[Q] My search button keeps randomly getting stuck. - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My search button gets stuck and asks me what i want to search and then the light on the button turns off, I have to lock and then unlock to fix. It just started happening 3 days ago. Flashed other roms and still the same issue. I'm currently using latest nightly with netarchy 1.3.7 universal kernel. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ryan

Is this normal??

When I unlock my phone and swipe to the next screen it is unresponsive and have to take several swipes sometimes before the phone wakes up and goes to the next screen.

Doesn't sound very 'normal' to me.
What was the last change you made?
To answer your question......no...

This is not normal. A few questions for you though:
1. Did you root your phone or mod it in any other way?
2. Are you using an alternative launcher?
3. If a third-party app is causing this, it may be hard to diagnose. Could you go into Settings > About phone > Battery use and list the apps and usage numbers? This could provide some leads.
Had this problem with a non-standard background-picture and 3d wallpaper.
(not rooted/unlocked 2.3.4)
I opened thread abou tuning touchscreen, if you still on 2.3.3 u can use modified netarchy kernel fixing this issue.

This kernel works great with cm7.02.
Not working with 2.3.4

Thank you guys!
OK so I notice that this happens sometimes when I use heavy wallpapers. So switched to lower size wallpapers and is doing the trick.
My phone is not rooted. I want to root it and customize it so bad but I'm afraid to brick my phone.

You guys are great!!! Thanks again!! Would love to have cm7 on my phone.... Hey anyone from NYC want to meet up and hook up my phone lol!!

GPS not locking

GPS no longer locks after flashing black ice. Should I be using the old original GPS fix? BTW...best ROM ever...Krylon/Team Whiskey rocks!!!

I'm actually having this problem as well with bionix frost. Everything else works flawlessly.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
I think I'm gonna apply the old fix later and it should work ok. I'll post the result regardless.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA Premium App
I applied the sgstools fix, enabled the gps, but nav still would not lock on. So I opened maps, let it find my location and settle in until it was accurate, the opened up navigation and it worked fine... No more "Searching for GPS"
Might work for you also...and it's an easy fix.

I see that other people in the black ice thread are having the same problem but I can't share your fix with them as I don't have enough posts for permission in the developer theads...would you share this with them? Thanks again

i searched for sgs tools on the market and it only came up with the capitavate sgs tools. is this the program which you guys are using?
That is correct
Sent from my Galaxy S 4G
Hmm. This fix worked for a few minutes, but when I restart the phone, no more gps lock/navigation. Weird. Thanks for the info.

i followed the instructions using launcher pro and set it to "auto" and it seemed to work. i still have to wait a while to get a lock sometimes, but thats tmobiles fault. they suck in my area. hope this helps anyone else having this problem.
EDIT: It only works once. does anyone else have the locking problem for bionix frost? i can try to reflash my phone and see if that fixes it.

xda app restarts when I press the back button

Ever since I updated to ics no matter what ics rom it is when I press the back button the app exits back to my launcher. I've reflashed/clean installed roms and still the same thing.
Is anybody else experiencing this or found a fix around this?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
Mine was doing this too. I went into developer options and un-checked "Don't keep activities" and it seems to work fine now.
Give that a shot.
Sent for my bathroom, with toilet paper.
OK thanXx

[Q] multitouch problems?

I'm running seans SKYICS 12.5
I used to use alot of emulators, such as gameboid. And I never had a problem playing games like super marios world. But now I can't seem to hold in A to run, and the D pad to move at the same time so I can actually run. Any suggestions on how to fix this? With using the emulator and noticing that problem, I'm now seeing it elsewhere, like when I type on the keyboard. I recently switched to swiftkey over swype and I thought it was just the new keyboard wasn't as quick as swype.. So I switched back to swype for a minute and it seems to be a multi touch problem..

I would try going to the latest update, I'm running the 13ish update with no multi touch problems.

Would that wipe me? I'm at work for another half a day..
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
Its a non wipe update just clear cache, install zip and reboot let cache build up and fix permissions.
Here's the thread with exact instructions and download link.

Are you sure? I read the change log and it says he's on base 5 now.. I'm on base 4 with update 12.5
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
You can update without base 5 several people have done it and confirmed its working fine, just update as usual. If you want his new base you could always flash, the only downside is if you update base you need to wipe, Happy flashing.

I just updated. Problem persists. I guess I should rephrase. Multitouch works, but not very well. Like I have a delay before what I'm second pressing will kick in. It might as well not work. Idk. I never had this problem on GB. Might be a ICS thing since seans roms are basically perfect.

I can't find any settings to mess with the touch input. Probably has something to do with sensitivity and such.

Netflix app not streaming on 4G

So I started a Netflix account last night on my PC it works fine but when I try to stream it on my phone I get an error saying we could not connect to the Netflix service try again later ( some other unimportant stuff ) then error code 12001. I called Netflix and the girl I spoke with said it was an issue with Samsung devices after the newest update. I'm currently running synergy nightly builds the 9/5/2012 build. Was wondering before I revert back to stock if anyone else was having this issue or any at All?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Im pretty sure after the latest update it only streams on wifi.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the reply she mentioned something similar to this but not those exact words. What if I download an older apk? Unless its going to prompt me to automatically update the app if that's the case I'll just cancel and use some other service any recommendations?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Actually I think I was wrong before. The update added a wifi only toggle in settings.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
The newest Netflix is working fine on both of my Droid Charge and Galaxy S3. The issue is with your phone. It also works fine on my Asus tf700 (wifi and tethering through 4G).
OK can't decide if I want to switch ROMs or just use hulu decisions decisions

Im on synergy 1.7 and use netflix on 4g with no issues ever. Besides draining my batt insanely
