Hello!
Is there any way to calibrate the bottom keys( home, back ... ). On my phone they seem to be misaligned. I need to press between the screen and the actual key. Otherwise the touchscreen is working properly. They worked fine before but now I don't know why they behave this way. I am using ARHD 6.6.3. But the problem remains even in the 4ext recovery. Any thoughts?
Don't think there is a way to calibrate them AFAIK. Still, seems like a very odd problem.
It is like the phone thinks that the buttons moved up for a few mm lol.. I tryed all kernels but it is the same.

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.

Hi,
I've flashed my phone (HTC Touch Pro) with Hardspl and then the latest Energy ROM.
Everything went perfectly and I was impressesd with how simple and easy it was and how much difference the ROM made to the phone.
Today, while using the camera, the screen went blank.
I tryed turning the phone off, pulling battery and a hard reset but its still the same.
Even after hard reset, the screen is blank but if i press the power button, on the second press, I get a flash of whats on the screen and then it goes blank again.
Should I try to reflash the phone again?
I've searched but not found the same issue
Thanks
The touch screen is still working and sometimes i can see the display, but its very dark and hard to read. Is the flex cable that needs changing?
Why would it stop working so suddenly?
Should i take it apart to reseat it?
Ok, I've found the same issue in a few other peoples phones but they seem to have beeen resolved by sendin the phone back under warantee.
I dont have that option unfortunatly so need to find a fix.
The only thing wrong with the phone is the screen backlight that suddenly failed
Can anyone help me or point me in the right direction please? I cant find a definite diagnosis anywhere
New Flex cable?
New Screen?
Pray?
Thanks
Back to stock SPL and stock ROM
Still no luck
Hey guys,
Oh i dunno whays happened. Everything worked fine yesterday then i went to sleep. Next day the side buttons stopped working. The touch screen still works but the side capacitive buttons stopped.
It doesnt even work when i boot into clockwork mod
I have so far tried:
Reboot did nothing
Put calibration.ini file in root directory
Put calibration.ini in sdcard2
Put calibration in sdcard root
Reboot
Didnt fix it.
I got it ebay as i live in australia so warranty may be difficult.
I am using button saviour to get by for now but until i can get the side buttons to work i can no longer navigate clockwork mod because the home button is the select button.
I'm usibg vegantab b5.1 at the moment.
Any help would be really appreciated!
BAM
If you haven't, you might want to try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=934500
Just tried it but still no joy. Looks like the side buttons are on a different touch interface to the rest of the screen. I guess it could be worse. Vegantab is a nice rom to be stuck on.
I wonder if there is a way to make clockwork mod work with a usb keyboard?
Woohoo! It's working again! Just in time for honeycomb too
I searched and searched for similar issues and finally read about either draining the battery or opening up to find the hidden reset button.
I opted to drain the battery.
Now I'm still not going to rubber stamp that draining the battery fixed it but when I did finally plug it in and fire it up I found the buttons worked again.
Another theory I have is that viewsonic might have some poor soldering. The reason I suggest that is because in Australia we've had some stinkin hot days here at 42degrees Celsius with high humidity. So it wouldn't surprise me for a dry solder to become temperamental under these conditions.
Anyways happy ending for now. Well hopefully it'll keep running until a reliable honeycomb rom turns up for gtab hey
I have encountered a similar problem. The side buttons stopped working after a few days of use. They do work sometimes randomly. Is there a reliable solution to this problem?
I tried calibration.ini, and the buttons worked once. They have stopped working again.
Hello,I bought a HTC Desire S around 4 months ago.
From past 2 days i have lot of problems with it.
1.Home screen button not working
2.Q,A keys are not working while typing(they work when i rotate the screen)
3.Wen i rotate the screen and start typing the whole keys on the least bottom dont work.
4.Sometimes if i press back key it goes to selection option...sometimes whole phone hangs.
5.Im not able to download from market...after i click download it shows downlading icon but it never starts download.
I made factory reset for couple of times but no use.
Any one have some suggestions?
numbers 1 to 4 seem like some sort of problem with your touchscreen... Have you tried wiping it with some clean cloth after breathing on it? My back button has some issues registering touches once in a while, but wiping it helps always
Regarding 5, I don't know really, but have you tried using the webmarket?

ya i tried wiping it but not working
Does the area where your Q and A keys are when in portrait work when the keyboard is not on? Can you use it to click items, scroll webpages etc?
One other thing you could try is the calibrate option for the keyboard. (somewhere in settings-> languages I think, it's been a while since I ran an Sense ROM).
If both yield no result, it sounds like a hardware issue to me, and you might be best of to invoke your warranty.
i think my phonne is fudged up, its in perfect conditon and has no cracks,neither did i drop the phone or anything.
yesterday all of a sudden my hardware buttons ( bottom 3 buttons), and the lower part of the screen stopped working completely,not even in twrp,meaning i cant swipe to flash there becuase its in the part of the screen that dosent work.
anyone has any idea what i can do? i tried disabling and enabling hardware buttons,and resetting of course.
is there anything i can flash through fastboot to maybe fix it? maybe touch firmware or something
pretty sure its a hardware problem though
it was very hot were i live,so i think maybe the heat ruined something inside the phone
Experiencing similar issues
I am having the same problem, though I think I am a little more fortunate than you in terms of the amount of the screen that is not responsive. For the timebeing, I turned on on-screen buttons and allowed a full 180 degree rotation, which allows the button functions to work if the screen is rotated. It at least makes the phone usable for now.
Any help would really be appreciated.
Cheers

I am having the same issue. I can't reflash anything as when I swipe in twrp, the bar only goes partway across the screen then just bounces back to the beginning. Been searching the web for hours trying to find a solution.
