[Q] possessed home button on captivate - Captivate General

Greetings,
I flashed my captivate to Axura a few days ago and I love it. However I've noticed that my home button seems to have a mind of its own. It triggers on its own without my touching it, and it triggers many times in a row. Almost seems like a hardware problem, but it could be related to the Axura mod.
Has anyone had this problem and know if there is a solution to it? Or do you think this is a hardware issue, in which case, what should I do about it?
Thanks for the information and advice everyone!

I used to have this problem with the default 2.1 firmware. I haven't had it a single time since I've been using Cognition ROM.

I had the same problem, but after flashing back to stock, a master clear, and loading a new ROM everything is working like it should.

Could use suggestions on an issue

I recently flashed to Shav3d on my wing camera worked 1 time then neither the button or shortcuts would work thinking some how i might have corrupted a file or the rom just didn't like me i went over to numb3rs .. still no camera so i jumped back to shav3d again at this time i still have no camera and was wondering if anyone had had this particuler problem and if so if you might be able to reccommend a fix. Thanks ahead of time for your advice and input.
have you tried anybody elses WM6.5 Roms? All the ones listed were made by Ace who isn't doing any updates (Atleast i don't believe he is) but i don't think anyone else had those problems with his ROMs
Good point i'll try another this evening. Open to suggestions on which. didn't figure was a common. Problem as didn't see mention of anthing about it posted. Thanks for the respond.
they are all good... really just depends what you want M2D or titanium or niether.

Yea, that's weird. I would hazard to guess that the phone's hardware is having a problem somewhere. I don't have that problem at all.
As to updates to my ROM's, well, if these TP2 people would stop freakin releasing soooo many ROM's, then I could work on mine! I'm trying to tweak up the visuals, and fix some minor bugs. But there's nothing that really needs a major update, just some very minor things.
But there's millions of ROM's out there now. You can try everything. It's impossible to say which is good now.
Thanks guys ill keep chasing the issue except for that one minor matter i love your ROM's Ace so keep it up
I'm still a noob, but whenever I've done something or tried a ROM that jacked up my wing, I revert back to stock ROM, and try again from scratch. I know it's probobly a long way about the problem, but it works for me. lol! like I said, still a noob. lol.
Sorry to have to resurrect this thread. I'd really like to stick with the numb3rs ROM, there has to be a way to fix the camera; I'm hoping someone knows how.
I also noticed the home screen & tmail randomly crashes when I open a message & it halts on "loading". grr.
Unless anyone knows of a cleaner ROM with a similar UI?
Check to make sure your SD Card is working properly?

talk and end buttons stop working

this problem has been bugging the heck out of me. I only noticed it once I flashed custom ROMs. I may go back to the ATT rom or chadsters stripped ATT rom if need be.
it happened on all versions of EnergyROM I have used over the last few months and on hergs new wm6.5 rom as well.
my talk and end buttons just seem to stop working sometimes and act as the home and back buttons respectively when they fail. Sometimes even the back and home buttons stop responding and the whole area aside from the dpad is useless. This only happens after a while and a soft reset temporarily fixes the issue...until something triggers them to stop working again.
this is causing me extreme frustration with my Fuze that I otherwise love...
is anyone else having this issue? is there a fix? if not, I will try just moving back to a stock ROM and see if it happens.
Yes, I have the exact same problem on the same roms.
Turning the screen off and on again seems to fix it for me.
I am using the stock ROM and have this issue.
Moved to the Raphael subforum
same problem
i have same problem..yesterday i flash new EnergyRom Genesis and 1.14.25.05 radio..and all my buttons except hw keyboard stop working (volume up,down,back,home,answer call,end call button stop working)..so i falshed back older EnergyRom and its still not working (older EnergRom was ok, everything worked fine for me), some people have same problem and solve it by flashing back stock rom, but i tried so many original stock rom and cooked rom with combination with many radio and soft resets and hardresets..and its still not working...i dont have warranty now-so i dont know what to do...but iam sure-that it is software problem..but dont know what to do..please help me..
I had the same problem, twice. I don't know if it is EnergyROM that causes this or that its just because so many people flash EnergyROM that they notice it and think it is what causes it.
My first time also started shortly after flashing my first EnergyROM, when my FUZE was about 5 months old. No matter what I tried flashing, hard resetting, anything I couldn't fix it. So I reverted it to stock and had AT&T replace it. The second time this happened was also about 4 months after I got my replacement. I was also running EnergyROM, but I had been running the same ROM and hadn't flashed for over 2 months when it started again. Once again, I had to get it replaced under warranty.
I assume this problem isn't very widespread and don't know if it is a hardware fault or if flashing ROMs someway changes something that isn't always changed when flashing ROMs. This may even be an AT&T specific issue. I would recommend just calling and having it replaced, everyone who bought it new still has warranty, and hopefully if you bought it refurbished it isn't over 3 months old.
Since I have had this issue twice and they sent me DOA replacements 2 times, they offered to give me another phone last time I asked for a replacement. They offered the Epix and the Incite, which I declined and took another FUZE instead. I told them to note it on my account. I am going to try getting my FUZE replaced with a Touch Pro 2 once that is at least 1 month old.
thanks very much for your reply...iam from czech republic..every from my last five WM phones i bought in czech republic was new from T-Mobile..but i lost my first touch pro (it cost me 600euro)..so i decided to buy second touch pro in england, when i was there on holiday (prize only 200euro- but second hand)..now iam back in czech republic, buttons on my touch pro dont work and i dont have warranty i loved energy rom..but i think, that it is reason, why my touch pro dont work
I have the same problem with my Fuze (using NATF 4.5 ROM). I don't think it's a software issue. I think it's a malfunction of the capacitive touch sensor (NAV sensor) that controls the entire bottom panel of the phone (HOME/BACK/TALK/END and Smart Touch wheel). Search for a tool called navdbgtool.exe. It lets you see what inputs are registered by the panel (e.g. where it detects a touch or which buttons are pressed). Mine sometimes works fine but randomly malfunctions (zoom functionality is broken, buttons do not perform the proper commands).
Same here!
I only have flashed Shep's and Timolol's ROM.
what is wrong?
i'v seen somewhere on forum for blackstone, that hard spl can cause weird problems like that, maybe touch pro needs 'bios' update?
it's just a thought, as i've got same problem... really annoying ####!
I have the same problem!!!! I thinked that was a hardware problem but now that I have read all your post I think is a software problem, because I'm using ENERGYROM with sense 2.5 and zoom function is broken and I have the same problems with all keys......I don't now waht to do.....Any ROM fix this problem??? I open a new post, please check:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=596314
Glad to know that others are having similar problems. Just flashed to the latest version of the EnergyROM and having trouble with the Talk key.
A soft-reset seems to fix it for awhile, then it randomly stops working. Haven't had time yet to either hard-reset or flash back to the previous version. Will try that when I get time.
I do suspect it is a software issue. The key press is registered, something is making it do something else. So the solution for me is using Tarkim's Keyboard Config, having it map that key to Talk. Works like a charm!
Okay, finally had a chance to do a hard-reset. The buttons now work like a charm and overall, things work much faster. Not sure what the deal was, originally went through the proper steps to flash, including a hard-reset afterward...
I'm glad that you solved your problem....but please where I can get the Tarkim's Keyboard Config?? I did a hard reset and nothing happened!!! Thanks for your help.
Sorry, didn't have the link handy at the time. Here's the thread about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521786
to resolve my issue on this thread...
I took my phone in for warranty replacement due to this issue. I got a new phone, flashed the ROM I was having issue with at the time and have not had a problem since on any ROMs
I have the latest "stock" rom installed and I am having the same problem. Hard reset or soft rest doesn't permanently fix my problem. Also my navigation "wheel" in the middle will sometimes go bizerk while typing texts, in the form of zooming all the way out and zooming all the way in...very fast. Never understood that button. I don't use the bloatware. Seems like a hardware problem to me?
Another feature that has stopped working as of lately was is the selecting of multiple email msgs with one finger swipe... I have to use the shift button to select multiple msgs.
Seems that HTC has stopped supporting the fuze, as there is no support on their website?

[Q] Intermittent "not registered on network"

Hello people. I searched for info on this issue, but nothing for the Captivate came up. Intermittently I'll wake my phone up and there will be a little circle with a line through it where there should be network info. Anything I try to do with the network pops up a "Not registered on network" (or something like that) message. Usually rebooting the phone will solve the problem, but last weekend after three reboots it was still doing it. I left my house and an hour later checked it and no circle/line icon. This happens every several days, so not a chronic problem yet. Still very annoying. Any solutions? Thanks.
Stock Captivate.
I would consider warranty return if it were me I havent seen or heard of this before your post. good luck.
I have a stock captivate and let's just say I am incredibly disappointed and annoyed with it and at&t in general I'm tired of all the run around and hold up concerning froyo, but this isn't the thread for that.
My phone has been glitchy since the get go. The newest is the issue with "not registered on network". It has happened off and on, but a couple days ago, after I had turned the phone off for the night and back on, the phone screen blanked out while the bottom touch panel stayed lit and everything became totally unresponsive. After several reboots by removing the battery, my screen finally came up again, but so did that little blue circle and line...voila..."not registered on network"
The guy in tech support from at&t tried to help me out. He stayed on the phone with me for over 2 hrs trying to correct the issue, but even after a factory wipe...nada. Lost all my apps, free and purchased... if we would have froyo like promised, all my apps would have been backed up...UGH...
This is actually my third captivate in as many months. My first phone bricked itself after 2 days. No one could ever figure out why. I am waiting on a replacement as we speak. Of course my "new" phone is being replaced with a refurbished one. I hate that considering my current phone was only 3 months old and didn't have a mark on it, but what can I do?
because you don't mention if you're running stock or a custom ROM, I'm going to assume custom ROM. and if you are, then you must have not searched very hard because this is already a semi-known issue: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=864903
it happens to me ANY time I use a modem newer than JK3... when I use UGJK3 or older, no problems... but if I use UGJK4 or newer, random "no service" on the lock screen with the "circle with a line through it" in the notification bar. as of right now (I believe) there's no known issue why some modems fail on only some hardware. I have a batch 1006 and it works fine right up until the UGJK3 modem, while some people seem to have absolutely no issues with modems (even the newest ones like UGJL2 and TLJL3). basically, if you're running a JPY based ROM, flash JK3 and see if that helps... if that doesn't, go back to a stock captivate ROM of some sort with a stock modem so you don't have these issues (never happened to be me on JI6/JJ4)
Try changing ur SIM card. That could solve the issue.
In my case, it is original stock all the way. The SIM card is fine because I switched it into two different at&t phones and had no issues at all. Right now my Captivate is a gloried camera and MP3 player.
I forgot to subscribe to my own stinking thread! I know this is stale now, but here goes.
I'm running stock froyo, rooted. At the time of the original post I was using it completely stock on eclair. Shortly after the post, it stopped happening and haven't had issues since. I still don't know what caused it. Thanks for all the input though.

Happened to me a year or so ago on a different phone. Turned out they were upgrading the tower closest to me with new hardware and were shutting it down intermittently to work on it.

Touchscreen Doesn't Work Occasionally

It doesn't work in small areas of the screen, at random.
For example, earlier today, when typing on portrait, the "E" key won't work. I went to calibration, and when typing the "E" on the short sentence, it didn't register.
After the E-key starts working, all of a sudden the "N" key doesn't work. Same story with the calibration not working as well for that key...
When this happens, and I switch to landscape, the letter/item/object in that vicinity still doesn't work.
It's as if that small area is dead, and it happens at random, but enough that I am annoyed I can't text.
What's going on...?
I had that problem with the P key a restart made it better again
This used to happen to me on optimized stock roms with the stock keyboard. I would suggest you to find a keyboard on the market such as swype, or flexT9 and use one of those.
I am not aware of a fix for the keyboard not responding to touch gestures, So you have to improvise
Same here, I searched but could not find a fix. When I used another keyboard (if I recall) the problem become less frequent. Now that i am rooted and running a custom ROM, problem resolved.
Its gonna happen no matter what. Read the sensation forums its happening with that phone as well. Not sure if HTC is using the same touchscreen driver, but if they are that would explain it.
Do you know if it is a rooting problem our just the phones driver? I never had any issues when my phone was stock...the keyboard felt better on stock also.

This also happens to me on occasion but it happened to my captivate also. Both rooted and romed with ASOP source. Maybe thats the cause?
Same here. Rooted and running a CoreDroid rom right now. Annoying.
That happens to me sometimes. Usually when I clean the screen it works.
This sure does appear to be a problem plaguing a lot of people.
I dont know why I've been spared this misery.
The closest I've ever experienced to this sort of problem was occasionally I'd be typing and it would sort of freeze, but all of the characters I typed in that "frozen" period of time actually went through, they just got delayed, like the phone had to catch up, as if they were buffered, but their actual output to the screen lagged by a second or or two. It doesn't do it anymore, and hasn't for a long time.
I can't think of what I did that would have made it disappear... I haven't flashed a different ROM for a long time. Running inspired ace.
What you guys are describing sounds different... Like no matter what you do, a certain key won't register, yet others will register just fine.
Yep that is what happens. No matter what you do the certain key would not register. It would require a restart. But as I mentioned before, ever since I rooted and changed ROMS, I have not experienced this problem again, yet. It wasn't often this would happen. Maybe twice a week or so....
This happens on my inspire as well. For me its the H key sometimes. I'm running cyanogenmod 7.1 and strangely enough its happened for two different keyboards: swift beta and smart keyboard pro. I feel a little relieved its not just me experiencing this

[Q] Softkey Issue

Hey guys,
I tried looking for this issue but I can't seem to find it, I doubt I'm not the only one (I hope I'm not the only one...)
I've been flashing roms for a while now, fiddling with different settings/kernels/etc. and then all of a sudden I'm having issues with my Softkeys. I'll be using the phone and then they just go blank. What also happens is that the Search key gets held down (by a ghost, it seems) and it opens up the voice search option. I've also seen my Back button flicker as if it's being pressed repeatedly.
Right now I'm on CodeName Android 1.4 but I've tried 1.6, CM9 and it seems to be the same issue. I'm assuming that since this is consistant accross all ROMs that it's a hardware issue (I could be wrong) but I'm wondering if this has happened before and if there's a way to fix it.
Thanks gents
Hi friend,
The same happened to me once. It was very weird. I panicked, and locked the phone. Then when I unlocked it everything was as before. It must be some kind of a glitch, coming from CM9 built roms (almost all roms that are around). Try doing a totally clean install with a popular rom and see how it goes.
Now I remember that the same happened once again, when I got a drop of water on my screen, as the touchscreen seems to detect water as a form of touching and then all sort of weird things happened. Hope its a rom issue, not a Touchscreen failure.
Thanks man,
I'm really hoping it's not a hardware issue either as I'm not sure what the process is in terms of sending my phone in for repairs.
I'll try a clean wipe and install tonight and see how it goes.
Thanks again
Update: Alright so I ended up calling Samsung because I had come to the conclusion that it was a hardware issue because every ROM I flashed I had the same damn issue.
I got the ok to send in my phone and all that, I went to return my phone to Stock and when I installed the OEM operating system everything was okay... I seriously doubt that every ROM I downloaded was bugged.
I'm thinking it's just a general glitch or is it possible that 1 ROM I downloaded was bugged and everyone after that inherited the same problem? I don't know...
