Lately my menu button has not been registering when i touch it. i have to touch it several times to get it to register. Also some times it brings up the search option.
Either this just started today or i just started to notice it. Its annoying.
Is anyone else having this problem?
Yes the Home button has quit working unless it is pressed a dozen times or so. Any fix???
My home is getting harder to use... Yes there is a fix and it sucks, exchange it.
No problems here. Picked up the phone on launch day and my buttons are working the same as they were out of the box.
My phone did the same, the home button stopped working had to click it multiple times for it to register.just exchange the phone. My new one had been great, every button registers on the first click

All I noticed is if the bottom buttons are off I have to touch them once to turn them on, then after they are on they register the first time.

The only time my buttons don't register is when the phone is doing something else at the same time (and that's very rare). It feels kind of like when my computer is doing a backup and it slows everything else down.
Can anyone confirm that these button issues happen when nothing else is running in the background?

Yes I can. I can take my phone in an awake but not busy and apply the same pressure to each key... All buttons except the home key vibrate and cause an action to occur. The home key I have to push much harder.
I noticed the home button lagging or you have to press it harder when running the Samsung widget Buddies now. If you have that widget running, delete it and the home works like a champ again.
I actually find the widget helpful for a favorites contacts so I'll continue to run it and just press home a little harder.
Here we go... video taken with a Vibrant of a vibrant showing the home button issue. When I hold the phone the problem is not as bad as the vid makes out. Vid makes it look like the button never works. It does but it takes some effort.
One thing to note. Home button action on home screen should bring up preview of all home screens.

Well the home buton issue started with me just now. Worked fine until then on my unrooted, non screen protected vibrant. Other soft keys work fine, but all the sudden home is not working half the time.
Just wanted to let other know that its not an out of the box issue but a developing problem.
Update: after ranting about the issue and showing several people my broken phone, I enabled the GPS and the issue disappeared while trying to show another person my issue. I disabled the GPS and the issue is still not present. SO I don't know if its was just coincidence but maybe its just a software bug. Keep in mind that a power cycle of the handset did not affect the home key working.
Thanks for everyone that posted. Looks like the majority is having issues w the home button. My Home button is working totally fine.
Anyway, my menu button started working again for a while, but its back to being buggy.
It seems to me to be a software issue.
What a pain, i already done a ton of customizations. I'm going to see what happens over the weekend. If the problem continues, i guess i'll unroot it and return it.
My home button works perfectly fine... but the search button doesn't work 1/2 the time @[email protected] I hope it's a software problem >.>; don't feel like going to the store to exchange
*edit* Okay I really think it's a software problem now because when the backlight is on for the search button, it would not respond 1/2 of the time. When the backlight is off, the search button works perfectly fine. I hope they fix this ^^;
When I first got the phone I had issues with the menu button. I had to use the whole pad of my thumb instead of the tip of my finger like the other buttons. The second day I had the phone it all worked fine and had continued to work. Definitely seems like software issue to me.

I concur about it being software related. I have the home button problem, and when it isn't working right (comes and goes), it always seems to have different quirks, including the one where it doesn't respond while the light is on and does as soon as it turns off. One thing is for sure...it's ruining my otherwise almost perfect experience with this phone. --and it worries me, because if it's software, getting it replaced isn't going to solve the problem. --and if I wait until the problem is discovered and fixed, I'll be past the return period for the phone, I'm afraid. I think all the people returning the phones are not addressing the real problem, and it may delay the process of finding a real fix. Does anyone know if Samsung is aware of this issue and have addressed it like they have for the gps? If not, how does one clue them in?

I think its a ground issue. Put phone down and search is hard to get to respond, pick it up works everytime....
Also have you a link to samsungs statement on GPS?
Yeah they have a lot of bugs to work out when they update this, lol.

I sure hope it isnt a ground issue. That would be hard to fix with software. I am afraid you are right though as my issue came back.
I'm not so sure about a ground issue. No problem whatsoever for 5 days in any situation, and then it hardly works in any situation? Seems like software. And no, sorry I don't have a link to Samsung re: gps. I just know I've seen a couple times in a few places that they have acknowledged the issue and are working on a fix.

I find that my Minis' on/off button is unresponsive occasionally and I was wondering if anyone else felt theres was also?
Ive only had this issue when the phones locked and I bring it in and out of showing me my status. It appears the bottom icons have to light up before it will react to my press of the on/off button again.
Same for me ! Sometime I need to remove battery to restart using my HD MINI ...
Any solution ?

I have the same problem, sometimes, the button is not responsive. There should be a solution for it. Someone has to report to htc.
I have the same problem, i think that it is caused by either to many running applications or by a application that hangs.
for the most i just have to wait a minute or two and then it works again.
Last time i connected the charger, it also worked and i have also tried to call the phone from another phone. it also worked.

yes... I think it's because of many programs... I have this when I'm doing something and I push the button fast to turn of the screen and suddenly remember I forgot something and push it again to turn on... I think It's normal!!
sometimes it's anything but normal, but i found a soft reset (or hard reset for that matter) often is the solution. So it's most likely an application or process that hangs, leaving it for a few minutes and then trying to unlock it usually does the trick
I'm having a bit of a weird issue with my new Verizon GS5.
Scenario: I am doing something such as reading a text, decide I'm done and lock the screen, and then a second or two later realize I forget to check something and hit the lock button again to turn it back on. Most of the time when I do this the physical buttons will light up but the screen will stay black, and a few seconds later the physical buttons will turn off. This will happen a few times until finally the screen turns on and I see the lock screen.
I had a similar issue with my Galaxy Nexus (rooted and running Kit Kat) phone prior to the GS5 and figured it was my old hardware- is this some Kit Kat bug?
Thanks for any input
Same issue here. But I can't figure out if it was due to switching to ART or not.
We can wait others reply with this i hope someone will post a tip on this kind of problem.
I switched to art after installing apps and I'm ha ing this issue didn't really play with phone much until after switching to ART. Is anyone having this issue not on ART?

Yes this is happening to me running Dalvik.
Happened just now to me. It has happened a few times.

Had this a time or two. It's like the power button doesn't register or something. Yes I switched to art.
I have found though that if I hold power for a second it pretty much fixes itself without having to do anything crazy like yanking the battery or restarting the phone.
Imo: not a big deal, doesn't seem to happen a lot for me.

This is actually becoming quite an annoyance to me and happens very often. I'm still on Dalvik. Could this be caused by an app?
I feel like half the time I go to use my phone the screen doesn't turn on.

I'm having the same issue for the past two days; although, I am not switching between apps or anything (only trying to use the phone). No display, but get sound/vibration from buttons and LED lights from soft keys. Unfortunately, both times required me to yank the battery. My S5 is completely stock (not using ART) and have manually reinstalled my apps from old device. Any suggestions?
I am not experiencing this and I have switched to ART...

I hope this isn't the case. Once again I experienced these EXACT same issues with my Galaxy Nexus running 4.4.2. I can't help but think it might be some app causing it since not everyone has it.
I am noticing this every once in a while. But it's mostly right after I shut the screen off after a large processed app or task, and then remember something I forgot to do and try and turn it back on and there is some lag bringing up the screen again.

I was about to return my S5 to Verizon for this very reason. I haven't switched to art and have been having the screen go black on me, you can tell the phone is on because the physical buttons are lit. It seems to happen to me alot when I take the phone off the charger and hit the on button. I will hear the phone rebooting, but not see the boot animation. Thats when I do a battery pull. Holding the button doesn't do it. I also have had a few random reboots. Thats ok...I'm going to try every root method under the sun..gggrrrr..lol
I've started to try to uninstall apps to see if I can narrow down the issue. It still plagues me at least half the time I try to use my phone.
This is happening to me as well. Not as often. I'd say once a day, but I have to pull my battery to restart it. I did 2 factory resets and am now using a new google account as per verizons request and I added apps slowly. I have been fine until I put a second launcher on. I installed the GEL launcher but did not use it just to see if having multiple launchers could cause this glitch. Could it be this? Is everyone else using a different launcher? Also the only time I ever had it happen while messing with the phone was two times while working in light flow. Any one else connected to those two happenings? Trying to narrow down what could be causing this.
Running ART here, I'm not sure if I'm getting this problem, but I have realized some latency from pressing either the home or power button and the screen turning on. Not sure what causes that lag, but it's a good almost full second whereas my S4 would be instant

I would assume this is NOT the physical hardware issue, but the software, I heard somewhere that Samsung version of KitKat 4.4.2 is quite buggy and glitchy.

I had the issue before and after switching to ART
Anyone have any further ideas yet? I'm not running ART bit I was able to have it happen again when I had Google experience launcher installed. Removed it and it hasn't happened for two days. I'm installing Google launcher again now to see if that was causing the issue.
Anyone else with further developments?
Hi everyone!
So I just had this problem after I woke up yesterday. I googled a lot but only found similiar problems.
Let me tell you what happened chronologically:
After turning the phone on in the morning it started updating apps as if I was doing a firmware update: "updating apps 1 of 135" etc. Note that my nexus was already running on 5.1.1 and had the latest updates installed.
Now it randomly freezes the screen on whatever screen it was before it happens and it won't respond to any touch input. This can also happen when not using the phone, then it will freeze at the lockscreen (the time freezes with it so sometimes i can see at what time it froze). Also, it loses connection with Wi-Fi as i'm using Whatsapp Desktop when i'm on my laptop and it mentions me that my phone is not connected.
The only thing that "fixes" (temporarily) it is a reboot. Now sometimes, on the lockscreen, i can just hold the power button and the pop-up comes in to turn the phone of, which i can somehow just tap on an it responds by turning the phone off. But sometimes (less frequent than the latter mentioned) the pop-up doesn't come in and holding the power button for a few secs will do the trick.
I hope I informed you all enough and my end question is: does any of you know what this is? How i can fix it or what i can do to prevent it or anything as I am hopeless. (my G3 is up for reparation so this is my sisters old phone, i had a nexus 4 myself for 2 years before the G3).
Thanks in advance!!
The best way to test it is by reformat the OS.
I positively think that it will solve the problem.
Since the phone is no longer under warranty, I guess there is no harm to install custom rom on it. They are fast and stable too.
Hope this help. Good luck.

EXACT thing happened to me too. Backup your data and hard reset from recovery. This fixed it for me
Same problem here bro, but neither custom roms or factory reset helps.... Is there anyone who has successfully solved the problem ?

Then it's time to change the screen or phone. Looks like it is a hardware issue.

I agree, your screen needs to be replaced.
Hello XDA,
This is my very first community post so please don't judge if I do something wrong here
Let's cut to the chase. I am a happy owner of the OP6T 8/256gb phone and I am super happy with the device, however, I have been having an awkward issue. From time to time, couple of times a day, my phone would not recognize neither double tap nor the power button to wake the display up. Usually out of frustration I press the power button couple of more time, but nothing happens. Then after 3-4 seconds the display wakes up and even opens the camera (because I pressed the button couple of times, but not in a fast way...). Afterwards, the phone works without an issue until same thing happens hours later.
So my question is if anyone is experiencing anything similar and found the culprit of it?
If you need any additional info on my settings, please let me know!
It is not the worst thing that could be happening with a new phone, but you know, one expects the brand new phone to work 100% of the time
Looking forward to your replies and ideas!
Many thanks,
Donatas
It's happened to me only recently. I'm rooted with magisk 17.3 running a few modules such as dual speaker, Google dialer framework and viper. I was on stock kernel, but switched to Smurf kernel without any hiccups so far.
Well I am full stock, even with stock launcher... That's why it bothers me that it is happening:/ thanks for your reply

Yes this has happened to me, glad to see I'm not alone.
It happeneds randomly, like few times a day, not too frequent to render the device unusable, but enough to be irritating - especially when it's a brand new device.
My setup;
*Rooted
*Magisk (viper & YouTube vanced module)
*Stock kernel
I'm at a loss as to what's the cause of this issue, it's very weird, it could just be an oxygen os bug that will be resolved by OnePlus. Who knows. Hopefully if more people comment about this here - we will eventually get to the bottom of it.
So far on 9.0.6 build the issue appears to have been fixed, I have not had any random temporary lock screen freeze.
Can anyone else confirm this?

Glad to hear it is fixed for you!
Unfortunately, since the update, I already experienced it 4 times...
Even more so, sometimes now the phone would randomly stop playing music from Soundcloud (I dont know about other apps, i predominantly use Soundcloud).
I love the phone but it is a little shame that some of these features are failing
Hope 1+ will fix this and we all be happy!
Yeah, sometimes my device doesn't respond to double-tap. Usually I just have to double-tap again and it wakes up. I haven't noticed the issue with the power button, but I rarely use that to wake the device. I did have a situation recently where the device wouldn't wake from a screen tap no matter how many times I tried. I can't recall if using the power button woke it or if I had to force a reboot. But that's only happened that one time.
I just updated to 9.0.6 a day ago. I don't think I've experienced any non-wake issues since then. Really haven't been paying that close attention, I guess.
I believe I am having this issue. I just flashed 9.0.7 from TMO and I'm rooted with magisk v4a and vanced. I get random freezes where I can't tap anything on my screen. I have to turn it off and on with the power button.
I experience this as well. I thought it was just an isolated thing, and it's kinda annoying...
It's very irritating. I'm trying to pin point it and so far I notice it with Firefox and Spotify transitions.
