I recently flashed cm7 onto my Bell SGS I9000 and everything is running fantastic except for one issue.
My home button. I can use it to enter recovery and use it within clockwork. I can also use it to turn the screen on while the phone is on and within widgetlocker (to unlock the phone), beyond that it does nothing. I'm just wondering if this is a known issue (I know that the button breaking completely is an issue, but it seems that my button still works just not within the OS itself) and if there might be a fix?
I've tried changing the binding of it in adw settings but none of the functions work. The home button for all intents and purposes is now useless and It's kind of lame having to hit back 100 times just to exit a web browser.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
I think you should reflash all beginning with jpu and repart... I dont know any other possibility!

I'm wondering if you guys have any fix for my problem
Here it goes :
One click on power button, it does a screen lock.
The problem is that when i hold my power button, it off the phone by itself.
I'm wondering if I want to bring back the menu when you hold the power button down? ( Besides flashing a new rom of course )
ie. Turn Power Off
Enable Flight Mode
Off Data Connection
Silent Mode
on Darkys v4.1 2.2 Froyo
Mine just started to behave like this aswell. Not out of the blue though, something went wrong with a flash and the phone got corrupted. I fixed it by installing a rom again with cwm and restored backups. Phone works fine now (as far as ive tested) except the powerbutton behaves like you describe, it makes the phone vibrate a few times and then reboots, without showing the menu to opt for shutdown and other options. Very frustrating.
Considering the way it happened im pretty sure some sort of corruption is the cause. I think a full flash with odin or heimdall may be needed. Will report back if I find out how to fix it.
Edit: I cwm-flashed extended power menu to restore my powermenu (well, replace it with custom). Still not sure what caused it, I think careless flashing, possibly involving an incompatible package.
I tried searching the forums but I couldn't find anything about my specific issue.
I have a samsung galaxy s 19000m
The problem is my soft keys, specifically the "go back" key or return key, lags. Sometimes when i press it the light shuts off and it just hangs for awhile and then finally works. The phone is frozen, as I can use the touchscreen just fine. It's like the button is "sticking" because when it freezes if I hit the home key it will take a screenshot.
I was using darkyrom 10.2.2 when it started to happen after a few months. I've recently installed simplicity 2.1 and it still has the problem with the keys, but installing cyanogen mod 7 I haven't had any problems with the key malfunctioning. However, I want to use simplicity 2.1, not cyanogen.
Any solutions as to why this is happening and how to fix it?
First of all, thanks for the devs' great work on getting ICS to the i9000. After trying 2 different kernels, I experience a persisting problem with the physical keys on the device. The home button is not working at all (no response in debug mode in recovery) and instead the back button is set to "home".
I've tried using buttonremapper (both versions) and managed to get the back button working properly, but the app doesn't seem to recognize the home button as even existing.
The mapping in both kernels was off, but in a different way (in one kernel, the volume up and down buttons were swapped, but not in the other).
I've tried re-flashing 3 times while wiping all data cache folders, but without luck. I must admit, I havn't read through the 550+ pages on the ROM threads, but using search I could not find an answer and the problem did not seem to be widely known.
Anyone out there who can enlighten me? Thanks in advance.
Are you sure you have an I9000? I've heard that some of the variants (captivate) have the physical buttons mapped differently
I got a captivate, over a year old, never had a problem been through many flashes and custom roms etc....
Well it was actually running stock rom (froyo) for a while and suddenly the power button stopped working and the phone automatically booted when the battery was inserted. I read about the camera trick, took a picture and pressed the button a few times and it started working again. A few days later the button stopped responding and also it boots with the battery automatically again but this time the camera trick doesn't work (tried for a while many times), I did the factory update to gingerbread just to try that for the heck of it and still nothing. any ideas, suggestions, or other advice??
I think you have a problem with motherboard. Even the power button is jammed, it won't turn on the device as soon as you put the battery in.
I had same problem with PC and came out the motherboard had problem.
Same problem as well. Just started yesterday/today
Could it be software?
I'm running hacksung v16/17
I tried doing data/cache/system/dalvik reset and then reinstall, but it hasn't changed anything.
I might do an ODIN restore but I thought it was hardware.
Its hardware..check out mobiletechvideos.com they offer a power button replacement service.
sent mine put for the same issue, got it back in a week, works prefect now.
power button not working
... that's a hardware issue ... or so i read
you can take it apart and clean it you find instructions online
or you can use apps (which allow you to use the volume buttons to wake the screen)
i use MIUI .. it has a built in function (to use the volume buttons to wake the screen)
Time to get a new phone. I wouldn't waste money trying to repair it, something else will break and then what? Take a backup of your apps and data.

Have you tried using odin 1 click to restore back to stock? That worked for me.
I just posted my solution here. See if it works for you, too.
Hi all
I have a stock HTC GPE 4.4.4, with stock recovery, no SU. Phone works fine except for a random problem which has only just started with the phone. When i unlock the phone, the back button doesnt work at all - even if i leave it for a few seconds or more. But, if i tap the home button, the back button will then start to work. I thought initially it may have been the screen lock which i recently put on so i turned that off - no cigar. Im stumped as to why its happening just! Im hoping the official GPE update will fix it but not sure...
Thanks
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it sounds to me like the capacitive buttons are starting to go bad on your phone. If you think it's the software, back everything up and do a factory reset and see if that resolves the issue. Also, I'm curious, does the back button work in recovery?
Yep works fine in recovery. In fact, its working again right now. It only ever happens when the phone has been locked for a period of time. Once unlocked, it occasionally doesnt work unless i hit the home button. Also, the search bar in chrome fails to bring up the keyboard as well.
Im pretty sure its software related though. Just wondered of anyone here had same issue
