I had to replace my microphone/charger port part because my microphone wasn't working. It was like about a couple months ago since I did the repair and now its my multitask button( the button to the left of the home button) keeps activating as if I was pressing the button but I'm not. Even if I'm not touching my screen and watching a video it keeps showing the background processes. Is it because my microphone/charger port part is defective or is it because I did something wrong? Any thing I can try? Or can I temporarily disable the button because I have accidentally pressed the button when playing games before when my phone was 100% fine and working.

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.

I was reading a book and the screen just stopped responding to finger touches, I think a reset might fix it but I can't switch it off. Long press on the off switch gives me the Android power options but of course I can't select any of them.
Any ideas? apart from waiting for the battery to go dead.
/edit solved it, long press of power and center button uintil you see the HP logo. I thought there might be some Android specific way.
For touchscreen not responding, I often just click power button to turn off the screen, then home to wake it up. That seems to fix it more often than not.
Next time you need to reboot, just hold down Home + Power for 10+ seconds
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.
Today and yesterday I had a weird issue with my v10, as I was playing a game the screen started moving around as if someone had been tapping randomly. I couldn't tap the screen or swipe up to press the home button. When I pressed the power button the fingerprint sensor unlocked the phone again but the phone was still spazzing out. Then I went to the lock screen and tried holding the power button to turn off the phone and the power menu appeared but I couldn't tap anything. After that I pulled the battery and it was fixed. Does anyone know what caused this or how to prevent this form happening again?
So my G8X was working normally until all of a shudden today I started facing this bug or whatever it is. So the problem is:
Earlier when I used to touch and hold on Home Screen, it would give me these options like Widgets, Wallpaper&Theme, Home Screen Settings. But all of a sudden today when I tapped and held on home screen my phone got locked. I pressed the power button but my phone wouldn't wake. I realised that whenever I tap and hold on home screen the phone would get lock and show a message "Fingerprint operation cancelled" on the black lock screen above the finger print animation and then to wake it up I have to press the power button two times (only in the case of touch and hold locking) . I thought that phone's "Knock On" Extension was messing with it so I turned it off but to no use. The problem still persisted. I tried clearing cache and then tried clearing cache of "Home" from Apps&Notifications settings but Nada.
At last I did a factory reset and did a fresh setup but to my surprise the problem still persisted. Why the heck is this happening and that too all of a sudden. The functioning of Tap and Hold on home screen for settings was fine all this time and then all of a sudden this started happening.
Can any anybody help? Shed some light?
So I Factory reset it for the second time and it didn't solve the problem. And I noticed that locking phone by pressing power key and pressing it again to wake it up works if I press it in like 5 seconds right after locking it. If I lock the phone and leave it like for more than 5 seconds or so then I'll have to press the power key two times to wake it up. WTH and why has it started happening out of the blues? ??

Dont worry ez solve mate
i uploaded a video mate watch it after reading it https://youtu.be/lnXSBsGdMJQ
There is a sensor in top (near the selfi camera) if it is blocked the phone will think that it is in pocket so it will disable the fingerprint sensor(if you newly installed screen protector may cause the sensor to block ) so it disable fingerprint and double press to screen on
