I've got the Sprint model, and it seems like the capacitive buttons on the front are broken. the "send" button registers as a "home" and the "end" as a "back" so the physical component works but not the capacitive.
When I try to run Android, none of them work except the center one.
I've opened up the phone but can't figure out what's wrong in there. Any ideas?
Thanks.
PS: Also, sometimes when I press the buttons, they mess up the screen - the backlight doesn't turn off when the phone sleeps, and sometimes there's even some ghosting.
Seems like a grounding issue, but I can't tell where.
I have a bizarre problem with my HD2, which seems to be hardware based ... kind of....
*Sorry if this ends up being really long*
Basically my Volume up and down buttons have stopped working along with the windows button and "back" button.
However, the "home", "call" and "end call" buttons still work, but not properly.
When the phone boots you can briefly see the windows (not HTCSense) volume indicator pop up just before Sense loads, which didnt used to happen.
Once the phone has loaded up only the call, home and end call buttons do anything, they light up the buttons when pressed, and the "home" button does indeed take you "home" and the "end call" button locks the phone and turns off the screen, however, pressing the "call" button doesnt bring up my call list, I have to use a soft key.
I also cannot bring up the hard reset menu, holding the volume keys and booting doesnt do anything, which is why i think its hardware based???
Another interesting problem is that the "up, down, left, right" soft buttons dont work on the keyboard (since this all started)
I had this issue about 6 months ago, I flashed my phone, to no avail .... but about 6 hours after flashing it, it just started working.
The only think I have tweeked on the phone really is installing CHT as I've been booting to Android for the last couple of months, which now I cant do as it hangs after about 5 seconds of booting.
ANY suggestions would be great.
Same problem here I got the phone from craigslist and same problem as above. Can anyone tell as if is hardware or software related problems and if anyone solve this before ?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Sorry I've only just replied, but I ended up having to send mine to HTC, they ended up replacing the main board (apparently). So definately hardware. Sorry bud.

Completely stock user since day one, this is a problem that has only come up recently. Unfortunately I can't illustrate a timeline between what updates/app installs it began happening, but the problem is no more than 2 months old.
Whenever I'm using the phone for Internet/Facebook/Reddit (95% of the time) there will occasionally be a freak occurrence where the phone will vibrate like crazy as if the capacitive buttons are being pressed rapidly and the apps will react as if the search/home/menu buttons are being pressed.
Anyone else have this problem? Suggestions? Thanks in advance for the help!
Flashed a few roms and still no success with the touch screen.
After a reboot the pad works well and so does the touch screen, then the touch screen stops comes back then stop responding.
Any ideas? Original Rom had the same issue hence why I flashed it. The volume and power buttons always work. When it stops responding the power button brings it back to life?
Any advice would be great.
Thanks in advance.
PS trolled thru the threads and google pre posting.
I got the tab s3 recently and I have some issues with the back button and the recent apps button. It seems to happen often. Neither button will light nor respond when pressed. Sometimes I just have to press the home key instead to get a response. Is this a known issue or do I need to get the tablet replaced? My tablet is the sm-t820 model and is currently urooted.
Hi
Just a thought, but have you got a case with auto wake fitted, a few of us are having problems with the magnets affecting the screen, worth checking
