[Q] Disappearing Dialer on T959v - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

I have searched heavily for this issue and have not been able to find anything. If I have missed a post, please point me in the right direction.
I have a T-Mobile T959v that is completely stock Gingerbread. It has been carrier unlocked via NCK unlock code. Everything seems to work just fine on the phone. The problem is when I dial a number and press the call button on the screen, the dialer will swoop off to the left side of the screen and never return. The notification bar is still visible. The navigation buttons at the bottom all light up. The navigation buttons do not seem to work during this time. Even after the call is ended by the other party I have to pull the battery to get the screen back to normal and the navigation buttons work just fine until I press the send button when making another call.
I have installed a couple of new proximity sensors. - Did not fix the issue.
I have tried factory resets and clearing cache. - Did not fix the issue.
I have used the Heimdall One-Click to reflash the phone (did not reflash bootloader). - Did not fix the issue.
Anyone experience this before? Is there a solution? Are there any suggestions on what I might try?

That's very strange. I've never seen that before.
If you are willing to read and try, you could try upgrading to one of the ICS or JB custom ROMs here and see if that helps.

I had this before on stock Gingerbread, I just flashed up to ICS. It pissed me off.

[Q] Home/Return buttons press themselves?

I've had this problem since the first day I got my phone, but it seemed to go away...now it's back with a vengeance. I'm assuming it's a hardware issue...
I have haptic turned on and sound off for button presses. The issue persists regardless of settings. Basically, the phone will randomly receive HOME button presses, while I'm not pressing the button. Insanely bothersome. Has anyone else experienced this behavior?
I did root and flash to the most recent COG, which, fwiw, made google voice act insanely wonky (was showing Google's number as outgoing CallerID, NOT my google voice number), so I had to go back. Interestingly, my RomManager backup WOULD NOT WORK and the phone was freezing on the white ATT World Phone screen. I did manage to fix it with ODIN, but entering download mode was not as easy as described, my button combination wasn't what any other post said it should be.
So this new ROM isn't exactly the same as the original stock rom, and I'm thinking of rerooting and trying something other than Cog, but obviously if I need to return this phone I should do that first. Interestingly, it didn't do the behavior described even ONE TIME when Cog was onboard.

[Q]Keys not working..help needed asap :(

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?

ya i tried wiping it but not working
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.

[Q] Button lights stuck on... is there a fix?

As per subject.
My missus phone is having problems.
The lights for the homr, back, menu and search buttons and also the call and end call buttons lights are constantly on. The stay on regardless of screen brightness, screen on or off or phone locked or unlocked. Also the keyboard lights dont light up at all either.
She doesnt want to factory reset as she will loose everything :/ and she doesnt want the hassle of bavking everything up etc.
Just wondered if anyone had come across this and had a simple fix?
Ive tried pulling the battery and rebooting to no avail. Her phone is completely stock, unrooted and locked just as she bought it.

Might be an app that overrides the system settings? Had this once while I was testing an app that my buddy build... Was fixed after deleting the app...

[Q] no lock screen, notifications not showing, home key doesn't work properly.

I changed out the glass on my phone, shortly after doing this (but not immediately after) my lockscreen started to no longer show up. nothing happens when i press the home button unless the screen is "locked"then it takes me immediately to the home screen. i'm wondering what could cause this issue? i've tried factory reset.
nevermind i switched roms now everything is golden.. hmmm must have been a corrupted file. that seems to happen alot when my downloads are throttled by goo.im when i download over wifi.
i went to look up this issue today as i am having it again. i do the right thing before posting and search for it on the xda forums. And i come across this thread that appears to be EXACTLY what I am having issues with, i go to click on it and what do i see? That it was me that posted it last year.... Why must i fail so much
Can anybody tell me what causes this? This rom never did it before. I did a factory reset and reinstalled CarbonRom d2lte 3/27 which i was running since 3/27 without issue. And now i have this issue?

[Q] sim pin screen problem

can't find this info anywhere but please redirect me to appropriate page if i've missed it.
using android 5.1 DU test-v9.2 on nexus 5 32Gb
this has been stable for a few weeks until i changed themes today. i backedup via cwm up after installing theme, on reboot i can't get past screen for sim pin.
i press the onscreen keys, the keys show they have been pressed, but there is no sound or vibration and the numbers don't appear above the keypad.
as i can't get past this i can't use the phone.
changing to the last good backup does not fix this.
I've had to do a factory format and reinstall to get back to a working phone. Though it occurred to me in the middle of the process i could remove the sim and change the settings back.
anyone know what's going on? I suspect it may have something to do with fonts but have nothing to base that on.
thanks
