Hello, suddenly my softkeys stopped working, I already tried doing a factory reset, reflash a different rom, but still no go.
What's strange is that even on landscape mode the keys dont work.
It doesn't seem to be a problem with the touch screen since the touch screen works fine as long as the soft keys aren't present.
Any help? Thnx!

Hi Salvy,
Did you flash a mod or another kernel?
It's a very common problem with the Nexus 4. I've been using paranoid android pie for 6 months to work around the issue. I can confirm that it is a hardware issue and not a software problem. A quick Google search can tell you that.

Got the same damn problem. I would normally use a smart phone for at least 18 months but the Nexus 4 only lasted 14 months. I was hoping to use it till the Nexus 6 came out but after sending it off to be fixed, using a dumb phone for 10 days and the phone came back with the same problem, I had to go buy a Nexus 5
My soft keys work in portrait but not in landscape. I enabled the 'show touches' option in developer mode and I can see the lower 4mm of the screen isn't registering any touch. Do a quick search on Google and you'll find there are loads of people out there with the same problem. The only solution is to change the screen and I haven't seen anyone manage to get it changed under warranty . I have sent it back and expect them to fleece me off £100 for a new screen.
Disappointed with the quality of the N4 but I had no choice but to get the N5 even though it is also by LG cause once you go Vanilla, you cant go back

Ok. so I have been told by the LG service centre in Mumbai that this happens when an android update doesnt get installed properly, it definately is an android update problem according to the service centre. But since i am out of warranty by @ DAYS I have to pay Rs. 5300 for no fault of mine... ****ed up!!!
I found a solution somehwere on the internet!!
I had this problem for the last day this is the solution.
Download the application: GMD Auto Hide Soft Keys ★ root
Use it, toy with it and restart your phone. And it just works.
This worked with unrooted phones aswell, as the solution said. I don't know.
Your welcome!

I paid Rs 4700 which includes service charge, taxes etc in addition to the cost of the screen+ digitiser. The guys at service center dont have separate screen and digitiser but just both of them as single replacement. I just hoped that they could have better service centers and support, but you cant help.
Using `wm` command on phone via ADB shell to add an blank border on screen

I used virtual buttons for awhile, but in the end, discovered a way to do it without rooting, so long as you have the `adb` command line tool installed for development, and don't restart your phone that often:
From a command-line termal:
```
# Log into a device connected via USB.
# (Look for a tutorial on using adb, as it need some config on the phone)
adb shell
# Change the screen "overscan" using the window manager tool on the phone:
wm overscan 0,0,0,80
```
The trick is that, overscan essentially adds a buffer (black bar) on any side of the screen for positive numbers. (the screen extends "offscreen" for negative ones.) `wm --help` will show you that the accepted format of overscan is:
```
wm overscan [reset | LEFT,TOP,RIGHT,BOTTOM]
```
ie. you can either reset it to default, or set any border. In my case, I set the bottom border to 80 pixels, and that was enough to avoid the non-responsive section of the touch screen.
Of course, I assume this reset on reboot, but haven't tried yet. If it does, I'm sure someone can figure out a clever way to make it persist
Anyhow, hopefully this helps!
Found the issue and got it fixed
It worked for me. I had the same Problem and it occur when i bought new power cable. The i plugged the original blackberry micro usb cable for power up and it started working for me. Its weird but the cause of the problem is when i plugged the cheap micro USB.
Note:- this is my first update to any forum just to help people if someone has the same problem as mine.

Yes,it could be a microusb,i was in a hurry two day's ago and took one problematic microusb cable,when i put it to charge touchscreen has gone mad,it was ghost touches,slow respond,all until i turned it off,then after reboot my softkeys stopped to work,it was such for a whole day,i tried to remove batt and discharge pressing power button for 1 minute but nothing,cleared cache,uninstall app,but nothing...so i discharged it completely,took hairdryer and heated it for 45sec,and then charged overnight. In the morning soft keys worked....
This worked for me very good altought still present some softkeys bug (but just turn off the screen and turn on again and works again).

I have recently traded my NEXUS 4 and now own a Grand X Max Plus. Thank you for your help.
found solution in Chroma ROM
Hi Guys, was using CM 13 Android M, Soft keys stopped working. Tried flashed with multiple CM 13 nightly. No luck. Finally installed Chroma ROM. Over there keys are working fine.
I experienced this issue tonight and was able to fix it quickly.

Issue:
-Softkeys not working when located on the side of the screen closest to the charging port. Softkeys would work when the screen was rotated such that the softkeys were located on the side of the screen closest to the headphone jack.
Device:
-Nexus 4 running 5.1.1
Conditions:
-Battery was 85%-90% charged
What fixed the issue:
-Plugged the phone into a USB charger. I did not use a Nexus charger; I used a random LG charger I had laying around.
-Pressed and held the power button for 30 seconds. The phone powered off after ~10 seconds. Shortly after the phone powered off, the notification light flashed red for the remainder of the 30 seconds.
-Powered the phone back on. When the phone was finished booting up, the softkeys worked again.
What didn't work:
-Restarting the phone multiple times
-Restarting into Safe Mode
-Disabling Chrome (Settings >> Apps >> Chrome >> Disable)
phone was working fine but from last two week the screen starts moving automatically, Wi-Fi turns on automatically at any time. the install button of Google play doesn't work (seems like touch issue) but when i touch the same spot with camera application, it works fine. i am on stock ROM (4.4.2, kernel 3.4.0, KOT49l ) and tried resetting the phone multiple times but facing the same issue.
please help me resolving this issue.
regards.

These are not software problems (dead touchscreens spots), your knock on will not working. It's hardware issue, I think you need sending it back to LG

You are just scaring ppl .. You said that my phone has probblem too .. So just dont scare ppl .. and try to help them..
i had this kind of issue with my other phone, I just downgraded to Jelly Bean and it worked fine ... and did the touch drivers update from the hidden menu 3845*#802# ...
i think you have a dead section along the top of your screen, about half an inch down. Its been fairly common. Its not real noticeable at first , bc that area of the screen isnt used often, but its EXACTLY where the play store install button is, and your knock on will no longer work. you need a new screen. or flip it to landscape whenever (seldomly) you need that area of screen. you can test it by getting LCD tester from the playstore , or by using quickmemo to draw on your screen.

This happened to me exactly, about a month back. It seems to be right across where the 2nd from the top messages are. You can download YAMTT https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rn.yamtt&hl=en
I use the PAINT option and move my fingers around the top. It was a solid strip out near the top. Knock On will no longer work, but Knockoff will.

that could be because the camera button has more "active area" meaning, it will still work if you tap near but not exactly in the same location. the install button on the play store is very very precise. if your knock on does work, then its probably just software. but if your knock on does not work, i recommend testing the hardware with quick memo.... draw lines all the way up and down your screen slowly, and see if there is a break in that area. if its not the screen, unroot, and go all the way back to stock
i don't know how but it has started working automatically form last 10 minutes and google play button is now accessible.
i hope it wont give that error again.
thanks for all good suggestions.

Hi there,
I migrated to LOS two weeks ago and I'm fairly happy with it. It runs really smoothly, however I think I have found a bug. From time to time when I wake up my phone it just shows the clock (with the correct time) on a blue tile. The phone seems to still be working as I can use the flashlight (by pressing and holding the pwr button when in sleepmode), but no matter what I do, I can't do anything useful. I'm stuck on that screen.
I haven't found out what causes this strange behavior.
All I can do is remove the battery and reboot.
Has anyone else come across this phenomenon and knows more than I do?
[Edit:]
Can't post the picture, as I don't have enough posts yet
[/Edit:]
Cheers
johntwenty
Update:
I had to go back to CM as the phone function didn't work.
I do like LOS 14.1 a lot, however all the features are of little use if people at the other hand can't hear me
So much for now. I'll probably try LOS again at a later time, when more of the issues are fixed.
Thanx
johntwenty
Alright,
I've gone back to LOS 14.1. and installed the most recent nightly build lineage-14.1-20170315-nightly-klte-signed.zip.
The phenomenon described above is still present, however, I noticed that if I hit the back button within one or two seconds, my phone will get back to normal. If I wait longer, there is no way to recover without removing the battery.
I hope that this information might help.
Cheers
johntwenty
Yes. Experiencing exactly this. sm-g900v, may 24th Klte.
It was one of the reasons why I've stopped using LOS.
I've read somewhere that you need to disable S-View Cover somewhere in the settings to get rid of this bug.
It was after reflashing to TW ROM, so I haven't tested this solution.
Thanks for feedback. via Google determined s view is flip cover. Completely disabled...see if it continues.
Yes, it's a special Samsung cover which I've never used.
I think that the phone should respond to its magnet.
Since I have no this cover, the phone could be "misled" by a magnet in my bag or something.
Haha...believe may have put it together. Have carried ecig (joytech vtc mini) along with phone in same hand with them touching each other. VTC mini has 2 small strong magnets on 18650 battery cover. It's only occurred half dozen times since using Lineage this last month and has not locked up lock screen since disabling flip cover.
Just one more reason not to smoke :lol
Hi All ,
Where is this S-view cover disable on Galaxy Note 3 please ?
Thanks for info 'flip cover' on setting disabled.
Just want to add that I had this problem again yesterday, after a long while, with Lineage 14.1-20171214-NIGHTLY-klte. Left it like this overnight, same in the morning.
I noticed that many things still work: bluetooth auto connects, sounds are played. Probably everything works except one cannot use the screen.
Connecting adb works, changing screen resolution changes the form of that color rectangle but doesn't help. Reboot via adb works (and I think the force reboot via Power+VolDown also works).

Thank you so much for this info. Got the exact same problem on my HTC10 and turning the setting completely off in the settings solved it. I think the reed contact in my phone must be broken or sth... but at least I don't have to restart my phone every time it happens!

Thanks for tips. I've just use neodymium magnet. I've moved on phone back and Android is usable again without rebooting!

Hi guys, I'm having the same problem with a Note 3 N9005. I installed TWRP 3.2.2.0 and then LineageOS 14.1. After booting the device I see for a second "next" , but the screen jumps too quickly to a blue tile with time and date. There it stucks. I got an ORIGINAL SAMSUNG flip-cover (the one with magnets, cover closed-> screen is off), but even with this thing installed it doesn't work. Same thing happens, blue tile and no responding to the flip cover at all. Disable S-view cover is not an option, as i can't get into the phone's OS at all.
How do i get into the phone's OS and settings? Does the trick with the magnet work for somebody?
Please, explain clearly how you got around this issue. Thanks in advance!

I always delete Flipflap as one of the first things I do on a fresh install. It seems to always act up for me. The trick with the magnet is to pass it across the screen in the area above the recents key, that should trip the smart cover off, then you can disable it in options, or remove the app completely if you have root.
EDIT: Sorry, just noticed you have a Note 3, these instructions are for s5, magnetic sensor may be in different spot on note 3
I was struggling to find the setting to turn off the S View cover on LineageOS 16 on my S5.
Found it in Settings > Connected devices > Connection preferences > Smart Cover
Turn it off via the toggle at the top!
We'll see how it goes! Thanks!
This is also apparently just bad design in Lineageos
for the S5 or whatever layer of software/firmware controls this, as this Blue Screen of Death disables power-button NMI forced reboots: if this happens on a fixed-battery phone, you get to wait until it goes flat, which is why I'll stick with the S5 forever.
Following the instructions, I found and disabled Smart Cover in Connection Preferences (many thanks to whoever figured this out); apparently Lineageos 16 ships with this enabled (bad design). I'd never even heard of a Smart Cover or knew the phone had a magnet gimmick like the tablets do.
One principle of software design which is not widely appreciated is that doing too much is often worse than not doing enough.
My OP5 screen had a small crack so I decided to repair it. After following the tutorial on youtube step by step the phone powers up fine. But as soon as the screen goes to sleep, it get stuck in black, although it feels like responsive (Ican hear the clicks and vibrates and all) but it wont wake up

Could you wake up the screen? Maybe it's a connection problem or related to the proximity sensor?
Did you ever find a solution to your problem? I have exactly the same problem, but it happens only with Android 9.0. Oreo seems to be working OK, but as soon as I upgrade to official 9.0, the screen won't wake up from sleep. The backlight turns on, but the screen stays black. The phone works OK as long as I use it, but if I press the power button or let it to enter "standby mode", it will stay that way (off). I suppose it has something to do with the replacement screen, but since it works with 8.0, I wish there was a workaround to get the LCD to work with Pie too.
Same problem here. Replaced display too.
I've had a similar issue with a different device before (ZTE nubia Z7 mini). I replaced the screen and it would work correctly, but when I booted TWRP, I would get a black screen. I figured that because the replacement screen was not an OEM one, it may have something to do with LCD drivers in the recovery. I used the old cracked screen with the device opened up to navigate in the TWRP recovery, and I flashed an newer/different recovery. Voila, the new recovery worked with my replacement screen. Based on this experience, it may just be an LCD driver compatibility issue with the replacement screen, causing the screen to just go into forever sleep mode. The driver may need to be changed or tweaked in the Pie version for your replacement screen to work with it. Just a thought, not fully certain.

You're probably right about the driver issue. My OP5 has no problems whatsoever with Android 8.1, but 9.0 won't work no matter what I do after waking up the device. The backlight turns on and and off for a few times after which nothing happens. The phone is still working normally, but it's in "blind mode" (music will continue playing, volume buttons work...but they're kind of slow and laggy) Too bad that the latest update (9.01) didn't fix this issue either. I really wouldn't hold my breath getting this issue fixed anytime soon (officially) as it seems to be a cheap 3rd party screen problem.
edit: I tried the custom recovery (20181227) and the same thing happens there. Once screen goes off, it won't come back on.
Edit 2: gave up on the replacement screen and ordered an oem lcd. Lets see how it goes.

Do keep us updated if changing the display again fixes this issue. Would be interesting if someone had a fix for 3rd party displays but as of now it seems that's highly unlikely

Sure.
Got the new OEM amoled screen today. It's brighter, more responsive and doesn't get stuck (black screen) with Android Pie. Problem solved. Price was 3 x higher than the cheap 3rd party screens, but definitely worth it (around 80 euros). All screen gestures work as well.
Bought it on Witrigs (https://www.witrigs.com/oem-lcd-screen-assembly-for-oneplus-5-midnight-black). it came really well packed and arrived fast (7-10 days to Finland). I highly recommend this screen and Witrigs to everyone
Also changed the screen from a friend and have this strange behavior, that the screen won't turn on .. only when I reboot or double press the power button so it launches the camera - the delay tho is about 7s, which is insane! you guys think this is the screen problem, or did I damage something and if yes, what? I repaired about 100 phones in total already ..

Sounds a lot like my OP5 with cheap 3rd party screens which would hardly work at all with Android Pie. If your friend's phone is running on Pie, try downgrading it to Oreo and see if that helps. My phone worked moderately with Oreo but not at all with Pie (wake and touch issues). Currently my OP5 is running Android Pie perfectly with the screen that I bought on Witrigs.

Bizarre, have you tried the usual factory reset / rom reflash? If you confirm that its not a software related issue, then it probably is just the screen if its not an OEM part. Can't see what else would be the issue here unless there was other kind of damage before the repair maybe
Like @sbasil mentioned, it could just be due to the non-OEM screen being incompatible with Pie drivers.
Thank you for saving my phone

Mine not working with lineage base rom but is good with last pie 9.0.8. Did you try it?
Have this issue too
My OP5 has its original AMOLED screen. Running OS 9.0.8. This started happening after the most recent update. At least I never noticed it before.
I ran *#808# diagnostics, thinking maybe it's the proximity sensor, or the fingerprint scanner, but everything passed.
Also while locked, ambient display works. It's just getting the Home screen to appear after waking the phone that's become agonizing. And it does wake, the touch screen is responsive, it's just completely blind.
I mean consider this: I can take a screen shot, a screen shot, while the screen is in ambient display and the screen shot is of the home screen.
Pressing the power button or home button or notification slider repeatedly sometimes coaxes it to appear, but the only sure way to get the Home screen back is to restart the phone.
I had a black screen issue after changing the screen to an OEM AMOLED one, and after tearing my hair out for a couple of hours, I discovered that turning off " night mode" fixed the problem instantly
Same happened to me... cracked screen, purchased 'OEM screen' installed. Some apps work, some just black screen.
Driver issue? Running Pie 9x. Anyone had success with this by dropping back to Oreo? Would it do anything different to flash the Pie Firmware?
I repair/upgrade OnePlus 3/3T/5/5T phones to donate to families in need at the local family shelter. Some of them have lost or had to sell their phones just to get food and such. Now they need one to arrange job interviews and housing, things of that nature. So anyways, all that to say this.... I have replaced a LOT of displays, and all of them were the 'cheap' ebay variety. Each and every time I would replace the display, the phone would act just as described in this thread.
After long hours of reading, searching, and experimenting, I have found the ultimate and final solution to this problem. The answer to this issue is simple, but was not so simple to find. Whenever anyone does a screen replacement, and the screen is not the high-priced OEM variety, their phone will almost always have extreme difficulty in waking. The fix, and it has worked for me 100% of the time, is to flash a custom kernel. For the OP5/5T the kernel I use that always works is the Affinity kernel. Just flash and forget. The phone will always wake up after you flash that kernel.
However, don't forget, that what also happens with these lower priced replacement screens is that you can no longer double-tap to wake. I still haven't found a solution for that problem, but it always happens each time I replace a screen. The kernel won't help with that. But it does fix the 'won't wake up' problem.
Try it for yourself and see. You will be happy you did!

... The fix, and it has worked for me 100% of the time, is to flash a custom kernel. For the OP5/5T the kernel I use that always works is the Affinity kernel. Just flash and forget. The phone will always wake up after you flash that kernel.

Please, can you point which FW you're using?

I'm not clear about what you are asking. What exactly are you calling FW?? Some people mean radio and camera firmware. Some people mean the custom rom that gets flashed. What do you mean?
I've been using the PH-1 for a year and a half and its great, but a couple days ago i would unlock the phone via fingerprint (as ussual), it would unlock but the touch wont work, so i factory reset the phone and still the same, remove the case and the screen was loose (almost complete), but the cable was well connected on both sides so i got the screen glued, but still the same.
Im using Android Pie (from day 1) with March update (updated like a week ago), in order to use the phone beyond what Google assistant can do i have to reboot the phone (using power and volume buttons) to get the touch to work again and dont let the screen go off. Sometimes after rebooting the touch works even if i turn the screen off and on, but i think its just luck.
You guys think it might be a software issue? or hardware issue? because i don't live in the US or CA, so i would have to wait a couple weeks for the screen to get here and i would'nt be able to return it in case its not a screen malfunction.
I really don't wanna change my phone, i love the PH-1.
EDIT: i just replaced the screen with a new one from fixez.com and the problem persists, i think april's update broke something. is there something i can do to check the software? Pls help.
I rooted my phone and almost the same thing happens. I turn off the screen and turn it back on and the touch is unresponsive. Howver, ONLY the apps left on screen are unresponsive. I can still pull down from status bar its weird.
Update 1: I saw u mention fingerprinting. I removed mine and somehow it seems to have stopped. I'll use it for about another day or 2.
Update2: Well it doesn't. If my screen times out with an app open. The app is unresponsive upon waking.
