My Phone's softkeys are not working at all. It glows but dont work.
Touchscreen is also not working, Everytime I had to lock screen by power button then after unlocking the touchscreen works for 2-3 touches....then again I had to lock screen.
I tried to flash MIUI 5.6, ICS CM9 v6, v7 but same issue.
Now flashed the Stock DDKP3, but issue still persists.
Plz Help me If someone can.....Pleaseeee !!!
I guess there is some fault in the touchscreen.. A hardware issue.. Better show it in Samsung service center.. I don't think there can be a software prob as u have tried all ROM's..

Wow, another user with the same issue.
Mine is just a wild guess that kernel 2.6.x may be a cause of the problem. ie after shifting to ICS.
Im waiting for kernel 3.0 before visiting service center. Gonna cost Rs.5K man.
i wasnt on ICS..
had stock rom with cf-root, deodexed, and a few mods!!
check out ebay for the touch panel! its there for about $28, im thinking of getting one down!

Opening the device will void your warranty completely.
There's a high chance that you ruin something else in the process, phone hardware is very delicate, so i suggest letting a professional do it..

Look at this post.
There also it is mentioned that trying differenet kernels for CM9 may damage the Touchkeys.
Anyhow......I also had to visit Service center, but after Flashing Stock DDKP3 I regained my warranty, so It saved me my 5k as you told.

WRONG again, it doesn't affect the touch keys hardware wise, it may just affect how it works for that kernel and ROM only, not the hardware, what he changed there is that touch keys only light up according to ambient light, while other kernels don't use that so it just messes that up.
CM9 has nothing to do with ruining your touch keys, it's a hardware issue, stop playing smart with it, only way to fix it is the good ol' service center haha
I had the same problem...soft keys not working...tried many roms but no use...
I am from kerala .a place In south india...I took it to a shop in penta meneka ..they said the display is fine..the small touch sensitive strip beneth the soft keys need to be changed..its worth just 500 rupees.....the moment I heard it I felt relaxed coz changing the slcd display is not an option for me....
If any of you have the same problem ..take the phone to a local mobile service store..
Today I will check the cost with orginal samsung customer care and service shop.lets hope they will change the strip and not the display...

Hi ,
I am facing the same problem, In my case touch screen is working fine. Problem is only with touch key. I have also bought this phone from Penta Meneka. What people at Samsung service centre told you about this? Is you problem is resolved? Please reply
Hey, i just replaced my touchscreen and digitizer.. and the soft key prob still insists, i studied it and i have came to a conclusion that the KEYPAD FLEX CABLE might be broken. Luckily, the flex cable costs around $20
I just wasted $83 on my new touchscreen tsk

hi guys. my touch screen and soft keys doesnt work too. but in xxkpe rom, they works perfectly. but any 2.3.6 roms doesnt work. try xxkpe(2.3.4) rom then if it doesnt work, go to service center.
Hi all,
I have a strange display issue where in I'm observing a blue tinge in my display. Kindly advice of there is anything i could do/test before taking to SSC. Many Thanks!
Please find image below. Although image is of poor quality the problem is clearly visible. Also this is clearly visible only under full brightness and when phone boots, but hardly noticeable when under normal brightness conditions and non black screen.
PS: Sorry for Poor image quality, i don't have a decent secondary phone/camera at the moment.
UPDATE:

My Mobile is back from SSC. Have asked my bro to collect and to do some initial checks(He's new to android).
Initial Impressions:
1. They have replaced the Display unit (Also front panel i guess, there were few hard dents, but now the search for dent goes in vain)
2. Stock 2.3.5 Yet!
Will post more updates as i hear from him/get my hands on my mobile tomorrow. Thanks all for your support! :good:

Did your phone fell down? Or someone sitted on that means any sort of pressure came over the phone?

Key in *#0*# and try the LCD test for colours and sensors buddy. Check if everything is working fine. You can also try the app LCD Test. Seems like the LCD panel might have undergone some pressure. It may be like fallen, or some one pressed their weight over it, or exposed to heat(steam). Check if touch sensors are working in that spot.:fingers-crossed:

Check whether actually it's a LCD issue or it's on the software side.
- Input *#0*# in the keypad & run the different colour tests Red, Blue, Green & Black.
- If the colors seem normal then it could be a software bug but incase you still see those bluish smudges on the screen then it could be a hardware problem.
- Flash the stock ROM, clear the cache, dalvik cache & check if it resolves your problem. (do a hard reset as the last option)
- Even if the above option doesn't help then take it to a service center as it could be a hardware(LCD) problem.
Do update here if it solves the problem. Hope this helps.
Cheers !
Thanks cooleagle and selva.simple.
I tried with the inbuilt colour tests and the LCD App. Every color is rendered perfect except for black. only in black screen i could see the blue smudges. That again with brightness on the higher side it is noticeable, with brightness around 30% it is hardly seen.
I'm away from system, hence shall try flashing stock rom and hard reset at a later point.

Just check wether you have tick/untick Auto adjust screen power option. try doing the opposite thing and then check if every thing is working fine.
This is the issue when running with black screen. All other colors are reproduced fine. Vipul, i tried that makes no difference to the issue.

Try flashing the stock ROM with a hard reset & if it doesn't solve then give it to the Service Center.

Phone to SSC
UPDATE: Submitted my Phone to SSC, he was trying to convince me that it isn't a big problem. I have conveyed i have no interest in carrying forward a fault in phone to Out of Warranty period and then pay for the same. He told he shall call back to confirm if display needs to be replaced (Also specified a 4 days ETA)
SSC Updates
Hi All,
After one full week, SSC people called me up today, they said they haven't got any confirmation of replacement LCD shipment from Noida. Hence requested an ETA of 2 days. After that, if they don't get an confirmation on spare availability, they'll proceed with a replacement or refund!
Also, on my request, they agreed to let me use the phone till a decision is made or spare becomes available.
Request you guys to assist me on taking further steps if refund option is suggested by them. Thanks in advance.

It's upto you mate. As ICS is finally here for our handset you can weigh your options. If you're willing to spend more money than what you'd payed for SGR then you can ask for a refund but if the budget stays the same i.e around 21k then there's very little competition to SGR even now.
BTW do ask them & tell us here how much they'll give you back incase of a refund so that everyone could have a ball park figure in their mind incase they also are given this option.
Cheers !

I'm not interested in a refund option at all. I'm not interested in buying a handset in lieu of SGR. Can I demand for a replacement or repair and deny a refund request?

Yes. But its applicable only if a spare hardware or spare device is available. Only if both are not available, they can go for refund. Till a single piece of required hardware of another handset is available, you can deny the refund. I believe u r in Chennai buddy. Which area are you and where u have given it for service.

Change touchscreen and screen both. You can destroy the display very easy. So the 70€ are a good price for good quality.

Guys... I believe I found a little piece of software (on another forums) that might make all of our troubles go away
This is from Lignja (earlier comment):
if you have touchscrean and swipe problems on your sensation, download SGS touchscreen booster from market, install it, press on super optimized, and pull first 3 collums on end left, and 2 last on end right, then press apply... your sensation will worke like a charm, you wont have any swipe problems or locking ring... then you can test it and turn back ond defult or uninstal that application and it will still work... hope it helps you like it helped to me... soz for bad english..
I'm testing it now... so far it's working... fingers crossed
I had to replace lcd screen on my desire s cuz there was some large black thing, so i've left it in local phone service and they replaced my lcd but my touchscreen didn't work at all after they put it back in phone, so they gave me new touchscreen for free. Now everything is working fine except the area near notification bar it just wont respond on tap. It is really annoying sometimes cuz in sense 3.X i can't tap widget in personalise option (shortcut and app works fine) so once removed widget can't be selected again and i can't add a new widgets, when i am searching something in youtube or play store or browser i must write full line cuz i can't click on a prediction the app shows me (eg. when i type angry in play store it shows me angry birds but i cant tap it, instead i have to write full name and press enter).
So do i have to get a new touchscreen or this one isn't puted right in place?
Please respond
Exactly same as mine. Basically they damaged the digitizer. On ur digitizer (looking at screen) the black frame around the edge theres tiny little wires behind it and they must of damged a wire at the top. I had exact same problem and replaced the digitizer mysrlf and now all is fine.
