Question
in my original droid i ad ot flashed to cricket and just a few days after that the home button stopped working and when i amin the applications tray if i select ANY ITEM THAT IS IN THE SAME COLUMN, it will activate the item DIRECTLY to the LEFT of the item i touched

Answer
The problem, unfortunately Carly, is that when the phone was flashed, it is either that the flash didn't properly complete or how it was flashed was not the proper image for a Droid. If Cricket doesn't have a proper image for the Droid, then it can't flash properly. If they do, then the problem is likely that it wasn't flashed properly. I would take it back to where you had it flashed and have them try to do it again. You wont' be able to manually correct the problem you are having. I hope this helps.
