I had factory reset my phone. Now after reboot it doesn't show any app . it is just a blank screen with 3 touch buttons at bottom as usual. The home button at center is not working so I cannot access any app. I tried installing nova ,still no hope. Tried resetting again but its all the same. Can some one help
Odd issue. Can you wipe data for your launcher?

I downloaded a new iphone clone home screen on my Touch Diamond and after I selected it to be my home screen, nothing will load. I can see the start menu, calendar and contacts soft keys, but I can't press them. My phone just sits on the loading screen (the 4 color dots). Is there anyway around this?
I'm ok with doing a hard reset too, but I can't get that to work either...
What kind of phone do you have? A soft reset should work
I've got a Touch Diamond cdma. A soft reset just brings me back to the problematic home screen
When I do a long press to move or delete an app/icon on the home screen, nothing happens - no wobble or options - nothing. They did flash momentarily when I first got the phone. I am also unable to move apps or widgets from the app menu. However, touch seems to work just fine for everything else. I have done a full device reset, a general reset, and have tried different launchers. Any suggestions? This is android 4.2.2 and the phone is rooted. Probably hardware but am hoping. Has anyone run across this?
Seemingly out of the blue earlier today, both my home button and recent apps button stopped working properly. The home button works when the phone is locked to wake, and fingerprint sensor unlocks, but when the screen is on it is useless. The recent apps button lights up and vibrates when touched, but does nothing. Anyone else experience this problem?

Try going to recovery mode and wipe cache.

A recently installed App must be causing this. Wipe the cache and if it doesn't help try in Safe mode.
Going to safe mode:
1. Power off the phone.
2. Hold the volume down button and then press the power button till the homescreen boots up.
If the issue doesn't happen in safe mode, try uninstalling the recent apps you have installed to save yourself from doing a factory reset.

Wiping the cache and safe mode didn't do it. I also went through the play store recently added/updated apps and removed them. That did not do anything either. So I ended up going through with a factory reset and that did the trick. The problem occurred around the time I installed a pair of apps from the Galaxy Apps store. I installed the Car Mode and the Soundboard apps. I went in an uninstalled them, but there may have been something extra installed with the Car Mode app that was still causing issues. In any event, thanks for the suggestions and to anyone in the future, just stay away from the Galaxy App store. We all know there really isn't anything worthwhile in there anyway.
Thanks for the help and suggestions.
I have the exact same problem right now! The home and revents button are useless. I installed car mode and deleted it because it didn't want to start on my galaxy sy edge+...
Just encountered the same problem with my S7, factory reset fixed it. For anyone else that encounters this problem and finds their way here: it was Car Mode that caused this problem, DO NOT INSTALL IT. Thank you for creating this thread.
Hey friends,
I got a problem.
As first my K1 (nonLTE) is stock and not rooted.
I played on my screen in console mode and the tablet seemed to be freeze.
I unplugged the cable and nothing happend. bothe screens stayed black.
okay I held the powerbutton for a few seconds and i was able to reboot but now i do have a problem.
the home and multitask buttons are missing and i can only swipe down the notification bar once ... so it shows the first line of icons and if i swipe down again, nothing happens.
does anyone have an idea to fix this without loosing data?

Wiping whole device and putting it to factory state usually fixes everything. Regarding data recovery, before wiping you can use Helium app, it can backup apps with their data (make backup on SD card, not on internal storage). After wipe / restore, just install Helium again and restore all apps you want.
okay thanks, i`ll try it tomorrow
Out of the blue, my touchscreen has stopped responding. Tried rebooting many times, always asks for the PIN after the reset, which I can't input since the screen isn't working. I've tried booting into Safe Mode and still no touch response, and rebooting from recovery mode didn't make a difference. I really don't want to hard reset my phone, but I can't find any other ideas anywhere online. Any help? Everything is stock, craziest thing I do is use Nova Launcher.
