bottom buttons not working, none of the three. when i try to press back or menu, sometimes nothing happens and sometimes i press above, like menu at home page. And also when i try to keep touching them after a while the phone gets crazy, and starts to make strange things like entering some apps, switching between them, taking screen shots (normally i do not know how to do it), beeping, and going on like this without stopping. if i can press power of, it stops, otherwise it goes on himself.
i try pressing all three at same time may times, and i restart many times. Sometimes it starts normal with buttons working, usually with not-working buttons, but it gone againg Now i am trying to use without buttons, but when i start any apps, i can not back, so everytime i restart ((( offfff
My device is original , original rom without root, or something else. i just install apps from market thats all.
Before it goes crazy with non-working buttons, i just start to use a Bluetooth headset (discovery 975), after pairing with it for a time i use normal both device. and my last app which i install via google market was "GSM Signal Monitoring". Now i uninstall it, and bluetooth is off. But problem is still valid

Have you try factory reset? Backup data 1st.
Happened to me, I got a new screen under warranty.
i did not do a factory reset yet, because backup everything and saving passwords... it is also a hard work
but at last i will do it

Same here, mine also get replaced under warranty and it is a hardware problem
i hope mine's is not a hardware problem, because i have no warranty
but for a 12 hours it works normal, i do not know what effects it but i make bluetooth on, and it seems normal now.
just strange
I had the same problem, they replaced the touch screen under warranty.
Even with an unlocked bootloader.
please please not he hardware problem i have NO WARRANTY
i had a similar problem on my first hox and it was replaced under warranty
my buttons were completely dead. yours seem to still have some life in them. try a factory reset. if that doesnt work then try holding all 3 keys at once for 3 seconds. i am told that this "resets" them
if neither of these work them i am afraid the screen is broken
Yeah it's broken.
In the HTC shop they reflashed the RUU just in case, but, it was broken.
Why do you have no warranty?
i have the same problem with the same facts

Hi friend, just know i read your invoice while i was trying to find a solution in my same problem. My device HTC One X (32Gb official rom, not rooted, android 4.2.2, Sense 5.0)
Most of my friends say that the only thing i have to do is to send it at the service as it is still on warranty. I have tried everything before, like reset, remove everything, but the problem still occurs.
Tomorrow i will try the service
Can this be due to the recent update?

Hi. I've never imagined such a thing to happen at random and I strongly believe this to be an outcome of the recent OTA update (4.4.2, S5). Everything was working fine until today evening when I picked up my phone to make a call and boom...the buttons just stopped responding. I barely stay away from my phone...and I had it functioning fine 2 minutes before they stopped responding.
What could be the cause of it? Is there anyone out here who can please...please shed some light on this. I'm not opting in to do a hard reset yet because I have this thing called 'button savior' doing the job for me but of course it ain't nothing in comparison to the stock thing. Plus, this is annoying to see your device go off on you in such random fashion. Any help will be highly appreciated...really looking forward to hearing from someone.
Best regards,

BUMP!
Is there anyone who can throw some light on this? I have been told that front panel is faulty and it'd cost me approx. 8k+ for the replacement of the entire front panel. I'd rather sell this than spend 8k on it.
Mine started doing the same thing and I also had no warranty for the device. The way I got around not being able to use the physical buttons was through an app called Button Savior. You can download it from the play store and there is a free version that functions perfectly well. If you aren't rooted then install the non-root version. This app puts touch buttons on your screen. It takes a little getting used to, but overall Button Savior was a great alternative for me.

There's no way the buttons will come to life after the reset. I tried all of that but to no use. As a last option, try to place all 3 fingers on the bottom buttons for few seconds (I've heard few cases reporting it to be the magic key but not in my case ). If still the things dont work, the only good option is to download this app called 'button savior'. This will save you from the big replacement expense (I think the front panel is close to 100$+ and about INR 8,000 here in India). As someone else also stated here, it will take you a little while to get used to it but believe me it will still be better than betting that kind of amount on a dead device. Good luck!
An alternative solution for hardware buttons problem

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.

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
Hi, I have a Vadophone branded Xperia that I have unlocked and it works fine most of the time. Sometimes (randonmly) however it does not come out of standby mode when I slide it open or press the power button. The phone still works as it I can still receive calls but the screen remains blank/off. I have to put it away for a while and then try pressing the power button again and sometimes the screen comes back on but sometimes it doesn't and I have to take out the battery to reset it. Its very annoying.
Does anyone else face the same problem and more importantly does anyone have a remedy to this problem? Thank you.
I get it. Just press the power button 3-4 times and it works
Hi ratchetclank,
I have tried it but unfortunately it does not work. Another friend of mine has the same Vodfone branded one and he has the exact same problem. Aparently the unbranded ones do not have this problem. Is there anything else that can be done? Thank you.
anyone found the fix to this problem??
Try with no oficial ROM
it culd be two things
1>Theres something wrong with the button-But as ur freind has the same problem i doubt this
2>Your rom is still the stock rom that came wih your phone.Flash a new rom.Like smaberg touch x10.And then see what happens!!
Cheers
Standby problem
Yeah, I have that same condition with him too, I use smaberg Touch X 10.1, but still have that problem, that happen meybe about 1 or 2 days once. please help, thanks before
Do you have SPB Mobile Shell 3 installed?
The amount of times I've had to hard reset this useless block of metal im supposed to call a phone, is ridiculous. sometimes I install certain apps, other times I dont.
At times where I've had SPB Mobile Shell installed, I get this problem. Times when I dont have it installed, I dont.
hello. i have bought a desire few days ago. yesterday i notice a problem. i have search the internet but havent find anything similar.
when i press the power button to turn of the screen after i press it again to turn on my screen sometimes the screen turns green and i cant do anything.
this thing doesnt happens all the time. but is preaty annoying and i have to remove the battery.
does anybody have an idea what is the problem
I think it's a hardware failure. Best way is to contact HTC Support.
i am not sure if ita hardware problem. because i notice that moso of the time that this happens is when i lock my screen when an application is open.

I don't think you'll find that's an unusual thing to do! I do it all the time, and have never experienced the problem.
As has already been mentioned, chances are it is a problem with you particular device - especially since you haven't had it for long. However, it could be an app causing the problem, so I'd suggest a factory reset in the first place and see how it performs in a more "vanilla" state.
If it behaves itself, start adding your apps back in again, and hopefully you'll find one causing the problem.
Regards,
Dave
i have already did a factory reset a nothing change. i thing the problem is with the lock screen after i press the power button.. i install no lock now on my phone that disable the lock screen and seems to work ok now.
one thing i forgot to mention is that the problem apear after i did a factory reset.
if this was a hardware problem shouldn't be happening all the time?
i just send an email to htc and inform them with my problem.

Turn it round the other way - if it was a software problem, it would be happening to everyone using the same ROM as you.

yes i know that. but since i disable the lock screen. the problem dissapear.
Today I took my phone to the shop I bought it and after half an hour of trying to show to the guy there what's was the problem. He gave me a replacement.

Hello everybody, i'm fresh new.
Also on my htc desire I have this problem, if you are able to use the device, without see the screen content, you can also shut down the phone. I say shut down because the problem disappear if you stop the phone (or leave the battery) for some minute. it's like all the meroy needs to be lost.
I had this problems some months ago, I unistalled one-by-one the apps, and it worked, now I have installed (during the last 5 months) other apps, and from 3days ago it restarted with this problem.

I am doing but I'm not sure it's the best solution.
I think it is related to some apps, some software problem, but I removed almost all my apps.
I noticed also that if I press the lock/unlock button for some secs, the problem there isn't. But it happen again (most of the time) when I put the device on charge, without turn it off, then when it finished it's a little bit hot and the display doesn't work.
I think it's a problem of the lock button, not software.

screen problem
Hi just wondered if anyone else has had this problem bought a desire a few days ago seemed to work fine but it has begun to act a little strange from time to time. from time to time the touch screen will not work just locks up, also the screen goes crazy flipping from one screen to the next, came with android 2.2 but upgraded it to android 2.3 from the HTC official site using HTC sync thought this may stop it, it does not happen as often now but still does it have to turn the phone off then back on again for it to work, anyone got any ideas on this and how I may cure it Thanks for your time.

this is indeed a very weird thing mate, it's happening to a lot of people...
I'm sure it's a tegra3 related issue. Probably fixed on the next update.
Now that i think about it...i don't remember to have turnned off my phone when i had that issue...LOL
in conclusion to this subject, my latest "possible" fix is, fully drain your phone out of juice untill it doesn't power up and charge it again.
it should work afterwards.

Yup. Tried it all and the problem persists. Complete drain, factory reset, secure boot calibration, kill all tasks, ota update to 1.28 (from & to stock), superwiping and flashing a new rom (twice) , running htc's function test and getting "stuck" on the g-sensor test. And more.
Been there, done that.
The sensor doesn't react at all, so rotation won't work and in games like teeter, the ball just sits there no matter how I twist and turn.
And now HTC, via their chat, say that this might not be covered by the warranty since I have unlocked the bootloader. If I turn it in, they'll send it to a service centre, which may decide that the problem was caused by me (which is impossible since it was already there on stock), which would mean that 1) I'd have to pay for any repair or 2) I'd have to pay for "wasting their time" and cough up money for securely shipping it to/from the repair centre. Yay.
On the up side, the normal calibration aborts if I move the phone during the process, which to me would indicate that the sensor is working at SOME level, right?

My question is, was it working when you got it in the first place?
Mine unlocked itself after about 48hours...
The only thing I can remember doing, that I've never said before was that I dropped my phone several times in all possible directions on a very slim carpet as a desperate act...
My thought was, maybe if I drop it and shake it really hard, it might get loose eventually. (Yes I'm a bit crazy... )
It got back to work after 48 painfull hours and lots of failed attempts...
I had this problem, but it was fixed by a reboot. Dont know if that gives you any clues as to whether it is software/hardware related?
Yeah, it looks like some kind of hardware issue. I need to send this phone for repair. HTC has disappointed me - this will be the last HTC phone I purchase. Nothing but problems since day one. Stay people - you have been warned!!!

Actually I'm not quite sure if it worked in the first place, because I bought it used (from a guy who realized he hated Sense after three days). Nothing seems to get it to work, though I'm glad yours did.

Hum... maybe that's why he sold it sorry to hear it mate...
Well, if you are brave enough to do it, do what I did... shake it a lot, and drop it (from low altitude obviously) into a soft carpet... it might sound crazy, but the shaking could be enough to unlock the sensor... corner drop it all around and good luck! going to google it to see if there is any sort of recent found fix...
in the meantime get the app "sensor list" from the market and tell me the brand of your sensors if you can read it.
I had this issue, 3 days after I got the phone. Tried everything I could think of
(fact resets, etc). Still no joy, so I sent it back to the shop.
When they tested it , it was all workign fine again....
However I have a couple of thoughts on this (not tried it out yet so give it a go).
First of all disable that HTC Gestures/3 Finger rubbish. Secondly ensure Fast Boot is off.
Then re-start phone.
Now , Although I did end up like that, I'm sure it didnt fix the problem immediatley following me disabling those options.
All in all there is definatley something screwing up the G-Sensor, which is seemingly fixable/can be disabled. Its just finding out what it is/how you do it!
Slim
I completely agree on you mate. The question is what.
My subconscious is telling me that it has something to do with the live wallpapers but I have no proof. It's just a stupid hunch, but it wouldn't be my first stupid hunch and I was correct so...
anyway, I've just red this...you guys might want to try and do it.

Restart the phone, and go to safe mode (restart, and once you see the HTC logo, long press the volume down button), it'll restart again and go into safe mode.
Go to Settings, Display & gestures, G-Sensor Calibration, then calibrate, make sure to put the back of the phone on a level surface, this time, it shows calibration complete not aborted when I did it before in the normal mode.
Restarted the phone and it works fine now.
Thanks,
Mohamed El-Ghazaly"
when in safe mode, I would attempt everything from a "kill all tasks" in device manager to enabling and disabling auto-rotate in display settings.
Good luck guys.

in conclusion to this subject, my latest "possible" fix is, fully drain your phone out of juice untill it doesn't power up and charge it again.
it should work afterwards.

I did that and i'm so happy now, because the method works for me... Thank you
sent from my HTC One X straight from Denmark
For what its worth I've no issues and have tried to recreate this as I consider whether to return the phone due to screen flicker. Panasonic Gsensor calibrates fine and Elixir gives steady accurate sensor feedback.
Running latest update 1.28.401.9
I have HTC 3 finger gestures off (except one middle one and a v-sign for launching a flagship product with so many issues.)
Sent from this place to that place using the power of shattered dreams and childrens tears.
Hey there guys , I've been searching through the forum topics about my issue but so far I've found nothing close to my scenario.
A few months ago I bought my first HTC phone (M8). Its a great device for sure , despite the fact that I had to return it back twice.
First time it was a faulty microphone , so they sent me back a brand new device. Great isn't it ?
However recently I've noticed a few .... let me call them 'glitches' .
Let me give you some details on what I've experienced with the device:
Despite the issues that i'm going through ... the phone works great, but...
Sometimes the screen wont turn on when I'm receiving incoming calls (same goes for the alarm clock) but the phone is able to recognize touches - i've managed to pick up the call when I swiped the screen in the area where the "green" answer button appears .
The above issue doesnt happen so often but the thing that bothers me is the unlocking issue.
At first I thought that it was stuck or faulty power button.
When the phone is idle for some time and I pick it up and press the unlock button ... nothing seems to happen I've tried pressing it hard ... i've tried pressing it gently ... i've tried pressing it multiple times until the screen wakes up .
Same goes for motion launch unlocking .
When I use motion launch to unlock it the phone only gives me a vibration feedback ... and thats it until I try harder to bring the screen back to ''life'' .
(I can also press my security pattern buttons while the screen is dead and feel the phone vibrating , BUT NOT ALWAYS , sometimes is just .. dead )
I already sent the phone back describing the same problems and they just flashed the firmware , which did not fix any of the issues.
Stock Rom android 5.0.1 , not rooted
Soo what do you guys think? What can I do next .. is it android bug or a faulty unit ?
is it possible to be a sensor problem (proximity , accelerometer)
Already tried factory reset and dalvik cache wipe.
Any advice would be useful.
Thanks for taking your time .

I have the same issue. There are times it takes me hitting the power button 20 times for it to finally light up but I can press buttons with it black. The weird thing is it does it on every single ROM but I havent noticed it on Stock...maybe I'm not using stock enough to see. I'll probably throw stock on there today and take it into sprint and let them replace it.
I have the same problem whether it's on stock or custom ROM (KK or L). I am pretty sure this is a hardware problem. Unfortunately, my m8 is out of warranty so HTC won't fix it for free. I read it some where that it could be a faulty proximity switch so shining a light beam to the top part of the phone may wake up the screen. I haven't tried it yet because every time it happens, I don't have a flash light handy. It is an annoying problem to say the least.
When this happens, I pushed the power button, the volume up button, and swiping the screens. Eventually the screen would wake up and every thing works fine... until the next time.
Its a ****ing pain in the ass.
however none of the sensor reading apps report a faulty/stuck sensor.
the wors thing... I've already sent my phone for repair, describing the problems in details. .. and it took them a whole f*cking month to bring it back to me with no results.
I don't think they will replace it because its a problem that takes time to be experienced...and no one is going to wait for it to happen. ...
Any other ideas?
Should I wait for android 6.0 or should I try a custom rom too see if these problems presist.
Fml I love the phone but this is frustrating.
I have the same problem I think. I just bought an M8 on Ebay. I am S-off, unlocked and rooted, using the Viper Rom currently. I have also tried AICP, the stock Tmobile Rom and a few others. Same issue.
If I double tap, I feel the screen vibrate, but nothing comes on. Then, I keep pushing power button a few times. Sometimes it comes on and sometimes I am too impatient to wait, so I just hold power and volume up.
I also know that the phone internals come on, because after that vibration, I swipe up and push the screen a few times. Then, when I am fiddling with the power button and it does come on, I do see that there is an app already on the screen.
I think this is a rare issue, as I haven't even been able to find many posts regarding this. I may have to get a new one if this keeps going on so bad.

I am experiencing the exact same issue with my M8. I have seen a lot of people stating it may be a hardware fault related to heat and internals but something about how it reacts seems software related.
I really hope someone who has fixed or uncovered the reason comes forward. At this rate I may be switching back to a S4 LTE-A.

I think it IS hardware related. I was able to return that one and got another M8. No problems at all.
