For no apperant reason volume and send(call) buttons stop working. When I press the buttons can only hear the clicks but nothing is hapening. Powering phone off and turning it back on, sorts the problem out for a wile but then it comes back again. Can any one help sort this problem out please?
installed any button binding programs? flashed a custom rom? tried hard reset?
My soft keys are acting weird. sometimes when i press the home button right after a boot, it captures screen, meaning the 'menu' soft key is depressed. However, after that the softkeys don't respond anymore.
Also, sometimes while powering on, the Galaxy boots up in 'safe mode', meaning again that the 'menu' button is depressed (the way to enter safe mode is by pressing the menu button with the power button).
I have checked the key map in the clockwork recovery which show the 'menu' & 'back' key responding only once before going dead.
During general operation, the softkeys don't work at all and i'm left with only the home button.
Since the keys respond once, i'm sure they're not broken. Seems like a software error. I have tried different kernels & 3 diff roms, but the situation is the same.
Any help to ascertain / solve the problem will be appreciated
Similar issue
I had a similar issue on a brand new phone, the soft keys would detect my finger from about 1cm away, so holding the phone and moving you grip would cause them to activate, eventually they would lock up until you locked the screen and tried again. It was totally a hardware issue, I replaced the phone used the same ROM and no issues.
the reason i'm convinced its not a hardware fault is that the keys 'blink' when i touch them which means they are registering touch. its got to be something else.
the Galaxy has got to be the most mysterious device ever!
Sounds like you ought to send it in for a replacement.
You can try a touchkey firmware update.
Make sure you're on your device's stock ROM otherwise you'll lose your touchkeys.
ENTER *#*#2663#*#* in the dialer. Then update the touchkey firmware and reboot.
You should be able to return to your other ROM after this.

Whenever I press the red end key, it brings up the start menu then turns off the screen. I'm running the stock TMOUS 3.14 ROM. It just started happening a few days ago. I haven't installed any new programs recently. I think it's hardware because I just did a hard reset and it's still happening. Anyone else have this problem?
Here the same since a few days. pressing the end key brings up start menu and then turn the screen off. in my opinion this is a hardware failure.
has anyone other ideas?
thanks in advance, interceptor77
the story continues...
the problem was growing. now if i pressed the end key my touch screen was not responding. only if i pressed it again and again.... the touch function came sometimes back. i will get a new hd2.

Hi guys,
As the title explains itself, my powerkey is sort of broken. It randomly "long presses", this means that I randomly get the phone options menu (Android). This is pretty annoying as the phone wakes up.
I managed to get the 'long home press function' acting as the sleep / screenlock command.
I have no warranty and 100% sure it's a hardware problem.
I tried buttonremapper to disable the power button, but did not succeed.
Can anyone help to permanently disable this button, or did someone else was able to fix this button?
Please help

Hi. I am having a problem on my S4. For some reason, it automatically presses the buttons below the screen(home, back, search, menu) randomly! Does someone knows how to fix this?
