Navigation buttons stop responding! - Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

From time to time the navigation buttons stop responding.
No light, nothing at all.
If I wait for a while they respond sometimes but they really works well after I reboot the phone.

Problem with buttons

I have a strange problem that hasn't been reported.
My volume buttons, my phone- & my menu-button won't work from time to time.
I have moments that everything works properly, but normally all four of them don't react( no backgroundlight also).
And one more extra with this, when the buttons won't work, sometimes the Hero thinks that i'm pressing the volumedownkey numerous times. That means that he puts himself in vibrating mode en keeps vibrating, i can stop this by going standby or pushing a working button. Sometimes it stops, sometimes it starts again after two seconds.
Hope to have someone who can help
sounds like a hardware issue to me. what did you do to make sure these problems aren't related to some software you have installed?

[Q] HTC TD2 and FRX07.1 - waking phone?

Hi,
i'm refering to this thread.
I installed FRX07.1 and i'm absolutely thrilled - it works fine and accelerated my phone to light velocity .
Only problem: To "wake" the phone, after the display turns off, i have to press the power switch several times. i can't see any regularity how often or how long i have to press the button in order to wake the phone. sometimes the display lights up after pressing the button a few times, but then turns dark immediately.
Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks a lot!

[Q] Long press problem on touch screen

Hello, I am having a problem with my touch screen during games.
When a have a game, like a race game, that a have to hold two buttons at the same time, one of them stop working. I need to stop my game all the time, wait a long to it return working and continue.
Does anyone have the same problem or know how I can resolve it?
I have the same problem too, but eventually i just do a workaround, that i don't press it continuously. after 15 second or so, quickly release and tap back again. Good driving means that accelerate button is not pressed all the time you know
I don't think this is the reason but, when it happens to me I just cool down the screen and it woks imediatlly.

Hard reset..

Is it just me or does it take a while sometimes for the phone to reboot while holding down the power button after, say, Aroma freezes? Sometimes it's quick and others it just blinks the capacitive lights at the bottom and does nothing.
It's not just you.

Soft keys - Slow response

Hello !
A couple of weeks ago i managed to put my galaxy s3 in the wash maschine
The good news is that the phone was fully functional after i took it out of the wash maschine (data was not washed away )
The second day the soft keys as also the led behind them stop working. I opened the phone and cleaned the contacts.
After booting the phone the soft keys started to work again (not the led, but i do not care about this).
The problem now, although the buttons seem to work, they do have a really slow response sometimes. For example i notice that i can press like 5 times a second the button (back button for example) and the button response once every second only. I have noticed that this situation is kind of random. For example if i change the led duration of the soft keys or lock and unlock the phone, the buttons do respond completely fine. After i lock and unlock the phone again, the buttons again start to respond once every 1 second. Let me note here something. There is no delay in the action, meaning that i press the button and something happens after 1 second , it means that i can press the button and nothing happens, it accepts the command after 1-2 second key pressing.
First i thought that this is more like a software issue. So i tried following which none of the above seem to fix the issue:
- Reset the phone
- Installed 4.4.4 android port
- Deleted /data
Any suggestions that i could further try (except of installing a new rom again). I am kind of confused as i do not know anymore if this is a hardware or software issue.

Hello and thank you for your reply.
I am aware of this option. Unfortunately i tried this once but i do not like how some apps change (including contacts) as also how the buttons take over so much space of my screen.
