I have encountered some strange issues with Galaxy R during the past few days. The first issue is when I plug in my headphones when the phone is idle (i.e. screen off) the menu key often fails to wake it up. Only the power button wakes it up. Sometimes, it wakes up but after a greater than normal delay This happens only when earbuds are inserted when screen is off.
Secondly, sometimes my touch screen and capacitive buttons loose their sensitivity for a couple of seconds (say about 10 seconds) and then come back to normal. The menu and power button works fine but the touch controls are lost.
Has any of you encountered the same? Please comment. Thank you!
Mine Galaxy R doesn't have any of this. I'm on 2.3.4 and you? I think its a defect. And where you wrote this:

I think that is normal because you cant unlock the phone by using the back or menu button.
Hello everybody,
I have an annoying problem, I am running seans jelly bean 4.0t Rom with the latest update. My issue is when I press my power button once from an off screen state, the screen turns on, shows the power down menu, and then the screen goes black and I get the phone vibrating at every two second intervals. I can do a hard reboot from this point by holding the power button down for ten seconds and the phone will reboot. I have worked around this issue by using the wake screen with volume button feature, but I would like to be able to use my power button again. It does this problem everytime I press it once, it even does it after a clean flash with wiping everything 3x. Has anyone run into this issue before? I have searched for a problem like this, but haven't found any like this. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advanced
Hi guys,
I have a peculiar issue. My nexus 5 displays the battery when charging when off, the android appears when selecting recovery etc. when power button and down volume button are pressed, and the phone when turned on displays the lights twirling and then the android symbol. So the phone appears to be fully functioning. After the word android disappears and the phone has started up there is no further display. However if I press the power button the 'turn off phone'will appear in the middle of the screen.
Has anybody any idea what the issue could be. I put the logic board in to another nexus and the same issue occurred. My thinking would be to reflash the phone?
Thanks for any input
Hi guys, I just got a uleFone U007, and having a black screen problem.
The thing is that, after every few hours when I press the power button to unlock the phone, the screen stays black .
I am able to blindly unlock it by swiping on the screen, and I can feel that the screen in responding in background.
The navigation buttons are also responding (phone vibrates on touch).
However the screen still says black. And if I restart it (keep power button pressed), the screen is coming back, but again, only for few hours.
Do you know of any solutions for that? For me it seems like a software issue rather then a hardware problem. A GUI crash...
Also if any ideas on how to further investigate that will be helpful.
Thanks

Are you on the latest update? is your phone rooted?
Hi Ive had the Galaxy S8 about slightly more than a week, and Im facing this recurring issue whereby the pressure-sensitive home button starts to take light taps as heavy presses, and on some occasions when i turn off the screen, it turns on by itself thinking that I made a hard press. I can feel it as the vibration motors are activated. I tested it using *#0*#, but it works perfectly fine there. Anyone else facing these issues? Can anyone tell me if this is a hardware fault or software?
I've just witnessed it turned phone off and back on and back to normal now had over a week only known this happen once about an hour ago
Never seen it turn on my accident, but it does glitch out sometimes. At times it can register a touch as a hard-press, and it does the double vibration every time I touch the home button. This is fixed with a screen off - screen on switch though, so not a problem for me, and I haven't experienced it after the new update
Got myself the S8 secondhand and while it looks immaculate, I also have this problem. At times the pressure sensitivity doesn't work at all, sometimes it will go through periods of immediately pressing and depressing, and sometimes it'll register a soft press of the home button as a hard press.
Think this is a hardware error? I've tried this in Ultra Power Saving mode and without my case on, and it's always repeatable.

I'm having the double vibration when I hard press the home button problem. It's a hardware problem? And how to fix it? I didn't understand the screen off - screen on switch solution

Double vibration? Isn't that what is meant to happen? The first vibration when pressing down simulates a real physical button being pushed down, and the second vibration when lifting your finger simulates you releasing the physical button. It's meant to happen, and it's not a hardware or a software problem.
What I meant with screen off - screen on solution is simply turning the screen off, and turning it back on again. It fixes a problem that occurs to me at times, where the double vibration happens every time I tap the virtual home button. Normally it's only meant to happen when pressing the virtual home button forcefully, not on light taps where no pressure is applied.
If the phone is in standby, with display turned off, if you double press the home button, or you keep it pressed, the phone will get back to phone mode with emergency call only. How to disable that damned festure? ?
