Hi!
My Nexus S sometimes doesn't react to the home-button correctly. Anyway, I don't think this is a hardware-bug, because the haptic feedback works! I touch the home-softkay and feel the haptic feedback, but nothing happens. I can repeat it, it stays the same. When I long-press it, the recent apps appear. After that I can return to the homescreen. Or I can touch the screen and tap home again - then it will work, too. Another way is tapping home several times, until it finally works.
And like I said: It's not the button, haptic feedback appears!
Anyone else with this issue?
Greetings

Never happened to me. Which launcher do you use?
Greetz
Stock Launcher. First I used CM7 with Go Launcher, but then thought it was something with CM7, so I switched back to stock 2.3.6 with stock launcher.
Seems to me like it doesn't happen that often anymore, but sometimes it still does...

I am finding my Menu button to not work when at teh default home screen, intermittently. Sometimes it doesn't work more than it does.
I thought maybe it was due to Launcher. I did a restore from one a couple back, and it was working again.
I've been working with TASKER a lot, and wonder if that could be affecting it.
I tried an uninstall of Tasker and that didn't help. Only the restore helped. But as noted, its back again.
I also had the volumne button not work earlier.
Maybe its a hardware problem.
Anyone else having this?
when I am at my default home screen my home button doesn't do anything, except vibrate. Though, I am using LauncherPro atm. The home button also doesn't do anything on my home screen in TouchWiz either...
It never did, I never thought it was supposed to do anything other than return you to the default homepage when you were away from it on the launcher.
It is the MENU button I am having problem with, not the HOME button.
The home button single click will take you to your default home screen. (I think it is changeable what it does in Launcher Pro).
I have about decided my problem is from teh latest version of Launcher Pro. I have restored to a previous version, and no problems at the moment. I actually have done this a couple times: Restored to old, worked OK, reinstalled latest, worked OK for a while and started acting up again.
this happened to my friend, after a stock reflash it worked fine...but ive read some people have to switch out their phones...
Hmmm...not sure what to do. My 30 days is up this weekend.
I am frustrated about the GPS stuff, and considering, albeit just barely, taking it back until that is resolved.
But maybe I should at least do an exchange. If I reflash and the button works (which it is working right now...I am on an older version of Launcher), then i'd have to use the GPS concerns to take it back.
Let's see: Keep it; exchange it; return it.
Decisions decisions...
I think it's the latest version of Launcher Pro that's the issue as well. I'm seeing the same exact behavior as you, and the easiest way to resolve it for me is to swipe over to a different home screen, THEN the menu button will work again for a while. I'm getting the haptic feedback when I press the menu button, but no menu popup, so it leads me to believe we're not having a hardware issue, but rather a strange bug with the latest Launcher Pro version.
Having the same issue after I installed the latest version of launcher pro. I am pretty confident that launcher pro is to blame here and not the phone hardware itself.
Someone needs to go to their forum and notify them of this problem. I don't have a userID over there.
I may try to get one set up.
I'm just pretty sure now that it is Launcher Pro. Lecmmada describes the symptoms the same as mine. If I use switcher, and switch to TouchWiz, it works fine.
[EDIT]
I registered and left a note in their bug section, and referenced this thread.
there is already a thread about this on their board. They are well aware of the issue.
Well, they have one more post on it then
Last night, my AT&T HOX discharged completely. I'm thinking it might have reset and went into a constant bootloop, but I'm only guessing. So I plugged up to the charger and let it get charged about 10% before really messing with it. So rebooting the phone led me to a "frozen" screen. At first I thought it was the Picture Password Lockscreen app so I uninstalled it. No change.
I then realized it wasn't a frozen screen (although the slow start up continue after each reboot, but the home key would not function. Menu button will function, so would the back button. Only problem was that despite having the haptic response from the keys, I couldn't get to the home screen. It was just a white screen at and the notification bar at the top. The only way I was able to get a launcher to open was due to the Play Store notification that allowed me to open my ADW launcher from the app list. I installed a home switcher, but still, could not get the home button to work. The hepatic response was back, but it would not yield going directly to ADW as my default launcher, nor select one once I cleared defaults. So I dirty flashed my ROM (Venom XL 3.2.6) and again got the slow start and the inability fort he home key to bring me to the homescreen (or the option to select). I then thought the perhaps it was an issue with the kernel, but still the same thing occurs after flashing the stock kernel. I get the haptic response and the screen does a quick flash. Nothing else.
Has anyone encountered this before or have any idea what controls this function and how to fix it?
From launcher, check your hone button settings, preferences-gesture settings. Check Home key - it should say that it is set to Show home screen. If that doesnt work check to see if in pocket detection is enabled. If it is, try disabling.

Thanks for the tip, but I couldn't get it to work. Had to end up wiping data. Thanks anyway.
I flashed the Venom ROM. Ever since then I cannot use the lock screen shortcut to the camera. I.E. holding the phone horizontally and pressing the volume button.
I have enabled all the other gestures that I want, like swipe up and down but I cant find out how to get the camera back.
Anyone else have this issue? any solution?
Second this.
It stopped working a few days after I got the phone and I'm still on the stock rom.
This started even before I rooted/S-Offed/added custom recovery to the phone.
I'm running ViperOne & it works fine for me.
I figured it out. I needed to have the AOSP lock screen.

Never mind I lost my swipe gestures when I go to aosp. when I swipe the screen vibrates but nothing happens.
Hello,
After a few days of using the phone, I installed Lightning Launcher and set it as default. I got some bugs with the lockscreen (i'll explain later) so I reverted back to the Xperia original launcher.
Now, after not using LL, I still have that same issue. I'm pretty sure it hasn't anything to do with LL or anything, but I prefer mentionning it just in case.
(tl;dr)
Whenever I press power button, it is supposed to immediately scan the fingerprint. It doesn't anymore and instead of the normal lockscreen I have a completely blank screen, only with Back and Home button.
Finger is not scanned, I can't swipe in any direction BUT, if I press the Home button, lockscreen shows up (it slides from the left side), as if I already swiped to the right.
That's pretty annoying when the purpose of fingerprint scan is to immediately unlock
Got any idea ? Somebody has the same problem maybe ?
EDIT:
Okay my bad. I uninstalled LL completely and the problem didn't show up anymore. I reinstalled because I remembered it can also be used as a lockscreen, and i disabled that in its settings. I'll check if problem continues but if not, I'll come back to inform about it.
Hi everyone,
For the past few weeks now, the Home button on my navigation bar has become less responsive, or I should say, sometimes it just doesn't work in some applications, but not always the same applications. Same for the button with the three horizontal bars (I can't remember what it's called, sorry).
The only button that works consistently is the Back button, thankfully, otherwise I'd be stuck on the same app until I turn to dust...
Is it an issue others here have experienced, and if so, how did you solve it if you did?
I seem to remember a setting that would make the touchscreen more or less receptive to inputs, but I can't find it anymore.

I switched to navigation gestures and never look to return to 3 button.

I've tried that in the past, on this phone and on others, but I don't like it. Maybe I'm too clumsy, I don't know, but for me it's hit-or-miss more often than not, so I stick to using my three buttons.
Do you know where I can find this setting on touchscreen sensitivity?
Maybe my problem comes from Microsoft Launcher after all, because I've reverted to the system launcher and so far, no worries.

Nova beta did the same to me.
Yeah, maybe that's it, but up until now MS Launcher was working fine. Strange. I'll leave things as they are for now and I'll keep you posted. Thanks and have a great weekend!
