hey guys
have an i-mate SP5 which i was using last year (i've since upgraded to a Palm Treo 750). the reason why i stopped using it was because the far right soft key wasn't working.
i've tried hard-resetting the phone to no avail. every now and then it works then drops out... so i can't access any menu functions at all.
does someone have experience in opening it up? i thought maybe a cleanup might fix the problem... or maybe something's preventing the button from making contact with the board...
or shall i just pay someone to do it?
Right soft key not working? You might need to clean up the keypad, someone in modaco posted a tutorial

As variant: Try AE Button Plus. By this program you can remap your button.
Hello,
My s710 keyboard is in bad shape. What I`m saying is that all the grey shinny color in the "end" and "answer" buttons is gone, and also these keys are broken near the light sensor (the part of the button, transparent, on top of the sensors that connects this buttons). So the buttons are now independent, if you know what I mean.
I am planning to buy this keyboard (the one for spv e650 because I like it more) and install it myself: http://cnn.cn/shop/orange-e650-black-keypad-p-3455.html
But the part is that I don`t know how, any ideas or tuts on how to replace my numeric keyboard?
Thanks!
I found the service manual, I`ll try to follow the indications there.
Wait! I bought the exact same keypad and you can't install it .. Its not the same as the one you have .. The e650 keys misses some small flips that will bound the keys to the pcb.. And then theres another problem.. The Keypad and the keypad pcb is connected with somekind of glue and its extremely difficult to do this yourself.. Believe me i have tried it and i gave up.. I ended up buying a device with broken screen and replaced the screen on that device with my own lcd instead as that is much easier..
Thanks for the reply! So I`d better go to a htc authorized service.

You already got an answer before.. stop creating multiple threads.
Flash AOKP, and enable navigation bar.
^^ aokp adds navigation button but does not disable hardware keys.
I think he needs to disable hardware buttons.

How did the problem occur in the first place? did you drop the phone? is the screen cracked/clean, did you press on the buttons too hard, did you have any water damage etc, there might be some fix for this.
^^ maybe a recalibration might work, but I have no idea how to do it on 9003. VolUp+Power button takes me to calibration menu on my spice mi-280.
I've been reading about these capacitive buttons being a huge battery drain for ICS roms for some time. Lot of people have been posting (in other forums) on ways to disable these keys to improve battery life. I might do it myself later on to see if it helps my battery life.

screen was clean, i use my phone gently...
no any water damage.
dont know how it happens..
but when it occurs first time the capacitive keys are disabled automatically..
after that i used button savior app and der is no any problm..
but after couple of weeks those capacitive buttons started working again nd problem of self activation also started...
hence i m now trying to cmpletly disable those capacitive buttuns..
i tried zip of nexus s galaxy s3 & galaxy s2 but didnt workd for my phone..
m tired now...
thanx for giving attention.
After reading a bit into this, I suggest something that might work.
Again emphasizing that try it at your own risk.
Go to /system/usr/keylayout/ and find file sec_touchscreen.kl.
Make a copy of this file as a backup.
Open this file as a text file in any text editor.
You'd see something like
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
Edit it by adding a "#" symbol in front of both lines
#key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
#key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
This is similar to what is suggested for sgsII.
See if you wanna try it out.
Also, note, this will only disable those keys, not the key lights. We can work on that once this one is done.
Hope this works *fingers crossed*

i did as u say and the capacitive buttons r not working now but i m still unable to touch on the screen..
it sounds funny but when i m connecting my phone to my laptot with data cable touch on screen works fair..
but when screen gets off problm occurs..
by d way thanx for ur help i can use my phone atlst
Not able to touch on the screen? I didn't understand this problem?
I had the same problem, disansamble the phone, take apaprt the touchscreen with the display from the chassis(verry gentle, you will risk to separe the glass of the lcd from it's back wich can remain stick to the chassis, a good sollution is to heat a little the touch before doing the separation) and with a cutter cut about 1mm from the signal traces for those buttons, the signal traces are imprimed on to a palstic foil wich is sticked to the touch.
That's the way i solved the problem. Good Luck.

How about you flash a clean CM9? I'm guessing that you have an app that's interfering since you tried to fix your problem and plugging in the USB cable turns off that app.
i tried many Custom ROM MOD but still problematic, now i m tired.... time to get new phone..
thanx for ur help

I must try a lot to find the correct spot so as to press the home button or the back button etc...they work , but i should try a lot as i described to find the right spot...several times i cannot find it....is there something special i should do to make them work fluenlty ? How is it possible for the rest of the screen to work properly and the capasitive buttons not? Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance
