Menu and back buttons issues? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got a note here a few days ago and I noticed that the back and menu button freeze up sometimes. So I just restart the phone and it's good to go. Has anyone else had this issue? I sure hope it's a software issue and not a hardware issue.

Anyone? I don't think it's an app issue because when I got it, it was already reset.

Same here, have happend 3 times in one week. Reboot is the only solution when it happends.

Do you think it's a software issue and ics will fix the issue?

I've had it happen to me once in the past couple of weeks with the stock GB rom. Hopefully it is on Samsung's bugfix list. BTW, does Samsung have a public url to report bugs?

I don't believe that there is, but I could be wrong.

It could be possible that its just a software glitch, have you taken it to the service center and asked them to update the software? I've read reports about those before with the Galaxy S2, some had it fixed with a software update while others got a replacement.

No I haven't because I would have to send it to them and then I would be without a phone. I hope when ics comes out it fixes the issue. If not I'll give them a call.

Oh no my vibrations :(

All my vibrations aren't as strong I guess you could say. And the haptic on the 4 bottom buttons don't vibrate at all when I press them, but what's weird is it makes a slight click noise like its trying to vibrate. Whhat should I do? I updated my cm6 nightly and it didn't change. I'm about to try a different rom. Is this something HTC would fix?

Really? Not a single reply wtf. Would they fix it? Its rooted

If it's hardware, they'll fix it assuming that it wasn't a software issue that caused the hardware. When I sent my unlocked/rooted device in for rebooting issues, they repaired it free of charge.

[Q] Random Reboots

Is anyone else experiencing random reboots at least once a day? I notice that mine has once in a while averaging maybe one a day. Random times.
At least unlike my old Captivate, it reboots and not just shut off.
I get too, I noticed it's from some app's.

I also get random reboots and have had bootloop twice as well on stock. I agree certain apps do it to me it was apps that have t do with playing movies nd videos for me
I have random reboots when I am not using the phone. Its on the home screen and then I notice it has rebooted itself. Really annoying.

Same here. I will be sitting there, and all of a sudden, the LG logo shows up and reboots. I went over to the LG forum and stated it there. May not be a bad idea for others to do the same thing so that they realize it is a widespread problem.

Mine has had one random reboot, but that's it.
Out of curiosity, is everyone using the stock battery? Or do you use an aftermarket one?
I use both, but it seems to do it with both.
Has any one linked the software version to the problem? Either 10A or 10E?

I'm on 10E
It also seems to be an issue on the Optimus 3D and was on the G2X
I am on my second Thrill (that just sounds funny to me) and I have not had the reboot issue with either of them. The first phone had serious GPS issues and was running V10e. The second device has worked perfectly so far, even GPS, and is curiously on V10d. I tried the LG software, and the on device, update and it states I am currently up to date.
I was not aware there even was a V10d version. The full version number is LGP925-V10d-JUL-20-2011.
I don't know if there is any relation to the software version and random reboots. My original V10e device did not experience this issue. I am thinking it must be a combination of software and settings, or truly defective devices. It is entirely possible that it could be related to software syncing (i.e. email, contacts, etc.) or wireless AP causing some sort of memory leak.
Has anyone noticed any heat issues when their device is rebooting?
i have Thrill "not for sale" , not reboot
has anyone ever come up with a solution to fix this problem with the random reboots. I have yet to flash any of the custom roms. due to the fact that i dont know if that will fix this issue. Any info would b greatly appreciated because i really enjoy this device.

[FIX] For Touchscreen Problems

Hey guys i thought i would share a simple fix for the touchscreen problems that people are having. I used to have some problems with my touchscreen on stock, basically sometimes the right side of my touchscreen would be difficult and unresponsive. Im not sure what happened, it seems that after i flashed the Codenamesammy ROM it started to have these problems. I though my first tablet was just faulty so i returned and recieved a new one. I flashed the same rom on it then went back to stock and was having similar problems. I thought to myself that it was a software problem, so here is how i solved it.
Fix
Unlock and root your tablet if have not yet. Flash This using TWRP or CWM.
How it works - Im not entirely sure why this worked even though i was in stock and it had stock drivers. Anyways it replaces the current drivers with the one in the build it has posted.
Credits - I give complete credit to the one who extracted these drivers and posted them.
Thought i might help some of you out with your problems before deciding to RMA it. If this does not work for you then it might be the actual hardware.
Is it still working?
Has anyone tried this fix and can confirm if it has worked for them?

Looks like a grounding problem to me, don't think that can be fixed in software.
Thats deff a screen issue hardware related.
For me, this problem is solved : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ArlV8jTdkRM
video is buggy because my galaxy s is bad
People shouldn't really have to repair their nexus tablets on their own and run the risk of voiding the warranty. You should all have it under warranty.
For me I would keep returning it until I receive one that no longer has any defects, even if it means returning 10 of em. This way Google would see a high amount of returns and hopefully do something about it.

I don't have the issue, but I'm on franco.Kernel + Team EOS Stable ROM + JRO03R Binaries. I thought I noticed the issue on stock though, but I could be wrong.
I have same this issue especially when the device is heated .. the touch unresponsive in the center..
But I return my N7 to the warranty before i see this topic..
Thank you

what issue were you having?
I was having dead spot issues. The screen not reading my touch, but now after update i could have sworn i saw a horizontal line flash across the screen. Never seen it before I've only noticed it once though.

Didn't fix mine... when i touch either side of my screen it thinks i'm touching both sides. Gonna have to RMA T_T
This unfortunately didn't resolve my issues, as can be seen here. Is there any other attempted fixes for this issue? If I reboot my device it seems to work dine for a while, but after several hours of being on, it experiences these problems.

Just wondering if you people have tried updating the drivers to JRO03R. It solved the problem for me. Sorry if you have.

Yes, I have. Those videos I took where after I had flashed the new drivers.
Still getting touchscreen issues after flashing over cm10. In fact it may now be worse. Now I get ghost taps and swipes, apps have a mind of their own. Fortunately turning the screen off and back on seems to clear it up though.

Video Hub won't update

Is it me, or is everyone else experiencing the same as me.
Whenever I load my video Hub it automatically says that it is due for an update, and when you say yes it goes through a bunch of errors and cannot find the file in the Samsung server, then spits you out?
Not rooted yet

I had the same issue, but it went away after I flashed the correct ROM/CSC for my country. I think it's got something to do with Samsung's regional releases.

Volume up stops working.

Yesterday my phone's volume up stopped working so I googled to see if there was a fix. Some had suggested unticking fast start up and rebooting didn't work tried soft reset didn't work then later it just started working. So tried it again tonight and it's not working again, so does anyone else know if it's software or hardware or any suggestions of what to do thanks.

Think it might be hardware because if you shake it it normally starts working again dreading having to send off for repair been reading about some real horror story's .

How about you try the built in diagnostics: in dialer type *#*#3424#*#* then select "Button Test" and run it.

I guess if it fails the button press, then it's most likely a hardware fault, and not much you can do to fix it
It should still be under warranty so will take it back next week hopefully they can fix it but dreading handing it over incase it comes back in worse shape then when it went.

If anyone reads this from the UK what's the best way to send phone off for warranty repair through shop where i got it from phones4u or HTC UK or HTC international need some advice before it goes on it's journey for repair. Also time frames of how long it normally takes would be nice. Iam hoping they tell me to send it somewhere locally for repair but doubt it very much, had a Nokia years ago wich went to a local place for repair but don't think they do that now.
