Home and search button's not working

Hi, I have an AT&T Nexus One, running FRF85B currently. As of lately, even before update I noticed my home and search button stopped working. The haptic feedback responds when I touch them but they don't do anything. I searched the forums so please don't flame me if I missed a thread. Much thanks to anyone that can help!
P.S. I soft reset the phone a few times and also have reflashed

can you post a logcat of what happens when you press the buttons? and also try wiping cache and dalvik cache

Try to wipe and reflash and post logcat

Gfs stock phone just started doing this. Will try to get some kind of logs... A reset wouldn't make her very happy, fffuuuu

according to this we arent the only ones. it looks like a factory reset can fix the problem, but some on the link above re-encountered the problem weeks later.
surprised XDA hasnt run into this before...
in addition to home/search buttons haptic'in but not doing anything, slide lock screen goes away and the phones cannot receive calls.

Those buttons are programmable, maybe some app took control and does nothing ?A launcher perhaps?

'Programmable'? How can I set Search to ixquick?

The app's manifest needs to mention that it can handle that event

doesnt make sense though, everyone that has had this issue had all 3 completely unrelated issues:
1. buttons vibrate, do nothing
2. phone cannot receive calls
3. lock screen disappears
a wipe fixed it last night but man it was a ***** to reinstall everything for her.

This is exactly what is happening to me. I'm going to wipe now.

god damn it. this **** just started happening again... n1 has been running the OTA stock GB 2.3.3...
we ended up getting HTC to warranty the phone and everything was fine until this morning..
any help?

So i started having this problem about 3 weeks ago as well right after i flashed CM7's newest experimental build. first thing I witnessed was not being able to receive calls. I figured that this was a problem with CM7 and flashed modaco's r26, after a full wipe, when it just came out a few days ago. After a day, i got the problem with the lock screen and the home and search buttons not working. I again thought this was a problem with gingerbread for some reason and flashed MIUI Mod Rodriguez style rom, again full wipe. I had restored everything through titanium backup and other forms of recovery and within about 60 minutes my home button and search keys stopped working.
So I finally figured that it was some settings that I must have adjusted and carried through numerous different ROMs that caused the problems. So next time around I didn't restore anything, running on MIUI mod, and didn't restore anything for the remainder of the day to see what happened. Low and behold, after a reset the problem came back. One other complication is that the phone will always forget my google account and i'll have to re-connect it. Then I realize that the home key doesn't work. So even not importing anything from my old Rom's with a clean wipe didn't get rid of it.
I still get haptic feedback, but the buttons just don't do anything. I changed the setting for how home and search respond in both scenarios and can't get any response either. I flashed back to an old version now and so far i'm alright. But if someone can figure out why this is happening that would be awesome.
For the other people who are having this problem, when you're doing a clean wipe are you then restoring things back via titanium back up or otherwise? and when did you first start to experience these problems?

Istarted having this same problem today. I recently flashed over to cm7 rc2 and then the same thing happened. It seems like after I do a titanium backup and then change a setting it will reset to the cm boot screen and when it comes back there's no home screen or search buttons. All the same issues. Haptic feedback works but nothing happens. I'm on an evo btw.

Same thing occuring for me after flashing CM7. Reverted back to Miui, but so far no luck in fixing this. Numerous factory resets have yet to resolve as well. This is pretty frustrating...

Having this issue as well on CM7. DEFINITELY Titanium related.

I had this problem too. I just had to shut down the phone then leave it for about 10-15 minutes then turn it on again. Everything should be fine again. ^^

Several problems on a new Galaxy Note N-7000!!

Hello everybody,
I apologize for this post being so big but I had to cover all the details. I just got my new Galaxy Note N-7000(ceramic white) in India through Flipkart.com on 13th Feb. The phone worked fine the first day but since the next morning, I have been encountering a lot of problems. This is my first ever android phone so im pretty new to android and I am really scared if I might have gotten a defective piece. So please guys any help would be really great!
Here are some of my problems -
1. Phone restarted when moving apps from phone to SD card. Happened once.
2. Restart when changing the tabs in stock internet browser. Happened twice. Also the tabs move with a bit of lag. This is surprising with such high specs of the phone.
3. Restart when browsing the gallery. Happened Once.
4. Restart when connecting to usb mode through USB Utilities under settings>wireless and network>USB utilities. Happened Once.
5. Freeze when viewing gallery. Happened once and I had to remove the battery and reinsert and switch the phone back on because even the home button was not responding.
6. Freeze when trying to attend incoming call. Happened only once.
7. Advance task killer shows several apps open even if I never touched those apps. Mostly they are the default Samsung apps but sometimes a few apps I installed.
8. Apps like skype, viber, ect crash often and give a message 'application crashed and gives options to either force close or report'
9. Generally gets very hot even when browsing the internet or the market and burns like hell when gaming. The heating problem has reduced a little ever since I updated the firmware which Kies showed.
Guys, Im not sure if I am just panicking for nothing and if these things are normal but I feel such a costly phone with high specs shouldn't give these many problems. Plus I have installed only decent apps like skype, facebook, viber, astro, asphalt 6, blood and glory, angry birds, omnisketch, box, barcode scanner to name a few and they just fill only up to half the 4th app screen . I haven't installed any custom roms or have rooted my device yet as I am a complete noob. I havent even installed any apk's or apps outside of the android market or Samsung apps. Thanks in advance for any help!

First thing you should perform is Hard Reset.
backup your data then go to setting - privacy n Factory data reset (dont select to format USB storage. so data on SD card will remail as it is.

ok i will try this now and then install the apps back and let you know...but are you sure these problems are not a manufacturing defect or some hardware problem?..Hey btw what is the difference between hard resetting from the privacy settings and hard resetting by pressing the volume up+lock button+menu button?

Doesn't sound hardware related in my opinion. If hard reset doesn't work flashing a new rom will more than likely solve it. I've never had these issues though (other than apps auto starting on boot). Is there not an update available for the firmware?

Now that the topic has come up, Dr. Ketan.. Could you please explain the difference between a normal reset and a hard reset. I tried searching. Couldn't find an accurate answer.

You just check it first without installing extra application then after. If it occurs only after installing some stuff, it is just confliction with app.
Both methos are same, reset with recovery option is useful when you are unable to boot your device normally.

What i know is soft reset is just clear appl n memory from background, say simply rebooting device.
Hard reset will wipe all data except from System ROM, so making device as it was at time of purchase.

I also wanted to add that some apps will run in background. They are software update, samsung hub, samsung account, wifi sharing. etc. Apps like a keyboard or rdio will run in background.
Rooting the device allows you to have greater control and the ability to freeze apps so they can't run in background.

[Q] Random reboot after lockscreen

Hello,
My phone is almost a month old now and first two weeks were fine no problem at all. Now last few days it has been randomly rebooting itself when I swipe my lockscreen to open. It never does this when I am using the phone only sometimes when I'm unlocking the screen by swiping or just directly go from notifications etc. This happens like twice a day depending how much I use my phone.
I also feel like it first started to happen when I updated it. To be honest I am not sure what it did update. I also installed bunch of apps which I did delete later.
What should I do next? Factory data reset? Or is there a way to see the "crash report" or something to see whats causing it?
tldr; phone randomly reboots after lockscreen, what to do
Thanks.

After the update if some issues show up is recommended to do a Factory Reset. Start do that.

Agreed. If that does not work, re-flash the phone with a stock FTF to start over. If the problem continues after that, it must be some hardware issue.

I did that and didnt get single reboot yesterday. Too bad I didnt try this earlier. Thanks.

I am having the exact same issue.
Here is that I have done that didnt work.
Reset (vol up/pwr)
reset using red button by sim card
factory data reset
software install using pc companion
However, After each one I set the phone back up how I had it. I had the gmail widget on the lock screen. the phone would reboot at random times right after attempting to unlock. I removed the gmail widget and it hasnt happened since! I sat here locking and unlocking for about 15 minutes and it hasnt rebooted.
IN SHORT TRY TO REMOVE THE WIDGETS BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE
Hope this helps

[Q] Z1 Not powering down!!!

Hello
I own a Z1 C6903 running KitKat 4.4.2 not rooted and locked BL
A couple of days into installing the KitKat update, I gave the phone to my dad who borrowed it until a week ago. He noticed that when holding down the power button and select the power off option, the click yes to shut-down thingy didn't pop up so the phone has never been switched off for over a month. The phone also ran extreeeemely slow with camera app on 4.3 loading in less than a second but now taking over ten seconds simply to load the app, 5 seconds to open up the camera and crashes out all the time. Free RAM has dropped from around 1GB free to less than 500mb at times. I used the repair option in PC Companion which worked so the phone could switch off and the phone ran smoothly (I used Helium Backup to backup my apps before doing the 'Repair' on PC Companion) until the next day where it had the same issue. The camera now just won't load at all and I'm stuck. Free RAM is less than 200mb. Bearing in mind I'm not rooted and running bone dry stock, what can I do to fix this? I need a working phone fast.

Hard reset it by pressing volume up and power button until it vibrates 3 times.
Or, press the red button in the SIM card slot
But, tbh, I wish I had the problem that my phone would not switch off for a month, that's awesome battery life!

Hard reset also powers the phone down right? If so, I tried that yesterday still exactly the same. And what does the red button do?
Also, yes the battery life is pretty spectacular, I get a full 1-3 days running on 4G but only around 2 hours screen time; I guess thats why

The hard reset does not power off your phone?
You should not get a dialogue box, just press and hold volume up and power button. Once it vibrates 3 times the phone is off. Are you sure the phone stays on when it vibrates 3 times?

Just done that again, I must have done it wrong last time but when powering back on, still the same, can't switch off through the power menu and everything still slow. If this helps, before on 4.3 and early days with 4.4, after powering down (through power menu) once switched back on the phone was smoother and more free RAM was available. That doesn't happen when powering down using the hard reset. A friend suggested that maybe an app is blocking the phone from powering down and eating up RAM? That does make sense as the problem started again shortly after re-installing my apps through Helium Backup...

Why would it take you so long last time? Is there no batch restore in that app?
Also, you can always take a nandroid backup, then do an advanced restore and choose the data partition only to restore all apps and settings with just one click....

I had the same issue, that the phone wasn't shutting down.
It was because of corrupted data (after update).
Wiping data should fix that problem.

When you have the world's slowest laptop then it does, , I had to remove everything from my external sd to my laptop then transfer internal storage to my external card as my laptop wouldn't allow me to do this on it so I had to do it from the phone directly and then restore internal storage and external sd (that's 29GB used) but I don't want to root because it'll void warranty and also as my dad also uses this phone occasionally and I've killed off most of my phones by rooting them and in one case bricking them, he doesn't want me to root it...

Yeah.
I switched to antoher ROM and restored data and after some while I've noticed that it wan't shutting down.
You said that You've tried repairing Your phone, but if the data hasn't been wiped then nothing will change.
So, If You haven't tried wiping data until now, then do it. (if You have a rooted device then You always might do a nandroid & titanium backup.)
Wiping data is a basic thing when changing to another ROM, because there always might be an issue with something, like for example this powering off device.
One more question, can You open input languages menu in the settings (this was a second problem I had after ROM change, it forced close)?

This issue of not powering down is solved, my friend recommended I install all my apps fresh without restoring them from a backup and this worked. However my free ram and camera lag isn't sorted

Note 5 sometimes freezes while unlocking

I have a weird problem my note 5 freezes sometimes when I try to unlock it and takes at least 8 to 10 seconds. Whatever taps I make during the time the fone is frozen it remains unresponsive but after a few seconds it responds to all the tap commands but after 10 seconds.
But after that initial problem it is perfectly normal and responsive.
How do I fix this issue and is it due to the aggressive ram management that it takes some time to load the home screen etc.
Wanted to know if anyone is facing this same issue and if there is a solution for it.
Thanks
Note 5 sm-920I model

I am also facing the same problem, it happens to me once or twice a day. I have the SM-920C model

have you set fingerprint as ur screen security ?

i've got this problem too. was happening more when i had PIN lock set up. it hasn't really happened in the last couple days so not sure if a bug or anything...

Same issue here. At first I thought it was due to fingerprint unlock. Changed it to PIN unlock and it still happens. It only happens once or twice per day. Also, I experienced random reboot.

Cleaned the system cache and restarted the fone and everything worked fine for a few days than its back to being unresponsive for a few moments again and sometimes I have to soft reset my fone.

Have you tried factory reset yet?

That would be my last resort to use as I have lots of work files and like 20000 photos which are all categorized in folders,time. In backup the categorized stuff gets jumbled. And it's too hectic and long to get it back to the way it was.
FYI I used smartswitch to transfer from note 4 it was n-910c version I think

Okay, my phone is only a few weeks old. I just factory reset it. I'll report how it goes.

Thanks hope this fixes the issue. If it fixes the issue I might have to try to back up and factory reset too. Out of curiosity which region is your phone mine is from Singapore. Note 5 64gb is not available in my region so bought the unlocked one online.

I'm from Singapore. I got the 64gb too.

I got the UAE 32GB Note 5 btw, and i'm also facing this issue. For some reason, I felt it was the S-View cover the culprit here....

I doubt so cause I don't use the S-View cover.

Same issue for me as well. Recently bought note 5 - 64gb and it freeze for few second when i press the home button (fingerprint) . Its irritating especially when you need to use the phone urgently. Wonder what is the problem. Anyone reset factory and its working fine ? From Singapore

Ok this is what worked for me.
1- Turn off your note 5
2- Press the volume up button and home button together
3- while keeping it pressed Press the power button
4-It will open The system screen find cache and clear it- (DO NOT DO ANYTHING ELSE) once its done choose the restart option
5- I also got a 33 to 40 mb update yesterday. Do not update from the fone use smart switch to update it will download a 1.4gb file meaning it will reinstall the system.
My fone for 2 days now is not freezing. before the problem occurred at least 5 to 6 times a day.
Just in case make a backup although i didn't loose any
data .
Let me know if it works for any of you.

Good to hear. It's my third day since I factory reset and no issues so far. Let's monitor after a few weeks if the problem returns. If it does, it might have something to do with the system cache or something.

What models are you using perhaps it's a particular model?

SM-N920I

Installed a software update version N920IDVU1A0H6/N920IOLC1AOH2/N90IDVU1AOH3 (39mb) and the issue happened again.

I just got my note 5 two days ago and im experiencing the same
