Some days my home button is slow to respond (I have to hit it multiple times before it works), some days my home button doesnt work at all, other days it works the first time every time as it should. Does anyone else have this issue? I've read a few menu button issues through XDA but never read if there were solutions besides exchanging the phone. I've had my Vibrant for just over a month now and besides the one time it got SMS threads confused and sent a text to the wrong person, I haven't had any issues. I dont want to send my phone in and get a refurbished phone and run the risk of having new issues!

I couldn't find it in any search, sorry if I missed it. So, here's my deal:
When composing an e-mail, text message or searching on the internet sometimes I won't be able to long press a key to get to the other keys (like long pressing 'K' to get '?'). It happens across the keyboard and is getting more frequent. If I reboot it will work again or sometimes if I just kill the program it will work. Does that mean it's a software issue or hardware or both? I am also curious if anyone else has passed by this issue and, if so, what you did to fix it. Thanks for any help.
I'm running everything stock. Stock messaging app. Dolphin HD browser. Stock e-mail clients. Phone version 002 with latest update.

That's not normal at all. I'd take it to Sprint before even bothering to figure it out.
As for the root of the problem, it could be software, hardware, or both. I remember on my HTC Vogue (Touch), I would get screen problems, but, a hard reset would always fix it. So, it could be a variety of things, and even more reason for you to just take your phone in and get it swapped.

Thanks, I'll try it.
This probably isn't your problem, but you can't long press a key if you hit a key, then slide to the key that you want to long press on, so if you're hitting a key accidentally then sliding to the key you want it won't work. That's just a suggestion
MINE HAS DONE THIS EVER SINCE THE UPDATE, AND I HAVE HEARD OF OTHERS DOING THIS AS WELL. Sometimes it works, other times it wont. Hit or miss.
i've had this since day one. long pressing on links in xscope sometimes took multiple tries.
I called Sprint and they are shipping me a new/referb phone. Didn't think I'd get it for a while but it shipped the next day and I should have it tomorrow. I hope I get a good one and the problem is fixed.
I think i discovered a huge issue with the new firmware. When i have a second line calling me the screen does not wake up allowing me to switch to the second call. In the past, when a second call comes in the proximity sensor would wake the screen and allow me to take or reject the call. Now i cant even see who is calling. Since i use the phone for business, this is a big, big issue. Anyone else experience this?
Can anyone please check this for me please by calling their voicemail and then dialing their own cell # from another phone please. Thanks
you're right. phone does not wake up but you can push the power button wake it up.
I tested.
When the phone beeps to tell me a have another call i take phone away from my head and proximity censor takes a little longer..like 5 sec before screen comes on.
But mine doesn't stay off like yours...tested 5 times

My screen does come on eventually about 5 seconds. Before it used to be instant. Hitting the power button doesn't wake the phone like the other user mentioned. Do u guys think a factory reset will help. I am reluctant to take the plunge cause its such a pain in the neck to reinstall everything.
I have the same issue as well. I tested 3 times and the issue existed every time. I tried to unlock the phone with power button but it wouldn't unlock it (maybe lag?) because after I pressed power button 4 times, THEN it lit up for a moment but by that time, the waiting call already ended.
I'm surprised more people aren't bothered with this serious issue.
Got the same issues, updated via ODIN, argh that's gonna be fun.
Interesting...it would be great if you guys contacted Samsung via email/other method to let them know about the issue. Hopefully they can fix this bug.

I would love to contact them, just not sure where/how. Even if they do fix it, it will only come with another bug fix OTA or Froyo whichever comes first. Given Samsung's track record, this will probably take a while. To me personally, this is an earth shaterring issue since i use the phone exclusively for business being on multiple lines often. Its so bad for me that if it isnt fixed by the time the new mytouch HD comes out, I will have to dump the vibrant even though i love it so much. Me missing calls far outweighs the "love" for this handset.
Its been a few days now since many of us have gotten the update and I am surprised so few of us have not reported this. Has anyone been able to come up with a temporary fix or a replacement dialer to alleviate the horrible issue??
its been a few days now since many of us have gotten the update and i cant believe how so few people have complained about this. It is so annoying not to see who is calling on the second line .
I just got the firmware today and I'd be willing to go back. I missed three calls today because of it. Now what do I do?
so i'm a new fascinate user and not even 1 month in, i noticed my phone randomly reboots. as days pass, it looks like it's getting a lot more frequent. i also noticed that when i tap or hit my phone little hard, it reboots? is this common? i'm not rooted yet(just waiting for the gingerbread) or done anything to my phone yet. just recently updated to 2.2.1 and installed a sd card but that couldn't be it right? also calls get dropped a lot.
please help
No this not common, exchange it for a new one
Yep...sounds like a hardware problem. Take it back and get a new one

yeah i did a factory reset and didn't install anything. left bare stock and still when i "slap" the phone down to my palm, it reboots.

please close this thread
Might be the battery.

Ok so i have this issue when ever i get a text and a pop up comes up it displays what was previously said from the person this is with chat from google talk and also handcent i cannot figure out why also when i go to look at my latest text message the olds ones are still at the top from another user i have played around with the phone all day no such luck on fixing it
So no one has notification issues?

Mayne try backing up and flashing the back up or just flashing over it. Havent heard that issue. I had to deal with a battery issue the last 2 days. Required 7 battery wipes and 3 flashes but i only lost 2 days worth of material and everything else is intact.
I voided my warranty and your mum.
Well it's a known issue in Handcent that sometimes changing from landscape to portrait mode causes the conversation list to skip back to the first message, making you scroll all the way back down to the latest text. Or you gotta hit the back button and reenter the conversation. Also, it sounds like you may be getting some late / double texts? If so, that could be an tower problem from wherever you're receiving the texts from, or the one closest to you. For example two weeks ago my ex girlfriends cell phone sent me 75 of the same text message over and over. Turns out it was a tower near where she was at somehow thinking the message wasn't sent.
Damn. 75 texts. Id be pisses. Ive had double texts all day a couple of time but that takes the cake.

(incoming completely off topic story)
i was texting my friend once, and it sent the same text 7 times, and then BAM all of a sudden all the texts she sent me came at once after that. so i got the same text seven times, and then about 10 texts coming in all at once after that >.<

Espectro the thread message and atar again. I already have this issue

So I started noticing a few days ago that the send button for text messages wasn't working with the keyboard up. Only when I dismissed the keyboard could I send a text message. Well it turns out that the same spot doesn't respond to touch when selecting or swiping on the home screen as well. I have tried using multiple launchers, and rebooting fixes for a short amount of time.
I am getting ready to Odin PF2 to hopefully fix this issue, and hopefully fix a few other issues I have with this phone. Like Facebook and YouTube tell me I have no network connection when I can do a speedtest just fine.
If anyone else has had these issues please leave a comment, or if you have another solution.
Thank you!
