So ive got an Excalibur with NRG's 6.5 build ROM installed
96DPI installed.
ET9 English installed in case it wasnt already.
But the whole time, I can't get functionality out of my Send (Green Phone) Key or my Home key. Now, i thought the keys might have gone out on the phone cuz theyre in the same area and maybe something happend. But... i tried to see if i get any response when pressing these keys through re-keying in buttons for PocketNester Controls. It DID recognize immediately when i pressed both the send key and the home key each. So i know the keys have contact/response, whatever. But I scroll to a contact and hit SEND... nothing. Hit the HOME key at any time and it doesn't send me anywhere.
Any suggestions? I have another dash that is broken and i dissected it a while ago and have some parts if need to swap or check anything, that is possible... but where to start troubleshooting from here?
Thanks for any light you can shed on my issue!!
try flashing to a new rom like ookba's 6.5 and see if you still have the problem, if so change the keyboard pcb

hi guys , i know this might seem a strange question but like most my stylus is loose in the holder and i sometimes need to use the keyboard to do most things on the unit and i cant find anywhere that activates the start option on the screen. I have done it by accident once but nothing since. i have checked the manual and it mentions it no where all operations seem to be around the stylus?
does anyone know what key combination it is ?
I have a 02 phone and unlike tmobile which has a one of the 4 buttons on front setup to do this as one of the defaults.
cheers in advance
It should be ctrl+escape on a full keyboard. It might also be enabled by the windows or context menu keys, not sure what your keyboard looks like.
You can use my VJKeypress to get this as well. I think it's keycode 91, not sure, check my website.

Why not assign one of the hardware buttons to do this, each one can have a duel function assigned either a tap or hold, according to the phone, in reality this doesn't work (unless anyone knows different - latest O2 ROM - not messed around with), whatever you set for a tap is also carried accross to the hold function, go to settings and locate the power buttons icon select it, then select the button you want (ok for example) then assign the <Start Menu> from the drop down box, press OK, the device might want a soft reset (mine did when I just tried this), when it comes back up hit the assigned button, and use the four way thumb control to navigate through the menus, it saves sliding out the keyboard and it becoming loose - Mike
cheers for this when i tried to reassign buttons before like the camera it wouldnt let me change them ..i hate the camera button getting accidently caught same as the record one as well.
cheers for the advance will do that would just like to know for my own peace of mind as well how to use the keyboard to do it, it should be possible.
The keyboard on my TP2 (Verizon) intermittently stops working (no key press registers, however the buttons on the face of the phone still do). After soft reset it works again. This is with different ROMs. I'm thinking, perhaps, there is a loose connection internally. It also has odd crashes, but this might only be a ROM problem as it is much less pronounced with the latest ROM I'm using (Elite team ROM).
Diagnosis? I'm reluctant to send it into Verizon for just this, as its only occasional. Wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing
I'm having this same exact issue. I'm using the latest ROM from HTC. Sometimes when I open the keyboard in an app, like texting or email, the keyboard is genreally non-responsive. When it's in this state, the enter key goes to windows Apps but all other keys failed to work. I also test by pushing the FN to see if the FN light tunrs on.
What's strange with mine is the keyboard will work when it's open like for phone use, but when open with an app like text/email/bing, it doesn't...
Like previous poster, not sure if hardware ro what...
This may not have anything to do with your problem, but..
I have the PTT button on my tilt2. I have a case that wasn't designed to encompass that button, so it gets covered up (I had a find time finding a case that did actually fit!)
I have the PTT button assigned to do nothing, but with it being pressed down, it makes my keyboard non-responsive as well as disabling the arrows keys on my touchscreen. It will however work for a while after restarting my phone, but it always goes back to the same thing.

Thank you very much for posting this. I do have the same exact setup, I have the PTT button unassigned and I too have a cover that covers it. So maybe it's pressing it down causing the problem.
I hope this is it and really appreciate your post...
UPDATE:
Sweet, I just checked things out. removed the cover and it would the keyboard doesn't go non-responsive when I push the PPT button, and works when I don't...
By George, I think you got it!!!!
GREAT!!!!
My phone backs up and resets overnight, and I woke up this morning to check email etc and noticed that the 4 hard keys on the front of the phone were all acting funny.. End key doesn't beep, send key didn't open the dialer, Okay button didn't close the current window.. then I found the PTT key didn't do anything either.. However, the Windows key DOES!
Hosed around for a while, launched AEButtonPlus to check it out, reset a few times, yanked the battery, etc.... Nothing. So I went back into AEButtonPlus to see what happens if I add a button and hit the Phone button and it pops up 00ED. Weird.. So I went looking into the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys entries, looks fine as far as I can tell... Got curious and launched the Buttons preference, looks okay in there, except strangely the last screen for holding the End button has *no* selection, normally it has the two radio options, with more radio options below the second one, none selected..
So then I exit back out of the Buttons apps and are hosing around and find the buttons are magically working again. Soft reset, etc, all is fine!?
AEButtonsPlus got confused?? Nope, at some point I removed it from Startup and soft reset, was the same. And now that it's working again, all my settings in it are fine.
I am using QuickMenu attached to the Win key, so perhaps why that kept working?
Very strange.. At least it's back now, and I (think?) I know a workaround if it happens again, launch the Buttons preference.
This ever happened to anyone else?
same problemo

Yours fixed by launching the buttons setting? I don't know if that's what fixed it, but it seems like it went away after that, perhaps a few more soft resets.
I apologize if this is in the incorrect area, but I was able to put 2.1 eclair on my HTC Fuze with no problem and have been searching around trying to resolve an issue.
Basically I was trying to import contacts from the sim card and couldn't figure it out. On another forum they said I was to press the "menu" button and it would bring up a selection box to give some options to allow an import.
So I go to the phone and get to the contact page, but there is no way to pull up the "menu" as far as I can tell. I tried all the physical buttons and holding on many spots on the screen with no luck.
Does anyone have any ideas or is this something I should be avoiding since this is so new?

HTC Fuze (AT&T)
The menu button is the HOME button on htc fuze just the little house sometimes u have to press it twice or trice because the capacitive drivers arent working properly
Apologies!
Right after I wrote the response I figured that out. Thanks for the quick reply.
on my tp2 i have the energy rom installed and set keyboardconfig to set the send key when held to go to a task manager the vol keys to scroll and hold to change volume but the send key just stopped working. it feels like im chacing problems round in circles with this phone where its one thing after another. i have advance config to have most things set to "recommended" re performance bu re the send key i disabled the kbdconfig and set "buttons" as none so theres no chance of a conflict but it just wont work. the best i got was sitting it for 5 mins without the battery in one time and it worked on a restart for a while. is there anything i have set wrong that im just not seeing?
im not getting to the bottom of this in fact the problem is worsening. menu and back key no longer do what theyre supposed to and they dont register in kbdconfig either. only the hangup button functions. i have tried memmaid in case it picked up a bad registry entry or something but nothing. Please help someone i am at a loss as to what else to try.
