Home button not reacting when device is locked

Dear all,
I bought my wife a Galaxy y from t-mobile. I noticed when I locked the device via the button on the right and put the device in standby, I cannot wake up the phone by pressing the home button and get the screen to unlock the device by wiping. Only when I press the home button fot long time and sometimes twice for a long time, I manage to get the unlock screen. Very annoying. And when I do this, the sd card has to be remounted every time. Does anyone have had similar issues? Phone is on GB2.3.5 with LA2 rom if i'm correct. LH2 is the new release.
There's a software update available via Kies, but is not installed yet. Could it solve the issue? I hope someone can help. Thanks
Update the device, maybe the problem is due to update............
Did you check your lockscreen settings? Check there, you may put long press option there. Btw are you on stock rom or custom rom?

You've got quite a strange problem man! Maybe some glitch with your framework-res.apk. Do a full wipe (data & cache), and see if it resolves the problem. If it dosen't then flash the latest stock firmware.
Thanks for all responses. I was on Kernel LC1 and now after the update on LH1. But more important is that the issue is solved. Now home button works fine and no strange messages about memory card anymore. So I'm happy now...or better my wife

Custom ROMs can have their buttons programmed which ever way. I don't have the same ROM at the moment, so can't answer specifically for your ROM. But as an example, my Touchwiz ROM came with Wanam Xposed, which I can use to change the way the Home button behaves. Maybe there are some options in your ROM settings, or maybe the ROM came with some appropriate utility. If you don't find a way to customize the home button, I suggest you go check out the subforum specific for your custom ROM.

yestarday i try 6 roms , include CM11 , all roms same not have options ,
"Xposed" setting not effect anything
Are you refering to the recent apps panel? Or a full blown task manager cause i have not seen a rom come with a task manager but recent apps all9ws u to clear apps from memory but not kill system/kernel processes they way a task manager would

i mean when you long press on home button in other S4 models will opening task that show you which apps runing now , but in L720 not have this option , how can do it ? also if screen off in sleep mode , and other S4 models you press on home button the phone will wake up but L720 is doing nothing , maybe need to change in EFS or SYSTEM folder home button function ?
On stock Roms for the SPH-L720 the home button does wake up the phone and holding the home button brings up the task manager/recent apps. So it is the custom Roms that you are running. As mentioned above it has to be some of the settings.

Any asop rom will have those settings under "buttons". Ive never ran a stock rom for more then 5secs in my life on any of my phones but u have to mean the recent apps menu.
Ive been sticking with sokp but ive flashed every aosp rom here atleast once. Xposed is always an option or xda button remapper. I have mine setup longpress menu is recents.. Longpress home is camera.. Longpress volume up is flashlight.. Longpress back kills current app.. By using sokp built in button control. Xposed torch.. Xposed additions.. And developer options... I use an extra xposed module to adjust the long press delays (xposed additions)
Hello
Dear friends , i think i found the problem,
i replace charger flex port unit from I545 to L720

Great ROM
Hey guys, new to the forum. The best ROM I tried so far, took a while to get used to the many features that this rom offers, but is fast and stable, never had any problems with it. Though you need some basic experience to customize you phone using Phoenix rom, you'll end up with a device more efficient and great to use. I'd like to ask you one thing about the Ultra power saving feature (by the way is a great feature, it makes the phone battery in standby extremely efficient), is there any possibility to schedule this feature for example at night? It would be great to set it automatically between custom hours. I was impressed about how low consumption the phone has with this feature on. In my case during sleep, after 8-9 hours the battery percentage remained the same. Thanks and keep up the good work !

Not being able to check/uncheck "Restricted Background Data"
Folks,
I've searched several threads for this one and could not find the answer, so I hope someone can help. I've got the Phoenix ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349584 and it works great! The only issue I am facing since I got the ROM is that I do not receive notifications regularly when using data. I only get them once in a while. As soon as I switch to Wi-Fi though, I am flooded with messages. I have checked and wanted to make sure that background data was not restricted, but when I got there I realized this option was not clickable. It's there but I don't seem to have a choice. Is there a way I can get this one active or is there a way I can fix the issue? Anyone faced same issue?
Flashlight issue
Hi there,
Just installed PhoeniX 10, it's just awesome! Big thanks to tamirda
Regarding the flashlight issue mentioned by several users, I think I have it too. It has something to do with turning the flashlight on from the power menu. Steps to reproduce:
1. Open power menu and turn on Flashlight
2. Open notification toggles. Bug: flashlight toggle is off even though flashlight is still on
3. Turn on flashlight from toggle (now flashlight is still on and the toggle is on too)
4. Turn off flashlight from toggle. Bug: toggle is off but flashlight is still on (it can only be turned off from power menu)
The torchlight app behaves the same as flashlight toggle when flashlight has been turned on from power menu
Funny stuff to try: turn on flashlight from toggle and then turn it on from power menu. The flashlight intensity diminishes! Turn off the flashlight from power menu and it's still on, but back to high intensity. Turn it off from toggle first instead of power menu and the flashlight remains the power menu one.
It seems like the flashlight from toggle/torchlight app and the flashlight from power menu are 2 different things. And that the power menu one has precedence over the toggle/torchlight app one.
I hope this helps! I'm a first timer with this rom so I hope I'm not saying complete crap
I have a SPH-720 on Sprint and would love to get a couple of things fixed on my phone with this ROM. I read the first 300+ posts, then read the last 10 pages of posts and I don't see anyone else having this issue. So I wondered if someone here could help. Here is what I have done so far
1. Installed v10 ROM
2. No 3G or LTE data, WIFI worked fine
3. Flash stock NG2 KERNEL for Sprint SPH-720
4. Lost ROOT somehow in the process installing new kernel
5. Tried to flash SuperSu.zip file to get ROOT back no go, tried Towel Root method but said it was an unsupport device
6. Couldn't find out where to enter in APN settins. I went inside the Settings/Mobile Networks but there wasn't an APN setting, so I installed a third party app called Change APN
7. Gained carrier data 3g & LTE after entering APN settings for Sprint
8. The only other issue I have found is I can't send text messages but I can recieve them just fine
I am wondering first how to get root back, I flashed the SuperSu.zip file in TWRP but I don't have root after reboot. I thought about flashing the v10 ROM zip again but then I would have to put the stock kernel and then fix APN settings again.
The other issue I have is sending text messages. I have tried other SMS apps and none can send, only receive. Same with Google Hangouts, I can receive but not send.
Is there something I am missing? I am not a experience ROM builder, but I have customized my phones for years. I am interested in trying to get a ROM for one carrier to work on Sprint, and I have a bit to learn still. Besides these two issues the ROM is awesome and for me it actually is worth it to stay on it even with these issues.
I am open to trying anything, even erasing everything and trying something new.
I cannot install V10
Hi,
I have V9.4 on my Samsung S4, I have downloaded new version V10. When I am trying to install it, everything is ok, I choose what I want to install but there is a problem in last point of installation. When I push INSTALL, after just ONE second it is done and there is written than V10 was installed and phone ask me to reboot. But offcourse It is not installed and everything is same as before installation.
Please help. Thank you
First of all congratulations, great rom !
Bugs: in the initial configuration dropbox crash
Normal power saving bug: settings app crash when power saving enabled/disabled
Been using the Rom for almost a week and so far the experience is great the performance of the phone even with touch wiz is superb the battery life is also better. Would just like to post this short feedback and show my thanks to tamirda for the great rom.
I just have one issue with the car mode always poping up I might have disabled it incorrectly still trying to check on it.
stuck in samsung logo
im coming from GE 45. i used CWM and philz recovery but im stuck in samsung logo and not going anywhere. i thought it was an aroma issue and tried to install the ROM again without wipe but same thing happens.. any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance!

Touchscreen not working properly after firmware update

I decoded to upgrade from 5.0.1 to 5.1.1...really wish i hadn't.
First off i installed TWRP which went ok, though when i booted to recovery i noticed the touchscreen didn't work right, you had to press a couple of centimetres above the item you wanted to select. I figured it was just a dodgy interface and thought nothing of it
Then flashed this ROM [ROM][N910F][ALEXNDR] ★ COI3 / POF2 ★ DevBase, Multi CSC, Safe De-Bloat - http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/snapdragon-dev/rom-bob4-devbase-multi-csc-safe-bloat-t3033881 and updated the modem and bootloader to the 5.1.1 versions as per instructions on that thread.
When the phone restarted the touchscreen was still screwed, keypresses register no where near where they should.
At this point i was getting worried so decided to revert back to the stock 5.0.1 i was using. I flashed N910FXXU1BOC5_N910FBTU1BOB2_BTU along with the following BL_N910FXXU1BOB4 and CP_N910FXXU1BOB4.tar modem files using ODIN.
Restarted the phone and the screen is still not working properly
I've no idea what to try now, so figured i ask the experts on XDA
I had similar problems with touchscreen. Try this press *#2663# and you should see the menu I posted on the image. Update the first 2 options you see & reboot. Hit thanks if it helps ??
Thank you so much !!!!! It worked
Glad I could help ?
Thank you so much. My Note 4 was acting weird where only the S-Pen would work properly and touch didn't.
thank you very much,you help me a lot.

This fixed my issue!!! Great solution!
I had a few spots in lower right corner, for example keys bnm on keyboard sometimes weren't recognised. It was really annoying. Now it is working great after this update. Thanks ?

This happened to me to. TWRP is a piece of ****. Utterly unreliable and will give you a feeling of security. When you need it most this bugware **** will foul up, lock up and corrupt. I'v had many issues with this junk.

Lost back button after 5.0 update

Don't know what's going on but after I updated to 5.0 on my Canadian note 3 I lost the back button and my menu button sends me to a search. My menu and back button will work normally with the spen though.
When I flash android kitkat through Odin the buttons work normally again.
Is there a setting I'm not seeing? I've tried searching but only found issues pertaining to note 5

- rooted and installed recovery. Back button worked fine.
- made a full backup of the phone. Back button worked fine.
- installed note 5 port rom. Back button worked fine.
- decided to go back to my backup. Back button stopped working.
- reinstalled note 5 port rom. Back button worked again.
- installed official 5.0 firmware with Odin. Back button won't work.
- installed 4.4.2 official firmware with Odin. Back button worked fine.
- did Ota update to 5.0. Back button stopped working.

Buttons
Hi,
Did you ever find a solution? I have managed to get latin american versions of 5.0 to install and this restored the menu/back button, but at the cost of having severe bloatware or no AWS support.

I did almost exactly the same thing with exactly the same results... did you ever find a fix? I want to restore this phone back to stock, but without the buttons working it's useless.
Any ideas?

Steve
