Could be a possibility. I find that with the menu and back buttons if I press to the inside of the buttons they work better.

Funny. I do not have the problem with the sensitivity.....

They respond just fine actually, they just are a bit small so if you do the whole "hunt and peck" method for it, you will probably miss and mistake it for being unresponsive
Try sliding up from the transparent bar, or if you insist on the other way, aim above the silver dots Try sliding, you will not have any of what is called incorrectly unresponsive buttons
and ICS probably won't come with the screen buttons because it's a big waste of space, and with perfectly fine working buttons, its redundant.

Hi,
When I eject the qwerty keyboard, screen goes white. Its maybe do the sensor, but when I press the power button twice (its mean take off take on display) the screen is ok and landscape. I do hard reset but it isnt help.
And my secon problem is a non-function buttons bottom display. The softkeys work only when I want do a hard reset.
Thanks for every solution.

Thanks a lot for reply,
the mike's thread maybe fix the buttons but I think it's not reason for white screen when I eject the qwerty keyboard. When anybody have the same problem please post. Thank's again

I think that when you slide the keyboard, the connector wobbles thus a white screen.
Hi, thought it was just the go launcher causing this but it looks to be an issue with the phone. Sometimes screen presses don't register, seems a bit random, where pressing harder always work. Seems to me sensitivity has been set a bit to low. Anyone else noticing this or is it just me?
Just you mate, capacitive screens don't respond to harder presses especially since the S2 has a gorilla glass display, what phone are you coming from?
I know that but it really does work better if my press is harder or more defined if you want to put it that way. I come from a HD2, no issues with that, could be a duff screen.
edit: ok there is something wrong here, now it starting bring down the the notifications bar when i click on some icons, odd behaviour.
wonder if its something to do with my phone being set to 190 density, I will have a play
no joy with density change, think my screen is duff.
seems to be a latency issue with the digitiser, if I do a quick touch, say like i am typing it doesnt register at all when I click an icon, if I click and hold an icon for slightly longer (not long enough to bring up the screen edit it options)it is ok, which is why i suggested that pressing harder made it work, its not the pressure its the time my finger is held against the screen, a sensitivity issue, its like the software is being told to ignore light touches.
Typing texts etc is ok, just seems to be an issue on the desktop and drawer when I am selecting icons.
Since I bought my Atrix, the lights of the buttons are like on the image below: back and search are fully dark. On full brightness, is OK (but menu and home is always a little brighter)
Is it normal? Until today I did not mind because the button work OK and I don't want to send to assistance only for that.
Does anyone know what can be? At my research, I found that the backlight of buttons is the same as the screen , right?

Nope, not at all. Those are two backlights controlled separately.
No idea what's going on with yours. As far as I know, soft buttons are backlit with a few white LED-s, I guess some of yours are just giving out.
Mines the same on CM10.

Dear all,
My Xperia phone is really nice and I have been using it for quite a while. However, something happened to my phone about 3 weeks ago. The right side and bottom of my screen has become totally unresponsive and since then, I really had trouble typing letters like 'p', 'l' and 'm', and also pressing space bar and enter. The bottom of my screen is occassionally okay, and I will sometimes be able to type space bar, comma and fullstop as per normal, but it is only sometimes. I have been putting up with it by tilting my phone whenever I type, but recently, I accidentally set a screen lock(password) and since the 'Done' button was at the bottom right of my phone, I am totally unable to press it at all. I tried tilting it, but it seem that the screen would not orientate at all, not before unlocking it. I used the Xperia phone companion on computer to factory reset my phone. Just as I thought that the problem was over, Xperia guide comes up and prevents me from using my phone. Since the 'next' button is located at the bottom right of my screen again, I am unable to press it at all. I tried tilting but it does not work at all and it seems impossible for me to use my phone now. Can someone please help me? Thanks in advance.
Its probably a hardware problem you must change the touchscreen by yourself or bring it so service center

Upgraded to CM11, but had this on 10.2 as well. Back and home buttons are rendered inoperable depending on how NT is positioned (rotated). Really annoying and I know they aren't shorted because BACK works in one position but not the other, same issue with HOME. Anyone know of a fix?
Anybody?
you're talking about the onscreen buttons in android, right? i've never had any issues
that happen to me
I had that same problem when I change the dpi from 160 to 265 and that when it happen to me. It took me a day or two before I realized what causes It but when I change the dpi back to 160 my buttons started to work just as they did before.I hope this helps you with your fix.good luck
Well I don't know if it's your case, but this happened to me as well, and I found that I had dead zones in touchscreen exactly where on screen home and back buttons are, the only way I could use home and back buttons again was rotating the screen to upside down portrait (I could not pull down controls menu in this position since that part of screen was dead) or in landscape.
How I found out: download this app. from Google Play https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rn.yamtt, turn your tablet to landscape so on screen buttons will change positions. Open the app. and select paint tester and move your finger on the part of the screen where the on screen buttons wasn't working in portrait mode.
If you have dead zones like me, the app. won't paint the area where you are moving your finger because the touchscreen is dead in that area.
Also, my nook developed another problem after this, it won't charge, and when I plug the power cord, tablet crashes and reboots and stay in a bootloop unless I remove the cable. I'm 100% sure the cable and charger are ok, my nook suddenly started to show a lot of problems, I'll miss my nook =/
so what did you do to fix it?

Nothing since this has no fixes, part of the touchscreen is simply dead, unless a miracle happens, I even tried to restore stock nook rom, opened my tablet to check if there is a loose cable or something.
Is this happened to you in the same day you opened this thread? If your answer is yes, this sounds funny, because it's exactly the day when this small part on left bottom of the touchscreen died in my nook.
Also, somewhat my tablet started to charge again, but very slow, like USB charging, but I'm happy my nook returned to life.
No this happened many weeks before the thread. All of a sudden both home and back touches no longer worked in portrait position, but DO work in Landscape. Annoying.

Did you made the check I mentioned before? Does the back and home buttons works if put your tablet in upside down position so portrait mode will move soft buttons to the top edge?
Yes - all three DO work when I flip it upside down in portrait. Is this my workaround?

Unfortunately, you have the same problem as me - dead zone in touchscreen. Flip the tablet upside down in portrait or use in landscape are the only workaround afaik. I thought in moving the on screen buttons more to the right in a zone where the touchscreen is working, but I didn't find a way to do this, I managed to move them a little bit by adding more buttons in the bar in system settings, but the back button would still stay in the dead zone, them I switched home and back buttons positions (so home stays in the dead zone) since you can still use the tablet N button to use home function.
