Home button no function help!

Hey guys, out of nowhere I took out my phone, unlocked the screen and after checking something online found my home button serves no function whatsoever. When I press it the phone vibrates and when I hold it it does a londer vibrate like when the menu of recent apps opens but nothing actually happens. Even when in apps pressing home gives me a vibration but actually accomplishes nothing... Anyone have any ideas on whats causing this and how to fix it? I already tried pulling the battery and even reflashing streakdroid with no luck

Also when I hold in the power button the only option I now have is to power off, airplane mode and other options dont show up at all

Steps you might take:
Remove overclock on setcpu
Clear dalvik cache
Perform factory reset
Return to vendor / manufacturer
That's in order of least to most extreme.

I've tried removing overclock to no avail, my next step is to try clearing the cache and we will take it from here. Has anybody else experienced this issue?

Well, after trying everything I did a factory reset and its working perfectly now, I have no clue what went wrong but its working properly now

I can't make screenshots anymore. I had been doing it alot.

And just in case I may have suddenly forgotten how to time the two buttons, I tried downloading Play store apps (they dont need root, which i don't have anyway) and they indicate that my screenshotting service isn't active.
I've never tried to turn it off, but I guess there is a chance that installing some other app might have messed it up? the only other thing i could think of is that i might have killed a crucial process when i first saw how you could force stop apps and processses.
I've tried rebooting. no luck.

why can't I solve this? no one really can help???
this is my first android phone and i really expected there to be more help with this kind of thing

Android pro tip.
If your having a software issue that you really can't seem to fix, perform a factory reset. If that doesn't fix it, you've got bigger problems.

i have a noob question
how does factory reset work?
will it erase my photos and apps?

If you have your google account synced and all your contacts on your google account, the reset will put it to defaults and as soon as you sign in will re download your apps and contacts. At least that's what I have had happen. Make a back up externally just in case

PRESS and HOLD the volume down and the power for a few seconds and it should take a screenshot (maybe your not holding it down long enough). factory reset deletes everything off your phone's internal memory.

Factory resets from recovery don't do that.

Camera light flash not turning off?

Bought this phone about 2 weeks ago. Was playing with the settings when i noticed in accessibility there was an option for the camera light to flash when you get a message. Cool right? **** no!
At first everything seemed great, then while sitting in the gf's truck waiting for god knows what, i noticed that the light was on in my pocket, the phone was mad hot, and it killed the battery power by 30%.
Ok, simple solution right? Turn off the option... Later in the day realized the flash was back on on notifications, turned it off again. Long story short, unfroze all the bloat (non rogers bloat anyways) and killed the process (cant remember the name atm) and problem solved. The accessibility option did not re-enable.
Until today... Weeks later, randomly, the phone is flashing away on notifications once again. Turn off the option, reboot, and the option is selected again.
This phone has been problem free, no power issue or fc's. Actually its a great device, but is this stupidity really just me?

Yeah, had a feeling this was just me...

Have you tried wiping cache (and dalvik if you have cwm/twrp) in recovery after resetting light notification setting?

Stupidly enough no... Considering this being the first device I've left stock the thought hadn't even crossed my mind. (cache wipe, yes ive done, didnt think of dalvic though).
Thanks, will give it a shot.

Anyone have this problem with Oreo?

Updated to Oreo and now my second screen is missing and every 2 seconds a pop up says Unfortunately the second screen has stopped working.
Is there any fix for this? Thanks!

Have you tried a factory reset? That or force stopping it and clearing data?

Hi,
I found (with hard effort, kinda, cus it kept popping up) that in App info there is two of them, Second Screen provider & Second Screen settings.
Tried to quickly force close & clear data both of them but the Second Screen is crashing still.
Plus, I don't want to factory reset.

You are going to have to factory reset that is the fix. You might be able to fix it with clearing caches and davlik in twrp if that is applicable. But chances are factory reset will be the only thing that fixes it.

Strange instances of multiple reboots!

This is really starting to get on my nerves now. Ever since I got my new S10+ from AT&T, it's occasionally done this thing where after I reboot the phone, I unlock it, and it briefly says "starting phone" on the home screen, and then will mysteriously do a quick reset, where it skips the AT&T logo and jingle, and just shows the Samsung splash screen , then takes me back to the lockscreen and it's usually fine after that.
However, Just now I decided to reset my phone, like one should do periodically, and it did the strange double reset after unlocking... Then when I unlocked it, after the "starting phone" message I tried to open a browser, and BAM! Quick reset again! Unlocked, let it start up, tried to open an app, BAM quick reset again after the screen briefly shifted from landscape to portrait mode (even though I was still holding it long ways in landscape position). Its never done this before and I'm getting concerned. It's never randomly reset while using the phone, this only happens right after a reset.
Any ideas? I've already tried wiping partition cache after big updates, doing soft resets. I'm worried that I'm going to have to end up resorting to a factory wipe, as others suggested I do when I was having battery drain issues on the ASD3 firmware, possibly because of restoring everything from a backup of my last phone when I got this one. Because supposedly restoring from backups from AT&T, Google or Samsung has caused all sorts of problems for people. I really don't want go wipe everything and spend hours try to get it all back on here manually if i don't have to.

Had an issue with this early on but seems to have been fixed at some point, I'm I'm exynos though so probably not much help!

Dang... So it does appear to be an issue experienced on both Exynos and Snapdragon variants. I wonder if there is or will be a fix for this. I've been asking around and haven't gotten many responses about this problem at all. I'm concerned because it seems to be getting worse than when I first got the phone.

I'm having the exact same problem. Sometimes it goes through quick reset, full reset, a couple more quick, then back to the Verizon logo, then starts up. Opening an app at that point usually does another quick, then full, then everything works. Glad I'm not the only one, but I haven't found any solutions either.

Mine does the same. Unlocked bought directly from Samsung. I don't reboot the phone very often so it doesn't bother me that much.
