Hello dear community,
I have a strange issue with my HTC ONE S:
HOME button activate on itself and loop(switch from miniatures to home page). After a while the three buttons are de activated.
Interrupt any activity you can have.
Not due to hand/finger misuse: it can happen phone lying on a desk…
Remark: It happens only when GSM/3G signal is very low. Plane mode solve the issue, but then it is hard to phone...
you can find a demo of buttons deactivated here(http removed I can't post links):

Do you have similar situations?
Do you think I should send it back to supplier? Or a baseband update could help if I'm patient?
Versions:
Android: 4.0.3
HTC Sense: 4.0
Software number: 1.53.401.2
HTC SDK API level: 4.11
HTC Extension version : HTCExtension_403_1_GA_4
Kernel version: 3.0.8-01500-ge2a40ab
Baseband version: 0.15.31501S.19_10.12.31501S.06L
Browser version: WebKit/534.30
OK, I suppose I'm alone in this situation...
Looks like a good return reason.
Some Antennas are directly behind the snsitivie buttons (below the lower plastic cap) so maybe some are misaligned and cause interference bad enough to trigger the buttons. You mention of using flight mode to cease the problem kind of makes me think this might be the case.
Im getting similar issue. Had this twice, thought its because of "shock", had this while driving and using maps, but just had it in my hands...
Any info about this problem?
issue gone
Hi,
The bug didn't happen since 4 days now.
I travelled by car on 350km using GPS, sms...
No more issue even with low signal.

Hello,
at the beginning I did 2 factory reset but the bug still happened.
Then no other change.
what I can notice is that the radio signal level is changing all the time between very different value even if not moving...I think there is some kind of radio instability...
EDIT: "WCDMA Only" setting is the key! That disables EDGE that is the source of problem.
Home screen button problem
Hi,
I'm also having this problem and am about to get my third replacement One S. I started a thread about it on the Vodafone forum which a few other people have now replied to with the same issue, although no one as yet can figure out exactly what's going on. I too think that it has something to do with the antenna being located near to the home button, as the problem seems to show itself every time I make an EDGE connection. HTC are apparently investigating my issue and have asked me to send them a bug report.
I'm not allowed to post the link to the Vodafone thread on here however you can find it by typing "htc one s home button problem" into Google.
After today I stopped believing its releated to H/3G signal change.
I just unlocked my phone (gps/wifi/mobile data - all OFF) and right after unlocking home button glitched... Didnt do anything...
Im gonna go for exchange soon
P.S. question - how are phones exchanged for you guys? They take it and send to service center, or just exchange right away? How it works? Never done that
I'm with Vodafone and they just offered to exchange it as soon as I explained the problem to them (I was within 7 days of having received it). The second phone had the same issue though so they then agreed to replace that as well, but they then sent me a reconditioned phone by mistake, so I'm now waiting for a fourth phone.
Hi
I did some testing and this issue is linked 100%, to EDGE. When "WCDMA only" is set : no issue.
HTC ONE S is unusable on EDGE network...
Hello
i instantly register on XDA forum because i have exactly the same issue with my HTC One S.
I have it since four weeks, i was very satisfied but this issue appears to my parent's house. Exactly the same issue: HOME button activate on itself and loop(switch from miniatures to home page). After a while the three buttons are de activated.
I returned at home and the issue disappears!
I confirm the pierre.grand's observations: i'm in EDGE to parent's house and WCDMA at home.
How to alarm HTC on this disturbing issue? I hope an update firmware will be soon...
Loop Problem
i have the exact same problem, but it seems that
the problem wont go away after turning off edge (mobile data)
Anyhow, it seems like its acting up when i shake the phone?
any ideas ?
Thanks for all help

It looks like the problem on my phone is when edge/3g or wifi is connected
When i turn of wifi and edge/3g the phone acts pretty nice!.
Is this related to firmware or hardware, ?
if its fw its no use compling to my the store, HTC Support does not "know anything about this error...".
Has anyone experienced this problem, and tried flashing costum rom?
do the problem still follow?
Thanks for all help.

I have the same problem. But I have installed Trickdroid 1.0,
CWF did not solve the problem.
cu goohnie
Phone returned.
But they sent it back to me syaing there is no problem. They made a firmware upgrade.
I'm now waiting for it.
Do you have some feedbacks?
How long did it take for the problem to appear? I'm always on EDGE with Wi-Fi on (due to TMOUS' lousy coverage at my home) and I haven't had any problems.

It's happening on EDGE used as data connection: that means no WIFI.
The signal has to be low(problem doesn't occur if signal is correct) and the phone has to be switching very often between EDGE and 3G.
Then when it is in EDGE, the issue occurs.
If you try to switch off the screen, it takes screenshots(HOME combination with POWER button, normal behaviour since HOME button activates all the time).
If you put you finger on the HOME button, the flickering stops.
After a while, the buttons deactivate on their own and the touch screen works fine.
Then you can switch the screen off and then on the buttons are back.
after a while if you are in the same location the issue reappears(difficult to give you the exact frequency since it's linked to sognal force it depens on the place you are standing).
I was using a back cover at the beginning and it makes the issue more present, I suppose this is because of the reduction of signal that happens...
At home I have a great signal, then even if I force EDGE only I get no problem...

Tried to make the problem show up (select WCDMA only, let it connect and then switch to auto and let it drop to EDGE) and nothing happened. Also had a few "natural" 3G-2G drops with no problem. US phones could be different (different bands) though.
I have exactly the same problem.
It's happend only on edge, 2g mode.
That might be problem with more phones. People please check your mobiles, switching only on 2g(gsm) mode and turning off wifi.
My phone always gets mad when the single data packet is send.
Unfortunatly that makes phone unusable for me, in work i have only GSM coverage, the same in home. I can use internet only in the places where is WCDMA or wifi.
People better check your phones, nobody knows when phone may fail you if you'll be in GSM coverage only.

Well I just got my At&t Fuze like 3-4 days ago. For some reason it randomly loses connection to the network, so I can make call or use the internet. I'll have to go back to setting- communication to turn off my phone turn it back on then turn on the data connection. I'm really tiring of it happening over and over again. Does anyone else have this problem? And are there any ways to fix it? Thanks
No one has any idea??
Are you still running the stock ROM? If so, GET RID OF IT!!!!
In all seriousness: Have you installed any applications? Have you modified TouchFLO 3D? You can always try a hard reset and see if the problem persists.
It's possibly a problem with AT&T's network. I've noticed that my 3G speeds are incredibly slow lately and others on hofo have had this issue as well. I would advise you to wait it out.
forp me it says i get 3g,edge, or G and i will cant connect sometimes.
I also have this issue. Sometimes it happens after a soft reset or for no reason at all. It is easy to fix as i just turn data back on but I don't know why it is happening.
I actually tried a hard reset reset and it didn't work so then I brought it back to At&t and the guy there fixed it for me. He said it was because the data connection was off so then I thought maybe I accidentally turned it off, but the problem persist after.
Yes, I am still running under stock rom, I installed google map, beejive, and some other that I don't think will cause this problem. I am afraid to flash because I already have a lot of contact info set in and data and would have to re-do everything.
I was hoping maybe someone would have a solution for this. I don't think running on stock rom would cause this.....
Any help would be great. Thanks
I just flash it to NATF's rom and it's working really well right now. I hope the problem will not appear again. Again thanks for the rom NATF
I now get it often that there is a problem with the GPRS in your area. Also there are times that the phone is not even connected. It is getting to be a pain but will try calling AT&T and find out
Even after installing a new rom the problem still continue. I tried going into an At&t store and ask, but they have no clue. I don't have time to call 611 right now, but will update with what they say when I do. It starts to get really annoying....

It's probably a network issue.
Regarding flashing, I suggest you back up your contacts with outlook. Even if the problem has nothing to do with software, you're missing out quite a bit in terms of speed. Besides, you should back up your contacts regardless. Don't trust windows mobile too much
OK, sounds like I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. I think the only thing that's different for me is that when I lose the data connection, I also lose voice. The first time it happened, it said my SIM was unprovisioned. When I called customer service, they didn't know beyond checking for network outages in my area.
Fuze_tactic & Tribalmunky
I thing both of your problems -- intermittently dropping the data connection for Fuze_tactic, and intermittently dropping the voice and data connection for Tribalmunky -- could be caused by the Long Press End button setting. Go to Start/Settings/System/LongPressEndKey to see what I'm talking about. There is one setting for Airplane mode, which would kill voice and data, and another for killing just the data connection. Try changing the long end key press to Set Vibrate/Ringer and see if that cures your issue(s). If you are occasionally long pressing the end key, your should develop a problem with intermittently losing your ringer.

No, I've checked that. It happened once when it was just charging, no where near my hands or anything that could have pressed it. When it happens I can't make calls or reestablish data connections until I either go in the connections manager or soft reset.

Like tribalmunky said we were no where near the phone when it happens, but I follow your instruction and changed the long pressed key. I'll see if anything occurs. Thanks for the input tho.
Update:
I called At&t and from what tech support told is, their network is having problems, especially for users in Cali. They are in progress of fixing it, but no idea how long it is going to take. I guess the only thing we can do now is wait.

I've been having problems with this too (losing data and phone) and I'm in Seattle. Maybe if I call, AT&T will claim there are problems with the entire west coast.
I did the whole SPL and ROM flashing thing (ROMeOS) and the problem still persists. I chatted online with an AT&T guy and he said it was a known issue but no way to fix it yet.
If you're worried about your contacts, don't be. Use PPCPimBackup (I think I got it either here or at freewarepocketpc.net) and it can copy all of your contacts onto the storage card. It's free and I've used it prior to flashing a new ROM.
However, flashing ROMs do not work. The only fix is simply going to your communications settings, turning off Data, then turning it right back on. This will also be why some of your MMS pictures don't get sent out.
I still love this phone, just get annoyed with it at times. Even the available larger battery with cover only makes my phone last about two days opposed to one.

I am in NJ and have the same problem. It started about the time I loaded some screen lock software that requires a finger swipe to unlock the touch screen (navigation buttons always active) upon coming out of sleep mode. I just decided to live with it, I like the software. I merely click the data connection in settings, connections, data connection (it may indicate off or on, doesn't matter, it is actually off) and then click it on and everything works again. Mostly happens after charging overnight.
I have stock fuze and it keeps happening to me too. But whenever I reset my phone, I can connect to the internet. I don't think it's network related in my case. not sure though.
My HD7 worked without issue from the beginning of the year til around a month ago.
All of a sudden, my WiFi became extremely unreliable, sometimes taking an overly long time to recognise or connect to an obvious access point, sometimes finding none at all.
After I do manage to connect wirelessly, I see no speed increase in data transfer to suggest that the phone is even using the wireless link. Web pages sometimes load slower than over 3G. I had read that HD7s have trouble using certain WiFi protocols and adjusted accordingly, but the workaround was to no avail.
Additionally, once WiFi has been selected, I cannot switch it off. I am 'locked out' of the WiFi settings page. When I tap it in the menu it responds as if I've nudged it but it cannot load. The only solution is to remove the battery. On occasion, this stuck WiFi has also caused the capacitive buttons, camera and power switch to become inactive. Curiously, touch screen function seems unaffected.
I thought maybe this issue was tied to corrupt settings with my hub, but changing SSID / WEP key etc etc on my router hasn't fixed the problem, and connection to other open WiFi signals jam the phone just as badly.
I upgraded to Mango in the hope that a fresh OS update may 'rejig' my wireless settings into working, but again, no joy.
Anyone experienced anything similar? My final options seem to be factory reset the handset to see if that solves the issue, or return the handset to O2. (Both involve losing all my data, game saves, application data AND the recently delisted SW: Battle for Hoth permanently.)
Anyone got any other thoughts?
*EDIT* After a bit more research, I found that even when the phone has connected to a WiFi source, by turning Operator Data Service off, you can see that the WiFi service is in fact not doing anything.
I braved a factory reset, managed to whack WiFi on no problem, browser ran at appropriate speed, then everything crashed as per usual, I couldn't connect to the marketplace and had to pull the battery in order to use any of the capacitive buttons. I guess it was a hardware issue individual to my phone after all.
Guess I'll give O2 a ring sometime soon to sort a replacement. Not looking forward to losing all my game progress though it has to be said.
bro i m having the same exact problem havent find any solution yet i even tried to copy and replace the wifi files from another clean htc hd7 but useless when i upgraded to 7740 the wifi worked perfectly for 1 night only then at the morning it stopped working, everything else works great. my theory says that its not a hardware problem cz i used internet sharing which uses the wifi adapter (if i m right) so its a software I GUESS

I had the same problem as well, couldn't connect, got to the point where even the power button stopped responding. Hard resets would only help for a short time and enabling WIFI would never connect right and eventually get me back to the same problem. I then got a replacement device, but it's not much better, I still can't connect to any WIFI, but at least it's not freezing up on me. My solution thus far has been just to avoid turning on WIFI if at all possible, but it's far from a perfect workaround. I'm guessing it's the HTC WIFI driver that's got issues.
i got similar problem.. send phone to service problem was "circut board"
replaced working fine...
when i was using wifi my phone was freezing some menus stop working and i have to remove battery
Hello XDA, I have only just registered here but I have been an avid reader of the Desire S forums for a year ever since I got my phone. My phone has been playing up for some time and I've not let it bother me too much but now it's getting quite annoying. It is an unbranded Desire S btw. I have searched but haven't found anyone complaining of the same problem.
The problem is as such: I first noticed in my house the phone seems to lose signal quite easily, fair enough it's a big house, lots of walls, I can understand that - moving to another room usually resolves the issue. However, what's more concerning is I've noticed it drop from fine to nothing in the same place. Even stranger still, if there is an incoming call and I go to pick up the handset, 9 times out of 10 it will lose all signal. Now my gf thinks I keep hanging up on her...
EDIT after further testing, i have think I have found the root of the problem... If I turn the screen on (call or no call) after two seconds or less it will lose all signal whether I leave it at the lock screen or open it. I suspect the problem may be something to do with the kernel governor. I would be grateful if anyone has any insight into this rather frustrating problem
I tried flashing the latest radio (below) but this has not solved my issue.
For reference, I am running the following:
ROM: IceColdSandwich v8
HBOOT: 0.98.2000 ENG S-OFF
RADIO: 20.71.30.0833U_3831.17.00.16_M
NETWORK: ORANGE
errr, i dunno if it works for you but whenever i at home i switch my network to use only 2g as it is much stronger and i barely get/no 3g signal where i stay, but if i am out i switch that off to get 3g signal. give it a try.
hope it helps :-/
Thanks for your suggestion, I will try it for a while and see how things turn out. I have set in the Mobile Networks settings menu to use 2G only and also for my 'Home' profile in Tasker I have included change mobile data to 2G only.
How did you get on with this. I have the exact same issue with mine.
As well as the above, I have also turned off the power saver mode in the ROM Control menu. It seems to be running fine so far. I haven't tested each option individually yet to narrow down the solution but at least it's working.
I personally suspect the problem is to do with the power saver menu because I had enabled switch to 2G on screen off, so whenever I would turn the screen on it would restart the radio and switch to 3G.
Heyho,
about three weeks ago, my N5 suddenly lost it's signal over night and shows me "Emergency calls only" and it won't register into any network, just giving "Selected network unavailable".
When this occured my N5 had 4.4.2 stock ROM and rooted. I've unrooted it and updated to 4.4.4, but I still got the same problem.
Problem occurs with any simcard, while simcard works with other phones just fine.
Have deleted and reconfigured APN, but didn't make any difference.
I get a signal every few days, but I still can't receive text/calls or call/text anyone and my mobile data doesn't work.
I even tried to downgrade to 4.4, but that didn't solve my problem either...
I'm from Germany, but in New Zealand at the moment, so I really need my phone in case of emergencies and to stay in touch with family/friends.
I have been searching for a solution since it started, but have not been able to find anything that worked.
Sending it back to Google isn't an option right now because I am travelling.
I am really thankfull for any suggestions or if anyone knows how to fix this problem!
Cheers
Have you checked to make sure the network setting says 2g/3g/LTE preferred. Because I had this problem when it was switched to 2g only and was fixed by the above option
If the above fails trying going to your dialer and typing *#*#4636#*#*. Go into phone information and you should see a drop down box to select your network mode. Play around with those until you get a signal but you might not want to try CDMA options (WCDMA is ok) since you're on a GSM network.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
had exactly the same issue as you mentioned. Nexus 5 tends to lose network without any logical explanation and it tends to work at one place but stop showing network if you walk half a mile down the road (or may not show any network anywhere). Google has released an update in June in which they have updated the modem to solve the problem..given that I am in India and the June update was for India, Australia and Newzeland, it worked like a charm for me (all i had to do was flash the modem from twrp)..people as far away as netherlands have reported the modem to work for them..
NOTE: IF U INTEND TO FLASH THE LATEST MODEM, DO NOT FORGET TO TAKE A BACKUP OF YOUR CURRENT MODEM PRIOR TO FLASHING THE NEW ONE..
check your sim card. if you can, try someone elses.
Alright,
I've tried every thing again so far, but nothing seems to work.
Sitting in the library, I noticed that I get a signal, when connected to WiFi, which stays for 1-2 hours after disconnecting.
But I still can't make any calls or text and mobile data doesn't work though the APN is correctly configured and and data enabled.
I really hope to be able to solve this problem somehow, don't want to put aside my beloved N5 :/
_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Edit: Haven't found any solution so far and bought a new phone for the moment until I'm able to send it back to Google.
Might be an hardware issue and not software related.

hey kimpfimp... u r not alone .. ive had this problem for 2 months now .. .. i have a nexus 5 and i have this exact same problem .. leads me to believe maybe its software related .. started after lolipop .. havent been able to find a solution yet !
worst part is that it is happening on an Replacement device after i RMAd my first nexus for a power button problem !!
i hope its software related and can be fixed .. because google is now refusing to rma this as im now out of my warranty period !
Hi All,
I got the Lollipop 5.1 OTA 2 days ago and installed it - everything went smooth and the phone working fine...
But I noticed that if I reboot my router (or turn it off / on again) the Wifi don't reconnect unless I turn on the screen (the second I turn on the screen the wifi connect normally).
I didn't have this issue with Lollipop 5.0.1
P.S.
I know that this is happening because I have a led on my router telling me if any of my Wifi devices is connected or not. And to make sure I also entered the router settings to see if my phone is connected or not.
Anyone noticed that issue with the new lollipop 5.1 ?
Cheers,
I think that your problem is not switching off the router. The problem is when your phone goes to suspension (screen off) and then it drops the wifi off.
My Nexus 5 with 5.1 is doing the same

I've got some similar behaviour here, both when updated from 5.0, and with a fresh install from the factory images. When I arrive at a place with known WiFi, the phone only connects once I turned on the screen. After that, it stays connected until I move out of range and back again.
It's probably a matter of responsiveness/battery life. The more it polls for networks, the more battery it uses. It should connect, even with the screen off, within a few minutes.
That being said, I have my wifi set to always stay connected, and I've seen it not connected when I turned the screen on, then connect a couple seconds later. So, there's that. Curious how often it does that.

That's what I suspected. Sometimes, the waiting game works, but I've had my N5 lying on my desk – where it usually gets full WiFi bars – for about 40 minutes the other day, still it did not connect until I turned the screen on.
Edit: Just now, my phone disconnected from WiFi when the screen turned off, which leads me to believe that this is all caused by the WiFi sleep policy. Could it be that Google messed up something there?

My "research" has led me to believe this is the case.
Anything in terms of a workaround?
I came across those settings in the developer options (see screenshot), especially the "Always allow WiFi Roam Scans" looked promising. Been playing with them, but so far no luck.
Hi All,
exactly the same issues as yours guys are happening since I received the OTA 5.1 and installed it !
I Guess something messed up with this new update in regard of the wifi... as you mentioned.
If you come across a workaround or a confirmation from "Google" please share.
Cheers,
(With almost everyone nowadays having data ..it is difficult to notice such a behavior due to the fast wifi/data switching)
I have seen this happen as well. My battery graph will even show a missing area for WiFi indicating it turned itself on and off twice within a few hours and then stayed on after that.
Google just now released LMY47I, has anyone had a chance to see if that version fixes our problem? Once I'm off work (in about 8 hours), I'll give it a whirl and report back.

Could you please elaborate on that? I'm familiar with Tasker, but I can't think of a way of dealing with this, since I'm not sure what actually happens with the WiFi. The settings appear untouched.

I'm sorry, but my phone is now in the service center , and press that I do not remember specifically . The idea is that when you disable wifi, a time interval is forced to connect to a particular network . Look presence on the internet , here is full of instructions.

Google just now released LMY47I, has anyone had a chance to see if that version fixes our problem? Once I'm off work (in about 8 hours), I'll give it a whirl and report back.

Almost all of the changes on these different builds are SIM related for specific carriers.
LMY47I was only released to LGD821 devices with SIM cards from Indian and Australian carriers
Same problem here. I am slowly losing faith in Google. Get the frickin basics going guys!!!
Back to my 5.0.1 build.
I've gone back to 5.0.1, too. Pity, except for this I was pretty happy with 5.1. Maybe 5.1.1 will actually be usable.
Do you think it can be related to Issue 163350? code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=163350
I have just reported that, but I'm still trying to understand if it just happens to me or what.

I think the solution is "use vibrate mode on". Get your device to vibrate mod and test it.
I am waiting for your feedback.
