So here's my scenario, I let a friend of mine borrow my phone for a couple of hours for work and ever since he returned it my 4 capacitive buttons have been acting up, my menu button presses itself it seems and I cannot hold down the home button to review my recent apps or access the task manager because my phone reboots itself . I do not know what he did or if he messed around with it but according to him he didn't do anything. Is there anyway anyone can help me remap the buttons to stock? Any help is appreciated, Thank You!

Maybe liquid damage?

I'd try an odin to factory reset and see if it's software related. If its still acting up after a reset then it'll be a hardware problem.

I think its software related because my search button vibrates once on press and then it vibrates again on release, do any of you guys know how to remap the buttons?

If you're not rooted, have you tried doing a reset?
phone settings > privacy > factory data reset
will wipe your data but agree with the earlier posters... if doing a factory reset doesn't fix it, it's probably a hardware issue (perhaps water damage).
Are you running maddogins lockscreen mod?

Time to tell your friend to buy you a new phone!
Sounds like LD. Try the reset if you can, and hope for the best.

I've done a hard reset a couple of times and the problem is still there. I'm starting to think it is hardware related, the weird thing is that I've had the phone since it was released and it never gave me these problems until recently..

What about cleaning the entire glass really well? Maybe an oily smudge causing issues?
Did u figure it out yet? I certainly wouldn't be letting my friends borrow my phone again.

I just got a new sgs2 thru a warranty exchange, but for some reason this one doesnt have a lockscreen. I press the power button and It just opens to my homescreen, also when I hold the power button it just shuts down instead of giving me the lil options of shutting down, airplane, etc. will installing a ROM fix these issues or do I gotta get a new one again?? Thanks

Yes a new rom should clear this up np. the rom im using actually gives you the option to remove the lockscreen all together. the prior user of your phone must have removed the lockscreen.... Either that or they have some shady software program that restores the phones at tmobil.

I wonder if Widget Locker alone is enough to fix your problem.
Hi everyone, I have a completely stock GSIII on I747UCLH9 and the back and menu buttons only light up when I start the phone. They function fine when I manage to hit them but it's getting annoying hunting for them. Anyone else have the problem? Anyone know how to fix without a factory reset? Will factory reset even fix it? Thanks, Jeff.

They dont stay lit all the time... They go off after a few seconds after using them, or waking the phone...
Well mine don't light up at all after the OS is loaded.

I mistook your first post as saying they light up when you use them... and what OS loading, you said it's stock... You mean after it's booted?
Reflash the stock ROM to rule out a SW issue, if they still don't work, bring the phone back...
The idea here is that I don't want to do a factory reset. And I definitely don't want to put any roms on it since it's going back to the store if I can't solve this.

Good question... Take over for me please, I ran stock for all of an hour... You can provide better assistance...
It was set always off. I'm not really surprised that the people at Samsung said factory reset. It seems like every company I've ever bought a phone from use that suggestion instead of actually helping. I will be hitting your thanks button.

Hey all I have a question about recovery on my GS2. My question is my phone wont power on due to a black screen and constant vibrating. It happened to me twice now and the first time I was able to fix it. My question is I made a recovery on my phone after I fixed it and I called t-mobile tonight and they are going to send me a replacement phone. My question is I have a backup and I was wondering if I could take that backup and restore to it on my new phone???
It SHOULD work. No guarantee though.

i think you can do a factory reset. it's in settings.
Yes, you can erase all info. Just wipe it all. Factory reset...cache....system...dalvick...etc. Your phone will be squeaky clean :fingers-crossed:
I cant power on the phone or get into recovery.
Holding power button and both up and down volume buttons don't work either? I mean hold all 3 at the same time.

Alright so recently I've gotten rid of all custom roms and gone with stock GB27 because I wanted better battery life with my phone. My phone is not rooted or anything at the moment.
However, the other day I did root again and since then my phone started being really weird. I stayed on stock GB27 and just did root so that I could keep the really good battery life but still be on JB. After root I noticed that my phone doesn't register power button presses the same. Sometimes if I just tap the power button it accepts it as me holding it and brings up the power menu asking if I want to turn off, etc. or it just won't respond at all. If it doesn't respond, I press it again hoping it will respond, but then it just reboots after I press it like 3 times hoping for the screen to turn off.
It's really irritating when I can't unlock my device or turn off the screen, especially when the phone turns on and off perfectly if I want it to. I have no issues being able to turn the phone on if it is completely off, it's only when the phone is on that I have these problems. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Hello there. Today I noticed a strange problem with my NOTE 2. It does not POWER OFF, instead it RESTARTS. I also tried pulling battery out and re-inserting. Without pressing power button, it automatically turns on. Checked the power button, its very much okay.
My phone is totally at STOCK.
Can someone tell me, what could be the PROBLEM?
