power button = hard reset?! - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General

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

Navigation button problems... Any1 else having them?

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.

Can't power off... volume goes down by itself...

Guys, need help... can't figure out if it is a soft or a hard problem...
Have had SX66 for 3 years. Almost never a problem (except for occasional thing when people could not hear me, I could hear them, but after soft reset that thing usually corrected itself).
However, just recently got a real problem.
- Can't power it off. Power buttom only works on powering on, but not on powering off.
- At the same time, the volume window pops up (with two volume sliders, "on", "vibrate", and "off), and the left slider automatically slides down on its own, preventing me from accessing anything else. When I try to do something else, go to Programs, or else, this freaking Volume window keeps popping up, and left slider keeps going down and stays down there.
When I try to increase volume, it keeps going down right after I raise it. And the volume window is almost constantly popped up.
From time to time, it disappears, allowing me to do something for several seconds or even minutes, but then pops up again.
Yesterday, I even managed to do something for several minutes without it, and even managed to turn SX66 off, although I had to press the button for a second longer than usual to turn it off. Today, no luck, can't power it off. If I press it for a bit longer, it just goes in "dimmed" screen mode, but stays powered on.
Any advice?
Thanks.
I guess, I'll have to try to clean the power button and volume slider on the side. Looking for good disassembly instructions. Found one, but more would be appreciated...

I have the same problem. I was starting to think that there is no way to turn of BA . Any help?
I have the same problem, only that mine is a HTC touch dual (niki).
the volume screen keeps popping up, and does a "volume down" command... sometimes it goes away, sometimes it comes back...
:S
Ive got a similar problem ive upgraded my BA to wm 6.1 (Xplod) the problem that i am having is that i cant seem to power it off..only way that im able to do that is by removing the battery..when i keep the power button pressed only the backlight turns off but no the phone..How to i power it off?
and secondly ive a problem with the keyboard..while writing some times i press a key and it keeps typing that for example i write s it keeps writing ssssss or giving spaces untill i press something else...is this a software issue or a hardware issue..cant seem to figure it out
I know this thread has been a while but if anyone has the same problem, you'd probably be interested about what i did.
well i had the same problem of the volume going down by itself and the volume icon pops which basically lets you do nothing.
tried all the approaches thinking it was a software issue. but i finally went nuts and took my torx screwdriver, opened the blue angel and tore off the part in the motherboard where the outer volume lever is attached to.
It worked.
So if you could with the fact you wont a direct volume adjustment at the side, you could probably try it

How I entered bootloader

I hope that this will be able to help someone else who searched as much as I did but was still unable to enter bootloader.
My phone is a CDMA Telus Diamond, pretty much one of the first ones in 'public hands' in the Kitchener/waterloo/cambridge area.
I had uploaded The Mighty Rom, and it worked fine for a few days then I would have to reset often, then the screen stuck and it wouldn't turn off, then when I reset the device it wouldn't get past the screen with the red writing at the bottom. I tried everything to get it into bootloader... then I was just playing around with it now and I pulled the battery and put it back in (device is off). held in the volume down button (on the side), then pressed and held the stylus in the reset button. While those two were pressed, I pressed the power button (on top). voila... tri-color screen!
I know there are lots of threads on this, but I hope this will help someone in the same situation I was in.
Thanks, but it's in the wiki >.>
what I read in the wiki was to hold in volume down and the action button, then reset. That didn't work for me... many many times.
Really? Oh. I'm sorry then I mean I think that's what I thought I had read in the diamond and raphael wiki and I've been doing that so I didn't exactly remember.
Thank you, I had this same problem with my HTC Touch PRO (CDMA) Pressing the power button on the top did the trick!

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!!!!

Desire acting very strange

Hello,
I have a problem with my HTC desire and would greatly appreciate any help. So, this is what happens:i've had the phone for about1 mo.th and had no probl until about 5 days ago when the pjone started acting as if the HOME, MENU and VOLUME UP keys were being pressed,but i didn't press any of them. Sometimes it happened for minutes. Then, it changed,if i pressed the home button, the phone would bring up the volume and the keypad, if i pressed the menu button, it would act as if i would hold down the home button for a few seconds and also, would bring up tje volume. Also, when this happens, the volume down button won't work. Very few times everything works fine sincd the probls started. I factory reseted the phone twice but no change. Everything else,calls, texting, internet works fine, but since the home button is being activated so often by itself, it will close the texting or the internet. No water damage. I dropped it once, but from e very small height.
What shall I do? Can anyone help? Has anyone had the same problem? I really like this phone.
Thank you
1st time I heard of this...
Suggest you to rule out any 3rd party applications.
If you still can't figure it out, you should be taking advantage of your warranty...

sound suspiciously like water damage to me
Hi, I appreciate your prompt reply to my post. I disabled any third-party applications and also, it hasn;t been water damaged, I was careful this shouldn't happen. however, it still continues to act strangely. I found someone describing the same issues with their phone while googling this malfunctioning
If you can think of anything how I can solve this, please let me know,
Cheers,
tim
