Button "Back" isn't working

hi guys,
Yesterday i noticed that my "back" button on my S2 wount work,so i tried to fixed it.
Other keys worked perfectly so i thought that can't be hardware problem, must be software,but it wasnt.
I tried the factory reset,but my phone stuck at the samsung logo,so i flashed it again with a new FW...that didn't help for the button,but my phone worked again.Then i wanted to change the menu (right button) to be the back button,but i can't find any working app to do make the change...
Any help,tips and such would help me...if any one had the same problem and fixed him without taking him to the samsung service,please share your expiriance,
thank you in advance...:fingers-crossed:
Try changing your kernel?

Try button savier app.
Taking it to a repair centre might also do the trick.
BTW, it's in your other right.

[Q] Gear S refuses to reconnect to Note 4 !?

Folks,
Hope I can get help here before I have to send my S in for repair.
I have a Verizon Note 4 from Nov '14 and Gear S from a month ago. The S is an ATT from Samsung and worked fine until a few days ago. Now the S refuses to complete the Gear software installation it completed fine a month ago.
Did the Note 4 reset, reinstalled the Gear app, the Note 4 recognizes the S, the S acknowledges the 4 but never gets past the "waiting for the Samsung Gear app setup....
I waited overnight with no success.
I know the Verizon 4 may seem a mismatch with the ATT S, but it worked fine for over a month.
Any ideas?

go into the settings menu and select "Reset Gear"
Hard Reset
cipherswitch ,
I am unable to access the menu to reset the S but I did find a procedure to hard reset th S by pressing the power button for 10 seconds to enter reboot mode then press power button to bring up a selection of actions: ?, download; restore; power off. I selected restore to do a system restore to original.
Then attempted to reinstall the Gear osftware to the S. No luck. the Note 4 and S properly handshake but S hands up "Waiting for Gear setup".
It's going back.
Thanks
Id be more concerned as to why you couldnt get into the menu. Clearly we are missing some information here...

When your S was new, could you access the menu on the watch to go to settings to reset it?
This is how the S is behaving.

"Tap to speak" box won't close or go away

Hi guys,
I hope that this is the proper forum, if not please direct me to the correct one.
I am currently using a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6, non-rooted.
My problem started about 48 hours ago while I was voice dictating a test message.
I was doing my regular texting with the SwiftKey keyboard microphone (problem also replicates with the Samsung Keyboard as well) and the box at the bottom of the screen would not go away. I tried to X it out, hit the back button and the home button but nothing gets rid of it other than restarting the phone.
This all seemed to start happening after the Google App update.
I rolled back to the old version and it seemed to work fine. Last night, it updated itself again and problem was back.
I have included an image of what I am talking about.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very appreciative!
Thanks

I have to same issue that just happened and same as the screenshot.
Same issue...
This is so freaking ridiculous! A Google update that does this crap?!
I too own a S6 Edge Verizon 128GB and I noticed a couple of things.
If you bring up text to speak and then power off your phone.. Once you come back... you have locked it (Until restart)
I tried the following...
1) Reset the Dalvik Cache .. No luck.
2) tried force closing TTS and samsung text to speech.. no go.
3) Uninstalling latest update to the high quality voice. .. No Go.
4) Tried holding both buttons at the Same Time... No go..
5) For quibs and giggles.. Held down the close "X" for 5 whole minutes.
********************************************
What I think is going on is a time out error in the code.
So how i am able to get around it RARELY is..
Bring it up with the microphone button
Say what I need to say then hit the X to close it as FAST AS I CAN!!
I know that with all of our phone hackers, crackers and experts that we can ALL reach a Fix on this.
Damn Google...

One way I found that I can close it is by opening the menu that has active apps, then going to RAM, next turn the phone on its side (<--- yes do that), then hit clear memory a few times. And done its gone.
Thanks! That worked on my Sprint S4! (restarting phone has also worked for me, but this is easier.)
After holding down Home button to open the menu that has active apps, the options were still covered by the text to speak box. So I had to FIRST turn phone on its side to make visible the pie chart icon on bottom left, THEN then going to RAM tab and hiting clear memory a few times. When I turned it back to portait orientation, the text to speak box was gone. Thanks!
This has been happening to me all day long. so frustrating. I am also not the tech savy one in the house and hubby is not around. So thanks for the quick answer to get rid of it until he can uninstall the new update. Thanks
What is the pie chart menu option? What is the RAM tab? And will just be a little easier for Google to fix this? Lol
same problem here
Galaxy S6, same problem, started last night (September 24, 2015) . I do know that some updates were performed last night, not sure what. How do I uninstall the update? Which one is it? Help! I use voice typing constantly, and my phone is a brick when this thing locks up. It covers all my buttons. "Restart" doesn't clear it, I have to totally power off and back on. Right now, I have disable my voice key on my keyboard so that I don't accidentally touch it while waiting for solution.
Me too - just started today after some updates yesterday.
Same here....has anyone responded with a fix yet??
THANKS!
Glad it's not just me and my Note 3, but where does google get off sending out this kind of crap? It's enough to drive me to a windows phone.
Having the same issue only way I can get ride of it is to turn off my phone
same issue on moto droid mini; have to turn off phone too! poor QA google!!!!!
Me too. Galaxy S4. Have to shut the phone down and restart it to resolve the issue.
Piece of crap
Note 4 same problem started on the 24th
Same issue, Note 4
Same issue, Samsung Note 4.
Yep me too Verizon Galaxy s6

S6 edge back button not working after sleep

Hello everyone,
So my S6 edge back key started acting up couple of weeks ago. After the phone sleeps (not just screen off, after dozing) the back button stops working. After using for a couple of minutes it starts working again. Right now i am using 'all in gestures' as a back key replacement.
All suggestions for a permanent solution are welcome.
Thank you all.

I have seen in some forums some people doing it and not getting the results. I don't want to do a complete reset unless it will fix the problem for sure. I have tried resetting the settings and wiping the cache partition.
