Touch Keys Automatically Disabled - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I am posting here after a very long time. I am hoping to get some quick help here. I am using a Walton Primo V2 with Android 5.0 Lollipop version (picture attached).
It happened yesterday. I was using my cellphone normally, then suddenly my touch keys at the bottom of my cellphone turned dark and never worked again. It includes my Home, Back and Menu touch key. I can use the phone normally but without using the touch keys. Also, my power and volume buttons are working perfectly. I believe that the programming code has been deleted or been disabled somehow (picture attached).
Things I tried: Reboot, Power off for certain amount of time, Reset / Wipe Data Partition, searching online for solution.
After searching for solution online, I found that virtual keys software are available in playstore. I installed one of those keys software and using the phone now. What I noticed now that my touch keys (Home, Back and Menu) are lighting up but not working. Yesterdays, it wasn't lighting up or working but today after installing the virtual back, home and menu key, I see that the touch key light is up again. But when I touch the keys, the don't seem to response or work.
Please help me out here. I believe the programming code can be enabled somehow or rewritten if deleted.
Waiting for your kind responses.
Thanks in advanced
Imran

No buttons on the phone dialler screen

Hi guys,
I upgraded my phone a while back using c_shekhar's excellent ROM. I've just come back to using the phone again and after charging the phone up from completely dead I now get no buttons on the phone dialler skin. If you use the stylus where the buttons should be you do hear the keypad tones, just there are no visible buttons. I've tried several things, such as changing themes and resetting the phone (although I cant remember how to hard reset the phone) but none of this has worked. Anyone had this, or have any ideas? I did search the forum and found loads of posts on buttons and screens but nothing to help me out.
Cheers
There is a soft button (bottom left) when you are on the dial page that says keypad. Is that still there? I assume you have already checked this and pressed it, but perhaps not. It may have been renamed due to the skin you are using, removed, or perhaps you changed it yourself at some stage accidentally.
Let us know if this helps.
There is no keypad soft button. However, if I just hit random places where the buttons should be, and then press the physical call button, the phone dials the number and then the keypad soft button appears (although just the text appears, not the button itself).
Is there a way to hard reset this phone with the WM2005 ROM? I have tried what used to work on the factory installed O2 ROM (holding the power button and using the stylus to press the reset button), but this doesn't seem to do the trick as all my details and info are still there when it fires up again.
I have also taken the battery out and left it for a couple of days to let the backup battery die too. This hasn't helped.
it appers that the dialer is corrupted..try to hard reset else try other Dialer skins..search the forum's for them

HD2 Hardware buttons not 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.
Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App

Power Button Unresponsive

Hello to all.
After changing between ROMs the power button on my phone has become unresponsive when trying to lock the screen or switch off the phone.
I installed Spare Parts Plus to set the button to sleep, but it didn't do anything.
The button works when trying to go into recovery, but once in recovery it remains unresponsive though search button works to select items even though the recovery is non touch based.
Can anyone recommend a solution or app I can install to lock the screen?
Thanks.

Soft keys - Slow response

Hello !
A couple of weeks ago i managed to put my galaxy s3 in the wash maschine
The good news is that the phone was fully functional after i took it out of the wash maschine (data was not washed away )
The second day the soft keys as also the led behind them stop working. I opened the phone and cleaned the contacts.
After booting the phone the soft keys started to work again (not the led, but i do not care about this).
The problem now, although the buttons seem to work, they do have a really slow response sometimes. For example i notice that i can press like 5 times a second the button (back button for example) and the button response once every second only. I have noticed that this situation is kind of random. For example if i change the led duration of the soft keys or lock and unlock the phone, the buttons do respond completely fine. After i lock and unlock the phone again, the buttons again start to respond once every 1 second. Let me note here something. There is no delay in the action, meaning that i press the button and something happens after 1 second , it means that i can press the button and nothing happens, it accepts the command after 1-2 second key pressing.
First i thought that this is more like a software issue. So i tried following which none of the above seem to fix the issue:
- Reset the phone
- Installed 4.4.4 android port
- Deleted /data
Any suggestions that i could further try (except of installing a new rom again). I am kind of confused as i do not know anymore if this is a hardware or software issue.

Hello and thank you for your reply.
I am aware of this option. Unfortunately i tried this once but i do not like how some apps change (including contacts) as also how the buttons take over so much space of my screen.

Galaxy SII - I9100 freezes after start up

I have never used any modifications of software. Only used stock firmware.
My coffee was spilled a little on device. Cleaned it immediately.
Then I got a freeze after boot up. I could see the home screen, but touch screen not responding, "Menu" and "Return" lights continuously lit and not responding. The removal of battery or long press of ON/OFF button was the only method to turn off. But the battery % shown on screen was correct each time. If I called the device, it was offline.
I connected the phone to my computer and it was recognized by windows. I did not transfer any files to phone by odin, but I have Odin application.
I used 3 button combinations to wipe cache, then boot up, but no change.
Then I used 3 button combinations again to return to factory settings and wiping everything. Now I get a solid screen where I need to select language but the menu and return lights a on continuously, and the touch screen does not respond.
So far, I can see that my three hardware buttons, on/off, volume, home buttons are working. Phone also was returned to factory defaults. But the problems continue to be the same. They are: no touch screen reaction, continuously lit menu and return buttons, home (OK) switch not working after boot up.
I have started to think that there might be a hardware problem. I have downloaded the service manual, can solder things, even have a microscope if needed.
Can somebody guide me to check where is the problem please?
