problem with AE Button plus with my Touch HD.
I had the problem with closing the phone during i was taking it out of my pocket.
I installed AE Button plus and assigned only to the Red button a function. All is OK, when the phone is ringing the Red button is not working, but the problem is, that when i pick up, it is not working again and i have to end the call with the touch screen button and it is very annoying.Is it possible this Red button function to work only up to the moment i have answered and after that to have normal button functionallity?
PS. Sorry for my bad English!
AE Button Plus - please help
Please, help me with the above issue!
Thanks in advance!
why is it annoying to use the touch screen to end the call?
I would suggest to leave alone the single click of red button but instead map a double click function you want to the red button.
I've had this problem previously. I love AEBPlus and think it is probably the best app on the phone. You need to uncheck the option under 'other options' for 'drop on red key'. Paradoxically this should not be checked. When checked I cannot drop on red key but when unchecked I can end call using this hardway end key. Let me know how you get on!
The AE Button Plus didn't seem to work on my Blackstone (HD). It would work after being reset but after a while, the mapping has no effect anymore. I want to map the volume up/down button to "Up/Down Arrow" and the Long Press of the Volume Up button to run the S2U2 application. Anyone has similar issues?
I have problems with AEButton too. I assign "volume up" to turn display on/off at one click. Sometimes, it works. Sometimes, it brings up the voume control. Annoying.

That is exactly my problem. I should not have paid for the software if I knew that it works intermittently.
Do you have some taskbar installed? Try to remove.

Disable the power button while using the keyboard?

EVERY time i use the keyboard for writing a text message my left index finger accidently touches the power button, turns of the phone and discards my halfway written message.
Wouldnt it be great if the power button could only be pressed if the keyboard was closed? Anyone have a solution ?
ditto
glad to know I'm not the only one having this problem...
I saw this problem raised b4 before I had a touch pro 2. Now I see it raised again.I now have the device and I dont know how your finger comes in contact with the power button. I am only small though 5'6 so maybe my fingers are not big enuff to make this happen.
+ if you accidently switch off just tap the power button and your work should still be there.
I'm having the exactly opposite problem: While in keyboard mode it is very difficult to use the power button. If the device turns into standby I have to press a multiple times to hit the right angle toget a responce from the TP2. After all, I never once accidently hit the power button when using the keyboard.
I have the same problem! Really annoying...
same here this is a pain! your left finger nearest your thum catches it sometimes dosent it!
any regedit update or hack??
any one.... i have had a look and killed my fone a few times testin it... drivin me crzy
Same issue here, when I hold the device with the keypad out I keep ik between my 2 index fingers while typing with my thumbs.
The middle segments of my left index finger is exactly on the power button, and the phone goes standby or does not respond on the keystrokes of the keypad and seconds later (3) it pop's-up a "do you want to power down the device now" question.
Would love a tweak that disables the power button when the keyboard is sliced out.
Same problem here! would love a solution, though i don't have one... You could train yourself not to put your left index finger on that power button perhaps...
Exactly as Zaleo describes, I have the very same problem. Trying to teach my self not to rest my fingers up that far but not always that easy.
Could AEButton or HButton perhaps do this by remapping the power button to 'nothing' but only on the condition that the keyboard is slid open?
I have written a script that will achieve this.
It is pretty basic - I am no expert.

Keyboard intermittent / stops working

The keyboard on my TP2 (Verizon) intermittently stops working (no key press registers, however the buttons on the face of the phone still do). After soft reset it works again. This is with different ROMs. I'm thinking, perhaps, there is a loose connection internally. It also has odd crashes, but this might only be a ROM problem as it is much less pronounced with the latest ROM I'm using (Elite team ROM).
Diagnosis? I'm reluctant to send it into Verizon for just this, as its only occasional. Wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing
I'm having this same exact issue. I'm using the latest ROM from HTC. Sometimes when I open the keyboard in an app, like texting or email, the keyboard is genreally non-responsive. When it's in this state, the enter key goes to windows Apps but all other keys failed to work. I also test by pushing the FN to see if the FN light tunrs on.
What's strange with mine is the keyboard will work when it's open like for phone use, but when open with an app like text/email/bing, it doesn't...
Like previous poster, not sure if hardware ro what...
This may not have anything to do with your problem, but..
I have the PTT button on my tilt2. I have a case that wasn't designed to encompass that button, so it gets covered up (I had a find time finding a case that did actually fit!)
I have the PTT button assigned to do nothing, but with it being pressed down, it makes my keyboard non-responsive as well as disabling the arrows keys on my touchscreen. It will however work for a while after restarting my phone, but it always goes back to the same thing.

Thank you very much for posting this. I do have the same exact setup, I have the PTT button unassigned and I too have a cover that covers it. So maybe it's pressing it down causing the problem.
I hope this is it and really appreciate your post...
UPDATE:
Sweet, I just checked things out. removed the cover and it would the keyboard doesn't go non-responsive when I push the PPT button, and works when I don't...
By George, I think you got it!!!!
GREAT!!!!

Problems with using home button and keyboard

Hi I have a weird problem, was wondering if anyone else has experienced or knows how I can fix:
It is as if there is a line in the middle of the of the screen going up, from the home button, and pressing anywhere on this vertical line does not register.
The soft home button won't work at all. No problem with the back and multitasking buttons.
Also, the middle of the keyboard, above the home button also does not work. When trying to type an SMS, I cannot press G or V, instead it thinks by fat fingers want a key on either side of G or V. If I use my pinkie finger and specifically press G or V, it does not register at all.
This also means in the Sense UI it is also very difficult to get into the Apps screen as the button is directly on that vertical line.
I am still running stock ROM. I have tried a complete wipe, with no effect.
"Show Touches" is enabled, and it is definitely registering the touches that are just to the side of the imaginery centre vertical line.

Rooting probably won't help, my guess is that your digitizer is dead. I would recommend taking it back to the store and asking for a new one.
