hello all. I apologize for the stupid question but I do not know whether to send my galaxy for repair because my middle button works but comparing it with three other galaxy is different.
my question is: what it looks like the middle button is pressed?
1-soft with difficulty returning to its initial state,
2-soft,
3- hard,
4- very hard.
. And when you reach the button without pressing it, seems to move? Sorry for the many questions but I do not know if mine is damaged.

I have 2 Galaxy S3 and both buttons are ,,2-soft''
They have a very very little movement which you cannot really see it.

It's kind of a normal wear&tear thing. When the device is brand new, the button sounds like a button, with that clacking sound. When you use it often (Like any normal XDA user would) the clacking sound goes away, it softens, and the feedback isn't as noticeable.
In my case, it's probably 2-3, because my device isn't that old (Got it about six to eight months ago..)
Hope I could help!

hey guys, im trying to get a vibrant and found this guy who has a mint condition vibrant but the touch sensitive buttons dont work, the screen is perfectly working but the bottom buttons wont register the touch... some time they do but most of the time they dont... there is no water damage and he says that the phone has not been dropped so, wtf happened here? any software related thing going on here?
ill buy it if there is any way to fix it, maybe some of you have experienced this issue and have an answer?? thanks and please give me some advice
I've returned 2 vibrates because of the home button being haywire. From everything I've heard also, I'd advise you not to get the phone from this guy, its a hardware malfunction.

shyt man i have the same issue on mahh vibrant....ive tryy everythinq i cann and i couldnt get it working....
Someone it depends on the rom yiu install too. I had that problem when I bought mine from a guy at craigslist.. But when I installed axura or other rom, the home button worked flawlessly. I don't totaly agree that its "hardware issue" I think its on the software "roms"

Hello,
I got my galaxy s3 for a little over 5 months now. About 3 months ago this started to happen:
/watch?v=yck3t4-tDDA (youtube vid, can't post links yet)
This clicking noise and the loose home button (end of vid) is bothering me quite a bit. I was thinking
to go to the store and ask what they think about it, however i'm aware that if i can get the phone replaced
the new one may even be worse ( screen problems, overheating, short battery life, etc). So i thought i'll ask
it here first , what do you guys think and do some of you have the same problem?
Thx in advance!:good:

I also think that the home button becomes loose
Plus the power button becomes loose,too
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Hmmm, maybe then its just normal ...Anyway then I just have to hope the home button won't fall out my phone
It isn't normal, mine doesn't have that issue. (6 months)
Go back to the store. And look if you can get a new one. I think they will send it to a samsung repair center.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I want to go back but the problem is that the button is working fine and gives me a satisfy click. As well my s3 is awesome in every other way: very long battery life, phone is not getting hot, etc. I think i will contact the customer service first. I will let you guys know.
i think it is normal, my brand new white also clicks when you hit it like than, and also it is a bit loose when sliding up and down. but it works perfectly and i wouldnt even notice this if i didnt watched your video
So, as the title says hardware problem and there are few things I want to know about. Have anyone got the problem about power button position on the inside is lower than the volume buttons? My bro and me got the same XU and never have problem except this one. My Xperia U has the lowest power button than my brother. If that's my phone's factory fault, can I repair it by disassemble it and settling the buttons back? I got no problem but I have to press hard for power button and there are no pressable home button to wake my device up. My problem is normal or not? Please answer me dear bros. Thanks.

If you have a guarantee, I'd recommend you take it to the store since its a factory problem. If you don't have a guarantee, there's some apps which let you use the volume buttons to turn the screen on. I don't know the names since I've never used one but I've seen it in here so you can use the search bar to look for them

They told me to wait for changing my handset dear bro. I'm waiting. Everything's went so bad. They told me that it wouldn't gets so wrong. But it's definitely sure that I have very stupid power button. You're right bro. I should have brought my brother handset, too. Now I'm in anxiety because it's only one week old. Now, I press so hard the power button and it annoys me. Anyway, I thank you so much for helping me out. Now I'll have to wait for answer.

Hello All,
This is my first post on this forum. I tried searching, but haven't found the answer yet so posting here.
I have an LG Optimus G which I bought about 2 months ago from ebay. Phone was in brand new condition and the seller claimed that he only used it once (a few hours) but didn't like the interface so he went back to iPhone. The phone has worked flawlessly until today when the menu button quit working. It is not registering any touch on that side; although the button lights up when the home and back buttons or the screen is used. It is only the menu button that has gone bad. I have not recently installed any updates either. The last update I installed was 11/19/2013. It is running Android version 4.1.2.
Is there a fix to this problem? I am really bummed that being my first android phone, I was starting to like this phone a lot and now this problem has come up!
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks

Welcome to the Community.
Although , I haven't heard about this problem earlier. But in case if that's a hardware problem , then with some tweaks , on-screen buttons can be used , like in N4. It's an alternative.
However , for that the phone should be rooted.
In case if you have warranty available , then you should probably take it to the nearest service center. But if not , then I guess rooting it shouldn't cause any issue , as there is no warranty left to void.
Apparently , is there any app that you have installed recently that is meant for tweaking some settings of your droid ??

Rishi,
Thank you for the welcome and the quick reply. I didn't install any app for tweaking the settings. The last two apps I installed were Mercury Messenger and Skype.
As far as warranty goes, how do I find out if it is still in warranty or not since I bought the phone on ebay? Not sure how long the seller had the phone before I bought it.
Do you think hard resetting would help?
Thanks

If it were a hardware problem, I don't think hard reset will do any good.
But you can try to take a backup and then try resetting it once.
As far as warranty is concerned, you can check with the owner of the phone from whom this phone was purchased on eBay. Of he has a valid bill with remaining warranty then maybe you could be lucky.

You can try this to check if it's really not registering any touch on the home key.
GO through this step. ( I assume , you're on Stock )
In the phone type in : 3845#*970#
It'll open a hidden menu with loads of options for testing .
GO to : HW Device test (options 2 from top)
-> Touch test, ( option 4 from top.)
->Touch sensing test.
You can perform various touch test and buttons test there to see what areas are having trouble registering touch inputs.

Thanks Rishi,
I performed the touch test and yes the menu location is not registering touch. Rest everything else is registering touch correctly. I have contacted the seller to see if they can help.
So, say if it is not in warranty, what else can be done?
Thanks!
If not under warranty then it's going to cost quite a bit. I have no idea about the cost and internals though.
IMO, you can continue with the onscreen overlay button fix, if it asks too much to get repaired.
It'll like as if you were using a nexus 4 with external memory support and lte.

Thanks for your reply, ChummyDays,
Question though; how did you establish the proof of purchase LG requires you to send (I am guessing, you bought yours used like mine)?
I dropped my phone few days ago and now my home, menu and back buttons are not working properly. espesially the back button 'goes on' sometimes and it shuts everything what i open immediately. home and menu buttons just dont respond sometimes on my touch. Is there anyway I can fix it myself? I also thought about the on screen buttons, but couldnt find any tweaks for that.
if your buttopns r broke install xposed, will need root and install gravity box and enable the navigation bar.
