Bottom buttons stops working.

Hi.
I have strange problem. It starts few weeks ago with no purpose..
Sometimes my bottom buttons doesn't work. It happneds for example, when I'm tying to scroll email with Dpad. Sometimes when i try to scroll thru files in total commander. After scrolling few lines, they just stop working. Upper buttons works. Screen works.
What I did untill now with no results:
- flashed official rom thru PC
- flashed AT&T Official
- disassembling and cleaning lower buttons.
It looks like software problem, but it happends on clean official roms without any 3-rd apps..
Some suggestions?
Thx

do a search for white screen in titles...ur problem may be the dpad connector comes loose and the white screen thread talks about how to fix it

try a new rom my wifes phone did the same thing with at&t official wm6 rom I have since flashed almost every rom from here and never had a problem hope this helps

Thank You. I've tried few roms.. Now running CRC 11
I think it's a hardware problem. I've found some thread about similiar problem. Now I'm testing
Thx Dillsnik

I had this problem with a Hermes and I couldn't fix it no matter what I did. And I tried everything.
It seems it's some weird hardware problem. Soon you'll have problems with the softkeys too.
If anyone fixed this (except flashing a new rom, because that doesn't work), it would be an interesting thing to know.

Well, when it happends, all lower buttons stops working. gren, red phone, softkeys etc.
I just plug and unplug connector few times and for now it;s ok.
I will report if there will be some changes.
Maybe it's time for some changes I think Kaiser's will be cheaper in a moment

mine has been doing that for months (lucky my hermes is my backup device). its really strange but then again expected after ive dropped it so many times as well as throw it at my colleagues when they piss me off.
1) dpad stops responding after some time.
2) call/end buttons stop responding
3) softkeys dont work after this
4) 90% white screen - i can still see whats on the screen but it looks like its washed out and saturated to a sever point
the only thing you can do is if your device is still under warranty get it fixed.

Warrianty it's a faaaar away past

I can't say with any certainty this will help anybody - but I experience this same issue, regardless of the rom... What I always do - hit the Email button... I know it sounds odd, but it always seems to work... It launches email, which (if i don't need it) I just close right away and then the other buttons seem to magically work... I know it sounds lame - but honest - it works on my phone...

If that doesn't work, you may have to try the following link regarding d-pad and white screen

I had same problems, d-pad buttons stopped working then I got the white screen of death. I replaced the ribbon cable but it didn't help. I replaced the d-pad pcb board and everything is back.

Where did You get this board? Ebay?

Sorry for diggin this topic, but cellurar.dr is not responding my emails and I can't find/buy this board..

I have just bought a BA of the bay with wm6.1, and Ive come across this screen with this cool batt indicator, and I was wondering if it comes with wm6.1 or will I need to download a prog to get it, and if so any idea whats its called??

Just been browsing the net and the software is called "SPB Mobile Shell", basically it totally transform windows mobile. Anyone using it on BA and what do you think of it, is it worth buying?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=unHH0xIlQWU&feature=fvsr

its great and really useful but i wouldnt didnt and wont buy it
oh and by the way i was looking at that (i thought i recognised the clock somewhere) on ebay and how much did you get it for, im thinking of selling my baby times are hard.

£60 in total, but Im not happy cos the p&p was £7,he has only just posted to me today, and I won it tuesday night. So prob wont get the phone untill tues or weds

recieved the phone this morning and it has SPB Mobile Shell aready installed, Is there anyway to tell if thats in the rom so if I do a hard reset it wont loose the software??
Also it appears that the phone is locked to orange, the guy said it was unlocked, but the phone wont accept my tmobile or virgin card. So how do I unlock it??

1. for sim unlocker, have a look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=240784
2. in general, programs installed are gone after hard reset. but maybe, just maybe, the previous owner wrote a custom extrom and put it in the actual extrom storage, that is technically possible but very unusual, what you can do is:
- check your memory, if it says 60.30 mb, you don't have an extrom, meaning after a hard reset, EVERYTHING is gone, maybe even office and other system essentials.
- if your memory states 43mb, you still have an extrom, so either the previous owner flashed the device wrong, or, as mentioned before, he maybe made an own internal extrom, if you go to the wiki and download the extrom_unlocker, you can unlock, then unhide it and check, which programs will install after hard reset, because they are listed in the extrom then.

Sorted out those 2 probs and yeah the mem was 60.30mb. After a lot if messing about with it I decided todo a hard reset cos couldnt get ie running from wifi. I said yes to 2 and 3 in the boot loader, but now when I turn it on, R and G has no numbs anymore but G says 5.60.00 WWE. Also When the screen goes off or when I turn it off, the power button wont turn the screen back on unless I do a soft reset... What have I done and how can I fix it???

PHEWWW, Just done another hard reset and all the numbs have come back and it seeens to be turning on ok now..phew

Im pleased to say this phone is doing everything I want it todo, mainly remote desktop so I can control winamp on my main pc from in bed,
1 small prob, not really important I guess, but its saying Im on t-mobile, but Im on virgin. Is there a easy way to get it saying the correct network on the today screen??

ive had that problem and i think i have a rough explanation.
I am with ASDA mobile, now they use Vodaphone's signal towers and when im on the today screen i see vodaphone - not ASDA. But when i stick the sim in another phone (Sony Ericsson K800i) it says ASDA Mobile.
So the reason is that our blue angels dont accept being forced to display "ASDA Mobile" (in my case) but my K800i accepts getting told what network to display from the sim card.

How odd, anyway its not a big deal. Got another question for you guys, is there anyway to make the scrollbar in the contacts wider in wm6 so its easier to scroll. Cos im not using SPB Mobile Shell anymore, as I need to make the phone as easy as possible to use, cos both my mum and I use it and shes not to hot with gadgets.
Edit: Also whats the best registry editor for wm6??

Just realise you can scroll though the contacts with the buttons on the phone, and to be honnest I think that will be even easier for my mum.
Ive also install "slide 2 unlock 2", that has a cool feature, so when your in a call the screen goes blank so you cant accidentally press something with your ear or whatnot.

Touch Fingers Is not Friendly with android !! [UPDATED 27/april/2k10]

Hello all developers
this is heKCEr , a reverse engineer
well , I have opened this thread , caz I want every one see it
and we want to fix this problem alone,
We know that LCD of HD1 is still not friendly with android , also you know that some body , thanks to him , tries to fix the high jumps when you scroll between the pages
To celebrate The screen , There is one way , only removes the parameter that person put them to fix the LCD which is this , "msmts_calib=0x395.0x3c9.0x79.0x77" and celebrate will run , but its very bad not useful
another way that I found which is better, we know ubuntu now runs over HD , celebration is very will , after doning the celebration , ubuntu celebration gives you the axis then write them in a paper fastly or if you are slowly every time before boothing ubuntu remove previous celebration file , redo celebration , and write the missing axis
ok now put them in msmts_calib and see the result , write axis of your fingers here ,
and after we see over 12 or 13 results from you
I will generate a gerneral one as like that person who tries to fix up the msmts_calib by giving a general one which is 0x395.0x3c9.0x79.0x77
thanks, if you dont know how to do that ,so plz wait until I attach pictures step by step as soon as possible
thanks

Replace this in startup.txt
msmts_calib=0x395.0x3ac.0x79.0x76
gives you more sensitive,easily switching between pages
I am trying to fix it as much as i can
tell me your feeling

I just try the new setting, it's off (not as good as the original).
The original is quite good in terms of the accuracy (X,Y), the problem is the location jumps very quickly for 2 points (sometimes start out of the screen, and the 1st-wrong point is always on the left) when there is only 1 press, i wonder what is the issue because in WM is fine. Can it really be fixed just by command tweaks, or is it compatibility issues between screen and driver?
try out 'pointer location' under 'dev tools' in android

I also have this problem of jumping to the left

hi all
me too
it is with this android 2.1c distro and it strangely going more over the time of use.
To the left....
if you touch it in the left side sometimes it jumps the page not fire the widget...
I ve tried the new proposal for the x and y alignment but the calibration is then more of.
I also tried the dev tools pin point and it shows various from just a mil of on instant touch to up too 7-10 mils measured on the screen.
Is there a way to calibrate the screen without a imputing the values?
regards

hello again all ,
hatkeeper,fazm,xiadz
sorry for delay
ok remove the current points and go to old one
deal with LCD as something sensitive , Dont push too much
and if you want to run a program , press on icon with an theta =45 degree
I know its complicated to do that , but by the time you will feel it better
, Thanks all for those who tries the current solution , give me three days until I make a big difference points and fix the current jump problem which many people have it ,
best regards
heKCEr

ok. I will reverse to the old ones
thanks for trying
for sure will find the best ones
regards

any news about the calibration problem ?
or can we help on testing ?
also i made a new thread for the calibration problem
see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=747878
+ also see my tests: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7543461&postcount=28

i tried your values, but with finger you see the result (made via "paint" and only make points via my small finger)
as you can see. this "jumping to left" is total painfully if i want to write an email or sms
any idea what this problem can be (not happen on diamond)

[Q] Proximity Sensor + Auto-rotation + GPS + Custom ROM + a little bit of Voodoo

Hi
It seems to me that every time someone has a problem with Proximity Sensor, Auto-rotation or GPS together with a custom ROM, they are advised to flash a stock RUU - and then re-flash Custom ROM again - which should fix the problem.
Could someone please explain why flashing a stock RUU should solve such a problem?
I mean..... such advice seems like Voodoo to me and from what I have read it doesnt work half the times.
Is this advice some kind of mass-hysteria where people want to believe it works?
And what is the theory behind the advice anyway?
EG. you have a custom ROM where the Proximity Sensor doesn't work.
Then you flash a stock RUU and 'bring the sensor to life' again - and afterwards you flash a custom ROM and the working Proximity Sensor settings from the stuck RUU is not deleted by the custom rom flash - but everything else is?
And why is it that BT problems seems to be actual bugs in the Custom ROM, but problems with Proximity Sensor, Auto-rotation and GPS is supposedly fixed by the 'flash a RUU'-voodoo?
I am looking forward to your answers
(....yes this is my first post, but I have been flashing and reading for more than 1 year)

Proximity Sensor issues are mostly fixed by installing this app and calibrating it correctly, unless the sensor itself is permanently broken.
GPS problems are ROM related, and they've always been fixed by the dev in time. In the meantime, you see a lot of 'flash RUU' posts, but it isn't related. If the ROM has perfectly working GPS, and if a certain user doesn't, then it is most probable that the GPS antenna (flashlight) cover is having a slightly loose contact with the antenna. I had bad GPS issues quite long back and tried all sorts of solutions, but it was the same with every ROM. I opened the antenna cover and pulled up the antenna prongs a bit, and it works perfectly since then.
About the rotation issue, I'm as baffled as you are. I flashed ViperDHD once to try it out, and I had the problem right after that. I didn't believe the whole 'flash RUU' solution at all, so I tried every possible thing I could think of to fix it. Nothing worked. I decided to try the RUU solution as a last resort and it surprisingly worked. I have no clue how. The best answer I can think of is that there's some low level firmware which only an RUU/stock ROM can change, but this raises a lot of questions and arguments in itself and doesn't make sense if you think about it. So yeah, about the rotation issue, I have absolutely no clue. I've been looking if anyone has an explanation for it but no one does yet. I'd also like to know why ROMs such as ViperDHD break the auto-rotation in the first place, that too only for AOSP JB ROMs. It's one of those things which 'just happen'.

I guess maybe we need to do a hardware hack for dhd, like in the sony psp.. but then that would be wrong..

I guess this whole RUU thing is partly hardware related... Sensor gets messed up with the wrong/unofficial drivers, and only resets and starts to work correctly after OEM drivers detection, after that unofficial drivers are OK once again, until error... Just a theory...

Anyone got a 3.5 mm clickable dustplug working?

There are those 3.5 mm dust plugs available for very low money. I went ahead and bought one. It arrived yesterday. I tryed it directly. But i could not get it to work.
I would like to know if anyone has such working with the HTC10. Maybe mine is faulty?
I wanted to use the "KLICK" software. When i plug in the Button to the 3.5 mm jack i am asked about what i connected. I choose KLICK button there. But it stays without function and i still see that Headset symbol in notification bar. Also the sound is muted to the button.
Then i tryed some other derivates of this software but none made it work.
Mine faulty? Many thanks.
Greetings,
R
PS.: HTC 10 stock EU rom without branding.
PPS.: When i connect a headset and say it is headset, the buttons of the Headset work with the software. But when i say the headset was just a button the sound is still in the headset.

Ah well, due to my repeating trys the plug fell into two peaces. Now it is definitively broken. I'm still curious if anyone got one working? Thanks.

They don't work with the 10. I've tried it with my 10 and it doesn't work. I bought the 3.5mm one with the built in infrared. I've tried my gfs iPhone 6 which works fine. Double check the instructions to see if the 10 is supported.

Hello there! Did you test it with stock ROM? I am thinking of trying hard to find one then, because it seems to be out of stock currently.
Thanky you for the feedback.

Pressy works fine with the stock rom apparently. I had one thrown in the drawer since it stopped working on Marshmallow and I just looked for it after seeing this thread. I finally found it few minutes ago, installed the original app from the playstore and .. yes ... all the functions are working nice. The only annoying thing is that I cannot get rid of the headphone icon in the taskbar (but the sound still goes through the main speaker, like there are no headphones inserted).
Let me know if you need me to test anything else with it.

Yes, works fine with stock rom. Tested with Android 6 & 7.

Thank you for the feedback once more!
So with your help i think that i can come the conclusion, that this special one for 2€ i got from amazon in germany was incompatible and broken. And i will give another product a chance in future. Sadly those ones you had shown me, are quite expensive. Like the 10x of price. Or maybe interestingely. Idk.
It will take a while until i have time to order a new one. Currently i became a bit uninspired since my washing machine burned today and is broken and i have to spend all my spare money into a new.
I will report back with results, when i have sorted things out.
Thank you for Now. Much appericiated.!

Confirmed, works fine in stock and in Viper.

I've got mine semi working with the mSwitch app on Viper10 rom. "The app Formerly known as KeyCut." The only thing is theres a few options the will only work with root permission and i havent been able to figure out how to give it. And its not even asking for it .Other than that, its working ok........

If on custom ROM, can hide headset icon in SystemUI Tuner.
