I dont know if its the viper rom or my phone, but either these things are sensitive as hell all of the sudden cuz of this rom or maybe its just a defective phone.
Recently my phone will be vibrating by itsself while its in my hand, and the menu button might popup or the search button. If i press the back button once, it performs like a double tap and goes all the way to the home screen lol
Has anyone else noticed this?

It looks like you may have a hardware issue (on the board). Did the phone get wet or damaged in any way?

I know that the hardware starts acting funny if it get wet since the contacts for the buttons can short out. I would get HTC to take another look at it. Also, make sure that you are not damaging the device accidentally by crushing it in your pocket or things of that nature.
I didn't find anything about that, but it seems that I have a problem with Menu and back button... mainly the back button.
Normaly, when a I press menu or back button, both illuminate. Since today, sometime, only the menu or back button illuminate. The one that does not illuminate is not working.
I tried to press everywhere on the phone, shake it, removing sim, rebooting, etc... didnt find what cause that. Could be hardware or software (I have stock rom).
Anyone have seen this?
Thanks !
well... playing a bit with it today. I hold it flat in my hand, turning left or right... light were blinking on menu or back button... sound like hardware problems
I'm not sure if this is normal or just something I've messed around with. My phone keeps shutting down in my pocket because the power button is fully functional even while the phone is locked, so long pressing it turns my phone off.
I've had the phone for months but the issue came up just recently. I have WidgetLocker enabled and
Im not sure if this hass something to do with me using the "Disable Stockholms Lock Screen" option. I've already tried disabling Easy Wake and disabling WidgetLocker but nothing seems to help.
Is this normal or have I done something stupid with my device? And if it's just me being an idiot can anyone tell me how to fix this?
Im using Cognition 1.31 and the newest WidgetLocker
Sounds normal.
If the power button is pressed for ~10seconds, or something like that, the phone powers off, no matter what the opinion of the running OS about the matter is (i.e. the OS can't prevent it).
It's a hardware trigger, kind of an "emergency off" for situations where a clean shutdown isn't possible for whatever reason.
So you better see that nothing pushes on that power button while the phone is in your pocket.
Alright thank you. It is necessary to have a way to shut the phone down with an actual button but it would be better if it was two or three buttons that have to be pressed at the same time. I just can't figure out why I haven't had my phone shutting down before. Maybe the power button has loosened so it needs less force to be pushed
Hello,
in one of two cases the phone reactivates when I try to deactivate it. If you touch the display or one of the buttons while (or directly after) pressing the power-button the phone activates itself... that drives me crazy, because it is nearly impossible to deactivate it with one hand without touching the display at this moment.
Does anyone know hoe to get rid of that?
thanks for your help
I've experience that I think - I hit the power button to shut off the screen and lock it, and it immediately switches back on to the lock screen. It's not the end of the world as it is locked and will switch the screen back off in a few seconds, but it is strange.
Think I've figured out what's causing this - due to the size of the handset, when I go to switch it off with one hand, I find that my palm can just catch one of the soft buttons at the bottom of the handset such as the back button, so I think the back button is pressed immediately after the power button, causing the screen to come back to life.
So it's not a bug as such, maybe a design flaw.
My HTC Hero was working fine without incident for quite some time. I did not introduce any software changes to it. But suddenly, for no apparently good reason, I'm seeing two things happening now:
Menu button pressed acts like Home button, no matter what screen you are on (this is terrible, as in some screens the menu button is required to access certain options)
Search button acts like the green call button, bringing up the recent call list and the dial menu.
Volume button decrease goes nowhere. Actually, one click bumps the volume up then down one notch. The increase button is fine. One must click and hold the decrease button to get the volume to go down.
I'm not all that bothered by the volume button, but the menu button is critical.
I searched the Internet extensively and found one other person mention this simultaneous fault of the volume button and menu button. But unfortunately, they weren't able to get a resolution, or they simply never came back to the thread to update.
I did a full shutdown and restart, but no change. The only environmental change has been an increase in humidity. I am by the shore for the weekend. I took my phone kayaking, but it was sealed in a plastic bag and never got wet. But perhaps moisture in the air has something to do with it? It does seem more like a hardware issue than software problem.
Has anyone run into this problem and been able to rectify it?
I discovered another peculiar behavior.
When the phone was idle for some time, I awoke it with the END button, then a screen swipe to get to the main screen. Pressing "Menu" brought up the proper sub menu toolbar. However, going back and pressing it again showed the wrong behavior again (acting like the HOME button).
Then for a stretch of time, if you tapped the menu button lightly and quickly, the sub menu toolbar would appear. A standard button push will cause it to act like the HOME button. But unfortunately, this did not last. I set the phone down, came back later, and this "light tap" would only act like the HOME button.
I did NOT see any erratic behavior prior to this, like the MENU button mostly working fine and only occasionally acting like the HOME button. It was a rather sudden change. Given the behavior, I'm starting to wonder if something has built up inside under the button bezel that is doing this. Perhaps taking it apart and giving it a good cleaning would resolve it?
I've been finding that every once in a while the MENU button function momentarily goes back to normal operation. It's usually after having left the phone untouched for a few hours. But it works just once or twice, then starts behaving like the HOME button. From this behavior, I can't figure out if this is hardware or software related.
Anyway... I don't see anybody having offered a solution for this, either here or on other forums. I guess I'll just have to retire this phone.
I'm really baffled by this very strange behavior.
My Hero is still experiencing this problem most of the time, but sometimes the menu button will work properly. When it does, I can click the button again in the exact same way, and it will stop working right. Other times, I can dismiss the pop-up menu, then click the menu again and it works maybe 2-3 times. Then after that, it's back to the "HOME" button behavior. Once it does it again, I cannot coax it to work properly again, no matter how many different variations I try. I have to wait for a long while before trying again and finding that it works properly again. If it was a hardware problem, the behavior should be pretty random. Given how it behaves, I have to believe this is software. Now... how the software (firmware) could become corrupt like this is beyond me. I'm thinking that maybe restoring the phone back to the original ROM and then rooting it all over again could get things back to normal... anyone reading this agree or disagree?

If needed, KeynrTracker.apk will allow you to identify the code for individual buttons.

Thanks for the suggestion. But somehow, miraculously, the problem resolved on its own. I guess it must be a hardware issue, as I didn't make any software changes. I can press the menu button repeatedly and it works normally now. Really weird. I guess that perhaps there was some debris or residue buildup inside that eventually worked itself out.
