Did you try holding the power and volume down button? My keys wouldn't light and after the 3rd time I did that they started working.
I have the same issue.but I have a feeling its my proximity sensor.
I was using tab tab app to unlock the screen.
Tried it again and its not working.

Anyone else having this issue: my home key needs to be pressed a number of times or firmly before it reacts. I'm affraid the button is starting to go.

Mine started doing it a while back and it turned out to be my screen protector. I was using Stealth Guard protectors at the time.

Hmm, Im not using a screen protector.
Are those buttons along the bottom actually buttons, or are they just touch sensititve?
See if it tends to work better if you press it as soon as the button back lights go off.... I had to return my first vibrant because of this hardware issue.

Yes, it works better when the backlight goes off! Damn it, I don't want to have to return this phone. Its easy to get into download mode...
Could it have anything to do with the rom I'm running? (Obsidian v4) its supposed to support a kernel with backlight notification...

Whenever I watch netflix on my note the menu soft key lights never turn off. Does this happen with any body else and is there a way to turn them off?

Only way to turn them off is going to phone settings and display and then touch lights and click never.

You could use screen filter from the market and leave the filter super high and check the soft key back light toggle
The theater leaves them on so you can get to the restroom safely.
Stock jellybean rom with siyah kernel.
So when the sreen goes dark, after not touching it for a short time I press the home button to wake it back up. as soon as I do that the screen flashes the page/app I was on and then returns to home. So I have to re enter the app/webpage and this is pissing the living s*** out of me! Any fix? Not happened on ANY other phone.

It is because you are pressing the home button, and the phone has not made it the lock screen yet. Thus when you 'wake' the phone it simply thinks you are pressing the home button, and returning you to the home screen.
Use the power button to turn the screen back on, it will only turn the screen on and not return you to the home page

On my old s1 I could press the home button no prob when the screen went dark. I could use the power button but would be uncomfortable for me. I have smart stay on and that has kinda fixed the probelm but only in day light or a light room. In a lowly lit area it sux

So with the phone in my pocket and pulling it out I often hit the home or volume keys with the screen off. Is it possible to lock these buttons and make only the power button light up the screen to unlock?
Thanks!
bump i would like this
Theres already a thread on this. The volume buttons dont do anything anyways when the screen is off.

Thanks. The volume buttons will adjust the volume on anything playing with the screen off. Really annoying when I use my phone in the gym and every time I touch the phone I adjust the volume.

I dont think there is any way to achieve this.. If you wanted to turn the screen on without pressing the power button.. There is always sweep 2 wake with custom kernels.
Their is no way to do that
