Hey,
I got a i9500 and i have a problem with the home button.
Sometimes when i push the home button it opens the multitasking windows although i didnt do a long push. It happes sometime and it really annoys me.
If someone knows how to solve it please tell me.
Thanks,
Eden
By the way, dont tell i dont know to push a short push beause this is NOT the problem. I gave it to some friends and it happened to them too.
Your button is sticking. When you press it it does not come up fast enough.
Did you get any juice or sweat in the button ?

If it is trutly a physical defect with the home button your best but most annoying option is to take back the phone and have it changed with a new one.
Another thing to do is to do a factory reset (just in case there is a software bug causing the button to act this way)

This are my last options. I dont want to replace my phone neither to wipe it.
If you someone encounter this problem please help me.
Thanks
I have the same problem with my phone. Runing stock ROM.
The home button will trigger the task manager upon waking up the phone. This is driving me absolutly crazy. I hate lock screens and passwords just to get to the home screen.
Once the home screen is up this behavior stops.
I just tested the time it takes to hold the home button and launch the task manager alongside with my old Galaxy S2 and the latter needs a longer hold on the button.
The home button is not sticky, it has a normal feel and click.
Please help
Actually my problem i not at the waking up of the phone but in the home screen or in any app.
HELP
Just made an account because I'm having the exact same issue and was wondering if you were able to fix it at all because this happened to my phone very suddenly so I'm wondering if it's a software issue.. Please reply.
One thing I noticed is that this never happens when I'm on the home screen, only when have an app open. Also, it doesn't feel like the button is sticking by any means. My phone is a week old..

I'm having this same issue. When I'm at the home screen it doesn't "stick", but only when I'm in an application. What's up with this behavior? It's a recent development. Could this be a software issue? I have a Verizon S4 and it hasn't had a software update at all yet.
Any solutions, or maybe there's an app we all have that is causing this?
UPDATE
I've made this happen on the home screen, usually by pressing near the middle of the home button, however this only starts happening after the phone has been on for a while. I'm so confused as to whether this is a hardware or software issue, or maybe a combination of both.

The home button problem was gone for a while, but a week ago, it came back and I decided to call T-Mobile. They immediately said it was a software issue and recommended me to do a factory reset. So I did and it seems to be working perfect now, haven't had the home button sticking or giving any problems for about a week now.you should definitely give that a try.hope it helps.
hey guys.
I switched some ROMs after that and it solved the problem. I can only assume it is a software bug.
try upgrading to the newest version(I use 4.3)
Hope you will all solve it as i did.
Hi guys,
Anyone encountered your Note 3 hanged and you unable to swipe or press the back button.
The only way to swipe again is to press off and on and you be able to do that.
My phone is brand new and even after I factory reset it still hanged.
Same Hangups with me
The same happens to me with an unchanged Note 3 9005, Vodafone Germany branded; Suddenly the especially the screen freezes.
some buttons still work. Sometimes it works again, sometimes only a reboote works.

And i thought it was a launcher that causing this. Seems like I'm not the only one.
Note 3 hanged
I use the Nova Launcher ...
Anyone facing the same issue?
anyone? no one having this issue?
My T-Mobile Note 3 did it once, so far.
NOT rooted, stock launcher and browser.

Yes, same problem here with a completely stock and non-rooted international (Germany) Note 3. I have had the device now for a little over a week, and the problem occurs quite frequently several times a day. Very annoying, so any fix would be VERY appreciated!
German Unbranded LTE... Apex Launcher, no such issue so far.
Try cleaning your system cache in Recovery.
I get the same problem.
No response to back, menu, home or power button.
If I wait about 10-20 seconds, it will start responding again.
It happens several times a day.
Very annoying. Never had this problem with the Note 2.

I tried this yesterday, but I'm afraid it didn't fix the problem. A couple of hours after cleaning the cache partition I got the next hang.
I gave up on this and decided to ask for a replacement phone. Bummer.

My non-rooted N9005 crashed several times as described below. However I can't replicate them on purpose. It just happened randomly.
On boot-up, when the lockscreen is shown, the device keeps restarting on its on, non-stop. To resolve, I'll need to quickly unlock the phone when the lockscreen is shown. Sometimes it would just keep restarting before the locksreen is shown. When this happens, I'll need to remove the SIM card and the phone would start normally. Then turn it off, reinsert the SIM card, boot-up and quickly unlock the lockscreen. This occurs randomly, but when it occurs, the would keep restarting. Else, phone would boot-up with no issue.
Recorded a video and stopped the recording. Camera hang. From then onwards, can't use camera until reboot.
Enabled the "one-handed operation - use for all screens". Switched to one-handed mode. Not sure what happened, but camera was started when I exit camera, screen is reverted to fullscreen. It should remain in "one-handed" mode. Touch responded to area where the "one-handed operation" window should be. No response to area outside this area. To resolve, re-enter "one-handed" mode and exit.
Phone just hang when games are started which the audio loop playing repeatingly.
My Note3 got hang when I was using facebook...
I m curious it related with RAM... when I check the RAM (after it responds again) it was 2,4 GB of 2,66 (max available)..
After I clear the Memory, then problem stops...
Same issue here..
i'll be scrolling facebook or browsing and i cannot click on links or scroll
weird thing is i can press the back button to close the app or the home button..
there are some other major glitches as well such as Gallery opening VERY SLOWLY.. quick pic is my work around..
waking up the phone with the power button takes longer then expected as well..
coming from a Z10 with less specs and listening to people bash it.. the 3GB quadcore Snapdragon 800 chip with 4.3 jelly bean is deeming to be disappointing..
don't get me wrong i love the device.. just didn't expect so many glithces and slow downs and hangups
Same issue on exynos.

I tried something new today, I've been clearing the Ram memory every 15-30 minutes of constant usage and every time I start using the phone and it seems that I haven't had that problem yet. Makes me think it is related to a process.

Hi Guys, newbie here so I apologise if I've posted in the wrong section, I'm sure someone will move the post if need be?
Has anyone else had issues with the touch screen on their S7 Edge because mine really is pants! An example would be when texting, it's not registering every key I press so I end up typing incomplete words. There's seems to be black spots when scrolling also mainly in line with where you'd swipe the edge function across.
Now some of the things I have tried in attempt to find a resolve are as follows:-
1.) Force restart and restart in safe mode to see if this strange activity was caused by an app.
2.) Force restart and clear cache partition during reboot.
3.) Disable edge functionality to be sure I haven't been catching the screen.
4.) Factory reset.
Now I have called EE and they are happy to send me a new device after they reached to conclusion that the device is faulty. Unfortunately they are out of stock so now I'm playing the waiting game with my faulty device whilst I wait for some new stock to arrive.
Has anyone else had this problem and did you find out what causes this to happen?

Guys I'm on the latest Nougat update on AT&T with the March update and the most annoying thing started happening out of nowhere... Wondering if y'all have ever seen this and have been able to stop?
Basically, during a call, my screen turns off after my screen timeout time, and within 5 seconds, the screen turns back on and keeps repeating ?...!
Here's what I've tried:
1. Calibrated and tested the proximity sensor.
2. Double checked with or without Smart Awake setting.
3. Cleared data of the in call UI app.
4. Rebooted.
5. Wiped OS Cache.
6. You tell me? ?
Thanks for all the help!
It's a Bug with the In-Call UI
My T-Mobile Galaxy S7 Edge has been experiencing the same issue. I tried everything including a factory reset to no avail. I believe it may have something to do with the In-Call UI system app associated with the Phone App. It only started happening after the 7.0 update and really makes using the phone to make a phone call unnecessarily frustrating. I am guessing more people have this but don't realize it because the screen will turn off if you navigate away from the In-Call UI to another app or to the home screen. It is a bug though and I hope Samsung deals with it in the next update.

Thank you so much for responding. Makes me feel better that I'm not crazy! ?
Can others test and confirm for us so we can maybe document and report to Samsung for a fix?
BTW for what it's worth, as a workaround, you can hit the home button to put the in call UI out of focus and then let the phone sleep, it stops the waking up. Down side of course, no proximity action and the nuisance of turning on, then bringing up UI to mute and unmute, very annoying on meetings for work! :crying:
Any others please test and report for us? Thanks you!

Reread, you already mentioned the workaround, sorry and thanks!
Now I am not sure if this will work for you but I've noticed that if I occasionally use the slide up gesture to launch Samsung pay (i.e. from the lock screen or home screen) and I back out of it, it keeps the problem at bay temporarily. I tried deactivating the slide up to activate feature of Samsung Pay and it didn't fix the issue. For now, this is my temporary work around. I hope it works for you too!

Extremely good observation and another workaround bud! You're right, it provides some relief with the Samsung Pay workaround. I can't believe we haven't heard more noise on this from others, we can't be the only two OCDs here !?
Thank you again and request to others to join us test and slay this problem, if possible!

@Trevozneoma - To build on your observation with Samsung Pay, I went into settings and have unchecked the option for using it via screen off. The lock screen and home screen are still checked, and this seems to have fixed my issue. It's not perfect, as I like to use the feature when using Samsung Pay, however, I will take this, over the battery drain and annoying nature of the screen on on the incall UI screen!
Thanks for your help!
@ProFragger we probably notice it because we use our phones...as phones haha. I will give the Samsung Pay work around a try. Thanks for the recommendation!

Haha true that, brother. Please respond back with your changes and results so we can confirm a workaround solution for this . Thanks for partnering and responding with me, I am sure this thread will help others .
Hi Guys!
I too have this issue and I have a Samsung S7 Edge on Sprint.
As it was stated, this all started after the last update.
As I primarily use a BT headset with my calls, I have simply been hitting the Home Button and the phone will stay in the time out mode.
Just jumping on this band wagon in hopes that this issue will be resolved quickly!!
Thanks!!

Thanks for your report, bud... We need more of these to gain some momentum around this issue... Does the workaround for you?
The work around works, but it is just a PITA to have to keep hitting the home screen to put the call screen out of focus.
I really hope that Samsung will address this issue and fix it!!
Happens here also. Thanks for the workaround.

I hate this so much. It happens while I am on the phone and it happens when an appointment reminder pops up and then the screen goes black and then turns on, over and over. THIS ONLY STARTED HAPPENING AFTER I UPDATED FROM Marshmallow to Nougat.
Here is the FIX... Guessing anyone that has the issue has Samsung Pay with a card provisioned. Was reading through some other forums and found that this was the root cause. Everyone was deleting their cards to get the screen to work as expected. However, if you go into Samsung Pay --> Settings --> Use Favorite Cards, you can just disable the Screen Off option and all will be well once more. You will still be able to use your cards but will just have to turn on the phone first.
edit: Well [email protected] Worked great last night during testing and now back to turning the screen on again this morning. Going to try disabling all the options under Use Favorite Cards. If that doesn't work, will delete all my cards and try again.
Ant word on whether that worked?
Same issue for me as well (Verizon Galaxy S7 edge, 7.01). When I am on calls (usually have a headset plugged into the phone) the screen cycles on and off repeatedly. Seems to have started when I went to 7.0. So glad others are reporting the same thing as it is very annoying and hopefully something Samsung will fix in the next update. I will try the Samsung Pay fix and report back.
Same issue here, Galaxy S7 Edge on ATT. Noticed after Nougat update. It seems to be problematic across any dialer as I did try and had the same results using the hangout dialer. It does seem to be related to the Samsung Pay application. You can force stop Samsung Pay in applications and everything seems to work correctly. I have tried removing permissions from Samsung Pay and have had no luck. Will try and report to Samsung and Google directly also. Thank ya'll for sharing your info. hopefully they will have a fix soon.
I'm having the same issue on my S8. I thought i was somehow pressing my face against the screen and accidentally activating the "home button." Then I starting blaming one of my friends because it seemed like it only happened when I talked to people with iphones lol. I don't have or use Samsung Pay, so that can't be what's causing this problem. All I know is it's absolutely frustrating and making talking on the phone a complete headache. Hopefully they'll fix this soon.
Thank you all, I have the s8 and it has done this since I got it.
I don't have Samsung Pay installed at all, I use my Bank's pay app so disabled it. It can't be that but have no idea what it is. Driving me nuts, I keen putting people on hold, hanging up on them or at the least have the annoying vibration going off from pushing buttons. Hate hate hate it...
