Hallo guys, i just flashed N7000XXLPY via ODIN. Everything worked well but I have one big issue (that wasn't discussed in "bugs" thread).
Whatever I select, Swipe Unlock, Face recognition, Draw pattern, PIN code or whatever, it reacts the same: never requires swipe, PIN, pattern or else for unlocking. If i press briefly the power button, the display light switchs off. If I press again any other button (volume, home or power), the display light turns on but never asks for any method of unlocking. What to do? Does anyone else have the same issue?
Not happening here. Try a hard-reset after flashing a new ROM.
I have swipe unlock by default and it works. Screen does not power on when you press volume button, only if you press power or home button.
Thanks vcespon for your quick response. I tried hard reset via "Volume UP + Home + Power" method, I wiped cache, I tried hard reset via changing the CSC, I restored it to factory settings from menu, nothing worked. Any other oppinion?
LE: I found another issue, maybe is related with the first one. When I want to switch off the phone, I press (for 2 seconds) the power button and it just go to Samsung logo and swhitches off, without asking me those two questions about what I want to do (to can choose beetween flight mode, silent and power off) and if I'm sure that I want to power off the phone.
LE2: Tryed also Indian version (N7000DDLP8), no improvements.

I already did it, not knowing that I might brick it.
Thanks for the advice, I won't do it in the future till a safe official Kernel will be released.
Any solve to the issue that I have?

Hello Sir
Sir i am facing the same problem i have bought galaxy not n7000 and the problem i am facing is i have updated it to official ics indian rom and now i am not able to activate screen lock function and if i hold the lock buttton for 2-3 seconds the phone gets switched off, is it because of the kernel problem or anything else, i tried giving it to the samsung store but they dint fixed it. P.S i was not able to update my mobile through Kies as it said "this device can not be updated through kies" please help...
I just found a fast way to fix this problem.
1. Root your device.
2. Use this solution:
Download from Market "Terminal Emulator"
Open it and type this commands:
su
echo -n ON > /efs/imei/keystr
sync
reboot
100% works !

Hello Sir
yes it worked, but will it go away if i flash it again with other rom and dont root it???
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!
After flashing and rebooting kernel 8.1 on my d802 rom with G3CLoudy v2 rom.
my whole scrreen gone blank... the button still functioning since i can hear the sound when i press the volume button.
slution please...
The kernel you flashed was most likely incompatible with the current ROM your running, so go into recovery and restore your system from a backup..
well,
got a 9505 in a soft brick mode from a friend to fix, flashed a DBT NB8 rom and got it to boot.
BUT!!! non of the buttons work (power, volume, home, menu, return)
flashed custom rom to see if it fixes the issue... it doesn't
the phone worked before it got soft brick
and i can start the phone so power should work... but it doesn't in the rom
any ideas?
i have a problem with my s4 sprint.
i don't know is rom problem or physical, menu and the back key sometimes are working sometimes no, not responding well, i have tried many stock and custom rom but nothing, for almost a 9 month i have used this rom Echoe V29 Aroma& V29.1S5 UPSM for Verizon everything was working OK, install lollipop rom and menu and back key are not working(responding well), restore to Echoe rom but tha same problem menu and back key are not working. i don't know what to do because sometimes they are working sometimes no (No responding well).
for example when i press menu key is not showing the menu but it takes double touch and it shows google search.
Sorry for my English.
