need help - tytn2 strange behaviour

[konch]

yesterday my tytn2 started to act crazy, i didn't drop it or installed any new software.

the screen started to turn on on his own, front buttons stopped working accept the center button witch now opens the start menu.
when i open the keyboard the fn light is on and the keyboard doesn't work.
when i write the sms message trough touchscreen the backspace isn't working so i can't delete misspelled words.

the photo button and power button on left side still working fine.
all the applications work fine, and i can make calls trough touch screen.

i can't make hard reset because front buttons wont respond.

is anybody had similar problems or have the solution.
my guarantee is gone so i hope this is software problem.

Try doing a battery pull and letting your phone sit like that for a minute, put the battery back in, and see what happens...

It sounds like you have water damage to your phone, though. Every take it in the bathroom with you while you shower? The steam in the air is a sure fire way to get water damage, and it will take time to show, but eventually circuits rust and stop working and you end up with a lot of random problems, and usually all of a sudden you have a lot of major problems.

well, i can't remmeber that i had carry it in the bathroom while showering.

i pulled out the battery, waited for about 5 mins and when i put it back nothing has changed. thanks for the tip.

is there a way to do a hard reset without pushing the front buttons?

look in the wiki for a detail of all the ways you can perform a hard reset (i believe there are at least THREE ways)

METHOD 1: the one you are looking for (because your buttons don't work) can be triggered by going to Settings->System->Clear Storage (assuming your phone still boots up and the touchscreen is usable)

METHOD 2: when the phone is POWERED OFF:
1. stick the stylus in the soft reset hole and hold it there
2. hold down the two soft keys
3. press the power button

if you try METHOD 2 and if it works, then you can safely assume that your soft keys are working and that it is indeed a software issue.

i used METHOD 1 and did a hard reset.
nothing has changed, front buttons and keyboard still refuses to work.
unfortunatly it seems it is a hardwer problem so i'm going to take it to the service.
thank you for helping me.
