Samsung S4 GT-I9505 touch lights doesnt work after update - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello! I have a strange problem after the last update of Android 5.0.1 Somehow the touch light buttons (those near home button) doesn't work at all.
What can I do ? I flash the ROM, wipe everything, nothing seems to work.
I open to suggestions or if the is app that could fix this let me know!
Thanks in advance

I'm having the same problem but I'm not sure if its because of the last update or not.
I'm using an app called Back Button to workaround this for now.
Would also be interested in other solutions.

I have the same issue too but after a factory reset, touch light work

[Q] buttons fail

hi,
i installed cm 7.1.0. after a week or so, the touchscreen stops working properly. i wiped using the calkulkin erase all zip. tried flashing again and erasing then other stable version. touchscreen continues to play up. finally flashed with sun rom. home key and eome keyboard keys still dont work. any suggestions?
cheers paul
It's obviously a hardware issue if it persists across ROMs (Not that a ROM can ever cause a touchscreen to play up randomly)
which bit
thanks 3xeno,
any ideas on which bit - controller or screen itself? I can replace the screen and the receiver.
Cheers Paul
I have similar problems any progress with this?

[Q] Auto Screen Rotation went dead

Hello all,
My Iconia A500's auto screen rotation just suddenly went dead on me. Flipping the lock toggle near the volume buttons on and off doesn't do anything.
I've tried resetting the device via the reset button, factory reset it via the settings menu as well as the recovery menu (oh yeah, it's rooted, currently using thor's CW recovery v.1.5). I've also tried installing another ROM, deleting the cache partition and dalvik cache, fix permission, all to no avail.
I don't think its faulty gyro since I can still play NFS just fine. Its just refusing to auto rotate the screen.
Any of you guys ever experience this? Or maybe have any ideas I can try out ?
Thanks in advance!
hello, are you using thor ROM?

I did, just to see if it can fix the issue (the auto rotation went dead while i used a rooted stock rom). why?
Oh, I'm aware that Thor's newest ROM doesnt support the hardware autorotation toggle. I've tried the software toggle without any effect.

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

Problem with touchscreen since 4.4.2 update

Hey there
A friend of mine has the following problem with his Note 3 (completely stock).
Since the latest 4.4.2 OTA update, sometimes suddenly the screen does not respond to touching it with your hand. It does react to the stylus.
Locking and unlocking the screen does the job, but only for a few minutes.
I wiped the phone via stock recovery, but the problem persists.
Anyone with the same problem, or maybe a clue?
Thanks!

Hi
Same problem here,I tried several 4.4.2 official and custom roms but not fixed and I tried these too:
I tried mega wipe and last rom in samfirmware!
I removed my external sd card
And I googled and found there are others with same problem so it shouldn't be hardware problem
p.s.When screen freezes just half of it works! And just doesn't work by fingers and it works by s_pen!
There no way to come back to 4.3 too
What should I do?
Ty in advance
Finally Solved!
Hi
I had same problem
I did everything u said like:
mega wipe and changing rom
custom roms
taking out battery when it's on ( I Did this but I don't know It had any effects on my phone or not!)
taking out external card
But I still Had the Problem
Solution:
But I had a flip cover and I separated that from phone and thanks God,surprisingly It's Fixed and it works like a charm!!! after that I used my original cover and there is no problem till now.
Good Luck
Had the same issue posted it here bit no one responded.
Solution: The flip case I had..there's a problem with it where it locks the screen even when the case is not closed. But lately I had no issue it just seem to gotten fixed by itself.

[Q] Problems with screen and Back, home, menu and something else!!!

Hi guys!
I've just bought a Note3 n9005 in Singapore, starting with ANdroid 4.4.2
At first it worked very well. But after some times I restart, an error appeared immediately after the phone is on "Unfortunately...process phone.android.com has stoppped". I choosed "OK" and it wont come again if I dont restart my phone,
But it's not only all my problems. In fact I had used a fake S-view although it doesnt work with kitkat (It's a gift from Phone store, It was only used to protect the phone like a flip-cover). And a new problem appear: sometimes my phone is in LAG Touchscreen does not work, I try to drag the Notification bar down, I can do it, and then the screen displays the "notification infomation", touching is unresponsive. Home button and 2 touch buttons Back+menu does not work too. It is just solved by turn off the screen using Power button, and turn on it again.
Can someone tell me the reason about my problems? And how to fix them?
Thank you!
P/s:I'm sorry this is my first post so it can contains errors. Tell me please

What did you do exactly? did you root your phone and try to delete some stuff? use touchscreen test for your touchscreen to see
the problem,, you can find them on the play store.
What is your phone build number? last resort is just get the stock firmware and reflash it with odin3.09. search it over the forum.

Yes, do factory reset first. Backup everything from kies since your device is not rooted. will see from there.

------------------------
If that doesn't fix it, you may have touchscreen issues. Some Note's are affected by this and need replaced.
