[Q] Need your help - Hardware buttons stop working

Hey, guys. I need your collective genius. I have a weird issue with my Note 3 that I can't figure out and it's driving me crazy. Basically, after a random period of time, my home button will stop working for single press (so, I can't go home). Long press still takes me to multitasking and the back and menu softkeys still work, but after the device turns off, the power button will not turn it back on. A reboot always fixes the issue, but then it crops up again later at a random time.
Relevant info:
I am rooted
I have Adaway installed and blocking ads
Running Nova Launcher with Teslaunread
Froze the Knox apps with Titanium backup, but I did not use TB to do a restore of any kind. I also have a few assorted bloatware apps frozen like Yahoo finance, but nothing critical.
I do not have a custom recovery and there are no other hacks (i.e. xposed framework, etc)
I uninstalled all non-essential apps, but there's no pattern to when it happens, so an app is unlikely to be the cause.
Basically, I'm just rooted with adblock and a few apps frozen. Nothing crazy. No custom rom or anything and I didn't mess with any system files. Does anyone have any ideas? My next step was to uninstall Nova, but I don't think that's the cause. It's maddening because it happens so randomly that there's no way to really nail down the cause and I'd really rather not do a wipe.
I dont think you have software issue I think its a faulty device. My galaxy tab 3 7.0 had the same issue where it would randomly stop working I had to trade it in
Try "swipe home button" app from Google play. Whrn you think the home button stops use that one instead and if swipe works then it might be a hardware issue if swipe doesn't work either then probably a software one and perform a hard reset. That's all I can think of now.

I forgot about that app! I was looking for a way to enable on-screen soft keys. Thanks.

So, it looks like it may have been the memory card. It was one of the SanDisk class 10s and I had had it for some time. It had around 1000 pics on it. I got a new class 10 SanDisk card, formatted it in the phone and haven't had a freeze or lock up since.

Voice wake up Google App

So I use the "ok Google" wake up feature quite a bit, but a couple of days ago it just stopped working and the on off setting for it is grayed out. Any ideas? I'm running stock.

May be something that inadvertently made Bixby the default assistant? (Just ballparking) Also I've been going nuts wondering why sometimes when I access APPS I have to re-register for some... Found out it was because I had left Secure Folder active in my button array.

I thought about that too. Google is still my default assistant app. It comes up and works fine when I hold my home button. Might try disabling Bixby all together.
Bixby should work with Google Assistant perfectly fine. Have you installed any other voice app? Cortana? Alexa?
Try to re-train Google for your voice again if you can.
Was Google Assistant updated recently?

Bixby Briefing not Working on Galaxy Note 9? (Alarm)

Hey,
somehow I seem to have a problem getting Bixby briefing to work on my freshly bought Galaxy Note 9.
I have already tried to reinstall Bixby, as well as changing my language from German to English, no luck.
Tried to remove all my alarms and clearing Bixby data, no luck.
Yes, I checked Samsung AppStore and both apps are on the latest version.
Me too. Love the Bixby briefing alarm in my note 8 but it gone in note 9...

After most recent OTA Bixby button does not function and Galaxy Store is nowhere

I installed an OTA security update last night, and this morning tried using the Bixby button to launch phone. For over a month I have had Bixby button to launch phone on single press. Now when I single press, double press, or long press it does nothing.
Bixby Service and Bixby Voice Stub and Bixby Vision Framework are all installed. Am I missing something?
I also noticed this morning that the Galaxy Apps Store was not installed. I had it installed last night, and fully themed with Substratum and Swift Installer. This seems to be a smaller problem, because I had the apk of version 6.6.01.6 in my downloads folder, just needed to be installed.
Did the OTA somehow uninstall these apps, or is something else going on?

sounds like the update didn't go as planned.
i would suggest doing a factory reset and go from there. i always do rhis after an update anyways as it improves performance and battery life slightly.

I was hoping that a factory data reset wouldn't be necessary. This is primarily because some of the apps I have installed will permanently lose functionality If wiped from my system.
