I have a Nexus S running 2.3.4 and today i reset everything to factory default and now when i press the home button and the search button it just vibrates and nothing happens.
Before it would take me to home or to the search window.
IS there a setting somewhere that I need to chage ?
This happened to me as well today, after unlocking the boot loader and flashing a new (stock) rom. Just restarted the device and everything went back to normal... for now.

The home button on my G1 stopped working, so, I unrooted the phone, but now it's stuck on the stock recovery (Triangle/Exclamation point screen). I've been able to do Alt S and alt+L, (Alt+w doesn't work, I think the w is also broken), but I can't reboot because it asks for home and back button to reboot. Any other suggestions on what i can do to fix this?
First off, i would appreciate any help. I've had my girlfriends phone rooted and running gingeryoshi rc4 for the past few months. She dropped her phone from about a foot high and it turned off on her. When she turned it back on, it booted into recovery.
I'm running amon recovery on it. I've tried running a recent nandroid, and it say it completes, but when it restarts, it boots back into recovery... I've tried fresh installs of different roms, other nandroids, partitioning sd card, and clearing everything. All the installas say they work, but they boot back into recovery.
Now, what I notice that is weird, is that when you have to confirm your actions in amon recovery, and you have to press the home button to confirm, i dont have to press it, it does it automatically. But then, sometimes it doesn't do it automatically and pressing the home button doesn't confirm that action, but the menu button will confirm the action. Other times the menu button will do what is supposed to do, and abort its task.
Oh, and I was able to boot up once after a fresh install of gingeryoshi rc7. But the setup wizard crashed and there was never any launcher or home screen, but there was a status bar and lockscreen. Sometimes I think it boots straight into recovery because the home button is stuck? But it's actions don't make it seem stuck
Sorry for making it so long, any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks.
Hi guys,
My Mrs. Orange SanFran has all of a sudden decided it doesnt want it's screen touched anymore. All the hard buttons are working and can not see any other issues. Seems there are several people who have experienced it but it seems to resolved itselfon a restart but her's isn't, no matter how long I take the battery out or pressing the reset under the battery cover I can't use the screen making it useless.
Any ideas? I stuck a custom Rom of 2.2 on it when first got it but can't remeber which one, maybe modaco Kitchen R12 Rom.
Cheers
Reboot to recovery, Wipe both Dalvik and normal cache, and restart. If that doesn't help, do a factory reset / wipe data, and restart. If that doesn't help re-install the rom.
Thanks for the tip, but I tried to enter recovery by holding down volume key when powering up but a screen breifly loaded that had the small text "android" written upsidedown but then just goes on loop of the screen and the standard screen, can't do anything.
Holding up volume whilst powering on doesn;t do anything and because I can't use the touch screen I can't access any recovery apps through the phone OS.
It's weird cause I've used to recovery mode on phone boot before as first ROM didn't work, so I know the recovery module worked before, no idea why not now. :-s
Could be either bad flash/root or faulty hw. Google "de-bricking a ZTE Blade".
Thanks again. Came across a very thorough article on modaco but unfortunately the phone won't do anything than a normal startup when holding the up volume or up and menu, so can't try any of the suggestions.
The volume buttons do work though as moved the volume in the OS
Just to be sure: you did first press & hold the volume down button, and then press & hold the power button? You have to hold them both down until the recovery menu pops up. I can take even 10 seconds or more.
If everything fails, try TPT flash. It should solve if there is no hardware issue.
Ok so, I was going to flash CM 9 v1 on my device, and when i was in clockworkmod recovery I noticed that the power button wasn't working at all.
I took out the battery and put it back and then it reboot itself and got stuck on the unlocked padlock screen.
Then i managed to boot it by pressing vol up and down at the same time and putting the battery in when plugged on the computer with the usb cable. This is the only way i can boot it. And after it runs a while it crashes and reboot into the unlocked padlock again. And this over and over.
Then I tried to go to recovery to reflash with the soft sensitive buttons and the fastboot screen doesn't do anything at all. If I press vol up or down to move around it gets stuck.
Got it to work a while and reverted back to stock rom with rom manager to see if fastboot worked again but nothing happened.
I need help to fix this.
I try to go to download mode but it doesn't work either. ADB works tho
Any suggestion??
(sorry fot the bad english)
i actually had the exact same issue a few weeks ago

i had to send it to samsung repair center
they fixed it for free and it turns out the issue was indeed the power button

I tried installing this mod:

But my phone got a bootloop, so i flashed the stock firmware 4.4.2 Gt-i9505 via odin and it worked..sort of.
Now the home button, notification center, the settings icon in the pulldown menu, the button next to it,my lockscreen and long pressing the wifi to the multiwindow button doesn't work. Power menu only contains reboot and power off, used to have airplane mode and volume buttons.
Menu, back, volume keys and power button are working. And home button wakes the screen if its of.
Please help :crying::crying::crying:
PS I don't like to do a full wipe
Also tried replacing framework-res.apk with another one, another bootloop, so reflashed the same rom again.
