[Q] [HELP] Issue with "back button" soft key - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My back button soft key randomly freezes while I am in an application. I have to end up using the home button or multitask key to get out of the application and then everything goes back to normal. Anyone having this issue with the back key not responding every so often? I am currently running 4.4.1 with franco kernel on stock rom. I am also using greenify, but don't believe it's the one causing the problem. I have searched around and haven't found anyone else with the issue on the nexus 5

[Q] Random Clicking on Samsung Galaxy S

Hi there,
I seem to be having a problem with random clicking on my phone.
The other week, my phone was making phonecalls to people without my permission. On the same day, everytime I pressed the home key, it would open up contacts, select the fifth contact down, and try and delete it. This wasn't a lag issue because of pressing on the screen while it was frozen, this happened everytime the home key was pressed.
Today I also had this random clicking problem on SMS messaging. It started when I was pressing the backspace button to delete text. It would keep pressing the enter key about 5 times everytime I pressed the backspace.
The only fix I have found is turning the phone off and on again.
My phone is currently running a custom rom and is rooted, but it was happening even when my phone had stock firmware and was unrooted.
Has anyone had this issue or know how to fix this?
I would rather find a fix for this rather than take it into T-Mobile as obviously my phone is rooted and theres a chance my warranty is void.
Thanks in advance.

backup and try factory resetting the phone if that doesnt work then just take it to a sprint store if you factory reset it you might as well take it when its not rooted

[Q] G2X constantly going Back or to Home Screen. Any ideas?

Hey,
A few days ago my G2X started acting pretty weird. It keeps going back to the home screen, or to an in app menu on it's own. So I'll be in the app drawer, and all the sudden it will close back to the home screen. Or I'm playing FieldRunnersHD, and the game just closes out to the home screen (as if I pressed the home button). Or if I'm playing AngryBirds it will go to the pause screen (as if I pressed the back button). Or if I'm playing Hex Defense it will go to the menu (also as if I pressed the back button). It happens about once every 2-3 minutes. I am running rooted stock and very confused. I'll I've tried is restarting the phone, I've got no idea what else to try. Anybody have any ideas?

Have you tried to do a master reset and then re-root the phone? Usually that will do the trick but even I'm kinda still getting used to the G2X. It worked for me.
It suddenly started happening to me as well but its only when I'm using the browser. I'm unrooted so I'm sure rooting is not the issue..

soft keys problem

hi. my soft keys on desire s starts to behave very strange. i thought that it was only problem in one rom, but now it appears in every rom which i flashed. so basically when i hold phone without touching anything except side and back body it is sometimes like i pushed home or search soft key. also back soft key button is big problem, when i push it it works as back,home and search button. any idea what might be problem? or should i just send phone to repair?

Is anyone having problems with the home button? Sometimes when the phone is off for about 5+ minutes and I want to wake it up, I have to press the home button twice or maybe a couple of times.
I've noticed some other people are having this problem also, i'm just wondering if anyone found a fix?
Its been a problem all along. There is currently no fix and no telling when it may get fixed.

[Q] Back button freezes and becomes unresponsive in all apps

My Nexus 5 has been experiencing this issue for months now. It happens in all apps (especially Facebook, WhatsApp and Jeffit). I press the back button and it freezes, meaning I can't press anything other than the home button to exit the app. This will then repeat itself time and time again until I eventually turn the phone on and off. This will solve the issue for a few minutes until it starts again.
I tried factory reset and it was fine for a short while and then began again. I've tried to see what app it could be, but from Google searches it seems like other people have it too and no one has a solution? There didn't seem to be a thread on it on XDA so wanted to see if anyone has managed to fix it?
I haven't got anything custom on my phone and it isn't rooted. It's so frustrating and it's ruining and otherwise flawless experience with the Nexus 5. I'm pretty sure it started after the Kit Kat update.
