Need help from someone who have repaired this phone before - HTC Sensation

Alright, please dismiss my past thread as i was able to fix my phone up and the LCD and touch screen is working, though the home button and search buttons don't work anymore. I believe it's because I probably positioned them wrong since the first attempt had the search button working like a champ. Now my question is anyone who have opened thier phone before know how exactly do I position the home flex cables to they would work probably?

Right scroll wheel button not working?

After a soft-reset, the right button on the scroll wheel is simply not responding at all. I can still press left, up, down, and turn it both ways and it responds normally - but the right button is doing nothing.
I've tried many soft-resets, and I don't see how on earth a hard reset could help this at all, unless it really is some random registry entry that somehow got messed up.
I thought I'd ask here in case anyone knows of some obscure registry issue that could have caused this somehow. Otherwise, I guess I just have to accept the fact that I'll never again be able to use the right scroll wheel button.
Any suggestions or experiences with this? Or, if not, can anyone just tell me where to find this in the registry so I can check it myself?
Thanks, in advance.
I have the very same problem, right button not responds even if i boot android with haret.
Please help!
Should i take apart and clean, or what else?
Thanks!
I have the similar problem, d-pad left button almost dosent work.
I mast push it very hard to make it work.
I think it's a hardware problem.
any idea to fix this problem without changing another d-pad?
Hi,
I have the same problem, too. The right button from d-pad doesn't work. Since the button stopped working, I've tried more than one or two different ROMs. The result is the same.So all that means the problem isnt in the software. I think its hardware malfunction. I use this phone more than 3 years. May be its more than enough yo use it. I think your phones need nothing but repair

answer/end panel issue.

Hello guys, I have one raphael, and it started a very stupid issue, and this makes me crazy because in the principals times I need to use it, happens that the Panel wich have the answer button, the end button, the house and the back-arrow buttons also, and in the midle have the circular button, wich there are 4 mini arrows, (left,right,up,down), always I press the house and the answer buttons, it is working as left arrow, and the <- with the end button working as right arrow.
I always percepted it, but now it is happening all times, all times I need to press the answe button to go the phone it keeps working as the arrow, surfing on the tf3d.
I need the original configurations of the buttons, I cant persist with it, What should I do?
im pretty sure that bottom area gets messed up over time.
mine now only works with each area whenever it wants.
sometimes all work great.sometimes 3 do sometimes none.
my buddy had a fuze for about a week when the whole bottom panel stopped working for good
usually for me a soft reset helps
I made so much soft resets!
It doesnt work, do you think a hard reset?
What a hell could I do now?
oh my god
could anybody be helpful with me?
I'm needing this help
my fuze is stopping working as phone
that is not descriptive. what doesnt work
the panel
the four butttons on the panel
(house,back,call/answer, end)
It has started messing a long time, and now messed forever, I can make a soft reset than it keeps asking crazily these buttons, everytime as arrow left or arrow right
I need to configure the house as house
the phone(answer/call) as phone
the end call as end call!
basmareck, are you running a custom ROM?
I am running the official raphael's ROM, downloaded on the official website of HTC.
The error is in the panel, at the four buttons, the send/answer button is working as left arrow all the time.
It is messed up!
damnit!
no helps for me, its making me mad
its faulty. youve had it under a year right? get it fixed
Have you tried a hard reset or reflashing the stock rom? What about cleaning the panel? I believe there are only two buttons under that panel, one on the left and one on the right, and the function is dictated by the capacitative nature of it, so maybe it's dirty? I'd say if a hard reset or reflash doesn't fix it, try to seek a warranty exchange.
Also, are you using any programs that make the scroll whell work as something else like SensorScorll? That has a setting to enable touch so you wouldn't need to push down to use the arrows, maybe that got switched somehow to be persistant with everything? I'd give that a check too.

HTC TP2 touchscreen capability is gone

I have a huge situation with my Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 phone. A couple of weeks ago I found out I accidentally slept on top on my phone after waking up. I go to use my phone, but to find out the touch screen doesn't work, but it displays everything fine. At close inspection on the screen, I discovered a black dot. I guess that is where the pressure point was at. It looks like a pool of water. It grew to about two inch in length over the weeks. I can't do anything, but call and receive phone calls. I cant text people because I need to press send with my finger or stylus. Its like this for many applications. I need to press the bottom buttons on the screen to things. There are no keyboard shortcuts for these buttons. Is there a work around anybody know of?

You may be able to use a program to assign soft key functions to hardware functions (HButton for example), but your screen is busted. You could try to get it repaired (maybe buy a new digitizer from eBay and do it yourself if you know how to do it).
Good luck.
I believe the issue is what is called newton rings, which was a big problem with the TD2's. Here is a link to a thread that should explain it.

SAME EXACT THING JUST HAPPENED TO ME, AAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!

[Q] Motorola Cliq XT help with hardware problems.

I just bought a Motorola Cliq XT and it has a few hardware problems I was wondering if anyone could help me with or point me in the right direction for.
First off the power button does not work at all. I know that most of those buttons just ground the circuit for it to work so I am not seeing why this part is not working. With the meter it works correctly (the button that is) and I know there is some sort of transistor? or something in between the contact and the ground. I could not find a problem through the meter but I really just need it to work for a few seconds for reasons below.
The camera button is completely gone in it, and it is a 2stage button. I need it for reason below.
Still has previous owners data, to do a master reset I (obviously) have to press and hold the power and camera button. Is there another program I can use to do this or do I have to figure out a way to short those 2 contacts. Any information at all would help. Even a place in Dallas/Fort Worth area that can fix it would be nice. Thanks in advance.

[Q] Not-working screen, backup & fix?

I have not found the answer for my question anywhere on the net, so I will ask here, since this seems the place where people know what they are talking about regarding HTC Sensation.
Couple of days ago something went completely wrong with my Sensation. 1 moment im using it, no problem, put it in my pocket.
I get it out to use it again, screen doesnt respond AT ALL. I cannot unlock it by touch, I cannot turn if off (off button just puts the screen on 'sleep' and back again on 'locked'.) Volume buttons dont work.
I do keep getting all the messages, calls, whatever, I see everything happening, but cannot do anything.
As I learnt its either the digitzer that is done with it (why? nothing happen, it was just in my pocket, not hit, not wet, no cracks...), or its a software problem. (If someone have a idea what it is, you can jump in here and help me out).
But firstly, I would like to do a backup of all my stuff on the HTC. Ofcourse when I plug it in the PC it asks which mode it has to go in, tethering, usb device, sync, but I cannot choose this (touchscreen not working remember).
Is there some way to backup all my contacts, and stuff on the phone without being able to use it? The device is not rooted, so no nAndroid backup... (can I maybe to the root/nAndroid backup from the PC?)?
The thing with the 'pin' and contact in the cover doenst solve my issue, nor anything else I have found up until now. (Took also a look inside the phone, no connectors seem to be loose/broken..)
Any sort of help is very welcome since I do not really not where to start to fix this issue.

Yeah already had a look at this, this is the 'pin with contact to the back cover' I was referring to. This is not it I think (I tried already, nothing happened). But also in my case the phone doens't respond AT ALL on touch (in most cases that this method work, the response was bugging/late/blabla).
Nobody knows how to backup data from a not-rooted HTC Sensation with a non-working touchscreen??

Don't think its possible, unless perhaps you have USB debugging enabled already?
If you do then perhaps it's possible to do juponut bear S-off, install clockwork mod or something and do a nandroid if you get the key presses right... But you say the volume keys aren't functioning? So that might not work.
Ok so with nobody to help for over a month, I just decided to do some stuff.
First I replaced the digitizer, new digitzer, nothing changes. Same issues. Screen doesnt respond, volume buttons neither, nothing works, power button just gets it off the sleep mode. (In bootloader Volume buttons work...)
So second, unfortunately lost all my data now, I did the factory reset. Result: nothing changed! Screen still does not respond, volume buttons neither, power button just gets it off the sleep mode.
What is wrong with this phone? Why does it not work anymore? All of a sudden it stopped responding, and these nor digitzer nor software seem the issue. What is it then?
Please help me out!
