[Q] Possessed Back Button

Hi All,
Im having a very frustrating time with my back button, this doesnt seem to be Rom or Kernal caused so im just wanting to see if it is a common Mez prob or if i might have a hardware glitch? My back button just seems to randomly start activating, no set pattern sometimes just one step sometimes several. I thought for awhile that i just had an over sensitive screen response but it will do it occasionally when im not even holding the phone. Not app dependent either. I am currently running EF 3.4.1 with the EC01 radio, but it has done the same thing on EC10 PNP and SFC 2.9. Any info would be greatly appreciated.
BTW: have tried FR and Reboots many times to no avail, prob with haptic?
I give up I,m stumped

I have been putting up with the same problem for about a month now. Doesnt matter what Rom/Kernel/whatever I am on, even happens in stock. Thinking about just returning it, but this is the one they gave me last time I did, hate to see what is next.
Note: I have noticed this happens a lot more on 3g than WiFi. Something to do with spotty reception?

Have you cleaned your phone around the Back button? If you've got gunk on your phone it can cause issues with these touch displays and soft keys.

Yeah I thought about that and did clean it unfortunately still happens. Thx for the response thou. I'm beginning to think I have a hardware problem, if not I will just have to live with it.

I too have this problem. It does get annoying every once and a while but It doesn't happen to often.
I have had an otterbox case on so my buttons are clean I thought it might have been the screen protector on my case casing it but now that i hear other people have the same problem idk.

Yeah, it happens to me sometimes too. Usually when I'm at the home screen, and I try to lock it it takes a screen shot. If I just tap the back button a couple times or seems to stop. Its annoying, but it doesn't happen very often.

Talked to uscc cs (nicest people I've ever had the pleasure of talking too) yesterday and I don't know if it is a known prob or if its just a company that likes to keep long time customers but they r sending a replacement out Monday.
Ill tell you one thing, not bad mouthing any other carrier but short of free phones and free service for life as long as I live in uscc coverage area nothing could get me to switch!

Yeah, got my replacement coming also. Second phone in about a month, no questions asked, great customer service!

This has happened to me for a while. In trying to discern any sort of pattern I've noticed it happens the most in my web browser (Miren), but that by no means is it restricted to that app. I've also been unable to narrow down any triggering factor - it seems to be totally at the phone's whim.
I can also say that this is my second Mesmerize with this issue, so I suspect it's simply something about the Mes's hardware that causes this problem. Must be something about the way it's designed.
Very annoying.

I have had this problem from day one with this phone. I have since gone to many different roms and kernels and never have had an improvement, even with USCC stock updates they came out with. My brother and 3 of his friends and 1 of mine that have this phone also have the same issue and half of them are stock and untouched 1 or 2 even running 2.1 still. My girlfriends son has a Fascinate with verizon with the same issues. I was just on vacation this weekend with some friends and one running another touch screen phone from Samsung on USCC network with also the same issue and his is not even a Mes. I think this is a samsung issue and it sounds like they may have used similar if not the same hardware in different phones.

T-Mobile can't help me who can? ?

OK this is my story ... I had bought a g2x April 20 i started to have data problems .. it'll dqisconnect then reconnect sometimes be disconnected for 3 to 4 mins at a time. I did every possible reset on the phone after every reset it'll work fine for about 5 mins then the disconnects starts all over again. This is everywhere I go does the same thing .. soo after calling T-mobile 100 times going thru technical support I was advise to change my phone and sim. Card as well... after changing my phone to the new one still have the same problems also I think its worse than before .. I've tried everything .. anyone has any ideas? ???

Well, were you on T-Mobile before, or is this a new contract with a new carrier?

I've always been on T-mobile ..

I have same problem bro hopefully its them upgrading/fixing network because THEY wont help you, they dont even know what u r talking about, all they will tell you is to turn phone off and on...useless..
G2X

Does it do this all the time, or in really bad reception spots?

Yea that's all T-mobile does your exactly right ..... and yea the phone does it all the time no matter where I'm at..

Ok, what phone is it you had previously, and how was that experience?

How old is your SIM?
Try to replace and see.

The phone I had before the g2x was the hd2 and as you all know it has a 6.5 windows o.s on it soo I had put mdeejay's rom evo revolution on it running on SD card was hearing those builds always had data issues soo I didn't really complain it was way better than having windows on it .. and I'm pretty sure for those couple of days I didn't have data issues with windows ..

Talk to customer loyalty, they have more power, insist on it,i don't talk to regular agents anymore, they can't do anything.one time in 30mn of talking, that guy only shows me how to reboot my phone, it's all bull****

I had the same problem and I don't know why or how it's now getting better. At first it would disconnect ALL the time and I would just put the phone on airplane mode our just disconnect and reconnect data, and it would temporarily fix the problem. After rooting, freezing bloatware and playing with the settings it rarely losses data connection. It was also really slow, I couldn't go above 2mbits, today it's between 4 and 6mbits! Consistently! (knock on wood)

Yea I've done the sim cards change.. like I said I tried everything as soon as gingerbread comes to the g2x I'll see if I have the same problem if yess I might try rooting this phone.. or just give up and get a different phone ..

i know how to fix it all you need is a hammer

its not the device error its your network reception, where do you live?

I don't think it's network. Mine does it too. Disconnects from 4g/wifi intermittently.

Yea I don't think its the network it does it everywhere I go .. I'm in Orlando Florida says I have really good coverage there .. I've also been to west palm .. ft Lauderdale .. Jacksonville ... everywhere same problem. .

only other xplanation is the radio that g2x currently uses. which will eventually likely get upgraded

I strongly believe our radio firmware is borked. I have goofy data problems to say the least. Best example I have is that I drop 2g data all the time and in weird spots, like you know, OUTSIDE! Only way I can recover is to switch to 4g. This doesn't make any sense to me. So I'm patiently waiting for LG to get off their ass and fix our phones so I can get a replacement that performs the way it was intended to.

So you had data issues with your last phone which you attribute to the software. Maybe you are in a bad area for T-Mo data, and have been all along.

Yea but it was on a SD rom from mdeejay and they all had data issues ... again this happens every where I go.

Phone issues on both inspires

I am having an odd problem with my 2 inspires. I have a bone stock one and a rooted running the beast right now( I am positive its not the rom). What happens is during a longer call, aprox over 10min, the phone will just act as though its muted even though its not. I can hear the person but they cannot hear me. The mute button is not checked nor the hold. I can normally get it back by putting the person on hold and then unhold, but not always. Also the bone stock one will do this and then immediately call the person back of which I was talking to.
I have flashed most of the roms and a bunch of radios. They all do the same thing. Its not the network because I have a dumbphone and an aria that I use to test and neither one have done this, same sim card,location and other variable of which I can control. I have even tried enabling and disabling the hac and dual mic deal in the build prop with no success. The stock one I have left alone, its running the 6.30 radio as is the rooted one at this time. the rooted phone is from close to launch and the stock one is a couple weeks old.
I am at a loss. I am not someone who returns stuff, but this is getting me pissed. I can live with the little "issues" the phone has but its a phone first and foremost. I am hoping one of you guys have a suggestion as to what to try. Thanks in advance guys/gals. I did many searches but came up dry, is my luck just that bad with this phone? Maybe a conflict with the network and the inspire? I also travel for work from middle florida to south florida and it does it in every county I visit. I have not tried to run it on edge only, but I dont know if this is a good idea or not.

By know means am I an expert, does your phone heat up during this time? Just a thought. After 5 or 10min of conversation does it feel unnecessarily warm?

So...you're having this issue on 2 phones, one rooted and one not. If we look at this logically, it has to be something common to both phones. The only common thing to both phones in this situation is the AT&T network. Do you think it could be an AT&T problem in your area? Did both phones just start doing this out of the blue?

That's how I was looking at it, too. Common denominator.
Or, the longshot odds of both phones being from the same manufacturer production batch, which was faulty.... Highly unlikely.

If the OP bought them at the same time it's entirely possible however.

I think he specifies that one was obtained close to release and the other was obtained in May...so highly unlikely it is a bad lot/build problem.

Yeah I am honestly thinking its a conflict with the network and the hspa+ phone or something. Its so damned annoying. The other phones I have to test with are just hspda phones, no faux g and they work great, same Sims.?
In a 15 minute call it did it 3 times last night. My friends now know to just wait it out and not hang up if they hear me go silent, sad.
Oh and the phone does not get hot.
I am gonna try to disable 3g and see what happens. I really appreciate the feedback guys.

Lost signal/data, reboot required...

Hi so I was wondering if this has happened to anyone else. Today my phone was in an area that it always has 4G and signal and for some reason I went to use the phone and for about three minutes it had no signal and data. I rebooted the phone and everything is fine now and this is the first time this has happened on stock everything(Waiting til ICS). Glitch?

oh snap
could it be the dreaded LOS???

Yeah actually it's happened to me about three times. Twice in the Phoenix area with full 4G and once in the Yuma area, edge only.
What it's this you speak of Shabby?

was a huge deal on the epic 4g touch, official they never resolved it.. there was a fix done via the kernel though that allowed it to be fairly non-existent. first time ive ever heard of a gsm samsung having issues like this tho, its usually just the cdma phones that get kicked in the nuts
http://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/76962?start=0&tstart=0
as you can see that is a rather long thread. the good news is i believe they did end up patching it for gb to where it didnt happen, however on their leaked ics build we have it seems they "forgot" that patch

Yea well hopefully ICS will come out for this phone and if not by the time the GS3 comes out I will switch even if i have to pay full price! lol I think this problem happened twice for me so far...

Anybody still having data issues?

I've been using my Rogers HOX ever since it came out but always had random data drops. Tried all kinds of radios (with or without RIL) and all kinds of roms and the issue is still there. Losing data is not the biggest issue but it also drops the battery real quick because it keeps trying to connect.
Anybody ever find a solution to this?

I'm using the HOX on Straight Talk and lately I have noticed that when I have WiFi on for a while, assuming it stays connected, I lose mobile data. The only thing that bring it back is toggling airplane mode or rebooting the phone.
I am on Jellybean, and I am not sure if the issue was present in the stock ROM's.

Yep still having the same problem on AT&T with every combination of Kernel/ROM/Radio you can think of. I can also say that it isn't a "rooted only" problem because a coworker is having the same issues on 100% stock software. There's always that ONE THING that keeps my phone experiences from being perfect. Grrrrrrrr........

My rooted One X is doing the same thing. I can't wait for the Galaxy Note 2 to come out. HTC just can't quite seem to figure it out.

Stock 2.20 on Straight Talk. Have to toggle Airplane occasionally. Especially in North Little Rock. ::shrugs::

OP, have you restored your stock setup to see if the issue persists? Basic question, but for the sake of a starting point.

After so long, finaly found the problem. I don't know if it'll be the same for everyone but the problem was Swiftkey keyboard. The moment I uninstalled it, the problem did not reoccur.

I have the same problem and I can assure you its not the phone, I have used many android phones, iPhones, and regular phones on rogers 3G network and they all have the data drops in general like dropping to 1 bar and no service once and while.
You might want to switch your network to wcdma/gsm instead of wcdma/gsm/LTE. If you dont have the correct APN for the rogers lte network it will keep searching for the lte nrtwork causing the data drop. As soon as I turned my lte toggle off the network stopped dropping randomly though I still get those random data drops caused by the network

We had this issue with the rezound, it actually occurred because you flashed different radios.
You had to flash a ruu or a modified one without the system image. See my SIG
So try flashing a ruu, this doesn't explain someone with a stock phone having issues but I bet that's just tower issues
I don't have any of these issues

Tried all of the listed solutions and nothing worked. I know it's not the network because I don't have the problem with my Note II. Swiftkey was the issue for me, once removed, the issue never reoccurred.

Wow, you might be onto something here. I just installed SwiftKey last night and immediately started having issues. Data has been off-and-on with different versions of different ROMs, and never suspected that my issues may lie within an app that I was using. I was mucking about with radio ROMs and a million other settings, never realizing that SwiftKey was installed right around the time I started having issues on each ROM.
I'm going to jump back to CM10 this evening and see if this was my issue.
THANK YOU in advance! (Thanks button has been hit!) Nice work!

You gotta be sh***ing me! After all this time scouring xda and numerous other sites.starting my own tread it was SwiftKey all along? Wtf? I did a thousand different things. Nothing worked, took off Swiftkey, bam, flawless. I've got a T-mobile GS3 incase anyway was wondering, no, apparently it's not just with htc or AT&T/Rodgers. Weird though cuz my wife has a AT&T GS3 with Swiftkey and has no issues whatsoever... Did you dl your version from the playstore or from a 3rd party? Thanks a million for posting your solution. This was absolutely killing me. God do I hate this stock keyboard though...
