Home button suddenly stops working. - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
The home button on my sgs2 (I9100) randomly stopped working on a night out. It doesn't respond to any click (short, long, etc.). I am currently using an app to replace the home button but I'm unable to take screenshots or bring up my task manager now. My touchbuttons next to the home button still work perfectly. I have restored my phone to factory settings without any no result. My phone is not rooted btw.
I'm thinking about buying a new home button flex cable to try and fix it but I'm not sure whether that will fix my problem because the touchbuttons are still working. Maybe just the home button on the flex cable is broken so replacing it would fix my home button.
Any help or insights on the matter will be highly appreciated.

[Q] Broken home button

My home button stopped working after I used the phone in the rain a bit... Has anyone had any success in taking this apart to clean it? I've got button saviour running to replace it at the moment, which is OK, but not great.

[Q] Power button problem

Heey i have a problem with my power button. Had this problem before but it was gone after one day. The problem is my powerbutton isnt functionaly like it has to be. It changes from time to time.
Sometimes it doesnt work at all when i push the powerbutton.
Sometimes it works slowly. And when i have pushed te button couple of times, i get a phone with screen on, off, on off etc. Like it has lag or something.
When my powerbutton wasnt working yesterday, I saw that the button was pushed the whole time. I mean when you push powerbutton and homebutton you make a screenshot. If i only pushed the homebutton it was making a screenshot.
This things change from time to time. Any one got any ideas????
Im not even sure if its my button that is failing or it has to do something with software.
btw i already tried reflashing rom and kernel with no result.
thx in advance
It's the button, not the software that is the problem. Try taking off the back cover and cleaning out whatever dirt/lint that could be under the button.
i tried that already but it doesnt seem to work. Looks like i have to go back to stock rom for warranty. Hope this is going to be possible since my powerbutton isnt working.

[Q] home button isn't working

I can't figure it out my home button on my mega was just working properly, and now it's not. How do I fix this? The home button no longer wakes my phone up. When my mega screen goes off i must press the power button on the side to get my screen to turn on. Please believe me when I say the system settings are enabling it to wake device. I did install pimp my android hrs before this occurred and I've carefully gone back through the modifications and nothing .still having the same issue, please help.
From my metropcs samsung galaxy mega
While using the phone, after it has been woken up, does the home button work?
If no, its clearly a hardware problem
if yes, a factory reset might do the trick

900T - Home Button Not Working

I have a strange issue with the home button not working.
Originally I changed the front camera, rear camera, and mid frame.
I turned it on, and I found that the home button does not work, but the soft buttons did.
I changed the charge port daughterboard, and put in a new home button.
However, the home button still does not work. Everything else does.
Anyone have any ideas if I damaged the motherboard?
