Bottom buttons stops working.

Hi.
I have strange problem. It starts few weeks ago with no purpose..
Sometimes my bottom buttons doesn't work. It happneds for example, when I'm tying to scroll email with Dpad. Sometimes when i try to scroll thru files in total commander. After scrolling few lines, they just stop working. Upper buttons works. Screen works.
What I did untill now with no results:
- flashed official rom thru PC
- flashed AT&T Official
- disassembling and cleaning lower buttons.
It looks like software problem, but it happends on clean official roms without any 3-rd apps..
Some suggestions?
Thx

do a search for white screen in titles...ur problem may be the dpad connector comes loose and the white screen thread talks about how to fix it

try a new rom my wifes phone did the same thing with at&t official wm6 rom I have since flashed almost every rom from here and never had a problem hope this helps

Thank You. I've tried few roms.. Now running CRC 11
I think it's a hardware problem. I've found some thread about similiar problem. Now I'm testing
Thx Dillsnik

I had this problem with a Hermes and I couldn't fix it no matter what I did. And I tried everything.
It seems it's some weird hardware problem. Soon you'll have problems with the softkeys too.
If anyone fixed this (except flashing a new rom, because that doesn't work), it would be an interesting thing to know.

Well, when it happends, all lower buttons stops working. gren, red phone, softkeys etc.
I just plug and unplug connector few times and for now it;s ok.
I will report if there will be some changes.
Maybe it's time for some changes I think Kaiser's will be cheaper in a moment

mine has been doing that for months (lucky my hermes is my backup device). its really strange but then again expected after ive dropped it so many times as well as throw it at my colleagues when they piss me off.
1) dpad stops responding after some time.
2) call/end buttons stop responding
3) softkeys dont work after this
4) 90% white screen - i can still see whats on the screen but it looks like its washed out and saturated to a sever point
the only thing you can do is if your device is still under warranty get it fixed.

Warrianty it's a faaaar away past

I can't say with any certainty this will help anybody - but I experience this same issue, regardless of the rom... What I always do - hit the Email button... I know it sounds odd, but it always seems to work... It launches email, which (if i don't need it) I just close right away and then the other buttons seem to magically work... I know it sounds lame - but honest - it works on my phone...

If that doesn't work, you may have to try the following link regarding d-pad and white screen

I had same problems, d-pad buttons stopped working then I got the white screen of death. I replaced the ribbon cable but it didn't help. I replaced the d-pad pcb board and everything is back.

Where did You get this board? Ebay?

Sorry for diggin this topic, but cellurar.dr is not responding my emails and I can't find/buy this board..

I don't know if anyone has seen this or possibly knows what it may be, it shows up in spare parts, network usage. I cannot click on it to see what it could be, get the force stop msg. Any help would be greatly appreciated, my battery life is absolutely horrible. Running fresh rom, slayers cyan dragon theme, tried several different kernels and nothing seems to help, also tried downgrading pri.
Thank You

I recently saw a post asking about the "0" and the horrific battery life. While no one ever figured out what it was, the op solved the issue by backing up his apps & data with titanium, flashing Calkulin's format all zip, then reflashing his rom & kernel. I think he slowly restored apps so he could watch for the issue coming back.
Try a search & you might come up with the thread. I would definitely try the format all zip, though.

Thank you, i've used it but instead of restoring my apps one by one and cking for battery drain, i've just been restoring them all. I'm definitely going to give that a shot, again, thank you.

Try reading the logcat file. Get alogcat from market. You'll see either a block or multiple calls to some apk.
You call also get autostarts from market and disallow activation of intentions / events which cause "hangs" (spinning waiting) from the apk you found in logcat.

Thank you, I'll try that also.

Widgets, Live wallpaper Messaging clients Or any other client that receive notifications from the internet Will have your battery murdered like a runaway slave.
Typically a battery is only good for 200 to 250 charges. If it was charge properly every time. Let's face it nobody even knows how to charge the battery properly.
*edit please add around 900 more to the above figures for li-ion batts. Figures I quoted were for standard rechargeables.
Also check that you're not constantly running wifi and bluetooth. 4 g and 3g modes eat more battery than 2 g mode. Do what I do disable all wireless connections not in use.
If you ever noticed the display eats most of your battery power. turn down the brightness whenever you can see the screen clearly.
Applications that stream data over the internet will eat your battery quickly.
That's about all I can think of. Well 1 more thing. Buy a new battery and see if that doesn't help. (try èbáÿ)

Definitely thinking about buying a new battery, mine completely died about 3 weeks ago and I had a hell of a time to get it to pick up a charge again. That's probably my main problem I'm guessing. I just can't figure out the 0 in spare parts, network usage. I tried flashing a fresh version of fresh rom and individually reinstalling every app I had before, seemed to work for awhile, it didn't show back up. Waited awhile and reflashed Slayer's cyan theme and now it's back. Battery life was still **** before it showed up again though. Good advice and thank you, I believe I'll try a new battery.

You'll have to forgive me (i feel like an ass) I was in a hurry the other day. A UID under linux is a user I d. For general phone usage you should have 0 of these! Are you
using google admin?
If you have root try this in your terminal:

This file should not exist!

I will post logcat, I'll have to nand back, i've been trying a different rom(Destroyer rom) out since last night to see if it still appeared. I'm at a loss as to what it may be, the 0 hasn't appeared yet on this rom, it's an asop rom, not sure if it has anything to do with sense or not. I'll nand back to my original setup and post logcat or pm it to you would probably be better. Thank you

Random restart

I keep getting a random restart on my one X.
Every other day more of less
Does anyone else get this?
Would JB resolve this?
Or should I bite the bullet and get a nexus 4?

Try a factory reset.
Or try changing to some other rom.

Make sure its not from holding the power button, like in your pocket when you sit down or something like a case pressing the button.
This used to happen to me anyway, it's a feature!

Yeah, it happened to me few times. Power button sucks.

My oneX until today 2 error msg and my phone restart.. when this happen,my bottom button (back,home,recent apps) blinking and my phone restart..anyone can help. Me?

If you're on stock Rom and factory reset doesnt helps, it is a hardware issue. Send it to service center

Same, the home+back+recent app buttons start blinking but it most of the time doesn't go off, just in a deep sleep mode.
You should not keep the home button pressed, but press it a few times [3,4 times]
I believe this will be fixed in 1.3.3 , but I am not sure.

I have talked to HTC about my HOX restarting and they suggested that before a factory reset I should try using the phone in safe mode. It's been turned on in safe mode for quite some time now... and guess what?! No other resets so far...
In conclusion: it's a stinking play store app / app update / app bg service.
Will use it like so for a couple a days and get back with feedback, or until JB rolls out globally in a few days.

Well there you go. Thanks experts. Much appreciated.

Hello again,
1st of all... to get into safe mode just hold the power button pressed until your phone restarts... after it powers on wait it passes the first image on the boot screen, once it reaches the animated HTC logo (the one with the sound) press and hold the volume down until the phone completely starts. In the bottom left corner you will see SAFE MODE.
In my case it was the Viber app that screwed my phone. After complete uninstall my HOX runs just fine... and a bit faster...
Even got better scores in benchmarks...

have you checked for 3rd part apps running? check activity on your hox, to me happened with a funny "free" game, it hold in memory and waste all resource till reboot due insufficient resources (with an error before)

i have to send my phone to repair, it keeps shutting down and when i turn it on sometimes i see a '!' on the battery indicator, and the battery stats graph looks like this http://dl.dropbox.com/u/18387650/2012-10-03_21-46-06.png
it stopped doing this after a while, but today, after 1 or 2 months it started doing like that again. it started after i removed the tpu case to clean it, probably there something improperly connected, and when i apply i little pressure to clean it , it give some problem. it shutted down 4 or 5 times and now looks ok again... i just hope it won't take too long for repair.

My phones acting all glitchy..:(

First I noticed that my email icon says I have 205 emails, no matter what. I also noticed that my voicemail icon doesnt like to clear. All my ringtones were set back to default even my email and text. Even after resetting my email ringtone it still wont sound. My multi-window kept opening every time I hit the back button even though I had made it stay closed by pressing and holding the back button. I had to restart my phone for that to work correctly. While this was going on, my phones battery was really bad for 2 days. I didnt even use it, it was connected to wifi and the battery drained by 8 pm, with no use. Its 10:45 here right now and I have 80%, which is good. I noticed the screen flickers with white sometimes too when I hit the home key. I am getting really tired of my phone not working. There was another thing that wasnt working correctly but I forgot what it was, a restart fixed it though. Anyone else having problems? what should I do? I know it isnt much but I like my stuff to work correctly. I Am stock rooted. I am not on lk8.

No one has a response?

Sounds like something is borked from a bad download or flash. I would reset to rule out the normal issues. With all the sms and app backup programs out there you don't stand to lose much, if anything, by reflashing the rom.
Why the hesitation?
Rooting can be great but typically is to install a program (feature) or rom that didn't come stock. If you're doing this and can't afford to reset if a conflict comes up then it generally its a good idea to stay 100% stock and let sprint fix your issues [which they typically do with a reset]
If you decide to reset try sms backup, and an app backup program like titanium or app backup and restore.
Good luck!

Here's the solution for in call notifications (annoying screenshots too!)
Go to dialer -hit menu - call settings - call alerts - uncheck "alerts on call"
I just saved your hearing! Hope it helps.

"Safe Mode"

Okay, so I have a strange dilemma. I am currently using GB08 Stock Rooted of the ROM. Last week I was using my phone when suddenly my phone rebooted by itself, at first I thought it was an app crashing or something normal which happens to all of us so I restarted it. Strangely, on the bottom left hand corner displayed a text box saying "SAFE MODE", to my knowledge I had this on my original Epic 4G and the solution for me was to restart the device, but it didn't go away. In addition all my apps were gone and the volume down button seemed to malfunction when turning the music down. As a solution I tried to ODIN GB08 (strangely the volume down button works when trying to get to Download Mode), but the volume up button doesn't work even though it does work when I boot it into "Safe Mode". I tried to use Mobile Odin but it the device won't allow me to use apps other than those that were pre-installed into the device. I tried taking out the battery and waiting up to 10 minutes and restarted it but no luck, so I want to know if any of you guys know how to fix this?
:crying:

I had this issue happen about a month ago. The volume down key is sticking.
You need to take the phone apart and clean it up. Repeatedly press the volume rockers until you feel that it is back to normal. Then put the phone back together and put the battery back in.

Here's a screenshot showing what happens when the volume down key is held while booting up.

I have done what you have said but the volume rockers seem fine and it still boots ups into safe mode.

Do you use a case that is a tight fit around the hardware keys?

Seems fine and is working properly are two completely different things. Sounds like a bad rocker fosho. Mattix nailed it I'll bet money.

I'm telling you that's what's happening.
If you hold power from a cold boot it enters download mode? And if you try to boot into recovery it just boots normally in safe mode?

Well the volume rockers seem to fix itself, but went back to safe mode, I guess it is broken. I guess I'll have to get a new phone, I'll wait for the GS4 to come out since my contract is over in mid April. But thank you for helping me!

A work-around for phones stuck in safe mode due to water damage etc but that seem to work fine otherwise is to convert the (trusted) apps you need from data apps to system apps (move the .apk from /data/app to /system/app after installing via the Play Store). You may need to use Mounts2Sd or something similar with an sd-ext partition if you don't have enough space in your internal /system partition for all the apps you need. (With Mounts2Sd, placing the apps in /data/app-system on the sd-ext partition will fool the phone into thinking the apps are in /system/app and you can then use them in safe mode). If anybody is aware of a simpler script that does the same thing, please lmk.
