[Q] Q....Help req with misbehaving home screen softkey - Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone assist with this small problem I have after manually updating my XT1034 with the 4.4.4. Canadian retail files. Everything seemed to update OK, still have root - busybox is installed correctly - I still have my custom philz touch recovery - all the apps are there (as I was updating manually all I erased was "cache" I didn't erase "userdata") and all the apps (apps and games) that I have tried work as they should. In "settings" the "Android Version" is shown as 4.4.4 and the "System Version" is shown as 210.12.41.
OK so this is what 's wrong..... My 3 softkeys at the bottomof the screen are still there but only the Left one (previous screen) and the Right one (recent apps) are working, the Middle one (home screen) does nothing!..... the app locker button works correctly and you can chose the widgets as you should be able to.... I have done a normal reboot several times but things don't change.
Anyone any clues as to how to get my home screen button working?

I'll just BUMP this one time in case anyone can come up with an answer

Menu button does not work with CM10 or cm based roms

Hi there,
my HTC One S (ville) fall down and the display was broken completely.
I bought myself a new a one and have build it in. While replacing the screen I screwed the Flex cable which is responsible for the hardware buttons at bottom (and the sound however).
I also got a new flex cable and replaced the old one.
1) Problem
When I restart my phone the buttons at the bottom work, until I get into lockscreen. After that they won't work anymore, I don't know why. (Only restart helps, again they work only until I got into lockscreen).
2) Workaround-Problem
So, as a workaround a decided to install CM10 to use the navigation bar (I set qemu.hw.mainkeys=0 in prop.build before I flashed the rom).
Now I have the problem with the menu button. The 3-dot menu button shows up but has obviously no function. When I click on it nothing happens - I can't access any settings menu in apps.
I tried also Virtual Button App - either there the menu function does not do anything.
Of course I rooted my phone etc...
Is there something special with the HTC ONE S and the menu button function?
Thanks very much in advance,
Maik

[Q] Help! cannot access apps in app drawer

I did a long press on the home button on my D2G to view the recently used apps. Now, I cannot get the app drawer to display my apps. Whenever I press the app drawer icon, it takes me to the recently used apps screen. How do I get back to seeing my apps in the drawer? I've tried the back button, long-pressing the home button again, and the menu button, re-booting the phone, wiping cache in stock recovery (cannot launch Droid 3 bootstrap recovery due to problem with the App drawer) but nothing seems to work! The phone has been rooted and band-unlocked (I am not sure if this has any bearing on the problem, but just wanted to mention it).

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Did you get this sorted out yet? Are you using the stock launcher or a custom launcher (like ADW or GoLauncher)? Try something, download a custom launcher from the Play store. See if you can see the app drawer using it's own icon on the dock.

[Q] Restore ZTE Blade s6? Also many problems

Hi,
I'm having many issues with my Blade S6.
Home key stopped working, unable to hold down and switch apps, no notifications appearing. I re downloaded the latest update in hope i would just be able to manually update but it promts "update package is not matching, please checK'
I did a factory reset from the os and recovery and still the same problems exist.
Any suggestions?
Long press on home will start google now, long press on menu button will start recent apps. For update, you are doing something wrong, but we need more info...
Try reading this topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3018031 and use it for all questions.
Yes it has previously been working fine with those actions. Also now I can't bring down the toggle bar from swiping down from the top. Also I get no lock screen even though I set a password.
I have attached a screenshot of the update error. Maybe its a build prop error...my blade is from Australia

Home and app switcher buttons stopped working

Nexus 6 - stock Android
Android 7.0
Not rooted
Rebooted the phone when the phone seemed hung up. The notifications, home and recent buttons (The circle and square buttons) stopped working after the reboot. Only back button is working. The buttons are registering key press, but just no action. The notifications don't work too. When I draw down , it says no notifications. I can't enable the cellular data as well, and Google ID doesn't sync. In short only voice features (calling & text) work.
Interesting,but may not be notable ,is when the phone was rebooted and these functions we're lost, vibrate on key press was enabled.(which wasn't the case before)
I gather through research here that complete reset will help. I can't backup the device (due to sync failure) nor copy files through USB (don't see the notification to enable data transfer option when I plug in USB). Therefore hoping for alternative option than complete reset.
Appreciate the help. Thanks in advance.
Update
Want to add that I tried to clear cache for Google and other apps , delete and add account with no luck. The last sync time is just before the issue started.

Question Home and recent app gesture not working on Android 13

Hi, I received yesterday the latest update LE2113_11_F16 on my oneplus 9 in italy, I update from old version and find all my app and configuration but I can't use anymore home and recent app gestures ( while back gesture works ).
I tried:
-Switch to touch button instead gesture, but same issue home and recet app button not working
-Install a different laucher
-cancel data fo laucher app
The interface show touch event on the botto bar it move on the screen when drag, or the buttons show the shadow when pressed, but nothing happen, a little search show the similar issue happenend on old update too, main solution is hard reset of the phone, but someone can help me if there is another way, maybe cancel data of a system app the manage gesture
Hard reset and completely new setup , all work in the right way but I'm sure that there is a way to fix this issue after update without waste time in a new install of the phone
