Hey fellas, so I've been using JellyBean 4.2.1 Unofficial CM10.1 rom now, for about a month- Went from a stock- unrooted to the JB Unofficial CM 10.1, and everything has worked like a charm.... but then last night I was using my Infuse when all of a sudden the bottom row of keys wouldn't respond. At first I had thought that the phone had frozen because I hit the Home key and it wouldn't budge. Then I realized the screen still responded, so it didnt freeze. So what I did was go ahead and reboot it, but still the keys wouldn't work, If I pressed them though, they would flicker, so they still seem to have a response, but they neither vibrate nor do the function they're supposed to do. So then I plugged the phone up to charge it for a about 2 hrs, when I realized they were working again. In the morning, just to make sure the problem wouldn't happen again I went into Recovery and wiped Cache and Delvic Cache... as the morning progressed the phone once again lost its bottom row keys function, so I removed the battery for a couple of minutes then booted the phone up. The keys were once again up and running as usual. But after more phone interactions came through, I lost again the use of the botton keys. So I did the battery trick about 2 more times to get the keys to work, then in the afternoon, removing the battery no longer had any effect on the hardware keys. So since I had the 12-19 rom update, I went ahead and Installed this year's new rom, the 1-14-13 Rom, doing the data, cache, system and delvic wipes, and hopefully rebooted to find the the keys still remain ineffective... I have now searched quite a bit to find nothing to help me, guys, and I'm honestly uneasy right about now, because I'm afraid my beautiful phone is now messed up forever. Can anyone PLEASE help me by any means, to resolve the issue? Thanks!
I have flashed it back to complete stock, and nothing happens!! the softkeys just turn on when I swipe my finger and flicker once when I press on an specific button. So going back to JB CM 10.1 and getting onscreen menu buttons meanwhile :S
The only thing I can thank of is that you or the ROM may have disabled your hardware keys. Have you tried disabling them and then re-enabling them?

Actually tried like 4 different roms, so that actually couldnt be the problem, it seems I have now 3 days of having my softkeys back... and didnt do a thing to get them, im guessing my phone was messed up...
In any case i found a great app called button savior which are onscreen buttons which is pretty good, but yea mustve been a phone issue, but apparently its fixed for the tome being, hope it never happens again... but thanks for your answer!
Well I'm glad I could help and I hope your keys stay working

That actually happened to me long time ago. But whenever it happens, I just turn the screen off and on. It fixed for me.

I'm running GingerBeast right now and everyone once in a while(once or twice a day, some days it won't happen) when I hit the power button to get to the unlock screen, I'll see the softkeys light up for a second and then my phone turns off. I have to hit the power button again for my phone to boot up. I was using CM7 before I changed to GingerBeast and the same thing was happening. I've also tried different radios with and there was no difference.
Could this be a bad root? Should I delete everything and try again or what?

Wont help I get the same thing sometimes. Its weird, I think its a sequence that causes It. I noticed the last two times I was walking and holding it and swinging my arms. It vibrates sometimes when I do this and if I hit the wake button right after its reboots.

Have you tried any other ROMs before?
this happens to me sometimes on MIUI
Did any of u restore any system data or any apps + data using TiBu after u flashed whatever ROM u r using?
I would recommend flashing ROM CLEAN from scratch, and not restoring ANY info using TiBu, and using it for a day and see if the issue resurfaces.
yes diablo has a good point. Also, what is your setcpu set to on boot? This could cause instability if you clock high on boot.

On my girlfriends phone I have noticed this too. Always thought it had something to do with the undervolt and waking up.

Lol..yeah... phone + at a music show = retarded corrections.
I've noticed it almost never happens when I'm just sitting at home. I think it usually happens after I pull it out of my pocket and hit the wake button
this happened to me when i had a lockscreen widget installed i uninstalled and its fine now. dont know if your using a lockscreen widget or not but thats what was screwing mine up
Is anybody else having an issue where the phone freezes when trying to reboot or power off? I have wiped all caches and even restored may nandroid backup that was all stock and was getting the same issue. I did not see anything in any of the other ics post. I am not getting any force closes and I have tried repairing permissions. It just does the same thing.

Everything's working great for me, with the lone exception that when I go to shut down it gets stuck and I need to pull the battery if I intend to power off completely, or hold down the power button for ten seconds or so to reboot the phone.
I think almost everyone is having this issue.
Thanks guys it was working fine. I guess its a small price to pay to have ics.

When I first flashed ICS, without doing a factory reset afterward, I was able to shut down properly. Then I read in the forum that to fix the locking issue, I needed to do a factory reset. So I did. And after that, nothing worked quite right, and I get stuck during shut down.
So, I reflashed ICS, did factory reset 3 times immediately afterward. Now everything is working fine, including shut down.
YMMV
I am rooted 4.0.3 stock.
No problems with the power menu.
Strange. I'm just lucky, huh?

I am in the same boat. The superuser zip also flashed no errors first time.
I didn't have the issue at first but it started randomly. Kinda annoying but I guess I'll deal because everything else works fine.

Mine worked fine also. I don't know what happened. Maybe it will start working fine again in its own again

Same problem for a lot of people.
In the meantime you can use this app to reboot and shutdown. Works like a charm.

Also holding down the power button about 10 seconds or so will also reboot your phone.

Has anyone noticed some super slow screen rotations? Also, on the home screen, are you able to auto rotate? My MoPho Q is acting funny after flashing some stock system images and updating(Mine freezes and reboot loops sometimes). If anyone has any issues with their screen having rotate lag please post here, thanks!
I havent experienced any of those issues... I have rooted deodexed and otherwise stock phone. Maybe try to reflash?

Thanks for replying. I have been reflashing stuff all day, nothing seems stable. Had phone up for 10 hours then started reboot looping. I formatted my sd card and did factory reset, tried 3 or 4 different ways of recovering everything so idk what else to do. I am just now re-rooting and trying deodexed, making backups every step of the way(beyond frustrated).

Wow that's no fun... how bad is the auto rotate lag? It takes mine about .2 seconds, not long but there is a slight delay. And the only way I can rotate the home screen is if I slide the keyboard out. I was looking into making my own ROM but didn't figure it out. I'm hoping for one soon, maybe that would fix for your problem too.

Just recently I've been having problems with my screen not rotating back after sliding out the keyboard. Sometimes it doesn't rotate at all. I'm just rooted with the latest update also. Don't know why this is happening.
I've had that a couple times, usually it goes away on its own. I tried turning rotation on/off, forcing it back to portrait mode using apps that only run in portrait, cycling lock screen on and off, finally it just started fixing it self after a reboot or time.

Haha, did exact same things. And you're right. Hasn't happened in awhile.
Just wanted to confirm that I have problems with this too. Sometimes I get tired of waiting to the point that I open the keyboard to force landscape mode.
Need some help here...been running AOKP unofficial just fine for a while then all of a sudden my phone starts acting crazy and the flash will go off and then start vibrating and try to reboot, then it kinda gets stuck in a mini boot loop. I have to hold down the power button to get it to fully reboot properly. So i thought it might be a bad app. I uninstalled some apps and it kept doing it. So I wiped and installed the latest AOKP unofficial rom. it did it a couple of times even with no apps on the phone. One thing ive also notice is when I push the power button to sleep/lock, It comes right back on to the lockscreen...Thoughts?
Power button, it's in the beginning stages of being totally stuck

My Old Skyrocket I'm letting my son use, is rebooting also. I notice if i barely touch the power button, it wants to go black, or even prompts to reboot. Extremely sensitive. I'll give this a go within the next few days and hopefully this will get him back in business.

Hey guys I have been having a pretty serious issue the last couple of days. Was running a CM 10 teamchopsticks nightly from a few weeks ago, which worked perfectly up until three days ago. Then it started crashing randomly, the screen would go black and it would vibrate every few seconds, a battery pull would fix it. I updated the phone to the latest nightly, and now I can't run the phone for 5 minutes without the same type of crash. When I battery pulled and tried to turn on the phone, it would immediately crash about 4/5 of the time. This bug is rendering my phone unusable. Not sure whether this is a Rom issue or something else, thanks in advance.
Not sure what kernel I am running.
Hearing it may be a hardware issue, anyone agree?
Could be, try to odin stock jb or ics. If you still have the problem then it's probably hardware. Unfortunately the rocket is getting old. I'm having some old age problems with mine too. Mostly stuck power button.

I don't Think you have it. Take your battery out and then put it back in. If it boots at that point then that's a sign that you probably do. Or if you try to try to power off you phone but it reboots then that's another sign

Could be a stick power button then, that's almost a sure sign. Mine is intermittent. Some times it's ok, others not not.
