Same issue

[jp_08]

I'm also having the same problem out here and it is really awkward when I happen to be in a library and the phone starts to speak by itself.

I saw this thread and thought that finally maybe there is something I can do to fix this issue by myself.

From what I read from the comments, I am still not a 100% sure where to place the aluminium foil. can anyone out there who have tried the above method and succeeded tell me the exact place to place the foil?

Thanks a lot!

Is it save to put an aluminium foil inside?

Thanks!

I also have this problem with my international lumia 900. I tried the aluminum technique, it work flawlessly but I have safety concern. Will it cause short circuit or affect the internal components?

I am experiencing the exact same issue with the 'tellme' bing/voice search activating by itself while in speakerphone node. VERY annoying especially when you're trying to listen to details of a call only to have the tellme service speaking over your caller. The search also activates by itself during game play. Example, when playing angry birds, my fingers won't even be on the screen and Bing search will.activate. I can get it to repeat every couple of rounds. Very annoying as I'm forced to restart the game after the search activates. I'm a Lumia 900 user on the Rogers network in Canada. Should this get addressed through my carrier or through Nokia Canada?

Hi I just wanted to share I finally got this fixed at my Nokia Care centre (Singapore). They just replaced the mic, took them less than a day from when I left it to when I was able to pick it up. Phone works like a dream now. (Related issue: no more echo for the other party - in fact people I've called are surprised at the great sound quality). Had been struggling with this issue since October so it is annoying that it is such an easy fix for the trauma I went through every day having to yell cancel at Microsoft TellMe.

If your phone is still under warranty try and get them to change the mic and this issue will be resolved!

I did this:

All you need is :
Foil Paper (1 thin sheet cut to block just the capacitive buttons )
Paper Clip (to remove sim and screen lock rod)
Butter knife (to pry open right side of screen)

- I didnt even fully remove the screen, I opened it just enough to slide in foil paper.

Opened it following this video:

and it seems to be working for me now, let me know if it works for you too

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO WHOEVER DID THAT POST. 

I really hope it keeps working for the following months

By the way it only took 10 or less minutes to make it

I have bought an "unlocked AT & TNOKIA LUMIA 900" from USA now I am in india and facing some problem in capacitive buttons (search, back and windows are not working). Please let me know from where I can g
et support on these issue.

Watch the video linked in Message 248 in this thread. Your other option is to send it back to the US for servicing under warranty or take it to a Nokia care facility in your country and pay for the repair.

[RA900]

Send mine for repair. the send me a replacement . The replacement is also showing the same symptoms.

cant play a game properly, cant browse the web, cant text a friend properly, even a thumb moved over the capacitive buttons unwanted screens and popups coming, biggest pain is, while playing a game.. It switches to multiple screen mode, and that time wasting speech recognition. After speech reg comes its so hard to quit... lumia 900 with windows is almost like buying a headache for 500$.

I've had my Nokia for a few months now and until recently I've had absolutely no problems with it. For some reason my capacitive windows, back and search buttons were very sensitive then they completely stopped working. I took it in to be checked out and they told me it was probably water damage but i haven't had it any where near water and its not sweat.  Every once in a while the buttons will light up again but it keeps going to the bing search or the voice search thing will pop up on the screen which i can't get out of since the buttons aren't working..does anyone have this problem?  I'm hoping this is just temporary and the buttons will start working again..

I have 4 lumia 900s I only had one that had this issue, the foil under the screen fixed it. I suggest putting it in something, I happen to have some anti static bags that fit just perfitctly under the button row. the Lumia in question is the oldest one. I assume nokia fixed this when the found out about it in later phones.

now if only i could unlock the bootload to install unlocked Roms.... a man can dream.

Thanks, this thread helped alot.
