Hi everyone!
I've purchased a second hand i-mate jam (magician) yesterday. There was a problem with it and I've upgraded to big storage 1.13.00 WWE with 1.12.00 radio. However the problem is consistent:
Every button is working besides directional buttons. I guess they are acting like enter button (including the middle selection button). And here's the funny thing: when I click any of the directional buttons, the red/close button stops to work and calender button acts as align screen!
What am I going to do with my schizophrenic buttons? Help me out!
I'm having more experience day by day, if any other semptoms are observed, I will share it with you guys. (and gals, if there is any)
Bye the way, donation is one solution away... (if you dont want to help for free )
Addition: I guess this is related with driver or rom issues, thats why I put this topic here. If anywhere else is the right place, move me there sir (admins)
Ow, ow, I forgot to tell: if I turn it off and back on (standby), the same working buttons back... When I press directionals, here comes the problem...
Problem identified
Middle selection button is kept pressed.
Try on your own: press calender while holding middle selection key: align screen...
Guys, since several versions of (mainly Energy) Roms (with Manila 2.1 as well as with 2.5) I have this problem: When I press the left phone button the phone does nothing instead of jumping into the phone mode. I need to switch it of (display switch on top of the phone) and on again, then it mostly works. Also the home button and the back button often scroll through the tabs instead of jumping directly to the home screen or ... Anybody else with this issue or - even better - with a solution?
Moved as not ROM Development.

I have been having exactly the same problem for a few months. I was first thinking a hardware problem, perhaps the button contacts got munged (too much kevtris?). But it is very intermittent. Sometimes the problem lasts for a day, other times just a few minutes. Summary of intermittent problems:
Home button non-responsive. When running an app or in Sense/Manila/TouchFlo, pressing home does nothing.
Home button switches to the left Sense tab when in Sense. When viewing email, switches to a different email account. [Obviously being interpreted as a left-arrow.]
Back button non-responsive. When running an app, pressing back does nothing. Which makes it more difficult to navigate around.
Short-press send button non-responsive. Doesn't display dialer either when trying to start a new call, or returning to the dialer in a call.
Long-press send button non-responsive. Mapped to my task manager so should start that.
Possibly related - When reading emails zooming text size using the scroll wheel only works about half the time.
The PTT, volume, and power buttons always work fine.
I haven't noticed whether sleep/unsleep (short-press power button) helps.
Soft-reset sometimes helps, not always.
I don't hard-reset unless upgrading the ROM; this has survived across three different versions of EnergyROM.
I have had my phone since Nov 2008 and it was free, so I figure I got my money's worth.
EnergyROM 09.Mar.2010 WWE
Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional
CE OS 5.2.21895 (Build 21895.5.0.90)
Manila version: 2.1.19202517
Radio version: 1.14.25.35
Protocol version: 52.64c.25.35H
To orkan95: I have exact same problem as you: the "Answer", "Back", "Home" buttons sometimes scroll through different tabs, what's even worse for me is that when I open some item list (e.g. Emails, RSS ), it automatically scrolls up and down randomly (my finger wasn't even touch the phone) .
This has been a very annoying problem since Day 1 I had flashed my HTC Touch Pro with custom roms. I had been googling for a solution for this issue for several months now and no luck at all and would really appreciate if any experts in this forum could answer to this issue. Thanks!
FYI, I personally don't think it's the hardware's problem as it worked well with the original official Rom (6.1). The problem only emerged when I flashed with any Custom Roms.
The problem occurred not long time ago.
When i press on call button in thouchflo 3d People tab it does not start a call, but opens up call history.
Device: HTC Fuze (aka Touch Pro/Raphael)
ROM: 5.11.502.2 WW
Radio: 1.14.25.35
SOLVED
After uninstalling SensorScroll v0.7.1 phone start act normally.
I'll try to find the solution to that in Sensor Scroll thread.

I've noticed that the calibration of the navpad can be a bit sensitive. Say if you swipe across it, it can throw it off, and make the buttons not work the way they're suppose to, this is because the 4 nav buttons are sign by where your finger is on the pad. I've tried a hard reset, and this happens a few time. opening the screen or locking/unlocking seems to reset it to work normally.
hey guys, i noticed today that sometimes when i press the home button to wake the phone it doesnt react...when i press it again it works normally....this happened to me two times....did anyone see this?
That sounds like a hardware issue. The home button synthesize sensor must not be recognizing the pressure you are applying to the button. Did this happen after a software update?
I'm having the same issue with the home button being super spotty and straight not registering when I push the home button. This is super irritating. I constantly have to press the button and sit like an idiot while it does nothing, then press again.

i only noticed this today...and yes 2 days ago i have done an OTA update....
I have a Verizon version running 5.0.2
i tried now to see if this is happening when i am pressing the sides of the home button...and yes...it looks like sometimes i press the sides thats why it doesnt work....but the thing is my home button is a bit loose...so its easy to hit the sides...
I had the S4 and the Note 3. Never had a problem. If I press the button and it clicks it should work.

Hmm that could be a number of things. It could be the hardware. It could be the update that you've installed that is causing wake lock on the device. Since your phone is covered by the one year limited warranty, I think you should contact Samsung and request an exchange/replacement. You can, however, try a factory reset to see if the wake lock problem goes away.
Ok I've been able to replicate the problem 100% if I choose. It is most definitely a hardware problem. If the home button is pressed on the left corner of the button it fully depresses and even clicks. But it doesn't register as so.
Definitely a hardware issue.
My phone had this issue as well where it wouldnt register soft clicks or off center taps and I would regularly get missed presses when using the phone (unless I pressed the button hard). I had verizon send me a replacement. The new phone just showed up, and the home button works almost perfectly. I can still get it to not register if I try really hard to push extremely lightly, on the very edge of the button with my finger nail, but its easily 100x better than the previous one.
The new button is also almost silent while the old one made kind of a cheap plastic click sound like it rattled slightly. It also feels like it requires a tad less force to press than the old button. The old button I could easily recreate the issue 100% of the time by just pressing lightly or pressing off center and it would regularly bother me while using the phone.

Here is a "solution" that has worked for me. My S6 is the Verizon variant, but I think these steps will work on any Service Provider.
Settings > Accessibility > Dexterity and interaction > Assistant menu
From here, toggle the switch to "ON". This will create a hovering circle with a window with four panes inside it. If you interactive with the hovering circle it will open a new window in which you have access to the back and recent apps buttons via an onscreen button.
Not sure what has disabled the hardware buttons, but this should give you access via onscreen software.
I know it's not a true fix, but a work around.
If someone finds a true fix, please post it! But in the meantime ...
I hope this helps!
Hello,
I had a S6 and after 4 days I noticed loose home button: it made noise the tap on it (not press). And also didn't registered clicks on the left side.
I exchange it for another and this one is almost perfect. I notice the left side of the butto to be a bit pressed. Anyway, I suspect a harware issue.
Lollipop 5.1.1
This video worked for my GS6

My home button stopped working all together right after an update. How can I remove this issue? Every thing else works perfectly. Please help!
I have issues with my home button as well, it's "loose" and rattling. It has always been a bit loose but the last few months it has gotten worse and worse, it started to require more and more pressure to register the press (way beyond the pressure needed for it to *click*). As of now it does not even work at all, no matter how hard I try pressing it.
I've tried the assistant menu that's mentioned here in the thread but I just find the menu annoying. Instead I have learned to live with it for the time being, I just multitask to instagram or facebook and then spam the back button until I'm back at home.
100% hardware issue.
Apparently it's possible to replace the home button, and there are replacement home button to buy from ebay, but the replacement procedure is ridiculuos. The home button is basically the last thing you will demount from the phone when disassembling it.
I found a temporary fix by dabbing the home button with Isopropyl, this made it like new again. But two days later it's back to as it was before, or maybe even worse.
Annoying as hell, especially since this is a result of poor quality control from Samsung.
Update: Found a nice little app on play store called "button remapper" which lets me rebind the default system buttons without requiring root, i have rebinded the "recent apps" button to act as a home button instead, and a long press opens the regular "recent apps". Seems to be an alright workaround.
Just go to samsung shop,let them see,if no exchange or replace or fix, take their demo phones like s8 (2017) throw on to the floor and then take any phone u want, leave the s6 phone alone (make sure it is factory reseted).Ran away and shout #ALLAHUAKBAR!
