[Q] Touch buttons dont work after call

Hi everyone
A issue I have noticed on mine and brothers phone
Basically, after a phone call, the touch bottoms (menu and back buttons) dont work sometimes, they just freeze and dont work.
It doesnt happen all the time, maybe 1 or 2 times a day. It requires a restart of the phone by taking the battery out
Just wandering if anyone has experienced this problem on there note and whether it is a software or hardware problem. Buttons work fine at all other times, but sometimes after a call they just freeze.
Thanks

Same problem here! I don't need to take out battery, just reboot device
Any idea? Root? What ROM?

This thing has too many troubles for users. Just got mine but haven't used it yet. Samsung hasn't made a good phone so far. Problems left to right. Note could be my last Samsung phone.

i have noticed the same thing too, but i am running Sheep Rom, it seems intermittent. what rom are you running?

I used to have issues with my prior android phone if I got dirt or whatever over the proximity sensor.
Android phones disable the touchscreen/buttons during a phone call so your cheek doesn't hang up the phone.
If your phone is dirty, however, it gets confused, and keeps things disabled after the call.
This happened to me fairly often when I had a case/screen collector that tended to collect pocket lint.

You can't be bleeding edge without some bleeding.
The GNote ain't perfect and it's a bit rough on the edges, but there's no way I would trade it for any other phone.

This. You shouldn't go Samsung or Android if you don't want to do some finetuning. If you want an out of the box solution take buy an iPhone. Then you can wait for Apple to release updates instead of being able to fix it yourself the same day.

i agree, its not even a hardware problem, its a software problem. i can accept small glitches as long as i can fix them, unfortunately you cant fix a hardware malfunction with software, unless of course the patch your applying is going directly over the antenna like a certain iGadget4

Hi
Even i am facing the same issue n need to know what is the sol. If it is a hardware issue should i get my phone replaced. I bought it only yesterday.
For me too it happens occassionally and requires restart of the phone.
Please help someone.
Just a guess - if all users r not facing it is it a hardware issue

I had this happen once after about 4weeks of using sgn. I don't know if i had made a call prior or what, just before it happened. A reboot made the problem go away for an hour or so. It came back.
I had installed an app a few hours earlier (dell store mobile app). I removed it - not really expecting to fix it. . . It didn't.
After some futzing, I rebooted into cwm recovery: flushed dalvic cache and fix permissions and rebooted. .. it has been working ever since.
This has happened only once, a few days ago. I'd wager it is a software issue.

Even I am also facing the same issue on Sheep ROM
Is this a ROM specific issue or Kernel ?

Same problem here !
I have been using the SGN for the past 4 days. I had this problem in the Stock ROM and it remains even after rooting the phone.
This phone/tablet seems to be a premature release with loads of small problems here and there. I guess they plan to remove these errors directly in ICS.

I believe the problem is on the kernel, try to get some that is stable.
If you are on original stick with it, if you have it rooted try to get the newest kernel.
What happen is that the proximity sensor closes the phone screen, and lower the speed of the cpu, in some times the cpu have some collapses and forget, what you need is to control the cpu or turn off the proximitor sensor, something like that.
I dont have that problem, with both official rom and rooted phone with abyssnote.
I hope this help.

It happened with me too, 2-3 times. Few hours ago I was checking a pdf document and I received a call and the other party couldnt hear me well. While he was calling me again everything froze. Neither touch buttons nor the screen was working. I had to take the battery out, since I couldnt turn it off because of the unresponsive screen. This is really bugging me off.

I've had this occur to me twice, first time I was fidgeting with some app I can't even remember which, second time just a while ago (and that's why I went in here searching), right after making a call.
Using the S-Pen to swype-gesture back and menu they work though, it's just the buttons themselves that are dead.
Wouldn't think the proximity has anything to do with it (nice idea anyway) because then the whole screen should be unresponsive to touchm, wouldn't it?
BTW I am using xlite rom now, and maybe I could go for the cache wiping.
EDIT: I had cleared cache partition and dalvik cache this morning, ths afternoon the note has been sitting idle on the desk, 2mA drain according to battery monitor widget estimates, and without any calls the buttons stopped working again...

+1 I'm using Abyssnote kernel too - no problems with soft buttons yet.

anyone find a fix for this yet? i have to reboot my phone after pretty much every call to get the buttons working again. starting to get really annoying
forgot to mention im on stock rom unrooted

Reset and Root - CFKernel and AbyssNote worked for me

I had rooted and applied CF Kernel to my rom and had faced a few problems. But after wiping and applying CFRoot (latest) again I did not face any problems.
I have had no problems in the past 24 hours.
You can use the guide by Chainfire to root and apply CF Kernel (the best guide ever) and test for a day or two. then try moving to AbyssNote1.4 (I moved because I wanted to test OC)
Before you root and flash kernel, I will recommend factory resetting(since you are unrooted at the moment) and do not install any apps - because that is what actually worked for me.
UPDATE :
I havr started facing button issue on 1.4 AbyssNote as well.

Same problem here not woking :-( :-( :-(

How to fix this bug???

So, some news. I've been fighting with a nasty battery drain due to the phone being unable to keep the deep sleep status. In the process I've tried flashing AbyssNote kernel 1.2 (people were saying 1.4 suffered from high drains, and I haven't seen this problem since then... but it's been just a few, so it may be too soon.

I can confirm high battery drains with Abyss 1.4 (revert back to 1.2). But it is the only kernel which don´t suffer "touch buttons bug"

[Q] Random shut downs

My VZW 2nd gen. Moto X is randomly shutting down on me at work while it is in my pocket. The phone gets a little warm and doesn't always boot back up right away when I hold the power button. It almost seems as though it is actually frozen rather than shutting down. I do have rather poor cell reception in my work place (a grocery store that is all metal and concrete), but I use wifi. Other than that I have no idea what to attribute this issue to. The only other thing I can think of is if the IR sensors are going crazy in my pocket while I'm walking around literally all day.
Any input is appreciated.

I had issues of freezing and rebooting when I switched to ART for the first time. I factory reset the phone then switched back to ART and haven't had any problems since.

I am having this exact same problem. Yesterday my phone randomly shut down twice or three times while I was using it and today again. Afterwards it could not be rebooted by the power-button or another combination of buttons. Only plugging in the charger helped: It then started automatically and I could remove the charger after only a few seconds without any problem. The battery was not low, but at about 70 - 80 %.
Until yesterday I have not had any problems with this phone battery-wise. It lasts usually for about two or even three days without recharging (I charge it almost every night, though).
I cannot remember having installed an app the last few days, but I just realized some days ago, that the voice recognition ("ok google..." stuff) has been reactivated, as I have turned that off when I first got the phone. And I haven't found the option to turn it off again, yet.
I would be grate if anyone had a solution for this problem. It's quite annoying.

PAC ROM on Tenderloin/ HP Touchpad
Hopefully, I am not the only one with this issue. I have searched around but no answers
I installed the latest PAC ROM on my Touchpad and have been able to update it to 4.4.4. I moved over from Evervolv and the performance jump appears to be significant. I do get the sense that the screen resolution/display is a bit reduced and not as high quality as the Evervolv version but it could be a simple case of my eyes deceiving me.
Regardless, here is my question - I have set up multiple users with me being the owner/administrator and the other accounts set up as restricted users .
The device works fine under the Administrator/Owner account. However, the restricted user accounts do not work. I have setup three different accounts and selection of any one of them after startup causes a reboot. Switching from an Administrator/Owner account to the restricted account also leads to a reboot.
Would appreciate any help/guidance/suggestions on how this can be fixed. Thanks.

My device take so long to reboot and also big lack when I use power or home button to wake up the screen. Other than that I love this Rom and using in severeal devices. Running latest 10-31 here.

Any one wanting to help me? Or do I have to post 10 of these silly notes to get to post to the real forums?

Hi
Thanks for the rom, I've had a coupe of issues, hope this feedback helps. The first one was after installing the 3.0 kernel 18 nov rom, mounting the ext partition on Windows 7 was flaky. Attempting to copy large chunks of data back to touchpad would freeze after about 100 to 300 mb. However, plugging in since had worked fine. Strange.
Trebuchet was scaling icons on home screens and drawer. Switched to nova and all looks better.
Next is the pac settings. Just enabling halo once has messed things up with the button bar. Back stopped doing any actions. The button settings section is broken, with buttons and lastly sub menu having top headings of rearrange/settings repeating every time you switch to the settings app. When it's like this neither rearrange our settings respond to key press.
After a reboot back button works for a while, and then stops working (across all apps and launcher).
Flashed 24Nov, back button issue still there, now considering to remove user data. If there's an option to restore pac defaults I might try that.

Or your issue is so specific that no one else has reported it, and since it's not repeatable, no one can help you. Most likely any issue with multiuser in CM11 is with Android itself, not the ROM. Try some other ROM and see if you have the same problem.

Very valid.........or it could be that there is a problem with the ROM?!
I had a different ROM about two months ago and multi-user worked fine on it. I switched to this ROM for performance. Although I was able to setup multiple users on this ROM, I cannot log in to the additional user accounts that have been setup
Hoping it is a bug with this ROM and I can get educated on the option to fix it. Please help and bump to the regular discussion thread where I can post my request.

Thanks
shumash, thanks for posting the query to the main forum....no answers but that is not the point. Thank you for being helpful and for taking the time. Appreciate it.
Hopefully, there will be an answer OR it might that the ROM does not support this feature. Via a terminal window, I have verified that Android is reporting the max number of users that have been setup. So, have to think it might be bug in the ROM.

I just setup another user account (not a restricted one). Rebooted and logged in with no problems. I'm not sure what the problem is, but it doesn't appear to be with the ROM.

Good golly, that is good news indeed!
So, I retraced all of the work. This time, instead of restricted users, I setup up regular additional users. Kept my fingers crossed, waited for the planets and the stars to align and watched the screen closely. No go. So, something is not quite right then at my end. shumash, thanks for the confirmation.
I did the next best thing. I updated the ROM from Oct 13 build to the latest. Cleaned the cache, installed the ROM and GAPSS and restarted......and then waited......and then waited.......and then some more......and then some more......did I say I waited for the boot process to complete?!
Finally, the screen is up, and I setup the additional users and then selected the new user to login. It worked! Deleted the new user and setup a restricted user. It worked! So, only thing I can figure out from this excitement is that the old ROM had a problem which has been fixed in the new ROM....or some gremlins were out to get me and they are now gone.
Either way, thank you. I have a working device. Will play with it some more and share feedback if u like....but here are a couple to consider - the start up process is taking almost five minutes....my PC boots faster! The Oct ROM was a snap to boot up but this is on the slow train to nowhere! Not sure what happened last night but I went to bed after the update around 2:30am....turned the device on at 9am and found the battery had run down completely. Not sure why.
Seems there are some compatibility problems with online audio streaming and blue tooth speakers? I cannot get TuneIn to work with external blue tooth speakers. The stream is lost and TuneIn craters......will give it a try for a few more days. TuneIn itself works fine. But when I try to stream to an external speaker via BT, it is goodbyesville.
let me know if you want me to share feedback.....and if u bump me into the main forum, I can post it right there rather than this rookie holding space!

A bit of an update......figured a few more things in life with this ROM
The battery issue was a one-time thing. Have not seen that drainage issue again. So, good news. What I did see is some thing is not quite right in how the battery is getting charged. My completely drained battery was fully charged in less than 30 minutes.....something that takes quite a few hours normally. I can only chalk it to something not quite right with the code in the ROM regards battery charging and capacity. Backing this is the Battery Doctor app.....while it states the battery is fully charged, the ROM indicates charging is not yet complete. Not sure which one or if both of them are getting inaccurate read on the battery in this ROM. Will keep an eye on it for a bit more time but no issue with battery drainage
Same story on the wireless streaming on BT. It was a bad call. All is fine but I seemed to have lost all of my bookmarks in TuneIn. Had to set them up again but will keep an eye on them.
Now if only I can get excited about watching paint dry or the grass growing while it reboots.....sigh!

Another update.....there is still something funky with the battery charging. I thought it was a mistake and a non-issue in my update yesterday. There is an issue. My tablet went to deep freeze last night. Cannot quite figure out what the issue is.
The tablet was at 65% charge when I was ready to call it a night around 2am. To be sure that there was nothing else that would cause problems, I rebooted the tablet and set it aside. The battery charge went down to 64% after the reboot. Set it aside for the night to check on its performance. Tried to turn it on @ 9am approx and the device would not come one. No sign of life when placed on the charging stand. Not even the dead/empty battery sign. Left it there for a few hours and still now sign of life. Did a hard reset of the tablet and it came one and displayed a charge of 13%. That is after it was on the charging stand for atleast 3 - 4 hours which accounts for the little bit of charge it showed. Took all day to get full charged. Did not touch it until it was fully charged. I am going to do the same tonight i.e. reboot the tablet and set it aside. Will see what happens.
Anyone experience this with the Dec release of the ROM? I installed the Battery Monitor widget to see if I can figure out what is going on. Will share an update when I see a bit more information.

Despite other claims to the contrary, the Touchstone charger has always been funky for me. Try using the usb barrel charger.

I will have to dig for it somewhere.....not sure if I have it anymore! I think I do, but not sure where it is.
I have been using the Touchstone charger for a couple of years now without problems......so, unless, we have an extraordinary coincidence, I would not think that is the problem. But again, strange things have happened......will post an update when I have figured out more clues.

The Barrel charger comes with the Touchstone you just need a decent usb lead.

Thanks, sstar, for the tip. Fortunately, I found the original charger cable and barrel. As I suspected, the issue was not with the Touchstone. I have charged with the barrel as well as the the Touchstone. I seem to have stabilized the issues with no more surprises. No more run down tablet with no charge left, no more blue tooth streaming issues. Have not played with the camera, etc. but that is not an active need for me.
Multi-user works well, device streams well, blue tooth works well, battery charges well (with the charger as well as Touchstone). All is well in PACROM land., atleast from where I sit at!
Open items from my end is the long boot time. As I mentioned earlier, the October release was a snap to boot/reboot. Less than a minute. This version takes almost 5 minutes - one minute of a blank screen followed by over 3 minutes of insert coin. I am sure there is a reason for this change and that smart folks are working to get this improved. I did notice that the boot sequence often fails and starts over once or twice before settling down to complete the full five minutes of startup.
Now to the mystery of what could have discharged the battery completely - I have no clues here. Atlease once, I did not see it complete the full boot sequence, so perhaps, it crashed during the boot sequence and bled the battery dry. Other times, I know it was a fresh boot that had completed fully. I have installed battery widget to monitor the battery charging/discharging and have noticed an anamoly atleast once which could be simply attributed to an application/measurement error. The widget reported a battery charge during the middle of the night when all creatures big and small in this home had gone to bed.....excepting the gremlins who volunteered to plug in the tablet for a charge for a brief moment!
Thanks to all of the good folks behind the PACMAN ROM. It is a wonderful and capable ROM and is an excellent demonstration of the community putting its best foot forward for the betterment of life! Thank you all again. Kudos and keep up the good work.:good::good::good::good::good:

Probably not a ROM issue. With latest build, mine boots in 40-50 seconds. Don't know what your problem is, but sometimes it's a network issue. Turn off wifi, boot with it off, and see if the boot time improves. If not, you may need to go the complete clean and install via TP Toolbox.

Disable NavBar on HPTouchpad PACMAN Rom
Hey All,
I've installed PACMAN Rom KK RC-3 dev recently with kernel 3.4 and it works very well. Battery live is very good and everything works a bit smoother than with my old CM11.
I choosed PACMAN because there are a lot of customisations... so i liked to get rid of this navbar! Can't count how often i hit HOME instead of spaceon the virt keyboard.
i planned to enable pie on the bottom border left side.
Now i have trouble getting rid of the navbar. In the Past pacman had customisation oints for AOKP, paranoid settings now there's only PAC settings. After Googling i can't find these settings (maybe because these posts where from jan-jun and an earlier pacman version)
ROM control > navigation bar > menu location > don't show
Hybrid Properties --> Interface, under Workspace drag the slider for "Navigation Bar Size" to 0%
installed build: pac_tenderloin-userdebug4.4.4KTU84Qeng.shumash.20141201.130846 test-keys
Can someone point me to the correct settingspage or give me a hint?
Do i have to wait for a newer release?
Thanks a lot and keep up the good work, you've gained a follower for this ROM

Anyone know what it's for?

Well, it's from September 2, so who knows

Small update, only 47MB.
Text before update only mentioned security updates - nothing about Samsung Cloud or the Gallery app update that was delivered in Europe. Once it finishes updating and optimizing apps, I can see whether anything changed besides moving to a more recent security patch level.

I only noticed Google's monthly security fixes here. I didn't see or notice any other changes.

@evilvoice @stoobie-doo @mixxxk what's the build no.? Is it not N930PVPU2APHE update?

@mixxxk thanks!
The ATT's page also mentions it.. September patch and that's it.

Would have been nice if they had removed or allowed us to remove Milk Music, since, well, the service is dead as of 9/22...

Still rootable?

It increments the BL to version 4.

I'm not sure if it was the update or not and I haven't installed anything else, but today the android system is EATING my battery. I had been getting around 7hrs of sot but today it's less then 2hrs sot and at 5%. It's showing android system had used like 24 or 25% of my battery and it is at number one for battery consumption.

I'm also suffering from a very hot slow phone that's eating the battery. What's going on???

Anyone have an Odin of this update?

Came here to say I'm having terrible battery life as well since the update. Weird thing is, I updated a couple days ago and the battery issues started today. I also have these disabled the settings from the link below fwiw

I am too in need of the September Odin files. Tried to downgrade back to July firmware files through Odin after OTA and got the "fused binary" error because of the new bootloader update. Now my EFS partition is damaged and I'm getting wifi password forgets and stability issues among other things.

These days, AT&T is more of an evil empire than Verizon. No WiFi Calling, no VoLTE, no enhanced features unless you use AT&T branded phones. No publishing ROM/firmware files. Locked bootloaders (Samsung is also responsible, I know). AT&T has become the least mod friendly carrier. If anyone gets the PI1 files, please do share.

Also wanted to mention, DO NOT TRY TO RE FLASH ANY PREVIOUS FIRMWARE FILES WITH ODIN after this OTA update. Not only will the update fail, but it may corrupt certain partitions like it has on mine. I am also suspecting the U firmware will no longer flash with the new bootloader update until files are released for that bootloader. Someone please correct me if I am wrong. I will try to do an "emergency software revovery" with smart switch later tonight, if anyone is interested in the results let me know.

Glad I flashed international firmware... no oculus bs here! And my android system is back to normal, around 12%.

Run Time

My phone has been on (has not turned off or restarted) in 80+ days. Nothing much else to share. Still working great! The only issue I have noticed is that my battery is dying a lot faster than before. May be related to not restarting, but I'm not sure.

What about during OTA updates?

Hey! That is the downfall. I had not received an OTA update since I flashed to a UK version (for the fingerprint scanner).
I ended up restarting the phone after 100 days. Phone did a great job. Also, I recently flashed another custom firmware so that I could acquire the September 2018 update. The battery life on this phone is incredible (after the September update).
