Hi guys,
A couple of months ago my soft buttons stopped responding and not lighting up (even in recovery). However I flashed the Omega rom again, restored by backup and they worked.
Now it has happened again. Tried a mega wipe, flashed Omega v51 and they were not working.
Any ideas before I return to stock?
Cheers.

Flashed that. Still not working.
To the service centre?
Do the buttons working on other ROMs?

Don't even work with Philz Touch Recovery. They also don't light up during boot.
Looks like hardware issue. Warranty.
An update for anyone else with this issue...
Took it to my local Samsung service centre and it has been returned fixed. They apparently 'cleaned and adjusted the contacts' for the soft buttons.

Hi,
I flashed my x10a with latest flashtool with 2.3.3 firmware. The flash was successful, but after the flash it's screen touch is no more working. I thought that there might be problem with the firmware that I used, so I again checked with many firmwares, but none of them solved my problem.
Then I tried to repair my phone with Pc Companion, it says that no software is available for my phone. Also I tried with Sony Update Service, this also said no software for my phone.
I am tired now. I tried all the methods that I found on internet. Isn't there any solution for me now? I know that It's not a hardware problem because before flashing its screen was working without any problem. I know you guys here are expert in android problems. So hope you will help me in this problem? I am from Nepal. There isn't sony service in my country. What is the solution for me? I need your help....:crying:
could you tell us exactly what you flashed with flashtool ?
and what i understand is that your phone DOES work it fully loads up but not responding to your touchscreen ?
and any other info on what you might have flashed ?
it could just be freezing (so it seems like its not responding)

Bro thanks for your reply, I flashed X10a_2.1update1_r2.1.A.0.435_Generic.ftf, X10a_3.0.1.G.0.75_AMERICA-US GENERIC 1233-8200.ftf, and few more firmwares like this. I used flashtool-0.8.0.0-windows_2.exe to flash the phone. Ya you are right my phone DOES work it fully loads up but not responding to my touchscreen
Keys are working well, volume keys, back keys all are working. After flashing finished option comes to choose the language and I can't go ahead than that because screen touch will not work.

did your touchscreen worked on 2.1 firmware
as im googling for this problem EVRYTHING leads to software problems.
for example this post
"''The touchscreen on my phone stopped working. Everything else is working (buttons), except the touchscreen. It shows everything but I can't do nothing with my finger.. I've had this problem before, but then it could be fixed by simply taking out the battery and rebooting that way. This time that didn't work. First thing that I tried was factory resetting the phone, clearing all caches, etc. Touchscreen still not working after booting. Then I flashed SonyStyle V1.1 touchscreen still not working. Then I 'repaired' it with SEUS, touchscreen was working fine.""
so the best thing you can do right now is use SEUS to get back to original firmware.

There seems to be a weird issue with my Galaxy S3.
I had installed the Omega ROM v36 (upgrading all the way from v23 i.e 24,25.. serially) without wiping the data.
The phone was working fine until a few days back. Then suddenly the phone used to hang(like old nokia phones).
I tried calling the sim number and the call was going through but wasnt getting anything. The screen just stood there.
And then i had to reset the phone (Power 8 seconds) every time it happened.
Today I wiped the data and freshly installed the ROM. The same issue still exists.
It is really irritating. and even after reset-ing the phone the phone hangs the same way!
Please help someone.
Should I go back to stock? Something else?
Please!

But the problem is since v34!
I tried installing every update.
Nothing helped!
And which SD do I need to format? internal or external?
Did you experience this screen problem before the custom rom? Lets hope its not a hardware problem.
Try formatting your internal SD. Don't think your ext SD could affect it, though eject it just in case. Return it to stock as much as possible.
Hey Guys,
I use a stable 10.1.3 CM since a year on my S2. Lately the camera started to quit qorking: "can't connect to camera".
About this time the torch (LED app) app did the same thing: "unfortunately torch has stopped".
What I did: do a full data/cache/dalvik cache erase: factory reset.
The camera/torch still malfunctioning.
Then flashed the last nightly CM: cm11-20140429, but still no luck.
Then reflashed the old stable version, maybe if it'll work, but noooo.
Do you have any suggestion to resolve this issue? My phone is 2 years old, never had a problem with it. Until now.
Shall I flash something via Odin?
Is there a "deeper" way to rewrite the camera/LED firmware/code/whatever?
(I was wondering if flashing these 2 CM versions the appropiate firmware's aren't rewritten)
Thanks in advance for the replies!
you can try more ROMs. However, there is a possibility that its a hardware issue.
The camera stopped working on my galaxy S1 after a factory reset.
I never did get it working again, and I tried about 4 different camera firmwares, flashing back to stock, and replaced the camera module too. Nothing worked.

Sorry to hear that.
I'm wondering now to replace the camera module as well.
I quickly tried this 3 ROM: aosb_kk_1.3.6_i9100, omni-4.4.4-20140728-i9100-NIGHTLY, Slim-i9100-4.4.2.build.5-OFFICIAL-4068, but with the same disappointig result: no camera, no LED.
If I first start LED/torch isntead of camera, the LED sometimes flashes:
I switch on, but nothing happens. Then switch it off: after a few sec delay the button will show the "off" state, and during this process the LED flashes for 1 sec.
I will try to revert to stock with odin, maybe...
The camera module is very easy to change. All you have to do is unplug it and plug a new one in.
You might be luckier than me.

Yes, but what if the same thing will appear? Ie. I'll change the camera module, but won't work.
Isn't there an easier way to check if surely the camera moduled is dead?
Btw I downgraded it to stock ROM via Odin, but camera still dead, so it is probably not a software error. :crying:
There's no way of telling if your camera module is broken without putting a new one in.
It didn't fix it for me though. And believe me when I say I spent a lot of time trying to figure it out.
Ok then.
Thank you very much for the support!
Hi,
I had a Lollipop (I think 5.0) installed on my S5, and all of a sudden my 2 touch keys from each side of home button stopped working! Unfortunatelly It's not a problem with lights, they didn't react at all.
What I did was making a backup first, then factory reset the phone, installing the new software (G900FXXXUCPE2 6.0.1), rooted the phone (CF autoroot), restoring my data and it was fine....for a short while until same thing happened again.
I rooted my phone again and after it was fine....for a few hours, then I did it again, it was ok for a few hours again. This seems to be a software problem, but I have no clue what could cause this.
It's anoying to live without this 2 keys, and rooting the phone all over again.
Anyone has a clue?
