On my s I solved this by replacing the vibrate/ribbon motor with this one the smaller separate ribbon with the 3 gold contacts is the points for the 3 buttons - just be aware to replace this part you have to strip your phone right back including peeling the screen from its frame so you have to be careful
I've also been having issues with this randomly using ViperOneS, but recently it's become unbearable. Wiping cache/dalvik seems to do nothing. Sometimes even rebooting doesn't work, even so rebooting your phone 10 times a day is annoying. According to this it's known and there's a fix for it.
Until we get a definite software solution (I'm not opening the company's phone), you can get a home menu button app. At least you can reboot later...

Hi guys,
Strange things started to happen after my OTA 2.3.4 upgrade yesterday. Maybe it is a coincidence but 5-6 hours after I did an upgrade my lock ring started not to work that smooth as before and I'm completely sure I didn't have it yesterday ! I mean - very often I can't drag this lock ring into the middle of the screen to unlock. It simply does not follow my finger and goes back to the bottom of the screen. The other thing - my back button refuses to work occasionally. For the first time (after two weeks of usage) I was not able to use it, no response at all ! I need to push the button 4-5 times and then it starts working. It is easily repeatable - simply try to launch your text messages or phone directly from the lock screen, use you back button (it should work for first few times) and then turn off the screen to lock it. Repeat it several times and at one point it will not react on back button pushes. It will respond after 4-5 times.
I know there is very similar thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1129272
But does anyone of you suffers this issue just after upgrading to 2.3.4 ? Or is this just a coincidence ?
This happened to me with the previous rom. 2.3.4 is excellent
Hi everybody,
I found fix to my problem. It turned out the reason for this was my screen protector. What is interesting it is original screen protector from HTC ! So one time when I couldn't get my lock ring to the middle of the screen I took out the screen protector and voila ... everything is working now like a charm. I suspect that the screen protector got harder or something after little sun exposure. HTC - shame on its poor quality !
But I still do have problems with back button, but only when I run apps directly from the lock screen. Otherwise it works always, so for me it seems like a software bug ! Will write to HTC to report it to them.
This isn't happening with my phone. I have 2.3.4
Well frndz i have unlocked sensation..... and recently i flashed core roms as i am the member but noticed a strange behaviour...that when i take screenshot many times jst by pressing the home button for no reason it takes screenshots and no matter how much i keep pressing the home key it keeps taking..

Tried
1. core romes.

Hello,I bought a HTC Desire S around 4 months ago.
From past 2 days i have lot of problems with it.
1.Home screen button not working
2.Q,A keys are not working while typing(they work when i rotate the screen)
3.Wen i rotate the screen and start typing the whole keys on the least bottom dont work.
4.Sometimes if i press back key it goes to selection option...sometimes whole phone hangs.
5.Im not able to download from market...after i click download it shows downlading icon but it never starts download.
I made factory reset for couple of times but no use.
Any one have some suggestions?
numbers 1 to 4 seem like some sort of problem with your touchscreen... Have you tried wiping it with some clean cloth after breathing on it? My back button has some issues registering touches once in a while, but wiping it helps always
Regarding 5, I don't know really, but have you tried using the webmarket?

Does the area where your Q and A keys are when in portrait work when the keyboard is not on? Can you use it to click items, scroll webpages etc?
One other thing you could try is the calibrate option for the keyboard. (somewhere in settings-> languages I think, it's been a while since I ran an Sense ROM).
If both yield no result, it sounds like a hardware issue to me, and you might be best of to invoke your warranty.
An hour or so ago everything worked fine, and then I updated my playstores pending apps (only Fleksy was pending) and the "force touch" feature of the phones seems to have completely stopped working, no matter what setting I turned on or off it didn't work...
Anyone has a clue as to what can cause this?
General notes:
1. Using stock Exynos unlocked variant
2. I am using package disabler (which btw didn't improve much my battery life, but that might be just me using the phone too much ) so maybe one of the packages decided that it depends on a disabled one?
I noticed mine stops working after a reboot and takes about a minute or two to get back up and running. Try a restart after clearing caches, if nothing still, reboot in safe mode. If it works, then its an app you installed interfering.

Mine also stop working after I restart my S8 Plus, it will again work if I wait around 20 minutes. Is this software or hardware problem? Any solutions?
Wish mine would stop working permanently! can't stand that feature forever brushing across it and waking the phone up!

How does it act up on your part? Mine would just stop working if I restart the phone & I should wait sometimes hours before it would work again.
Every time i'm installing my phone in my car mount I need to hold the phone from the bottom to install it correctly and brushing my fingers across the bottom is constantly waking the phone up, I've lowered the sensitivity to it's minimum.

I see, problem is not the same. On my part the tactile home button simply doesn't work when you press on it. I have to double tap to wake the phone when on lockscreen.

Unless your phone is unlocked no pins etc the phone will just go to the lockscreen, it's a useless feature, most people have the phones locked and thus it's a complete waste of time, it sounds to me the capacitive home button part of the screen was an afterthought because they couldn't install the fingerprint reader under the screen, just had a software update yesterday and still can't turn it off, basic stuff Samsung should enable an ON/OFF toggle switch for this.
Had the same problem with my S8 Plus India Variant(SM-G955 FD), I got my screen replaced from service center, Device was not rooted back then, so was under warranty.
But it is an hardware issue, as since then it has never gone off.
I mean when I press the home button hard it doesn't wake the phone up & no vibration. It happens when I restart the device then it would stop working for few minutes to a few hours sometimes, then it would start working again normally until I restart the phone again. I think this is just a software issue.
Hi all,
Since the beginning I have a weird issue that my back button sometimes wont work.
If I touch the screen somewhere else the back button works again.
Currently updated to latest firmware for my model 1.27.401.5 and using viper 1.7.0 but problem still exists sometimes.
Any ideas? Or more people who have had this issue?
For me it's the back button and the recent apps button. Started a few weeks ago. Doesn't always happen, but does more often than not. Restarting doesn't fix it.
I presume it's because of either an update or app that I loaded, but don't know what.

Just out of curiosity, what type of screen protector if any are you using?
I personally don't have a screen protector and I'm also running the latest ViperU Rom....and the only problem I have with both the recent and back button is that they don't have a "wide touch sensitive zone" you have to touch exactly where the button is....which is hard when it's not lit all the time...
I bon t use any screen protector me too

same here
Just started to me. I noticed something smudged on my screen part of it covered the back button. I tried to turn the screen off before wiping it off but every time I tried to wipe it off the screen would activate and the back button capacitive action would keep kicking on. Now I notice neither my back button or right side "menu"button work or light up anymore.
Have only had this phone a few months. This would be a non starter for me. Anyone have any fixes?

Hi,
Have the same problem with my HTC U11 life, both buttons are away. Only the home Button works. How could I fix this problem?
Hello ! I have the same problem with htc u11, the recent application button is working alone, without being touched, lately it's getting more and more often. How can this extremely troublesome issue be solved? Thank you !
Hi, I've had my HTC U11 since launch and it's always had what I would describe as an 'intermittent fault' with the back button. I've just upgraded the software for I think the 3rd time and it's still the same. Now on v 2.33.401.10. I find a little extra pressure usually works but it's annoying, especially when everything else works so well. It's the same whether I have a screen protector on or not and it's not an accuracy thing as I can hit the same spot 20 times and while most will work, there will be patches or 2 or 3 presses where it won't respond. A solution would be much appreciated!
The Back and Apps buttons never worked nicely for me, it was kinda hard to find and press with naked screen and with glass protector almost impossible. However, I have the Glove mode always on and the buttons work fine. In Oreo Settings → Display, gestures & buttons → Glove mode.
But sometimes (I guess when the phone is hot; when charging OR on battery so no charger issue) the squeeze is overly sensitive or there are taps at the top edge of the display when nothing (fingers, metal nor anything else conductive) is nearby the area, in extreme cases it starts pulling down the notification drawer and even opens notifications by itself. It's rare now, if it gets more often, I'll probably claim warranty.
So do I.... I also have the problem with the screen buttons. The "back button" usually works fine and forget to work 1/10 times, however the right "multiwindow button" makes me crazy. Often when I hold the phone in my hand, this button lives with its own life and turn on the multiwindow mode (as it "presses" by itself 2-3 times in a row). At the begining I thought thah mayby I'm pressing it by a part of my palm, but I after observation I realised it goes whithout my contribution. I'm sick and tired.
