Hello
My Recents key randomly stopped working, actually both the Back and Recents key started not working and after pressing the buttons repeatedly from frustration the Back key suddenly started working again but didn't have the same luck with the Recents key. May someone please help me.

So when I broke my s5 and self repaired it, I ripped the multitask button, so I can't force close my apps without going to one handed operation and touching the button there. I'm thinking that this might be a problem if I flash to CM11 or 12. Will I still be able to go to one handed operation, or will and is there an app that will allow me to go to my recent apps?
If you have a custom ROM on, you should be able to map another key to that function. For example, I mapped my recents key to short press - menu and long press - recent apps, and mapped long press home button for screenshots. You could try mapping long press on back key to recents.
It's been a while since I posted a question about my HOX+ but this is weird.
I was on the phone, after a wet shower (it was an emergency call). My cheeks were a bit wet. Anyway once I finished with the phone call, I tried using my navigation buttons, but none of them would light up/vibrate/ do anything. I couldn't press on the home button, or back, or menu/recents. But the volume and power buttons worked. I went to the Recovery, then went to "Advanced" "Key test" , Pressed volume up and down and it wrote "Key: 114/115" and then I pressed on power button "Key: 116" but pressing on the home button/back/recents buttons doesn't return any response even in recovery. Pressing everywhere on the screen works totally fine too saying "Key: -216545121646" EXCEPT about 1 cm above the physical area.
Since I am on Carbon Rom, I was able to add a navigation bar, but even that doesnt work! I can't press on any buttons in that onscreen navigation bar. But holding it and swiping up reveals the "Ring" .
ROM: CarbonRom 4.4.4
Recovery: CWM Touch

Hey guys, I was editting the Generic.kl and build.prop to disable the capacitive keys and enable on screen keys and I did everything right ( I did this a few weeks back and it worked perfectly) but then my home button, back, and recents button stopped working. My volume and power buttons don't work either so I can't click home to go back to my home screen and I cant power own my device. Does anyone have any ideas what to do? Will a factory reset do anything? Thanks
EDIT: Nvm guys, I fixed it by using NFC on my Nexus 6 to beam a restart app to my GS6 so I could install it through the Play Store and opened the app straight through the Store and the restart fixed it.
Has anyone experienced the HOME key acting as a back key? The button just started acting up out of the blue. When I press the Home button, the phone behaves as if i pressed the back button instead of taking me to the Home screen.
Ive already tried editing the key layout files "generic.kl", Flashed different stock roms and I'm out of ideas on how to fix this. Any help and suggestions are welcomed. Thanks.
I'd not noticed this before but it seems the RN3 left hand button is a recents button on press and a menu button on long press. This prevents the handy split screen feature from working in CM14 and above on this button. I can get this feature to work by adding a "Long press action" to the home button in settings however I would like it to work the same as my other Android devices.
Any thoughts on how this can be changed? I've had a mess in the keyboard layouts (where I also removed the long press on fingerprint to start the camera as it's annoying) but no luck with this.
Thanks.
EDIT: After changing the values again in Settings->Buttons this now seems to be working as it should. Odd.
