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.

hi, i just realized that my green and red answer/hung up buttons don't work,it's a rom bug?(i've the last one in italian installed)
can i map other buttons to make them work as answer/hung up buttons?
You can use VJKeyPress to emulate them. However, this sounds like a bad hardware fault, or a very odd bug. Check it carefully before considering other solutions.

can you please tell me how does it works?i don't understand so much reading from the web site description....can i assign to the contact button the answer function?(I think it's an hardware problem...you are right...)
what is the key for the red button?
can i link a shortcut created to an hardware button?
dpad buttons
all my dpad buttons dont work. apart from the send button which works as the end button. i dropped my mda compact smashed the screen and facia.and cried i had a :roll: barred :twisted: charmer so i swapped the screen and facia (dark grey) and it came back to life. then i found some 1 who wanted the charmer motherboard, :lol: so i sold it. now i have to send my dpad to isreal because they arent the same. i know what u r thinking how does this help us...... i just wanted to share it with u
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.
Hi,
Soft keys (back button and options/menu) key have stopped working on my device. Till date I was using softkey apps and worked well. However, suddenly options key turns on (simulates as if i pressed it) and hangs the screen. I have been informed by the service centre that whole touch panel needs to be replaced.
I've found one on ebay in half the price of what service centre quotes, need to make sure that it is the same stuff that I'm looking for.
Anyone aware of hardware stuff tell me the link I have shared gives me the correct thing or not.

Will be a great help.
hey guys, i noticed today that sometimes when i press the home button to wake the phone it doesnt react...when i press it again it works normally....this happened to me two times....did anyone see this?
That sounds like a hardware issue. The home button synthesize sensor must not be recognizing the pressure you are applying to the button. Did this happen after a software update?
I'm having the same issue with the home button being super spotty and straight not registering when I push the home button. This is super irritating. I constantly have to press the button and sit like an idiot while it does nothing, then press again.

i only noticed this today...and yes 2 days ago i have done an OTA update....
I have a Verizon version running 5.0.2
i tried now to see if this is happening when i am pressing the sides of the home button...and yes...it looks like sometimes i press the sides thats why it doesnt work....but the thing is my home button is a bit loose...so its easy to hit the sides...
I had the S4 and the Note 3. Never had a problem. If I press the button and it clicks it should work.

Hmm that could be a number of things. It could be the hardware. It could be the update that you've installed that is causing wake lock on the device. Since your phone is covered by the one year limited warranty, I think you should contact Samsung and request an exchange/replacement. You can, however, try a factory reset to see if the wake lock problem goes away.
Ok I've been able to replicate the problem 100% if I choose. It is most definitely a hardware problem. If the home button is pressed on the left corner of the button it fully depresses and even clicks. But it doesn't register as so.
Definitely a hardware issue.
My phone had this issue as well where it wouldnt register soft clicks or off center taps and I would regularly get missed presses when using the phone (unless I pressed the button hard). I had verizon send me a replacement. The new phone just showed up, and the home button works almost perfectly. I can still get it to not register if I try really hard to push extremely lightly, on the very edge of the button with my finger nail, but its easily 100x better than the previous one.
The new button is also almost silent while the old one made kind of a cheap plastic click sound like it rattled slightly. It also feels like it requires a tad less force to press than the old button. The old button I could easily recreate the issue 100% of the time by just pressing lightly or pressing off center and it would regularly bother me while using the phone.

Here is a "solution" that has worked for me. My S6 is the Verizon variant, but I think these steps will work on any Service Provider.
Settings > Accessibility > Dexterity and interaction > Assistant menu
From here, toggle the switch to "ON". This will create a hovering circle with a window with four panes inside it. If you interactive with the hovering circle it will open a new window in which you have access to the back and recent apps buttons via an onscreen button.
Not sure what has disabled the hardware buttons, but this should give you access via onscreen software.
I know it's not a true fix, but a work around.
If someone finds a true fix, please post it! But in the meantime ...
I hope this helps!
Hello,
I had a S6 and after 4 days I noticed loose home button: it made noise the tap on it (not press). And also didn't registered clicks on the left side.
I exchange it for another and this one is almost perfect. I notice the left side of the butto to be a bit pressed. Anyway, I suspect a harware issue.

My home button stopped working all together right after an update. How can I remove this issue? Every thing else works perfectly. Please help!
I have issues with my home button as well, it's "loose" and rattling. It has always been a bit loose but the last few months it has gotten worse and worse, it started to require more and more pressure to register the press (way beyond the pressure needed for it to *click*). As of now it does not even work at all, no matter how hard I try pressing it.
I've tried the assistant menu that's mentioned here in the thread but I just find the menu annoying. Instead I have learned to live with it for the time being, I just multitask to instagram or facebook and then spam the back button until I'm back at home.
100% hardware issue.
Apparently it's possible to replace the home button, and there are replacement home button to buy from ebay, but the replacement procedure is ridiculuos. The home button is basically the last thing you will demount from the phone when disassembling it.
I found a temporary fix by dabbing the home button with Isopropyl, this made it like new again. But two days later it's back to as it was before, or maybe even worse.
Annoying as hell, especially since this is a result of poor quality control from Samsung.
Update: Found a nice little app on play store called "button remapper" which lets me rebind the default system buttons without requiring root, i have rebinded the "recent apps" button to act as a home button instead, and a long press opens the regular "recent apps". Seems to be an alright workaround.
Just go to samsung shop,let them see,if no exchange or replace or fix, take their demo phones like s8 (2017) throw on to the floor and then take any phone u want, leave the s6 phone alone (make sure it is factory reseted).Ran away and shout #ALLAHUAKBAR!
