[Q] Home Button not working - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys does anyone know how to fix my home button? after I charge my phone, it simply doesnt work normal anymore..
I've already tried using terminal emulator to fix the keystr, reflash kernel, wipe dalvik-cache and cache and fixing permissions but to no avail..
I dont think the button itself is broken though.. since it still response when I try to wake my screen up or take a screenshot using homebutton and power button.
Any help on this?
Thanks!

Anyone?

I was gonna say Nand restore, but you got it figured.

Can't back out of App Drawer

For some (extremely annoying) reason, I can't use the back button to get out of the App Drawer, and it's EXTREMELY frustrating. It's only just started playing up and was fine yesterday. Is there a fix? Cheers.

[Q] profiles constantly changing

Hey guys, I am currently running a gs2 with cm9 rom, and the cm9 kernel, however if I have my phone on any of the profiles I.e silent vibrate or loud etc, I constantly switches between the profiles automatically, roughly every ten seconds .
Things I have done:
Flashed a newer nightly
Crashed system UI and restarted it.
Done all the wipes when flashing roms.
Changed between themes and icon packs.
Any other options for me guys? Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advanced guys

Try to set Profile to default (hold Power key) and then switch sound mode.
Thanks for quick response, just checked that and it is on default, I wish I could record a video of the screen to show you what's happening

Strange thing.
Try to:
1. flash RC (http://download.cyanogenmod.com/get/jenkins/3457/cm-9.0.0-RC1-galaxys2.zip)
2. make Nandroid backup, format system, flash CM9 again
3. change kernel
4. make logcat (aLogcat form GPlay or through adb on PC)
I have no more ideas right now.
OK thanks mate will do that when I have a PC available, thanks for the help well give feedback later

Well strangely enough it fixed itself over night, however thank you for the help anyway

You need to hold the back soft key for a couple of seconds.
I hold it until it does the lil vibration

Lol this it isn't the home button that brings up multitasking.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Holding down the home button brings up the recent apps. Holding the back button down brings up the "Multi-window" bar. If you don't see it, make sure you have multi-window turned on in settings or in the widgets in the notification bar. I think its one of the furthest widgets on the right (scroll).
Ok i guess i should use different words when i push the home button down sometimes it will stop bringing up the "recent apps" and i have to restart the phone for it to start working again

Exactly, the OP asked for the multitasking window feature, which is activated holding the back soft key that's located to the right of the home key.
I am stock

I see the OP asked for assistance regarding something completely different from what they wanted.
Sorry for the confusion i used to call it muti tasking on my old phone i guess since its a multi window feature on this phone some can get confused

Try going into Settings-->Application Manager-->scrolling over to the ALL tab, and clearing the cache and/or data for the TouchWiz Home. If that fails to resolve your issue, then you may end up needing to do a factory reset. My device isn't showing any stored cache, so I would delete the data from my phone before doing a factory reset. However, you may have stored cache, which I'd delete that first and see if the problem goes away.
Are you running any sort of task killer? If so, many time the recent applications list gets wiped.
Good Luck,
Jason

I sometimes think of long home press as multi-tasking myself. Recently opened apps are lined up in their last data state ready for quick waking. And you can quickly get back to your very last app by tapping the see through screen visible below all the other apps.
I tried clearing the TouchWiz data and that didnt seem to help i guess i will do a factory reset tomorrow and hopefully that solves the issue if not ive only had the phone for a week so i guess i can do an exchange

I just read about a person who had a defective power button, so if the factory reset doesn't work then take it into Verizon and tell them the home button is defective.
