Function buttons stopped working on my HTC - General Topics

So just today I go to make a phone call (HTC P4000 - Canadian CDMA Titan) by hitting the button and nothing happened. I reboot, again nothing happened. I did not make any software changes or drop the phone at all yesterday. It just randomly stopped working. After further testing, the jog wheel works (along with the click on the jog wheel), the directional pad in the middle of buttons below screen (along with the click) works, and the power button on the side (to turn screen off, or hold to be prompted for reboot) works. Everything else does not: the IE and messaging button at the top above the screen, the 2 function keys below the screen, as well as the windows and OK button below that. ALSO along the sides of the phone all buttons do not work (comm manager, camera, voice record, ok.... power does work though keep in mind).
Does this sound like a physical issue or possible software or OS corruption of some sort? What is bizarre to me is that the OK button along the side works, yet the button right below it (comm manager) does not work. It would make sense that this button (the power) would be wired differently as it's more essential i suppose. What are your thoughts? Anything I should try or does this sound 100% like hardware... if it is that's ok cuz I have a warranty through my carrier for the entire length of my contract. Thanks for any tips or advice in advance!

have you tried a hard reset yet worked for me one time with those issues

Any extra hardware buttons

I am currently using a Hermes and have a hardware button setup with one press to start a voice recorder. This enables me to start recording with the device still in my pocket. Does the raphael have any extra hardware buttons or a way to start a program with one press and without having to use the screen??
It looks like a perfect device, but without hardware buttons might not be.

Samsung Omnia - Lock ALL keys - including the volume buttons?

Hi all
I've had my Omnia for a few weeks now and love just about everything about it now that I've tweaked it to suit me. I've set up the M2D system and think it handles great.
There's just one thing that I'd like to change and I wondered if anyone may have found a solution for me. When you lock the keys/screen by pressing and holding the 'end' button, the volume buttons can still be used - I thought I'd switched my phone to vibrate mode and gone into a meeting but must have caught the volume button a few times because halfway through the meeting my phone started screaming out Paradise City by Guns N Roses at almost full volume when a call came in, which was very embarrasing!
Anyhow - if anyone knows of a way to also lock the volume buttons along with the rest of the hardware buttons and the screen upon pressing and holding the 'end' button, I'd really appreciate the details.
Thanks in advance.
just hold the NO button to lock all the buttons instead of using power button to lock the phone.
i found the way to stop that i had the same problem and all you need to do is go to "settings" then "buttons" then scroll right until you see "wake up" then check the last box!!!!!!

Stuck Power Button

I have an HTC FUZE and I dropped it in a puddle of water and now the power button is constantly activated even though I am not touching the button. The button still clicks fine but again, the power button is always active. I cannot manually put my phone to sleep, nor can I turn it off using the power button.
My question is, could I remap the power button (long and short) to another button say the PPT button?
thanks
help anyone?
I had a similar problem with my first Fuze and had to get a refurbished replacement from AT&T. In my case the sticking power button caused constant rebooting of the phone. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but I was unable to do anything to unstick the button.
if the power button is just nt working, you can still put your phone to sleep with third paty softwares like psShutXp. But I don't think it is possible to remap it to a different hardware key afaik.
Regards,
Carty..

When I press the menu button sometimes, keyboard comes up?

Sometimes, when I go to press the menu key on the phone my keyboard will pop up. When it does, the menu button's light turns off while the back key, search key and home key stay lit. It takes about 7seconds and then the menu button lights back up and I am able to hit the back key to take the keyboard off of the screen. This has happened on my home screen and in several other programs and even in settings menus. Any ideas on this? I'm not tech illiterate, but I can't find anything else on it. I am NOT holding the button down like a long press. I am aware of the fact that this is a normal function otherwise. But, this is acting strangely and very aggravating.
Edit: did a factory reset and deleted any apps having access to keyboard and the hold down menu for keyboard function is no longer there so that may have been a third party app. Hasn't done anything in a few minutes like it had been so maybe I lucked out. I also turned off haptic feedback on softkey presses to see if tmay help
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App
Okay, I am on the second factory reset and no apps just a fresh nexus s 4g and still persists to do it. It brings up the keyboard every once in awhile hitting the menu button and disables the other soft keys still. Won't let me do anything for about 7ish seconds
I'm having the same problem. Did you ever find a solution?
Your keys are damaged it sounds like. I dropped my nexus s in the pool but caught it just as the bottom hit the water and afterwards the buttons wouldn't work or would all long press. Return it to the company or call your insurance.

Home Button NOT WORKING

The home button (off-screen navigation button) does not seem to be working for me. It does not respond when I click it. I can confirm that my navigation settings are set to it. I am also not seeing any option in the settings for the fingerprint ID. Gonna assume this is a software issue.
Try to factory reset, but it seems a Hardware issue
My problem is that my home button works too well.
Any way I can stop it from waking up the phone when it is touched? I can't help to touch it when removing it from my pocket, but I don't always want it to wake up. I may just want to move it from pocket to desk. It is much more sensitive than the (proper) power button. There is a reason why power buttons are made the way they are.
