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. ^^

[Q] Vibration function doesn't work anymore!

Hi
My 2 weeks old Samsung Galaxy has some problems, the vibration function doesn't work anymore :S.
I had installed JPH, and everything works fine. But yesterday, I had installed RyanZa Lagfix, en installed the wifi timeout function. After a new reboot the vibration function doesn't work anymore! I have select the vibration function ON, so that's not the problem.
Today I installed JPK, I was hoping that this solved the problem, but it doesn't.. So I really hope that someone can help me with this.
Is it broken, without a reason??

Thread tagged with [Q] and moved to Q&A section

did you try adjusting the intensity bar all the way to the left and right?
also enable haptic feedback

Thanks for you reaction.
Yes I did both, but nothing happens.. I'm scared that it is broken, without any reason

so far you are the first one to report this scenario.
if you feel brave enough, you might want to try and go back to a 2.1 stock firmware and see if that fixes it.
but before going crazy with that.
try going into Recovery Mode, and select Wipe Data and Wipe Cache

Thanks for trying to help me. But.. I already go back to 2.1. But again...no change. But now I'm on Jm2, the original firmware, and with this firmware I can't get to recovery mode, or download mode.
Maybe it's just a coincendence (??) that I updated the firmware, and that at almost the same time my vibration stops working..? But it's just 2 weeks old. No damage at my phone at all

try the JH2 ROM, the one that comes with the SPL 3 button fix
if you are using Odin, try it with the repartition option selected
then lets see if it restores it.
then try this code *2767*3855# on the dial pad

Get now in recovery mode etc, but got still no vibration . I'm getting tired of it..

oh well we tried... guess it is time to send it to the store for repair
one last thing to try
take out the battery
gently slap the phone over your other hand's palm, give it a few nice sound thud
but battery back on, and see if it works
... you know the good old hit it until it works type of fix
that did fix a stuck vibration on an old Treo phone before.

I have sent my phone to Samsung for reparation. Couldn't solve the problem by myself.
This is the first time for me, that I have a broken phone :S. And it was my most expensive phone.
Well hope that I have back my Galaxy soon, and that I can trust this phone.
Thanks for the help

I know this is kinda late since you already sent your phone back but it looks to be related to the Lagfix; If you ran the 2.1 instead of the 1.0 lagfix then thats probably your cause.

No vibration, no haptic feedback
Same problem overhere since two days or so.
Not rooted. Standard Froyo. Six months old.
No more vibration, no haptic feedback.
In menu Settings - Sound:
- Vibrate : Always
- Haptic Feedback: On
- Vibration Intensity: Max
Battery taken out, well shaken, battery back on, but no result.
Any suggestions, solutions?

Can you explain a little bit more? Vibration stops working on my phone, indeed I installed OCFL of the lastest version. Your post would be useful to solve it out

Thought the awful circulation in my right leg(smoking makes you cool kids!) was the reason I was missing so many calls, but few days ago I noticed this thing doesn't vibrate at all. No haptic feedback, no incoming call vibration. Thought it was related to CM7 nightlies, flashed back to JM8, no help. Guess it's warranty time. Anyone else had these kind of problems?

[Q] Vibrations gone twice

Hi
I have Installed CNA (CodeNameAndroid) 1.4.0, and now my sgs does not vibrate. I was working after I installed it, but stoped suddenly. this is not the first time this has happened to me; last time I had to take it back to my Carrier (Swisscom) to get it repaired.
Vibration is essential to me as I never have the sounds on.
Does anybody know what is braking my Vibration Motor? and does anybody know how to fix it without going back (again) to my carrier?

Hello!... I will tell about my case.
I bought the ZR in august 2013. It was rooted and flashed to 4.2.2. Everything worked fine. Until January 2014.
The first problem was - Silence during calls. I was not able to hear something. And my voice was not heard on the other side. In tests microphone and dynamic worked fine. External dynamic and earphones did not change something - silence during call remained.
After some time (phone was on and off... and again... and battery was removed some times) problem disappeared. But after one day it came back. And disappeared again... and came back... and so on for few times. The other functions all the time worked good. I only was not able to talk during calls.
I flashed the phone to 10.4.1.B.0.101... and to some previous firmwares by Flashtool. But nothing changed.
The next stage after some days was: I turned the phone off. And after turning on it was not been able to see the network. And wifi was not working. I went to settings and saw - IMEI and MAC have disappeared.
I flashed phone to 10.4.1.B.0.101 again. Nothing changed.
And after a little time phone said something like: "the system application stopped" ( I did not remember exactly). And than after rebooting it went into:
"the phone goes up to locked homescreen and then screen goes black and restarts automatically".
I think our cases may have one problem in basis. And I think the problem is in hardware.
I will go to service center. But I think they are not very good in fixing phones here...

I have the same problem, have you been able to fix it?

Since you say no IMEI then you have to fix that first of you are on warranty unroot play dumb and get a replacement
If not look for the fix

To replace the phone or get money back I should give the phone to official service center in my town. They have 45 days to fix phone. If not - i can get money back. So the phone fixing procedure may be a long time thing. I bought xperia z1 compact. And I have not a lot of time for going to service center. But when it will be done I will write here about the result.
And it's not rooted now of course

Problem was solved. Sony changed some electronic parts of my phone. Now it works good. It was the hardware dysfunction.

Urgent help needed: Phone reboots continuosly after setup

I am currently experiencing continuous reboot on my Single Sim Z3+ phone on .253 firmware. It used to be ok but about a week ago I started experiencing this problem as soon as I reboot the phone after setting it up from a fresh install with full wipe. It seems to work normal on earlier builds like 28.0.A.8.266 so only happens on 32.1.A.1.185; 32.2.A.0.224 - .253. I repeat, I have done fresh install with Full wipe several times but problem still exists. Urgent help needed.
Thanks

Hello yawo76,
I have the same device, and I had the same problem, what I did is the next:
With flashtool, download the stock firmware via xperia firm on the same tool (I have successful with E6553_32.2.A.0.253_1295-0156_R6C), after that, in the options, be sure that the MiscTA Exclude options are check, that's the clue. After that complete the setup menu, and try again.
Regards! and sorry for my horrible english.

I do have the same issue. I have Z3+ Dual. Random reboot and/or sleep of death.
What I saw from other posts about hardware issue (no other proof), is about the NFC antenna. But I tried and nothing changed.
I have my phone fresh ROM .253 MM installed and click all the way to home screen and let it sit. Well, nothing happened for many hours 5-6hr. Almost every other hardware functions off. However, once I turned on WIFI, something happened. Blank screen and 3 red LED blinks to reboot. A few moments later at home screen.
Soon, sleep of death (SOD). It is like, when the phone is standby (black screen sleep), when I pushed power button to wake the phone, it won't turn screen on. Like it's hang or something. No choice but to hard reset so that I could turn back on.
Then, I played with WIFI setting and saw a "Keep Wifi On during Sleep". I switched to "never" and tried let it sit again. I found out problem was gone for 10 hours (this is best record now, usually 2-3 hours, reboot happened).
I am still monitoring.
Wish you can try and confirm this.

I ran many tests about this issue. Found out it was the material of board or CPU or power which was not made strong enough. I tried tuning the CPU a little (just like PC of CPU tuning). So that it will not cause SOD, random reboot issue. It was also adjusted such that the battery saves much and prolong the usage of the phone.
With sitting of standby the phone is not running warm. Messages or phone calls will not delay in receiving. Plus, it draws about 2% of juice during standby of 6-8 hours.
Worth the try.
