hi, I have an i9505 which I recently restored to stock (I previously had cm12.1). I flashed germany 4.4.2 kitkat and it worked fine.
I did all the updates using OTA, which at the end updates the phone to 5.0.1. Now I have the latest version (XXUHOH2), but I noticed that the back button doesn't work anymore, it doesn't even light up when I press it. The menu button works fine instead. I factory restored the phone through official recovery but it didn't change anything. Is it possible that the back button suddenly stopped working after I updated to the latest version because of an hardware failure, or is it a software problem? The phone hasn't dropped off the table once, and even with the first lollipop update the button worked.
i solved this issue by installing another firmware (XYHOE1)... it seems that my phone doesn't like the german one
Hi. I am having the same issue. I got the OTA update today and 5.0.1 was successfully installed on my phone. However, after the reboot, the back button stopped working and wont even light up. Is there any workaround aside from installing that firmware that you mentioned?
Will surely appreciate your response.
I haven't found a workaround, i tried both normal and black edition OH2 but the issue remains the same... however I flashed a custom firmware (and thus keeping OH2 bootloader and modems) and it works perfectly... so I think it's a bug found in OH2 firmwares which happens in some phones... flashing previous version of any firmware should fix the issue.

Can you give us a link for that firmware? I can't find that firmware anywhere. Thanks!
The latest firmware official for Gt-i9505 Germany (DBT) is this ONE.

Please help me. I'm experiencing the same issue. I updated my phone to OH2 and after it finished updating, my back and menu button stopped functioning. Then received another update (OJ2) via Kies3, hoping that it will solve the issue I encountered in OH2 but nothing has changed. And now I downgraded my phone to a previous version of Lollipop (OC6) and it still not working.
Before updating my phone, I know and I'm sure my back and menu buttons are working fine that moment and like you, I haven't dropped my phone since I bought it so I'm sure this isn't a hardware problem. :crying::crying: Please help me. A big THANKS! :good:

Same problem for me. i tried even a Pit reflesh and dowgrade.
Same thing happened to me. I did the upgrade today, 24th Nov 2015, to Android 5.0.1 - Baseband versionXXUHOJ2 and my menu and back keys are gone. Very infuriating! Will Samsung fix this, or do I have to spend hours of my own time?
I have found a workaround, not ideal but helps short term. Go to Settings > My Device >Accessibility >Dexterity and interaction. Then switch on the Assistant menu. That gives you a little pop up square - available all the time - with 12 buttons including BACK and MENU.
I'm having the same issue. I came back to Kit kat coz I'm tired of Lollipop :silly:

Any updates or solutions as yet please?
I had a perfectly working Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505), then after a recent update was pushed out, the softkeys now do not function. Soooo frustrating...... my confidence in Samsungs' Updates are now dented, I shall seriously think twice about allowing any updates through.
hello there , i updated my i9506 to the latest latest XXUDOK2 stock firmware firmware, i noticed that everything is working well, except the fact that Palm swipe to take screenshot is not working, i checked the settings and confirmed that the feature is activated , is there any fix ? ........ Home+Lock combination works just fine
Recently I got my Nexus 6P repaired from Huawei authorized service center after boot up issue. After the repair, I came to know that they have changed the PCB and thus changed the IMEI no of my phone.
Everything was good until I installed the OTA update just after setting up the phone. The update was for upgrading the Android version to 7.0 (Android N). To my surprise, after the update I found that the Android version is still 6.0.1 when I checked the About phone in the Settings menu.
I am fearing that the change in IMEI no. has resulted into this problem where the updates are not being pushed to my phone. Can someone help me with what the problem is and how to resolve this. Has anyone else faced a similar issue and what should my next steps be?
I think that is normal. I also updated my 6p, update stated that I will get 7.0, but to my surprise, it's still 6.0.1 but the security patch is already for September.
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Labs
Most likely it wasn't the Nougat OTA but the september security patch which stated it would 'Prepare' your phone for Nougat.
Yea, just read the patch notes next time--they specified that they were just the monthly security update in preparation for Nougat.
March security update now receiving in Switzerland and UK.
Yep. Got it in SL as well.
And here in Greece too
Just got mine in TH

This happens from time to time on all stock Pie builds. Simple reboot usually restores this features and all recent apps.
After March security update I don't have voLTE (HD icon missed) Any ideas?
Works perfect guys, no major issues for now, the basics works just fine......will update
