Hello,

I am using a Acer Liquid Metal S120 for the past 14 mnths now running on Android 2.3 Gingerbread.
I have had no trouble with it yet except for the normal internal memory hassles as I still haven't rooted.

However, recently my phone is displaying some very strange behavior. My capacitative buttons work fine when I'm in the office or malls or theaters ; just about any air conditioned place.

However, as soon as I reach home they go dead. They do not respond at all, so much so that I have to restart my phone to switch between apps as there is no Back or Home button.

Has anyone ever encountered this before??? Its completely crazy... I dont know if its the light or the temperature or pressure or humidity that affects the capacitative buttons in my office but they just refuse to work like 30 minutes after i step out of office.

Please help...
