Hi all,
a few days ago i saw a strange behaviour of my X1
If i push the on/off button the X1 starts the phone app and sometimes even the caroussel function of MS3.
I didn't install new apps or change reg keys.
The system was running almost perfect in the last months
After a hardreset yesterday i reconfigured my X1 and it seemed well for the moment. I turned the device on and off several times and it showed normal behaviour.
A few hours later (X1 was not in use) i pushed the on/off button and the problem was back again...
IMO the X1 acts like someone pushes the left silver button and sometimes the green tel button.
Has anyone an explanation for this?
Ideas for solving?
Thanks
Horst
one program I use on the X1 is called AE button Plus
it can remap all the hardware buttons on my X1, maybe you can try them and see if you can set the ON/OFF button from there, overriding your default action for a temp fix
Same problem here, after my xperia fall deep into the water!
I fixed this using s2u2
Thank you guys for the answers.
What i'm looking for is a reg key that changed or sth like that.
Unfortunately my knowledge about the registry isn't very good.
Perhaps one of the WM pros reads this and can give me an idea where to look...
Thanks

Hi all.
I have an O2 xdaIIi / Alpine with a camera problem. I am hoping that there is a patch or CAB file to fix it but I havent found it yet (yes I have tried searching the forums here and on Buzz's site)
The problem is that when I try to re-assign the camera button to 'none' in the button setup menu it works for a day or 2 and then reverts back to normal camera function. This may not seem too much of a problem but its a works unit and gets chucked in my pocket all day and all sorts of buttons get pressed accidentally. Also when I press the camera button accidentally, sometimes the whole device locks up and I have to reset it - pain in the arse at times especially when running tomtom and internet explorer at same time!
I have a Himalaya for personal use which I never have a problem with
Any ideas
Thanks
Isn't there an option to lock the keys when the device is on standby/unpowered? I have that on, so I've never really experienced any problems of this sort.
you have to go on \windows\autorun and remove a file called camera*.lnk
No the button lock setting makes no difference as that is on anyway but thanks.
Cant find this camera*.ink file either - any more clues as to where it is?
i'm sorry my english is too bad.... in the directory windows\autorun (taht is, auto execution on boot ) there a file called "camera detect.lnk"; this it assigns the function camera at the push-button of the pda.
on my qtek2020i i have assigned "none" to this button, but on reboot the camera returned; just i have removed this link and my camera is not more assigned at this button.
I hope that it is explained to me, salutes
This just started happening:
I restart my tilt. I push the power button and the display brightness gets brighter but the device does not turn off. I push it again, the device turns off but then I can't get it to turn back on without soft resetting! What the crap??!!
Any clue what is going on?
Thanks!
Alan
I am just a n00b, but it sounds like your power button got mapped to your brightness control somehow, and when the screen goes black, the device is not off, just brightness set to 0. When you soft reset, the unit just sets back to default. I am not proficient in mapping the buttons, but a quick search on the forum should help. I know that there are a lot of threads having to do with mapping keys.
Hi
I experience the same problem and strange enough after I downloaded a patch released by HTC for potential issue with blue tooth and the phone.
A soft reset does not solve the problem, instead a Sync with the PC (even not a full one) cure it for a period of 2-3 days.
I have the impression that it is more complicated than just a registry issue. For instance I can not run the TOM TOM any more.
The HTC support only suggested a hard reset that I did but for complicated reasons I was forced to restore a back up I had.
So I am still affected by this problem.
I did a hard reset and used spb backup to restore everything to the day prior. The last thing I remember installing was s2u2 0.99c which seems that it would mess with how the device responds to the power button. I'm going to post over there and see if there is a chance it was the culprit.
Alan
You have to disable directdraw in s2u2.

It was and is disabled at least according to s2u2 settings. I did notice that for me in 0.99c DPAD was enabled but did not work.
Hi all, i'm just after some help with AE button on my Diamond. I've done all the usual searches but to no avail.
I've installed AEB and setup 'long press of volume up' to turn display on/off. This is so i can save battery life when i'm using gps software without losing my current gps positions.
The problem i have is that the volume up button i've configured only works on the main today screen. Once i'm into a program it does not work.
Have i done something wrong maybe or is it just not possible?
Thanks friends.
Anyone?
How can I make AEButton work other than just in today screen?
- sorry i am desperate!
The new tilt sensor program GSEN has an option to turn the screen off when you put the phone face down. It'll solve your problem...
Hi,
When I don't use my diamond, after some seconds the screen just gets a bit darker but never disappears. the buttons don't seem to block ether...
In settings/system/advanced I changed first and second item to 30 en 40 seconds...
When I push the on/off button everything seems to be turned off...
What to do?
Thanks

So "Turn off device" doesn't work? What ROM are you using?
When I push the on/off button on the upper left edge of the diamond, the screen turns black and all buttons are turned off... just like it should..
I want the same thing to happen after (let's say) 30 seconds..
Now the screen gets a bit more "unclear" but never really trurns off.... (completely black...)
Hop you understand it better now.
Thanks
I think I understand. I'm trying to localize the problem. If, in the Power settings you set Turn off Device to 40s, it should do just that.
If it doesn't, there are two possiblities:
A program you installed won't let the device to turn off.
A bug in the ROM you are using.
Please note that the official ROMs don't have this problem, so if that's your case, perhaps you can give a list of the software you installed to see if we can identify the culprit.
I don't consider a hardware failure, as the hard button seems to be working.
I downloaded the HTC new rom version 1.93.404.1 NLD and installed it (Diamond works much better now)
Installed programms:
Tomtom
Data on the run
Nodata
TF3D config
Total commander
Spb Time
Advanced config
S2P
Sprite backup
That must be all I think
Thanks you for your kind help
Your reply rang a bell!!!
In Spd Timer there is a setting: "No sleep on timers"
It was checked.
I unchecked it and now everything seems to be OK...
I still need to study what the setting itself does
Thanks (helping without knowing it... must be great)

Glad I could point you in the right direction
when htc turn off automaticly for 30s or so does he woke up when i get messege, and does he turns off when i am on browser and if i went somwhere for a 2mins will it turns of although i am in browser?
Hi all, please can you help me with this!?
Firstly when my phone boots or is taken out of sleep mode it immediately activates voice record as if this button has been pressed. It then opens the dialler and types ‘EDFC’. If I open pocket word and then wake the phone up it also types ‘EDFC’ before doing the above.
My keyboard is not working and the only hardware buttons that function are the power button (only for a while), the camera button and the silver select button in the middle of the d-pad. The jog wheel and silver directional d-pad buttons occasionally come to life. The others don’t work (green call and red end buttons, ok, windows etc).
When I use the standard keyboard SIP on the screen the directional buttons and delete do not function?!
I’ve reverted to a stock ROM to make sure this isn’t the problem.
It appears as though my Kaiser thinks these buttons are being depressed, but I’ve checked them and they click normally and release when pressed (even though they don’t perform a function) so nothing is stuck down etc….
I’m going to use AE Buttons to try and unhinge the button functions for now, but it would be great if someone has any suggestions!!
Thanks in advance.
Update - AE Button won't unhinge the buttons or change their function to anything else (e.g. nothing). I can't stop this from happening every time the phone boots/wakes up!
Help!
Mine got the same symptoms last week except it opens quick something or other,and then the dialler dials 2547.The screen for my pin then comes up,which I can enter normally.Home screen fires up normally but the keyboard will not work or any buttons except the silver one in the middle.Searched a bit and this problem is very common although I cannot find a solution anywhere.Can someone please help
AE button didn't work?
When mine did that, I reset all the hardware buttons (not the keyboard, just the buttons reachable from the outside. A soft reset and viola!
That's the only solution I have. It's worked for me 2x.
Also try pulling the battery for 20 seconds or so and restarting. That has fixed my touchscreen not working after it gets spashed 3x. Yeah, my phone is old and abused, but keeps working.

Thanks for your replies - I've got Orange sending me another one in the morning now and sods law it's just stopped happening.... Taking the replacement anyway in case it happens again.
For my knowledge, how did you reset the buttons? I deleted some registry keys to completely stop them working (although I couldn't find the registry keys for the red and green buttons).
Searching on Google there are quite a few reports of this, but no one has ever posted the cause!
I am having the same problem... please help. My phone is going crazy. I did a hard reset but still didnt solve the problem....
I am also having this issue. Phone starts typing EDFC and then initiates the voice recorder. I reflashed various ROMs and regardless of what was flashed.. initially they appeared okay, then it started happening again. I also tried hard and soft resets. Nothng has worked so far.
I resorted to disabling the keys and some of the applications which I dont use which appear to be getting started/run (Voice recorder for one). So far I havent had the issue, knock on wood.
I think this is more than likely a hardware error. My tilt is actually pretty old so I wouldnt be surprised. If someone finds either the cause or a workable solution please post. Im trying to hold off until January when my contact expires to get a new HTC.
I searched and searched but found no solution for this and ended up getting the phone replaced.
HTC seemed to know nothing of such a problem....
Have you tried whacking it?!!?
Hope you get it sorted.

Hmm, yes, but I don't see how that helped my phone.
lol, all jokes aside, my friends, I ask in this thread as well,
what is causing this problem? I ran into this issue after ALL my buttons stopped working (except for the power).
I installed a new rom (I forget which one), and still nothing works except for power button.
It would be even better if someone knows the solution!
-Calling for Help-I'm still convinced it is a software/registry problem...
Okay, so there's no solution available for this weird problem of ours.
On the bright side, however, it is amazing that we can still use the phone, even after it requires servicing (some way or another). I have accepted this handicap that has been placed on my phone for now, simply hoping it will grow out of it one day.
But something isn't right. When I looked in the registry (trying to follow some directions I found within the wiki for when your keyboard STILL doesn't work properly), there was a discrepancy between what was supposed to be found in the registry and what was actually there. It wasn't that the values were wrong, it was the names of the values that were different. Why could this be?
Or even if you have moment of time, and you have an AT&T Tilt, and it works perfectly, maybe you could write up a run down of what you have hanging around in that section of the registry?
Hey, just so I can be sure, is there some place I can cross check what I have in my HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\HARDWARE\DEVICEMAP with what is supposed to be there in a fully functioning AT&T Tilt?
