Just curious if anyone has had issues when reassembling this phone. What happens with me is that the main buttons (on the bottom of the phone) get stuck and when you try to push them in they don't seem to have any give to them.
I appreciate the help.
Thanks!

Alright, I bought a used mytouch slide that has been rooted and is running a custom rom. The phone has been working great for the last month. Yesturday the battery on the phone died completely and now whenever I turn the phone on it goes straight to the hboot screen. There is also no response from any of the buttons on the phone. None of the keys are stuck and there has been no water damage to the phone. Any input anyone could give me would be greatly appreciated. This is my wifes phone and I really know nothing about htc phones as I use a moto droid. Thanks to anyone who can help me.
so ive had my evo shift for awhile and no problems with it.. well last night when i went to pull out my keyboard to reply to a text mesage my touch screen stopped working.. and i do mean all the screen including the home, menu, back, and search buttons.. so i pulled the battery off and was able to get the buttons working, but everytime i pull the keyboard out it does the same thing as before. so i thought it might have been the rom so i reflashed miui and still the have the same problme. i went ahead and flashed shiftdeck and still same problem. now if i dont open up the keyboard im able to use the phone as normal, but really annoying which is why i opted for the shift due to the keyboard.. has anyone experienced this or can point me in the right direction?

Is it completley turning off? Black screen?
If it is there have been a couple other threads about this.
We believe it is due to wearing on the flex cable (which happens in slider phones)
Sprint will replace this free of charge as long as you unroot before you bring it to them.
..
If this is not your issue then idk what to tell you
nope screen does not go black at.. i noticed that if i do pull the keyboard screen doesnt work, if i slide the keyboard and leave it alone for about 5 min or so touch screen will start working.. thats why i figured it would have been an issue with the rom. as for taking it back to sprint i flashed this phone to cricket due to lack of sprint service. i have an evo 3d i recently flashed to cricket but i cant let my shifty die.. lol
Like notso said it's in all likely hood the Flex Cable. If you don't want to take it into Sprint, you can buy the Flex Cable off Ebay. It's about $40 bucks. But I would probably go through the trouble of flashing back to Sprint stock and taking it to them for repair. But that's just me. But if your already on Cricket that means you don't have Sprint TEP. So you might as well fix it yourself.
Alright so I've got a sensation running RCMix v0.9 and my bloody power button keeps messing up. When I press it sometimes it will register the press twice and my screen will turn on then off.
This happens multiple times and it's driving me up the wall so I was wondering if anyone else has seen this and if so, then how did they fix it.
Same problem
I have the same issue! I thought it might have been a hardware problem and was going to get my phone replaced but hopefully it is a software issue because I don't want to have to go through the process of re-rooting my phone!
This seems to be happening to everyone. I think it's a hardware issue that can be remedied with a software fix to decrease sensitivity.
Ah Bummer. Hopefully someone will come up with a homebrew remedy to fix the issue. So far I've folded a piece of paper and stuck it under the button. It's a very temporary fix but I'll probably end up hot gluing the button so it isn't so flimsy

Theres a temporary solution here
Hi all
I swear this is some voodoo stuff going on with my phone. I replaced the lcd by myself about half a year ago and it was working fine until last week, but I assume this has something to do with it.
Thing is, the screen freezes whenever I'm not pressing its bottom down. Like I can get it running and do whatever I want while squeezing the bottom of the screen (just below the softkeys) and the back of the phone together but as soon as I let go, the screen freezes and I have to take the battery out. Don't ask how I figured it out. The softkeys still vibrate when I press them but I have no idea if the phone is still running fine or if it's actually the system which freezes. The former would make more sense to me though.
I also had the touchscreen issue which I didn't ever get around but I don't think it has anything to do with this.
I have opened that sucker up and taken a gander, I assume some connector is loose or something is grounded poorly but I couldn't see anything. I appreciate any kind of help.
Thank you.

Yeah well, the lcd has only one connector and it is properly attached. Could anything else go wrong with it? I will fix it again if I know it could help somehow but it was a real pain and I don't want to screw anything without a reason.
And that is the same link as in my post but thanks anyway. I was just mentioning it in case it could be related, I don't really care about it any longer.

HI,
re fixing the lcd screen might fix the problem.
the problem might be their so
My brother's girlfriend has an SGH-i997r (the canadian varient of the Infuse 4G for Rogers) and it was stuck in a bootloop one day, it would show Rogers logo, Samsung logo, black screen, repeat. She removed the battery and it then changed the bootloop to a loading icon, then an empty battery logo, black screen, repeat.
I figured I would give it a go and try to see what I could do with it and I found some stuff that just says this is a power button problem and to clean out the power button however I found out it's the actual button on the board that's malfunctioning.
I took a stab at it by attempting to reflow the motherboard and after reflowing, the board was cool and I assembled the phone just enough to turn it on and it actually started up to the Samsung animated boot logo this time then half way though it stopped and turned off again but then it came up with the battery icon and started charging.
So if I just focus the reflow area to the power button alone I think I may be able to fix this without replacing the physical switch on the board itself so I'll keep posted on how this goes as this may be another new alternative to fixing the bootloop problem with these phones and if anyone else has any tips I could try to alternativly fix this if it still doesn't work it would be greatly appreciated.
EDIT:
It got it working but the power button is still very touchy and needs to be replaced. It turns out that reflowing these boards will allow the power button to start functioning again or at least long enough that you can back up all of your data/restore to stock ROM before sending it in to Samsung.
I hope this helps anyone else with this problem. It worked pretty good for me, I just held a hair drier over the board with it facing away from me so the power and volume buttons were facing towards me (as if the LCD would be facing me and the battery facing away from me) and I heated it up for 1 minute, let cool for 1 minute, and I would repeat this for about 10 minutes in total and it starts up every time now, it just turns the screen off if I ever so lightly brush my finger along the power button, other then that though it's working and I'm sure she'll be pleased it didn't cost a cent.
Best of luck to anyone else with this problem.
Post in q and a thread. Might help other ppl

Yeah, I didn't think of that
I fixed the phone completely, she ordered some new buttons off of eBay for a buck with free shipping, gave them to me and I removed the existing buttons and changed all of them to new ones and now the phone works perfect. I guess as a temporary fix you can reflow the board to the point where you can back up your data, but for a long term fix you need to replace the buttons.
I hope this helps anyone else having this problem. I may have pictures of the process still I can upload if anyone is interested or needs help.
