Back button has a mind of its own

Title says it.
Doesn't matter what I'm doing, any app, any time, it will randomly vibrate and go back as if I hit the back button.
It seems to happen especially when I tap something.
Ex. On the xda android app, I tap into a thread, loads up, I feel my phone vibrate and it goes back.
Its really frustrating. I never noticed it until I started flashing roms. I always flash back to stock & wipe data bla bla bla so I know I'm not doing anything wrong there.
Anyone?

It might be a malfunctioning button. I had a similar issue with my home button where the phone would go nuts at random times with the screens switching back and forth. It's pretty rare, but when it happens it's usually hardware related.

Well that's just wonderful. Aka I'm screwed.

How are you screwed? Backup with TiBu, flash back to stock w/ ODIN and take it to a AT&T repair center and they can swap you out with another device.

I got this on upgrade through Amazon. At&t wont swap it unless I got it through them. Only way I can do it is through Amazon and my 30 days are already up so Idk how that would work...

Not true. I bought my Captivate from Radioshack and the AT&T warranty center replaced the phone for me w/o any issues. As long as you did not buy it from a guy who found it when it fell-from-the-truck, it should be fine.

what if its past the 30 days? and do i need my receipt from Amazon or anything like that?

Mine also does this, instead I've noticed it does it with the home button. Mine causes it to trigger the search button. I've noticed since I've switched to Froyo though that the problem doesn't occur as often, but it still does it probably once or twice a day.

What ROM are you running? I am having the same issues, but I have it with both the back AND the Home buttons. It seemed to not be as bad with the Stock JF6

I've went to the AT&T Warranty Center with a phone that refused to turn on/charge/etc.
All they asked of me was my phone number. They checked the phone out, etc. and gave me another one.

I think I might have figured it out. I work in a warehouse in Spokane Washington and right now its colder than tits out. Might be the phone getting to cold. Ill know after today n ill let you guys know
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

Mine does it in a warm room, outside, freakin anywhere. BUT I did switch from stock JF6, off of a Vibrant ROM. It hasn't happened once today.
I also found out that as far as the repair centers go, if you get a new device you are VERY lucky. Most of the time you are going to get a referbished item. They go in range from the 1006-1010 phones.

I've got the same problem going on with my captivate. I tried a couple different ROM's to see if it had any effect. It was happening on Perception build 4, Axura RC1, and on stock. I'm guessing it's a hardware issue, but if someone's found a solution, please keep us updated!

I have the same problem but with the search button. It happens everywhere, but the other night it was freezing so i was sitting next to a space heater and it really wigged out.

You might try this.
Okay guys---first post after lurking and learning for awhile. Try not to ROFL with this suggestion. I've owned my captivate for a bit over a month. Before ever turning it on I put a high-priced screen protector in place. Immediately I was plagued with the problem of the buttons doing things without asking. Press the home button and get search, vice versa and every possible combination. Took it back to the phone shop and this 15-year old looking sales guy took one look and asked if I minded if he trimmed a quarter of an inch off the bottom of the screen protector. I said no and in five minutes I left with a captivate that no longer mis-fires with every touch. Now, I suppose you guys with this problem don't even have a screen protector in place.
FishDoc

I have a screen protector and I've considered that being the problem. Haven't used my phone much today so I haven't really noticed it but it has happened a few times...especially in the xda app. Ugh this phone is gonna be the death of me

Should not matter. I was past 30 days. I would've returned the phone and avoided the hassle if it was in 30 days. Surprisingly it took me less than 5 minutes to get a replacement phone in the warranty center.
All they asked me was the phone number of the account and name on the account and my ID to confirm that I was the owner of the phone. No receipt was asked.

I found out from the service center in my area. 0-30 days, brand new phone. 31 days-1 year, most likely a referb phone, but you could get lucky and get a new one. Over 1 year you're SOL.
I have a 1007, and was offered a 1008. The ranges run from 1006-1010, 1010 being the newest batch, and I of course was going for a 1010. I decided to skip the 1008, and wait to see if they got any new shipments in.
I'd been have tons of problems with the buttons on mine, the Home and Back were mental! I went back to stock JF6, I only had a couple random presses of the back button. Right now I'm running Assonance 2.0, it's i9000JK3 based and Modem. Not a single random pressed all day today. I had pretty heavy use today

so i did some tweaking on my phone and i think it's fixed, at least for now. i found that the stock jf6 rom had the most issues with it, so i flashed jh3. from there, i flashed up to perception7, and i haven't had the issue again yet.

[Q] Users on the GB update, any random reboots?

Users that updated their G2X to V21E, you getting any random reboots or freezing? Please report in this post. Thanks!

Nope not yet and seem overall faster, but only time will tell.

Is Wifi fixed?

Yea, the true test will be a couple of days of uptime...

Been only a few hours guys. Take a day or 2 to test this out. Battery, WIFI, GPS, Reboots...etc

None so far... but the true test is when it's on my charger at night. So we will see...

None so far. Definitely noticeable increase in speed. No wifi or GPS issues yet either. Only bug so far is the 4g and signal status not switching to green indicating network connection to Google. Does on my N1.

I will be flashing back to 2.2. I never had a single reboot in the 4 months I've had the phone and now in 3 hours since I have updated, the phone has rebooted 4 times and froze twice. Also, my GPS would lock in 10 seconds with 20 feet of accuracy and now its taking a couple minutes to lock with 100 feet of accuracy. I really hope this isn't the finished product.

Your crazy. ;-)
Is your phone set to Max brightness or is it on auto? If its on auto, I bet LG reprogrammed the code to dim the backlight more than it was before so people don't notice it as much. Mine has always been minimal but its still the same at max brightness. A software update ain't going to fix a hardware issue.

OK, JR and I disagree more than we agree, and I'm sure he can defend himself but:
- claims to love the phone
He talks positively about aspects of it.
-the next day he hates it
He talks negatively about aspects of it.
-next day he says he is leaving the forum because he is selling it
He kept it because he got it free from T-Mobile and it does some things better than the Sensation.
-next day he is complaining that he is keeping it because he can not sell it, next day he is whining that he never has had a problem with the phone
I don't know where you pulled this from but it doesn't sound like JR
-next day he is complaining that GB is never coming
So?
-next day he is saying the G2x is being recalled and will never be sold on T-mobile again
Lots of rumors about this. JR tends to quote from a source though.
-next day he is saying he just updated to GB but it sucks so he is going to need to remove it
Too early to tell if others are going to experience the same thing.
Tom, you're the one that still believes the phone's not for sale on tmobile.com because it's so popular. You're no stranger to sharing and defending unique opinions so it's odd you chose to single out JR. You've gone after me too. I come here to hear different opinions. I can figure out which one's to believe without a self-appointed moderator telling me.

New G2x black freeze

Hey everyone I just bought a g2x and it seemed to be OK until everytime I charge it wont wake up and its hot as hell!! I have to battery pull. Last night I had it charging and in the morn the phone would not wake and was baking like it was in the oven. I rooted but still seem to have the problem with all rom's. After scouring the forums I've seen some people return there's and get an up to date model which fixes the problem. Other threads say its the battery at fault. Since I bought it straight up I can't call T-Mobile for exchange so what can I do? Are there any ways I can stop this from happening? Thanks guys for looking at my post.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk

If it is getting that hot there is a serious problem with the battery or the phone. Contact TMO and get a replacement. If you bought from a third party source get them to replace your defective device. Are you using the official battery? After market batteries often have bad temp sensors and can cause dangerous issues such as this. If the battery gets too hot it can actually explode.

I bough it new from a third party at a high price. They said they will not take it back. Anything that is wrong with the phone its not their fault nor problem. Can't contact T-Mobile since i didn't get it through them and I'm on a different carrier because i had the phone sim unlocked.
Update though the only Roman which been running perfect no freezes or reboot is eagle blood froyo. Stable and fast rom but I'm dying for gingerbread. All Ginger roms give me problems. BTW I'm using battery that came with phone not third party.

I don't have tmobile contract. I use simple mobile 4g service which is 60 dollars a month. They won't honor me. I was thinking of calling LG support but I don't think that will go anywhere.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk

Try a new battery. If that doesn't solve the problem contact LG USA support. Don't mention you are not a TMO customer or that you bought it second hand (warranty is to the original purchaser only - technically second hand devices have no warranty). If you don't have proof of purchase they might honor the warranty based on 18 months from the date of manufacture. Play as stupid as you can and see if they let you send it in for repair or replacement. They don't do advance exchanges so you will be without the phone for about a month.

No luck with LG support. The only thing I have left is trying a new battery. Right now I'm fine on Eagles Blood froyo rom but any other rom i get overheating and reboots/freezes. Idk why is that.
Sent from my LG-P999 using Tapatalk

I remember when I had the same issue you have... "charge over night, wake up and phone was very hot and the buttons light up but nothing was on screen"... I tried all the rom there is for g2x, best for me is cm7 nightly builds. No issue what so ever after flashing it. Cm7 Nightly 179

I just found a gingerbread Tom that was posted not too long ago that fixes all the screen of death issues and reboots. Jboxer ported it from another LG L95G (tracfone) that has the same hardware as the g2x. I've been running it and it is flawless. The only bad side is its stock. But ill take performance over everything else. Its gingerbread 2.3.4.
Im nit android saavy but im thinking LG messed up somewhere in the software. A bug that should have been noticed by them.

I too am having reboot issues with my Thunderbolt. Along with the loose USB port, I might just have to get a replacement. Did you take it into a store to have them look at it or did they troubleshoot it over the phone?

Just call no one in the store knows their @$$ from a hole in the ground. If you've had multiple problems and are done with the phone ask to speak to a escalation Rep. If not just tell them make sure you're on the latest update before talking to them or they'll tell you that fixes it. Also they might try a hard or soft reset if you've tried that let them know. This was my fifth bolt so they didn't even ask just offered the bionic, charge, some LG phone, and the rezound so I took the obvious choice.

Just got off the phone with Verizon; they're sending me a Rezound as a replacement as well. Called technical support because my phone was rebooting randomly, and the agent said that since this was my fourth Thunderbolt, they're going to switch it out with a different model. Choice was between the Rezound and the LG Spectrum.

Just did my call in as well.. Fortunately they were sympathetic after seeing note after note with replacement devices..

The nice lady on the other end at tech support didn't even blink when I asked for the rezound as a replacement. She asked if I'd like an extended battery with that? Said yes please

Yes as long as you buy it from an authorized dealer which Best Buy is and are still under the 1 year warranty. (also of note, they generally don't replace phones with a different model unless you have had several replacements already)

Out of curiosity when they sent you the Rezound did you get the Beats headphones/battery/back cover?
When they did a phone replacement last summer for my wife's fascinate to a DINC2 they only sent the phone with no charger or battery or battery back plate since it was a warranty phone exchange.

vzw has replaced my wife's tbolt 3 times now. definitely considering this route.

No headphones asked for a bettety and gave me an extra battery cover

I generally just live with the random reboots since it is not that much of a horrible issue. But do you think they would replace my phone with a Rezound even I did not report previous issues. Like the text problem and the rebooting problem that is the current issue with the TBolt? Just kinda want the Rezound since it came out. Very pretty phoen

I am also wondering this. I have had the T-Bolt since last may and have dealt with the rebooting and text problems because I didn't want to go through the process of calling and getting a replacement. After reading this thread I really want to try and call for a rezound upgrade, but I have never called previously or had a previous replacement so IDK if it will work. I will post again if I do try it.

No I tried on my third and fourth and they said no so its for people whohavehad multiple complaints from my experience but it wouldn't hurt to try I guess. It also has to do with who you get when you call. From my calls be nice to them if you get upset or angry they don't want to help you out.

I have had this phone since it came out and I love it, I have had no issues at all. Every phone comes out has some bad apples (pun intended). but this phone is a great phone in my opinion. I hope the third one will change your opinion on the phone cause it has treated me well. As a final note I have used odin and cwm and all kinds of different roms, kernels, updates, themes, and everything with no problems

Every problem I have had with this phone has been fixed by software updates except for the weak signal reception, but i guess that is what you get when you buy Samsung.

I've enjoyed the phone except for one problem. I'm calling Verizon tonight to maybe get a replacement. On more then half of long phone calls that are over ten minutes, the phone makes a clicking noise and then the other person can't here me anymore. Happens daily.

I think the key statement of the Op is "different phone". I too am on the 4th CLN charge for the clicking and popping on calls lasting more than 10 minutes. The irony is my current phone was perfect until the FP1 update, then the clicks started happening again. I tried to get verizon to send me a different device but was told the manufacturer has only approved them to send CLN phones out. When I asked what verizon's policy was, all I got was silence. Apparently they don't care that I spend $2200 per year for a family plan that a $200 phone can ruin. They aren't making money on handsets, it's all in the service.

Love my charge
I've had two charges, both refurbs since they offered it to me after dealing with a lot of annoying problems with my fascinate. The first one was great, had a bit of a static issue on phone calls but easily dealable, but my usb controller crapped out after about three months so I could no longer flash anything through odin (which is simply unacceptable to me). VZ sent me a replacement and after customizing it and getting the latest software I have not had a single problem since, no static issues on calls, and ridiculously good reception even in my bunker of a house. Hands down my favorite phone I've ever owned.

Static, static, and more static. Even with the last update. I can deal with it, because it's my work phone, and almost always use bluetooth.

When I talk on the phone with my gf (the only time I talk with anybody for more than 5 minutes), she says she hears the clicking and then I disappear. I can hear her, but she can't hear me. It's been happening as long as I can remember, so I went back to stock and took all the updates. Not rooted at the moment, and if the call problem happens one more time I'm buying the Nexus.

As long as you have the warranty on your phone you can get as many refurbs as you like. Or you can request for a new phone from Verizon if your tired of having problems out of your phone. I started with a Driod 2. From there: Droid X, iPhone 4 ( black 8gb), Droid X2, LG Revolution, Droid Bionic, Droid Charge, Samsung Stratosphere, then funny enough back to the Droid Charge. This is all the phones they have sent me during my two year contract which ends this September. So this comes to show that if you have an issue with your phone verizon as all about customer satisfaction. So if your unhappy with your phone just complain. They will set things straight. And in case anybody is wondering I just like to play and mod different phones. Was really regretting getting rid of the iPhone 4 but Tweaked v2.0 rom by dwitherell has really made me happy to be a Charge owner. The rom is super stable and super quick. No lockups or lag. And the theme is just beautiful.

InfinityROM by imnuts is another rom that will make your Phone run better (if you can handle all the hotboots). If only dwitherell could add the TouchWiz 4 launcher from Infinity to Tweaked v2.0 I'd be in heaven!
