Hey,
A few days ago my G2X started acting pretty weird. It keeps going back to the home screen, or to an in app menu on it's own. So I'll be in the app drawer, and all the sudden it will close back to the home screen. Or I'm playing FieldRunnersHD, and the game just closes out to the home screen (as if I pressed the home button). Or if I'm playing AngryBirds it will go to the pause screen (as if I pressed the back button). Or if I'm playing Hex Defense it will go to the menu (also as if I pressed the back button). It happens about once every 2-3 minutes. I am running rooted stock and very confused. I'll I've tried is restarting the phone, I've got no idea what else to try. Anybody have any ideas?
[Q] G2x constantly going Back or to Home Screen. Any ideas?
Have you tried to do a master reset and then re-root the phone? Usually that will do the trick but even I'm kinda still getting used to the G2X. It worked for me.
It suddenly started happening to me as well but its only when I'm using the browser. I'm unrooted so I'm sure rooting is not the issue..

Anybody experiencing the "quick search" box coming up at random. I've had this issue since flashing to JH7 (both the unofficial samfirmwares version and 'real' version).
It literally goes crazy, goes to the quick search screen and blinks like 5 times, then stays on the quick search screen, until i press back.
I had this problem with the home button on JF6 and it went away in JH3 but now appears to be back for me in JH7
Ever since I left stock my search screen randomly pops up. I truly can't find a pattern. I used to think I was accidentally hitting it but I've seen the search screen pop up while the phone was just sitting there while plugged into the computer.
I've gone days without it happening and I've seen it happen multiple times within a day. It's very odd and bothersome!
I have the problem as well and I'm not rooted so I think its just a issue with or without root

I think it's a hardware issue.
First phone I got, has this problem with "home" button, sometimes 10-15 times/minute. Changed after 2 weeks, home button is fine but "search" button coming up at random, and also has random shut down issue (4 shut downs within a hour). Changed again, now this phone is perfect, no shut down anymore, no search button issue.
BTW, all three phones run stock rom, not rooted, update to JH7 yesterday and so far no problem at all.
i'm the OP, and now it happens less than it was before. haven't changed ROMs--been running Cog 2.2 Beta 7, but this has been happening ever since JH7.
i notice it gets super crazy when using the stock browser. what i've done is seriously press it manually very hard when it happens, until it goes to voice search. then do it again and again. thinking maybe the button is stuck down there.
My back button is freaking out. It randomly presses and it sucks. I can't do much of anything on my phone because of it. Started happening last night and has lasted all through the day doing the same thing. Open an app and use it for a few seconds then it hammers the back button. (Or long presses it.) Doesn't matter which app, and sometimes no app, just the main screen.
Why is this happening? It had been working great. When I was on 2.3.2 it happened a couple of times and then quit. Now it won't stop. I've cleaned the screen several times. Wash my hands like crazy. Reboot, pulled battery...
happened to me after i restored apps with mybackup. i don't know if it was a specific app or something to do with mybackup. couldnt be bothered finding which app it was, so just factory reset to fix it.

I've seen that thread and tried to tighten screws but none were loose. I hoped to not reset...
The model working at The best buy store here has this issue bad. The back button simple doesn't work unless pressed extremely hard, enough to almost break the phone. The other 3 buttons work just fine though.
My back button is also less sensitive than the other buttons.
I can even use the phone with gloves, only the back button doesn't work.
I found one thread that said to turn off animation. I did but it didn't stop. It did seem to slow it down. Now it seems to have stopped for today.
i had this issue with my home button. it's a hardware issue not caused by any apps you've downloaded. you're going to have to call samsung and have them fix yours unfortunately. they won't send out a new one they require you to send yours in for repair and for them to ship it back out to you =/
my 1st ns had problem with back button with my second ns back button works great
I have a evo which I had rooted and left everything stock on.Suddenly the down volume button wants to engage at any given time and for extended periods of time...in call,while on home screen,when the screens off...doesnt matter engages volume down and doesnt stop..
So I thought maybe unrevoked wasnt installed so clean,since this happened the first time soon after rooting.I hoped totally wiping the phone(caulkins) would fix this button issue,which is HELL in the bootloader....AFter a full wipe and stable cyanogen7 all seemed well! the problem was gone...So I figured cool,must been some software issue.Now its back a week later,I walkd in room to see screen on battery drained and phone just vibrating away.
So I switched to armons recovery,wiped dalviks and caches...no luck so I decided I would remap the key.I got a remapping app and it didnt have a way to DISABLE the key only remapp it to another function.Needless to say any such function being pushed 100 times a minute isnt much a fix.I tried a volume blocker app which just popped up every ten seconds asking if i confirm the volume change....
I am debating on opening the phone up and seeing if its a physically stuck key...However due to the fact that I can make it happen by turning screen off then on to me says its not an actual hardware button issue...
I have an evo I use for cellular service...which I dont much mess with,this one is wifi only and running cyanogen7 and latest godmode kernel...its weird how it worked great for a week never a problem and now Im stuck in a scrolling out of control bootloader...because when i powered off lol the down button engaged while turning back on....very frustrating...
Can I DISABLE this key?
I have the same exact problem. My phone boots to HBOOT but I can't push the volume buttons to select nor can I push the power button. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Every since the OTA update, whenever I'm in an app and I press the home screen to get back to my home, the screen goes white and shows the green htc logo. After that, for about 15 seconds, I see my apps on my home screen but I get the loading message. When its done with the loading screen, sense is ok again until I go into another app and I press home and the process repeats. Is anyone else having this problem and if so how do you'd fix it?

The update stopped mine from doing this. master reset is prob the going to fix it.
Mine does it too after the update. I figured that it was putting sense to sleep to conserve energy.

Mine used to do it after I played Plants vs. Zombies and still does, and now it also does it after using Netflix.
a hard reset fixed it guys. thanks.
Tried the factory reset, but still remain the same. just installed 12 app (no games) all in internal storage, but still remain problem. Need help! Thanks!
My Nexus 5 has been experiencing this issue for months now. It happens in all apps (especially Facebook, WhatsApp and Jeffit). I press the back button and it freezes, meaning I can't press anything other than the home button to exit the app. This will then repeat itself time and time again until I eventually turn the phone on and off. This will solve the issue for a few minutes until it starts again.
I tried factory reset and it was fine for a short while and then began again. I've tried to see what app it could be, but from Google searches it seems like other people have it too and no one has a solution? There didn't seem to be a thread on it on XDA so wanted to see if anyone has managed to fix it?
I haven't got anything custom on my phone and it isn't rooted. It's so frustrating and it's ruining and otherwise flawless experience with the Nexus 5. I'm pretty sure it started after the Kit Kat update.
