[Q] i9000m back button randomly activating - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys, All of a sudden after flashing a couple of roms my back button spontaneously starting acting weird. It randomly "activates" and takes me back and vibrates whenever the phone is turned on. Has anyone seen this before? I've tried flashing a bunch of firmwares, and doing factory resets but nothing helps. Any ideas on how to clear the phone and reset it fully?

Go to the last page, there should be someone commenting on flashing the Touch HW again; basically you just use SGS's tools with your original firmware and then flash the Touch HW drivers again.
Check that topic and read throughout it.

Had the same problem, this seemed to fix it

Nope.... tried messing with the buttons in recovery mode and even flashing the firmware inside SGS tools. Nothing works. I still think it's a software issue because If I do a key test in CWR the button works like it should. =/ Hoping for some other ideas. Thanks for your help though.

Hmm. Just out of curiosity what are the versions of "phones touch key" and "parts touch key" in SGS Tools?
Sent from my GT-I9000M using Tapatalk

I already boxed up the phone and sent it back to the seller for warranty replacement but I think it was something like 0x02, and the version to update was 0x2. Does that make sense? I tried updating both, and SGS tools said the update was successful, but it didn't fix the problem.

Galaxy Note-Can't see screen but touching works. Help

Hi guys, My galaxy note isn't working properly.
I can't see anything on the screen. (Black screen) but touch works.
I can still see the lights on menu and back button. Phone itself works fine. I called the phone and slide pick up even though I can't see the screen, I can talk.
So basically screen has stop show images.
Any idea what it is?
What did you do?
Honestly I didn't do anything. I left my phone in my bag then couple of hours later it stopped working. Works fine in the morning.
Can you elaborate your Note's configuration? Which ROM, kernel, etc?

Phone is rooted, Running rocket ROM. Been running rocket ROM for almost 1 month. I didn't do anything before this happen.
and fyi, when I boot up the phone, still can't see anything, even with recovery mode.
Probably an SOD. Have you tried rebooting? Which kernel do you use?

I've tried rebooting, taking out battery and restart, tried going to recovery mode, anything I could think of.
I'm not sure about kernel. I can't check. But it's the kernel the comes with Rocket ROM.

Sorry mate, seems that your hardware is faulty and you need to send it back for repair.

When I rebooted my phone, I can still hear my unopened text messages notification sound. Buttons and touch are responsive.
and phone is rooted, doesn't that void the warranty?
this has happened to me a couple of times..
it happens randomly after trying to come out of sleep...the phone works fine after a reboot..
i wonder what this problem is??
thankfully it only happens once in a blue moon...
I'm on stock rom unrooted...

Do you have custom binary counter increment and/or yellow triangle?
Well if you can't see anything on the screen, they won't either, provided it is a hardware malfunction.
I bought this phone on eBay, and it's overseas seller. Do I contact Samsung or the seller?
You should contact the party responsible for the warranty of your product.
Well, if they find out that you are on custom ROM they could deny warranty.
Since it looks like your screen went off, PC odin should still work, unconditionally.
So just boot up the phone in download mode (vol down+ menu+ power), connect to PC odin and flash stock firmware relevant to your country and you are good to go.

Hey this does not mean that your screen works, sorry for my misleading reply.
That is just to be sure that you get the warranty.
still doesn't work. Gonna have to send it for warranty i guess...
and could this be like a loose plug/connector inside a phone?

Having trouble flashing roms on my phone...

Just thought i would ask if anyone else is having issue's with flashing roms through there cwm on there phone...
What i mean is i have been able to flash and try a few roms and i've found something i'm happy with but everytime i tried to flash it would take maybe 3 attempts the phone would freeze sometimes early on in the aroma process sometimes later on completely random i would have to hold the power button and reflash maybe 2 / 3 times before it would work..
I've never had this on any other phone htc or samsung...
Any ideas or does it just happen ???
All seems to be installed properly ie cwm / rooted etc, i know all phones are different and maybe its just my phone or do other people have issue's too ?
Thanks...
It's just Aroma... All we can do is be patient and use the volume and power buttons which seems to reduce crashes.

[SOLVED] My Xperia t touchscreen suddenly doesn't work anymore

Yesterday I went to a party, nothing wrong with the xperia t. When I got home I let it recharge. I think it still worked at that moment. Pretty sure it did. Went to sleep. Woke up. My phone battery was empty lol. Still in the recharger. Did some stuff, let it recharge some more. Got it to boot up again. Now touch screen doesn't work anymore . Tried wiping cache, factory reset. Still not working.
I have cm-10.1.3-RC2-mint installed. I think I might have to update it. This could be the problem.
Any more tips for if it doesn't work? never had this problem before. I hope it is a software thingy.
I updated the firmware but still doesn't work. I think im gonna re-install the stock firmware, and flash a stock kernel which will unroot my mobile. Any tips? please? I can't use my phone at all atm. It just stays at the cyanogenmod install screen..

I would like to try that thing with adb, but as I have already reinstalled cyanogenmod, developer options/debugging is turned off. I can't use ADB. Unless you know another way.
So this is totally getting out of hand.. (and I don't know if that is also a english expression lol).
I tried reflashing a stock firmware. Worked, but touchscreen still doesn't work. Then I noticed, that I now don't have cwm anymore... how the f?
SO I probably forgot to exclude the kernel. So now I tried reflashing a kernel with cwm, but flashtool doesn't recognize the kernel files... I don't know what is going on..
Ah already found the problem. Got cwm back phewww..
So here is what needs to be done. I want to try gregbradleys adb shell fix but my usb debugging is off and this means that I can't use adb, as I don't have touchscreen.
So, is there any way, any way at all, to enable usb debugging without touching the screen? Maybe a kernel with that settings automaticly set?
Im getting a bit angry at my phone now.. I didn't even do anything to break it in the first place. Just tried recharging it, and that killed the touchscreen? lol. Help will be appreciated. Im out of ideas.
Get a usbotg cable and attach a usb mouse
Then use that to turn debugging on
When you flash a stock firmware you lose recovery.

thanks, I'll get one tomorrow. I hope it will help. You've helped me before so im pretty confident that you fix my problem again haha. You are a boss.
A non responsive touch screen happened to me too after I flashed a wrong firmware. I flashed back the version that was on before, but it didn't help. Only after I flashed this (pretty old) version Xperia T - 7.0.A.1.303 Generic DE with Flashtool, the touch screen started to working again. I am not sure, maybe any ftf would work. But I know that I had success with this one.
You should try gregbradleys method first though. Funny, that your touch screen stopped working, without you modifying anything. Hopefully it's not a hardware problem.

hmmm, I tried this and it worked. problem solved. I did however not have wrong firmware installed, but it was an rc2 version of cm. So it can be unstable and stuff, but this was kind of a big problem.

Hey, glad your phone is ok again. I remember when that happened to me. I just had the phone for a couple weeks. Shat my pants, thinking I wrecked it. It worked out at the end, though. Feels good to recover a bricked phone, doesn't it.

[Q] Xperia SP multitouch problem?

Hey,
I just noticed that when I'm pressing the screen with one finger, then trying to hold another finger while still holding onto the screen, there is a small delay in recognising the 2nd finger...
This only happens after 30 minutes of usage, as the multitouch works just fine for a while after powering up.
The delay is not that much, but is enough to not recognise when I'm simply tapping the screen, which makes it impossible to play games like fifa 14 properly, since I have to hold down the button for a while to have a response...
I'm currently rooted, on stock 12.1.A.1.205, on the stock kernel.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
Yeah I also have multitouch problem.Can't play games that require multitouch(fifa,mc5 etc)
I think it is hardware problem
Quick question dude...did you try a factory reset?
I'm thinking of trying it but I don't want to lose my data without fixing it...
Can anyone confirm that this is a hardware problem?
I have the same problem, and I'm sure isn't a hardware problem because it started when I updated the phone to the 12.1.A.1.205 version.
I also have a problem with the back key, it works for a couple of clicks and it stop working until I press the home key. This happens after the update as well, before all has working fine. It's annoying!

I thought I was the only one with the back key problem. The multitouch one I never tested.
This is why I moved to CM11 (also because of ThemeChooser :silly: )

Sorry to ask this, but, what is CM11?
CM11 is a custom ROM (basically a whole new operating system). And it's based on android 4.4.4
I used to be on CM11, it is so good, but I prefer Sony's UI.
Also, thanks for the help. Since this isn't a hardware problem I'll try a factory reset and see what happens...

I don't think factory reset would work because I keep flashing different roms with complete wipe.
Apparently a factory reset didn't help...neither a firmware upgrade...
So it has to be another thing causing it....
Any other ideas?

Bad news with the reset then
I had to reboot my phone in safe mode (I think this is the name in English, "modo seguro" in Spanish) and the multitouch seems that doesn't fail in this mode. So I think is some program that is loaded with a normal boot which is causing the trouble.

Hmm But there are programs that start automatically. I killed every process I don't use, and I'm testing if it works.
I'm fresh out of a factory reset, so I don't really have any apps installed except titanium backup and es file explorer. I also killed every app except the ones that the phone needs to work properly....still no change.
After a random amount of minutes it works fine, without doing anything...
Also a question: How did you test it in safe mode? You can't have your downloaded app on safe mode to test it..

It's funny cuz the multitouch thing is actually working, but you have to hold the screen to do so not tap it. If u tap it it wont recognise ur finger
Any one got something before I actually give up on this?

The weird thing is that after rebooting from the safe mode to the normal mode and kill every app in execution that I don't use, it works. The multitouch and the back key is working. I have no idea what to think.

Sad news...
After trying everything, from settings to scripts and touch boosting apps, I left my hopes on changing the ROM i use...
I had a stored backup of my 4.3 stock rom in the past. I restored it today and the problem persists...
I also flashed a fresh new build of cyanogenmod 11, which I used in the past aswell. No help...
I can now conclude that this is a hardware problem.
But what I don't understand is...why does this only happen after 30+ minutes of usage of the phone?
I mean it works perfectly fine on games when I start up the phone...
Thanks to everybody for the help...
