just wondering if anybody here has experienced issues with the phone application and if there is a fix available...I've had my desire z for almost a month now, and for some reason once I attempt a phone call, I can't press the end call button. Also, at times, when I get a phone call, no matter how many times I press "accept", it doesn't work....I don't know if this is a bug, because sometimes it works properly and other times, it won't....It also happens while screen is in power saver mode....if I get a call, I cant unlock the screen to answer a call....please HELP!!!
Are you rooted and running a custom rom?

This might not help you, but I had a problem very similar to this, and it turned out to be because of my screen protector. Don't ask me why, it was fine most of the time, but when I was receiving a call I couldn't answer it most of the time. Replacing the screen protector with a different type fixed the problem for me !
It's a long shot, but if you are using a screen protector, try peeling the bottom up and seeing if you can answer by pressing on the screen itself.
Hi guys...thanks for replying....
steviewevie...that sounds weird, but I'll give it a try, although it still doesn't answer my question on why it sometimes works, and other times it does not....thanks anyway...
utorrent....I'm not sure...how do I find out? I'm using the rom that originally came with the phone....you have any suggestions on which rom I should use to fix the problems?
Thanks guys!

Hi, I have a Vadophone branded Xperia that I have unlocked and it works fine most of the time. Sometimes (randonmly) however it does not come out of standby mode when I slide it open or press the power button. The phone still works as it I can still receive calls but the screen remains blank/off. I have to put it away for a while and then try pressing the power button again and sometimes the screen comes back on but sometimes it doesn't and I have to take out the battery to reset it. Its very annoying.
Does anyone else face the same problem and more importantly does anyone have a remedy to this problem? Thank you.
I get it. Just press the power button 3-4 times and it works
Hi ratchetclank,
I have tried it but unfortunately it does not work. Another friend of mine has the same Vodfone branded one and he has the exact same problem. Aparently the unbranded ones do not have this problem. Is there anything else that can be done? Thank you.
anyone found the fix to this problem??
Try with no oficial ROM
it culd be two things
1>Theres something wrong with the button-But as ur freind has the same problem i doubt this
2>Your rom is still the stock rom that came wih your phone.Flash a new rom.Like smaberg touch x10.And then see what happens!!
Cheers
Standby problem
Yeah, I have that same condition with him too, I use smaberg Touch X 10.1, but still have that problem, that happen meybe about 1 or 2 days once. please help, thanks before
Do you have SPB Mobile Shell 3 installed?
The amount of times I've had to hard reset this useless block of metal im supposed to call a phone, is ridiculous. sometimes I install certain apps, other times I dont.
At times where I've had SPB Mobile Shell installed, I get this problem. Times when I dont have it installed, I dont.
Hello,
For the last few days now my phone keeps randomly pushing the menu bottom for no reason!? I've tried several roms and I'm having the same issue. I have one of those expensive screen protectors on, but I don't think that is the issue. Sometimes all of the compasitive buttons lock up and I have to lock the screen and then unlock it for them to get back to working?

I have this same issue. I've done some research and it appears to be a hardware glitch that happens when you have low signal. I've seen some reports of people bringing up the issue with Sprint/Samsung and they will replace the phone. I haven't taken the time to try that yet, since it only happens very infrequently for me.
lol awesome, this started happening to me maybe 2-3 weeks ago and i had thought i sat down too hard on my phone and messing up the menu button. originally i thought i was able to replicate the problem just by holding the phone vertically and rocking it back and forth. i'm glad to see others are having this same issue (well not really glad, just relieved its not a hardware issue).
i am experiencing the same issues the OP is.. menu button randomly pressing itself and all buttons being locked up requiring a lock screen then unlock to get things back to working.

can you point me to the other reports of this issue?
Thanks guys. I just don't have the time to take in my phone in. I normally have about 3 or more bars of service and it was still locking up on me. it's getting really annoying. Maybe I can just call it in? Who knows? They always give me a hard time! If anyone finds a better solution please let me know. Thanks!
Hi,
The touch screen in my wildfire s is not responding properly. Sometimes while using the phone, some touch feature gets clicked automatically, for e.g. when I am using the camera, the home button gets clicked automatically and it comes to the home page or some time the search window pops up automatically from no where. Rooting the device or putting a custom rom din't help.
Please help me to know whether I need to change some hardware from the service center or does this prob has some soft fixes?? Any body else having the similar kinda prob??
//Bubun
I've had similar things happen on my Wildfire S, but only under 2 conditions:
1. When my fingers/ the screen are wet. It tends to think i've pressed every button on the screen.
2. When the phone is overheated.
So if it's either of those problems, the first one is common sense to fix (dry yo' hands). The second probably means you're using too much RAM. Use a task manager to see if you have any RAM hogs.. It's probably neither of those, but it's the best I can do.
I've had a couple wfs that had problems similar to the ones that you are having. I just took the phone back because it was under warranty. Touch screen problems is a hardware issue that can't be fixed by flashing a ROM but sometimes it can but it depends. In your situation I would take the phone back if its under warranty. Is your phone new? When did you start experiencing this problem? Hope this helps.

I don't think that is the case with me as sometimes it happens just after the restart of the phone also. Some time it stops responding completely. But when I lock the screen and unlock it again through the power button, it starts responding properly. Can be a hardware issue. Is changing the digitizer gonna help? (I dnt have much knowledge about the hardware though.. )

Please search the forum, you will see there is 90% chance that there is a solution to your problem, I had a similar issue and the link I posted below sorted it, and I was just about to order a digitiser from Ebay :

Hello,
I was looking through the XDA, but haven't found anything similar, so I hope somebody could have an idea what could it be.
First of all, phone is HTC One X-32GB International version.
Few days ago, I noticed that after some idle time, my HOX touch screen becomes unresponsive.At first, I didn't pay too much attention, because everything was fine after restar by power button, but problem continued to repeat.I thought it could be because of the heavy use, so I started to disable app by app but nothing changed.I restarted it several times after that and noticed that if I try side buttons, they show volume is going up and down when I press them.Also a big screen clock is normally working, so my next guess was that maybe a factory reset would solve the problem,but it didn't.
So what i shappenintg?
When I surf the net,or dialling numbers,or whatever else, everything works fine to the moment I stop touching it and leave it idle for a while.After few minutes, screen is unresponsive, doesn't matter if I put screenlock on or of.I can't even answer the call when it rings.Everything looks just as it should look,but is unresponsive.Except side buttons.Then again I have to restart it with long press power button.If I don't touch the screen after phone restarts, after minute or two it goes to unresponsive state again.
I hope somebody has idea what could or what should I do.
Thanks in advance
*update
Sometimes helps if I press power button...
*update 2
Now it's not helping any more if I press power button, seems that power button is not reacting at all sometimes, only if I hold him long enough to restart it.
In fact, now even restart is not helping.
I'm sorry, what ROM do you have? And do you have sweep2wake function on? 'cause I also have had problems with touch, when s2w was on, but I am not sure, what was the ROM that time...

It's a stock ROM-And sweep2wake is not on.
Have no idea what else to try.I tried to unlock bootloader,put CWM in because you can control it with buttons, made a backup of everything to USB, format everything, put everything back, but problem is still here.Now I also noticed that it has a delay when push power button for example when I press it screen goes off immidiately,but when I press it again, sometimes it takes 20 seconds just to turn screen on again.And of course, it still not reacting.
Now my last hope is that a ROM became corrupted somehow,so I will try to delete everything, and put some other ROM in.
Since, I am a noob, there will be a lot reading for me .
Everything wiped, unboxed ROM on, and a problem still persists.
Newest discovery:if I twist upper right corner a little bit, everything works fine.

Open up your phone and check the connector for the digitizer is properly connected, even remove it and blow into the connector to make sure there's no dust causing problems.
You can test the screen response before putting the back cover on again, its pretty easy and there are videos on YouTube showing how to remove the back, good luck.

I found some time to open it yesterday evening, and connectors are as they should be.I also tried to remove them, and blow them out, but no use.
Thank you anyway.
I think I will sell it like this for parts.
Hey there guys , I've been searching through the forum topics about my issue but so far I've found nothing close to my scenario.
A few months ago I bought my first HTC phone (M8). Its a great device for sure , despite the fact that I had to return it back twice.
First time it was a faulty microphone , so they sent me back a brand new device. Great isn't it ?
However recently I've noticed a few .... let me call them 'glitches' .
Let me give you some details on what I've experienced with the device:
Despite the issues that i'm going through ... the phone works great, but...
Sometimes the screen wont turn on when I'm receiving incoming calls (same goes for the alarm clock) but the phone is able to recognize touches - i've managed to pick up the call when I swiped the screen in the area where the "green" answer button appears .
The above issue doesnt happen so often but the thing that bothers me is the unlocking issue.
At first I thought that it was stuck or faulty power button.
When the phone is idle for some time and I pick it up and press the unlock button ... nothing seems to happen I've tried pressing it hard ... i've tried pressing it gently ... i've tried pressing it multiple times until the screen wakes up .
Same goes for motion launch unlocking .
When I use motion launch to unlock it the phone only gives me a vibration feedback ... and thats it until I try harder to bring the screen back to ''life'' .
(I can also press my security pattern buttons while the screen is dead and feel the phone vibrating , BUT NOT ALWAYS , sometimes is just .. dead )
I already sent the phone back describing the same problems and they just flashed the firmware , which did not fix any of the issues.
Stock Rom android 5.0.1 , not rooted
Soo what do you guys think? What can I do next .. is it android bug or a faulty unit ?
is it possible to be a sensor problem (proximity , accelerometer)
Already tried factory reset and dalvik cache wipe.
Any advice would be useful.
Thanks for taking your time .

I have the same issue. There are times it takes me hitting the power button 20 times for it to finally light up but I can press buttons with it black. The weird thing is it does it on every single ROM but I havent noticed it on Stock...maybe I'm not using stock enough to see. I'll probably throw stock on there today and take it into sprint and let them replace it.
I have the same problem whether it's on stock or custom ROM (KK or L). I am pretty sure this is a hardware problem. Unfortunately, my m8 is out of warranty so HTC won't fix it for free. I read it some where that it could be a faulty proximity switch so shining a light beam to the top part of the phone may wake up the screen. I haven't tried it yet because every time it happens, I don't have a flash light handy. It is an annoying problem to say the least.
When this happens, I pushed the power button, the volume up button, and swiping the screens. Eventually the screen would wake up and every thing works fine... until the next time.
Its a ****ing pain in the ass.
however none of the sensor reading apps report a faulty/stuck sensor.
the wors thing... I've already sent my phone for repair, describing the problems in details. .. and it took them a whole f*cking month to bring it back to me with no results.
I don't think they will replace it because its a problem that takes time to be experienced...and no one is going to wait for it to happen. ...
Any other ideas?
Should I wait for android 6.0 or should I try a custom rom too see if these problems presist.
Fml I love the phone but this is frustrating.
I have the same problem I think. I just bought an M8 on Ebay. I am S-off, unlocked and rooted, using the Viper Rom currently. I have also tried AICP, the stock Tmobile Rom and a few others. Same issue.
If I double tap, I feel the screen vibrate, but nothing comes on. Then, I keep pushing power button a few times. Sometimes it comes on and sometimes I am too impatient to wait, so I just hold power and volume up.
I also know that the phone internals come on, because after that vibration, I swipe up and push the screen a few times. Then, when I am fiddling with the power button and it does come on, I do see that there is an app already on the screen.
I think this is a rare issue, as I haven't even been able to find many posts regarding this. I may have to get a new one if this keeps going on so bad.

I am experiencing the exact same issue with my M8. I have seen a lot of people stating it may be a hardware fault related to heat and internals but something about how it reacts seems software related.
I really hope someone who has fixed or uncovered the reason comes forward. At this rate I may be switching back to a S4 LTE-A.

I think it IS hardware related. I was able to return that one and got another M8. No problems at all.
