I have the HTC One S 3uk version. Ive rooted and have super user access. The problem i have is when using the phone the bottom part of the screen were the menu button is stops responding (the part just above the home button) is there an update or fix for this thanxs.
Reverse it back to stock and if those buttons on touch screen are still unresponsive return the phone in order to get a new one, that's the only thing i can think of at the moment.
i had a post about this but no one responded i just have to lock my screen and when i unlock it again it's responsive . . it's really annoying cause the keypad i use the spacebars where the menu is and half the time i'm texting my space bar doesn't work cause of it and i'm unrooted on stock too so idk bro
im going to email htc and see what they say about it
Same problem here on a European version. The 3 buttons at the bottom freeze, my workaround is locking/unlocking.
It seems like one of the buttons decide to stay depressed, as on one occasion, after locking the phone, I discovered half a dozen of screen captures (Power + Home)
I had the problem before and after rooting the phone, don't have a clue of what triggers it.
here is a screen shot of the affected area and i will let you know what htc have said once i hear from them

Hello,
thanks for linking PulpZillas Thread. I wish to encourage anyone with symptoms like screenshots on SD and randomly misbehaving buttons, unresponsive buttons etc. to check that thread ExDr linked too. That problem has a name but many people seem to have difficulties to identify it and thus find the right thread to post to.
I had it once. Reboot and its gone. All is ok for now since last wednesday morning. It comes after rooting and unlocking bootloader.

Yeah, found it after posting, sorry for that.
I'm in China, bought the phone here only to discover last week it's a development model, so my complaint report will be immediately voided by HTC.
Will try anyway, just to be one voice stronger ;-)

Hi ppl. I have a problem(and I think,not just me) with Right arrow/way underneath the display. It is absolutely unresponsive very often,suddenly it works normally. It seems,that the touch sensitive surface has an unstable pressure threshold in this area. It is very annoying,so knows someone any solution? Thanks in advance.

I have exactly the same problem, really annoying it is. Cannot play games with a right arrow that works half the time
Try to blow in centre button.
try this, use left thumb to hit the right button. Its really annoying, it seems the left right cursor pad it too sensitive and must be pressed at the correct angle
I'm also having this problem.
Do you guys know if it's a hw problem or it can be fixed with one of the custom roms?
Thanks

No, I only found this thread. I didn't find anything in the wiki either.
Thanks for those links.
Oops! .. I thought it only happens with me, there might be some problem in my phone, as it felt down from 6 feets just after 2 days from the day I bought it.
well it's really annoying..
hope to get a solution. (I think the hardware button is not manufactured properly).. (I might be wrong )
I have the exact problem!!!
Does anyone knows where to buy a replacement keypad??? I have been searching for it for days now with no luck. and all I could find is this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120488502946&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:US:1123 and this one https://www.gsm4world.us/htc-touch-...rane-pcb-repair-d-03019_405.html#remote-tab-1 and both have the same price almost $50.00 for a couple of buttons. have anyone found it cheaper???
Have you tried the HTC debug tools to see if the navipad is registering touches in that area?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2511016
You'd be looking for the 'NavDbgTool.exe' in that zip. Just extract the whole zip to somewhere on your phone and run NavDbgTool. You should see some lines and dots moving around on your screen. If you are able to see the lines moving when you move your thumb, it would mean that your navipad is working just fine.
Try running this program when you're unable to press the left or right buttons and see if you get different results.
My guess is that the buttons are just fine, but where you are putting your finger isn't exactly where HTC thought it should go in order to actually 'press' the left or right buttons. If the sensors and underlying buttons weren't actually working, you wouldn't be able to press end call or back either.
Hope this helps!
If you are new to the phone try those suggestions above. If this has just recently started happening when the phone used to work fine, its broken. The capacitive sensor HTC put in is junk, I had mine break 2 times. Got it fixed through warranty. It is not a software issue, you can hard reset, change ROMs, etc. It won't fix it, it is physically broken, and you can confirm it with the NavDbgTool.
Hey guys, I was wondering what my options are at this point. One of the lights has stopped working...the button still works though. Will Costco/ATT replace the phone? I'm almost positive they will but does anyone know how long they take? I cant be without a phone for more than a day.

Yes they will replace it. This was seen on some of the first ones that came out. Just ask if they will just trade you a new one on the spot and make sure they let you turn it on to check for any other hardware defects.
Edit: this is assuming your hardware warranty is intact

Yes it is. Thanks! But I doubt they will give me a NEW one. Its been over 3 months.
Same thing happened to my AT&T HOX, It was working normaly then suddenly the recent apps light stopped, the button works perfectly tho...
I did factory reset, cache and davlink cache erase, changed rom and tried almost everything, the light started working again but dimmer, not as bright as home or back...
Today the home key backlight stopped working too (its like a virus spreading) and i got them to work after every reebot and when I answer a call but again, both backlights are dimmer than the original...
What did they say? could you replace the phone? Im still thinking its a software issue rather than hardware... maybe Im wrong!
Please if you find someway to fix it let me know! I will do so too!
Good luck!

No it was a hardware issue. Well at least that's what Costco said. I also factory resetted RUU'd and all that . They are amazing! After 90 days they still gave me a new one no questions asked!
EDIT: If your out of warranty (It hasn't been a year since the phone came out so that's not even possible but oh well) you can take the back off the phone and press the LED panel under the buttons down firmly and they start working again! I tried this on my new one (I know..i'm stupid )
This is a bit of a rant topic.
My phone case is one of those hard, yet bendy plastic cases.
Simple. $10 bucks. i think i grabbed it from a kiosk in a mall.
The case is a tight seal around my phone - as expected
however, through my 12 months of playing with the phone, taking the case on and off, hard reboots etc, my power button is officially unusable.
The button itself is stuck in the phone. it's as if it pressed it down and it never came back up.
This makes life with my One X very difficult.
turning the screen on and off is difficult. it's now extremely sensitive. just brushing the tip of my finger over the top of the phone turns the screen on and off multiple times.
I can't press and hold the button to bring up the reboot menu - although it does work sometimes (seems like the lower the phone's temp, the more likely it works)
Just makes life difficult. Sometimes a ROM needs a nice reboot, and it's near impossible for me to do so!
I've resorted to opening up a command line and giving it the ol' reboot command, but goddamn!
Im now officially waiting on the Nexus 5
Anyone else with similar experiences?
It's almost definitely caused by the cheap case you put on the phone. For rebooting, you could use an app called Quick Boot, it's a simple app which has options for rebooting (system/bootloader/recovery/power off).

hey bro, fix that button is pretty simple, also dissasembly the phone is like a joke... look...

Everytime I register 2 touch points on my screen especially when I do rapid typing the screen creates a line. I have screen shot but idk how to post it here. This problem is very annoying because I cannot type fast, it creates a problem with games and other function whenever I register 2 touch points. I also went back to the shop to isolate if the problem is just with my phone. The other phones also does this. You guys might want to try going to service menu *#*#7378423#*#* Then go to service test> touch screen, then try to rapidly tap both edges of your screen if it registers a line.

Does anyone have the same problem? I restored fctory 5 times already. Still the same. It's annoying. It's the first time I encountered this problem from all android phones I used from low end to high end.

no problem in mine
I have the same problem. However, it only registers a line if I tap at left and right edge fast and rapidly (almost simultaneous). It also happen in tapping at random position (e.g center) but not as often as tapping both edges. I have the problem of typing the keyboard too, which seems related.
Upgraded to newest firmware 16.0.B.2.1.3 but the problem persists.
Here's screenshots. Tapping at left-right edge rapidly vs center (see the dot differences)
my problems persist while fast typing, sometimes the letter doesn't appear...
Same problem :/
I have Sony xperia c and the touch pad is not working. Please guys help me fast. All hard keys are fine. Only I can't touch the screen means screen is not responding to my touch. Plz reply ASAP.
I used to have this problem too. Pressing two points close to each other will only register one touch and a discoloured point on the screen appeared, noticeable on white backgrounds. I sent it to Sony since it was under warranty, they told me they replaced the screen but the problem is still there, except the discolouration thing. Not worth escalating I think
Hello everyone!
I seem to have a big problem with my phone that I cannot figure out. I'm fairly good with phones and very good with PC, but this problem eludes me.
My Huawei H866C was working just fine yesterday until boom, system freeze. This happened numerous times and most of the time, all I was doing was looking around in the settings etc. My first gut reaction was to factory reset it.
So I did.
When it was done, the phone rebooted like it should, and there I found the "tutorial" screen.
I tap the green android and it proceeds to the next screen which has only one button labeled "Begin"
When I press begin, it immediately throws this error; The application SetupWizardEx (process com.huawei.setupwizardex) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
Well, needless to say, I've many dozens of times with no success.
I recall a similar incident with my sisters motorola droid bionic, in which after a reset the phone wanted some carrier info before it would load the home screen and let you use the phone. With that incident, I was able to bypass it by touching all 4 corners of the touchscreen. I can't find anything like that to bypass this tutorial nonsense.
I know that the phone isn't bricked, because I never rooted it. Furthermore, I can still bring up swype keyboard settings by holding the menu softkey. From there, I can click a web link in swype help and open the browser with no wifi connectivity. I can go through browser settings, and swype settings. When I first turn the phone back on, I can even use the slide-down menu briefly before it takes away my access.
I was really starting to like this phone until now.
Is there any way to bypass this annoying tutorial so I can use the phone? Otherwise, I'm afraid my money was wasted.
I have included some fairly low quality pictures to try and illustrate my problem.
ANY help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Well admins, you may as well delete this thread. It's helped no one, including myself. I'm just going to return the phone and get my money back..

And that's exactly what I did. My best advice? STAY AWAY FROM TRACFONE/NET10/Straight Talk at ALL costs! Sure, they give you cheap unlimited everything, but the phones are pure garbage. :good:
