I have spent hours searching to see if someone else has had this problem and haven't been able to find anything.
My lower D-pad and its buttons/touch panel have stopped working properly. The touch part of it doesn't work at all and the buttons have reduced functionality. Only the up/down and the home buttons work. From what I can tell this was after flashing Tael's latest Sense2.5 ROM.
I have reset the phone back to standard, using an original HTC Rom, going back to standard SPL, and standard radio. This has not fixed the problem.
The only thing I can find that seems to be related, is when I go into the bootloader there is a line that says "PSOD-wrong platform". I'm guessing that a code somewhere has changed somehow telling the phone that it doesn't have a touchpad, possibly because the phone the ROM was ported from didn't have the touchpad. It might be a longshot but that is my best guess.
I have no idea how else to troubleshoot this and any help would be great.
Thanks in advance.

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
Hi all,
I read through a lot of threads and downloaded tons of ROMS for my TyTN II. Most of them were from dutty's or no thrills. Problem however is that everything seems to work, it is also very fast.
However after a while my (hardware) keyboard and also the buttons (e.g. sliding wheel and keypad on the front) does not respond anymore. When I click any of the hardware buttons the light goes on so it does react on the buttons, however it just doesn't do anything...
Did anyone else experience this issue? I will no try to switch back to the original HTC rom (6.0) since I have no choice but if anyone knows how to fix this?
P.S. I just noticed that all my buttons do not work, it is no hardware issue since It does work after a hard reset, might be caused by incompatible applications? (e.g. SPB phone or SPB theme)
Kind Regards,
Nico van der Linden
If a hard reset fixes your problem each time, then it sounds to me like a bad flash. I would try reflashing the ROM you are currently running. Make sure to hard reset immediately after the flash also.
ok thanks, I'll try to download the ROM flash again , and perform an hard reset directly after the flash. Hopefully this times the ROM update will go better.
Regards,
Nico...
Just my 0.02$:
I think this is related either to WM6.1 builds or to a hack/fix/setting that most custom ROMs use.
I flashed Dutty's Apr 01 ROM and i had this issue. Then i flashed Mobile Vista 1.3 and it happens again . So it's not present in just one ROM, or just in ROMs cooked by a certain chef.
By "issue" i mean every once in a while the touchscreen stops responding to clicks and the keys stop working (but the keys backlight comes on, so HW seems ok).
During this unusual behaviour i noticed that the device is NOT frozen - BatteryStatus updated it's CPU usage while the keys and touchscreen didn't respond, so only the input stops working, the system is ok.
I have a feeling this is a common issue, but people see it as a freeze, and think their processor is too loaded, and they don't report it.
EDIT: Oh, and i got flamed and ignored whan i reported this here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=385080
EDIT2: I have a feeling this will get a lot of attention soon, just like the time i noticed the Tytn II is underperforming, and the fact that's it's missing 3D HW support

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
The quickest way to get out of that situation is turn off the backlight and turn it back on again, aka power button...and your screen will work again.
Also I noticed that if I flash the radio again my screen taping problems go away.
Also sometimes flashing to the original shipped ROM and then flashing back to a WM6.1 ROM also works.
Well I do not have an problem with the touch screen, this always keeps working (although the device does get VERY slow sometimes) . 'Only' my hardware buttons do not work anymore (including the hardware keyboard). It is strange that it does work after a hard reset or an install of another ROM. However, also then it stops working after half a day or so.
It might occur as soon as I change the hardware button assignment but I am not sure about this yet.
However, if anyone knows a ROM where this does not occur (e.g. an original HTC WM6.0 ROM dutch or english) then please let me know which one. I just want a working Tytn II back and I do not care anymore which version .
Kind Regards,
Nico...
Ah by the way, when this problem occurs it does not go away anymore when I turn of the device. I also tried removing SIM, memory card and battery but after it is started again the problem remains. Only a hard reset solves it....
But I am a bit confused? Is there nobody else who get these issues???
yeah...
i can confirm all of your bug...
with Vega R8 italian ROM from UDK
question
not all the keys on my htc s710's keyboard are working all the time. for instance the dot, the letter b and letter k do not always work. strangely enough, sometimes all the keys work for a while, and then for no apparent reason the same keys do not work anymore (always the same keys) i tried several roms, with all the problem exist. when i do a cold restart, and try the keys most of the times the will work for a while, but after a while they stop working. same if the power drops (battery drops below a certain percentage), the problem is more persistent and the keys fail more often than with a fully charged battery. i already checked the connection cable on the mainboard, that appears to be seated fine.
any idea's and suggestion (no warranty off course, since i opened it up myself)
Not working
Ive got same problem here.
Cap/Sft and fn isnt working in text message mode.

Please help us out!!

http://www.maritime-billeder.dk/uploads/file/VOX_SM_A01 _GENERIC_.pdf
read before u do anything and remember if something dont work, stop, think.. DONT use violence
oh.... opening the phone works in the case some buttons dont work anywhere... otherwise its software.. maybe hard reset, reflashing?
Its definately not hardware.
Because when I Updated from orginall Vodafone Rom to WM 6.1 the keyboard started to decline.
So does someone has a solution for this?
I dont have much knowledge of this, but managed to update my HTC S710 to WM 6.1.
(sorry for my english)
After a soft-reset, the right button on the scroll wheel is simply not responding at all. I can still press left, up, down, and turn it both ways and it responds normally - but the right button is doing nothing.
I've tried many soft-resets, and I don't see how on earth a hard reset could help this at all, unless it really is some random registry entry that somehow got messed up.
I thought I'd ask here in case anyone knows of some obscure registry issue that could have caused this somehow. Otherwise, I guess I just have to accept the fact that I'll never again be able to use the right scroll wheel button.
Any suggestions or experiences with this? Or, if not, can anyone just tell me where to find this in the registry so I can check it myself?
Thanks, in advance.
I have the very same problem, right button not responds even if i boot android with haret.
Please help!
Should i take apart and clean, or what else?
Thanks!
I have the similar problem, d-pad left button almost dosent work.
I mast push it very hard to make it work.
I think it's a hardware problem.
any idea to fix this problem without changing another d-pad?
Hi,
I have the same problem, too. The right button from d-pad doesn't work. Since the button stopped working, I've tried more than one or two different ROMs. The result is the same.So all that means the problem isnt in the software. I think its hardware malfunction. I use this phone more than 3 years. May be its more than enough yo use it. I think your phones need nothing but repair
I have looked in the threads for answers and still can't find the answers I need. I have a tilt 2 with an energy rom and cookie. Don't know which versions. latest i think. My problem is that I can't seem to get the phone to wake up with any button. Tried registry hacks and the option in settings key lock.
I am also having a problem with my media player flipping to the left where I would have to turn the phone upside down to see it correctly when it is actually turned to the side for landscape mode. Any help would be appreciated. Wanted to fix without installing changescreen. Thanks.
Moved as not software release.
Use G-Config to remove reference of Media player.
Thanks. I tried it but, it didn't seem to work. Going to try to wipe the sytem and redo unless someone knows another way to fix the issue. Still can't seem to get the wake without power button to work for me either.
I wiped and it worked fine, something glitched up. Thanks for the help!!
