Hello dear XDA Users.
I own a Galaxy S6. After a hour of walking in rainy weather, the recents button of my galaxy s6 stopped working. I also noticed that the backlight of recents and back key were also not woking. I immediately thought that it was a hardware problem. I take a look inside the sim tray for water indicatior, however it was still white and there arent any other problems on the device. I also got into the service menu for tests and I couldnt get any feedback from the button.
The funny part starts here:
After I installed Galaxy Button backlight app just to see what will happen if i disable and enable them manually, backlight of the buttons started working again. So I think that It may be a software issue and flashed the stock firmware using Odin, my recents button was still not working.
Are there any methods would you like to suggest me in case of this error being a software problem?
If I can't find a solution, I am going to request a new device from warranty.(which means I am going to be a trouble for them )

Hello everyone, I have just recently bought this Lenovo A5000, everything was perfect until i did a mistake today, just an hour ago. I will list step by step how i encountered the problem below.
1. I did some search on the net about hidden code or secret code for service menu(for lenovo)
2. I found some then i tried this code ####999# then all of sudden the screen changed to multiple [email protected] testing followed by microphone test, then camera test then some other test. It keeps repeating and does not stop.
3.I tried to press whatever key is available along with home menu or multitasking hot key but no avail. It keeps repeating and repeating, Pressing on/off power button also not working.
4. The only things that work is, i was able to scroll down for hidden menu as we do on all android phone. I can go to settings but only settings display etc. I tried to search for the running service test on running programs under the apps menu but nothing. I also tried to press power off/on button here but no avail.(please take note thatthe service test still running at the background during this time).
5.Finally when i tried to close any running systems apps i managed to get into dialling menu. but again i just leave it here because the service test does not seems to work here.
6. Lastly when i look at my phone, it was already black in screen that i believe it was in sleep mode but when i press any button this phone doesnt awake. tried to press the power on/off longer but no avail. unfortunately i cant pull of the battery because it was not removable.
Hopefully anyone of you can suggest me how i can revert it back to normal. Really this is unexpected. I ONLY pressed ####999# and voila [email protected] test started. I appreciate much your help guys. Thanks
NOTE;
I dont know where i get the idea but, as i said above, the phone goes to sleep with no response. What i did a few minutes ago ,
1.Press the power on/off button and keep pressing the volume up several times followed with volume down then release.
Then Lenovo logo comes up, then VOILA! my phone was normal again.
Anyway i will always give a credit to XDA forum for many valuable tips and knowledge that i learned before. Thanks
Hi. Just opened my Christmas present - new S6. However, when i turned it on the phone boots to the opening screen where you select the country but the touch screen doesn't work. The back button, recent app button and home button all work.
I've tried rebooting but same problem.
I've searched the net for a solution but nothing. Anyone have a suggestion or do i have to take the phone to Samsung.?
Thanks
Alan
Yeah I think you got a defective device. Send it back to samsung. Bad luck
Cheers. What a pain in the arse...
I'm not sure if this is an AT&T LG V10 "feature", but I haven't used the phone in its virgin state (non-rooted) because I rooted the phone right away. I have an issue with the AT&T LG V10 with Android 5.1.1, H90010f "10f". Whenever I make a phone call, the home (soft) keys at the bottom of the screen his disabled and hidden from view and the notification status cannot be used, such that swiping down does nothing. I checked the Display > Home touch buttons > Hide Home touch buttons to make sure that nothing is disabled, but nothing there.
Anybody experienced this situation and knows a fix?

It doesn't disappear on the unrooted or rooted version of the phone so I don't think that's the issue. Do you have any Xposed modules installed that may be causing this issue perhaps (i.e. gravity box)?
Thanks for confirming. I think some other whacky things are a result of using Debloater v3.90 to disable stock apps and other apps caused issues with my phone, especially my second screen to become nearly disabled.
I'll most likely do a factory reset tonight since that was indicated to fix the second screen issue, so it'll most likely fix the soft keys disappearing as well.
Update: I did a factory reset and everything is fully functional as originally designed for. This restored the second screen functionality and allowed me to multitask and/or use the notification area while during a phone call.
Hey guys,
strange and frustrating problem. I was using my phone pretty extensively today (although nothing crazy), mostly thanks to Pokemon Go. Tonight after using my phone normally, I went to press the power button to turn the screen off and nothing happened. I was able to reboot (by changing one of the long-press actions to bring up the power menu via GravityBox) and then was unable to power on the phone. It seems like my hardware power button has suddenly become unresponsive. This leaves me unable to power on/off the phone, including booting into the bootloader. Also, I seem to be unable to wake my phone up by double tapping the screen or swiping up.
The phone otherwise functions fine. If I get a notification, the screen wakes up and I can use the phone. Otherwise, the only way I've been able to get into the phone is by connecting it to a computer and issuing ADB commands. The IR blaster functions fine which makes me think it's not the hardware button?
Has this happened to anyone else before? Can the power button just break like that without any water / physical damage? The fact that I also can't wake the screen makes me think it's a software issue. One other thing I suspect is that my phone abruptly died yesterday (battery died despite software thinking it still had juice left). In the past, with the modified kernel / rom, this has resulted in some nasty issues, including 4G not working and the Android system process basically exploding. I thought I lucked out when I powered it on after that, but maybe it just took a day for this issue to manifest itself.
I'm going to make a NANDROID backup and try flashing a few different things to see if I can fix it. I'll post my progress here.
Current build:
- Verizon M8, S-OFF
- TWRP
- Android GPE 6.0 (MRA58K.H13)
Edit: I haven't been able to find a fix. I'm a bit afraid to try a full RUU since I can't use the hardware keys to reboot into the bootloader should something go wrong. It may just be that my PWR hardware button is f'd which really sucks. I'm not sure I'm up to cracking open the phone to fix it. In the meantime I downloaded an app called Gravity Screen On/Off which uses the phone's proximity sensor to wake the screen up and it seems to work ok for now.
I have one SM-G920F s6 flat, one day on 2016 my recent apps work weirdly it keeps press the recent apps and of course I can't use my phone and finally installed all one gesture app to disable my recent button. but there is a problem, my phone is laggy after I do this because my phone keeps press the recent button continually even I disable it.
if I go to service center, is it my screen will be open it? I don;t want that
so anyone knows why this happened? and can I disable it with root or anything to get off my lag on my phone? thank you so much for replying. sorry for my bad English
My guess is liquid damage on the charging port / recent key area causing it to not work properly.
It would have to be opened up to either get the charging port replaced or liquid damage cleaned but the problem is the screen NEEDs to be removed if charging port were to be replaced.
