Hi guys
I just got the phone yesterday (phone is stock everything not even rooted) and it has been working fine but now the home button has stopped working.
Will not wake the phone
When in applications will not return to the home screen.
Are there any settings I should check or just return the damn thing? I have LauncherPro installed but have since switched back to the stock launcher. I can't do anything now because the button does not seem to be working.
Thanks,
Elliott
EDIT: Just did factory reset and still not working...WTF
Obviously a case of broken home button. Just return your phone and have it replaced.
Thanks I did and it works now...brand new phone and new iShieldz. Thank god this worked out great actually because I messed up putting my old screen protector on lol but now this one is perfect
Have there been a lot of cases of this happening? I searched before posting this but didn't really find any threads at all about it in the SGS2 forum.

Hello I dont know if this question respects only the LG O1 but I am gonna start from here.
I had my phone on my desk and suddenly I found out that
the lock screen is gone (when I press the lock button the screen just turns off)
the home button was not working - responding alone
the airplane and silent mode were gone only power off selection existed when I had the lock button pressed
and all my calls were automatically reset.
I tried to reboot and remove the buttery and/or SIM but no luck. I dont want to factory reset at all is there anything I can do throw the ADB shell. Any place were I can look at
I am experiencing the exact same problem since late last night. In addition the Home button and Search button do not work (when pressed they illuminate the screen - since there is no lock anymore) however do not carry the intended function (of returning to home menu or searching).
Can someone please help! I have already sent 2 random (and one embarrassing ) SMS to people on my contact list.
I know one easy way so READ CAREFULLY
1: find and install "Power Control Plus" widget from market.
2: Add Lock on/off widget to background and disable.
It's that easy
So this is just for the lock I will see something about other stuff u said.
Thanks ljubisa_sk
Unfortunately the widget does not lock the screen - actually it has no effect nether this, nor other 'screen locker' apps in the market
My phone is branded and locked to Three Ireland (H3G).
Does anyone know whether there was some sort of OTA update rolled out automatically or something similar?
I know this is old and the issue still remains.
However, what I have seen now is that when I put the phone on airplane mode, the screen lock appears and I can slide to unlock.
As soon as the airplane mode is off, I get back to the same symptoms.
Can anyone help please??? I am really getting annoyed with my phone.
Flash a custom rom ?

but the phone is 2 months old only - I'd rather not void the warranty.
I was hoping for a solution here as I'm not in Ireland anymore to send it to the Three store.
Better void warranty, lg os is the most crappy thing I've experienced.after first inversion of void Rom I was stunned by it's speed and with the touchscreen fix you will experience new powers of this cheap phone.I've voided my warranty in the first month . Good luck.

Hello friends.
I just got my Motorolla Atrix 4G and im not abble to unlock it on the unlock screen, the touch just dont works at all there, even the capacitive buttons below not responding. The first day I managed to unlock it somehow after removing the battery, after that the unlock screen was working fine even when I lock the phone so I tough the problem was over and stated to install some basic apps. Like 2 days later the problem was back and now not even removing battery was working, sometimes I get to unlock it but now thats less and less posible. I read that installing an optional unlock screen could do the trick so I installed "Widget Locker" and worked some hours, then the same thing even the Widget Locker unlock screen dosnt respond. Its weird because once I manage to unlock it the touch works perfectly at all so that makes me think its a software/system problem.
Currently I cant unlock it at all, not even removing battery or anything.
The phone its used, I was thinking to bring it to a tech center on here and try root and installing a custom rom?
Thanks in advance for your help guys.
Bump...
Just to add... tried hard reset and didnt worked =/
¿Any sugestion? ¿Should I try an screen change?
Thanks.

Does the problem occur when you move the phone into a vertical position (moving the lock screen)?
Try turning the screen off/on by using the power button (but don't turn the phone off) ... does this help?
When you installed a custom rom did you do a full system wipe? (goto 'mounts/storage' and format pre-install, data, system, osh, cache) before
installing rom.
Hello barry, thanks for the answer.
Yes, the problem occours in both horizontal and vertical positions.
If I press the power button the power off dialog appears on screen and im unable to touch the options, holding the power button dont turn the phone off so im forced to remove the battery to turn it off.
I havent installed a custom rom yet. Thats the next step ill be covering. I toke the phone to a tech center place and asked them to install a custom rom (since I cant persoanlly do the root and flash rom proces) They just told me that it didnt fixed it, but when i turn it on i saw the same Moto Blur interface wich make me think they didnt changed the rom at all...
Sadly when puting a SIM and starting the phone the Motorolla interface screen appeared, but... touch wasnt working there neither wich now starts to make me think it is a hardware problem after all... Im not sure anymore and dont know what to do now
Sorry for the long answer and the bad english.
sounds like your digitizer might need replaced, based off of what I read. just out of curiousity, what android version is it?
Stock Android Gingerbread 2.3 with Moto Blur UI
Digitizer? Not Screen then?
EDIT: Ohh nvm, Digitizer = Touchscreen right?

Yes. Don't confuse the two, the screen has nothing to do with the digitizer, other than one being on top of the other physically.
Hiya all,
Got my HTC one few weeks back and think its freaking awesome. Love the phone, just one small problem.
Every now and then the two touch buttons (back and home) don't work, but not at the same time.
For example, im using facebook and look at an image. I try to go back but the button doesnt work so I have to use the home button. Usually it works again if u lock the phone the unlock it again.
Sometimes happens to the home button, like when you double touch the home button it shows recent applications. Again I have to lock and unlock it to get the touch buttons to work. Its not a really problem more of an annoyance, just hope it doesn't get worse. But still, I wouldn't expect this from a new phone.
I did email HTC support but they haven't got back to me, any thoughts guys?
I have rooted phones in the past and installed other ROMs, but I wanna keep the stock at least til the warranty is up on this phone. Also checked for updates, and found none.
So yeah, any thoughts
Thanks
Andy

I would return asap. That shouldn't be happening although I heard this issue from someone else but most people don't have this issue.
I'm not an addict I just flash a lot.
My Home Button sometimes works sometimes doesnt .I have tried switching roms between 4.3/4.4 and 4.1.2 stock ones. For now i am using LMT launcher, but it might take me sometime to get a hang of it ! .
I have heard getting to the home button is problematic and is somehow related to the touchscreen/display.
Can someone please guide me how to go about it.
It works sometimes like say after seven presses. sometimes it just works like normal. Its cold here in new delhi. Maybe thats what got to my phone.
Search for the service manuals, there's a run through with pics.
I've rooted my phone and flashed it back to stock 4.4.2 (TWRP recovery) because I wanted more freedom than 5.01 gave me. Everything workeds fine until it did an OTA upgrade back to 5.01.
At this point the back button stopped responding (menu button was fine). When I pressed the menu button both of them lit up, but the back button still did not respond.
I put it back to 4.4.2 again and the buttons worked just as they should, but again after an OTA upgrade the back button stopped responding. Getting tired of this, I flashed various other ROMs from Stock 5.1 to CM12.1 and whichever one I choose the same problem occurs. Only when I put it back to 4.4.2 does everything work normally.
I know I'm not the only one who has experienced this and I'm told that Samsung is aware of it happening in a very few cases, but no cure has appeared and it is getting really frustrating. Today I flashed a really great-looking ROM, which is a port from the S6 for the S4. There are one or two little issues with it, but guess what? Yes, the back button is disabled again. I have switched on the accessibility menu option, which puts a floating icon on the screen which when pressed has a few options, one of which is to go back, but this is only a workaround kludge not a solution to the problem.
Is there an expert out there that can tell me what all the later ROMs have in common which disables the back key? There is nothing intrinsically wrong with the key mechanism, such as it is, because it works perfectly under 4.4.2. I have the feeling that since this only affects a relatively few S4's the problem will not be progressed.
Does anyone out there know what is going on and can anyone help me, please?
