So uh ... my HTC HD2's home button decides to stop working today.
I believe it's a hardware issue because instead of the usual "click" I feel when clicking the other buttons, the home button just sinks in - and the light on the home button always seems a lot dimmer than the other ones. I am wondering is there any way to hopefully solve this problem, or I guess I'll have to end up calling up HTC about this phone I got off craigslist. .___.
Thanks!
The other day I dropped my X10 in a puddle and pulled it out and immediately put it into a baggie with a huge dessicant pack.
I left it over night and it's working fine (even the white indicator is perfectly white) but there is one thing that "might" not be working....
The home button.
I remember that if you were already on "home" then holding the home button would show you running apps...I'm positive it did this before, now it won't.
The home button does everything else it should, just not this....do you think it's broken or is there a setting that's gone whacky?
Hi!
I bought a i9100 on eBay 1 month ago and I'm truly safistied with it.
But it looks like it might have developed a problem.
The back button (on the right side) isn't so sensitive as the Menu button (left side). Sometimes I've to put some more pressure to make it work (nothing really hard) and the area where the button works is smaller than the Menu button. The menu button works if I touch almost any area on the left side.
I've a screen protector installed.
Any tips?
Thanks!
i am also facing with same problem...i have not be able to find any solution for this
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.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.
Hi! I got the Mate 10 (non-pro) I'm testing and it seems like pressing the on screen home button takes several presses to go back to home screen. I tried this with setting up the front fingerprint reader as the home button instead of the on-screen buttons and same thing, so it's not screen sensitivity or the fingerprint button. Both behaves the same (bad) way. It's super annoying, as the taptic feedback buzzing under my finger and the phone still didn't exit the app I'm trying to get out, sometimes I have to press 3 times to exit apps or just get to the home screen.
Anyone else has this issue? It's the ALP-L29 version.
This only started to happen after a recent update. Dont' ask me which version of firmware, I'm not using that phone at the moment but the phone was much better a month ago.
