[Q] Soft keys malfunctioning - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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?

Help buttons not working on my At&t tilt

Alright my At&t tilt front face buttons started to not work (i could only use the arrow buttons and the ok button) and my keyboard stopped working but the arrow keys would. i upgraded the rom after calling htc for help. that didnt fix a thing and now today none of the buttons work. i keep getting the PTT to come up and ask for installation and edfc keeps typing themselves on the screen. so idk if it is a software problem or if the hard ware is malfunctioning.
Damn, I got the same problem. Does anybody know how to fix this?
the same problem here... :/
same problema here.
i already tried another radio, another SPL, another ROM and nothing.
any idea?
Just updating.
Yesterday my tytn started working perfectly again, but today the same problem is occuring. I did nothing, so probably is really a hardware issue.
I have a similar problem.
Send/End + Soft Keys + Keyboard are not working. The issue is not resolved yet?
Wow, this problem just happened to me as well. I've searched everywhere on the net and couldn't find anything.
So is this a pervasive issue? Anyone with any hint as to what might be the source of the problem?
Originally, I thought it the PTT button was stuck in the PRESSED position because the phone behaves as if this button was constantly being pressed. For example my PTT button was mapped to Voice Recorder if the PTT button was held down. The voice recorder constantly comes on everytime I turn the phone on!!

I have the exact same problem.
The only change I recently made (two weeks ago) was installing tom tom navigator.
First I thought it was a virus and I installed bull guard, but with no success.
It opens/closes the start menu every second, no buttons work apart from the directional buttons and it writes "edfc" in my textmessages when I turn on/off the screen with the power button.
Most of the time(!) this irritating opening/closing of the start menu only happens after I first turn off/on the screen (with the power button).
I saw this problem described in a post dating back almost two years ago. Someone ought to know the answer to our problems. What does HTC say about it?
I have been lucky and not had this issue yet; but I would recommend starting by flashing the stock rom from HTC. Then hard reset; that will clear everything back to original. If you still experence this after that, then you have a hardware issue. Good luck
This just happened to me this morning. I cant use any buttons and nothing is popping up. This is soo wierd cause the phone was just sitting there overnight!!
Me too...
I have been going nuts with this issue for a couple months now. Makes the phone unusable half the time. I am so disappointed to find that a ROM reload doesn't fix it!! I remapped the 6 key to none and that sort of helps but it was mapped to Voice record before and it would constantly record memos until all the memory was gone in the phone and then it would all crash from there. So frustrating.
I too get the edfc message after I reboot....
It really seems like a virus the way it acts but I guess if it is a hardware issue then it's not a virus.
Anyone ever figure anything out with this? Nothing has changed on my phone recently.
Still an issue?
Holy Toledo fellow Tilt Users. Have you ditched your half-functioning touchscreen, or have we figured out how to solve this issue.
Recently I FOUND THE SAME PROBLEM!
I am going to do what was suggested (original HTC Rom & hard reset) and will let you know if I get the rest of my keyboard back...
All buttons except for power and... NOT WORKING
Outside "Enter" buttons work but they are mapped to Windows key. ? Weird. For some reason the kaiser thinks it is something else. I do not know how it got this way, but there must be a way to convince the hardware of the existence of all my other buttons. The entire keyboard does not work.
Hard Reset & stock HTC Rom did not help. I was surprised that I could hard reset it at all since the two soft buttons are unresponsive to software.
Anyone figure this out yet?
Hi, I got the same issue today as well - Has anyone got rid of this?

[Q] ApeX 5.2 power key failure

I'm running ApeX 5.2 on my Captivate and, for some reason, the power key has stopped working recently. Everytime I hold the key to bring up the menu, it does nothing except the quick vibrate. I tried to re-flash the device, which fixed it until I rebooted.
Any suggestions or anything I'm not thinking of?

[Q] Home button issues in cyanogenmod7

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!

Power Key malfunction! Help!

My phone was working just fine till today morning my phone hung up. As a general response I pressed the power key to lock it. Nothing happened. Nothing. So I waited it out. Soon the phone was back but the power key became totally dead. It wasn't locking the screen. I used the Screen lock app on emanoN rom v4 to lock the phone and it was working. The screen was getting locked. Figuring this must be some freak bug I tool out the battery and restarted the phone. Same problem except now even simply pressing and not long pressing the lock key would prompt the shut down menu. If ignored the phone just casually restarts. This is annoying because if out of reflex i press the power key , my phone will restart. Now, sometimes the power key does do it's job of simply locking and unlocking the phone. But sometimes it just restarts the phone.
I thought this was a problem with the ROM and so i shifted to godell's MORe ROM. Same problem. Now I've shifted to fresh stock 2.3.6 flashed using Odin and I'm still having the same problem. Pressing power does not lock and instead prompts the shut down/restart menu. and Sometimes the phone just restarts at random . Please help me fix this.
I'm going to go for a full downgrade to 2.3.3 [Since my 2.3.6 upgrade just flashed the MODEM*.md5 and CODE*.md5 files]
But before that.. Why is this happening? Is there any fix?
Thanks!
I have completely reflashed to gingerbread 2.3.3 using odin and problem persists.
I do not think this is a hardware issue,because the button's reactivity is just fine. It's just the action that it does after the keyPress.
Your power key problem might be a hardware issue... :| How old is your phone? You might have used it too much. My friends galaxy mini- the volume up button doesnt work because he used it too much.
It's about an year old.. I'd say 10-11 months or so..

[Q]

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

Click to collapse
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.
