I have a problem with One V. The 'Ring Key' which has to be slid upwards to unlock the phone is not functioning smoothly. It takes multiple efforts to unlock, which means when a phone call comes, by the time I fiddle and unlock the call is dead.
Another problem, the Red DECLINE and Green ACCEPT buttons to decline/accept phone calls are dead.
I was till now unlocking the phone by pulling the ring upward and activating/answering the call. Now it has become difficult to answer a call.
The phone is out of warranty. Is there any software solution I can look for? I tried WidgetLocker but it does not allow you to answer a call by unlocking.

Actually, I have MyOneV RC9.5 FX+ rom and that same problem happens to me quite often (several times per day). Phone starts ringing and when I try to slide unlock ring or either green or red phone symbol, touch doesn't seem to register anything. Only thing that works is switching the screen off with power button and switching it back on. And the phone works like nothing happened.

Yes, screen has one long crack that splits it in two pieces. However, until I installed that custom rom ~3 months ago i haven't had any problems with digitizer. My screen has been cracked for almost a year now and that would be the only problem with it.

When you get a call, instead of grabbing the ring and pulling it to the phone, try grabbing the phone (green or red) and pulling it to the ring... not sure if that'll work, but then you don't have to unlock Then answer, it just answers

Nope, whole screen is dead to the touch and so is the volume rocker. Only responsive key is the shut down key. I turn of the screen and turn it back on and everything works like nothing happened. One more thing, when i listen to music, and try to change song on the lock screen widget by pressing on screen buttons, they react like i have missed them and lock ring shakes. However if i press some 5 mm above them they react like they should, almost as if the screen isn't calibrated. that didn't happen on stock rom. And yeah during calls whole screen is dead to the touch, I tried pressing above those green and red phone symbol, but lock ring doesn't shake and that would mean it doesn't register a touch. Minor things really but they can be annoying

When you don't even bother to read at least the first page of the ROM thread, it is best for you to restore to a stock ROM or try other ROM... you'll save the headache.

No headaches man, I wouldn't be using it for 3 months if i wasn't satisfied with it and satisfied I am. I did read on the latest update (from march 2013) that RC9.5 FX+ has all the previous fixes included (for example my Bluetooth works fine) so i didn't bother reading on. Anyway, my fault.

Touchscreen has no obvious damage, but the stock Android buttons stopped working a while back (I have an app which replaces) and this might be connected with the above issue.

does anyone know of a way or an app to keep the screen off and stay off during a call unless i hit the button to turn the screen on? the proximity sensor sucks and at least once a week i end up muting someone with my cheek without knowing it and it ends up being the 2 of us screaming "CAN YOU HEAR ME?!??! HELLO!??!? HELLO!!??!?!" ... as a matter of fact my girlfriend has it way worse with her g2. her proximity sensor is horrible and she's always putting me on hold, mute or hanging up on them.
my ideal situation (and i will love you forever if you tell me a way or an app to do this) would be if the screen turns off and stays off when on a call, but when you hit the screen on button, it bypasses the lock screen (a totally unnecessary step when you're in a call and would have had to hit a physical button on the top of the phone itself to get the screen on) and turns the screen on, ready to do whatever it is you need to do in the middle of a call.
thanks everyone.
Yeah, hit the power button once and the screen will turn off during your call.

but won't my face going against and away from the sensor eventually make the screen turn back on at some point? i haven't specifically monitored my attempts to try that, but i'm sure i've done it before and it didn't last thru the call. or it did one time and not another or something.
Works for me.
Sent from my HTC Vision
just tried that today and as soon as you take the phone away from your face the screen comes back on (so if you moved it away for a second then back, you've got a phone with a turned on screen right up against your face)
I have the same problem. I do it all the time. Suddenly can't here someone only to realize they are on hold. I'd love some sort of solution or work around as well.

My phone fell from my hand. And now the power button is not working. How to I remap it to the Search button? And will it be able to switch off/on the phone if it shuts down?

You cannot. it is hardwired to a pin, thats why you can force a reboot even if the phone locks up. You might be able to remap some functions, but not poweron/off and screen on. because when the screen is off the digitizer is in sleep mode so the search button wouldnt respond unless it was activated. Sorry to hear about you dropping the phone. Any warranty left?
No warranty
just another thought, sorry to hear about your phone. However, are you sure its the power button? since you dropped it, it might be caused by other hardware failure... you may need to consider the possibility as well..

depending on country/distributor some comes with only 1 year. Then again, i don't think they will entertain a claim caused by user... usually only covers factory defaults.
I bought mine from the US though i Live in India. So no warranty
this means... you have to use a pin to short the switch and boot it up everytime lol. Then enable wake using vol button to wake the phone haha.
How is it not working? Is it pressed below the unibody?
if so, I had the same issue, what i did was; remove the cover (first the battery, volume buttons and gps) and then while having the backcover in my hand, I took a small stump or something alike and pressed on the button from both sides, like 5 times each side.
Then put the thing together and it worked perfectly.
I've actually done this 3 times because I drop my phone very often xD
But if it don't work you should definitely get "Tap Tap App" which makes you unlock your phone with the proximity sensor located to the right of your speaker (the little black dot).
Hope it helps! Both solutions worked for me!
*Edit, oh yeah you can get a mod to use volume buttons to wake it up aswell, as the person above me mentioned ^^
Good luck!

I have recently encountered a problem with my hox, where, if I press the power button, the screen doesn't awake. It's a little weird, because the back home app switcher buttons do light up if it is dark enough around me and, after pushing them a few times, the volume buttons respond as well.
I haven't fully tested it, but it seems like when I wait like a minute or so, maybe more, the screen does finally wake up. I have also held the power button several times to restart it while it was like this and then the screen doesn't light up until the sim unlock screen pops up.
I have yet to factory reset the phone etc., but I was wondering if anyone else had run into this problem. I have looked around the internet, but was unsure what to search for.

Sent from my HTC One X using Tapatalk 2
Nope, I do not have sweep to wake.
Well, after a while of being okay, the issue is showing up again. If I press the power button it does wake the phone somehow (back, home, tasks lights light up, volume can be altered), but the screen wont come on. And when it's one of those rare moments that it does turn on the UI flies everywhere, making it literary uncontrolable, until at some point the screen just turns itself off.
I am not running any custom things, everything is stock. I tried a factory reset without erasing the SD storage. I also have just sent an email to HTC, but it being weekend and all I still have to wait a day or two.
Any other things I could try?

Hi, I was wondering what did you do regarding the lockscreen problem. I'm having exactly the same problem here. I've already done a factory reset but it did not solve the issue. From time to time I'm not able to unlock the phone.
Please HELP!!!
It sometimes happens to me, recently after clearing the clock and weather apps and widgets. I don't know what it is.
Hi HTC fellows,
I have bought htc 10 three days back. Initially there was no issue with the phone. However, after an update of around 300mb came, the phone started behaving abnormal.
When i try to drag the app notification bar down, it doesnt respond , instead the home screen either moves left or right.
Sometimes the camera button stucks and doesnt capture photo.
Sometimes the keypad behaves abnormal.
In short, the touch is not responding right.
Please help me guyz.

htc touch screen definitely responds differently than my moto maxx did.
sometimes, close is "good enough", and the screen responds with very-close-but-no-contact touches.
also, the edges are very sensitive. sometimes i hold the phone in a manner that hinders desired response.
i have intermittent text input problems, but im not 100% sure its related to touch.
i've had to retrain myself on this device. i would love a way to trim the sensitivity.

The phone. Its 3 days old and not working properly.
Please don't move my thread to Q&A as I already made a thread there but no one replied.
So what happens is that a touch is randomly registered on the screen of my phone sometimes when I press the power button. This isn't an HTC lockscreen specific bug as I have established it happens with PowerAmp lockscreen as well. I have done a full factory reset and it is still happening.
I don't use lockscreen security so the obvious problem with this is that so many times upon pressing the power button a notification is clicked and immediately opened as a result. This problem can be avoided by using double tap to wake but it's far too easy to activate by mistake so I can't stand it.
Repeatedly pressing the power button will not reproduce this result, it seems to only happen when the power button had not been pressed for a few minutes. But this cannot be a bug related to sleep mode since this happens when playing music as well.
So what I would really like to know is if there is anyone else with this problem? My M9 had been so perfect all this time but this has just ruined the experience. I don't exactly remember when this problem started but I do know it wasn't there from day one.

Seems like a hardware problem. Something presses your digitizer (touch screen).
If u have any screen protector , remove it.
If not, take it to warranty.
Good luck!

HTC doesn't provide warranty in my country so I am outta luck. I don't have a screen protector so I guess I am screwed.
I guess I won't be buying HTC again. I already tolerated the crack on my bezel but it seems every HTC phone has some hardware issues. It's too bad though because I loved HTC software and performance, the M9 had been nothing short of a spectacular phone for me.
It happened to me too when I used a stupid Samsung charger. Try another charger, I don't know why but sometimes the current of power is somehow overflowing the chassis of the phone that the digitizer thinks the difference is actually a touch on the screen.
I want to update this thread. As it turns out it's 100% a software issue. How I figured this out is that when I turn on "double tap to wake" this problem completely disappears even if I still use the power button for unlocking. So basically the bug comes into play when you turn off double tap to wake as it is turned on by default.
So is anyone not using double tap to wake? Are you experiencing this problem? Unfortunately I find double tap to wake extremely annoying as it is so easy to wake up the screen.

That's quite a unique software issue then. At the risk of sounding like an obnoxious tech support guy, I would absolutely backup everything and then just factory reset (or wipe and reflash your custom ROM) when you get the chance and quickly check if the problem is still there.
I've been using double-tap and it has actually been the opposite for me - I find it annoying how hard it is to wake up the screen because you need to hold up the phone vertically before double-tapping, rather than just tapping while it's lying on the table or in your pocket.

Oh my bad re-read OP and saw you already mentioned it.
Hunh, I stand corrected I guess, since now I'm able to wake from having it flat on the desk. Could have sworn that didn't use to work. But still, I'm not by any means accidentally waking it (if I pick my phone up, it pretty much means I want to use it).
I can't replicate the digitizer anomaly, so not much else I can say other than good luck. Have you tried custom ROMs?

It might take a day or 2 of usage to replicate the problem, it doesn't happen most of the time.
I wake up my screen accidently sometimes when putting it into my pocket after locking it which is hugely annoying as the lockscreen is kinda easy to unlock once it's woken up.
I really can't be bothered with custom ROM as I am done with all of that. I'll just live with double tap to wake.

That's the design. When lying flat, you can wake the phone with a triple-tap.
