I've rooted stock ICS for my TF101 and I've only exeperienced the random reboot once. But for some reason my tablets home button does nothing. I've pressed it and the animation plays but it doesn't do anything i have to use the back key to get to the home screen. Does anyone know why this might be? I've tried rebooting it with no luck. I haven't tried resetting to factory yet.i want to se if anyone has any insight.
Anyone knows a fix for this?
I have the same issue except mine is not rooted. I will root it later and see if that changes anything, although i do not see why it would.... Please help??

Hey all, just upgraded to thingonasprings rom and im pretty chuffed so far... only a couple of problems, im sure someone will be able to help me as a newbie. Keyboard and phone buttons seem to work fine, but the dpad, backlight, voice dial and camera buttons and volume control all seem dead and the power button doesnt always bring the screen back up, i have to close the lid and re-open.
Is anyone else having this problem? Can anyone confirm them to be working in another rom that is as good as thingonasprings?
ok, i guess no one else has this problem... can anyone recommend a way to capture when a button is pressed and what reference refers to that button? Is there anything in the registry storing a button reference followed by its action. I may not be using the correct terminology.
If anyone can help it would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
try to reflash it again... maybe it would help.
Thanks for the reply
I tried reflashing, and even tried changing to a different rom (I am using thingonaspring's rom, but have tried Beasty & Laurentius as well). Im guessing that this is something kinda specific to my device as it seems no-one else has had this problem. I know that the backlight button actually works as I can use it to get into the bootloader, thats why im thinking it must definately be a rom / software issue. Ive been looking for an app I can use to trace a button press, but cant find anything. I really like WM6, but without these buttons / volume slider i may need to swap back to something else... i was running 2003 with wisbar but the performance didnt seem as good as it is now, and i love realvga (I dunno if it is supported on other versions of the OS).
ok, think im getting somewhere - went back to wm5 and all was fine, went to wm6 and they worked until i reset...then nothing... hard reset and they work, until i reset again.... anyone any ideas please?
now sorted changed rom to jwrights and its much better - thanks
I'm using sprint htc touch pro, using raph800 startup.txt.
When I turn off the android (not "off" but just press power to turn off screen), I can't seem to wake the screen back up, the real buttons (keyboard/volume) seem to work since I can hear them but the screen stays off. I have to soft reset it back into windows to be able to use phone again. I looked on around and found someone suggested changing the pm.sleepmode to something else, and I've tried them all and problem still persists.
Sorry if this isn't good place to post it, it wouldnt let me post in the android section where it's more relevant.
Anyone know of this problem and a fix for it?
edit: well a temp/probably permanent fix was to switch to the new gingerbread, guess this thread can be deleted now
my girls volume wont turn on at all? anyone ever hear about this problem? it isn't rooted....
not sure if it will help, but try this: from the home screen, press the menu button, then choose settings>sound>volume, and check the settings for the various volumes, i.e incoming call, media, system, etc. when my phone was stock like hers, sometimes one or more of those volumes got pushed down to 0 for some reason... it was annoying, and it seemed to happen especially to my notifications volume every time i rebooted the phone! hope that helps
I'm having the exact same issue
Hey everyone. So I bought a sidekick 4g on craigslist the other day. I checked it out and thought everything was okay, but I was wrong. So far no response from the jerk who sold it to me without telling me about this problem.
The phones volume up key doesn't work 90% of the time. If I reboot the phone or leave it off for a while, the volume up key will work for a few minutes and then stop again. The funny thing is the volume up key works when I want to reboot (holding vol.up + vol.down and power button at the same time).
So is there any fix for this? Will rooting it and loading a rom fix it? Also I am new to all of this, is it even possible to root and load generginger 2.0 with a broke volume up button? The phones firmware is all up to date.
Thanks for any info and help everyone.
i'd suggest using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1275116
root the phone, and then go back to stock with the heimdall and see if that fixes the problem. and if it does then you should try rooting it again and install one of the Custom ROMs because the stock OS on this phone is garbage out of the box.
but i'm no expert either, it just seems strange that only when its been on for a bit that it stops working. that it works when you boot it seems to suggest that its a software issue? somebody help me out here guys lol
I recently updated my TF to 8.6.5.19 Firmware With CWM & Root and I noticed my volume up is not working, the down works fine, I have tried rebooting, Factory Reset and still nothing. It worked fine when I did the update with CWM but now it just stopped. I am not sure if it is software or hardware, I tried rebooting into CWM and it will not work either. I also noticed the backing has separated from the bezel and you can see the rubbers around the volume keys, I have never noticed and issue before with the volume, the volume down seems soft to press as the volume up seems a little bit harder. I wanted to send it for RMA but It is rooted and I do not know how to unroot it. I was told by someone that ASUS will not fix it if you root the tablet. If anyone can let me know what I could do to fix it or maybe someway to reflash the update again or unroot it. I would greatly appreciate it.
A solution....
Well i guess not many people can help you if they dont get the hands on it. Usualy u cant find out if it works or not. Best way is plug it in your pc open properties on your computer and go to hardware and see if the APX activates this is how u can find out if it really work if not here you have a program to get directly to recovery ...

It works fine because i have tried it...
I have tried to get into APX mode many times but it does not work, it just starts the tablet, It is installed on my PC for I have used it before numerous times to install updates and to root it. The only option I can get is the volume down menu which I cannot select "Up" so it boots to the Wipe Data/Android screen. I want to RMA it but I cannot get anyone to let me know whether they will fix it if it is rooted.
This isn't going to help you much but I had an identical problem where the volume Up button stopped working. It was the impetus for me finally sending the unit in for repair - came back a month later with the volume up button functioning but the power button broken and the entire unit virtually unusable. This was a hardware repair as they did something to make the button feel totally different. Second RMA did fix things though.
Mine wasn't rooted though - way too many issues on this thing for me to risk the warranty. Good luck to you though.
Well I bought and downloaded the Asus Transformer Recovery Boot and it works like a charm for getting me into CWM but still no APX mode
Im sorry but i only want to help...
I insist please turn off your TF plug in usb to pc then turn it on pressin VOL + and START and go to mi pc properties hardware and u will see it goes in apx keep trieing it has to work sometimes it takes a little the screen on TF is black all the time just look at pc do it and wait count at least 8 seconds before letting loose the power bott and not more than 10 secs the VOL + if u do it wont work... TRUST ME ON THIS i have tried it on a TF 101 and a TF 3G both rooted now...
I have the Verizon variant of the Galaxy S6
A few different times now the capacitive buttons stopped working. They don't light up, they don't work, and there is no haptic feedback from them. It always happens after a restart, but not the first restart.
I have tried factory reset and that didn't work. I had to flash my phone using Verizon's repair assistant to fix the problem.
The second time it happened I thought it was due to installing that Galaxy Lights app everyone is talking about. I booted into safe mode, uninstalled the app and restarted. Once I did it worked for a few more days before it happened again. I did a full repair to fix it.
A few minutes ago it happened again. This time I haven't installed that app or any other apps that would affect the buttons. I am rooted with Ping Pong but I haven't done anything other than remove a few bloatware items and use Titanium Backup.
Any suggestions? I'm desperate to find the problem and a solution so I don't have to keep resetting my phone. Thanks!
So, I booted into safe mode and the buttons were working fine. I didn't do anything and restarted into normal boot mode. Now the buttons are working just fine. We'll see what happens in the next few days if it reaccures.
Has anyone else had similar problems with them stop working?
Problem Again
I rebooted my phone and the buttons stopped working again. Booting into safe mode doesn't fix the problem.
I haven't installed any apps recently and no apps at all that would have an impact on the soft keys. I have a small hunch it may be caused by having a handful of apps open as i restart.
Any special resets or things I should try to get my soft keys working again?
This just happened to me today.
Galaxy S6, VZW.
Buttons were working just fine, and then suddenly stopped working as I was using the phone.
I had noticed a strange screen briefly that looked like the task manager but had no "close all" at the bottom, but I dismissed it and then shortly thereafter the buttons seemed to just stop working.
Haven't tried a safe mode boot yet. Will do that shortly.
If this is going to become a recurring thing, I'm sad.

Nope. No dice. Soft buttons (capacitive) not working at all (not lighting up at all either - even at boot).
Any ideas?
That sucks
Try uninstalling any recent apps that might affect haptic feedback, display settings, etc while in safe mode.
Otherwise you'll have to flash using Verizon recovery software. It'll install itself once you connect your phone to your PC. This will completely reset your phone so be sure to backup.
If you don't want to do all that just use "Handy Soft Keys"
It'll make a floating widget with the soft keys. I ultimately had to do a warranty exchange with VErizon.
I've had the same thing happen to me. Capacitive buttons just stopped working after having the phone for a week.
I've tried rebooting, running the battery down to 0, rebooting to safe mode. Nothing seems to work.
I've enabled the "tablet software buttons" (qemu.hw.mainkeys=0) in the interface so I can still use it for now, was hoping they'd magically start working again so I don't have to get a warranty (refurb) replacement.
Anyone else find something that fixed them?

Best advice I have is to flash your phone back to stock.
I still haven't restarted my phone, I really don't want them to stop working again.

Nope.
I tried a full factory reset/wipe, to no avail.
Took it to the VZW store and they got me a replacement no questions, though. The new phone has been working fine -- -- -- so far...
seems its a hardware issue. I've tried different ROMs flashing through Odin. Nothing happened. Sometime works, sometime not!!!
