flashed it wid Sumit's ProUsers WM 6.5 Edition v2.0 (build 21222) rom
but the problem still exists.....i think i'l have to take it to service center....i wonder how much they will charge for da repair....
its warranty period is over !
You are having some problems in its motherboard with softkey touch points. This may be a water damage as i had something like this (please note that i am not saying exactly like this) happend with my old nokia 6600 phone. I dont think they will charge much but it could be upto 2000. Just a wild guess.
managed to recover my keys atlast !
got all my keys working again.....by blowin hot air near the key contacts on the pcb thru SMD....i think it was all because of moisture ! all keys are functioning the way they shud !
P.s: i found a geniune service manual of gene on the net....mods is it ok to post it here ? might b useful for others !
Good to hear that your phone is working well now...

Sorry guys..I think this is my first post here..I tried to make I resarch on my prob but I haven't find nothing similar (correct me if I am wrong..)
By the way I was using Dutty crem de la crem for a month with no prob after that the following issue came up:
Once my phone is on if I keep it pressed the power off button the page with power,lock screen or terminate data options show up but at this point the touch screen is freeze doesn't work...only thing I can do is repressed the power button, switch off the screen and re and press for example the "answering" button and I can unlock the phone (in this case the touch screen is operable)
Same thing if is the phone is in locked and I press the power off button I can not operate the touch screen (and unlock the phone) and again...only thing I can do is repressed the power button, switch off the screen and re and press for example the "answering" button and I can unlock the phone (in this case the touch screen is operable).
I tried the following:
-change the rom to last energy and dutty v11,change couple of time the radio version, format the memory card,operate the phone without sim card and memory card but no change.
Last I installed the original rom from HTC...and still the problem persist...I start to think is something related to the hardware..could be???
Any idea?
Other question why after I installed the original rom I can still see the hspl 2.08 if I switch on the phone keeping the volume down?
Thx guy!

it has to be hardware if the problem occurs with different roms / radios. (a different though similar problem happened with me- eventually it all stopped working.) i would try to return it...
no matter what rom you have you can enter bootloader (like you said with volume down) and see what spl (or hspl) you have. if you flashed the original rom from your pc hspl will still be there; if you flashed from your sd card it is likely back to spl.
cheers.
yep it's a hardware problem. i know because this just happened to me last week, except that the start menu would pop up instead... i did multiple hard resets but nothing. t-mobile said it's a common issue with our phones though your the only other case of this happening that i know of... other than me lol. you'll have to get a new leo
so if I have properly understood your verdict is to flash original rom from the SD and return the phone to HTC get it fixed (it is obviously still under warranty!!),,,right?
How strange.
My HD2 has just started to do the exact same thing. When WinMo boots the screen works fine but when it has been in standby and i press a key to waken it up, the screen does not respond.
I have done a hard reset also and it is still not playing up.
Looks like i'll need to call the insurance company.

yes.
flashing from the sd should get rid of the hspl so all should be back to normal (i would double check though with a quick launch into bootloader...)
good luck!
damn I have the same issue right now. i thought it might have been a bad rom that i flash. i have to reset my phone every time i want to you use it. I cracked my screen so I don't know if that would void any mfg warranty on it.
Sent my handset to HTC on 8th Sept. Got it back on 28th Sept with new screen and new outer case which had a few chps and scratches.
All working fine again. Long time to wait tho. A day off 3 weeks
I am having this exact same problem. I had a feeling it was the hardware after it started doing it in Windows as well as Android. If we didn't purchase the insurance from T-mobile do we send the phone back to HTC via our T-Mobile store. I have had the phone for about 6 months now. Is it a costly fix?
Hello xda friends!
Yesterday i left my optimus battery go to a full discharge, later when it was on full charge i noticed that the search physical button backlight was gone...just the menu, home and back physical buttons are lit.
I`m on LOL v2, but i don't know if it's a rom related issue.
Also the touchscreen have one stuck pixel, and the anoying dust problem.
Someone has experienced to lose physical buttons backlights?
Time to ask for Warranty?
Uhhhh , I think you should first reinstall a stock firmware through KDZ ( that should also get rid of custom recovery me thinks ... not sure , you might want to considers asking other about this as well ) .
But either way , yeah I think you should go into warranty with your phone. But don't forget to send it in it's most stock form
Hi Guys...
I have samsung galaxy s2 .. i love it .. but since 1 week the phone is acting crazy .. and i did everything i know to solve that crazy thing
but it's not working at all
when i start the phone .. its fine .. but after a while like 1 minute .. driving mode enables its self Automatically .. and the voice talk comes on the screen ..!!
i tried to disable it .. but it comes on again and again .. and phone sometimes says that the USB is plugged on and charging .. when it's already not !! .. and sometimes it says that im plugging AC on the usb port .. when i plug it on my pc !!and the auto rotate for the screen is allways enabled .. even it was disabled on the settings!! .. and when i set the powr off .. it runs again by it self!
i tried to wipe data to factory,wipe cache, changed the Kernil , even change the whole rom to other roms .. but the problem is still comming ..!
Please help and i'll be thankfull
i love the phone and i dont wanna lose it
im waiting for help
It's possible that it's a software problem, but I strongly suspect this is a hardware issue. Sorry to say that RTM may be the only answer!

Like I said, you can't rule out a software issue, but it sounds more likely that there's a physical problem with the USB port and it's making the phone think it's in car mode every now and then. If it were a software issue then I think we'd see a LOT more people with the issue. When you think about how many SGS2 users there are on XDA, and compare that to the number of people who have had this issue you'll see that it's a tiny number really. That definitely sounds more like a manufacturing issue than a software one.

i agree with you actually .. it seems like a hardware problem .. not a software one cuz i literally changed everything on the device .. kernel,rom everything .. but hardware !
let's wish that it's a software problem even if we were 99% sure that it's a hardwore issue ...
thanks again ..

Absolutely! I wish you luck mate.
i restored the orginal rom,kernel
30 mins now no problems yet!
I have the same problem with my Galaxy S2. It started like a week ago or something. I tried to upgrade the firmware to the latest, but it seemed like that only made it worse. I haven't rooted my phone, so I'm obviously using the stock rom. Any tips to what I should try to do? It's a really annoying problem.

Car mode is triggered by a certain resistance value between pin 4 and 5 on micro usb plug, either dirt, oil, sweat on exterior part of it (most likely) or some condensation/oil on the inner part- where it's soldered to the the mainboard.
My advice would be to take out the battery and try to clean it with small brush, contact spray ( make sure it dries out before attaching the battery)....or go to a phone repair center to have the plug cleaned...
it should do the trick
I tried cleaning it with contact spray but it didn't work. Haven't tried using a small brush yet, cause I haven't got one. Any other suggestions or should I just explain the problem to Samsung and send it in?
Edit: Nevermind. I noticed that car mode wasn't popping up later in the evening. I restarted my phone and now it seems to be working perfectly. Thanks for the help!
I have the same problem everytime i use the car charger...but restarting the phone solves this problem atleast till I plug in the car charger.
Same for me. It really bugs me. I'm thinking of RMA.
the problem still on my phone .. i changed everything on my phone .. seems like it's a hardware problem with some devices .. like mine and yours
and i hardly think that we can solve it by our selves .. we need to send it back to samsung and see what they say!

In your 'Voice Talk' settings, under 'Wake Up Command', you may have 'Wake up command & 'Only on while charging' ticked.
I have the exact same problem, does anyone have a definite solution yet?
Me too have the same issue. it starts up while using the wall charger and even if unplug charger it pops up sometimes and my home screen lights up and remain ON causing battery drain. don't know any fix for this yet. can anyone please advise....
thanks
I've had this too when I spilled coke on my table, I think some droplets went on the usb port of my SGS2 that was also on the table.
Same issues happened: Car mode automatically starts, Phone hangs, etc. I've read car mode is triggered when certain resistance in the usb port is met(Just like the 301k for the download mode).
What I did was, I turned of the phone, removed the battery, then inserted a wet/moistened(NOT DRIPPING, water only) cotton on the phone's usb port. Compress the cotton with your finger first so that excess water will come out + the cotton wont have dangling strands. Remove/reinsert cotton until satisfied.
Be sure to let the port dry first before powering it up again.
Vocie talk problem, usb problem

Hi all, I have the same problem with voice talk - driving mode enables its self and sometimes it says I´m plugged with USB port and phone is charging.
I have had also problem with AUTO START. I´ve switched phone off, and it automatically start on!!
I´ve tried factory reset, disk formatting - 4-5 times, no applications yet and again the same problem with voice talk.
This problem started 2days ago, after one week use.
I have XWKE7 (2.3.3), no root, original from Orange SK and I don´t know what to do now, whether to go to Orange and reclaim.
thanks for suggestions.

I freeze Voice Command app with Titanium Backup.
Doesn't solve the problem... I'm waiting the usb jig to return to the store.
Hi all,
I have a problem with the hard keys of my x10. Today my volume just increased without pushing the + button. It stopped when i touched the - button. This happenend a few times.
After a while none of the hard keys work. Can it be that the + button is stuck and thats why the buttons won't work? Someone else had this problem?

Please tell us more info so we can help you better. For example, which SE firmware are you running or ROMS from the x10 development section are you running?
Or?
Have you modded anything with your phone lately?
Thnks for your answer.
My phone is running on original android 2.3. My problems started when i putted my phone in a car holder, wich squeses the phone between 2 soft "pillows" and pushes the camera button. I drove for 2 hours like that. Maybe that could cause these issue? I havent modded anything to my phone lately.
Edit: forgot to say, when i shut down power of my phone and start it again the keys work just fine for like 2 minutes. After that the keys stop working.

It sounds like the keys are damaged. You would have to go to a repair center to fix that. If you find a different way to fix it let us know.

I have the same Problem, all Hard keys doesn't work keys work only for 2 minutes after EACH restart... factory reset doesn't help. I had the same problem before, when the OS was 2.1 then I upgraded to 2.3.3 using X1 service update (http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/sup...ds/subject/updateservice/1.349192?cc=gb&lc=en) It worked like a champ for couple months Then now it has the same problem again... I got stuck upgrading... this phone sucks... it always get stuck at the point where it ask you to hold the back key then plug in usb cable ... it only work 1 times out of 20 tries...
My x10 works fine now, i havent done anything to the phone and now everything is working good. Kinda strange if you ask me.
To bad that you cant fix it. Im kinda scared that the problem will come back to my phone. But now it works good im fine with it.
Suddenly happen to my wife phone now. Anyone have any idea how to fix this problem?
Hi Guys ,
I searched every where but all i could find was that Motorola Atrix 4G has some technical error / hardware failure that many of the devices have face a problem with a non-working screen portion in the LCD , Has anyone over come this , atleast by replacing the touch screen.
Also , my volume down button is not working . I am not sure if its a hardware fauilure coz i can enable fast boot protocol while the phone boots.
I had theses issues before the phone was rooted or the bootloader was unlocked , which left me empty handed.
Only thing I had done was an OTA update 2.3.6 , but buy the time i got this phone the OTA update was done and these issues were there and i didnt identify them at that point
Please advise ...
Thanks !!!

I'm havving the same problem! Some parts of the touch screen stopped working after updating to the 2.3.6, but i did'nt do it OTA, I did via RDS lite
Digitizer borked.
Had exact same issues on two different atrixes....phone was still under warranty..returned to store a month before warranty got a new one..a month later, out of warranty the volume down stop working,...if u are out of warranty( most likely)...you have to replace digitizer....the volume button u have to do without it, I use notification toggles app to control volume from status bar...
You can find both digitizers and camera flex cables (that include vol buttons) on ebay for cheap
