Need to know if anyone here with a Touch Pro device ever had the hardware keyboard just stop working. I cannot time when it will happen it varies. I can slide out the keyboard to respond to a message the backlight is on the all of a sudden after a little tyoing the light goes off and no key I press shows up. All of the screen keyboards work no issues. I have to do a soft reset to get it back. Today before it locked one of the keys I pressed was still in memory and I had rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr all over the screen. I had to take the pen and cancel the message but the keyboard was not working anymore.
I called Verizon they had me change my backlight setting thinking it was that but of course it did not. Now they are saying a device replacement...guess I should have gotten the insurance.
Is there any advice someone can offer me on this problem?
I've had this happen to me one or two times, and the times that I've had the problem I've fixed it but soft resetting. I've just brushed it off as one of the quirks, and I haven't worried about it since it hasn't happened in a while. If it continues to occur I guess I would see what you're carrier can do for you
Mine did that a mutliple of times. Same exact scenario. Since I upgraded to energyrom, hasnt done it once. If I had to take a guess, some glitch in the preloaded rom?
My back button is freaking out. It randomly presses and it sucks. I can't do much of anything on my phone because of it. Started happening last night and has lasted all through the day doing the same thing. Open an app and use it for a few seconds then it hammers the back button. (Or long presses it.) Doesn't matter which app, and sometimes no app, just the main screen.
Why is this happening? It had been working great. When I was on 2.3.2 it happened a couple of times and then quit. Now it won't stop. I've cleaned the screen several times. Wash my hands like crazy. Reboot, pulled battery...
happened to me after i restored apps with mybackup. i don't know if it was a specific app or something to do with mybackup. couldnt be bothered finding which app it was, so just factory reset to fix it.

I've seen that thread and tried to tighten screws but none were loose. I hoped to not reset...
The model working at The best buy store here has this issue bad. The back button simple doesn't work unless pressed extremely hard, enough to almost break the phone. The other 3 buttons work just fine though.
My back button is also less sensitive than the other buttons.
I can even use the phone with gloves, only the back button doesn't work.
I found one thread that said to turn off animation. I did but it didn't stop. It did seem to slow it down. Now it seems to have stopped for today.
i had this issue with my home button. it's a hardware issue not caused by any apps you've downloaded. you're going to have to call samsung and have them fix yours unfortunately. they won't send out a new one they require you to send yours in for repair and for them to ship it back out to you =/
my 1st ns had problem with back button with my second ns back button works great
Hi,
After switching from my old trusty Desire, I'm beginning to regret getting the One s!
Anyone else having reboot problems? Mine hard restarts at least twice a day even if left completely idle (as it just has having been on charge for the last hour).
Wifi - Stays connected to access-points long, long gone. Was connected to my home according to the settings screen 5 hours after I left home. Data then stops flowing. Solution is to turn off and back on wireless.
HTC gave me a rather poor response. I have exactly the same apps (bare the new sense) on the new phone as the old, less even.
Anyone else having the same issues? I guess it's a software issue, but I want to return it if it's a faulty handset.
Thanks.
I think you should do a factory reset and then try the phone for a day whithout doing any changes to it. If it still restarts you should really send it back.

i have exactly the same problem. sometimes my device reboots without doing nothing. i had this on my black device and on my grey device after i gave the black one back. i contacted htc and the woman at the chat support just said it is a software problem and i should do a factory reset. to do that i should remove the battery (lol). because of that i think htc-employees are really unqualified.
same issue with wifi here.it stays a few hour connected without any problem. then it disconnects and doesn't reconnect.only if i turn it off and on again.It doesn't appear evertime wifi is on but it is annoying.i hope htc will fix this soon

Certainly sounds like we have the same issues. let's hope HTC are listening and fix soon.
I have also some reboots. I think at least twice a week. And always when the phone is on standby. I hope also that htc will fix this soon =)
Not only with phones, but look at Windows or games, they also have bugs at start, but with time most of them get fixed
Mine also only reboots in standby. In my pocket, on the desk, etc. It's never done it during use, and I do use it a lot.
WiFi problem is noted. An annoyance, but no deal breaker as long as I have the WiFi toggle on the home screen. Guess it will be fixed when developers get their hands on the kernel source.
Had the phone for one week come Friday, and had one shutdown (not reboot) this far, and that happened as I was surfing multiple tabs in dolphin. Guess the phone ran out of operating space and had to clean itself out in a bad way
Got mine today so will let you know.
Sent from my HTC One S using XDA
Had the same reboot issue since 2 days (at least once a day). I have the phone since 10 days. The last program I installed was "adfree". I couldn't use it as I have no root rights yet but didn't uninstall it. Finally I uninstalled it yesterday and no more self reboot since. Hope this helps.
I've had the reboot problem on several occasions. Twice the 'One S' has even got stuck in a reboot loop (after login the phone restarts as soon as I try to start an app or report the error). This problem seems to be related to some problematic app running in the background constantly restarting itself and not the actual phone or ICS.
SOLUTION (worked for me):
1) Reboot the phone.
2) When 'HTC One S splash screen' appears hold down 'volume down' to enter safe mode. (Note: If you hold 'volume down' while powering on the device you may end up in a different mode. Don't panic just choose 'reboot' or 'power down' by navigating with power button and volume buttons and try again.)
3) The text "Safe mode" will appear in the lower left corner of the screen.
4) Login and uninstall any app that may be causing problems. Reboot the phone and see if the problem has disappeared, if not repeat 1-4.
Hope it helps!
Just wanted to update this thread on my reboot problem. Since the OTA update the other day, I've not had a single reboot, yet. The wifi connection / disconnection problem seems gone as well.
this is happening to me as well. Once I turn on wifi/ wifi calling the phone searches for a network then freezes up and reboots.. it keeps rebooting until I turn off wifi. This all started for me when I got the OTA 1.78 update. No idea how to fix it. blah!
That's odd. I can confirm that since the update (more than a week now?), I've had only 1 reboot whilst in 'Dolphin'. I was getting them at least daily before even when not using the phone. It's reboot in standby. All my wifi issues have gone. Wifi now seems to work perfectly.
I use the phone quite heavily. I'm pretty convinced that the update has fixed or at least significantly improved the issues I was experiencing. Let's hope it didn't break thinks for others who were not having the issues in the first place!
<oh, and btw - I do use internet calling (only in the last week though since the update)>
I have a Huawei G510, at first I had it with stock ROM and it was sick, too slow and problems with microphone etc...
I installed a new ROM that was clean and runs smooth, after 2 weeks my phone started pressing menu or home buttons by itself sometimes, the problem kept occurring from time to time and I factory reset it everything became fine. after several days the problem appeared again without stopping as soon as I unlock it it starts pressing home,back,menu buttons by itself. I tried another ROM(cyanogen 10.1 android 4.2) and the problem still occurs even with nothing installed on my phone, didn't even set up GMAIL yet, after that the buttons stopped working at all, I downloaded a softkey app and after 1 day the problem appeared again. It is really annoying i've tried everything I can but it seems to be a hardware software, I'd like to stop the buttons from functioning if it's possible and use the softkeys app.
Hello guys,
This is not necessarily a specific S8 plus thread, it's more of a software/hardware general related issue. I just replaced my display two weeks ago because I cracked the screen and the display a while ago.
After replacement, I got the phone, everything was good until I dialed *#0*# and started testing the touch. It appears that theres a portion in the middle of the display that is not working (the boxes wont go green when touching them). The thing is that, sometimes, the touch passes this test as in everything is ok and sometimes, it fails.
From time to time(pretty frequent) it randomly freezes and I have to hit the power button to open and close the screen to make it work again.
I just flashed the android Pie hoping a complete erase would fix the thing but it appears it didn't. Do you guys know any solution to my issue besides returning the phone in the service?
Thanks!
