[HTC EVO 3D] xenx:
The problem is that Samsung's international support is better than for their US products. Whether this is squarely on Samsung's shoulders is up for debate. They at least appear to be trying to appeal to the mod scene and with more than just words. I like their AMOLED screen, but I like the high res of the Evo 3d. They both look like great phones, but the Evo 3d got here first.
[HTC EVO 3D] LostRib:
I guess I'll just go for it. It does look like there are some issues, but of course you always hear more from the people with problems than those who are content. Plus HTC looks like it has been receptive to fixing problems.
[HTC EVO 3D] Jeremiah239:
Buy the E3D and if you don't like it you have 30 days to exchange it.
[HTC EVO 3D] gqstatus0685:
You do realize that Samsung has provided the CyanogenMod team with SGS2's? That means that Cyanogen will most likely use that phone as the base for his ROM.

Samsung is loosening up their hold on their phones and the specs on the SGS2 phone are sick. I'm holding off for that phone instead because I won't use 3D as I already get migraines.

I'll wait for the next best thing.
[HTC EVO 3D] LostRib:
And always be waiting? If sprint came and said officially the within was coming on july 24th, and samsung would give better updates than it did with the epic. I would wait. But is the galaxy s 2 (within) going to be significantly better than the 3D?

I've been noticing recently that my hardware buttons have been acting up, sometimes it dosent respond or sometimes it registers two presses. My contracts up next April so not in warranty but have insurance. I'm using rcmix s, could it be a rom bug or is my desires hardware buttons malfunctioning

I notice the same behavior with my hardware buttons. I Bought my HTC Desire in April 2010.

I first thought it was software related, but after flashing different roms with full wipe the problem still exits.

Here in Germany the warranty is 2 years, so I think I will send it to repair soon.
[Desire General] Aitese:
If I send it back for repair would they repair the buttons and send me back the same phone? I'm not keen to have mine replaced with an SLCD screen.
[Desire General] Nitin985:
I'll leave it until my summer holidays and then return my phone, in the meanwhile I'll try some different roms, I think it might have been because I took my invisishield off and then dropped my phone face first but that was a week ago it only started acting up yesterday

Hi,

Search on ebay for

HTC Desire Optical trackball and keypad membrane,

Buy it.

Search for HTC Desire repairs on ebay and watch the guide for taking your Desire to bits.

Take a deep breath and get your tools out and fit the new bit.

Phone back to like when it was new.

Job done!
[Desire General] Jasand:
My volume down button is a pain to use, but if I get it right it still works. All the other buttons are ok but the menu and back buttons have lost some coating to them.
[Desire General] lysergic:
Same problem here. I've had mine for about 15 months. I just upgraded to a Sensation, but I'd love to keep that around as a spare phone.

I wonder if it's a "user-fixable" problem...
[Desire General] revthanki:
Hey there Tes (remember you were one of the earliest Desire users on this board)!

I'm also concerned about sending back my beautiful AMOLED desire and getting an SLCD pig back. The other concern is rootability, can the new Desires be easily rooted?
[Desire General] PlanDreaM:
Bump it.Same problem, buttons are failing.
[Desire General] mboerman:
two week ago this problem started on my phone. The home button isnt working very good anymore. and the volume down is buggy to. Is it possible to be an software issue? or is this always a hardware fault?
[Desire General] Jasand:
Always a hardware fault
[Desire General] olly2009:
Weird, same thing happened to me two weeks ago. Home button and back button fail to respond at times. Thought was a ROM issue ( using insert coin ). Got my phone in April 2010, was the life expectancy of the hardware buttons 15 months ?
[Desire General] Deeco7:
I wouldn't bet on it, even with a written notice they will somewhat change the LCD.
[Desire General] bigdan35:
My volume down button has been dodgy since I got the phone, and recently my home button has become rather temperamental. I've not once thought it was a software problem though, its obviously hardware.

Most of us here use these phones day in day out relentlessly, so obviously the buttons aren't going to be as responsive as we would like!

Its a huge inconvenience though :(

[Desire General] Chaosz-X:
The 'volume-down'-button started to fail about a month ago. It worked, but often I had to press it twice before it did something. About a week ago it got even worse, and the 'volume-up'-button also fails now!

I sent it for repair three days ago, they said it will take between 3 and 5 weeks :(
[Desire General] niksha89:
my volume down button started slacking badly, it responded to every third press or to really hard ones...

I removed root and s-off via ruu, sent it on guaranty repair, and got it back 10 days later. its working fine now, paper said they replaced "flex grid".

there is a rule in my country that if they dont repair it in 15 days they have to give you new device, so check your local laws and guaranty papers.

same problem

same problem on my desire... about 14 month of life...
[Desire General] iammodo:
Not having a desire but experience with a lot of other phones.

The problem could be liquid damage. ( keep reading)

A small amount of sweat or liquid in the air can damage dome sheet based buttons.

So if the desire buttons are dome buttons give them a quick clean with some ipa and they should work fine.

I've same problem... Home, back and vol- buttons don't work well. Vol- is permanently bad-working button, but home and back work well while temperature of phone isn't high. It starts after approximately 8 month after buying device.
[Desire General] dragonithe:
Same thing here.

My volume buttons are starting to wear out, my desire is about 14 months into it's live.

However I don't have warranty anymore because some time ago I had problems with my power button that didn't respond or keeping the screen on. And at the service center they detected water damage (they still repaired the phone though).

i am having the same problem also. its happening with the back button and the menu button. i dont think i've ever really used the trackpad so thats probably ok. i guess thats why they changed the buttons to "touch" buttons on the HD

I had to send my desire back last year sometime for a GPS Problem. It came back with a new mobo. and PVT4 which at the time was a bugger to Root and S=off.

Got the same problem as others on here with keys not responding. Mainly the back key so may send it off again or wait until contract end in Feb 2012 :)
[Desire General] hudl:
First, it's for shure no software problem! I'm shure it's related to dirt particles under the buttons. I had the same problem with multiple electronic devices (also phones) and in every case i was able to revive the buttons with WD40.

Spray a little bit between the buttons, wiggle them a bit and they will react like new ones.

Of course it's better to send the phone in for warranty, but if you are not able for whatever reason, you can try this.

Disclaimer: I take no responsibility for damages when using this method!!
[Desire General] Pyr0wl:
How about the warranty? If you, for some reason, need to send your phone to HTC, won't they reply with "sorry, water damage (or something else) - we can't/won't cover that" or something like that?
[Desire General] hudl:
WD40 is not water... it is a water-displacement! (as described in Wikipedia - no electronic parts are harmed when using it and no short-circuit!). It cleans and lubrify things. But spray really just a little bit on the buttons. Try it elsewhere to get the feeling for the pressure you need.

Of course, as I stated, if you have warranty, DON'T do that! Send your phone to repair first!

But I'm sure this will fix the old buttons though...
[Desire General] vnvman:
I have volume rocker driving me nuts: i have to hit it a few times before it works, and that's pretty damn annoying during phone calls...
[Desire General] Jasand:
WD40! are you mad.

No thanks, the repair center will find any excuse not to repair it and if they get a hint of anything wet regardless of what it is they will send it straight back to you. I'd rather open the unit up and clean the terminals myself.

The volume down button is a pain in the arse for me.
[Desire General] iammodo:
Someone tried bringing a phone smelling of wd40 to me I told him to smeg off.

he sprayed loads and it got onto the LCD (His slide stopped working)

Best thing is to dribble ipa not wd40 to clean it.

Better then that take it to a repair centre and pay a little bit.

Sent from my Tablet
[Desire General] hudl:
Please read what I wrote guys! If you have warranty, DON'T use WD40! I also wrote to just use a LITTLE bit on the buttons and to be careful - don't bath your phone in WD40! tststs...

I just told you what worked for me on other devices (my camera and HTC Tornado phone). You think if you open the phone, no one will recoginze it? Both solutions have only to be done if you tried everything else - on first place send it in to repair. And one thing more: I also opened my old HTC and cleaned it but without any effect. Only WD40 got it working again.

That's my experience.

Same problem here. Home, menu and back buttons don't work properly. I used Rcmix s rom and tried my nandroid backup from original rom. Problem still exists.

Now I reverted my phone back to old unrooted official rom with old 0.83 bootloader, and problem still exists.

Well, now I will take my phone to repair becous I still have warranty :) hopefully they fix it for free and there is no moisture damage.

[EDIT]

I receaved my phone today from repair.

At the repair they connected flex connector, I think it's related to buttons somehow, and cleaned something. I'm not yet fullu sure is it working 100% correctly becouse I think there is still little response issues :I
[HTC EVO 3D] hkkenchoi:
Hi all,

I have several videos downloaded from this forum to test the 3D video playback of the EVO 3D.

However, even I have pressed the 3D enable function in the player, those videos are still showing left and right screen together, which have no difference with 2D.

Do any of you have the same experience?

I have tried to import some 3D photos and they are fine.

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
Battery pull / reboot.

If that fails, clear storage / rebuild.

If that fails, return it.
[HTC EVO 3D] hkkenchoi:
Hi, I tried to watch 3D video from the camera and youtube, both work.

Will it really related to the handset or video format?

Thanks
[HTC EVO 3D] edufur:
I no longer understand what your problem statement is. It either works or it doesn't. Which is it?
[HTC EVO 3D] hkkenchoi:
OK let me explain more

1. For those 3D videos taken from the camera and watch from Youtube. it worked

(no need to enable 3D manually, the player can detect it automatically)

2. For those videos import from PC, not ok.

I tried around 10 files, most of the are downloaded from here, just display the side by side video even turning on 3D. I follow the steps to convert one video from youtube to mp4, but still didn't work.

(need to enable 3D by myself)
[HTC EVO 3D] mmace:
what do you mean "turn 3D on"?

are you pressing "menu > play in 3D" when playing the videos?

do the videos have "3D" in their name?
[HTC EVO 3D] hkkenchoi:
1. Yes, I mean pressing menu--play in 3D

2. The videos have 3D in their name and all of them all SBS video. I am sure theyr are 3D video (watched some of them in the 3DTV before), but no luck when converting them into m4v/mkv file
[HTC EVO 3D] fetalp:
I have had this happen I just hit menu then 2d then hit menu again 3D and it finally goes
[HTC EVO 3D] om4:
Just add "3D" to the end of any sbs videos and the software will handle it automatically, i was so hyped about the 3d that i watched tons of promo videos and on at least 3 they mentioned evo 3d will recognize sbs videos that are tagged in the title so first thing i did when i got my 3d was load clips with 3D at the end of file name and it just works, no need to fuss with menu

Is there any way we can stop that particular Service from looking / provide the sound files ?

Thanks !

It Seems, OMXPlayer is nothing but MediaPlayer which we use to play an Audio / Video File in Android. After Checking logcat for some time.. It Seems it OMXPlayer is stopped later..

As seen.. its again the 6 OMXPlayer instances which are killed.. Wondering if its due to Voice Search & Google YouTube.

It has been quite a while since I rooted my Evo using unrevoked forever. My niece is getting her Evo this Friday and wants me to root it so she can get rid of the crapware and install a good rom on it. Is there are preferred method? Auto root, unrevoked or one click? Also if her Evo comes with GB pre-installed, is there still no way to root it?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkrodgers:
Your last question is the most important one...be sure they don't update it for her when they activate it. If it's already got it on there, game over for now.

If she's lucky enough to get one that still has 2.2 on it, all the various methods work. Unrevoked works well and is easy.

If it comes with 2.3, it can't be rooted as of yet; if 2.2, download the windows hboot drivers, then use unrevoked to root.
