When i upgraded to the tilt 2 I gave my fuze to my fiance. It was working great until a few days ago. she was having some issues with the touch screen regestering her touches. I fixed that with a hard reset. She was running the stock ATT rom at the time. after the hard reset it seemed to work better, but there was another problem i noticed afterwards.... the backlight for the screen does not turn off. whe i hit the power button to turn the screen off, the screen goes black, but the backlight stays on. I tried messing with the power settings, but that didn't work, so i tried the next option which was to do a clean install of a custom rom. I flashed the most current energy rom. did another hard reset after the flash, and still the backlight will not turn off. she is going through batteries real fast and i cant figure out what the cause is.... Afte hard resetting and re flashing, i can only assume this is a hardware issue. however I am out of warranty. I would really like to find a way to get this fixed, so she can use the phone. Unfortunately, if I can not fix theis problem SHE IS GOING TO MAKE ME BUY HER AN IPHONE!!!!!. please help me avoid turning her over to the dark side.
thanks
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.
My screen would not wake up, I flashed Cyanogen Mod, the latest version, but as soon as my screen goes off and I tried to wake it, it'll just stay in a lighted black screen forever, nothing happens, it wont wake or respond to buttons so I have to pull battery. It didn't happen on just this rom, I tried other roms as well. And same results, is it my phone or rom? I just got the phone today.
Which rom are you running? And did you flash a custom kernel?
Try a complete wipe and reflashing, but don't restore any apps, if you do, and see if the problem persists.

I was running the latest version of Cyanogenmod. And no, I did not flash a custom kernel. I've already tried a complete wipe and flashed the rom like so many times. Like Cyanogenmod would install, but as soon as I put the phone to sleep and I hit the home button to try to wake it, it would be stay as a lighted black screen. The phone is responding to the button but it seems like the screen would not go on, the light for the 4 buttons lights up, but the screen doesn't display anything, just backlight. Please help, this is confusing me.
Set the phone to not sleep, it will just dim the light to near 0% brightness. I used to have this problem too on some nightlies and stable cm releases even and doing the above worked for me. I also bumped minimum cpu speed to 500-800 instead of 300, which lagged too much imho.

You say you press the home button when you turn the screen off and the buttons light up? Or did you mean when you pressed the power button?
When I press on the power button to wake it up, it just gives me a black screen. However the buttons light up when I touch them just the screen wont display anything.

That happened to me once. Did you wipe "system" in CWM before installing the rom?
Same Issue
Did you ever find a fix for this problem? My G2x just stopped coming on and I never changed any settings or anything. I've wiped davlik & user data; installed stock and custom roms, but every time the screen turns off the power button fails to wake the phone up. No lights flash or anything. I've found others who have the same problem but I haven't discovered any solutions. I'm guessing this must be a hardware problem since the power button does work to initially turn on the device and lock it but can't wake it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I'm currently running a rooted stock rom with the v21y BB that's been ICS-ified

I've found this issue to exist of literally EVERY build of CM that I've every used on ANY android device. I can't stand it. I finally stopped flashing CM all together because I hate not being able to wake up my device. NO OTHER ROM has done this before. Doesn't matter the model. Here's all the models that exibit this behavior that I've tested with.
Kindle Fire - CM9, CM10 and CM10.1
Galaxy 7 tab 2 - CM10, CM10.1 and CM10.2
Samsung Epic 4g (Galaxy S1) - CM7, CM9, CM10, CM10,1
Galaxy S3 Sprint- CM10, CM10.1
Galaxy S4 Sprint - CM10, CM10.1 and now CM10.2
That's very interesting. CM... I ended up sending the phone to LG to fix. I have a GS2 now so I gave the phone to my father. It runs great now.
sulotion to screen not waking up on cyanogenmod
I was having the same problem on my Samsung Galaxy note 2. I'm running cyanogenmod 11. I solved the issue by going into setting then display and lights and unchecking proximity wakeup. I hope this can help someone else.
Thank you a lot man! I was really in panic mode.
Not Waking up
This problem started once I have upgraded to official Lollipop. When I press the power button, the screen doesn't wake-up immediately. I had to press many times the power button to get the screen comes.
When I first had froyo 2.2.1 and tried to used the auto rotation, the screen automatically rotated horizontally and then it didn't want to rotate again until I disable the option. Now that I have GB 2.3.6 when I enable it, it won't rotate until I do it manually, and when I do it, it rotates but doesn't want to rotate vertically again.
Is that normal?

No, it's not. I've not had an issue like that at all. Unfortunately I don't really have much knowledge on this issue. I wonder if a hard reset would help?
i had this issue on my G1.
First of all, android 1.0 didn't come with rotation capabilities, and then eventually when I got cupcake, 1.5, the rotation animation was an option, so i enabled it. Nothing worked, i would shake my phone for minutes trying to make it work. After upgrading to donut, same problem. I thought it just isn't for this phone. Then a friend of mine had the same phone, but he had the rotation working. Back then, i didn't even know what the hell rooting was, so i called tmo support and they told me to data wipe. It worked...
To properly wipe data, go to stock android recovery, hold the power button and volume buttons, this will get into recovery. THen, using the volume buttons, navigate to data wipe/reset or whatever it is called. Then press the power button. It might ask you to confirm. Then wipe.......
Have fun.
I have searched heavily for this issue and have not been able to find anything. If I have missed a post, please point me in the right direction.
I have a T-Mobile T959v that is completely stock Gingerbread. It has been carrier unlocked via NCK unlock code. Everything seems to work just fine on the phone. The problem is when I dial a number and press the call button on the screen, the dialer will swoop off to the left side of the screen and never return. The notification bar is still visible. The navigation buttons at the bottom all light up. The navigation buttons do not seem to work during this time. Even after the call is ended by the other party I have to pull the battery to get the screen back to normal and the navigation buttons work just fine until I press the send button when making another call.
I have installed a couple of new proximity sensors. - Did not fix the issue.
I have tried factory resets and clearing cache. - Did not fix the issue.
I have used the Heimdall One-Click to reflash the phone (did not reflash bootloader). - Did not fix the issue.
Anyone experience this before? Is there a solution? Are there any suggestions on what I might try?
That's very strange. I've never seen that before.
If you are willing to read and try, you could try upgrading to one of the ICS or JB custom ROMs here and see if that helps.

I had this before on stock Gingerbread, I just flashed up to ICS. It pissed me off.
