Hello.
I've just installed Cyanogenmod 7 [NAND version] on my HTC HD mini (Photon) and everything seems nice, except one problem that doesn't basically let me use the phone. The front buttons (home, back, etc.) don't work. Meaning that I can't access anything basically. They light up and all, but are completely unresponsive when I press them. Other buttons (volume and power) work fine.
Is there any way to fix it? I really need help with this.
Button Savior in Google Play will display a floating software key panel on your screen and allow you to at least get by until you find the permanent fix. I have a Nook Color with CM7 and Button Savior is a must since the only key it has is the home button.

So just today I go to make a phone call (HTC P4000 - Canadian CDMA Titan) by hitting the button and nothing happened. I reboot, again nothing happened. I did not make any software changes or drop the phone at all yesterday. It just randomly stopped working. After further testing, the jog wheel works (along with the click on the jog wheel), the directional pad in the middle of buttons below screen (along with the click) works, and the power button on the side (to turn screen off, or hold to be prompted for reboot) works. Everything else does not: the IE and messaging button at the top above the screen, the 2 function keys below the screen, as well as the windows and OK button below that. ALSO along the sides of the phone all buttons do not work (comm manager, camera, voice record, ok.... power does work though keep in mind).
Does this sound like a physical issue or possible software or OS corruption of some sort? What is bizarre to me is that the OK button along the side works, yet the button right below it (comm manager) does not work. It would make sense that this button (the power) would be wired differently as it's more essential i suppose. What are your thoughts? Anything I should try or does this sound 100% like hardware... if it is that's ok cuz I have a warranty through my carrier for the entire length of my contract. Thanks for any tips or advice in advance!
have you tried a hard reset yet worked for me one time with those issues
Hey everybody, I've been having some trouble with my Nationite Midnite (Wits A81E).
My hardware buttons (softkeys) for back, menu, and home are broken. I have an app installed that lets me use a touchscreen button for them but the only one that actually works is the home screen button. What I want to try to do is edit the key mappings so that a long press of the functioning volume buttons could be assigned to back and menu. If anyone knows anything about this, please help me! Thanks in advance!

I've remapped some of the touch buttons to control buttons in emulators (ex: In a NES emulator, Search is A, Back is B.
The buttons work, however, when I press them they "disable" the screen and vice-versa. I'm thinking this is by design so you don't accidentally press a button while using the screen.
What I'm wondering is, does anyone know of a way to disable this?
I'm also trying to do it for SCUMMVM since many games are hard to play without right click. Right clicking is done by holding down the search button and then tapping the screen. And the Triumph only seems to let you use either the screen or the touch buttons, not both at the same time.
The phone is rooted by the way.
Thanks for any info!
Hi. Got Sidekick 4G a week ago and really like this phone so far, but there is one problem: system detects only 2 simultaneously pressed keys on qwerty-keyboard. Problem appears in 16-bit console games emulators, where I have to press 3 buttons at a time. Is that impossible on this device? It only detects 2 buttons and ignores 3rd press. I'm wondering, is this a hardware issue, or possibly could be fixed by firmware? I'm using GenericGinger 4.1
Thanks.

You're dealing with a hardware issue there.
The only other keys the device can register with two keys depressed are the hardware buttons that line the outside of the device (home, menu, jump, camera, and volume).
You can use this to your advantage.
One solution would be to map the back key to something else and map the back key where the jump key currently is.
That way, you will be able to press the trackpad and the (former) back key with your right thumb.
It's a huge tradeoff and I wouldn't do it, but it will provide a natural feeling game controller.
You could take it a step further and also remap the menu button as well..
Unfortunately, these new touchscreen phones do not have the d-pad the Danger Hiptop did. It sure makes designing software a pain in the ***.
It doesn't seems to be working either: when I'm holding two keys on qwerty keyboard and press Back key, nothing's nappening. So no matter what keys, only two keyspresses can be detected at a time. But thanks for reply anyway.
Hello guys!
Is there any way to scroll pages on my samsung galaxy s3 (cyanogen 4.2.2) using volume up/down buttons on my headset?
I have several readers which support scrolling(next page/previous page) via volume up/down buttons on the phone.
I installed Headset Droid app and tried to change my middle button to be volume up button(I am going to purchase two buttons headphones soon) but it doesnt work in readers. Instead of changing page in my reader, button changes the sound.
Probably there is a way to remap my middle button and volume button this way: volume button on my phone to be middle button on my headset and my middle button to be volume up button on my phone. I mean is there any program to remap and change places of buttons?
Sorry for bad explanation, but I hope you understood me.
P.S. So as you can see all I need is to control any reader without touching my phone screen. I will be honest: it could save my ass on exams I'd be glad for any help and could pay for it if you allow me(paypal, sorry but have no bitcoins((((
P.S. 2 Thank You!
!!!
SOLUTION
All you need is a pro version of Moon+ Reader: open the book, go settings, control settings(dont know right translation)) then headset button. (choose what you need)
