[Problem} My Streak's home button does not work - Streak 5 General

As the title says, my touch 'home' button on the Streak does not work anymore. I have the Texas Beta Streak and while using it, it just decided not to work. Maybe I will root and flash the phone to see if that resolves anything.
Has anyone else had this happen?

After several restarts and severe vibrations, I pulled the battery and everything appears fine. Jenn from StreakSmart did a write-up on the random vibrations she expirienced from the Streak.
Odd...

At least you got it sorted mate

Going on two days now, the home button appears fully functional. I believe Android 1.6 is the culprit! I just hope Dell's team of 8 developers for this phone knows what they are doing.

Had you changed the default launcher to something else? Or using a task kilter that killed home?
I noticed that long press home didn't work when using adw.launcher without the normal home working in the background

In 2.2 you can disable or enable haptic feedback. Check your sound settings and go to the button and check your haptic feedback.

Oh you still on 1.6? I had a problem with 1.6 where vibration would stop working but a reboot would fix that or just waiting would get it working. You could try and update to 2.2 to see if it starts working again. If not the vibration could of went bad. I would try 2.2 first.

I had the same problem...it started getting weak and then stopped altogether. I read somewhere that shake the streak vigorously and it will start working again, keep shaking the streak while pressing the volume down button it worked for me.

Touch screen stops working

Ive had an issue with the screen for a while now. No matter what version of android ive tried other than the stock US1.6.
When it stops responding to touch the streak has to be reset with battery removal
Am I the only one? Any fixes im not seeing?

LOL there are over 20 posts with the exact same thing. You need need to recalibrate ur screen, i had the same problem. Its not that ur screen is frozen its that the phone can't recognize your touch since it been in your pocket.

all backwards button

I was wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this issue. I am currently running the latest cyan 7 nightly but i do recall it happening 2 other times on cyan 7 RC4 and RC1. I am not at all saying it only happens on cyan, i am just showing when and how it happened. All 3 times it happened my battery was below 10% and i restarted my phone to have the issue occur. It seems as if every button on the screen would choose the exact mirrored opposite of itself on the screen. If i would press the phone icon on adw the default on the other side wich happens to be internet browser would launch. If i pulled down on the notification bar the app drawer would open and so on and so on. the only thing that was regular was when i would press an option in the main menu such as wifi or location, basically anything that didnt have an option next to it that it could switch to. after a few minutes i restarted the phone again to have the issue go away as fast as it started. It was not only in adw for those wondering it was anything that had an option next to it, such as pressing favorites in the browser and it would launch whatever is opp of it, settings i think im not positive at the moment. Oh well i just figured i would share some of my story with all of u in case it somehow starts a topic or even some how helps somebody out in any way. thanks, veritas

I work for a cell phone repair company and we recently had a G2 come in with heavy water damage. after doing the water damage treatment the phone powered on, everything working fine.
I powered it off to put my SIM into it to test the call functionality and when it powered back up the entire touchscreen was backwards, even the softkeys at the bottom.
we replaced the digitizer and that fixed the issue, so maybe T-Mobile or HTC will warranty it if its a bad digi

Capacitive Buttons

I noticed today that the 4 capacitive buttons at the bottom of the phone were not all lit up as they're supposed to be. There seems to be light coming from the search button and starts to carry over into the back button but the home and menu buttons are an off white color and dont seem to be getting lit up. Any suggestions?
I seem to have the same problem. I'm on OTA 2.3.4. It could be a model that I did, but I can't remember doing anything that might have done it.

There are reasons why this build is called "beta". I'm on official 4.1.83 and have no such issue, anyone does?
Mine seem to be working fine. I know that they work with the light sensor. Try covering it up for a few seconds (to the right of the earpiece) to see if they work.
