My Vibrants home button just stopped working. I have to tap it like 10 times to
make it work and then it just stops again. I know its a known issue and i am sure
alot of your guys had this problem as well. Are there ways to fix it? or no.

I have never heard of this issue, what did you do to cause it.. What did you flash?
Did you drop it?
p.s, wrong section.

Hmmm, still haven't heard of the issue.
Did you try reflashing?

Where are these "many people", because I have also never heard this one?
Not saying it's not true, but I'm pretty active reading most of the major threads and haven't seen this as an issue before.
I would try flashing a different ROM just to make sure it's not a bad flash. If that doesn't clear it up, you can be sure that it's hardware related.
I had the same issue with my first vibrant. Call tmobile and get a replacement.

I experience this every once in awhile. I really think its just lag. I find myself pressing my back and menu button multiple times. But its usually when I have multiple apps running at the same time. But its not often of enough to call it broken. It was a orginal hardware lock phone.
I have this issue with the menu button sometimes. It doesn't feel like lag because the buttons don't even light up. Seems to be more prevalent on froyo roms.
***Swyped onto XDA via Vibrant***
So the conclusion is that its a software issue or hardware?
This problem does exist maybe not with the majority of users.. but I too suffer from this problem every now and then. Sometimes my home button will work flawless and sometimes it can be a pain in the ass!! literally becoming unresponsive to the point of multiple taps in order to get some response. I'm sure its not lag because this even takes place at the home screen with literally nothing going on in the background.
Had the exact same issue, it is software. In my case I've been using the Zeam launcher, it was NOT Zeam at fault, rather the Gingerbread Launcher Free that came loaded with my ROM. I found a post with the same symptoms from someone who was using LauncherPro. After removing the unused launcher (Gingerbread Launcher free) and rebooting the home key is behaving just as it should.
im willing to bet its not the same for everyone
if you have a screen protector on (such as realook), i guarantee that is your issue
In my case, it was the overclock settings with Setcpu. remove overclock to see if ok on yours.

Hi,
in the last days with my S3 on every call I had which went for more than 1 minute the other person suddenly couldn't hear me anymore. Sometimes it happened after a minute, sometimes after 3 minutes, but in the last 4 calls it happened every time!
Reception came back after some seconds and from then on it was really bad, the other person had hard problems understanding me.
I searched around and found this thread of GNex owners having the same problem:
http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus/472451-vzw-other-person-cant-hear-me.html
Then I found it in the Issues DB too
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24019
Do you guys know more? it is really bad, since this is my business phone so nearly every call is an important one and it really bugs me out.
Anyone having same problems?
I hope someone can help me out.
Yes I have the exact problem. It's driving me nuts and I've tried different roms and kernels.

Have you tried to DISable the noise canceling feature?
No but I will try it and report back.
By the way I'm on stock LF6 4.0.4 in Germany (with o2 as my carrier. Unbranded. )
Is the noise canceletion buggy?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I've read that some kernels cause issues like this.
Also, in UK, in Birmingham on Orange, I have been having issues like this, and it usually occurs when the Signal Switches over from Orange to T-Mobile, mid call, and once onto T-Mobile signal, the call breaks up or goes quiet.
Maybe an issue switching from 2G to 3G or back mid call also?

Will try also. The only reason I haven't got rid of this phone is it mostly happens on o2 calls, I am on giffgaff which is run by o2, The op is o2! Hmmm
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
just yesterday I again had the issue....and my noice cancelling was off...so this is not causing it....
I'm bumping this in hope someone has a cure.
The new rom LFB is not yet published for Germany but for UK. Perhaps it makes a difference? Can somebody in UK with LFB who previously had the issue please check?
Same problem, no solution
I'm facing the same issue. Tried searching for any possible explanations, but haven't found anything conclusive.
I've tried disabling and enabling noise cancellation and all combinations of the in-call options.
There are 2 or 3 main theories which I've encountered:
1. The microphone goes to sleep when the phone display does. As soon as someone seems to not able to hear me, I move the phone away and the screen wakes up. This seems to sort it out temporarily.
2. Someone had posted on FixYa indicating that they tried putting a small piece of cotton after removing the back panel just behind where the mic is. Haven't tried this!
3. Everyone else seems to think that a factory reset would set it right. I haven't tried this as I need to find a bit of time to do this.
Also, I'm wondering if flashing to CM9's RC1 or 2 will sort out the issue. I'm thinking that it has to be a software glitch. In fact, someone reported that they solved it this way (can't remember where).

Which ROM are you using right now?
Ihad the same issue on CM9 and got rid of it by flashing another radio. I originally had the xxlef, tried the xxlfb and ended up with the xxlf5 which works fine so far.
Try this for a fix
goto settings
sound
Toggle on then off or off then on the screen lock sounds then try again :good:

Hey,
just so you know. I am on CM9 and I have kind of the same issue. Sometimes audio is unidirectional, both ways actually, unable to recreate it so far. What always seems to work is my bluetooth headset. Switiching between the two of them makes me lose audio entirely. I have tried many things, even rebooting the phone Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't. I'm guessing it has something to do with BT.
I am NOT facing the issue with losing audio in the middle of the call when the display goes to sleep. The display goes to sleep because of the ligth sensor, btw. - not because the system is idling The display is not needed once the phone realizes it's attached to your ear (lights off).
It's driving me nuts
BUT: CM9 is amazing so far. It's fast, it's open, everything works just fine. Except for the phone as a phone of course
change modem

Does CM9 come with an integrated modem switcher? I don't like messing around with "packages" too much. The more you mod everything, the less stuff has got to do with each other and it is more likely to run into trouble, because as a developer you can't really consider every side effect
So if this is actually about the modem (which I doubt, because the connection is just fine, it's just the audio output and input that is kind of broken) - what modem would I use with CM9? Can I just flash a random one over the current one?
Appreciate the advice.

I notice that as soon as I take the phone away from my ear and the screen lights up I can again be heard... Wonder if there's a problem with the light off sensor affecting the mics too... It ALWAYS goes away when I remove the phone from my ear and the light sensor allows the backlight to come on again...
Might be a crazy thought but the evidence does seem to support this. I haven't turned off the light sensor in settings yet, if I even can, but was going to try next call...
I updated to BLG8 and I will see tomorrow if it happens again. Today I already had one call which lasted 11 minutes without interruptions. I will report as soon as I got more calls to test.
I had the same prob...
I just reflashed the official firmware frm the service centre.

Hello,I have the same lag?
Anyone else have noticed this?
Yes, I've got the same problem. It took so long the other day that I missed the call completely.

anyone have an solution?
First thing I would do is a hard reset - A pain I know, but doing so you can check whether it is potentially a Hardware issue with multitouch/touch etc.
Once you've done that, if it's still exhibiting the same behaviour check your screen behaviour on touch reactions on normal day-to-day use. There may actually be an app for it. (the Note 3 suffered some touch problems, not saying the S5 has them but have to check to be sure) .
If it is deemed a software glitch and a reset fixes it then you should be OK. - However if it's a touch screen bug I'd suggest returning/swapping it.
I'm more inclined to believe it's a software glitch, and a factory reset will indeed solve the problem.
Oke,thanks
Same issue! Did a factory reset but didn't help. Send it to local service center, they keep telling me there is no issue with the phone and that when it happens I should record a video as evidence of the problem. So much so Samsung warranty! Plus I have encountered ransom reboots when answering the phone.
Totally unhappy with S5. It is terrible. S4 and S3 were very stable.

i did noticed that too..
on mine if you put directly your finger in the circle and drag it works 1st try..
i still didnt have time to hard reset to be sure..
I noticed this too. I find that you have to hold your finger on the green answer and slide slowly. It's definitely a software problem that will hopefully be fixed in an update.
Factory reset makes no difference as done this for another problem I was having.

Don't suppose anyone has found a solution to this yet? Or any alternatives to the stock dialer that might perform better?
I also get a lag between selecting a text field and the keyboard popping up which is very frustrating. Had expected more from a brand new phone
I had this problem at first as well, but after the latest update it fortunately disappeared, I did a full wipe as well.
Same problem here! Partially solved with enabling home button to accept calls....
Same here....its a pain in the ass ?

I disabled the lockscreen animation and that helped making the device more snappy. Here are some more usefull tips http://phandroid.com/2014/04/25/samsung-galaxy-s5-first-14-things-to-do/.
I also have this lag when I'm trying to respond. It only woks on the 2nd attempt.
There's definitely a knack to answering a call, which can be quite annoying. Cannot understand why they didn't just leave it alone. Would rather answer my calls with a quick swipe to the right.

Has anyone tried to use Android Pay on the F800K? I have tried it at a couple of stores and it keeps saying to tap again. When I tap I just set the phone on the reader and I can feel the phone vibrate so I assume it was at least trying to make the connection necessary for the transaction, but it's not completing.
I wanted to revive this one to see if anyone is using F800K with Android Pay. I am STILL having issues with it not working most of the time. I suspect that there is an issue with NFC on this phone. Android Pay seems to work when it wants to...
Forgive me if this is common knowledge (or completely bonkers) but I think I read somewhere that the small line/bar right above the middle of the camera bump is where the nfc is located in this phone.
I know nothing about Android pay because I've never set it up but (if I'm not remembering something that never happened) the way the person mentioned it seemed to me like that might be an uncommon place for it to be.
So on some random off chance that it may be helpful I figure it wouldn't help to mention it in case trying a different position on the card readers might help?
Hopefully this isn't the stupidest comment you've read all day... But if it is you can always have a laugh at my expense. lol
Who knows... Maybe I'm actually being helpful. If not... Sorry! Hope you get it figured out!

I have the ATT H910 and also can't get Pay to work. Same details as you and I'm tapping the camera to the NFC receivers. Phone vibrates, but doesn't do anything.

I wonder if this is a V20 bug or something wrong with Android Pay. I have tried to read my MRT card with the app that they supply for topping up and it works just fine so I question where the issue is as it seems that NFC is working fine.
My bro also can't use Android Pay on his H990DS. Contacted Google, keep asking the same questions that he had already answered. Obviously they don't have a solution to this at the moment.
