Hello, ok so I have a bit of a weird problem with my S5... Basically I put it on charge last night, woke up this morning and the multitasking button (the one on the bottom left) and the home button (the large one in the middle at the bottom) just don't work? The multitasking one I've tried pressing loads of times and nothing happens, the home button if I press it loads of times in quick succession it will eventually come up with S Voice... the back button (bottom right) still works fine.
Any ideas what could be causing this? Any help would be very much appreciated as I am a complete novice when it comes to stuff like this!
Thanks!

Tried it, it worked for about 10 seconds and then stopped working again!
Think I've sussed it! Uninstalled the app 'Sliide' and it seems to be working fine again!?
Thanks for your help anyway

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
This is driving me crazy...
If I am in any app and press the home button it takes at least 3 seconds to go back to the home screen.
It can be fixed with a restart but it starts happening again?!?!
something is wrong with your phone. Factory reset it and see if it still lag.
Tested and no lag takes about 1 second .

I was having this problem as well. A restart fixed it though. But the restart reset all the configurations I had made to the app draw. The folders were okay, but there were no icons in any folder. I will post if it comes back again.
i had the exact same problem yesterday too - a reboot fixed it too.
will also post if it happens again ...

+1 less than a second. Have no problems our lags whatsoever.
Are you using Touchwiz? or using done 3rd party launcher?
I suggest you first format sd then go into recovery mode (press home button + vol up + power button together until reboot) and clear cache and factory reset <<- this is what I did from the moment if purchase!!
I had lag too when trying to return to home screen by pressing the home button. I reboot my phone and the lag is reduced by not entirely gone...still takes approx 1 second for it to change.
But after I reboot my phone, I noticed the TW App drawer is messed up. I had a "Games" folder created before...but that folder got filled with other apps instead after reboot.

This is due to the double click feature of the home button. Since a double click launches voice control mode the phone needs to wait and check whether there's a second click. Rather annoying IMO.

Ah thanx !
That definitely makes a lot of sense, since I noticed hitting back button to go to the homescreen is much faster (but of course doesn't always work). I was pretty sure the delay was intentional but couldn't find a reason why they would do that.
I hope the delay can be removed later on for people like me who never use voice input.
Does disabling VoiceInput solve this issue for anyone?
IIRC is there an option in the settings...
Upz!
Guys.. ya still having problems on this one? I just got my phone last week and I must say the lag is horrible as compared to SGS1. Even the power button takes time to wake up the device. 1 sec is kinda actually if you compare it with other phones...
Was hoping if someone has found a solution..
I just checked my phone without these problems, you may do a factory reset and try it again
In my opinion the suggestion about the bundled Voice Talk app from Vlingo over here makes sense:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=13905528&postcount=8
I did try to eliminate this by freezing Voice Talk in Titanium and rebooting, but did not see a fix in behaviour. Had tried LauncherPro for sometime but saw the same behaviour. Maybe will post this in one of the ROM threads.

Could you post your firmware? Thanks.
It's either the voice command, screenshot, or a combination of both causing this. I would assume there's a delay so that it can detect a second home press to activate voice command, or a delay to see if the power button is pressed to take a screenshot.
And yes I find it extremely annoying and hope someone can find a fix =(
If its to do with the voice talk double tap you can disable this in the settings. Disabled it on my phone and it seems ok but need to test it out properly. I'm running KF2 by the way.
I've found that whenever i install a lockscreen replacement the phones exhibits home button lag. But when i return to stock lockscreen, the lag is gone, and the home button works just fine.

I'm having the same problem. It has happened twice now. It seemed to resolve itself after about a day last time it happened. I messed with a lot of settings but I am not sure it was anything I did that fixed it. I'm having the problem again today and I don't know how to fix it.

Yes, it happen when i'm using 2 apps in background. Happen today using skype and whatsapp.... i don't know what happen
It's bone stock. I haven't even bothered to root it yet. Recently in the last week or two, sometimes after I updated to the most recent update the phone has become sluggish. The keyboard will sometimes take a long time to pop up and then when it does it will be laggy to type. It reminds me of how the stock messaging app was which is why I installed Textra.
Hitting the home or power button doesn't always take it up, I've tried holding the home button and still doesn't seem to work, still just a black screen. Holding the power button down it will eventually bring up the menu with "power off, reboot" etc on it and then I can use the home button but still sluggish.
I tried booting into Safe Mode and that seems to make it work normally.
I can't remember installing anything new recently so I'm wondering what could have caused the issues I'm experiencing? I know the boards are mostly geared towards people that root their phone and install custom roms but this is driving me crazy.
I uninstalled Yahoo Weather. It had been acting weird lately anyway and it seems to have fixed things... no idea why. Very strange.
wow--weird, but glad you got it--:good:
if you reinstall yahoo weather try clearing data and cache for app in settings/apps and see if that helps

Last week, I took my phone off the charger and noticed that the home button was not working. Did multiple reboots, clean wipes and also reinstalled the stock ROM, nothing worked. Did the *#808# fingerprint test and found that the figerprint sensor was not responding which led me to believe this could be a hardware issue. I did not have the time to go to the service center so I turned on the on-screen navigation bar and used it like this for a few days.
Today, I thought I'd try to sort this out one more time before I take it to the service center. The *#808# fingerprint test still showed the sensor not available. Rebooted the phone and turned the on-screen nav bar off. Lo and behold the home key started working. I do not know how this happened, I'm just glad that it did.
Just thought I'll post here so that if anyone has issues they could try this out and it might help someone.
Cheers.:good:
I got the same problem. My OP5 Home button(with fingerprint scanner) stopped working suddenly. It got stock android since purchase. I never tried to root it. It suddenly became unresponsive. Will try to use nav bar for few days. Im getting ghost touches as well. Any Help appreciated.
Hi. I have the same issue on my op3t, looking for idfeas.

Hi. I have the same issue on my op3t, Oxygeos Version 9.05. My home and recents buttons do not work but fingerprint works fine. I turned on the on-screen nav bar and the home and recents buttons don't work there as well. Turning it off didn't solve anything. Any idea? Thanks
Facing exactly the same issue after upgrade to 9.0.5. home and recent buttons are not working, but fingerprint is working fine. Did you resolve this issue by any chance? if yes, please let me know as well how it was resolved. thanks. -ramesh
Try doing a factory reset, but take a backup before doing that.

I am also facing this issue. It started off with a boot loop into the recovery every time i try to start the phone. It stopped after i cleared cache from recovery, but the default launcher doesnt work properly, no notifications in my drawer, and many other issues. the hardware buttons are responding (it lights up when i tap on it) but the OS doesn't do anything with it. I have tried with switching to the soft keys and it behaves the same way as well. the fingerprint scanner and back button works so far.
i'm having this problem too Got a OP3T, i found out a bit of info, it has to do with the screen, i'm still facing this problem so im gonna buy a replacement screen and see how it goes, ive already replaced the earphone jack board that houses most the flex cable connections and i also replaced the speaker, home button, and the usb c flex cable to no avail. what i haven't tried was to replace the battery and the main/sub flex cable inside. i'd really like a fix for this.
go to Settings -> Apps -> All Apps (ie including System apps)
look for com.android.fingerprint... or com.oneplus.fingerprint...
"Force Stop" it. and go to its storage and "Clear Cache" , "Delete Data" .
Now restart the Phone.
Worked for me on OnePlus3T running OxygenOS 9.0.5.
Phone was also on charging through out the procedure .. I doubt if it would have any significance though.
Good Luck.
I could not force stop this app.
MY SOLUTION
this is what it worked for me with OP5
I deactivated fingerprint, reboot to recovery, wipe cache+dalvik, restart (without fingerprint anymore) and it seems to be working just fine again.
I have observed this issue too in my oneplus 3 with oxygen os 9.0.6 and also in previous releases. The only thing that works for me is just to reboot the phone.

I am facing the exact same problem. Have tried all the other fixes/solutions mentioned in this thread except the 'Factory Reset'.
Please let me know what did you finally do to resolve it.
Thanks
Something new? I Have flash Havoc ROM, but problem still exist :/
back button and recent button does not work on mine.
I have to turn on screen navbar..
The home button was not working.. but it started working after i enabled onscreen navbar...
The phone went to frantic vibrate the first time it boot after flashing new rom..
the light can be seen on these 2 non functional h/w key during boot , but then it turn off, then the h/w back and recent key would not function..
I don't even know what happened to this phone...
Guess i'll keep using the onscreen navbar...
