Hello All,
short history:
I dropped my phone the glass shattered but the touchscreen and every button was still working.
Took it to a repair center, they fixed it up but now my back button isn't working. The menu button is working but the back button is just refusing duty.
Also the keys won't light up anymore, which makes me think that there may be some kind of software trick.
Taking it back is not useful feedback .

First of all it doesn't work. -phone buttons works, home works, other buttons just don't do anything.
Second of all thats not even close to a solution.

Search the forums; this question has been answered many times.
Hold the back button and press your home key.

Did you hold back then press the home key and not just pressing them at the same time?

In the new Froyo builds that started to pop up if you LP the back button it is supposed to launch a screenshot app.
I don't think it works on our Vibrants though.
I did it earlier by accident but I can't redo it.
Anyone else having this issue: my home key needs to be pressed a number of times or firmly before it reacts. I'm affraid the button is starting to go.

Mine started doing it a while back and it turned out to be my screen protector. I was using Stealth Guard protectors at the time.

Hmm, Im not using a screen protector.
Are those buttons along the bottom actually buttons, or are they just touch sensititve?
See if it tends to work better if you press it as soon as the button back lights go off.... I had to return my first vibrant because of this hardware issue.

Yes, it works better when the backlight goes off! Damn it, I don't want to have to return this phone. Its easy to get into download mode...
Could it have anything to do with the rom I'm running? (Obsidian v4) its supposed to support a kernel with backlight notification...

Press the home really hard just once and see if its better I did that now it's perfect

Anybody having trouble with the camera button not working? Camera works only if i click the app. No ota updates installed. Doesn't work to launch app or to take pic or vid.
can HTC install a trackball on this thing?
Mine seems to work just fine, I did install the OTA's though.
Well, maybe a hardware problem. The first phone they activated for me had a non functioning power button. They caught that before I left the store but never checked the camera button.
can HTC install a trackball on this thing?
The red ring around the camera is coming loose on mine I contacted HTC they said call back next week.

I know I have to press and hold to launch the camera app from my homescreen.
You have to press and hold the camera button for about ten seconds before it opens

Stock jellybean rom with siyah kernel.
So when the sreen goes dark, after not touching it for a short time I press the home button to wake it back up. as soon as I do that the screen flashes the page/app I was on and then returns to home. So I have to re enter the app/webpage and this is pissing the living s*** out of me! Any fix? Not happened on ANY other phone.

It is because you are pressing the home button, and the phone has not made it the lock screen yet. Thus when you 'wake' the phone it simply thinks you are pressing the home button, and returning you to the home screen.
Use the power button to turn the screen back on, it will only turn the screen on and not return you to the home page

On my old s1 I could press the home button no prob when the screen went dark. I could use the power button but would be uncomfortable for me. I have smart stay on and that has kinda fixed the probelm but only in day light or a light room. In a lowly lit area it sux

So with the phone in my pocket and pulling it out I often hit the home or volume keys with the screen off. Is it possible to lock these buttons and make only the power button light up the screen to unlock?
Thanks!
bump i would like this
Theres already a thread on this. The volume buttons dont do anything anyways when the screen is off.

Thanks. The volume buttons will adjust the volume on anything playing with the screen off. Really annoying when I use my phone in the gym and every time I touch the phone I adjust the volume.

Check out the app called persist from the Play Store. There's a free version that'll do everything you need
