is this a known issue? software or hardware?
my back button lights up partially (around the arrow) and is not responsive. this has happened twice in the past week. i have noticed that other samsung devices have this issue on the forum. does anyone else have the back button issue on the nexus s?
Mine doesn't do that. That could be a hardware problem. If so, use your warranty.
But check first if it's software. Did you flash a rom? Kernel maybe? Your apps? Try a fresh flash of stock rom.

I did the factory reset.
The issue has not yet been resolved.
I did catch the key issue on video a couple of times.
I've seen that a few times. Just press it harder than usual a few times and give it a few taps to shake the inside touch sensor. I fixed mine and friend's this way.

Mine does it all the damn time. Even when I was on stock unrooted :/

Mine never did this. You guys should get Samsung to replace your phones.

Hey, so I got my nexus s a few days ago and love it, how ever I've been having some problems with it.
Randomly the soft buttons on the phone, mainly the search key stars pressing its self. As in I'm not touching the phone but the button is being pressed.
I'm running cm7, don't really think its a rom thing but any help would be great.

I have the same problem with my Home button. Drives me crazy!

That used to happen to mine too, I found that by booting into recovery and wiping data and wiping cache and dalvik cache fixed that problem.
Give it a try and let me know if it also works for you guys.

Long thread on it at google support. If you have an I9020a, then it's a known "bug". it is associated to the modem and only happens when on 3G

Maybe put it back to stock and exchange it for a new one. Tell them the phone is defective.
Ive flashed the older radio and it seemed to help, do I still have warrenty if I got the phone from the U.S.?

The problem exists I the kb2 modem also though not has bad.
The warranty is not good across the border your will ned to ship it to the US then have it serviced from there. Pointless in my opinion since it is a software problem.

Hello guys I was wondering if anybody else is having this problem, sometimes when I press the back key on my att nexus s it freezes for a couple of secs then it goes back to normal, it won't matter what I am doing it could be anything from visiting the marketplace to browsing the web its really annoying me a lot at this point.
If you know anyway how to fix this issue please let me know thanks.
I have the same problem, but it also happens with my menu and search keys. The individual backlight will dim and the phone freezes for 4-7 sec.

Not having this issue.

Is the phone freezing or is just the back key randomly not responding to touch? If its the latter, then you need to do an exchange. Common problem.
I used to have this issue but it eventually went away. It happened after they replaced my screen.
I used to have this and assumed it was a hardware thing, changing roms sorted it.
I have no idea why this is the case and when someone else said as much I thought it couldn't be the case but I'd suggest you flash a different ROM and see how you get on.
I have this problem also. Mine will go dark and exit out of anything I'm doing as if I was pressing it. Gets old sometimes

I started getting this about two months into the life of my Nexus. In the process of exchanging mine now in the hours that I get an unaffected unit.

My first one did this constantly so I exchanged it and so far so good with the new one.
Looks like a bad batch of ns4g's went out. Mine is doing this too. Not very ofter but enough that I notice it.

Actually it affects all Nexus S models. I think it is touch panel driver bug.

My phone sometime the lower portion becomes unresponsive and sometimes when in an app I can no longer scroll down it only allows scrolling left and right: even in apps like Gmail.
I'm using stock ROM, I'm tested the issue with several kernels but no result. The problem gods away when I lock the screen and unlock I again.

I have the exact same problem. Been trying different ROM:s and it's the same on everyone. I believe it's a hardware problem.

Yeah, how do I manage it?
Flash a different kernel. Glados, Matrix, Franco or stock.
Is this issue confirmed on everyone's device? I feel like calling up Samsung if it is indeed a hardware issue.
Anyone else confirm your screen gets erroneous and unresponsive on certain kernels?

This happens to me at completely stock.
Did you buy your device new? Is this a hardware defect? Can anyone confirm this happened on Gingerbread?

Same issue while on stock GB and ICS, stock kernel. Problem goes away when screen is locked.
On average it bugs me a few times a week when I'm typing. Might have happened many more times, but as locking the screen clears the problem away, it could have gone undetected.
Weird never experienced on my nexus s i've tried GB .. ICS and a whole bunch of ROM+ KERNEL combination my screen works perfect maybe it's only affecting a particular bunch of hand sets .. idk? :/
it happens to me every now and then, usually while typing. generally i have to turn it off completely to fix it, which really sucks.
GB 2.3.7 and whatever the last GB matrix kernal. nothing running over or under.
Ya I have the same issue but for be it only happens when I plug in a USB or auxiliary cable ..oddly not my headphones (klipsch s4)
I've been debating calling into Samsung but haven't had time! Has anyone had luck!?
Edit: I'm running stock 2.3.6 i9020a

Hi guys I recently got my nexus s and started fooling around with it and I've noticed the very bottom of my screen doesnt respond to touch and while its a relatively minor problem it means I often miss type words. I am on rooted stock but have tried apex with matrix.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA
Restore your stock back up and see what happens. If it still happens, return your phone.
_______________
Just Flash It !!!
There is a touchscreen tester built into ICS Developer options. If there is no response at all after a quick test, try going back to gingerbread or something along those lines, with a full wipe in between. If there is still no response it's most likely a hardware issue. You'll have to either live with it or give samsung a ring (or possibly replace the entire screen and try your luck).
Same issue with gb and I've read about these problems before so I'm not the only one

any follow-up to this? what did it turn out to be?
this happened to me intermittently, recently. however, it seems to be a permanent thing now...
It can happen if you are not using original charger. Or touch dies. It could be kernel related too, but if you are on stock one and got this.. I would say it needs repair.

Anybody else have this issue? It's as if its very sensitive too. I can barely touch the power button and my phone screen will shut off, but immediately come back on. Also if you actually press the button, the screen will shut off than come back on. Anyone else have this kind of issue?
Yeah this happened to mine just two days ago. I ended up pulling the button off entirely and using the phone without it. Super frustrating.
Power button failure is a common known issue with S3 devices. Take it back in most cases they replace the device.
