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.
Anyone else have their screen wake up for no reason randomly? Happens at least a couple of times an hour for me - screen wakes up as though I've hit the power key, but I haven't, the phone will just be sitting flat on my desk. No notifications, no nothing.
Stock, rooted....no Lightflow, no SmartStay, etc.
Thanks!
Does anyone else get this issue:
Sometimes, when I try to unlock my phone, the screen remains black. Sometimes the capacative buttons light up, but not all the time. Double tapping doesn't turn the screen on, pressing the power button doesn't turn the screen on.
I just press and hold the power button when it happens to make the phone restart, and then it starts optimizing all the apps on start up as well. This has happened 3-4 times in the last day. Very annoying. Any ideas how to fix this would be much appreciated!
Hi folks,
I'm not sure what is causing this. But my OPO seems to freeze sporadically after unlocking the phone. I'll swipe my pattern, the home screen will appear, then only the on-screen back button will appear (the home and right-most button will not appear). At this point, the phone is completely unresponsive, or rather maybe the touchscreen panel is no longer registering any inputs on my part. The screen would still time-out normally. However, pressing the power button will not wake it up, and the only way to recover the phone will be to long-press the power button until it reboots.
The frustrating thing about this is that it happens intermittently. I can never predict when it will occur, or what triggers it.
Can anyone provide any insight on how to fix this?
I'm running a completely stock OPO. Version 5.1.1. COS version 12.1 YOG4PAS3JL.
Thank you in advance!
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? ?
