So the light works when charging, so that rules out a hardware issue (i also did the hardware test from the dialer and it was fine). However, I have the settings enabled and it doesn't work for anything. Tested both gmail and sms. Nothing. I do have 8sms installed and use that as my sms app, but I tried reenabling the stock prone and still nothing. Any ideas?

Happened to me too. Here's what I found....doing a master factory reset (power down phone,hold volume down and power at same time), if skipping through all the screens, not setting up any accounts, then they worked. If I was to master factory reset and setup accounts ie. mail, google, etc. rather than skipping, that's what was borking the lights. Tested 3 times to verify. So my recommendation is to master factory reset and skip through all of the setup options. Reboot phone and then go in and setup your accounts and you should be good! Let me know if the same thing happens to you.

Yup. Fixed it. Went though and did the HTC setup, but skipped adding google account or anything else (skipped dropbox just to be safe) and it works now. Now I just have to get everything just so again. Yay for me. Thanks for the help though. Someone should really make a sticky about this or PSA or something so people that do resets to fix 4.3 weirdness (like I did) don't have to go through yet another reset.

Sweet! Glad it worked for you, crazy thing is I bought the phone Saturday and it did this behavior before I even took the update. That phone did other weird things to. After the last factory reset it blew the camera! When in Zoe mode, try to take a picture and it would force close. Got fed up and exchanged for new one. The second one had no 4g period! Reprovisioned and all that good stuff, but no 4g anywhere. Went to a different store being as I was 2 for 2 so far to get another one. They verified no 4g, gave me another and all is good! Guess 3rd time was a charm, no weirdness with this one at all...bad ass phone to say the least! Glad I went back to HTC.

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?

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.

same
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. ^^
I'm having the same issues as takef0cusin above, arriving in a slightly different way. I was properly registered on 1.0.0 and used auto nooter 2.12.15. That went fine and there were no problems, but I decided to upgrade to 1.0.1 after some Wifi dropping issues. So I decided to flash back the the clean stock ROM.
I did the re-image holding down the power button 8 times, then I did the "three button data reset". Everything seemed to go fine, but it still started with the Logic PD Zoom screen and it never gave me the opportunity to re-register. Owner and Account are listed as unavailable. I then tried again using the "Erase and Deregister Device" method. Same results.
The new icons from the rooting are there, which makes me wonder if I actually had a successful flash back. I tried to register with the Gmail icon. It let me put in my email username and password. I acts like it is going to work, starts to load my conversations, then returns to the NC Home screen. I also tried to go through YouTube, but after registering I get "There was a problem with the network [401]". The Wifi still works, it still gets me the news, but the weather won't load because it says it there's location available.
What do I try next? I'm afraid to do anything because of all the warnings to re-register the NC first thing after any of these upgrades.
Thanks and Happy Holidays, OKMD
I've been through all this twice now. The second time was exactly as you have described and all I did was to redo the 3 button data reset. I was then able to re-register it.
Did it pop up to tell/ask you to register, or did you have to go looking somehow? Mine isn't asking and I don't know how to force it. Thanks.

If memory serves, after clearing data it comes up with screens where you select time zones, state, city, etc and then it asks for your user name and password. All this happens automatically after you do the 3 finger data reset.
Hello,
My SGT p1010 got unresponsive (the display didn't want to turn on) and I held the power key untill shut down. After turning on again, the home and search keys are touchable (I get the vibrant feedback), but there isn't any action performed. I unfroze some samsung stuff I had frozen before that and restarted, but no effect.
As a side effect, the icons and widget (accuweather) I placed manually on the desktop disappeared, and the programs got sorted by name (not like before - the latest installed - after the earlier ones).
Was this some kind of soft-hard reset?! No info disappeared though..
Any ideas why is this happening and how to fix it?
Well, I just did factory reset and it's all ok now..
It will happen again
i had the same problem. went to a samsung store and they updated the gt software. they were sure that the update was the solution to the issue, but it happened again. please contact samsung support to make them know this important problem.
Same problem here.
Contacted Samsung. Waiting for a call.
Problem:
- Home screen reset to factory settings. Some settings like key sounds reenabled
- Home and Search key not working
All account settings and apps are still there.
Also when you shutdown the phone there is only one option "shut down". There were 3 before. Like offline mode and one other option i don't remember.

I dont whant to connect to kies every day just for the fix
the problem keeps spreading to all reagions

I've had this problem for the past 6 weeks since I got my gt p1010. It happens a couple of times per week. Grrrrr.
The Kies solution fixes the home key & lock button issue and all the apps are there, however I get the following two things:
* All Homepage data is lost (I have to re-do all of my homepage icons)
* My browser bookmarks are all lost
Haven't done a factory reset as I'm not convinced this will fix the issue - that certainly seems to be the case for Malicieux anyway!!
Might this be something to do with pattern lock??
Has anyone found a solution to this yet?????
We need a firmware update and fast!!!
P1010 Home and Search Key not working
Hi Guys,
I have read your posts and have also had this really annoying problem.
The last time I did a factory reset, I have intentionally not installed any additional apps or setup my Exchange e-mail client, as I strongly suspect that it will be down to something like this.
I have not had any problems at all so far - where before it would lock up and reset multiple times in one day.
I have not yet installed any of the previous apps I had, but I will be installing one a day until I find it crash again.
It didn't have many apps on their but here are a list. I am curious to see if anyone who has also experienced these issues had installed the same apps as me.
Skype, BBC Iplayer, GoogleSky
or were connected to an Exchange account.
I have setup my exchance account once more today - but without checking the Sync Calender or contacts options.
It has been working for 1/2 day with still no problems.
I suggest everyone else who has this problem does the same and we nail down the offending app!
You will need to do a factory reset - not a Kies Sync fix - because you will always get the problem again (because you still have the offending setup / app)
Let's nail this down!
I have a P1000, so not sure how valid this is. I searched on Google and there appears to be an Android issue 8503 (I think?) related to this:
Home button vibrates but no action
Search doesn't work
cut-down "power off" menu
no security lock
I experienced this issue repeatedly when updating Overcome ROM, I narrowed it down to restoring backed up apps. So I've downloaded apps from the market and restored data from Titanium Backup. I think I've got a contaminated back-up somewhere.
Since not restoring apps (after trying at least twice, maybe 3x), my system has been stable. While not pinpointing the issue, I hope this helps someone...?
@ irw030370 same here...
@ snesy i think the problem lies with Skype.
my father has the same problem with his P1010 ans the same temporal solution when connecting the tab to his pc ( he does not need to start Kies, just connect it with a usb cable )
I did a reset once but installed all the SW directly after that...
strange thing is that my mother has also a p1010 same version of FW and so on and does not have that problem...
next week i'll get my hands on his tab and will perform a hard reset, and do as you suggest.
Will update my findings later on...
Greets,
T.
Edit :
With the basic install, added only skype and some email accounts. I did not have an issue.
Still looking...
Hi all
any advance on this problem?
You should update to Android 2.3.
Check Kies or follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1410035
I did not have any problems with this new version so far.

Did you guys factory reset after upgrading? Its most likely that the LED will work after a factory reset, I didn't as it all worked lovely without this time and with kit Kat round the corner I will factory reset for that upgrade. Maybe some one knows what process drives the LED that we can try clearing and force closing? might help

Yes, I actually rooted my phone, and installed 4.3 before it was even available ota, and the notification led would not work. I then went back to stock, and received the ota update, then did a factory reset, still cant get notifications to work. It seems to be affecting a minority of handsets which I find strange.

I think we may well be a minority with this problem, there's not a lot of noise on this forum the internet in general about it, it could be a combination of apps that are causing the problem, or maybe the new Do Not Disturb feature is not running properly as that shuts down the notification Led when activated.
We know a factory reset doesn't help.
Apps I have that use the notification LED other than the stock system notification are only WhatsApp and Missed Call Reminder, I am going to try uninstalling them and see if it frees the LED up, other than that I am at a loss.
I am having the same problem after recently updating to 4.3 / 5.5 (stock Scandinavian int. unlocked version) so I will be keeping an eye on this thread and any others to see what the possible solution is.
As manmikey has said, factory reset doesn't solve it - at least a regular reset and re-install. I may reset again and set it up without importing my apps, to see if one of them is screwing it up but I don't have anything out of the ordinary which accesses the LED - only stock Messaging and Gmail. I tried LightFlow, to see if that would somehow kick it back to life and override what was causing the problem by using its testing tools, but still nothing...
So yeah, must be a combination of updates and apps which knock it out. It's not a huge issue as I still have audio notifications but it is super-handy being able to glance at my phone and see if anything has arrived. Might be fixed with 4.4, who knows...

Finally got to the bottom of this problem which has been bugging me for weeks. If anyone is having problems with there notification led not working, do a factory reset. During the install process after resetting, DO NOT log into your google account and let it restore your apps and settings. Lo in once pone has fully booted up and manuallyrestore apps, bit of a pain if you have loads of apps, but the light is now working normal for messages, emails etc etc as it should

YES! Thank you so much for this! I did the reset, without restoring using my Google account and then logged in after the set up had finished. Sent a test email from another account and *BAM* the green LED flashes away. Such a nice feeling to have it back - it feels like my phone is now complete. Strange how such a small thing can make a difference to the overall user experience.
Having to reinstall and set up my apps from scratch is a small price to pay for having everything work properly.
Thanks again

No easy solution but a more info for those with this problem...
Seeing on this forum that restoring using Google back up did not cure the problem I thought I would try using HTC back up. I did a factory reset and then a restore from my HTC back up to try and get the notification lamp working. Unfortunately the Led still does not work after this so it looks like Honda1979s method is the only way
As a footnote I have now returned my HTC One (to Carphone Warehouse) for warranty repairs as the device has microphone/noise cancelling issues (another seemingly common problem of the HTC one) So I reported the LED not notifying as well, so lets see what comes back in 6 days..... I have a horrible feeling that HTC will shirk the repair and quote "moisture damage" even tho it has never been wet. watch this space

Okay still no solution but further information....
I received a replacement HTC One as the microphone issue was not repairable, the replacement device was a factory reconditioned unit with sense 5.0 & Android 4.2.2 installed. The notification LED was working when I put my sim in and subsequently after I ran HTC restore. Then I downloaded the OTA sense 5.5/4.3 update and ran it. After that update the notification LED was no longer working. At this point I am leaving it as I don't want to spend too much more of my life chasing a flashing green light, after the KitKat update I will follow Honda1979s methods and rebuild the phone from scratch and not restore from backup.
Hey guys I am the owner of a new HTC One phone
My feeling is that Swiftkey is messing up green led notification
Do you have installed Swiftkey. Because for me notification does not work after the installation of this application
Also an uninstall of it does not help. For the moment only honda solution seems working

Solved - Notification LED not working
Just to update the post....
After the OTA update to KitKat 4.4.2 I did not restore from backups but rebuilt my HTC One as a brand new device, I can confirm the green notification LED is now working again :good:
Okay having just updated OTA to sense 6 I find yet again that the notification Led has stopped working again as a result of updating. I was expecting to have to rebuild my phone from scratch as before to get the Led working. But I discovered another way to get it working whilst installing another app.
The app is "Missed Message Flasher" and when setting it up it requires turning on in the Settings/Accessibility/Services menu. Once installed and turned on the Led works as entirely as intended
I confirmed this by uninstalling the app at which point the Led stopped working again, reinstalled and the Led works again.
I have no idea why this solves it, but I hope it helps others with this frustrating issue.

So I had the same issue.tested my led in safe mode it worked fine. Downloaded the led notifier on app in market because some reported this fixed it.disabled Google hangouts and Verizon messaging still nothing.but what did work and I'm not sure if its a combination of all the steps I took but all I simply did was cycle the do not disturb button on and then off from the top pull down bar. Hope this works for you guys.

Old thread but ran into this problem a week ago on my Desire HD. Tried all kind of apps and removed all my widgets and a bunch of apps but couldn't get it fixed. I knew my LED still worked cause when I completely turned off the phone and connected it to the charger it worked. However as soon as I booted the phone the LED turned off and it only started flashing again when my battery level dropped below 14%. Notifications or charging the phone when it was on did not turn on the LED.
After I read your 'do not disturb' comment I pulled down the notification bar and noticed my quiet hours (Android 4.4.4) was switched on even though I never changed the setting (on from 11pm to 7am). Switched it off and now the light is working fine again.
Sometimes solutions are so easy ...
Tried searching around and have seen others with this issue but nothing has worked. Tried a clean flash of a rom and during the setup wizard its still broken.
I have pretty much done everything but done a clean flash of stock and i am gearing up to do that but i dont have high hopes.
are you using a custom kernel?

I had this happen to my N6 last week. It started after running the battery completely flat so the green LED lit when I charged it. The fix having repeatedly wiping seemed to be draining battery completely again until the green LED lit when I charged it. It has worked fine ever since.

First contacted square trade as that is my insurance, they said contact Moto because it is still under warranty. Did that, Moto said they would replace it. I said i don't want to go without a phone and they said they can charge me 25 and put a 500 hold on my account but they would send the phone first. Said OK phone arrives on Tuesday.
Just as an FYI they did basically say did you factory reset it.... but that is all the trouble shooting.
If anyone is interested in my symptom. Wifi is just always stuck at "turning on" every once in a while it will be off. but when you try to turn it on it just gets stuck again.
When it is stuck you can not turn it off.

Don't know if I'm a little too late to this post... .But it happened to my Nexus 6 too, tried everything, wipe cache, factory reset, root, delete /persist/wifi but nothing worked....
However, luck seems to be on my side when I went into Google Connectivity Services under Setting--> Apps... and wipe its cache and tried to disable it (but stopped before I did). Then reboot the phone once i wiped all the data from the Google Connectivity Services Apps and VIOLA! It's working now!
*EDIT... It worked for about an hour (allowing me to dl all the apps) but now it has failed again....
I have the same issue as soon and I unlock the bootloader
any ideas? Im going to root again the device and load a different to see if it makes any difference
I am experiencing this as well. Was working fine yesterday and when I tried to go to Android M Preview 3 this happened. Whats worse is that this is happening right after I switched from Unlimited Data on TMo to Project Fi with 3GB. Making this even more frustrating is that Project Fi support says the preview images are now compatible with Project Fi. Isn't that something they should be telling people up front?!
I'm having the same issue on marshmalow, it suddenly started to happen some weeks ago.
First times was solved with phone reboot.
Then was required to clean cache before restart
Now I've tried reclutance suggestion (delete data from google connectivity services and reboot but the problem persist?
I'm using 6.0.1 stock rom without root
I don't want to perform a factory reset
Any suggestion?
here too...close the wifi
All tried doesn't work,
Wipe cache
Wipe dalvik cache (via fastboot as I do not have a custom recovery neither unlocked the boot or root, my phone is completely original)
Also tried to delete wifi data
Any suggestion?
RMA
I'm continuing to have issues with my Motorola Nexus 6 phone.
It is running stock android 6.0.1
I never unlocked it or rooted (Sadly cause If i do so I were able to backup my apps and settings with titanium backup and restore it before a full device reset )
The problem started some weeks ago.
First symptom was that i was unable to enter on Settings -> Data usage (Every time receives an "unfortunately, settings has stopped" message)
Then some days have difficult to connect to wifi or disconnect (at that moment I didn't investigate the issue, just retry considering the issue was on router side)
After some time I realize that the problem was on the phone, specially cause it started to stuck turning on wifi, but for some days just turning off phone and turning it on again solves the issue.
With the time it becomes more and more frequent and turning it off and on didn't solve anything so I've reboot into recovery mode and perform a clear cache but it doesn't solve the issue.
Looking here and at other forums found that this issue is really common and some people solves it trough ADB with "adb shell pm clear com.android.settings" I've tried it but it didn't solve anything.
Even when many people didn't solve it with a factory reset I want to try it, but I need to be able to backup one app data (If could backup everything will be the best but at least need to backup blockchain app (Also have an issue with them as provider and couldn't log in from another device or website, just this device has a session already approved and open)
Any suggestion?
I've upgraded/downloaded to almost any possible rom and the problem is still here
Looking on forums found that is a very common issue since marshmallow in many devices (Specially Nexus)
Most people couldn't fix it but some could.
the problem is with devices macaddress that shown 02:00:00:00:00:00 and get stuck turning on
there are solutions in forums that seems to be a little bizarre like drain battery to 0 and full recharge (This one works for me once)
,others like deleting Google connectivity services cache, or deleting /persist/wifi folder completely
But I found one for nexus 5 who replaces the full /persist partition with a dump and edit the files and permissions with macaddress information.
This seems to have logic and provides an explanation about why the problem persist after, factory reset or rom changing so I want to try it in nexus 6.
Could someone provide me a dump of it?
There is an app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...nam.partitions, that makes the process of making a partition backup easy. The persist partition is on /dev/block/mmcblk0p26
Thanks in advance
Did you solve your problem? Because I have the same. Did you try to change Mac address on device?
