Home button not working - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
It seems my back button on my SGS 1 is not working anymore.
I don't recall if it's not working after or before flashing Darky ROM 10.2.
I just have 3 questions:
1. Is there any possible way that it's software problem (didn't spill anything on my phone and it didn't fall too often or hard on the floor).
2. When I try to use TESTKEYS in CWM (advanced) it still does not bring me debug code (for example it brings up code for other buttons like back and options)
3. Is there anyone with similar problem on this forum?
Thanks.

[Q] Home button malfunction

Hello,
I have problem with my new Note, from first day I have problem with home button, if I want use it, I must tap more than 3x!
Can somebody tell me what is wrong?
I made two videos:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uXr0m961Pew
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r3Mc3kfbKmo
On Sheep ROM, check ROM, default launcher and GO launcher is everything the same. Now I`ll try SetCPU and some other kernel.
I think this is not HW issue, because if I demonstrate wake up lag with home button, everything works fine.
On this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TAZR-qQNRVk
Have somebody other this problem?
It seems to be SW error rather thn HW, it shud go with hardreset / flashing ROM
Yes, I think so, that is SW problem. But I tried this: factory reset on default ROM / factory reset on Sheep ROM / factory reset on check ROM / add Abyss kernel to these ROMs...but still the same problem :-/
Nobody with Note hasn`t this home button problem?
Exists some app which can log button event?

Hi,
this sounds like my problem.
I have it on 2.3.6 after replacing the keypad because of water damage and wrong cleaning off the home-button...
I am searching for a solution quite a long time.
It would be great if you could post the problem solution here.
Thanks a lot.

yeahaa... after 3 days of testing and testing i finaly made it ....
Well the trick with *#*#2663#*#* works only on froyo and not on any other stock rom...
So just get Froyo and after flashing it do a full wipe within the recovery menu. Afterwards boot and enter *#*#2663#*#* and update the TouchPad FW.

Anxious to try FroYo
Same thing happened to me a week ago, the four touch keys across the bottom of my T989 suddenly stopped working for no apparent reason.
When I bought my T989 in Nov2011, I got it from a guy who bought it for his son, but his son decided he wanted an iPhone instead, so it was brand new BUT already rooted (juggernaut v3.1, CMR). It was running flawlessy until now. I hadn't done anything to it and was still running the same rom.
Over the past week I've gotten up to speed and I wiped it and flashed stock ICS 4.0.4 UVLH1 rom after which the keys functioned normally UNTIL Kies said there was newer firmware, and so I updated to that. I tried wiping and reflashing ICS in hopes the keys would work again and skip the Kies update, but this time the keys didn't work at all. I've had the phone apart to examine the hardware and (without removing the screen) everything appears perfect. I am still holding out hope that it's a software thing, not a hardware thing.
I tried the *#2663# code trick and pressed the "Touch Key FW Update" button, but it just stayed busy for the four hours I let it grind away (obviously not working).
So, noob question, does anyone know where I could find a stock Froyo rom for the T989? I've only seen it for the T959. I really want to try this and see if it gets my touch keys working again.
Thanks in advance.

Problem With Sense 5 ROM - No Touch Functionality (SOLVED)

I'm trying to install the DK Zen RLS2 ROM here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2309928
I figured they wouldn't want me mucking the thread up with my personal problems.
What happens when I install the ROM is that it will start up and get as far as the lock screen. Instead of going into the whole new-phone-setup business, it just stays on the lock screen and doesn't respond to any touch input. I can turn the screen on and off with the power button and I can change the volume, but I can't unlock, pull down the status bar, or open the volume settings. Holding the power button won't bring up the power menu (no real surprise) but it will reboot the phone after 10 seconds.
I'm fairly certain I've used this ROM before, but I recently formatted my phone and relocked it and everything in an attempt to fix other issues. I'm able to use other ROMs just fine without getting this issue. So far I've tried Stock with Goodies (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2301672) and SuperBLUE (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2520499). It seems, from reading the threads, that each of these ROMs is based on 4.3, but considering the way DK Zen rearranges my SD card, I have a feeling it's different (it adds the "0" folders; does that mean that it's a downgrade from or an upgrade to 4.3?).
Any thoughts? The one thing I can see from this ROM is that it gives me a full 4G signal, whereas the other ROMs only get me a few bars. Maybe the ROM isn't being honest, but if it is I'd really like to get it working for this alone (also volume rocker to skip tracks).
Reading through this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2470569) it sounds like going with a 1.31 firmware (which DK Zen is based on) will have touchscreen issues if my phone's firmware doesn't match. Checking the Bootloader screen, I have 3.04.651.2 on the OS line. Is that the cause of my problems? Is it possible to downgrade my firmware, and would that be advisable anyway?
I feel like not many people run into this issue, or if they do they already know why, but I might as well post what I did here.
The touch panel firmware in 3.04 isn't compatible with earlier ROMs (or at least 1.31 ROMs). So, I had to go back to an older firmware. To do that, I just used Rum Runner to get s-off which I hadn't done at any point before. That was a very simple process, though I couldn't do it on my work computer, probably because of all the server and network security software that's installed here.
Once I got s-off, I was able to flash a 1.29 firmware using fastboot. From there, I flashed the DK Zen ROM that I was looking at and the touchscreen worked just fine.
Yay for learning!

Return and Menu keys stopped working

Good day folks
My problem:
My Galaxy S3 LTE's back and menu keys have suddenly stopped working/lighting up.
Currently I'm trialing the "PAC-MAN 4.4 RC1" ROM, so I'm alternating between the stock ROM (backed up by CWM) which is 4.1.2 (for the purpose of comparison)
In both ROMs the buttons are dead.
I have tried a million solutions out there to no avail.
I'm using the on-screen soft keys by editing the build.prop file for the moment but I really want my hardware keys back.
I started to think of flashing a new kernel in the hope that would fix the problem. However I'm not sure which kernel to choose to be compatible with both ROMs that I'm using!
Can anyone please point me the right direction?
Current Kernel: 3.0.31-633241
Build number: JZO54K.I9305XXBLL3
Many many thanks in advance.
With both roms you have same problem?
Last resort is to flash full rom downloaded from sammobile/live updates samsung (search one of these in google) and flash it through odin (tutorial may be find here on xda).
If that doesn't help - probably hardware side is broken :/

Well, it should be working. I had the same problem when I bought this phone.
The main problem was, that every ROM version's from 4.1 to 4.4.4 version's wasn't compatible with vibration module. What was I doing to re-wake it?
Firstly, try some of these tricks:
1. Go straight to your service menu (in the dialer dial this code: *#*#7378423#*#*)
2. After that, go to the services tab and click on "Vibrate"
3. And lastly, push and hold any volume rockers button to wake-up your vibration module.
It worked whether I used this tricks.
As far as I can see, this problem doesn't appear on the lollipop (AOSP 5.0) version.
I hope my message will help you somehow
Thanks But It's Not Working
when i got my first Z the vibration died in a day or so, could be a hardware related problem.(i had no problems replacing it, just took a while for me to explain that it's hardware related)
try hard reset, deleting all data etc, if it doesnt work, i hope you got your warranty

Next time please quote message, that can I see your answer.
As TorN-d- said before, you only 1 last chance - to reinstall your operating system. That can be done by using Sony PC Companion, which you can download straight from here: HERE
If it doesn't work, it may be that your phone has damaged vibration module which needs to be replaced
