i recently flashed prime 1.7 and the latest pcb theme - thanks to roach and scar for these kewl rom and theme -
One thing that seemed odd though, the home button aint workin, also, i dont have the slide function to unlock anymore.pressing the power button automatically wakes the tf. Havent noticed any1 mentioning this,so was wondering,is it just me or its the feature of these? This is my very first flashing of a rom and theme
any ides anyone?
I had the same issue this morning, I backed out to my home screen, then opened up tapatalk app. Then presses the recent apps button next to the home button and there was launcher in the list. After a picked launcher it started working again.

Hi guys,
I went from loving my Touch Pro to almost throwing it at a wall!
This keyboard slide-out issue is driving me nuts, whenever I want to type something using the hardware keyboard, I slide it out and the damn landscape TF3D menu gets displayed ON TOP of whatever page I'm on.
I've tried the disable landscape registry trick (HKCU\SOFTWARE\HTC\Manila\landscape=false then soft reset) which works... but after a while (a few minutes or after some program or some random thing) it stops working and I have to either reset the phone or turn the reg key back to "true".
Is there any way at all to prevent the keyboard slide showing the landscape menu or at least prevent the menu from being on top of the current app?
For example I go to reply an SMS (I even tried waiting on the cursor to blink a few times, 2 - 3 secs) then slide out the keyboard to type and the stupid 8 icon menu goes on top of my message entry page, I have to choose 'messaging' app from the list of running apps to get back to that page, it really defeats the purpose of having a hardware keyboard!
Thanks guys for reading the rant.

What ROM are you currently using?
I had that issue too, I got rid of the theme I was using and stuck to the original HTC theme and I no longer have that problem!
I'm using Da_G's Clean ROM with his standard Manila install afterwards.
I've recently uninstalled the EzInput/T9 package from HTC and it seems to be behaving itself for now (it's been 2 hours with minimal use), like I said before it happens randomly. I don't know if it was because of the EzInput or something else because this seems to go away after every soft reset then comes back unexpectedly.
Thanks.

I had the issue using the RRE ROMs and ended up removing HTC Volume Control and it solved the problem completely.
Hrm I see to be having the issue again. How do I remove the HTC Volume Control?
I don't have any of this because I dumped the TF3D. Much happier and trouble/issue free without it. Euro device using stock rom.
OK I can confirm that it is the HTC Volume Controls that is causing this!
So from my previous post I tried to uninstall HTC EZinput which seemed to have fixed it but like I originally said the problem seems to happen out of nowhere after some time using the device.
So after reading the post above about HTC Volume Control, I pressed the vol down button, then this problem started happening again. I did a soft reset and no more problem after a while I pressed the vol button again and it happened again!

but he link that you gave us is for HTC Diamond... not for HTC Raphael...
will the application works on HTC Raphael??
Problem solved!
I had this problem for ages (as long as I have my Raphael, I think), and I couldn't track it down on the internet. Some time ago I found a post on XDA describing the problem but I can't find it again. Finding this post made me think.
I installed the aforementioned "volume control from JMZ" (I had extremely hard time finding it) and I didn't like it because it did something strange with my system font but it solved the problem. After few unsuccessful tries to fix the font (btw does anyone know how to fix this?) I decided to uninstall it. And the problem didn't return.
So what was the problem? Well… when I bought the phone I wanted (as many of you did) to change those ugly taskbar icons including volume icons contained within HTCVolumeControl.dll. And I did it by finding the dll file with the prettiest icons here on XDA (and maybe I changed some of them using the described procedure, I really can't remember now). However, that dll is the main culprit for the bug described in this post. Was it already broken when I found it, or I somehow broke it it's irrelevant now.
So the solution is: you don't have to install anything. Just delete HTCVolumeControl.dll from Windows folder, i.e. rename it using for example Resco File Explorer and then soft reset the device so that original file from ROM can be restored. Yes, the ugly icons will return but at least now you'll now where to look if this bug reappears. After that go and some find pretty volume icons, and again follow the procedure how to change them.
I have no idea how the file got corrupted in the first place (maybe there is some corrupted dll roaming the xda forum ) but after this episode I make changes only directly on the original dll (the one from ROM) and every time it was successful. I changed many icons until I found my favorites.
Cheers!
I am finding my Menu button to not work when at teh default home screen, intermittently. Sometimes it doesn't work more than it does.
I thought maybe it was due to Launcher. I did a restore from one a couple back, and it was working again.
I've been working with TASKER a lot, and wonder if that could be affecting it.
I tried an uninstall of Tasker and that didn't help. Only the restore helped. But as noted, its back again.
I also had the volumne button not work earlier.
Maybe its a hardware problem.
Anyone else having this?
when I am at my default home screen my home button doesn't do anything, except vibrate. Though, I am using LauncherPro atm. The home button also doesn't do anything on my home screen in TouchWiz either...
It never did, I never thought it was supposed to do anything other than return you to the default homepage when you were away from it on the launcher.
It is the MENU button I am having problem with, not the HOME button.
The home button single click will take you to your default home screen. (I think it is changeable what it does in Launcher Pro).
I have about decided my problem is from teh latest version of Launcher Pro. I have restored to a previous version, and no problems at the moment. I actually have done this a couple times: Restored to old, worked OK, reinstalled latest, worked OK for a while and started acting up again.
this happened to my friend, after a stock reflash it worked fine...but ive read some people have to switch out their phones...
Hmmm...not sure what to do. My 30 days is up this weekend.
I am frustrated about the GPS stuff, and considering, albeit just barely, taking it back until that is resolved.
But maybe I should at least do an exchange. If I reflash and the button works (which it is working right now...I am on an older version of Launcher), then i'd have to use the GPS concerns to take it back.
Let's see: Keep it; exchange it; return it.
Decisions decisions...
I think it's the latest version of Launcher Pro that's the issue as well. I'm seeing the same exact behavior as you, and the easiest way to resolve it for me is to swipe over to a different home screen, THEN the menu button will work again for a while. I'm getting the haptic feedback when I press the menu button, but no menu popup, so it leads me to believe we're not having a hardware issue, but rather a strange bug with the latest Launcher Pro version.
Having the same issue after I installed the latest version of launcher pro. I am pretty confident that launcher pro is to blame here and not the phone hardware itself.
Someone needs to go to their forum and notify them of this problem. I don't have a userID over there.
I may try to get one set up.
I'm just pretty sure now that it is Launcher Pro. Lecmmada describes the symptoms the same as mine. If I use switcher, and switch to TouchWiz, it works fine.
[EDIT]
I registered and left a note in their bug section, and referenced this thread.
there is already a thread about this on their board. They are well aware of the issue.
Well, they have one more post on it then

I have the same problem, the home and the search buttons stop working after installing TNTlite4.3.

Reflash the rom. I had the same problem after flashing one of the CM7 nightlies. A wipe and reflash solved my problem.

I'm running infused 1.5.2 + loopy addon + latest infusion kernal.
For some odd reason, ADW doesn't let me long press on icons, the screen or widgets. I can't move anything or drag anything new to the home screens. The widget/shortcuts menu doesn't come up either. Other than that everything else seems fine. I've cleared data(in settings>apps>manage apps>) twice and reinstalled it twice, but same thing, and even after the data clears, it still holds on to my settings. Like I tinted the dock, and it's still tinted. Any ideas?
Did you hit the menu button twice on you home screen and unlock the desktop. It's only doing what you asked it to.
Sounds like you locked the desktop indeed. Hit menu while on home screen and simply tap unlock

seems like a hardware issue
U can try to do a factory reset in the Stock recovery to see if it fixes it. If not off to repair

As i think home button is soft button in the screen not hard button so no hardware involved but software problem try www.samfirmware.com to reflash stock rom again or www.teamhacksung.org to reflash cm10

It may be that the setting for the home key has been accidently changed. You could try this - on any of the home screens, pinch to reduce size. All the home screens will now be visble with a home emblem on upper right corner. See if this has been checked for whichever screen you want as the home screen. This is what I did when I had a similar issue. But am a noob and maybe you have already tried this.
