My home button is bugged, the fingerprints works well, the 1 click home works, the 2 click camera launch works, the long click for assistant is the one who is bugged, it opens the assistant but it close instanly when i release the button, also if i keep the button long pressed for a long it opens the camera, and when my device turn off the screen if i wake up with the home button it sends me to home instead of only turn on the screen.
This is very annoying, some help pls.

I'm having an issue with my Nexus 5 after the 5.0 updates. I'm currently on 5.0.1 but had the same issue with 5.0. My device is completely stock. Just never felt like doing anything to the nexus 5. First phone I decided not to root. The issue i'm having is that every once in a while during a day I will try to turn on my phone to view any notifications or just refresh some news sites. Instead of getting the lock screen and hearing the unlock click to slide, i'm taking right to the home screen bypassing the slide to unlock. All applications at this point will glitch. For example, if i open hangouts, it will open but be blank. Spotify might open, or just be a dark gray screen. Other apps just behave very strangely. If I try to press the home button, it lights up and won't do anything. If i press the multi-task button it looks like it will show the running apps but then just shows a blank screen. If I press the back button many times, it takes me back to the home screen which might or might not be blank. The only way around this is to reboot my phone. But this is happening a few times a day. Often, i'll also see the home button and multi task button disappear. I've taken two screen shots of what it looks like. Has anyone ever seen this issue? I don't mind downgrading back to 4.x or rooting for a custom rom if that will resolve this glitch. I can also provide a list of installed apps if anyone wants to know. So what do you guys think of this?
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 )
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...
An hour or so ago everything worked fine, and then I updated my playstores pending apps (only Fleksy was pending) and the "force touch" feature of the phones seems to have completely stopped working, no matter what setting I turned on or off it didn't work...
Anyone has a clue as to what can cause this?
General notes:
1. Using stock Exynos unlocked variant
2. I am using package disabler (which btw didn't improve much my battery life, but that might be just me using the phone too much ) so maybe one of the packages decided that it depends on a disabled one?
I noticed mine stops working after a reboot and takes about a minute or two to get back up and running. Try a restart after clearing caches, if nothing still, reboot in safe mode. If it works, then its an app you installed interfering.

Mine also stop working after I restart my S8 Plus, it will again work if I wait around 20 minutes. Is this software or hardware problem? Any solutions?
Wish mine would stop working permanently! can't stand that feature forever brushing across it and waking the phone up!

How does it act up on your part? Mine would just stop working if I restart the phone & I should wait sometimes hours before it would work again.
Every time i'm installing my phone in my car mount I need to hold the phone from the bottom to install it correctly and brushing my fingers across the bottom is constantly waking the phone up, I've lowered the sensitivity to it's minimum.

I see, problem is not the same. On my part the tactile home button simply doesn't work when you press on it. I have to double tap to wake the phone when on lockscreen.

Unless your phone is unlocked no pins etc the phone will just go to the lockscreen, it's a useless feature, most people have the phones locked and thus it's a complete waste of time, it sounds to me the capacitive home button part of the screen was an afterthought because they couldn't install the fingerprint reader under the screen, just had a software update yesterday and still can't turn it off, basic stuff Samsung should enable an ON/OFF toggle switch for this.
Had the same problem with my S8 Plus India Variant(SM-G955 FD), I got my screen replaced from service center, Device was not rooted back then, so was under warranty.
But it is an hardware issue, as since then it has never gone off.
I mean when I press the home button hard it doesn't wake the phone up & no vibration. It happens when I restart the device then it would stop working for few minutes to a few hours sometimes, then it would start working again normally until I restart the phone again. I think this is just a software issue.
Over the last couple weeks, I sometimes had the problem, that the S7 would just reboot randomly, sometimes multiple times in a row, after freezing for a few seconds first. It seemed to get better when I switched it off for some time and let it rest before rebooting.
Now yesterday it started crashing and rebooting again. But it would only go up until the lock screen, while being quite laggy. Sometimes I could swipe away notifications before it crashed, sometimes not even that. When I typed in the password, it crashed at the latest. Then, later, it would barely show the lock screen before crashing, only scaling up the brightness in steps, again very laggy.
Today, I can't even get the phone to the lock screen. After the Samsung and Galaxy S7 logos, the screen would go black (also, when the Samsung logo starts appearing for the first time in this drawing motion, it only draws a little party of the first "s" before freezing for some time). If I touch the home button (and sometimes the power button), the soft buttons would light up (but only once, if they go dark and I press again, nothing happens). But no lock/ start screen whatsoever.
What I tried so far: hard reboot, wipe cache partition, factory reset, both combined. Tried flashing TWRP to get some more options, but it doesn't let me due to this fap lock.
Also, I can only get into recovery mode by pressing power + down + home, then in download mode selecting the restart option, and then applying power + up + home.
Had anyone had this problem before, or any tips what else I could try?
Flash stock with ODIN 3.12.3 or newer?
I will try flashing 6.1 or 7.0 and report back whether it worked.
It didn't work. Though now, sometimes, when tapping the screen it seems to recognize button presses. Also, the voice assistant keeps randomly bursting phrases.

If flashing a new firmware with ODIN doesn't cure the problem then it's most likely a hardware problem.
Dammit. Since the back has a crack, I doubt they'd repair it... Thanks anyways!

Yep unfortunately it sounds like a hardware problem, did you use CSC with the other 3 firmware files?
CSC = Factory reset after flashing (Use this one)
HOME_CSC = No reset
You could try checking the "Repartition" box in ODIN options tab to ensure a clean flash
Make sure you use ODIN 3.12.3 or newer too

Voice assistant is not enabled by default, which sounds like something is pressing either the screen or buttons to activate the setting
Which could also be a reason why nothing else responds properly, imaging holding your finger on the screen, then using your other hand to try and use the phone
Possible the digitizer (touch panel) across the screen is damaged, or possible that a button(s) are damaged and permanently pressed in
