Home and Power buttons not working - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently flashed a Phoenix ROM and it could be coincidence but my hardware Home button is now not responding to presses most of the time. It will always wake the screen from sleep when I press it, but it will not return me to the Home screen when I'm in an app. The power button also doesn't respond to long presses, so I have no easy way of rebooting.
Is this likely to be a Phoenix-specific problem, or can anyone think of any other reason for it?

[Help]Turning the display on/Lock hardware button

Guys wanna ask something..
Pressing the power button turns of the display, will pressing the other buttons (Call, home, Back, windows) bring the screen beack on?
I just realized mine is like this.
Can i lock the other buttons so that only the power button brings the screen back on.
Any registry tweaks for this.
Thx.
+1 from me.
I swear I thought only pressing the power button brought the lock screen up. Now ANY button brings the device out of standby.
lol i just realized that just now

[Q] Problems with power button

I looked for similar topic but couldn't find it,I can't use power button on my hd anymore,it got broken beacuse of pressing it very often during day to turn the screen on and off...I was wondering if there is an application to assign power button function to home key so when pressing it the screen turns off and on?
Hi, having the same problem, POWER BUTTON is defect/broken, it doesn't have a resistance when I push it in. I can still switch the device on and off, but I have to press the power button hard and the power button does not feel spring loaded any more.
Are there more people having this issue and is there anybody haveing it send for warranty repair already?
Mine is a German O2 device.
Thanks

[Q] Have to double press power button to sleep screen

Does anyone else have this issue?
If I press the power button once it only pops the flight mode>shutdown>silent menu. But if I double press it, it shuts off the screen.
The power button has worked normal before but its like it has a mind of its own.
It works fine in winmo though.
Another thing is when the power button is working properly in android, i can get into the bootloader via hardware keys.
When it isn't working normally in android, I can't start the bootloader nor hardreset.

Power button glitch on stock DI18

I'm running a completely stock phone and unrooted. For some reason my power button stopped working properly yesterday. When I press it the screen won't turn off anymore. The only way to turn it off is to set the screen time out to a shorter interval. The only thing I can think of that I did before it stopped working was trying to take a screenshot by pressing the hardware back button and home key several times like it said in that thread. I also tried doing it with the backspace button and home button. I wonder if I hit some weird keyboard combo that disabled the power button screen shutoff. It will still give me th "power off/silent/airplane" options if I do a long press.

Okay, I fixed it. I don't know what originally caused the problem, but I manually updated all the system options: firmware, profile, PRL, and Android, even though there were no actual updates to download. Pressed the power button and it's back to normal.
Whew...I can change my timeout back to 30 minutes.

power button wake up problem

is anyone having issues with waking up this phone? Randomly to get the screen back on I will have to press the power button about four times for the screen to come back on. its really starting to bug

press harder. I learned quickly that it takes a firm push and you have to hit the button w/o your fingers getting caught up on the sides of the phone.
it's either that or you got a bad button
I have the same issue, this along with the lag I get at times when I attempt to use the camera has me seriously considering returning this phone. The Inspired I returned had non of these issues just a tinny speaker.

Mine wouldnt go to sleep today when pushing the button. Seems to be a few bugs with this phone eh?
I'm starting to look at re-mapping the keyword to allow the volume keys to wake it up, and then use the fingerprint reader to unlock it. That power button seems to fragile to me. To turn the screen off I just use Extended Controls.
Any thoughts?
Widget locker has an option to use the vol buttons for wake
I kinda have the same problem but its when i press the lock button the screen shuts off but then comes right back on. I press it again, it shuts off, then comes right back on.
I had the same problem - power button wouldn't wake phone from sleep.
I had to do a battery pull to resolve the issue.
I'm using the lastest FW.
Motorola phones (Not just Atrix, but Droid X also) have some funky business that sometimes prevents/delays the screen from turning on, even if the button press is registered. This happens with the power button and also the volume buttons if they're used to wake the device (Like with WidgetLocker). I haven't been able to narrow it down, but I suspect it's related to (ab)use of PowerManager's preventScreenOn()

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It sounds logic to me, because even editing the right keyboard file to add a wake_dropped to the volume down, it won't turn on the screen. I hate when they change things the way they do with this, the bootloader, etc.
