I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 I9205 LTE running 4.4.2 Stock ROM
My Menu and Back keys works fine but only if I keep touching the screen or the soft keys but once I stop touching it for like 10 seconds the soft keys would stop being sensitive and I have to like touch the screen or tap the soft keys a few times before it works again.
Is this a software bug or am I having a hardware issue here? Mine has warranty void already. This issue persisted ever since I'm using Stock 4.2.2 I upgraded to 4.4.2 thinking it would resolve the issue.
I had this problem with the Back button - after a while I had to press it at least 4 times for it to respond. Or I have to press the Menu button for the buttons to light on and the Back button work again after this.
same here
Well im just glad im not the only one.. is thier any solution for this? I don't think it's a hardware issue

Done a search and can't find a solution...
With the 'easy to press' buttons on the HD2 the phone screen keeps powering on in my pocket (I use phone lock to stop auto dialling).
This is draining the battery...
Any way to stop this happening? Say, have just the power button only turn on the screen, after a long press for example???

Try settings / system / keylock settings. There are options to set the buttons as non responsive except for the power button.

I have this same issue and I've got a stock 3.14 tmobile rom but when I go to settings / system /, there is no options for keylock settings. is that on a custom rom?
+1 for this
From new my phone used to have the option of locking all buttons except the power key ... until I did my first hard reset, then it vanished! I would have thought the settings app would have been in the ROM, so restored after the hard reset, but obviously not.
Anyone have a cab for it or care to extract it from their HD2?
<quote>Try settings / system / keylock settings. There are options to set the buttons as non responsive except for the power button.</quote>
Nope, no such option on my HD2...
Seems we need 'keylock.exe'
Anyone got it and know if it will work in an HD2?
Ok, at least I know I'm not unique now...
i've installed Hd2ProximityScreenOff-0.2.cab which I guess turns the screen back off quickly if an "in-pocket" button press brings the screen to life. (can't confirm what happens in my pocket, but seems to do the trick in my hand)
but I'd really like to know if someone knows how to get to this keylock setting

Take a look at my signature. I'm using NRG ROM, which I highly recommend.

ahh crap, noob mistake. sorry.
any chance you can dig up where "settings / system / keylock settings" points?
maybe it points to something already in the stock rom?

i can install the stock rom update right from tmo, and install cabs and crap, but not yet ready to make the leap to customer roms (or android for that matter)
try pocketshield software. it has feature that turns your screen immediately off if its in pocket etc with proximity sensor, also its great and cool.
Wondering if someone can help, on my Xperia s when I am in my home screen or any other app and I press and hold the camera button it will launch the camera app.
But on my girlfriends Xperia s this doesn't work. (launching camera in lock screen still works)
Does anyone know where the settings for this is?
Thanks

Try launching the camera app, then click on Settings -> Quick launch

Tried that, but that seems to be the settings for launching from the lock screen.
Maybe due her launcher? It isn't a different configuration on the launcher?

I may not know the answer, but it's worth trying to re-flash the unit without wiping your user data.
The same thing for me! Quick shot works good.... but many times when i press the camera button with unlocked phone or in menu....the apllication doesn't start.....i must re-press 3/4 times.

This seems to be the issue I am having, pressing a few times eventually loads the camera. Have tried reflashing, and makes no difference.
One thing I have found was that in the service menu and software info it says no file found for memory card. And touch firmware version as 6, while my working Xperia s says 7
On my Xperia S i have file for memory card (in the service menu) and touch firmware version 7 also.... but the problem with camera app happens very often!

This looks like a software issue as the camera button works perfectly fine and quick launch for the camera works everytime when in the lock screen.
I have reflashed with different versions of firmware so I guess the memory card and the touch firmware versions are physically different hardware I suppose.
But this is just really bugging me at the moment!
Do you guys hold the button for like one second? Cause the camera starts only when i'm holding it a little.
Just touching the button has no effect in locked mode or on home screen for me.
Hi
Another problem... again... android... always some problem with it.
When i press "sym-au" key on phisical keyboard and scroll all the way down it freezes and stays there. It is possible to disable it, but it wont move, or clicking in any symbol has no effect completely unresponsive.
On virtual keyboard the same... blocking and unblocking device helps also restart. But its frustrating to remember about it. Is it any solution ? On stock rom there was no such problem.

Scroll the last part slowly (scroll it with your finger, don't fling it), it will stay responsive, if it does freeze, doing a rotation from landscape to portrait will make it respond again.

Thanks for tip. It helps.
So its known problem... this version of rom will be updated? Is there any way chance this will be fixed ?

NO, that ROM won't get any updates anymore, and the issue is present on just about all roms, apart from the original stock firmware. If it was easy to fix someone would have done that already, i guess, so i won't hold my breath.
Just think of it whenever you need something that's near the bottom, it's not that hard to live with.

I just wanted to have software completely bugs free if it was possible, your right its not hard to live with . Stock rom gave me more problems. thx bye.
I'm running cm10.2 right now, but this issue is independent of Rom. Right now about 30% of the time my capacitive buttons won't respond, and sometimes the recent apps button starts registering phantom touches all over the place and I can't do anything unless I turn the screen off and on again. I'd like to know if there's a way to completely disable the capacitive buttons, not just the backlight, and turn on the on screen buttons. Any help at all is greatly appreciated.

*BUMP* I have the same problem with my phone... Any fix for this? Running CM 10.1 RC. I have tried those scripts to disable the bottons so that I can use the softkeys, but they won't disable. Any ideas XDA?

I haven't been able to disable the hardware keys but I have activated the soft keys by adding this line to my build.prop
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
They work fantastically now. Hope this helps you too.

Turns your home button to touch and doesnt need to be pressed.:laugh::good:

Probably. It isn't working on CM12.1 (Unofficial) ether.

It works on latest ironrom
Probably only works on ROMs that support the fingerprint reader.
I think that app only works on Touchwiz roms. I use it on my Tab S and S6, both on Touchwiz.
2 features of this app (may require pro version?):
Long touch can do one of the following: camera, screen-off, Google Now, or home screen
When lock screen shown (before you input password/pattern/swipe to unlock), touch home button to turn off screen. Useful when you turn on screen to look at time only and want to turn off screen without pressing power button (reduce button use?) or letting screen timeout (save battery?)
The developer also has an app to double-knock/tap to turn screen on-or-off. I use it to turn-off the screen with a double-tap. Using it to turn-on screen consumes battery.
