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.
My phone was working just fine and randomly the lock button stopped working and the home button brings up the power screen! This is extremely frustrating, any help would be great!!

I cant explain why its happening if u didnt changed anythink in the system but i recognized myselfe that sometimes phones get rally messed up without any explanation...
i would suggest to backup all data u need (for instance sms call log....) and just make a simple hard reset
if thos does not work search in the forum how to flash a stock rom on ure phone
this will make ur phone become the status it had when u just unboxed it
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.

I am on resurrection rom 5.0.5 (kitkat 4.2.2)
Everything was working fine but suddenly the menu button has gone all crazy. Whenever I hit the menu button, it sends me to the screen displaying get google now. I tried reflashing rom and reflashing gapps. but no use. Can anyone help me sort out this problem?

Try using CyanogenMod 11, SlimKat, OmniRom, Cyanfox, BeeanStalk, or any other KitKat based ROM just to make sure whether Resurrection Remix was causing the weird problem. If using a new ROM didn't solve your issue and you feel that the menu button is damaged, simply use a rom which supports a Navigation Bar to replace your hardware Navigation buttons. Good luck pal
are you sure ypu are not long pressing the button ? check you settings under buttons if you have by mistake set any custom actions for your buttons .. all the best and happy flashing
Forget about software tweaks that replace the physical buttons, These virtual buttons are only ever going to be any use as a backup for physical buttons...and then ONLY if you have a fully functional phone......
Get the button replaced......
If you end up in a bootloop, you'll need to access recovery or download to sort it out......a "virtual" button ain't gonna help at that point............

Are we talking about the touchscreen menu button or the physical home button?

Looks like this time I read it wrong.....
I think he's on about the capacitive touch button on the bottom left of the phone......NOT needed for recovery or download modes......

Hey. Thank you guys. I sorted out that problem. I did not recieve notification so sorry for late reply. I don't know how but the function was changed for short press of capacitive button. Its all good now.
Once again. Thank you
Flashed a few roms and still no success with the touch screen.
After a reboot the pad works well and so does the touch screen, then the touch screen stops comes back then stop responding.
Any ideas? Original Rom had the same issue hence why I flashed it. The volume and power buttons always work. When it stops responding the power button brings it back to life?
Any advice would be great.
Thanks in advance.
