Hallo guys , i recently changed my broken htc sensation digitizer . I followed the instructions shown on youtube and i must confess it was not something difficult....unfortunately everything on screen works right excepto for the capasitive buttons on the bottom of the screen . I must try a lot to find the correct spot so as to press the home button or the back button etc...they work , but i should try a lot as i described to find the right spot...several times i cannot find it....is there something special i should do to make them work fluenlty ? How is it possible for the rest of the screen to work properly and the capasitive buttons not? Can anyone help me? Thanks in advance

Hello all any help with this would be appreciated.
The Soft keys on my Vox just don't work any more. When I press the start button there is a little bit of white and that's it. If I pull out the keyboard I can press start. Also I cannot use the navigational pad up or down but can use it to move left or right.
When I press 1 sometimes 12 shows up when I press 7 sometimes 78 shows up.
On the keyboard r gives me q, i gives me h, x gives me w, c gives me a.
Thanks much in advance for your help.
I have done multiple rom flashing from the shipped ones to those made others same result.

may you need to get right keyboard layout
and maybe your hw is damaged or flexcable jumped off connector.
check your keyboardmats and reflash original rom
Thanks for the reply.
How do I go about getting the right keyboard layout?
What's "hw" and how do I check my keyboard mats?
Sorry for all the questions just need to know what these things are and mean.
Thanks much once again in advance.

you can find it somwhere here in forum(link)
hw is hardware
check if your connectioncable from upper part of mobile to lower body is still right connectet.(or if it begins to get of its connector and if replug it)
First of all, is it even possible to assign soft keys to unlock the phone?
I've tried adding "WAKE_DROPPED" to "key 102 HOME" in "pyramid-keypad.kl" but the home button doesn't unlock the phone even after a restart. I've also tried pulling/pushing the file via adb in recovery mode.
Bumping...
My first post here (and unfortunately, not such a useful one), but here goes a soft bump from me too
Please... can someone shed some light on this? I just don't want to use the Home or Power button(s) to unlock my SGS2. Shake or Voice (LOL) or Soft Keys would be cool... B-)
Thanks in advance
EDIT: Oops, just realised it's a thread for HTC Sensation :dumb me:
There is a kernal mod out there I think for hd2 where you swipe the soft keys and will unlock and lock
Lol, hd2 doesn't have soft keys.
But you are.correct, its kernel mod. Show considered doing it but changed his.mind IIRC.

i want this feature too!!! anyone can enlighten us???
I had completely forgotten about this thread.. I found an app which allows you to unlock with the proximity sensor. But I haven't used it since starting this thread so I can't remember the name. I quit using it because it would unlock when I put it in my pocket.

^^ Haha yea, I can understand. It might have gotten more painful than a solution really. But, please interrogate your neurons... and try to recollect the name of the app. Please please please. Thanks
i can see that this mod would be kinda cool, however u realise that it would mean keeping the capacitive soft buttons powered on all the time ready for input, basiclly it would stop deep sleep and keep the soft keys draining the battery non stop...
Plz help me....

You already got an answer before.. stop creating multiple threads.
Flash AOKP, and enable navigation bar.
^^ aokp adds navigation button but does not disable hardware keys.
I think he needs to disable hardware buttons.

How did the problem occur in the first place? did you drop the phone? is the screen cracked/clean, did you press on the buttons too hard, did you have any water damage etc, there might be some fix for this.
^^ maybe a recalibration might work, but I have no idea how to do it on 9003. VolUp+Power button takes me to calibration menu on my spice mi-280.
I've been reading about these capacitive buttons being a huge battery drain for ICS roms for some time. Lot of people have been posting (in other forums) on ways to disable these keys to improve battery life. I might do it myself later on to see if it helps my battery life.

screen was clean, i use my phone gently...
no any water damage.
dont know how it happens..
but when it occurs first time the capacitive keys are disabled automatically..
after that i used button savior app and der is no any problm..
but after couple of weeks those capacitive buttons started working again nd problem of self activation also started...
hence i m now trying to cmpletly disable those capacitive buttuns..
i tried zip of nexus s galaxy s3 & galaxy s2 but didnt workd for my phone..
m tired now...
thanx for giving attention.
After reading a bit into this, I suggest something that might work.
Again emphasizing that try it at your own risk.
Go to /system/usr/keylayout/ and find file sec_touchscreen.kl.
Make a copy of this file as a backup.
Open this file as a text file in any text editor.
You'd see something like
key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
Edit it by adding a "#" symbol in front of both lines
#key 139 MENU VIRTUAL
#key 158 BACK VIRTUAL
This is similar to what is suggested for sgsII.
See if you wanna try it out.
Also, note, this will only disable those keys, not the key lights. We can work on that once this one is done.
Hope this works *fingers crossed*

i did as u say and the capacitive buttons r not working now but i m still unable to touch on the screen..
it sounds funny but when i m connecting my phone to my laptot with data cable touch on screen works fair..
but when screen gets off problm occurs..
by d way thanx for ur help i can use my phone atlst
Not able to touch on the screen? I didn't understand this problem?
I had the same problem, disansamble the phone, take apaprt the touchscreen with the display from the chassis(verry gentle, you will risk to separe the glass of the lcd from it's back wich can remain stick to the chassis, a good sollution is to heat a little the touch before doing the separation) and with a cutter cut about 1mm from the signal traces for those buttons, the signal traces are imprimed on to a palstic foil wich is sticked to the touch.
That's the way i solved the problem. Good Luck.

How about you flash a clean CM9? I'm guessing that you have an app that's interfering since you tried to fix your problem and plugging in the USB cable turns off that app.
i tried many Custom ROM MOD but still problematic, now i m tired.... time to get new phone..
thanx for ur help

Oh man sounds like you digitizer has gone bad. I've seen this a couple times. My friends Samsung and my daughters inspire has a dead spot. hope you can get it covered under insurance.

What Rom are you on? For a workaround for some things like notifications window, you can configure what your capacitive buttons can do (I.e. long press home button) to activate notifications.
Aside from that, I'm sorry to hear that you may have a failure in the phone

Sounds like the digitizer, but try flashing the ruu for your phone, if that doesn't help it time to send it of to HTC for repairs. It will be covered under the warranty.

Ok then. Go into your Viper Tweaks section. There at the bottom you'll find all of the various ways you can modify the Rom.
Select Buttons. From there you can see where you'll be able to change and customize what the capacitive (3 lit up buttons) will do. You can assign them from there.
Make sure if the tweak you perform needs to be updated (refresh button on top right side of tweaks window) or some changes require a quick reboot.
I looked and one option for you is to have a button long pressed to toggle the status bar.
Good luck

From what you pictures show.... the dead spot is opposite to the captivate buttons. All the tweeks on that are just for changing the button operation for ui.

Looks like your power button got hard sticked in "Pressed" condition.
Try removing the stock cover and check the functionality of button.
And button remapping will be working only when device in fully booted.

I don't think so dude because sometimes if I press the key repeatedly the key do works and I can feel the key being pressed. If I take my phone to service centre they will atleast take a week
It was a hardware prob...
I got my pcb replaced by servicecentre...
