My send and end buttons have some how gotten screwed up. When I hit the send button, it opens contacts, calendar and the phone app. When I hit end it opens the contacts app and this obviously is creating problems. can not remap the button correctly through the button mapping control panel item either. It seems my D-pad has gone to hell as well.
I have hard reset the device and this is still a problem. Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? Any help that you could provide would be much appreciated.
Thanks,

Help! I'm having the same problem, a hard reset doesn't fix it.
I'm sorry, unfortunately I never figured out how to deal with this and my D-pad died so I got a new PPC. Best of luck to you though.
Not a solution, but as an interim, you can use my prog VJKeyPress to emulate the send and end keys.
Sounds like a hardware problem. The old ipaqs used to use resistor arrays to detect which keys were being pressed. Sounds like a screw up in similar hardware perhaps? Warranty time me'thinks.

Hello,
I noticed that since I took the TP from the Box the volume buttons are not working as they should... it shows the volume screen and also move (like arrow key)
Someone experienced this?
I was searching google but could not find any solution or similar problem
i dont understand. sounds like it is working
I have applied a few tweaks from this forum and now when I press a volume button, either one, it brings up the volume screen as expected, but on a second press, of either button, the volume screen disappears and the volume does not change. Not sure if this is what you are seeing.

This is exactly what I mean... It just show the screan but does not work. And it is since I took it out of the box... It might be possible it is bacause the Czech localization program which is not on English TPs...
If you experience this problem, do you have some special localization for keyboard?
I am having the same problem as well with my Sprint Touch Pro. Clicking either volume button once brings up the volume screen and I have to use my finger to adjust volume on the screen. Holding either volume button does not raise or lower the volume. Doing so exits the volume control screen (and then quickly brings it up again). It almost seems like it's trying to scroll in whatever program is active.
Has anyone figured out what might be causing this?
problem resolved in my case

I had the same problem, but I found the solution ... at least is is working for me now ...
I start to think your way ... since I am also using localization ... InterWrite 9.5
I changed some things (at least those that I remembered that I changed before). Than InterWrite asked for soft reset ... I did it and now it works.
Try to change some settings ... I disallowed support hardware keyboard (I think this was the most important) and some other settings. If it's not working for you and you use the same localization soft, write here and we can go through every tab of InterWrite and do the same settings.
AlPachino, you are genius... it was enough to swith the "Hardware Keyborad" in the Interwrite and now it works... I think we should report this bug to SW developer of that soft...

done already
I'm also having this problem, but I don't know what InterWrite is (pretty sure i'm not using it).
Is there somewhere in the registry to reassign these buttons back to their intended purposes? I assume some people have remapped them to be UP/Down scrolling, so we probably know where the registry settings are.

Same here... I am having the same issue and not using InterWrite.

yeah, I took the easy way out by flashing a new ROM. I'd still love to hear the solution, but for now that has (obviously) fixed the issue for me.

I did a backup, then hard-reset, and that cured the problem.
I'm running the elite ROM right now, so it's not the ROM, it has to be one of the programs I added. So, I'm going to add them in 1 at a time and see who the guilty party is.
Edit: I put them all back in, and it now works fine. I tried replicating all the registry tweaks I had used and it still works... so I don't know what the answer is to why it was broken in the first place.
Same issue with me .
Used a hebrew localization, however, I hard resetted and re-installed and it seemed to be working fine. Now it is broken again just as you guys describe.
If anyone could find the reason or the hidden registry key, I'd be very grateful.
Happened to me too.
Did any of you have Diamond Tweaks installed? I noticed it on mine after this install. I know it has some tweaks in it for remapping scrolling. I've since hard reset, and installed everything except Diamond Tweaks. The button is still working as expected.
Fring is also a problem
I figured out that when I load Fring on mine the volume keys fail to work. I didn't have the problem on my Diamond so I'm guessing it's something to do with the (stock) ROM on the TP.
ROM: 1.90.405.1 WWE 08/01/08
Radio: 1.02.25.19
Protocol: 52.33.25.17U

None. In fact, it is one of the reasons I reset in the first place.
The latest thing I installed was "Startup service" but I don't see what does it have to do with it. I'll try to go to one of my recent backups and check.
Luckily I backup almost daily now (hard reset was a *****).
Just letting you guys know. So far found 2 programs that cause this behavior for me:
P.D.A.C Hebrew localization (talked to their support and they confirm the problem)
FDC Start Menu - http://www.dotfred.net/FdcStartMenu.htm
Real shame for both because I need hebrew and I liked FDC Start Menu a lot.
S2U2 1.35 will cause this problem, if you uninstall it you will be fine.. I think this should e fxed in the ne ver.
I've been searhing a week now, all the internet, all this forum, and i still can't believe nobody didn't need (or think) to wake the Diamond 2 with some other button then power button? I tried all that i found on this forum, like key remapper programs (they are really good programs and usi it), but they do not work when phone is in stand by. I'm using the phone also as navigator on motorcycle, so i have the phone in the transparent top pocket, and need to wake up the phone with front buttons. Is it inpossible? Before on omnia i had this possibility in control panel, but disapointed, that htc didn't make it? Hope someone has an idea how could be done this...or is it actually so simple, and i didn't figure it how? Please, someone help me, i like this phone a lot. I have the essential rom installed at the moment, if this help. Thanks.
have not tried it - but TD2 Tools has an 'Any Key WakeUp'-Option
changing HKCU\controlpanel\Keybd\DefaultKeyLock from 1 to 0
easy one!
Hi everyone. Sorry if i posted this in a wrong section, but General seems a right place for it...
I just put my hands onto a used Pharos Traveler 137 today, and it's driving me mad.
From what i remember, the power button should turn off backlight when pressed shortly.
On the Traveler, it invokes a soft-reset.
This happened on both native WM 6.1 and the official update to WM 6.5.
I have even uninstalled all applications in case anything was interfering. Didn't help. I just touch the power button and it reboots immediately.
Is there something i'm overlooking?
Can anyone help me solve the problem?
Maybe the button is mapped to something wrong? Is there, for that matter, an application or a registry tweak that will remap it?
Any help will be much appreciated; thank you all in advance.
Update: i have also found out that even when i lock the device software-wise (Start -> Lock in WM 6.5) and the nifty padlock thingy appears, the power button isn't disabled, it reboots my phone just as well. can i be 100% sure this is a hardware problem or is it still a software bug?

Hi, have a look on this threat and you will find more people on the same boat as you http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?p=13533804#post13533804
Hello!
I'm experiencing some problems with my o2 Touch Pro.
Hardware buttons on the bottom of the phone (d-pad, home, back, call, end call) are not working properly (they work fine only 20% of the time, it's random i guess).
When i press "call" button, device responds as if i pressed the "left" button. It's very annoying. The circle used to zoom in, and out around the "enter" button is problematic as well. It zooms - but but in a very chatoic way - a bit of of zoom in, then zoom out, another zoom in. Functions are just messed up.
Another time, it's all working...
How can i fix it? Is it a hardware problem?
I'm using the Energy Rom - titanium version.
Thanks for your help in advance...
Honestly, if you can't deal with it, get another device. Either that or stick with the stock ROM, less problematic (you can also keep the full function of the d-pad) but then again it may introduce other issues. Someone mentioned this being more a hardware than a software issue. Since I cannot reproduce this on my at&t Fuze, that is all I can suggest on my end.
I get some of that with my fuze; mostly, the d-pad doesn't read gestures properly. If I run compact heaps (from sk tools) periodically, it helps. Soft resetting obviously helps as well. I think it's more of a hardware issue. My problems have definitely gotten worse over time. You can also check out this tool (from an HTC test rom dump; can't remember where I got it). It's a debugger for the d-pad. At least you can see how accurately the button presses and gestures work.
Thanks.
