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.
+1
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.

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 )

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.

Hi,
I was wondering if anyone encountered this issue i'm having. I flashed docs jpm (froyo)which worked great for 3-4 days with 0 issues. I installed some apps, fb, twitter etc. then suddenly out of nowhere the hardware buttons on the bottom of the phone are do not work properly sometimes.
The list button will be lit, the return button is not, and when I click on the home button it makes the picture taking sound. I leave the phone for a minute or two, then it is back to normal. This is driving me crazy!!! Anyone know if this would be a firmware issue or hardware?
Thanks guys!
Henry
I had the exact same thing but only when the phone was hot i.e. After charge or while using it a lot. It was a hardware issue. I had the phone replaced. Try to put it in the refregerator a couple minute when it does that and see if it goes away.

Weird, mine never gets hot. I'm going to call bell and get a replacement then.
flash back to eclair, there is no i9000m specific froyo rom. if you experience these issues on an official canadian rom, then you have a reason to be concerned. a bunch of people have had issues with the jpm/jp6 froyo release...........though mainly sd card issues, not this.
I just flashed back to stock eclair and it seems to be working for far. Ill update here if it stops working.

As far as I'm concerned, I notice JPM/JPK Roms (I have applied tayutama 1.0.0 and voodoo kernel pre6) has this VIBRATE issue when the phone goes into sleep.
In details:
When the screen goes off (black), in a few seconds, the phone will have a slight vibrate.
If you turn on the screen and play around with it and let it sleep again (screen goes off), in few seconds it will still vibrate again!!
Not only a few seconds after phone sleep it will vibrate, I notice the phone will vibrate on its own (phone is sleep) once in awhile in no specific duration
Anybody experiencing this can let me know what causes it? I do not know whether stock ROMs have this problem coz I always flash another ROM (mostly to deodex) over my stock ROM with either lagfix or voodoo kernel applied right after
I would appreciate if we investigate it in details if this issue is confirmed
have same problem with jp6 firmware ,have posted in jp6 firmware topic about it
Oh, I think this issue is serious enough to have a thread on its own
Anyway do we have a solution/workaround for it so far? Would love to solve this 'bug' as it's kinda annoying at times...
Yep, I get that too, on JP6 .. and all in all.. I am really pissed right now, Voodoo pre6 F***ed up my radio connection .. it detects networks in 3 4 minutes, it connects and then it disconnects in a matter of seconds,...,,, mothaxxxxx
Same problem here with JPM. Im using sztupy 0.1 experimenatal rom, but after reading your posts it seems clear that its not a problem of his room
It's dreaming leave it alone.
Wifes phone refused to send text early this evening, turned phone off, phone has failed to restart since, gets stuck at start up logo and just keeps randomly vibrating.
The phone is running froyo jp6 on voda network
Usually a random vibrate means a process is crashing or has a serious error. Use the alogcat or adb logcat to look at the log immediately after this happens, or if there's nothing there look in the kernel log with "adb shell dmesg".
Got phone to boot but everything is gone, with out a factory reset even external sd card has been blanked out . Missus is well pi#$ed off
Time to go buy her that Iphone 4 shes always wanted Or get used to sleeping in dog house. Your call
Hello, So i have had the Captivate for a full 2-3 weeks now from rogers Canada.
LOVE IT ! Not much lag, GPS super accurate but Ive come across few problems that may be related to software.
For the first time tonight, my phone shutdown. It wasnt charging or anything, but i couldnt unlock it and the opening animation lit up when holding down the side so i assume it had shutdown.
But my biggest worry is 3 days ago, and again last night, I woke up to find my screen all black and white, (like a faded black) and phone was completely unresponsive. I had to remove battery and reinsert, then it would start up and work normally all day. I really do not wish to return it, unless I have too, but can this be app related? or just buggy? I will keep track, but couldnt find any other with this issue on google search.
Hopefully someone here can help.
It's been a problem with AT&T Captivates and my phone suffered as well. There's a thread in General section where people all talk about random shutdowns for their phone. Is your phone rooted? I think my shutdowns started happening when I just rooted the phone.. but somehow after I flashed a cog rom, it was all ok...
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.
