Back button issues. - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Sorry if this has been posted before but I'm having issues with the "back button" pressing itself. I would be in an app and my back button will suddenly press itself. Is anyone else having this issue or I just have a defective phone?
If this is common is there a way I could fix it?

Fixing power button?

I'm having the common issue with the power button not waking the phone properly and it seems to be a hardware issue.
Can anyone recommend a DIY fix?

[Q] Power button bypass?

The other day my infuse's power button started dying, apparently i have bad luck with samsung buttons as my captivate's power button broke on me too. It started out just randomly lighting up as if it were touched, then moved on to rebooting, and now it just continuously plays the samsung logo over and over again, even when trying to go into recovery mode. Even with the plastic phone shell off, the problem persisted, so the plastic power button itself i know is not the issue.
I'm wondering if anyone knows of any possible way to render the power button useless, and remap one of the volume keys or something as the power key instead.
Any suggestions would be GREATLY appreciated, I really don't want to have to pay samsung to repair it.
There's an app called button remapper or something along those lines. But I believe it will kill any other function that the volume button does, like volume control. If you don't use it for that purpose, then try it out.

[Q] About that broken power button. How to repair the hardware problem?

Hello there.
I finished in a problem that seems to happen quite often.
My power button does not respond anymore.
I have been deeling since yesterday with it thanks to this thread.
But now i have the phone in a bootloop thanks to a damaged ROM file...
- i can get to bootloader but power and volume keys do not respond,
like the power button is stuck being pressed, and adb does not see the device
- nothing else works.
I have to leave tomorrow for another country, so i am asking here for a quick solution.
Did anyone managed on his own to fix the problem which seems to be hardware?
Can anyone post a video or photos on how to open the Nexus and what to do to fix the button, or is it something that only the samsung service can deal with?

Bug report on power button?

Anyone else get this?
Every so often randomly I'll press the power button to lock the screen and nothing will happen. Press it again and it'll work with a buzz. Then a bug report pops up
Presumably for it to pop a bug report it must be a software issue?

Vol up and power button will start a big reporting

Home button / Power button not working

This started a couple of days ago. Both power button and home button randomly stopped working. I thought it was a ROM issue, so I tried flashing another ROM (I was on stock/rooted). Tried 2 different ROMS and had the same problem with both of them. Flashing another kernel (arter kernel) didn't work, either.
I've noticed the power button works normally until I press the home button, which acts like a long-press (bringing up google now on tap or google now when I disable tap). After that, the phone doesn't recognize the power button.
I can apparently bring it back to work if I take a screenshot (home+power button combination).
Has anyone experience anything similar?
I have exactly the same problem, it seems after installing an APP. The app is already uninstalled on my phone. How did you fix it?
Thanks
