[Q] Lagging or weird hehavior found on my buttons

I have been having this weird problem for over a month now.
Virtual Button gets stuck as if im touching it rapidly. it happens randomly too. for example, after a reboot i was using xda app. After hitting "back" button, its button backlight goes off and doesnt respond. Everything else still works but the button gets stuck like that for 20second.
Sometimes when im watching a movie without hording it, quick option pops up as if i have pressed the button next to home button.
anyone else with this issue???
I have 2.1 stock rom uptodate with kies, ryan lag fix, and realook screen protector on it.

This just started happening to me (literally 15 seconds ago) and I want to find out what's going on.

same thing happens to me. But after pressing the central button, the buttons reappear. strange weird
I do not install any lagfix or change the rom, I have my Samsung Galaxy S as a wine factory

I just started to have exactly the same issue with my Vibrant.
Any follow up on this?

Well, one thing i wanna ask you guys is that how many apps do you have installed on your system? Im actually having less of this symptom these days as i have uninstalled dozens of software. Not sure if that was the issue tho.

I deleted few apps which I installed in last few days and so far so good....but its just few minutes of use yet!
Specifically deleted "Noled".

Still getting lag with BACK button. Though it happens once or twice a day....very weird!
I have been using Samsung Vibrant for 3 months now and this problem just started two days back.

I'm having problems with buttons going off by themselves now. Browsing the internet or writing a message, the menu pops up by itself; Its annoying and its starting to get worse. I'm starting to wonder if I should trade in my phone; this is my third phone.
// galaxy s

I too have this exact same issue with my i9000m. Stock rooted rom with voodoo lagfix. Uninstalled everything, factory reset, clear cache, unroot - nothing fixes it. I have a replacement phone on backorder that will be replaced no questions asked thankfully.
Sounds like it's a somewhat common problem.

now this is getting irritating! seems like an issue with only Bell version I9000M. Couldn't find this problem any where else on web.

did a hard reset and before loading any apps..... played around with phone and found the same lag with back button!

After looking at your replies, it seems like these two factors are causing this strange button lag:
+Bell Mobility
+2.1 Éclair
Can we confirm please? Are you all using Bell & 2.1 with the issue?
Hopely Froyo can fix this issue. My phone was alright for couple of weeks but it came back worse than ever!
I’m starting to hate Samsung more than ever for the lag of updates & lies.

it might be only with some phones
i'm on i9000m as well, 2.1 stock, but i do not have the button problem you guys are describing.

AllGamer, I think you're the lucky one when it comes to your Galaxy. I'm curious if this issue happens to phones running custom roms or the official froyo release.

On stock firmware i9000m and OCLF with root. Im getting a huge lag (10-15 seconds) whenever I hit my home button. Using launcher pro but the problem only popped up yesterday.
Checked watchdog and it only shows 4mb free BUT task manager shows 65mb free. Any thoughts?

You're not the only ones with the issue. Look at this guy using a Bell SGS on youtube (apologies if this is one of you guys )
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JBe0txXobwY
Also, its not just the Bell SGS, my AT&T Captivate does it on the Menu key and its very very annoying. Theres a similar thread in the captivate forum and no doubt, on in every SGS forum as they all use the same touch panel.
If its very common, which seems to be the case, could it be related to dust ingress into the touch panel?

Disabled Quickdesk (glcery handy app), left the office early, and now everything works great. Not sure which one worked....
I was getting a black screen for 5-10 seconds every time i pressed the home button. Anyone else with quickdesk issues? Suggestions?

I factory reset my phone and then un-rooted it just for the sake of testing out some ideas. It didn't help at all and the problem persisted for awhile until I found something interesting;
If you are having the buttons 'stick' or malfunction, go to recovery mode via 3-button. Once you are in there, start pressing your soft keys (I did this for 10 minutes straight when my buttons were sticking).
Tell me how your buttons respond, do they stick or not? We could determine if it's software or hardware.

I thought the buttons didnt respond in recover mode...

They light up and respond to touches; if you press the menu key it actually removes and restores the recovery screen.

[Q] Keeps backing up without pressing anything

So I just got a brand new Galaxy S after my old one bit the bullet, and now within 2 days of owning my new one it keeps backing out of everything. It's like the back button is being pressed every few seconds. So no matter what application I am using it won't stay open. Any answers?

Mine is doing the same thing, the home button also gets stuck occasionally. I called tech support and supposedly they are sending me another replacement.

Same here
My third phone did the same thing after I upgraded to froyo. I was ready to take it back but I tried doing a factory reset (dialed the reset number) and after a couple more of the phantom button preses it just stopped and has been okay for a week or so now.
Not the best way to fix it but at least I didn't have to have it exchanged again... yet.

So you say that you upgraded to froyo and now it.s only backing up
Maybe you have to upgrade to android 2.2.1 nobody knows what improvements there are in 2.2.1 maybe we have just found the awnser
Try and report back i want to know
And a last option is to go to the shop were you bought it maybe they can help
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

Mine has been doing it on 2.2 and several 2.2.1 roms actually. The reset did fix it for a day or so but it came back.

ok, that's weird
One thing to do left go back to the store or contact with
Samsung service & repair

Weird home button glitch

Ok so I just encountered the strangest glitch ever on my phone. I was in my text messages and all of a sudden my phone kept vibrating and I noticed that the hone button led was flashing as if I was touching it but I wasn't so it takes me home. Has anyone encountered this before? Its happeneded to me once on my old captivate but not as often as on this refurbished running stock jh7

I had this happen once, with the first rom I flashed, but mine was the search button doing it. All I did was flashed to a new rom and I was fine.i may have been on cog when it happened, but not sure.I've been running fine on serendipity 4.3 though

In fact, I sent my old Cappy back in the mail today for this very reason! Did the warranty process. Mine did it ever since I got it(4 months or so). It was very intermittent. What made me finally have it replaced, was when I didn't wake up on time for work because as my alarm was going off, the home button was "pushed" and it silenced my alarms..... Can't have that happening.
Anyways, now I have a refurb and haven't had the problem in the 3 days that I have had it.
Good luck man, but my suggestion is, if you are still within warranty, get that sucker replaced!

Thanks, Yeah, i just encountered another strange issue, i plugged my phone in was transferring music, and unplugged (did the proper steps), it then told me that my internal storage was corrupted. rebooted and now its fine.
Its happening more often on this phone (the button glitches). Its kind of annoying me now. If it continues im going to have to call att again or go to a store and take it.

The home button thing happened to me - on my first replacement phone. I immediately got a replacement for the replacement. I highly recommend you do the same.

Happened to me too, got the phone replaced BC the captacive buttons went crazy and the phone was nearly unusable. I had zero issues having it replaced too, just go to an att repair center.

This is something I to an curious about it has been happening to me for a couple of weeks but it is the magnify glass search button. It will randomly click its self. I thought it might be a problem with my screen protector but even after changing it I am still experiencing the problem

I have the same problem when I am running stock firmware with the "Search" softkey. It's quite annoying. I guess I just gotta stick with Andromeda.

probably it is a rom issue. try another rom.

This started happening to me right after I flashed Perception 10.2 and Firebird 0.4 kernel. It never happened before that. It has persisted through all Firebird kernels since then.
I even caught it happening once on the "back" button, but only once. It happens on the Home button at least once a day, usually more than once.

Touch Screen (Goes Nuts)

Well a little while now my phone been reacting on it's own. Keep going haywire as if some sort of bug/virus infected the phone.
Also i notice sometimes when i connect the USB it chimes like a bird for several minutes.
I been looking up to see if anyone has the same issues and seen that some call it ghost screen and only way to get rid of it is hard mod or replacement.
But i only seem to get this issue the day i install a process manager which had 3 processes which i notice that sort of vanished from the menu. So i'm not sure if this has cause the issue with the phone.
So i went ahead and installed GoT and CyanogenMod which boot up nicely btw.
But still i get the USB Chimes going crazy once in a while and half the screen is is no responsive . I can't even unlock the phone using touch screen. Cause the sec i swipe to almost the middle of the screen it stops. But at least the random ghost touch thing is gone i think.
Anyone know my issues? Before installing i did wipe/reset/everything.
Could it be my firmware is corrupted? But doesn't that get refreshed when i install the got/mod?
I wish to get my phone re-installed to a fresh status like go back to a fresh copy of 2.1 to see is that works how do i do this?

That was how my phone acted before I lost functionality of part of my touchscreen.
To go back to stock, flash a stock sbf using rsdlite. Sbf's can be found here. Use the non service versions.

Exactly my problem. Is it the left side right up to the top? I cannot use the back button nor any icons on that column.
It is a hardware problem.

Sounds like you need to replace the digitizer?

I had my touch screen going crazy. Couldn't use my phone at all no matter what rom. Flashing it back to stock didn't work either. I put it in the oven as per other thread and it's been working over a month now.

Dunno if this is relevant, but had same issue when i was using cheap but extra small chinese charger

It is relevant, because if I use wall sockets without grounding (@countryside, par example) it goes nuts while charging. Same sh*t happens when connected to USB, no matter if the PC/laptop is plugged in a grounded wall socket.

I'm going through the same problem. There is like a line in the screen where nothing works, it's around the 5th home screen page (I can't select it). Since I have this phone for almost two months, I'll try checking with authorized support.

Odd Touchscreen issues

Hey,
I have Verizon droid 3 running up in Canada, and its been working fine...however it recently started having issues with the touchscreen.
Basically the screen works normally 3% now, otherwise it only works when the keyboard is open to just above the first row of keys.
If I touch the screen while the keyboard is fully open it wont respond, but when I go back to the working position it will respond to a touch made while fully open (ie; I pressed ok after typing, it didn't submit until I closed the keyboard to the working position, like a delayed response).
It seems like a software issue, but I already hard reset.....
Any ideas? I don't want to change this phone after only 5 months (no Verizon warranty here!)..
Thanks,
--CP

Which ROM are you on, stock or a custom one?

Its a long shot, but I have odd touchscreen issues when plugged into cheap power sources (inverters, etc). You may want to check the battery - pop it out for a bit, put it back in, maybe try someone else's, etc...

Oh ok, then I'm not really sure. I would, if you want, try and flash right back to complete stock and see if your having the same troubles. If you are then it's almost guaranteed to be a hardware problem. However, if the problem doesn't persist then it could have just been some weird bug or glitch that happened. I've had some weird things happen a week or so after a flash and it was software related.
But all this would be having you do a reflash either through CWM/Safestrap or sbf and then you lose everything you have (Though you can backup & restore apps via Titanium Backup). So if you don't end up reflashing I understand
Also does this happen only at certain times/intervals say when your charging? Hope this helps!
Edit: I looked at the orig post at work and forgot to look at it again. A hard reset should be able to fix it, but you never know. I would recommend a reflash and see what happens. Sorry I can't be more help

I hate you. I read your post yesterday and thought "huh, that's really weird and unfortunate." I woke up today and the same thing is happening to me. I haven't flashed anything since April. It was totally out of the blue.
Mine only works when the screen is slid open bout half a centimeter, not even enough to force the screen to rotate.

That's exactly what's happening....It's been like this for a week. However, it sometimes works when I left it for the night to charge...or randomly, but full functionality lasts only a few minutes.

has there been any update on this status? im trying to fix a friends with the same problem.

I'm in the same train
It's strange.
Yesterday my touchscreen it was completely unresponsive the whole day.
stock rom, everything untouched
i rebooted it a million times. closed or open make no difference.
today, it is working amazingly
what was the difference? nothing at all! it layed on my desk all night
i don't understand how the digitizer can go between perfect condition and not working as it wish.
