I think I have suffered from this since installing WM6 (most varients so far....) but it isn't a major problem, however I am sure the behaviour was different in WM5
If my Wizard is 'sleeping' and I receive a call I can use the Talk or Hangup buttons to answer or hangup the call no problems. When in the call if I try and lower the volume using the volume slider on the side it doesn't work. This is because it is locked, if I unlock it the button works. I am sure with WM5 the volume slider worked in a call even when the Wizard was locked?
I am currently running the last Faria WM6 ROM, however I have slightly re-heated it to my taste.

I'm pretty sure this is because smartskey is installed and configured to override the slider key when using the phone. Change the config and it should work the way you want.

I don't have smartskey installed, this is one of the things I removed....
it might suck.... but a hard reset might be all it takes to fix the problem
Hang on, I'm running WM5 and smartskey. Even with Smartskey the vol slider works in phone mode (device unlocked). I just called myself with the device locked, the slider and all buttons are ineffective except for the pickup and hang-up keys. So, there it is!!
Also, with the device locked, you can only hang up after a call, you can not hit the red key again to bring you back to the Today screen, you have to unlock for that.

Well this is maybe the 15th or so time I have re-flashed WM6 on this Wizard and it's been the same on all of them, I think a hard-reset won't fix anything

All of them.... Well, ROM's based on each of the 3(4?) base ROMs that have appeared. I am now wondering whether this might be a Battery Status thing since I have kept the same Battery Status settings throughout...

I've tried other WM5 ROMs, such as Molski's AKU 3.2, and if I remember, it did the same thing. Perhaps someone with another WM6 rom loaded can experiment and let us know if the same happens to them.
Anyone???
EDIT: I am using Batt status to lock it. I can try another lock program, hang on!!
Well, I tried just the Today plug-in lock, and the same thing happened, however, I can't rule anything out, I not sure if that plug-in uses BSdevicelock.exe or a different one. I did a search for devicelock and the only file that popped up was the BSdevicelock. I need to find a different one and try it.
UPDATE:
I tried a diffrent devicelock program and the same thing happend.
Well, with WM6 the power button doesn't seem to like to work. Has anyone else had this problem?
Yes me to
Mine is working fine. What problem are you facing?
This update sorted out the problem The power button would not bring screen back to life?

Are you using Wisbar Desktop as listed here
Would you like WM6? or WM5 with this?
I faced this problem with WAD installed, most of keyboard keys didn't work
i don't think uninstall it will solve because it tried it too.
hard reset and don't use it again
Not using WAD or anything like that... and the link doesn't work there but i know it's also been linked elsewhere...
gonna also (finally!) look at using another ROM...
I found L26 WM6 Pro Business V7 VideoCall 2 worked best. Had to load into boot-loader mode which did confuse me for 10-15 minutes
Hey all, just upgraded to thingonasprings rom and im pretty chuffed so far... only a couple of problems, im sure someone will be able to help me as a newbie. Keyboard and phone buttons seem to work fine, but the dpad, backlight, voice dial and camera buttons and volume control all seem dead and the power button doesnt always bring the screen back up, i have to close the lid and re-open.
Is anyone else having this problem? Can anyone confirm them to be working in another rom that is as good as thingonasprings?
ok, i guess no one else has this problem... can anyone recommend a way to capture when a button is pressed and what reference refers to that button? Is there anything in the registry storing a button reference followed by its action. I may not be using the correct terminology.
If anyone can help it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
try to reflash it again... maybe it would help.
Thanks for the reply
I tried reflashing, and even tried changing to a different rom (I am using thingonaspring's rom, but have tried Beasty & Laurentius as well). Im guessing that this is something kinda specific to my device as it seems no-one else has had this problem. I know that the backlight button actually works as I can use it to get into the bootloader, thats why im thinking it must definately be a rom / software issue. Ive been looking for an app I can use to trace a button press, but cant find anything. I really like WM6, but without these buttons / volume slider i may need to swap back to something else... i was running 2003 with wisbar but the performance didnt seem as good as it is now, and i love realvga (I dunno if it is supported on other versions of the OS).
ok, think im getting somewhere - went back to wm5 and all was fine, went to wm6 and they worked until i reset...then nothing... hard reset and they work, until i reset again.... anyone any ideas please?
now sorted changed rom to jwrights and its much better - thanks
I installed several programs on my Cruise and unfortunately the device cannot be turned off anymore.
If I hold the button on top of the device and hold it, you get the message that you are turning the device off....but it puts it in hibernate....
I don't really know which program caused the problem, since I seldom turn my phone off. So in the 2 weeks I have the phone, I tried to turn it off only once.
In the beginning the button worked...but now...not anymore.
I know I can try a hard reset, but I am reluctant...since I have to install everything again.
The software I installed were:
SBSH PocketBreeze (uninstalled it)
PZP tools (uninstalled it)
BatteryStatus Advanced
SPB Diary
HTC Home Customizer
At least these are the programs of which I think could have caused the problem.
Does anybody know how to correct this, without hardresetting?
Same situation for me .....
Maybe HTC HomeCustomizer ???
you can try soft reseting the device with the stylus and see once it is back on if the problem persists. then u might want to try uninstalling the last application u installed to see if it makes a difference.

I have used HTC Home Customizer and do not have this problem. Have you tried a short double press of the power button? Sounds like the long press power off works by your descriptions. You may also want to check if xpshut will work for you.

I tried xpshut also with no results, now after hardresetting seems it's all ok. If the situation will repeat i'll write it in this thread, thanks mates
Problem seems to be resolved
The problem seems to be HTCHome v2.1 necessary for HHCustomizer to work. I installed it and i'm not able to turn off the device, after uninstalled it's all ok.
At least there is someone to share this inconvenience. Glad to hear you found out what caused it....however, does your Home Customizer still work?

No, it doesn't work without HTCHome v2.1
Keypad service
There's also a service, keypad, that if stopped, disables all buttons. Not sure if this applies to you or not, but I had stopped it on my TC by accident, and had the same issue you described.

Hi, my htc polaris touch screen started acting strange today. Touch screen do not respond or when you touch it it randomly respond with a random command (not the one I intended to) There is no crack or physical damage. Hardware buttons seems to respond correctly. (By the way the picture on the screen is ok, I mean you see what you supposed to see, it just doesn't respond)
Anyone had similar problem? Can you advise me what to do? Thanks

use CalibrationData to fix it
i figured out that by changing sttings/home/theme from htc to windows default, screen started responding. So it looks like a software failure (theme called htc). I am still interested in a better solution.

Can you briefly explain how to use it? (In the meantime I hard reset and I still have this problem)
