Since I updated from windows mobile 5.0 has all the front panel (green phone, joystick etc) buttons stop responding. They work for 5-6 clicks, and then goes totally dead. Only a reboot solves the problem. I have done some searching on google, and found people whose Hermes are suffering from the same problem.
Has anyone encountered this problem?
have you tried flashing back the operator rom you originally had on the hermes? Thats just To see if it is a rom problem and not a hardware problem. I would try that first.
If you still have the problem then look at what software you are installing and make sure they are all work ok in wm6 as maybe it is something you are installing that is causing the problem.
i have the same problem too. i`ve flashed many roms with no effect. please help coz it`s very annoying. i`ve noticed that sometimes when i turn the screen off the keys are still powerd on ... and vise versa...

Hi, to all!
I have a problem with the touchscreen of my hermes alias O2 trion.
When starting from cold state the touchscreen works normal. After some time the screen reacts not allways and shortly after that it does not react at all. Reset does not change anything.
Is it a upgrading problem or is it a hardware problem?
Here the hole story:
I bought a used device with Win Mobile 5 on it. At the first try out it worked, but afer some time the screen did not react to my stylus at all. After a reset it worked again so i dit not pay much attention to this and upgraded to official Windows mobile 6 (which was downloaded from O2). Update worked fine.
Then i ran a rom update on the computer to change the start screen. The tion disconnected (update stopped at 0%). Little shock, but the trion still worked. The program and radio versions did not change.
First thought: this was no official update, so trion did not accept it. Was something installed or was everything blocked?
Could this make problems?
What do you think?
Thanks

Did you try to re-calibrate your screen? It could be a question of the screen loosing calibration so bad that when you press it, it works but you are not HITTING any buttons, because the calibration is off...
I have that problem with my Hermes, I need to recalibrate several times every day, especially after sliding out the keyboard (since the screen flips then) .
There's a very nifty short-cut to the calibration app: press the middle button on the D-pad while pressing the messaging button to go to the calibration screen, then press the middle D-pad button to launch the calibration (same as pressing "calibrate" with your stylus).
There seems to be a lot of Herms that have serious calibration issues. I'm personally so tired of it I am thinking of buying something else.
Good luck,
Laz
It's KNOWN hardware issue where the processor heats up and *somehow* transfer heat to the digitizer which make it unresponsive. I got a Hermes just like that laying around. Can't fix it.

Thanks!
Today the touchscreen worked good. Even playing spider solitair was possible. Then i pluged it into power supply and the device got slightly warm. The touchscreen did not work any more.
Could be a heating problem of the prozessor like Mikro_ Tech described. Thanks by the way
How can i be sure it is this problem and not something else?
@LazPL: That was one of my first thoughts as well and i did.
When the Touchscreen works, it works just fine and accurate. Then it behaves strange (sometimes not corresponding to touches, programms close all of a sudden) and shortly after that it doesn not work at all.
@the_passenger: The Hermes Version is HT 626... Anything special to this, because the link just lists screen allignment issues for this modell?
What do you think of the solution from the link LazPL posted?
hi there!,my tytn worked great for over one year (never dropped,treated like a king;p) till yesterday ,all front buttons except d-pad just stop working, at first i have done HR but it didnt solve the problem then i reflashed device with several roms and still buttons dont work (yeah they work once for about 10s) ,so it makes my device rather useless as a phone
it looks for me like a hardware problem but i am not sure what really is going on and if it is possible to fix it somehow.
maybe someone has a solution for that?
any help will be appreciated

Quick question......you say you performed a hard reset?? This action requires you to use the two front soft buttons and the stylus...therefore those buttons must have worked??
I suggest you try flashing a new ROM to the device and seeing if this remedies the problem?
i used clear storage, but anyway first i used black satin then reflashed to schaps and then to new Pays 6.1 rom and buttons still dont work,so for me it doesnt look like problem with a rom
yeah
softkeys works when i perferm HR ,i checked it right now,but still they are useless
I have the same issue, the buttons work sporadically across several roms, including the official release... I too, have determined that it is a hardware problem... I am sending mine back for warranty repair, I just hate to be without it for any length of time... I also have the screen problem, where it fades to white and sometimes a soft reset doesn't work to bring it back to a visible state...
lol
it back to work all buttons works
Device start up failed due to sudden loss of power. Please click "Yes" to continue...
"Device start up failed due to sudden loss of power. Please click "Yes" to continue. Note: Do not remove battery before device has been completely shutdown (OFF)."
I get this message when I reset my PDA after some heavy surfing the internet or mail trafic (GPRS). I'm still not sure what the real cause is.
I tried a different battery, SD card, CE version (official HTC upgrade) memory location for my IE cache and sync software to resolve it. The hard resets (that I cannot get around) occur around every other day so you can imagine that this is frustrating! i have been using Active Sync and Mobile Device center (vista) mixed but the problems continued after I stopped syncing my PDA. Now even after a do a hard reset I cannot use the mobile synchronization. Thanks for your help!
No help, but I've had that one too... I suspect there is a faulty batch of Artemis motherboards out there.
Having the same problem last few weeks... Once in a few day's the same error after resetting (because of memory shortage message). Never happened until a few weeks ago. Apart from this I also had some strange, unremovable folders (named a/b/c and so on) a week ago but they disappeared after one of those hard resets. Looks like hardware issues. Thinking about returning the device or even buy a new one...
DO NOT USE THE TOUCH SCREEN.....use the LEFT soft key instead to selec "CONTINUE"
device start up failed due to sudden....
Hello, i have the same problem and i don`t know what can i do...but if you press the reset button and the camera button a new message will appear.
Mi mail is [email protected], please if you found the solution contact me...
ARTEMIS problem
Hi,have the same problem,any one has some idea how to fix it,many thanks for help.
Isolate the problem
Hi,
I have the same problem. I found so far that if I don't install ANY application to the phone, it works fine (I mean, after a hard reset) Is it feasible to sync. BUT, if I install anything, I mean anything, the problem happens.
Anyone can confirm it with his phone?
Thanks
thnx

Same problem since a few weeks ago after using wm6.5 .
It started a month ago after wm6.5 installation. At the beginning i identified a really high power compsumption with wm6.5, but some other people had the same problem.
After that this problem appeared and i had tried a lot of things. I installed 3 different wm6.5 ROMs and i decided to return back to wm6.1, but the problem persists sometimes.
I can use it with few programs with no much resources comsumption, but with heavy software and a reset, it occurs.
I thought that it is a battery problem, but arghsplutt sais that he as tried different batteries so i've no idea what can produce it.
It is nothing to do with flashing 6.5 ROMs
I had a stock ROM on a Wing and flashed a newer stock ROM and then got the message.
and the whole screen is shifted a bit over to the right (AND NOW GOES INTO CONTINUOUS RESTART)
I suspect that large connector which holds the main board to the video cards?

what you've tried to hard reset the device ....?
hello
i've upgraded my tp2 to the official 6.5 yesterday, and i found that when i open the keyboard the phone turns off!!
anyone had similar problem?
No,I have not such kind off problem.
Only thing you can do now is to flash again. Looks like something went wrong by the instalation... Will work for sure.
may i suggest re-flashing the rom or doing a hard reset? This is the first I have heard of such a problem, my one runs just fine.
I have this same problem. I believe that it is a problem with a slider connection being loose or something. I discovered that if I slowly slide my Touch pro 2 open, the phone would not power off or restart.
i had the same problem from time to time with my htc herald. On the TP2 i didn't watch this behaviour. i think it has something to do with a loose connector of the keyboard inside or something else
i did a hard rest but still the same & the problem happens every single time i open the keyboard...
re-flashing at the moment, I'll report back
everything seems fine after flashing another rom
thx all
Hello, I tried searching but to no avail.
I have an intermittent problem that is getting the best of me with my TP2. The phone application seems to freeze randomly. It seems to usually occur at the end of a call when I go to hang up. I click end, the call ends and the phone just freezes. The call is disconnected, but the end screen is just displayed and my only recourse is to soft-reset.
There is really not a lot of third part stuff on it, in fact, I did a hard reset not 5 days ago.
Can anyone offer any help on the matter...
As always, many many thanks...
Same problem
I also have the same problem. I recently upgraded to WM6.5, but the problem still exist.
Somtimes the light on the bottom remain on as the phone freezes
I'm also having this problem, infact it keeps freezing on the home screen for me..
If I was not so green, I'd consider trying to get more stable by flashing a different ROM but I have no clue how to even begin to find one, select one, and do the operation.
You might try doing a hard reset. That's cured similar problems for me. I wouldn't suggest doing a backup, because you might backup and restore whatever is causing the problem.
Did a hard reset and no backup loaded only 4 days ago.
Any better solution for this problem??
