The home key only works on the lock screen. It does not work at any other time. This randomly happened last night and I can't seem to find the problem. Any advice other than backing up and resetting my phone?

I had such a problem once. Home button wasn't working and some reboot etc. options were gone too. Make sure You have working launcher (no license verification problem), if You don't then make a backup and wipe data. I hope it helps, helped by me

How do I perform a complete factory reset....All data wiped? Is it possible? I've searched and can't find the answer.
I should add...I'm having a helluva time with random reboots and I'm trying everything before returning the phone. (I have a zagg installed)
The factory reset under Settings -> SD & phone storage doesn't wipe the data?
If not, you can totally power off the phone (pull the battery), and hold volume- while you power it back on, that should get you the recovery menu. There is a factory reset option in there. If you want to totally restore to stock, you can download the original SD card contents in the development section here and then format the sd card and put the original content back on.
Open up your dialer, hit ##786#, then put your msl in, then select menu, then select restore. Then it will reboot.. This will completely restore everything, including data, settings, it will wipe everything.

I go right into Hboot to factory reset. (Phone off)Hold Vol down & press Power. You'll see the option. Use your volume key to select & press power. BOOM!
Or you can use the above suggestions
Thanks guys...I tried the hboot method 1 time b4 and my data remained....all downloaded w/w and everything. But this time it worked perfectly. Let's see if this solves my rebooting problem. I just installed that 20 dollar damned zagg screen protector. I really appreciate all of the quick responses.

Depending on where you bought the Zagg, you can take it off and have it re-installed for pretty cheap usually.
Best buy

I know they do reinstalls if you aren't satisfied. Did they install it there when you bought it?
Yup, they installed it.

When setting up your phone, uncheck allow Google to back up your data. Also, go into settings>privacy>uncheck back up my settings.

Tried everything and I still have the problem. Really nothing seems to work.
I'm reading about resetting my router, full wipe, your tip,...
Is there anything else left?
You can try reflash the latest firmware using odin.

~Samsung Galaxy SIII (SPH-L710) - Blazer ROM v1.6 - TWRP~
If you are in the UK, update your modem to LH1 , I had this and lh1 was released to address this problem
Still haven't found a solution. Back to stock rom now and back to samsung for repair i guess.
I have the same issue (stock, unrooted, factory unlocked) and I have the LG8 modem. Only started after the latest OTA update which took me to LG8. It's not my router because I can make a 20 minute Skype call on my wife's iPhone and on this phone it cuts out after a minute or so, every time. Even as I'm typing this, I see the message on my screen telling me I'm reconnecting to my router every couple of minutes. Very frustrating.

Did WORK with ARHD 3.0!!! THX Mine problem solved!!!
I'm still trying to fix mine.
When i'm near my router/modem it can connect and download at slow speed. When I move away I lose connection.
And after a reboot or just when trying to connect from a further distance I get: authentication error occurred.
Even with my open network.
I think it started happening after the installation from the first OTA JB.
Maybe installing this one again could help?

Its called the "deep sleep" or "death screen" I get it sometimes, I just hold the power button for 10 seconds and it resets the device (not factory reset, just reboot, if you like)

Well you may also try wiping caches and fixing permissions.. it might help i think

if Reboot doesn't work
Just restore to a Stock Samsung Firmware and don't forget to reset your device. (you could backup via your computer)

Hey, I just bought a samsung i9100 from a network company(orange) with the ics 4.0.4 version on it. Sometimes my screen doesn't work, i mean i'm typing and it doesn't respons but after i turn the phone in lock screen (1 time on power button) it works again. Oh, also it move by itself and if i type on contacts for exaple it execute my command and do one extra touch on some porson from my contacts. I'm convinced that it's a software problem but may i'm thinking wrong?

Must be the touch driver crashing....
*clean your screen, fluids tend to crash touch driver and like you mentioned locking, wiping the screen and unlocking will get it working.
If that doesn't work
*maybe it's because of some app you use crashing/colliding check and see you may might have to try un installing the apps which you installed or updated when the problem started to occur.
*if above two failed try performing a factory reset might help .
*finally flashing a new stock firmware will correct the problem if all above methods failed.

Well.....I think you have just found the answer to your question
Remove it and see if it's all good. If not, returning time it is, don't even bother go flashing firmwares. It's a brand new phone.
Good morning. Guys i was thinking that my screen protection isn't a problem because if i lock the screen and i open it again all works. And sometimes when i'm typeing a text message or i'm on browser it seems to type by itself and i'm looking scared .
p.s : i flashed a new stock rom(4.0.3) , i wiped it and i did all i could. the problem is still there.

Hi all,
The wifi on my phone Samsung Galaxy Chat will not turn on all of a sudden. Same is the issue with Bluetooth.
The wifi button in the drop down screen is kind of greyed out and when settings is opened the [off-on] is greyed out. In wifi settings it just says "turning on...".
All firmware up to date. Phone isnt damaged or dropped.
I have restarted the phone many times and also performed factory reset twice and cleared the cache too.
Please help.
Thanks in advance.

I have a Galaxy Note N7000, and I have the same exact problem. I've tried everything possible but to no avail. I wish I could have help, but I'm desperately searching all xda related threads for a solution, myself.
Did you just buy it? Or it's a long time ago?
What cache did you cleared?

Yes, I always do a factory reset and format and delete caches and system folders. It is something to do with jelly bean.
