yep, so most of these cases are related to HW problems, you probably need to change the digitizer...

Hi guys.
So i managed to get my desire wet/damp and whilst it still works it has developed 3 issues:
1) The weirdest of all - the phone wont go into standby, as soon as you press the power button or let it timeout the screen goes off and they instantly turns back on to the lock screen. If i leave it, it will timeout again on lockscreen and come back on, it does this forever. I have done factory resets etc, all the same. Weird right
2) Volume keys do not work - think means i had issues getting into recovery. Finally found a widget to do it and then....
3) Trackpad does not work in recovery so i cannot re-flash or try any new rom to see if that fixed (1)
Proper catch 22
Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks
Brisgstfer
UPDATE
OK I HAVE AN UPDATE:
The plot thickens but i have managed to S-OFF my Desire and eventually install Clockworkmod Touch which obviously doesn't require me to use the trackpad button so I was able to use Recovery. I wiped the phone and tried reflashing the ROM i had been using (Insertcoin) but this made no difference, the phone still keeps waking up immediately that it goes to sleep (either with power button or by sleeping timeout).
So i decided to install a completely different ROM (CM10_VJ_4.1.2_v3.0) and this installed fine. Now the phone will go to sleep and stay asleep if I press the power button. Problem solved I thought!
Now when the phone is asleep 50% of the time, trying to wake it with the power button will cause it to reset immediately and goto the white HTC screen. When it restarted it sits on the unlock screen and keeps timing out, screen goes off, then immediately on again - weird. If i unlock and lock with power button it will behave. For some reason the Search key will wake the phone every time no issues. Only the power key to unlock causes it to reset. Phone is sleeping according to Battery info.
Any other suggestions for what I could try. Could this possibly be something hardware related now? If there a way i can log the key presses or reason it wakes/resets?
Any help really appreciated, the phone is pretty unusable with this reset issue now.
THanks

May be a hardware issue. But try installing a lighter ROM like dGB or MildWild and see if the issue persists.

Thanks mate. So i tried this and installed CM7 today and have discovered something. As i said above the volume down button doesn't work and the volume up only works with some persuasion. Once i installed CM7 the problem where I lock phone with power key and it instantly wakes up now persists (on the JB rom it at least stayed asleep but reset if power button was pressed again).
However whe i changed the display timeout to 15seconds i watched as it timed out and instantly woke then noticed the volume would increment down one notch each it woke up again. This leads me to think that rather then the volume down not working at all it is actually stuck down permanently and could be causing the issue here. Is there any way I can find out if this is the case and disable the volume keys through software or do i need to open up the phone and disconnect it?
Thanks for any help - i think we are getting there!

Flash a ROM which can be unlocked via trackpad and volume can be adjusted from the phone settings without touching volume keys and the power button on the top.
I recommend MildWild5.8 based on CM7. When I was on it, I totally forgot about volume and power keys because all the phone operations can be done without them.
Thanks thats a great suggestion. I actually worked out that the trackpad is being pressed down constantly too because on CM7 when i disable trackpad to wake the phone actually stays asleep.
Is there any way to disable both volume and trackpad buttons at the kernal/system level?
Hello,i bought (lcd+glass) whole new display, my other one was broken. I managed to put on the new display but when i turn on my phone the screen stays black, those 3 buttons at the bottom light up and are working, the phone is on, i can change the volume and stuff. What could be the problem, i have checked the cables. At the start i was checking does the display even works as i connected the one cable and the screen seemed to be working fine it turned on. But after that i have tried and tried a lot of times but now it wont turn on, the phone is working, 3 buttons ar bottom work as i touch them there is vibraton. Does anyone knows what could be the problem?

if everything is working and the cables are ok then the problem must be the screen...maybe you got a defective one

hmm, as i said the screen was working fine at the first 2 times, but then nothing happens the phone is working, those 3 buttons are working aswell, but just the screen. If the screen is faulty then those 3 buttons also shouldnt be working?

the connection of the digitizer and the screen are different i think if the digitizer is damaged the 3 buttons will not work wid it too but the screen will work
Hey guys, just wanna ask what should i do with this issue. I've had my phone for about 3.5 months now and I just started having this issue this morning. I haven't dropped my phone in any kind of way (no water damage or anything). When i woke up this morning i was trying to to tap it, but it just wont work. I rebooted my phone to TWRP and the back button is working just fine. I thought there was just something wrong with the rom i was using (wicked v5.1, its awesome btw) so i wiped my phone and re flashed it, but it didn't fixed it, I tried flashing a different rom but the results were still the same. Then i thought that its probably because of my screen protector (iloome Tampered screen protector) but then again,I've had the screen protector on for a very long time already, and i never had an issue pressing the menu and back button.
For clarification, which is not working?
You mentioned you tapped the screen and nothing happened.
Is the screen not responsive to touch?
You mentioned that the back button works in recovery.
You also mentioned you never had issues with back and menu buttons.
What is not working, and is the issue intermittent?
hello, thanks for the rep.

Im talking about the capacitive back button, and when i mentioned that it works in TWRP, im specifically talking about the capacitive button, not the on screen buttons like on nexus devices. And it also seems to work sometimes if i pressed on it hard enough while its connected to my charger.

Hmm....
So the back capacitive button is working intermittently.
Sounds like a possible hardware issue.
I know you don't want to, but to rule out the protector, one would have to remove it, but that canbe sa last resort.
If all else fails to resolve issues, and you have insurance, you'd have torremove it anyway. Even if under Samsung warranty and no insurance.
- you can try the setting that's used for gloved hands which increases screen touch sensitivity. I forget it's exact location, but easy to find out.
- you can check if this is a known issue, etc.
- try wiping cache and dalvik cache in Recovery again
I have this E980 G pro and I cant use the soft keys (Back & menu keys), I never dropped the phone and its not cracked, so I dont know why this happens, also sometimes the screen stops responding and I have to turn off screen and turn it on again to use the touch, also the phone goes crazy and starts vibrating by using soft keys but im not touching the phone lol, I wiped the phone, i changed the rom and still happening, I dont know what to do...

Basically, I changed my broken screen (LCD + digitizer) with a new one without the frame. After reassembling the phone, the power button refuses to turn on the phone (it is completely unresponsive). When I plug in the charger, the phone charges, and I can also access the fastboot menu if I hold vol - when plugging in the charger. Both volume buttons are working, the screen and charging port is functional (battery appears to be fully charged as well) so I have no idea why this happened or how to fix it. Has this happened to anyone else? It appears to be a hardware problem (I think) but I really need help from anyone who knows how to fix this problem. The phone was working fine before the screen replacement so I'm not sure what could have gone wrong, please help.

I don't think anyone can help you with a hardware problem. I have a software fix that can give you a invisible softkey power button. One SystemUI.apk should put it in the far upper right hand side of the statusbar, the other on the far right hand side of the navbar.

Thanks very much. Well the help I'm looking for is to if anyone else experienced this problem and how they got it fixed.
Edit: well I got the phone to start up, I booted it from fastboot (via a pc). I downloaded the apps and tried installing them but it kept saying they were corrupted and could not be installed, do I need root access?
Hello Propaway did you manage to get your power button fixed? I'm having the exact same problem right now

The power button on the board itself seemed broken. I ended up using an app to reroute the power button's function to one of the volume buttons. As with getting the phone itself on, I used fastboot to power on the phone. Have you managed to fix yours?
