My Recent App buttom randomly presses it's self with my hand no where near the buttom. It happens only when on landscape. But what on portrait it presses what ever is put where the "recent app" buttom was. So I thinking it is more of a hardware issue.
Has anybody had this problem? The orginal screen was replaced by Samsung about two months ago. Can this be the reason?

so ive had this problem before and i miraculously fixed it some how,
so ive done a little googling and seen that im not the only one with this problem, while the phones in portrait, returning from standby the down button seems to be pressed as it scrolls through the today screen insanely, but as soon as i press the up button it stops the scrolling. although the down button it self on the front doesnt work.
now in landscape mode with the keyboard, what would be the down button in portrait is scrolling to the left continuously until i press what would be the up button in portrait but is the right key on the directional pad.
i guess this is a important key factor here...the up, down, left, right arrows are working just fine on the keyboard
its not so annoying that i have to press the up button once to stop the scrolling, i mean i can live without the down button for now til i get a different phone, but as soon as i hit the power button to put the phone into stand by this "scrolling" restarts, so as soon as i hit the power button phone starts scrolling, and it takes, many many attempts for the phone to go into stand by due to this annoying glitch, im not sure if its a registry problem as to i cant find the down button in the registry
i cant seem to fix it like i have previously, i fixed it twice previously, some how.....
if anyone has solved the problem to the wing scrolling down problem, help me out here...
I left the camera on for a couple of minutes, took some pictures, and suddenly the screen didn't response to any touch, neither the capacitive buttons. There was a "lock icon" shown on the right top corner of the camera screen. I don't know whether I accidentally pressed something, but I couldn't get it back. Fortunately, the power button still worked, so I could turn the phone off and back on. Everything is fine now. It also happened once on my friends' Epic 4G.
If you hit the power button while the camera is active, it will lock it to prevent accidental screen presses.
Simply press the power button to unlock.

Got it. Thanks a lot.
In trying to set up controls for a game, I found a very unhappy button combination. If the camera button is fully depressed while holding the left key on the hardware keyboard, the screen will lock and usually freeze the phone. Another user who tried to replicate this for me got an unresponsive camera app that required a reboot.
What are other users' mileage here? Anybody have any ideas on a workaround, or is this probably just a hardware quirk?
i tried every diff combination of left and the camera button, and did not have the same experience. i do know that if your in the camera app, and press power, it does lock the phone, but i think it is supposed to. pressing the power button a second time unfreezes it. imma do more research. i read something about this once on ppcg.
i found this.may or may not be the same thing for your friends.
"hey folks For those of you experiencing a lock-up while in camera mode, I thought it happened to me the other day as well, turns out its not a bug its user error. If you try to turn off the screen while in camera/video mode by hitting the screen lock button you are locking the camera mode, which mean you are making it so that the phone does not accept any inputs aside from unlocking by hitting the power/ screen unlock button again. This "lock mode" is indicated by lock icon appearing in the top corner of the screen. The reason for this screen unlock button again. This "lock mode" is indicated by lock icon appearing in the top corner of the screen. The reason for this mode is actually good, if you are filming something important you don't a finger slip hitting the back/home buttons and ruining your video, so you can lock it and not worry about it. Of course this means if you don't know about the feature and you activate it, instant freak out.

That may have something to do with it, but is not the problem I am having. When I am somewhere outside of the camera app (homescreen or game, for example) if I hold the left arrow key and fully depress the camera button, the screen will turn off and make the lock sound. Usually I can unlock it with the power button or this combinaton again, but it will occasionally freeze and refuse to accept input from the touchscreen or capacitive buttons.
(If it's at all helpful, I was trying to set up the camera button as the R shoulder button in SNESdroid.)
It could be that the phone is getting confused and thinks I'm trying to lock the camera app, but since I'm not in the app it locks the entire phone.
I just did it while reading your post lol I can confirm it freaks out lol

I have a Sprint Galaxy S3 and I have a very annoying issue with my capacitive back button. Often I have to press it at least 3 or 4 times to go back.This happens no matter what app I'm in. The menu button works instantly every time though. Any ideas? Thanks.
Do you have a case that is inhibiting your touching action? No issues here.
Anyone having the problem with the multi task button (the one on the left of the home button) be too sensitive? Whenever I watch videos with my phone horizontal, and i touch the bottom of the phone below that multi task button (right next to the bottom microphone), it would engage it. Constantly. It's so annoying because Its hard to hold the phone any other way when holding it sideways with one hand.
Have you turned increased sensitivity off? I had the same problem until I turned it off.
