Hello,
I'm having a real strange problem with my phone. I hope somebody can help me. After some bad luck with my phone my touchkey (for the menu option) keeps registering a touch, even when it is not touched. This makes it quit impossible to use the phone in a normal way. To solve this problem I disconnected the cable, which is responsible for the two touchkeys and the menu button, from the motherboard. With an option in my ROM (JB Resurrection Remix) I created a navigation bar with the functions of the disconnected buttons, so I can use the phone.
Long story short: I'm using a phone with the bottom keys (touchkeys and meny key) disconnected from the motherboard. However this causes an error in the phone which creates a bootloop. This happens with all the ROMs I install except for the rom: RR JB V3.1.3 AOKP 4.2.1 (SGS2) I'm currently using. This is really annoying since I want to change my ROM real desperately. Whenever I reconnect the cable in the motherboard, the phone stops rebooting.
Does anyone know how to prevent my phone from getting in a bootloop while having the bottom key cable disconnected from the motherboard?
Thanks in advance for your reply!

Weirdest issue I've ever come across.
Phone is less than 2 weeks old and was working fine. No hard drops, no water damage. I was running CM 10.1 (3.1.10 Blade Kernal) without issues until today. All of the sudden the capacitive buttons stopped responding. The backlight still comes on.
I flash a recovery to Paranoid Android which I tried out before, still doesn't work. Pie controls work, but on screen navigation buttons don't respond.
In TeamWin Recovery the on screen navigation buttons also don't respond, which is super annoying since I can only do one task, and then have to hard reset my phone.
I did a factory reset and they still don't work. Any idea what's going on here?

As per more experienced developers and contributors - parandroid is a mess (I am not sure whatever that means , since I have so far only tried CM 10.1 & Slimbean... )

Well I first experienced the issue running CM 10.1.
Since then I've relocked it and loaded the stock RUU where things got REALLY weird. The navigation keys still didn't work and soon nothing was really responsive. I can't even get past the unlock screen. The ring bounces when I touch it but it won't drag and unlock. So it's still detecting something, but it's not really responding at all. I can't even turn the thing off now as holding the power button down restarts the phone. what is this i don't even....
bump!
I need help with this and after extensive searching, I haven't found anyone else with this sort of problem.
I'm trying to install a ROM via TWRP but my capacitive and on screen navigation buttons don't do anything, so I'm stuck without a ROM at the moment.
Hey dudes
So I'm on temasek's cm 11 rom, and yesterday, my battery died(it needs to be replaced, because the phone can't tell me how charged it is...) without going through the usual "shutdown" procedures. Now when I turn it on, put the pin in and stuff, it showed upgrading apps(???), and then loaded up. Now, nothing shows in that navigation/notification panel thing, and the home button isn't working. Otherwise it seems fine. Is there any way to fix this issue without flashing and losing everything? I tried flashing to a newer rom without a factory reset, but the notification panel and home button are still not working.
Any help is really appreciated!
Hi everyone. After changing the usb pin of my phone, the touch screen started doing some weirds things. Sliding among desktops is rather laggy. Pressing an icon is not enough to get the app (or whatever) to work, a second attemp is neccesary in any other part of the screen in order to make it happen. The physical buttons seems to be working fine so far.
In further investigations it seems like pressing on the screen is well detected, since i can press an icon and move it around a desktop. But unpressing anything goes undetected.
I see no physical damage on the screen or the flex that connects it to the motherboard. This is not an issue related to any especific rom or kernel since i tried with a couple of them before getting to this point. Is there any app that allows me to monitor what part of the screen is being touch?
Can this be resolved by a firmware update of any kind of just a hardware replacement?
Cheers
The Capactive Touch buttons on Galaxy S2 does NOT dim or goes out automatically & rather radiates a strong touch screen light,even after the "Touch Key Light duration is altered to various intervals (1.5 sec or 6sec)" . The two Touch light only goes off with the Phone's Screen timeout or manually (pressing the power button) .
It was never like this till last week when the Octa-LCD inside my SGS2 broke & today when i changed the complete display assembly of the SGS2, i got to take note of this peculiar & harassing problem only now..which is eating up my mind.What's happening &why? Was the Screen replacement Not correctly carried out (done at my Authorised Samsung Service Centre) HARDWARE problem or is it due to any Software issues? (Samsung Service Centre did say that they did no software job,only just a screen replacement i.e a Hardware job on my SGS2)
i'm Rooted, on JB 4.1.2, Stock Rom with Siyah Kernel !
Though Samsung have offered me to replace my screen for a second time in a few days ( they dont have any more stock of the SGS2 scrren at this branch), but i myself NOT Sure..what's causing the problem ? (Everything in my SGS2 is running fine except this stressful quirk which was Not there before).
.'m at a fix ,please Help me with your advices ASAP !!!!
Have you tried flashing a different kernel like Apolo kernel 4.15b or try an older version of siyah kernel 6.0beta4.
I don't really think it is software problem if it was working perfectly fine before.
HELP my SGS2 !
Thanks @gsstudios for the good advice !
...but is there any app/mod for the SGS2 that can control the capacitive buttons light settings, other than the system settings for the SGS2 like the one> Galaxy Button Lights https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.notquiteinsane.galaxybuttonlights&hl=en (works for SGS6 but not in SGS2)
I'm Not quite a Flashholic,neither do i get much time to tinker around ..so any other quicker way,except flashing a different rom, to control the light settings?
* 1 important thing Maybe ...when my Phone with the "New" screen was booted for the first time, the "developer options" & "adb debugging" were left enabled by me ( to backup my contacts , messages,etc) Could this have any detrimental effect on the capactive button light settings? I have thereafter disabled/enabled those options & rebooted the phone many times but nothing simply changes !
Btw, if all other functions of the phone is Ok ( i checked the phone's sensors with CPU-Z & everything was running fine) & the Screen touch response seems perfectly ok ,then also can this capactive button quirk be the result of Hardware manfunctioning /defect arising from the very New replaced Samsung Octa LCD itself? // I did not install any new apps, nor me,nor "Samsung Service Center" did anything on the Software part of my SGS2 recently //
Currently, only two options for those Capacitive button key lights work :1) always on & 2) always off & i have opted for choice 2 to save the distraction from the glaring/disturbing light of the capactive buttons & mainly to save some battery power !
So,if any body else have a great idea to fix the light quick , i would be immensely thankful to all !
i think u should reflash stock firmware and see if that fixes it.
yeah, Zyfloss, as you said it & i also similarly thought...i reckon the problem has been solved as of now with thë flashing of the SGS2 official Stock JB 4.1.2 Rom,the capacitive lights now seems to be working normal,timing out automatically after 1.5 sec or 6 sec as i want it ! Anyway, Thanks to Everyone who saw my post, tried to help & replied ! :good:
I've bought this phone around february/march 2018. I've been using an LOS 15.1 unofficial rom last updated april/june which has been working perfectly, no problem besides no VoLTE but i don't mind this.
I booted the phone into recovery (longpressing power button, then selecting with touchscreen the "reset option". It turned and then couldn't select any button via touchscreen. The phone reseted itself by the first time and got into this! Now touchscreen don't work (so i can't turn it off -it just restart when I longpress for 5 secs the power button), can't unlock it because I set it to ask me the pin on every reboot..
As a sidenote, the phone fell of my desk like 2 months ago, and changed it's entire screen tile (the LED and the glass) for another one because the original one got shattered and made the device unusable. I'm thinking it's a malfunction of this module (or maybe something disconnected? Is this possible)
Anyway, tomorrow i'm going to ask the guy who changed it for help. BUT, is there any other possible fix guys? Or a hard keys combination to completely turn it off so I don't get more messages and save battery?
Thanks a lot!
Just flash stock MIUI via adb n it will work ?
