The thinner it gets, the hotter it is :D

When the phones were fat there was much space for the heat to spread, but on our new and thinn phones, there's no place.

It heats up the cover directly, so it feels hot.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulinodf:
It's true.

Sometimes I stop watching something or playing because my arc S burns my hand. If you need to do something that demands full processor power while charging, prepare the fire extinguisher.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fuel-The-Droid:
Try this:

Switch off your phone and then put it on charging...arc gets charged pretty fast and it doesnt even heats up!

I tried this and now it never heats up...not even when using the processor to the maximum!

It will 'FUEL THE DROID'

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nounours_32:
Dear all,

I'd like to share a solution with the global HTC Desire community to the "buttons not working properly" issue.

My problem was that after a few months of use, some buttons of my HTC Desire began to not be as responsive as before.

It started by the "back button" and then the "home button" ; I had to push harder on it to get it work.

I saw several topics on this subject and no one proposed a solution that was really working.

Some people were saying that it was a software issue but as I had changed everything on my Desire since the first day I got this issue, I was sure it was hardware related.

I was about to follow the disassembly tutorial on youtube to have a look at the buttons more accurately but my father proposed to use a "moisture remover" before.

The product is this one but I'm sure some equivalent can be found:

MicroCare MCC-DC1 - VeriClean™ Flux Remover - 10 oz Aerosol Can

Basically, from what I understood, it helps to dry the parts where you use it (might help also from swimming pool issue...).

We turned off the phone, and used it directly on the buttons, trying to get the product inside (the buttons are quite loose so it was definitely feasible).

I turned on the phone 1min later and I'm still very impressed of the result.

Every button are now working properly (no need to press harder) and they react like the first day I got my phone. This is is very impressing and for all who might have the same issue than me I'd like to see if it works for everyone. It seems that my phone got wet some day (which doesn't surprise me at all) and the wetness never left, messing with the buttons.

Let us know if I'm right !

Cheers !
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peet_dk:
So, is it still working? :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattg:
Thanks for the tip. Had the same problem with my year old Desire. I just tried this with some PCB & Flux cleaner from Maplin (£3.99) and so far it seems to working much better.

Will see how long it lasts.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luca.costantino:
hi all

same problem here

do you think that crc 2-26 will do the trick? http://www.google.it/search?q=crc+2...=mode_link&ct=mode&cd=1&sqi=2&ved=0CC4Q_AUoAA is it similar to what you used? i meanm is it a simple electronic pray (yet "liquid") contact cleaner?

i'm a little afraid of using that on the phone... i tried compressed air but didn't work

thanks

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggyt:
I had this trouble and found an app called 'Button Savior' which displays an icon on the screen that when tapped displays a 'strip' of buttons onscreen (Home, Menu, Back etc)

It requires root for full functionality and as I am rooted I don't know what functionality it would have for un-rooted phones.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lucuz:
say it also works for the volume button? if I do not crush very strong does not work ... it is for what?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggyt:
It has Home, Menu, Power, Back, Phone, Search and Camera buttons.

There is also an app callled 'Volume Widget' which allows you to put a widget on a screen to turn up or down the volume for Call/Music/Ringer etc.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vadimgutu:
Man, your father is a genius. It worked perfect for me, got myself a KONTAKT LR spray (easier to find in switerland) which does the job at 100%, my back button is working perfect now, the volume button is also like new. Thank you guys.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hansiman2:
Yes !

Yes ! It really works!

I have a HTC Desire brown and my Home, Menu and volume down buttons were barely working.

I used MicroCare MCC-DC1 - VeriClean™ Flux Remover - 10 oz Aerosol Can

because the suggested product above is not available here in Belgium.

I removed the back panel and the battery. Then carefully sprayed some flux remover on the malfunctioning buttons, waited a minute and done!

Thanks so much to you and your dad for sharing this solution !

I can really recommend it to everyone with this problem.

He applied a moisture remover on the buttons.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRamon:
But the big question is... how does this work in the long term? It seems this spray keeps working, and it will destroy the electrical parts. There is also a second spray which will wash off the first cleaner, but I don't know if this will lead to waterdamage or oxidation.

I actually want to keep my Desire for an indefinite period of time, so I have to know how this 'solution' works in the long term :)

Anyone knows? :confused:
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Then swap your back button and search button actions, so that your search button will act as your back button.

Tweak the files in

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRamon:
The thing is, it's my menu button which is not working well. The other keys works pretty well.

I just want to let the keys work like they used to work. And I'm curious if this solution works well, not for a week or so.

I'm searching for the people who did this, and I want to know the experiences after a while.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ankurjana:
Same Problem

I am also having the same problem, hope your solution work for me, thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery22:
The solution worked for me as well.

BUT When you spray the keys directly you may wash your screen. A couple of day it may look like broken. I suggest to disassembly the device and use the spray on the keys separately. The result will be better this way.

The problem is caused by bad contact, so the good news are that the solution will provide continues results (until the dirt get into the key again).

Good luck everyone.

Thanks nounours_32
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRamon:
Does the spray continue 'eating'? Because then after a while your contacts will be broken. I want to know the results in the long term :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chery22:
Continue 'eating' ? Do you mean the sray does not evaporates fully and eats the contacts in future? If that so, I suppose it depends on the spray you use. Anyway, I don't have many choices for such products here.

I'll be glad if it last a year or two. Then I'll buy a new phone or new buttons for the good old Bravo. :)

EDIT: Be carefull with the display, people.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRamon:
Yes that's what I meant, Dutchman, sorry :p.

I saw there's a spray which washes the cleaning spray off but I'm not sure if this will leave any moisture.....

Thanks for your answer by the way :good:

HTC Desire X moisture issue

I came across this thread where the moisture related issues were being discussed.

I bought this HTC Desire X back in November 2012. It worked brilliantly until now. Off late, we've had incessant rainfall in Mumbai.... there's moisture in the environment. My phone works fine as long as I'm in office or places wherever there's air conditioning. The moment I'm outside, the Home Button, the Menu button stop working, even hard press doesn't help. This gets a little frustrating.

Any suggestions???
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MetinKale38:
How did you got the spray inside the buttons? I dont think it will have any effect if i use it on the buttons

Btw: i think any ethanol containing spray/cleaner would work because the liquid cleans the buttons and evaporates after some seconds/minutes

Tapatalked... just Tapatalked...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awjkok:
Great trick. I had the same problem. I bought a can of Griffon contactspray (nl, be, fr). I tried a little bit the first time and then repeated it the next day. Remove your battery, spray around the buttons, click the buttons repeatedly, and let it rest for the night. The spray works itself into the device/button contacts. Phone works fine and the problem seems to be solved. Anyway the can will last me sometime.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vadimgutu:
Hey TheRamon. I did this trick a year ago, it worked perfectly for me. Since then, repeated it once, like 6 months ago and again it worked great. Nothing bad happened to the phone, or screen, or contacts. Hope this helps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheRamon:
Thanks a lot man! At the moment I'm a happy owner of a new S3 LTE, but the Desire is still alive because my father is using him. I will tell him your story and it's up to him if he thinks it's annoying the way the buttons are working now. Anyways, thanks for your support! :good:

I rooted with Mills easy way, and now I have no tactile feedback. Ive checked the settings, and feedback is on, but still no response. Ive checked the keyboard settings, and that one is on. Ive downloaded vibrafix, gingerbread keyboard, and looked through all the settings in all the root tools I have, but there is nothing ive found to turn haptic feedback back on. Any ideas?
[Xperia Play General] brainard52:
I had an idea. Will somebody with root and haptic feedback give me a backup of their gingerbreak keyboard 2.3.2 system app? Also, when I get it, where would I put it so that titanium recognizes it as a backup so I can restore it?
[Xperia Play General] brainard52:
I figured out that, for some reason, the first text I make adter turning the phone on always has haptic feedback.

It just suddenly reappeared, so I have tactile feedback back.

Swype apk, Sprint skin version.

I have the one originally posted up by Android Police, with Sprint skin I guess. PM me and provide your email address if you want it.

You need to know that this apk would not work unless you do the mod steps, given by AP, which I do not have. You can search XDA to find out (AP copy it from a thread on XDA).

Otherwise, you should download the one given out by Swype for all android devices.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
pre-release via the beta is BETTER than the Nexus version in my opinion. I did NOT like the button to switch languages... what a waste of space, looks and a cause of errors. I don't frequently type in Spanish.

[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Then you will likely not see any data speed improvements when AT&T Gingerbread comes out. You also have working HDMI.

The issue is that all of our current Gingerbread ROMs are based on Rogers firmware - they don't achieve HSPA+ speeds and are missing HDMI.

Most likely yes - but it'll be a matter of days before rooted system images and kernels that inject root become available.

Certain Roms/themes have settings which allow you to select/deselect items you want to include on your power menu. So it depends on which one you're on as to how you go about changing it.

As example: Apex Rom has app 'theme settings'. Down toward the bottom you just select or deselect what ever you want.

If you had it before but not now, maybe something went back to default and you'll need to go to those settings and change it back. :)
