Flashed a rom that went well. Only to find the Trackball and menu button now act as volume buttons. The volume buttons do the same as normal. Wiped everything but still the same. I know its not the Rom.
Anyone heard of this before and has a solution?
Help me please

At first you should say which rom you flashed..
It was the NeoPHYTE rom. But since I have tried cyanogen and modaco but no difference to the buttons. Quite annoying. Have tried the Bricked fix but made no difference either. Searched and found just one other instance which the user had not modified phone in any way.

I had that problem after i dropped my Desire in a glass of Tia Maria and coke. My trackpad started to die slowly. Menu button was messing with volume and the trackpad swipe would just make volume go down.
Eventually my trackpad died totally and all is normal now. Has your device come into contact with water AT ALL. Even slightly?
No not at all. Thought I would try a new Rom and all went well and that was it. Now in recovery I have to hold menu and push Trackball to select or it selects and straight away goes back as it does both commands. Selects and volume down at the same time. The menu button acts as home and volume up at the same time.

Hi, i wondered if someone here can help me with my htc desire, i purchased it like this by the way. When i insert the battery and power the device it goes straight into bootloader mode but im unable to select the options using the volume button, is there a way to exit this mode? or is it possible i can use the volume keys of the handsfree headset (i dont have) in case the phones volume buttons are faulty?
Here below is a pic ive taken:

Your input would be highly appreciated, thanks!
Have you removed battery and try booting up again?

hi, yes i have, as soon as i put the battery in and press power it automatically goes into bootloader mode without even holding the back key, which is puzzling..
Did you buy it from a shop? Take it back if so. Is there any movement in the volume buttons or ate they stuck down?

It could be that it has water damage and that is causing the volume down to be pressed by itself all the time..
i compared the volume buttons with a working desire and they feel exactly the same
Is this a new phone?
If so - return it.
This happened to my phone too, which was bought new. Looking around it does appear to be a hardware problem and needs to be sent back for repair/replacement.
I have a T-Mobile G2 and just received the OTA Gingerbread update last night.
I don't know if its because of my phone or because of Gingerbread but I can't do the three finger salute (Power + Trackpad + Volume down) to restart my phone anymore.
Is there a new combination to restart the phone?
Restart your phone? When its off press the power button a few seconds.
Are you talking about booting into hboot? If so press volume(down) and power till the screen comes up.
If that's not what you mean you need to word your questions better

I don't know how I can reword my question any better.
But lets try.
Everything is stock and not rooted to avoid confusion.
Before Gingerbread update.
Pushing the Power button + Volume Down button + Trackpad button allowed me to do a soft reset of the phone.
Now with Gingerbread on my phone, that combination of keys doesn't work anymore.
Now I'm wondering if there is a different combination to achieve this task other than holding the power button and turning phone off and on.
Volume down, camera, and power. Reboot system.

That didn't work.
Did you try Vol up instead of Vol Down ? Normally anyone of the combinations should work(not only reboot, but anything like usb-mode or so)
My power button has been unresponsive more and more. This morning my battery fell out and the power button is not working yet again. I took it apart and the button seems to function properly but it is unresponsive for some reason. The phone works fine other than the power button issue. I'm wondering if there is a different way to power up my phone other than the power button.
Thanks
Some custom roms will power on the device when you plug in the charger. There's also roms that'll let you wake the screen with the volume buttons (may even be an app for that). Sorry I can't name specific roms...I just can't remember which ones do it.

If the power button isn't working properly, take it back in to Sprint. It's under warranty.

My idiot brother spilt sweet tea all over my phone, but I took it apart and dried everything, so now it works great, except for one thing, the power button is stuck, not the physical button, it clicks just fine, but the power button doesn't work(doesn't shut off the screen,show power options, and I can't turn off my phone completely) is there anyway anybody can tell me what I can do to fix this so it works again?

Besides having to wake the phone, the power button is useless to me. I use apps like RomToolBox to restart and go into recovery. Goo.im App can go into recovery as well. When the phone dies during business ours, which never happens, I can plug it into a usb and boot up by holding vol+and vol- to boot or just put into my cars dock and it boots without power button. I use CM based roms with volume rocker wake. besides that, the phone also wakes from unplugging and plugging chargers...Power button doesn't really matter to me as long as volume rocker wake is enable.
im interested in this as well, my power buttom died once already and got it fixed, but I try to press it as little as possible.
so op, your power button isnt 'stuck' but totally broken? im just scared the my button will stick and stay in a bootloop. Btw you can use 'spob' app to wake the phone using the proximity sensor. Right now im using switch pro and lock the phone and spob to wake it - dont have to use the powee button at all haha
