It says only ipl 2.25.0001 and spl 2.25.0001
I try a hard reset, but when it asks me to confirm by pressing SEND, I press SEND and nothing happens.. press any key and nothing happens, just sits there saying press SEND to confirm...
I tried flashing Cingular/AT&T's rom on to it, it was successful on the screen, but after rebooting, just went back into the 3 color screen...
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Additional info
I just wanted to add, I have searched threads here on xda-dev and other sites, and have found similar issues - normally the other issues have been resolved in one way or another involving a hard reset, which my phone will not complete. When it asks me to press send, the phone freezes at that point and does not accept any key entries (except reset). I would really appreciate any input. I also have a theory-that I may attempt this evening-If you hold the camera button down and reset, it brings up the boot loader screen (if my information is correct)... could my problem be caused by a faulty camera button? Maybe internally the button is remaining closed, which could prevent it from doing anything on a reset outside of the boot screen? Any engineers around that may know this? I am going to attempt (hopefully with low heat) to remove the button this evening... possibly even repair or replace it if the phone works with the button removed...(these thoughts are based on my phone being dropped in the sand at the beach...maybe a grain of sand worked it's way into the camera's button housing and is holding the contact closed)
problem's almost fixed
well thanks for no advice... i desoldered and removed the camera button (button 3). powered it on and the phone works. I reprogrammed the camera to button 5. (i also loaded a new WM6 rom and some other stuff) The last time I opened up the phone, I broke the itsy bitsy super micro tiny lock on the keyboard ribbon cable socket... so now my slide out keyboard doesn't work. I installed a full screen keyboard and set it to the messaging button (button 1) - the messaging button still brings up messaging with just a touch, but a long hold brings up a full screen touch keyboard that works fantastically!!! I am going to dismantle the very tiny micro switch and repair it, then resolder it back on the mainboard to make my camera work like it should again...and find a way to get the keyboard ribbon cable to lock into the socket...then my phone will be as good as new!
umm... thanks???
well congratulations on getting it working again.
tiny switch
I have taken the tiny little switch apart without breaking anything... one tiny grain of sand stuck under the button pressing on the switch plate... now i have to find a way to put the little switch back together... then attempt to solder it back onto the board without over heating nearby components. I have been playing around with Byka's cube... took a bit of tweaking to get it to work well.... not sure if I want to keep it or not... I have been trying to find htc cube, but no luck outside of a rom... which I may consider...but I just spent the past week reinstalling all of the software I use... Would like to just design my own windows for my phone if I had the time... Been working on an ion motor for an electric car...
I would like to thank everyone here at xda-dev. for all the information. Could not have learned so much, so quickly, if it weren't for this site.
oh... and I am using an 8125 (G4) with Faria Crossbow
Have the same problem...
Hi!
I have the same problem (but I don't have much tech know how).
It all started when phone got wet (inc. in battery compartment).
My phone would not soft reset beyond the Bootloader, unless I leave the battery out for a few hours. Then once it loads up, after a short amount of usage 2 things happen: 1) every time I would turn it on (or get a call) it starts in Camera (you didn't report it but you must have had the same experience). 2) the buttons don't work properly.
It finally dawned on me the camera button might be stuck, I set the button to "none", and no more more automatic camera. I still need to free the button altogether as still causing button freezeup and also allow soft resets.
I don't know much about soldering.
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi, I both an HTC 8525 from eBay and it worked fine for first few days but yesterday a had first problem. At first his touch screen stopped reacting on touch, i tried rebooting, restoring on factory settings but every time he works for few minutes from the moment i start him and then again the same. My screen doesn't react on touch or if it reacts he opens a program and close it right away by it self, now he started doing that and when i start a program with buttons (not on touch screen). Please tell me is there a way to fix that by my self or should i return it? Please answer quick, thank you...
Factory default? Did it means hard reset? Had You done it? There are 2 ways :
1. Launch clear storage,
2. Handser OFF, press and hold right and left softkey, then do softreset with stylus..
If it still exist, i'm affraid of it's hardware problem, i hope not
Phone works and everything but the touch screen is not responsive.
Does anyone know how to call up the "Start" menu just using the keyboard?
or
How to press "Send" using just the keyboard for SMS msg?
Thanks in advance!
I'm not sure that it is possible. this has happened twice to me* (see below) and those were the only 2 things that I could not do. you can go to the program tab to the far right and start any programs you may still be able to use...
*I've had this happen to 2 of my touch pros...What I was told by a rep was there is a small plastic tab on the back of your screen. If you look on your phone where the volume buttons are...opposite side. That small plastic tab should be removed because this rubs against some connector inside the phone that causes the touch screen to die. soooo long story short you'll need to take it in and get it replaced
Sort of the same issue:
I've got a stock ROM, PhoneAlarm (latest beta) and a few other applications installed on this device, only recently has it caused me as much of a hassle as it has. I get a phone call and no matter if I press the softkey "Answer" button or the answer button on the bottom left below the jogdial, NOTHING picks up a call. Sometimes if I stab at it wildly enough it answers and immediately places a call within a call which means I can't get back to the original one i answered. It's frustrating and really annoying.
@sanjsrik - I'm having the same issue.
Using a Sprint issued TouchPro. Along with the 'Answer' issues, I'm also having problems with the screen jogging around. When I go into applications or the phone keypad, the screen is skewed, however if I touch the screen (in the correct spot), the correct command happens. For example, if my keypad screen is skewed (which only happens sporadically), it shows the '7' where the '9' should be and if I touch the screen there, the '9' correctly apprears. I plan to take the phone to Sprint either tomorrow or next and hopefully will have a clearer verdict.

When I do a soft reset, my phone is fine and everything works okay. However, after the first time the screen cuts off to standby, when it resumes the buttons on the bottom panel (Home, Back, Call, End, Select) no longer function. I can confirm that they all function perfectly prior to standby, and after the fact, none of them.
I'm wondering if this is a known issue, and if there's anything I can do to patch it or look it up. I've tried a few different roms, and it's a constant issue. Even after a full wipe with Task29 and a reflash with two separate roms, the behavior sticks. As soon as the phone comes back from standby mode the buttons just fail.
If it's at all relevant this is a Sprint Touch Pro. If no one can help me and there's no alternative I ask for help finding a way to disable standby entirely. Sure keeping the LCD on constantly will drain the battery, but being able to use the answer and hang up buttons, and the camera FAR outweighs that.
Well, I haven't been able to find anyone with a solution, but I've worked around the issue a bit by installing Keepawake 1.1 and setting it to run when manilla is running. Now my phone never sleeps, and the face buttons work. I'm currently looking for a small piece of metal I can mount over the power button to prevent accidentally triggering standby mode. Then my phone will be mostly usable again. Hopefully someone can shed some insight as to the cause of it all, but for now at least I may have found a way to work around it. We'll see how it affects my battery life.
edit:
Most helpful recommendation (aside from a solution to the root of the problem): could anyone recommend a way to disable the power button, or possibly remap it to launch task manger or something useful?
edit2: Remapped the power button to lock the phone using RaphKeyboardConfig. Works okay for now. Between this and keepalive, my phone won't go into standby if left on it's own.
There's a problem with the keyboard of my girlfriend's SK17i and I don't know whether it is a software or hardware problem.
The problem in question is a over-sensitive key, in which for this case, it's the "f" key. Whenever she uses the pop out keyboard, the "f" key seems to be jammed and it would infest any of my messages with a bombardment of "f"'s, making it extremely irritating to use. It's gotten to the point where she don't actually have to press down on the key, all she has to do is slide her finger across it and it would register on multiple occasions. In addition, it would also register if she were to press the other keys around the "f" key, rendering the keyboard almost completely useless.
Furthermore, the extent of the problem actually affects the phone whilst the screen is off; at times, she would wake up in the morning and if she was on whatsapp, the messaging bar would be full of "f"'s and if she was on the homescreen instead, the phone would automatically open up the browser and the search bar would also be full of "f"'s. Moreover, it also affects the on screen keyboard, albeit not as much but at times, the phone would seem to be registering "f"'s as it thinks that the pop out keyboard is in use. Therefore, the on screen keyboard is also becoming highly irritating to use.
I don't know how to fix this and it seems the more likely to be a hardware problem but if anyone seems to have this problem and was able to fix it through a software solution, please let me know as she loves this phone and she don't want to get rid of it! Thanks in advance!
Does the button itself still behave correctly, like you can press it?
It seems more like hardware failure to me.
About those f's, doesn't lockscreen prevent that from happening, while screen is off?
She can still press down the key and it clicks which means that it works and isn't jammed.
As for the lockscreen situation, she didn't actually press down the lock button because she assumes that once the screen goes black, it automatically locks and it does on any android phone. Maybe the "f" key is stopping it from actually self locking.
Also, she says that whenever she presses down on any other key, it has a bit of resistance but on the "f" key, it feels flimsy. We both assume that it is a hardware problem but we just wanted a second opinion.
Thanks in advance!
If it feels "flimsy" then it doesn't behave correctly, IMHO.
Have you tried resetting the phone to factory defaults? If not, give that a try (backup first!), although I doubt it will make any difference.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Exactly. That part blocks it from locking.
It does seem a hardware problem, because there is no such thing as button sensitivity. What I mean, is that key is damaged and is touching the sensor(a small button on chip likely).
If you still have warranty, take it back to shop.
Thanks for the advice! She'll take it back to the seller with the warranty (bought it online with 12 month warranty)
Today I got my phone in. I was on the first set up page and it wouldn't respond to any of my touches. The buttons would glow like I was touching them but it wouldn't type or input. I soft reset it. It worked when I used assist touch. I hard reset it, wiped cache and factory reset. It fixed and I installed all my apps and when I plugged it into the charger it stopped working again. I can open the camera by double pressing the home button to unlock my phone but i can't open anything. It will glow like I'm pressing it but it won't open. I can pull down my notifications bar but none of my toggles or setting icon will work, again, they will glow just not open. I came back to my room and randomly it was working again, after 5 mins it stopped again.
Thank you for your attention.

I don't know if this is the cause/solution to your problem, but I know S Voice can cause lag issues. By default, double pressing the home button (when device is unlocked) opens the S Voice. Frankly, it's redundant and pointless, as it's a mediocre attempt at Google Now. Open it, then go into the settings, and disable it. It causes lag because it's waiting to see if you're going to press it again or not.
But if that doesn't fix it, and it's doing that stuff before you've even set it up, I'd tend to think you've got a faulty unit. The capacitive buttons are part of the screen/digitizer, so maybe you've got a bum one.
