Hi, I have had the i9000m unlocked and have been using it with Rogers for a couple of months now. I just flashed bell's 2.2 with kies late last week. Overall, the phone seems fine, but one thing I've noticed is that the back button doesn't always go back; it often will activate the screenshot functionality -> i.e. i press the back button and the back button light turns off and if i press the home button, i end up taking a screenshot...i've had to remove the battery and restart...but this seems to happen randomly.
From a quick google, it seems that when one holds down the back key and presses the home button, the phone should take a screenshot, but this happens even when i just 'click' the back button; i don't even hold it down.
Anyone encounter this or have a fix for this issue?
Thanks in advance.
(not rooted or using any lag fix on 2.2)
Ok, goto your dialer and type the following:
*#*#2663#*#*
Then click Touch key FW update.
Let me know if this fixes the issue for you too,
I had the same issue and after doing this I haven't seen the problem in a number of days.
This may or may not work, I have found this menu on my own and don't know if it will solve anything

i noticed recently that if i press the power button, it sometimes takes a really long time to turn the screen on. i know the hardware works because the backlight in the soft buttons turns on immediately, but the screen remains black for up to 10 seconds. this happens rarely. however, im fairly sure it isnt a software problem because ive wiped completely and installed a fresh rom and the problem seems to persist. perhaps i just recently noticed, and the problem was always there? does anyone else have this problem?
three threads above yours.

could be a hardware issue.
Mine does this every few days.. I am still on the stock 2.1 rom.
Mine also does this, I only noticed it after flashing Cyanogenmod 5.0.6. so I thought it might have been a bug. I also assumed it was a bug because the phone seems to act strangely when you are touching the screen and try to hit the power button.
Hopefully this isn't a hardware issue, I've had the phone since release.
Is anyone else experiencing similar issues?
It happens to me as well, but very infrequently. Maybe every few days... so it doesn't bother me enough to worry about it.
I'm on stock ROM btw.
I am leaning towards thinking this may be software related. A few minutes ago I was at the lock screen and tried about 50 times (yes I waited long enough after each press) and simply could not get the screen to turn off. I then tried long pressing the power button and, sure enough, each time it would bring up the shutdown menu (yes, over the lock screen). Must be a bug right?
Hmm, my problem's slightly different. Around half of the time, I have to press the power button twice to turn the screen on. Sometimes, pressing it the first time doesn't turn the screen on, had to press the power button firmly again.
This started only recently. On stock n1 and bought it during feb.
that means that your power button is dying, like many others' (including mine)
this is the first time, it takes 2 clicks to work....than it will increase.
Expect a repair soon...
Well i am having the issue other way around. i am not been able to put my phone in stand by mode by clicking on it and it is do a hard press then i get options to shut off the phone
any suggestions what might be causing it ?
I'm happy I haven't received this problem yet

I am having the same issue and i wonder if you were able to find the cause for it. I have the same rom as you do on your phone

I have a similar problem. When I unplug the N1 from the charger, the screen comes on showing the lock screen, and I can't get it to turn off. If I unlock the phone, however, then the power button works normally. I don't think it was doing this until recently (I bought it in January the first day it was offered and am running the stock update1 ROM).
So here is my theory if the power button is a problem then it needs to act up both ways and not only one way. right now i can put the phone in sleep mode but i can wake it up. i will post the issues on the development forum and might be able to find an asnswer to it
So seems like the issues is because of Cyanogenmod 5.0.6 because since i have flashed another rom it is working just fine. i will be doing some more testing before i can be certain
Another problem I am experiencing is when I long press the power button, it pulls up the phone options menu but also turns off the screen. It's extremely frustrating as it does this quite frequently; right after I power on the screen again and unlock the device it works properly every time - so much so that I am convinced this is a software issue.
I am now running froyo, rooted with Cyan's minor root patch. I can also say for sure I experienced the same problem on CM 5.0.6, but it definitely occurred less frequently.
Am I alone here?

I just started having this problem after upgrading to 2.2.
I have this every so often. But sometimes wonder if it is flyscreen doing it
You guys should all just be running the app no lock to take the power autumn out of the equation.
Ahhhhh! I just need trackball wakeup!
I have a similar issue where my screen will turn on but will be unresponsive. When i turn it on and off, the backlight jut comes and goes. If it times out it won't turn back on for a bit(the backlight will come on still).
I just wiped my phone, hoping that'll fix it since it only started happening on a regular basis since I updated to Froyo
I have a strange problem, the call button and the home button work perfectly, also the arrow up, down and left do their job,
but if i press the back button, end call or right arrow button (i need to press really hard to get some sort of respone) all of them work as the back button, no matter where i click on the right side of the navi board.
when i try to call somebody, the end call button works only if i press it about 2 seconds after the call button, but once the call is conected it won't work, neither when i hold it, it's just not working, and the right arrow button i need to press about 50 times to move right, and then another 50 times...
i tried to reflash another ROM, but the problem still remains
did anyone have a similar problem?
Is this this a software of hardware problem?
Did anyone manage to solve this problem?

To exclude, that this is a software problem do the following:
1. shut down the phone
2. take the battery out for a few seconds and insert it again
3. flash the original latest version of your provider rom (if it's a xda diamond, then flash the latest O2 rom, and so on if it's orange, t-mobile, vodafone ...)
4. after you setup the rom, make a hard reset
5. now have a look; does the issue persist? If yes, then it's shurely a hardware problem
Hi,
I have Galaxy I 9000 and I am having some issues with it. I rooted my Galaxy to CM10 and usually it works fine, but once in while for some reason it seems like the screen is getting pressed on the bottom of the screen - if I have app. in the bottom of the screen it gets open automatically and continuously pressed inside the app. If I press on the home button then the touch is not working at all and the only way to stop this is to press on the right side button (menu button) which close the screen and press it again to reopen it (or reboot).
I tried to understand why it happens and thought that it might be related to the CM10 - so I replaced it with CM9 and had the same issue. Also tried Slim ver. but had the same issue so I guess it is something to do with the mobile it self.
As I wrote it doesn’t happen all the time but it does happen very often.
Any one has any suggestion on how to fix this bug ?
Thanks

As this is happening with all roms you are installing, this is not a bug of the rom. You should flash the stock rom and see if the problem occurs there.. if it doesn't flash the custom rom and check...
if the problem persists in stock rom too then get your mobile checked at a service center.
Does anyone having problems with the home and back button sometimes not responding? I keep pressing at the same spot and no response but sometimes it would. Defected? I still have two mroe days to replace
I am experiencing this too. It is a pain in the ass! It mostly happens with my back button.

If you have a screen cover that might be the issue.

This. Check the software version under settings->about-> software infomation. If you're still on 1.28 then wait for the 1.29 update.
Another thing to try is going to Settings->Language & keyboard->HTC Sense input->Advanced->Calibration tool, and then lightly tap the buttons as lightly as possible to make them more responsive.
This issue has been driving me mad for the past couple weeks. I'm at my wits' end and I need some expert help to figure this out. Please read this post thoroughly to understand my situation, as this is not a simple matter of uninstalling some apps.
When I first got my Note 9, the screen lock button worked perfectly. The screen would immediately turn on when I pressed the button, and it would immediately turn off when I pressed it again. However, once I got the Android Pie update, the screen lock button stopped working properly. The screen still turns on immediately, but there's about a 0.5 second delay after I press the button to turn it off. It's a relatively small issue, but it's enough to bother me.
I attempted to fix this by performing a system reset. But this did not help. In fact, this issue is still present even before completing initial setup of the phone.
When you perform a system reset, the first screen you see when your phone restarts is the welcome screen. It contains a "start" button that you press to begin setup. On this screen, the lock button issue does not happen. My phone locks and unlocks correctly. On the next screen, you connect to a wifi network. After connecting to a wifi network, the lock button issue becomes present. In other words, this issue with the lock button is present before I even start using the OS, or install any apps, or really do anything at all. It seems to be triggered by connecting to a wifi network during setup.
So I figured there must be something wrong with the firmware. So I used Odin to flash an earlier firmware version. This did not solve the issue. I even tried installing an unlocked firmware version, on the offchance that my carrier (AT&T) was doing something weird. This did not help either.
I have no idea where to go from here. I thought that a system reset is supposed to completely wipe everything from your phone, so that it behaves exactly how it did when I first got it. But that's not the case. It seems like something is carrying over that's causing this issue. Does anybody have any idea what I should do?
Do you have lock instantly with power key on?

It is probably the double tap power button to open camera feature. You can toggle it off and locking will be instant.
If its already off, there my be an accessibility service listening key presses.

This delay issue is so silly but it annoys the hell out of me. Where did you turn off this feature in Pie?
Update: Found it. Just use the search box in settings and type in "camera" (or whatever it is in your language). The "double tap power" setting will get listed.
Thanks alot,
Watz
I even turned off the double press for camera app but I'm still noticing a 0.5 sec lag when i press the side key
I even restarted after changing the setting
Nothing is happening
Please help
