Yesterday my Kies proposed me to update to JM1 (had JF5 before). Update went fine (except the fact that I didn't backup anything... ), but now I've noticed the problem with Home Button.
It won't bring me to the desktop from application. It won't even jump to the first desktop when I am on any other one. Was definitely working on the previous firmware.
Anyone experienced the same problem?

I made a post about this a while back, after I got my tablet and keyboard together for the first time. I have several keys that don't work: 2,3,w,s, and the right arrow key. When I first got the tablet, I had the problem, but I restarted the tablet while it was docked and it went away. It was running perfectly until I installed the OTA update to 3.1. Now those keys stopped working again, and nothing I can do has brought them back. I've tried restarting in and out of the dock, even with the 10 second hold force restart. I'm still thinking this is a software issue because a simple restart fixed it before.
What do you guys think? Anyone else have this problem? Should I RMA my keyboard?
I got my A7 and flashed the 4/17 rom right away, used it stock for a couple of days then installed dexters mod1.42 and for a day or two it worked fine. Then the menu key stopped working. sometimes it would work for an hour and then stop working again. I deleted the dexter mod, wiped cache and did factory reset when the key worked and everything was fine.
Then I did the bestialbub a7-gapps zipmod and everything worked great for 4-5 days then the same problem, no menu key. are there any known apps that may cause this problem? I am waiting for the menu key to work again so I can try again, are there any settings or other mods that will get me the market but leave me close to stock.
steamtv support just had me do a reset and flash latest firmware and that doesnt help much.
Please, I love the A7 when it's working and need some help.
Thanks,
Billy
Does this happen when the back of the device is hotter than warmer? I've had this happen often when the days are warmer and hotter. That's the reason why because the heat affects parts of the wiring. The other solution is to use Button Savior (an app on the market).

The menu smart key comes and goes no matter the temp. It's not working now, sometimes it will work for a little while and then stop again. I can't wipe/reset without the memu key. I want to get it back to stock to see if it's a hardware problem then take it from there. Any suggestions anyone?

same here (I thought, I'm the only one encounter this kind of problem). My Aunt gave me A7 as present. after 2 days, all the smart keys malfunctioned. it works fine for 10 min after that it wont work anymore. I've installed button savior for remedy. I think ytain is right, A7 has problem when the back of the device becomes hot.
Hello,
I had the same issues with some of the keys of the keyboard. but at first it started only happening when the battery was low but recently it was happening all the time.
This was making my life difficult as i write some sms to my friends and it's quite annoying.
I left my phone untouched and went to repair center of my provider to show what was happening. Put my phone there for repair and in the same day went there to pick up the phone good as new.
The issue is that the stripes connecting from the keyboard to the cellphone were a bit fragile and probably broke or it wasn't making any contact whatsoever. Now i have the phone working 100%. no problem.
Hope this helps
Any ideas?
the Vega is on Vegacomb (not the very latest version but the previous one). It's sat doing nothing for around a month, I charged it the other day and went to use it (I've also powered it off and restarted numerous times).
I cannot long press on anything, it acts like a single press and launches apps, it's hard to swipe from screen to screen, only works 10% of the time (I've cleaned the screen thoroughly!)
occasionally if I press something on the right of the screen it selects something in the middle
how can I solve this?
does it need a wipe (hope not!)
cheers
I had these screen issues with vegacomb.
For me only the left third of the screen would work after a while.
I looked through many threads but it seemed as though its just a Vegacomb bug that's affects some but not all users.
I reflashed the modded stock rom, then reflashed vegacomb and it worked again but only for a day or so.
I love Vegacomb, but as I'm out and about with the tab and don't always have a laptop with me to fix it, I needed more stability. I went over to Corvus and the screen problem has never happened again since.
Hope you find a solution.

Same problem :/
On the 31.01 I flashed the official Android 4.4.2 firmware of Poland (N9005XXUENB3) on my Note 3 (SM-9005). Odin didn't want to start the installing so i removed the battery from the device and tried to start installing again. It did and everything went well. My device was so much smoother. I haven't had any problems until the 09.02 the homebutton wasn't doing its job as usual. I press the homebutton but it doesn't go from the app to the homescreen until i press a second time and it doesn't go to the multi tasking menu any more (keep press the homebutton to go the multi tasking menu. This doesn't work anymore. I restarted the phone and the problem was gone but it returned a day after that. I thought the firmware has some issues so I flashed the 4.4.2 firmware of my country when it came out on the 10.02 and the problem was gone but it returned again 3 days after that. When I restart my phone the problem disappears for several hours and then it comes back but worse. I tried to uninstall some apps. I thought it had worked but the problem returned today again.
Have you had similar problems? Do you think it is a problem related to the 4.4.2 firmware or due to a specific app? Could it be water damage (I tend to use my Note 3 with wet hands sometimes) ?

Try to keep your mobile in rice for 24 hours if problem is due to wet it will sort out.
Hi,
I recently purchased a second hand unlocked S8. It seemed to be working fine for the first 30 mins. When I did factory reset. The home launcher keeps crashing along with the bixby button.
Also I tried connecting to Smart Switch and it didn't seem to detect the phone although adb did. Tempraroy solution could be to switch the launcher to google one and maybe change the function of the Bixby button.
What can I do to restore the phone to Samsung original firmware? I want to be able to get future updates from Samsung. I appreciate all your help.
