Hello!
I need some help, I have a problem with my Wildfire. When I press the power button, the screen does not wake up, only after I press it several times does it wake up, and other times I have to remove the battery to get it to work again. Tried the solution for brightness settings bug, it's not helping, tried factory reset, no help either. Also, when I press the power button, the back button, search, home and menu, all light up, but the screen is black. The ROM I'm using is DK Custom Froyo.
Does anyone know what to do?
Thanks in advance.

I tried pressing the trackball, but nothing happens, I will try flashing my ROM, I was going to flash it as a last resort, but thanks for your advice.
I'll let you know if it helps to reflash.

It could also be that your min CPU frequency is set too low.

Reflashing didn't help, I'll try modifying the CPU frequency.
Yesterday, I turned the phone off and it took me 4 hours to power it back on, when I pressed the power button, it just vibrated once and that's it, and when I tried to power it with volume up and power, it vibrated 3 times and green led turned on but nothing more, volume down and power gave me no reaction on the phone, I think that my Wildfire is probably getting to the point of no return, so to speak.

My Desire has just came contact with water yesterday.
I suppose everything is fine.
Just that my volume rocker(vol. down) is stuck.
So whenever I try to turn on my phone, it will bring me to the hboot.
I can't even use the volume rocker to get me to the recovery
Is there anyway that I can turn on my phone?
Thank you very much
Can't you move in hboot at all (vol up?)?
Have you tried vol down + power + trackball to reboot your phone? (This way you wouldn't start the phone with power and vol down, maybe that's enough to boot into the rom.)
However if you boot into rom a whole new set of nightmares would greet you. Phone always silent etc. (Yet you might be able to use button remapper to assign "nothing" to that button.)
If I were you I would pop out battery and put the phone in slightly elevated temperature (white some free air movement) and hope it would completely dry out. That would probably enough to fix the switch. How long did you let your phone dry after "weting" it?
Stick your phone in rice with the battery out for a few days, then boot into Fastboot (back & power), and run a RUU. You can find one for your network from shipped-roms.com. Just make sure you download a Froyo one not an Eclair one.
Hmm, I've tried the rice method it doesn't work
I've left it for around 12 hours
I disassembled the whole and sever the volume circuit already :X
However.. it still doesn't work
It still forces me into hboot
I can't seems to get to fast boot either
It would be fine If i can gain control in hboot, so I can boot into recovery and boot into system.
I only want to save all my messages before.. dumping the phone :x
If there any other ways?
Thank you for the help

U can use ButtonRemapper (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=850464) to assign volume functionality to other buttons. This only works within the booted rom, however.

Hmm.. do you have any idea of disabling the volume button?
I'm not sure, what happens if you edit volume down and set state to 'none' in remapper?
Or you can try editing
/system/usr/keylayout/bravo-keypad.kl
(needs root and system mounted as R/W)
and delete the characters after key 115 and key 114 (or maybe even delete both lines)
create a backup first (or if u use Root Explorer's Text editor it will create automatically create one before saving)
Oh, okay, thank you, once again, you have save my life!!
Tried the mapper, but phone keep restarting

Sorry for the trouble again :x
It seems that when I lock my phone, the phone will automatically wakes up
I don't think it is the power button, as when I'm using my phone, my phone doesn't auto lock itself...
It just auto wakes
Is there any app, there can find which button is faulty?

What rom are you using?
In BCM (CM9 source) there are two options in settings/display at the bottom in wakeup options section: volume rocker wake and trackball wake. If you have those, uncheck them.
Dont think so, using a sense rom

This would probably work if he didn't power the phone on - which he did. After that, damage has been done. In my liquid cooling my pc experience, if the short circuit happened, the game is over in 99% of the cases.

Hello xda!
I'm in the process of sending my phone of to be reclyced. Gets me a bit of money and helps the environment or a third world person!
However, I think I have bricked my HTC Desire.
I wanted to put stock ROM on it, and I tried to flasjh a custom rom too it. Now its stuck at the purple circle at boot. (T-Mobile Desire)
Obviously could fix it going into bootloader, but the Vol Down button doesn't work so I don't know how to do it!
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Tim
Have you tried pushing, really really hard?
I thought mine was completely broken until I really had no other choice but to push it very hard.
Try that and when it does not work, battery out and in and try the same until it works.
Dont push so hard that something breaks inside
Just so u know my buttons dont work for bout 90 seconds so maybe just leave it for 2 mins.

I dont know what you mean you hold vol- down and switch it on, when the htc sign comes up it didnt work.
So you push that vol down very hard and keep pressing it and turn it on
When it works you are in the bootloader 3 seconds after you turned it on.
Black screen and then the bootloader.
When you see the HTC sign instead of the bootloader, take the battery out immeadiatly and retry.
Do that maybe 5 times and press a little harder each time.
You can also turn your phone off and hold the back arrow button and power on, from there you can go to recovery with the volume up button ?!

I've tried the Power On + Back Button, doesn't boot into anything, same purple-never ending screen.
I've tried pressing the Vol Down button really hard, nothing. Weird, as all other buttons are fine!

If he read my post right he would be in bootloader & recovery hours ago !
Starting to feel stupid now.
Pressing back + power, but still purple screen.
I'm guessing you mean hold down the back button first, then hold down the power button?
Yes !
Don't know what I'm doing wrong. I'm pressing down the back button, then I press down the power button. Then it boots to the purple circle.

Pull out the batt first, just to make sure the phone was completely shut down and do it again !

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?
Dear ALL Gurus,
I have encounter a problem with my DHD, i cant boot up my device. Whn i press the power button, the device will vibrate 3 times, and the light indicator was in orange color. :crying:
If i plug into power plug or USB (Connected to PC), it will automatically load into ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.7 (Ace Hack Kit). At recovery i cant do anything, only can press the +vol and -vol, when i press the power button to select any of the function such as reboot the system / backup and restore / factory reset / etc etc... I use a custom ROM (Slim Bean), sorry i cant give much information, because i cant remember my device information. I'm newbies... lucky able to root my DHD by following all the step posted here...
For your information, my volume button sometimes got problem, it auto press +vol, so i have press a -vol to neutralise the key problem, but sometimes it wont work. it is because my volume button? or because the software ?
I LOVE MY HTC DHD so much, this is my second htc DHD, my 1st got stolen, i still buy back the same model...:good:
Can someone guide me what to do??
Thanks for reading my post.

What happens if you reboot holding power and volume-down? What does it say? And if I'm understanding you correctly, CWM isn't responding when you select any options using the power button?

CWM was not responding when I select any of the option.

Hi. I have a HTC One X and while I was at work last week my phone was working fine. when i had a break I went to check my phone and it would not turn on. Everytime I press the power button the camera flashes. Iv tried charging it and plugging it into my pc. the charging light doesn't show up and it doesn't connect to pc either as if i never plugged it in. Try to flash it but bootloader wont appear on the screen. Please help.
Does it power off if you hold the power button for 10 seconds?

I had a similar problem a few weeks ago, although mine wasn't the camera flashing, it was the torch. I solved the problem by powering off and installing another rom. If the phone is powered on, hold the power button down until the hardware keys at the bottom start flashing and continue to hold until the flashing stops. Mine took about 30 seconds until the capacitive buttons started flashing then about another 4 or 5 seconds to stop flashing and power off. You should then be able to get into the bootloader

Hey ,i have the same problem as well. I thought i was the only one. i am thinking about taking it to the shop to see if they could fix it. I keep pressing the power button and eventually it would turn back on and work fine again. I've tried installing different Roms and even installed the stock rom but still the same problem. I would use it for a couple of days then randomly it would just go black and just camera flash every time i press the power button. Guessing its a hardware problem since i've tried different roms?
