I'm using a G1 with cyan's 4.2.15.1.
For some reason some of the buttons stopped working:
*Call and Menu buttons don't work
*Trackball wont scroll
And when the trackball is pressed it causes the phone to power off.
I did a search but i couldn't find anything.
Anything anyone could help with? Has this happened to anyone before?
Tried reflashing and it didn't work, next step is a full wipe to see that helps.
Might be a hardware issue, but I have my fingers crossed.

Hello,
I was wondering if there is some way to track what is happening on my phone? Since my screen stops working when waked up from standby. i.e. if i press the button at the top to standby and then when i press it again and reach the lock screen the touchscreen is not working, it is simply not registering touch and neither are the 4 small buttons on the bottom (back, settings, home, search). However, the OS in itself is still running as I think since I can still see the time move and if I hold the off button the menu comes up for reboot etc.
Anyone heard of anything like this or any tips how to solve this? I am rooted and running CM6 I think at the moment.
Thank you,
Svarto

so the only way to escape this is by pulling the battery and rebooting? when you do reboot and dont go in standby, the touchscreen works fine?
You can check the issue using logcat and /proc/kmsg.
Also, you can read my threads on the subject, describing the same error with logs, and see if your logs are the same.
I'm currently trying to check if the error repeats itself after full wipe and starting from scratch. In the meantime it didn't show up until I applied a theme, and then after reflashing the ROM it's gone again - I'm still checking, only a day has passed.
Yes, the only solution is to pull out the battery and reboot. Then it works fine and I can go in and out of standby. I havent found a particular pattern to it happening so it is hard to reproduce.
I will have a look at that logcat and your other thread!
Just to guide you - when it happens to me, the phone gets stuck with mmc0 access that receives "CRC error" reply and doesn't go through. Pressing power button for a long time several times and playing with trackball / touching the screen between presses "releases" the "lock", and you'll be able to work with the phone again until you put it to sleep again. If you turn WiFi and BT off and then back on - the problem seems to disappear.
Hey, recently I was just using my phone and it wouldn't respond to any of my touches / screen presses. I tried doing a factory reset (using CM 7 stable), but it still doesnt work. The menu buttons arent working either, but the trackball works fine. If I press REALLY hard down on the screen it registers my input. Any idea what happened or how I can fix it?
Was playing with a phone just last night with a non-responsive touchscreen. Couldn't get past the "Touch the Android to Begin" screen after reinstalling CM7. I found that if I gently pressed and twisted the bottom of the phone around the trackball, the touchscreen would come back. Give it a shot.
Have you ad trouble with this from before? Try installing another rom with wipe
I've got a stock Bionic and noticed recently that the home button, when pressed, causes the screen to flicker but never go back to the home screen. This gets "fixed" sometimes if I pull the battery but not all the time. Also, my search button doesn't do anything when pressed either.
I'm confused as to what could have happened to cause these to buttons to stop functioning. I've tried a factory reset as well and that didn't work.
Anyone have any ideas on what the problem could be and/or what I could try to fix these issues?
Thanks!
This happend on my eris and I had to reflash the stock rom to get it to work again. Are you rooted?

Nope. I haven't had a chance to sit down and root the phone.
I was tinkering with the phone and I noticed one thing...if I disabled the pattern and pin lock (I tried it w/both) the two keys would function correctly. When I enabled the lock again they stopped working....weird!
I've been using CM9 on the touchpad for a long time without any problem. but recently, whenever I tried to reboot the pad by pushing the power bottom, instead of showing the power menu, I got the volume up menu. I can still use the power button to turn on/off the screen. So, it seems the hardware is still OK. I already updated to the latest nightly, still the same problem. Anyone knows what's going on and how to fix it? At least, is there another way to reboot the pad?
Thanks,
My wifes unrooted gs5 gets real laggy sometimes and the capacitve buttons won't work at all. Then all of a sudden they spaze out and go through all the times that you hit the buttons. Once that is done they still don't work. Only the home and power buttons work. Also, during this time sometimes the touchscreen doens't work either. The only way to fix is to reboot or pull the battery. Ayone having this same issue or have a solution? I've cleared cache and tried switching to ART already. Same thing happnes.
Thanks
