Soft keys not fully working? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I'm on AMDB stock ROM and 95% of the time the soft keys work but there are times when it doesn't matter how many times I'm pressing them, they just won't work. Has anyone experienced this?

Have you tried a hard reset/master clear, by turning the phone on holding down the power button, volume up button and camera button?
Yes, tried master clear and a hard reset. When phone is on and just in standby mode when not being used, none of the buttons would wake it up to go to the slide to unlock screen. I have since put the official toshiba rom back onto it and have not had any problems for the last half an hour since doing so

I tried ffboy2009's 0.9 rom without many issues, and then tried Novembre5's release 1, both are good roms, i can't say i have had so much success with Novembre5's second, still it is early days, i am still using the release 1, so that comes recommended by me

[Q] Home and search softkeys stop working

I have a stock phone, updated with the OTA update. I have this problem where the Home and Search softkeys will stop working all of a sudden. When you press them, they seem to flash so I dont believe this is hardware. Also when I restart the phone, the problem goes away, at least for a little while. When this is happening, to get to the homescreen I basically have to use the back soft key to go all the way back. I thought that maybe this was due to some updates I did so I uninstalled NoLed and TaskSwitcher and I was fine for a few days but it just happened again. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks, this is my first Android.
If I were, I'd exchange the phone. Sounds like the sensor for those buttons is defective.

It's not the sensor as a reboot will immediately fix this issue. Some say that doing a reset will fix it. Thinking about trying that.

Lockups since installing stock ICS upgrade

Ever since installing the ICS upgrade, my tab freezes randomly, about once a day, usually when starting an app or interacting with an app. This appears to be random and has happened with a variety of apps. When it happens, my only option is to soft reset by holding down the power button until the tablet shuts off.
Has anyone else experienced this? Any thoughts on what I should do to try to fix it? This almost never happened prior to installing the upgrade.

No problems here at all.
I did a reset on mine first, then did the update via OTA. I feel doing a reset first gives a nice clean install of the update.
I really don't mind reinstalling my apps and setting up my home screen, etc.
My tab is running like a rocket with no issues.
I used it from about 10am this morning till after 5 this afternoon without a single hiccup.
Maybe try a factory reset?

[Q] Does anyone have a power button bug?

I am current using PA mar11 build with franco r102 kernel.
I have issues bringing the menu up when you hold the power button. My power button is not broken, because after a restart (using power toggles) it works again.
Happens randomly. I have searched the forums and have not seen anyone mention this, has anyone else experience this?
Update: Do a fresh wipe, problem will go away
What issues do you have exactly? I mean, what exactly do you see when you long-press your power button?

after a long-press no menu comes out and my screen turns off like I pressed it normally.
I have the exact same problem, except that my nexus 4 isn't rooted and I can't use toggle buttons to restart. So basically I cannot restart my phone unless i let the battery running out or i reset the phone.
Weird... I just got this too... restart and it's working again... but for how long.... and I never would have noticed if I wasn't trying to take a screenshot!

I have exactly the same problem running slimrom 6.5 and anarkia kernel.
After a reboot the reboot menu always comes up. After a while it doesn't work anymore. Turning on/off the screen always works, the problem only affects long press.
Has anyone a sultuion for that?

Did anyone find a solution to this problem?
My Nexus 4 is now having this same issue
I thought I was the only one! It happened after a bit of rain with my phone in the pocket and I thought that was the cause but after holding it down and seeing it reset I see that it is not. Wonder why this is happening.
Note: I am running completely stock 4.3 at the moment with a locked bootloader, but this has also happened on 4.2.
I got this issue with franco kernel. putting back the original kernel fixed the issue for me. I was able to reproduce the problem with another nexus 4 phone. there's maybe a config to tweak or i'm messing something up.

Exactly same problem.. But a long press of the button for about ten to fifteen shuts down the phone in my case.. Stock 4.3 no root
I no longer have this issue. The fix: fresh wipe

anyone have issues with screen doesn't turn on but buttons work? then it auto resets

So far I have notice this 2 times today and each time my phone was connected to computer via usb.
I press the power / home key to turn on display but nothing. The other buttons still vibrates the phone. Then 5 seconds later the phone reboots.
I've had this issue before when I was flashing a lot of newly ported t mobile roms. when there was a lot if trickery and kernel flashing to get them to work. What I did was wipe a couple times and install a rooted stock rom and wiped again and it worked again just fine
