When I wake the polaris up, it seems that the left button (the one in the wheel) is permanently pressed until I press another button. I have to do this in order to unlock the device, as the button is pressed I only get the message "Press cancel and then unlock".
This happens every time I wake up the device and sometimes when I am using it in other situations. It is almost unusable in this state.
I suppose it is a hardware problem. Any ideas for a way to fix it? I wouldn't like to send it to service, but I am fearing this is the only chance I have now. Any help would be appreciated. I have already switched it off, and also removed the battery for a while, but I have the same problem when I turn it on again.
This has happened to me for the first time yesterday. The device has not fallen to the ground any time since I have it (since February). I only carry it in my pocket.
Thanks for your help.
ah, I forgot to tell you. When the button stops being pressed (because I have pulsed another one) it doesn't work anymore. If a press it, no effect, the cursor doesn't move to the left...
I have read in another forum that someone who had a similar problem with the wheel managed to solve it by doing a hard reset and by restoring a backup done before the problem. He stated that using the option "erasing memory" didn't work and that he had to do the hard reset by doing "gps button + ie button + soft reset".
Here is the funny thing. I cannot do that kind of hardreset. Why? Because as the left button seems always pressed the confirmation screen in which you must press the send button to perform the hard reset, never appears. I guess it is due to the cruise which detects that the combination of buttons is no good or because the confirmation screen is shown but as the left button is pressed, you do not have enough time to press the send button (I don't even see the screen).
Is there anyway to perform the hard reset in another way? Thanks for your help...
Well, my cruise works fine now. What have I done? Nothing. Maybe it was a hardware problem in the contact of the button (some dirt or whatever) and now it is working. I don't know, although it wouldn't surprise me if it were software (I had a similar problem with the vibrator in a Mio A701, two days broken, got to work after that and never again failed). I just used the bluetooth and received a couple of calls.
Now I can hardreset. As the button is no longer permanently pressed, the combination of buttons works. Although I haven't pressed "send" to actually do it, since it seems fine.
More here if it fails again, but as I told you I read similar problems in the wheel in another forum...

I am getting a red green and blue screen with the 8125 when It turns off and then on :? and I have to hard reset but when I hard reset I don't loose my data. but my camera button doesn't work and my camera randomly opens after my 8125 comes out of sleep. Any Ideas on How to fix it???
By any chance is 8125 another name for Prophet\jamin\qtek s200?
What you are describing sounds like the bootloader, which you enter by pressing power + camera + reset.
I think your camera button is stuck and sending key presses at random.
Also, I think your comm manager button (under the volume slider) isn't working so instead of hard reset you get a soft reset which is the only way to exit bootloader.
8125
I think it is a wizard. But you can confirm at Cingular.com
Comm button works for sure but camera button doesn't seem to work even though it presses in. Thought it was software not hardware making it not work.
If you're using the stock case that came with the phone, that might be causing issues as well. check out this thread: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php?t=909904
Checked out cingular site. Scratch what I said about comm button, the HR on your device is probably different then mine, but I still think you are entering bootloader when you turn on your device.
Since it doesn't happen each restart, I doubt it's software related, especially since you are having trouble with the camera button. The only connection between camera and bootloader I can think of is the hardware button combination used.
Hi,
I've got a problem with my Trinity, where if it rings and I pull it out of my pocket, sometimes one of the buttons gets pushed as it rubs past the material, so either the call can be hung up on or it gets answered before I can see who's calling.
I also get a similar problem if a calendar alarm goes off, or if there is a text message. Sometimes these can be dismissed before I get a chance to see what is causing the notification.
I guess this is a problem on many PPC phones which dont have a cover. Does anyone else experience this?
Does anyone know of any way to solve this? Perhaps having a secondary lock button which needs to be pressed before the hard buttons become active or something like that...?
I guess it would need some software installed, as I havent found any way to do this through the normal settings.
Thanks for any suggestions!
Cheers,
Ben
My Jasjam comes with a screen lock. Once this is activated you first need to press the unlock button which gets assigned to the left soft key followed by another button on the screen. Quite effective I would say.

Hi,
Is this the same as the "Device Lock"?
My phone has this too, but it doesn't work for when there is an incoming call...ie you dont have to unlock the phone first to press the green "handset" button.

Hi Ben,
I have been having the same issue as you with my Jasjam. I tried using a hard case which was just too bulky and annoying, so I've since used something like those iPod socks and just keep it in my pocket. I just take extra care when pulling it out so it doesn't knock the green answer key. I think this is just something we're just going to have to get used to unfortunately.
Anyone have problems with the 4 hard keys on the front of the phone and the scroll wheel? Talking about the att fuze here. Randomly when using the text program it will scroll in and out without stopping. Only way to make it stop is to press the power button to turn the screen off then again to turn the screen back on. Also, when i press the bottom left key to bring up the dialer sometimes it will not and just do nothing. Just as in a phone call i press the bottom right hard key to hang up the call and sometimes it will not respond what so ever.
I know the keys work because when i press them they light up showing i pressed them but they have no effect. This happens about 50% of the time and not at all rom related. I have tried over 8 different roms including those with tf3d2 and wm6.5 and all have the same problem. I have even tried flashing to the stock att rom and even on that rom i am still having this problem. I have never dropped my phone or any physical damage. Any ideas? I have already called warranty exchange and have another fuze on its way to me. I am convinced it has to be hardware related some how since no rom will work 100% for me with these keys. I have had my phone since january and out of the blue this all started about 3 weeks ago.

I dont have that problem, but sometimes my keys dont work and I have to turn off the screen and turn it back on
sometimes I even have to soft-reset my phone
this is partially because the Left and Right directional button is roughly between the Home/pick up and Back/hang up keys respectively. you have to press more towards the corner otherwise it will register as a left or right press.
another situation is when it is running a bunch of processes in the background it forgets what keys are what and you just have to turn it off and turn it back on (the display) and it should work again. that or open a random program and exit out back into tf3d
goodluck
Actually, I have exactly the problem that you're reporting where the zoom in happens circurlarly, without any ceasing. It's driving me batty.
I bought acer dx900 2 weeks back. Bcos of weak battery and slow response to touch screen, I changed to cooked rom from Bruno. It made the phone faster, and is working so for last 7-8 days.
2 days back I added pocketshield; it worked well and gave me no problem. (atleast till it stopped waking up - problem mentioned below).
Today the phone was working fine till I found that it was not waking up to power on switch. I tried soft reset and still it doesnot start the phone .... Just blank screen. I have tried everything I could, no luck ... The phone doesn't start .... Charged the phone again, tried hard reset etc etc ...
Please suggest what should I do to get the phone started!
Hard Reset
Method 1: if the touch screen is functional, tap "Start" - "Programs" - "Utilities" - "Default Settings".
Method 2: press and hold "POWER BUTTON" end "RESET" button for a while,
then release them simultaneously. Wait for a few seconds until the screen wakes up displaying
the model name, firmware version and firmware build date of your device, instantly press and
hold the left side button under the volume slide. Continue pressing such button and release it
when you see an inquiry box shown on the screen "Erase all your data and load default?" "Yes
[press camera button]". So, press the camera button for "Hard Reset", "No" for "Soft Reset".
Good look!
I've experienced this problem too. I'd done what is instructed here again and over again but the screen kept going its black status with some time and something bluring, vibrating on it (I could not read through its darkness)... In short, I cannot make it alive again. Hopless and it seems also helpless. Is there anyone help me? (an email of instruction to [email protected] would be greatly appreciated). Thanks.
hi. my soft keys on desire s starts to behave very strange. i thought that it was only problem in one rom, but now it appears in every rom which i flashed. so basically when i hold phone without touching anything except side and back body it is sometimes like i pushed home or search soft key. also back soft key button is big problem, when i push it it works as back,home and search button. any idea what might be problem? or should i just send phone to repair?
