Hey guys,
I don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but the back and menu buttons stop working suddenly. This has happened to me twice. A simple On and Off fixes this, but I wanna know if theres a proper fix for it? My phone is rooted with the stock ROM "KKA". Anyone else experienced this?
My phone is NOT rooted with the stock ROM "KKA" and suffers the same problem.
Mone rom is rocket v17 , i got the same problem 2nd time.AND screen didn't wake up.
I have had this issue once so far, rooted with official Arabic Rom. does anyone have a solution?
had to restart the phone to bring it back to normal.
Read on Androidnz blog that this happens sometimes using spen with button press for using menu features like pulling up menu or back button etc.
I'm rooted, standard ROM, rarely use the SPen (haven't got around to understanding what I can do with it). I've had the unresponsive Back and Menu button problems a few times - only solution I can find is to switch off and back on again.
Good to know that it's not just me, but it would be nice to find a solution.
Same issue. Stock rom. Happened to me just now and the stylus was not being used at all.
well i also have that problem. i also know others with this problem.in my case restarting the launcher helps.ofcourse if u have both home and back button not responding at the same time then its not possible.i get both of them not responding at the same time very very rare.at that time all i do is turn of the screen and wait a few minutes.thats all,every thing is normal again.oh one more thing i think its a good idea to keep more than one launcher installed and not making any of the default.it helps switch between them easier.switching between launcher always helps in these not respondig issues.

So my phone is fine now after I re-flashed a stock rom, but I am just curious why it fixed this problem:
i have been using custom ROMs for past year. everything was fine until yesterday, the Panel screen started popping up every few seconds and there was no way of stopping it. I tried restarting, then hard-reset, and even task29 and re-flashed another custom rom, but the Panel screen auto-start phenomenon persisted.... until finally I reflashed a stock rom.... The interesting thing was, before the stock rom started the customization, the phone briefly went into Panel mode again, but when customization was completed, all this Panel autostart disappeared. and so it's all fine now... Anyone know what could be the problem?
I'm scared of flashing a custom rom in because that Panel-popping problem gave me such big headache. I almost thought I have to buy a new phone.... Any explanations?
Well, I don't know about your specific problem or what was the specific fix.
But I imagine flashing ANY ROM without Panel Manager would do the trick.
It's not like the Panels are necessary or even very usefull. YMMV, of course.
nevermind, the problem is still here, my X1 still keep on switching back and forth between the default panel and the panel-selection screen. flashing stock ROM doesn't help
i suspect it has to do with me using task29 a week ago... argh now my X1 is completely useless
The problem could be physical with your upper keypad jamming at the panel button... I would recommend upper level re-assembly with board cleaning. Failing that, PCB replacement for the affected board.
I would also say it's a hardware defect. After multiple flashing procedures and hard resets it is nearly impossible that a software problem is causing all this.
1) I concur with the above.
2) Easy fix: Disable the panels button completely.
thanks for all the advices!
upon further investigation, I realize whenever on the physical keyboard I press "capital" with either "G" or "H" or "J" or "K", my keyboard (regardless of what program is open) activates Panel Manager. this doesn't happen with any other keys or combo of keys on the keyboard. and this never happened before this problem occured. does this add to the puzzle?
and Angellusz, for the easyfix, how do I disable the Panel button completely? I don't ever use it anyway. Please let me know!
Many thanks!
So I am currently running Apex 7.0 Update 1 Rom and recently I have been having an issue with my home button. Basically every time I unlock my phone my home button sporadically keeps pressing it self for no reason, and the only way I am able to stop it is by hitting either the back button several times or the search button. It also happens randomly while I am using my phone to browse the internet or play music. I noticed that this also occurred while i was on Serendipity 7 so I do not think it is a ROM based issue. Has anyone encountered encountered the same issue? Is there a fix for it? Any help would be great Thanks.

This happened to mine while I still had the stock rom on it. AT&T took it back, no questions asked and replaced it. I would suggest going back to stock and calling AT&T. I assume you're still within your one-year window.
As a bonus, my GPS was horrible on my first handset, but my second was has been perfect since day one, no matter what rom I've been on.

(This isn't my idea - thanks to Studacris for this one)
Try putting your phone in a bag of rice for a while. If the button is freaking out, there's a chance it may have some moisture in the phone that's causing problems, and the rice will draw that moisture out.
Hello all,
My incredible s freezes, I would then need to press the power button (to put screen into sleep) and then wake it up then it's good again (not restarting).
Any idea whats this all about?
Did someone else have the same problem? what should i do next, how can i find out if its software problem or hw?
thank you all for the help
PS: i tried soft reset and hard reset, nothing helped, could it be that i need to change the touch screen DIGITIZER?
PS2: i was searching how to do a factory reset....
From the main home screen, tap menu
Tap Settings, then Privacy
Tap Factory data reset
Tap Reset phone
Enter your password if required, then tap Erase everything to confirm
in my Privacy menu i dont have Factory data reset, whats wrong with this phone? i just did upgrade, using Adroid 2.3.3, Sense 2.1, SW no 2.30.405.1
found out that the factory reset thing is in SD & phone storage menu
i did a factory reset but its still happening
help please
maybe a new display would fix this?
what else could i try before i spend money on this issue?
HBOOT: 1.13
RADIO-3805.06.03.03
Android 2.3.3 official ROM
should i try to S-off it and install a custom ROM?
im afraid that it might freeze and break

Is it under warranty?
If so I'd bring it back, if not i'd go the custom ROM route.
The fact that you can turn it off/on again and the issue is fixed makes me think it is software related.
I agree with scoobysnacks, i would do the same
most probably software related. i normally use "keyboard from android 2.3" app from the market, back in those sense 3.0 days it worked brilliantly but when i flashed any sense 3.5 roms, the a and k keys become not very responsive. the result?
my texts turn into something li(k)e this. no (a)'s and no (k)'s.
in the end i changed to go keyboard and everything works well again
thank you guys for the advice
as i sad before i hard-reset the device, and the problem is still there, even more i noticed that in some cases the upper part of the display gets numb, doesn't respond to the touch/finger ... again after i turn off the display and back on it works... also when i write texts (horizontal aligned) the left part of the keys aren't working or it just pushes the wrong ones.... i tried to do the calibration thing, but no change
i installed go keyboard and no change,
i just cant write 'w', when i touch the W in the go-keyboard it will write E or Q
whats wrong whit it?
i did S-OFF, and rooted the IS, now ill have to find a quick/light ROM to run on it
any suggestions? for a stable/ light and quick ROM?
ill do this test and if still nothing works ill changed the display, right? any other suggestions?
i did it, i flashed a custom ROM, Android Revolution HD
problem still exists
some more details:
when i keep it in landscape position, and try to write a message
the keys: w d x , are not responding, so every time i try to touch them, a neighbor key activated
any other solutions? before i go and order a new touch screen digitizer?
please, any other solutions? before i go and order a new touch screen digitizer?

Wondering what will you get if you use swype keyboard..
perhaps touch screen digitizer really need a change then if all not working.
I've got the same issue. The freeezing happens in all screens, and requires the power button to be returned to operational state. This is on a stock IS 2.3.3 ROM.
next i will try S-off, rooting and custom ROM, and see what happens. I can't see how this would be a hardware (digitizer) issue as it comes and goes. Is a little frustrating, and since I bought it used, I have no warranty.
Same issue here too i thought i was alone with that issue, posted in trinity forum.
I'm getting some random lock-ups even sensitive buttons and touchscreen don't respond, It goes away going to sleep and going back, it's so frustrating while web browsing for example
Am I Alone with that issue, or this is sign my CPU is dying?

Let's fight together with that problem
Well, completely wiped and installed a new ROM, still the same freezing issue. I've oredered a new digitizer, so we'll see if that works.
New digitizer didn't work either. Gonna try a new kernal, after that, I give up!!
Hi amigo, I face the same problem, maybe this rom is not very stable.
Tried a different Kernel, and still the same issue. I've tried everything I can think of and this phone still seems to randomly lock-up.
Hi all, hoping someone could help or at least set my mind at ease. I put the Axiom Cyanogen (?) ICS port on my Bionic yesterday and since it's been installed my soft buttons (menu, home, back, search) have been lit. Is this normal? Is there somewhere in the settings I can turn this off? I have looked thru all of them but can't seem to find the option. Thanks in advance.
it is just a random thing that happends when i flashed the axion it worked fine as soon as i flashed the 1 percent battery mod over i got the same thing so i wiped everything flashed new it worked fine so i suggested to reinstall i don't believe there are any setting that either enable/disable this just certain things that cause this that no one know a fix for it yet hope this helps..
I read already that a few ppl had this problem with different ROMs. I never had it before today. I switched the screen on and it looked normal but I couldn't do anything. I could swich the screen off again and tryed to press the power button long, OK shoutdown menu apeared but as the touch screen didn't respond I couldn't select anything. Well I pulled the battery out and it started normal, works good again.
Maybe I never have this problem again, but if it apears again might canging the kernel help or is it a ROM problem? I had this problem with JellyBam 4.1 so I could just use a different CM10 kernel.
BTW as I pulled the battery I have no log, but there might be a change to still get that log with ADB because the phone was still running just no touch response and that means (nearly) unuseable. I just have no clue how to do it, if it is posible could somebody tell me how to get that log?
Before pull out battery, try hold both Vol + and Power button until the phone restart (if it can, if not, then, you can pull out battery and forget the logcat ^^)

This appears to be a common P970 bug with 4.04+ ROMS. Loss of touch control, and long-pressing the power button brings up the shutdown menu which you can't access.
GB/2.3.4 ROMs don't have this bug. I'm not aware of any fix, save reverting to GB.

OMG somebody is still replying to that old post, over a year old, I don't even use that phone anymore, may last year I got my S3.
As I said, it only happend to me once with the JellyBam 4.1 ROM, I didn't gave to mutch to that problem with JellyBam, cause it was not the only one. That ROM was bs and didn't stayed long on my phone. It had everything, but nothing worked.
A lot GB and ICS ROMs worked well and even most of the CM ones worked rather good, they where just to power hungry. I liked all the Zeus ROMs, especially IZS. IZS is LG 4.0.4 based and was by fare the one I liked the most.

I shouldn't have replied to you. It's an old post. I should have targeted the latest post in the thread.
i think its hardware issue,,if i press and hold a little while on upper screen (right beside lg logo) touch screen became normal again. but sometimes need to hold on there when touch not work again. a member on this forum call it a flex issue of the touchscreen.
anyone know how much cost to replace it with new flex to fix this issue?
