Hello pals,
My hardware menu button only responds to SPen and not to my finger......
Home button and Back button are all fine.
Is it a hardware failure? Any of you guys experience similar problem?
I'm on a Temasak 54 but it may not be because of the rom since it behaved the same when I tested it under recovery mode.
The phone is rooted for custom roms and the warranty is voided..... :crying:
Best regards,
Matt

My only advice is to factory reset, if this method is not working, bring to service center

Hey guys,
So today the power button on my nexus s 19020A randomly stopped working. Whether i am in recovery, bootloader, or the os, the power button refuses to work. In addition, the volume buttons work fine in recovery and os but they don't work in bootloader. I have a nexus s 19020a with Brickmaster's MIUI. I have clockworkmod touch recovery as well. Please help me! is this a hardware of software issue?
Although I have not experienced it, from what I have read the ns4g has a wonky power button to begin with. There have been numerous threads here discussing the delicacy of said button. Good news you have touch recovery. Aokp will let you wake your phone with volume buttons. And I believe that the search button will select in recovery not touch based
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium
well i have a nexus s 3g so thats not it. and this phone is less than a year old so im kind of frustrated if the power button is already broken. I know i can use volume buttons to unlock it but i shouldn't have to.
happened same thing to me about 2 weeks ago. I have the I9023 and the power button randomly stopped working, and the volume buttons didnt work in fastboot! I looked over and over and i couldnt find a solution. I finally sent it to Samsung and they rapared it for free.
I dont think you'll be able to fix it without having the power button working.
Good luck tho. And report back if you get it to work

i just responded in that thread, read what i wrote about what i do in the bootloader to get it to work http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=22692987&postcount=3
these are all viable work arounds but that doesnt change the fact that it should not happen. the phone is less than a year old for me! i hope best buy or samsung will replace it or fix the issue for mine.

Dude this is crazy, this just happened to me too!
I can't use volume buttons in fastboot and I can't restore to stock for some reason because my phone isn't recognized in fastboot...I think it has something to do with the volume buttons issue. What can I do to get it to look like stock so I can give it back to the store for repair?
im gonna flash back a stock rom from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664 and then use fastboot to relock my bootloader. where did you buy yours from?
Hi,
I accessed the service menu, but by accident pressed the Update Touch Firmware and now the touch part of the phone is not working. is there a way to revert this or do I have to take it back to the shop? Please help on this if anyone knows.
Thanks!
Nevermind, just rebooted into safe mode, verified everything was working then restarted the phone and all working normal!

I saw that feature and pressed it by accident like you but I didn't experience anything so what the heck?! what does this option do in the first place?! and why you experienced some issues when you pressed it and me didn't? I'm worried that I broke something without me knowing

Anyone know of a custom rom for the Nexus7 (grouper) that removes the built-in android feature to enable safe mode via volume down key?
Reason: I have a nexus 7 with a broken volume down key.
Therefore it always boots into fastboot, and then then on start, boots into safe mode.
Steps taken to rectify button problem:
1. I have already replaced the Power & Volume Button Cable and it did not fix it. I am assuming that it is a mainboard issue.
2. I have also re-flashed 4.4.2 (KOT49H) factory image, just in case something was stuck.
So I was thinking if it could be solved via software (custom rom), by either disabling safe boot entirely or remapping keys early enough in the boot sequence.
Seems a shame for this thing to be almost useless (no 3rd party apps) just because of a broken volume button.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.

BUMP: I am having the exact same problem. I also replaced the volume button cable and that didn't solve it.
Hystrix0 did you ever solve this issue?
Nope, dhowell1, I did not.
I had to tell my sister she can use it for.... browsing the web? It's almost useless.

Hey guys,
I have a Galaxy S4 LTE (GT-I9505) and I'm currently at the official 4.4.2 (XXUFN88).
Yesterday I was listening to music and my volume started to go down by itself. I has annoyed me but ok. Today, at the morning, I've noticed that my volume down button wasn't working. So I restarted my phone. So the phone went to the recovery screen. Volume up to flash a rom or down to cancel. I tried so hard but none of the options were available.
After a few tries I succeed to enter in safe mode by turning on my mobile with the volume up pressed. At the safe mode I noticed that the volume up was normally working.
I thought that it could be a hardware issue. Then I head to a place to have this fixed. But after opening the phone we noticed that everything was alright. The technical assistance told me that the problem was at the software. Ok, I came home to reset the s4.
I did a factory reset through safe mode but the problem is still here. Now I'm planning to reflash the rom with Odin, but since I can't choose 'continue' at the recovery screen I don't know what to do.
Please help me. Thanks in advance.

[ATUALIZATION] Hey guys. I had no answer but here I am again.
I'm trying so hard to fix this problem. Now I'm pretty sure that my problem is software related. Just because when I turn on my phone it goes automatically to download mode (and i should been pressing power volume down and menu for that). And if i press volume up it goes to safe mode (but for that i should been pressing volume down and power insted).
Do somebody know how can I accept the option "CONTINUE" at the download screen with volume buttons unresponsive? I do really want to reflash the ROM and check if it works.

Can you not use the up button to loop around to continue then select it with power ?

No. When it reaches the Download screen any buttons work.

Hi,
My L720-S4 is experiencing a failure of the touch buttons (menu and return buttons next to the home button). I've researched and tried various programs, such as Virtual Button Bar and Button Savior. With these programs, the return function works well but the MENU button does not work.
I've done Xposed but that didn't have the options for the MENU button that I could find.
So after further research, I rooted the device to edit the /SYSTEM/USR/KEYLAYOUT/GENERIC.KL file to change the volume down button (114) to MENU. Unfortunately this also does not work.
Can I get some advice or suggestion as how I may go about reprogramming on of the keys to act as the MENU button ideally or have a menu button GUI overlay like the two software above? Device is currently on stock ROM @ 4.4.2.
Many thanks in advance for those that can help save this S4.
Cheers!
The Sprint S4 boot loader comes unlocked,and since youre already rooted,just flash a stock ROM or ODIN back to stock and re-root. All of this assuming you just want the buttons to work like stock.

It's probably me but what you suggest seems to be where I'm at right now. Flashing back to stock then re-rooting is the same as me rooting the stock ROM. If at all possible, I'm trying to map the volume down button with one press to work in place of the defective MENU button and a long hold of the volume down button will lower the volume.
Again, maybe I miss understood your suggestion so my apologies if that's the case and hope you'll explain in more detail.
Cheers!
