Unresponsive Home button - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, I have a question.
Is it normal when your screen is locked then you press the home button to power up the screen then nothing will happen then when you press it again it will show the lockscreen?
Although its not happening always, just sometimes Im still woried.
Is it happening to you also sometimes? Thank you.

Is it just there is a delay, or is it not appearing at all?

Its not appearing at all. It happens sometimes, maybe once a day or 2.
The guy on another thread said it is normal.

It looks like you may have a hardware issue (on the board). Did the phone get wet or damaged in any way?

I know that the hardware starts acting funny if it get wet since the contacts for the buttons can short out. I would get HTC to take another look at it. Also, make sure that you are not damaging the device accidentally by crushing it in your pocket or things of that nature.

Capactive buttons?

I dont know if its the viper rom or my phone, but either these things are sensitive as hell all of the sudden cuz of this rom or maybe its just a defective phone.
Recently my phone will be vibrating by itsself while its in my hand, and the menu button might popup or the search button. If i press the back button once, it performs like a double tap and goes all the way to the home screen lol
Has anyone else noticed this?

38 views and nothing?
Sorry I am not familiar with this. Sometimes though my screen does become unresponsive when trying to pull up the keyboard to text or to email someone. I hit the "input" area again and again but no response. Then if I power off the screen, and turn it back on and then go to the data input area, it magically works again. BUT, I can move up/down and the home button and everything works.
- It should be noted that I am running Beans 20 on vzw.

[Q] Slow System Glitch, System App Crash

The problem in my phone before is a slow menu swipe. It occurs to me the time I updated to Jellybean. Not only that is happening but whenever I exit an app, it keeps going back to the first page of the menu. What is also occurring is it keep saying in a random time "Favorite Apps has been crashed". After 2 months, weird thing is happening my phone suddenly, it stop getting the bug of the menu, it isn't slow anymore and the Favorite App crash is lessen BUT my home button is suddenly dying. Literally dying. When I first noticed that and when I click my home button to wake my phone up, it did not respond and if I click it a little bit longer it response. It is slowly dying each hr, the more hr is passed, more secs I need to press and suddenly after the day my home button is dead. When you click the home button, it isn't broken. When you press it feels normal and no broken parts and can click normally but the problem is the phone isn't responding to it anymore and my phone isn't slow all of a sudden after the button is dead. My phone became 2x faster after the button died. Any of you guys know why?

Question Last few morning's my screen has been locked and can't swipe open

Hi, not sure if anyone else has had this issue.
It's only really been happening to me the last few mornings when I wake up.
My screen is blank, the top half (no clock showing) the bottom half shows the bottom half with the fingerprint and if I touch anything, it's just frozen.
My alarm has sounded while it's been like this, and it shows the slider to turn it off, but again won't actually slide when I try, so the alarm keeps sounding.
The only way i it responds normally is if I press the off button to turn the screen off, then press it again to turn it back on, and then it seems back to normal.
I can't think of anything I have installed recently that might be causing it?
Anyone got any ideas please?
Regards
James
Do you use goodlock and custom clocks on aod and lock screen?
I do use goodlock yeah, thinking about it, I did recently charge a setting for aod to wake up notifications. It's there a glitch with that do you know?
I have had my screen go black and wont respond to any presses. Then when pressing the powerbutton the screen shows the home and back button only but responds to nothing, except I can use the sidebar, click on calander for example and then it allows me to unlock. Did this a few times but has not done it again after a power off and on.
