[Q] Hardware buttons sometimes unresponsive - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys I've been putting up with this issue for a while and just wanted to see if it is my device only having this issue.
The issue is that the hardware buttons, mainly the menu, back and search buttons will not do anything when pressed. This occurs frequently for me, although after a few presses it will be back to normal for a while. Sometimes it will not occur for a while, but other times it will continue to occur over and over.
To me it seems like android has registered the button press, but is thinking hard about something else.
I have tried other roms (currently on leedroid 2.2d), I have tried defrost, OD, MIUI, and Cyanogen along with the stock rooted, all of which this occurs at some point. I will try and get a video of it but it's hard to get as it is quite temperamental.
It is getting to the point that it annoys the hell out of me, and am considering purchasing a new phone which I don't want to do.

No one else having this issue I guess. That sucks..

Other users have reported problems with the hardware buttons too:

Well first U have to figure out what reason cause this. Is this becuz of the software or the hardware? Try to flash another clean and stable Rom and see if your button is working now. If not,well...Go to the prepair store to try to fix it...Cheers
well.. my volume rocker just stopped working aswell, and it is caused by hardware fault.
it is completely loose aswell. and i think i can live with it..
you just have to find workarounds for things like vibration mode and stuff like that.
there are apps in the market that can help you.

Hello
This is my first post, so hello everybody
I had a problem with volume button as well. I flashed another ROM and it doesn't help, so i decided to send the phone repair under guarantee, and the phone was repaired free of charge

...and if we don't have warranty?
i paid 50e for repair few days ago...I have 6 monts warranty jet but my mobile provider sad that he cant accept hardware issues like that in warranty
There are kits on ebay (or other websites) that include a tool to take phone apart and install a new volume rocker. I did this and it now works better than it did before. However, the volume up does not work, only volume down, but that could be due to the fact I may have done it wrong
if it is not a software issue you gonna have to open phone...
check that metal piece(look picture) on flex that is on right place,
and also check that it makes "click" when you press it with a nail or pencil.
if it is not in right place it wont make contact and it won't work.
to place it in position you can try using hair dryer, heat it and move it to center(look picture to see where it must be)
why that happens?
combination of high temperature (in the car during the summer...) and high usage of volume button.
This has been happening to me for a few months too. It clicks but nothing happens, I can't get it fixed and I've flashed dozens of ROMs so it's not a software issue.

To be honest, its just one of the terribly made bits of the phone. That and the sim card cover.

One X Dead

hey guys,
so my friend got a One X, that's Dead...pretty cheap...and we're trying to revive it.
up till now, the phone only vibrates when pressing the power button, screen doesn't wake up. how to access the bootloader "if it's even accessible"?
any way to know if it's fixable?
Uhh, it doesn't sound too easily fixable. If the screen isn't even turning on, you're off to a bad start. Sounds like some kind of hardware fault, not something you'll be able to flash to fix.

That's a hardware fault maybe faulty flex cable

if you look at the phone, it's very clean, i can tell it never had a smudge or any fall...also the screen is clean, no scratches. quite a catch! what could have made the flex cable go bad?!
in the boot animation the screen is quite good!
You say in the boot animation the screen is good, does it ever clear up entirely? You COULD get a display like that from software, but it's more than likely hardware. For example, running Gingerbread ROMs on the Infuse with Froyo bootloaders cause similar rainbow effects due to a change in coding, so you can POSSIBLY have a scrambled display without a hardware failure.
It may have just been a faulty phone and that's why it looks like it's in good shape. It's not necessarily something that someone broke. It could be a bad GPU chip, it could be a flex cable as mentioned, it could be a lot of things. If you (or rather your friend) got it for cheap, and you want to try opening it up to inspect the cables, you can find disassembly threads and videos to tell you how. You could be going on a wild goose chase though.

sometimes it boots up with that white messed up screen, sometimes it boots with the sense 4 lockscreen. lags a lot while trying to unlock the lockscreen, after that all hell breaks loose and screen becomes messed up pretty bad.
thanks for the tips man, i will try opening it up and having a look inside.
it could be a bad factory outlet as a friend suggested...

Well, hell, you can try reflashing the software if you can see enough in recovery mode (vol down and power at the same time). I can't see how it would hurt it any more. From the sound of it, you either have VERY messed up software, or more than likely, faulty hardware. Does it seem like the display works any better when it's been off for a while (cold)? If it gets worse the longer it's on, or if it had been on and you just rebooted, it would point more towards a faulty gpu chip to me and the heat causing the problem to come out.
Not sure about how warranties transfer or if they do at all (might depend country to country too), but you could see if it's still under warranty and can be sent in before you open it up.

Hmm... weird. Not sure what to say. Well, good luck. I hope it works out!
What honestly it looks like to me is that they tried to flash a american version of a rom on to the phone so you have the improper bootloaders and such. hopefully this works for you.

I know I don't own an one x, but I do have a HTC Rezound, and I cracked the screen in it, and mine did the something while watching YouTube videos, but then it just went back to normal, this happened twice to me. I thought my screen was going out, but if yours is doing it and there's no physical damage, had to be something in the phone, or maybe software is that even possible? Lol.
Just thought I'd share what happened to me..

yes it could be a software issue. so your phone had that issue after changing your digitizer/screen? and then became normally by itself later on...?

Screen problem?

Hi there, lately I got a strange issue:
Sometimes my screen vould go unresponsive, the phone vibrates twice and It will show the recent apps. The capacitive buttons from the bortom do not work either. Wherever I touch the sxreen the recenr apps list would dissapear, if I touch rhe screen again, they reappear, but otherwise rhe screen is unresponsive. I can switch the phone off, then back on, and also unlock the screen, but then it becomes uresponsive again. This is happening randomly, for intane right now my phone works great. This was hapening on Andromadus audacity b 5 and alsi on sensewich b 7. Anyone else experiencing this or has a solution? Rhanks in advance.
Sent from my HTC Desire Z
I'm experiencing similar issues on mimicry. Specifically my capacitative buttons are giving me a headache. I'm currently on elite mod with ics touch buttons enabled for safety. Haven't faced the capacitative buttons issue yet since 2days but my entire screen stopped responding to touch(tested with keyboard to make sure the phone didn't hang) randomly...
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
The phone isn't hanging, on sensewich beta 7 when I press the trackpad I get the mouse pointer wich I can move, just the touchscreen and the capacitive buttons are playing crazy. It is also very hard to replicate the issue, so sendig the phone in for repair wouldn't do much good, because there is a good chance for it to behave normally...
Sent from my HTC Desire Z using Tapatalk 2
Same with me dude. I'm able to use the menu button on the keypad to confirm that the phone didn't hang. At times there are only random areas of the screen which won't repond to touch. Guys please help us confirm as to whether this is a hardware or software issue..
Sent from my HTC Vision using xda premium
Edit: Flashed EliteMod CM7 only to find out that this issue remains to persist. Looks like i'll have to get it repaired.
I am very curious how you would replicate the issue for the service tech. If you just send it in, most probably they would send it back to you saying it's all good. If you do send it for repair, please update this post with the findings.

+ setting to performance doesnt change a thing either? Sorry, i'm all out of any other suggestions.
Hey i returned my phone to stock froyo 1.34 with s-on.. First day capacitative buttons started working. Second day the non functional horzontal strip in the middle of my screen started working. I'll stay on this stock for a week to test my screen thoroughly and then decide whether its a software issue or hardware. By the way i actually opened up the phone to every part and then put it back together, maybe this is what helped me.

Unfortunately not, I set the governor on performance, but to no avail. I have no idea what's causing it, as it is very random. And it happened to me on both andromadus and sensewich roms, so I doubt it is rom related. I am just too lazy to return to stock and see if the problem persists...

I see that lately a lot of "screen not working" issues appeared. Could it be kernel or ICS related?
Anyone sent it in for repair and already got it back. What was fixed?

Whether I'm on froyo stock or gingerbread stock my capacitative buttons aren't working. Even parts of the screen take random inputs without my interaction. Areas which have the issue respond perfertly to my touch on the lockscreen(lockscreen always works perfectly). I'm giving my dz for service tomorrow. Let's hope. It gets fixed.

Hi,
I'm facing a similar issue ever since I rooted my device. The touch screen behaves strangely at times (becoming totally unresponsive in morning when I use it after around 6 hours of inactivity), the hardware buttons don't respond either. I keep on rebooting the devices, fixing the permissions etc. and then after some time, life comes back to the touch screen and the buttons. They also become unresponsive at random and it is very irritating when you pull your device to call someone or receive a call and then it does not respond .
Also there is a horizontal strip in the touchscreen that doesn't resister any touch (I cannot play 'Frontline Commando' due to this). Strawmetal! is your device still behaving properly after all the fixes you did? Have you reverted to ICS yet and found the phone working properly? This issue is draining all the charm of having a rooted mobile away :crying:
I do not think rooting is the problem here. My phone was rooted and my problem started only a few weeks ago after my son dropped it on the kitchen tiles... Now I reverted to GB stock and this moening I had the freeze once or twice. However, I don't need to restart the phone, power button does the trick for me. All I do is switch off and back on. And the screen and capacitive buttons are responsive again
Sent from my HTC Vision using Tapatalk 2
Hi Regius,
I agree rooting may not be the problem but there are chances, though slim, the roms we are using they have some problem. In my case, I have another probable culprit: I was caught in heavy rain. Though I protected my device but I doubt that some moisture seeped in. I rooted it after that so cannot say clearly what is behind the issue. Since I saw that Strawmetal is also facing similar issue, I made a wild guess. Now I'm trying to muster enough courage to dismantle the device and reassemble it. I can also notice a small smudge inside the screen at the top-right corner (perhaps this is a proof that moisture seeped in).
Coincidentally, I used Strawmetal's directions for rooting that he has put at one place. Wonderful effort on his part.

One more issue that I forgot to mention: I cannot pull down the notification bar directly (as we did in gingerbread) but have to manage it via launcher settings. I remember this issue got corrected occasionally when I used sense based roms initially.

Well guys returning to stock seemed to work for an hour. But then it started all over again. So fearing i would lose all control of the capacitative buttons i rooted back and am using Elitemod with the on screen buttons enabled. My capacitative buttons have comepletely gone out( no amount of reboots, kernels would fix it). So 2 weeks ago i took it to a htc service center. Heads up*(I'm living in a metropolitan city). The guy there says that they are not *authorized* to open the hardware of the phone. They only look into the *software issues* which I guess is just flashing an RUU (F*** you HTC). He says they haven't received replacement parts for many phones since 3 months and he recommended me to leave my phone with him so that he could contact me when and if the parts arrive(facepalm). I quietly walked out and went to another service center where they told me the same thing, but that they would send my phone out of the country and I would have to pay $30 for the shipping whether or not my phone is fixed. Charges for repairs would be extra. So all I did was hit up ebay and ordered a digitizer for $40 on August 1st. I got shipped by the seller today. I'll be receiving it by 24th of this month.
In the meanwhile I needed a rock solid phone for my regular use and I knew that if I got an android, it would mostly remain in the recovery mode. So I got myself a Nokia E6($370). This is giving me 6 days of battery backup on heavy usage. Standby is rated at 30 days( I guess it'll give me 20).
Let's hope that I get a working digitizer from that seller and it will fix the issue on my beloved DZ.
Finally HTC go dig your own A**!!
EDIT: Before all these problems started my phone slipped from my lap and slid across the floor without taking a single scratch. This drop might have been the cause.
Hi Strawmetal,
Just one more check: install a sense based rom (4.0 would be better as they are not as heavy as 3.5) and see if the buttons respond! Just a gimmik but I realise by device responds better when one a sense rom.
And HTC is dying its death...they are closing business in some countries, shares are falling

G2 types by itself, is unresponsive

Hey all, I've had my G2 for over a year now and I love it. A few days ago, the phone started going haywire. The screen has become unresponsive in some cases, while in other cases, it seems to have a mind of its own. It literally starts typing and keeps typing by itself (it seems to like typing the number 4 a lot). I tried installing another rom (CM7), but to no avail. Sometimes if I have the keyboard open, it helps a bit, but it doesn't totally stop the phone from doing things on its own.
If anyone know why this is happening and especially how to fix it, please give me a heads up.
Thx

Lets just say your device has come to an end or you probably overworked it during its "youthful" days is quite common but for the time you have used it, it should still have alot of life in it i've had mine for over a year and its still cool. For the solution i think you should send it to the technical guys maybe an HTC service center or any good mobile service center cos i totally think this has nothing to do with software its hardware.
HIT THANKS IF I HELPED

It's very likely that the screen digitizer has been damaged somehow, as this random touch signal behavior is a typical telltale. As you have verified that it's not a software issue by testing it in another ROM, a screen replacement would be likely needed. Send it back to HTC for a repair/replacement if yours is still under warranty, otherwise there will be third-party repair shops that you can consider.
Thanks for the responses guys. Sounds like dtt hit the nail on the head. I'm gonna look into replacing the digitizer myself. I think I can do it without a problem, and I don't have much to lose anyway if it goes wrong since the phone is unusable right now.

Random ghost swipes while typing.

Am I the only one experiencing some random ghost swipes on both Asus and Google keyboard while typing fast on my Zenfone2 4GB? Don't occur consistently, just here and there but annoying overall.
It's almost the same behaviour of my previous OnePlus One, who had the 1+ possibly knows of what I'm talking about.
Didn't have the chance to record a video thou, but I will.
I would RMA. I had the same issue on OPO, absolutely terrible.

Yep. I guess you know what I'm talking about.

Just a thought... D'you have swipe typing enabled?
Otherwise, it sucks you got hit with the same issue on two completely different devices. Zf2 actually rated as among the best in touch response. If your issue does persist, you probably got a lemon. =/

Yes, swipes are enabled. I use to type in both ways because some words are easier to get written with swipes especially on one hand use. I'm quite a fast typer, could be my fault, I guess. But didn't have anything like this with my previous android phones (zte blade, nexus s and nexus 4). It isn't that frequent, but it happens and after the 1+ burst I don't feel confident and comfortable anymore.

I am noticing this occasionally as well... it seems to happen in the bottom left-ish area of the screen... to this point I have assumed it to be some wild coincidence related to me accidentally touch another part of the screen while holding the phone.
I got hit with this issue on my 1+1 which is why I bought this phone as I couldnt even unlock my screen, what I noticed is once the heatwave over here hit, 1+ started having issues with typing (same as OP) and everytime it was hot it just wouldnt type correctly. I'm not expert at all but Im thinking it has something to do with the hardware and over heating as 1+ forums are filled with ppl with the same issue. I downgraded all the way back to the very first firmware and was still present.

Well with one plus was slightly different because it suffered of some serious hardware related problems, mostly connected to the bad grounding of the digitizer. There were some "triggers" that lead to an impossible typing, once you got above some thresholds of temperature or usage, the device was done and nothing could revert back.
Using Yet Another Multitouch Tester the 1+ looked totally gone wild especially when testing different touches on the same x-axis. This problem doesn't occur at all on my Zenfone2 in any condition.
Update: wrote to the CC, the guy told me that is something related to the multitouch behavior of the ASUS keyboard. So, I thought that basically it doesn't recognize two different typing so near in time and swipes instead, merging both touches in one gesture. The disappointing thing is that it does the same also when typing on a multi-touch enabled keyboard like the Google one. Still waiting for a reply to my last email where I asked what I could do furthermore to check things out.
does anybody experiencing this right now? for me it's getting heavier and CC won't do nothing about.
I had this issue on my previous phone i.e nexus 4 and after few days my touch stopped working, so it is better to visit service center and get the touch panel replaced
