Touch phones like ours have unresponsive touch keys because it isnt that sensitive like in apple products..and as long as lag is concerned it shouldnt be much... Try contacting service center if it persists any longer

I sent my phone to samsung service center. They said the less sensitivity of the return key may be caused by my screen protector. They asked me to remove it and tried for few more days.
Maybe you also can try it.
Oh i also try it ....... Thanks friend...

yes, the thickness of the screen protector affects the sensitivity..
my phone (S5360) has a quite thick screen protector and it makes the back and menu buttons dont work.. and then magically working again..
my friend has a thin one, and his buttons work well even its covered.
other tip: try cutting your screen protector to fit only the screen. so it dont block the back and menu button.
Confirm this is a problem with this device. Just purchased and without any screen protector there is a noticeable lag. or at times didnt work.
Changed to a new device after going to service center but the problem still persists.
its not responding due to lagging.

sometimes it just because of oil/dust accumulated on the back button screen area, happens on mine most of the time, just try cleaning your screen every now and then

I also have the same problem with mine, and it's been happening since the very first day, with and without screen protector. Looks like the button works best if you touch on its upper left side and not on the middle. Looks like a desing flaw to me.
I've added vibrate to back & menu button. It vibrate when you touch it. Now i know if it is responding or not.

I can also confirm lagging on back key. I just got my brand new (secondary) phone Galaxy Y Duos and I found this lag is annoying. Is there any solution available for this ?

So I purchased my GSM Galaxy Nexus in March of this year thru Amazon. From a Samsung seller, Yapper Wireless.
My power button has suddenly stopped working, don't know why as I can't even remember the last time it's been outside of it's Otterbox. There's no moisture or anything, it's just stopped responding. I've been able to set it up in AOKP so my volume buttons wake the device but it's just a pain to live with.
I call Samsung today since they have a Limited 1 Year Warranty on defective Hardware. Apparently per my IMEI number my Galaxy Nexus is an International Galaxy Nexus, and the only place I can get them to fix the power button is by making an International Call to Samsung Europe and sending the phone to Europe???
The Girl was no help, I'm trying to explain that it's just the power button this is a common issue apparently. Nope gotta make an International call and ship it to Europe.
Anyone else have this kind of issue with repairs for the phone and have possible some kind of workaround getting it repaired with Samsung? Like I said I'm living with it for now but it's just a pain.
Thank you
As an update, I called the Samsung Repair Center in Europe from my work phone since we have international calling. They won't take the phone because I'm in the US and there's potential problems returning the device to me. And Samsung in the US won't fix it because the phone is from Europe.
Well played Samsung.
The paid version of PGM app lets you lock and unlock your screen using swipes on your screen. Have you tried that ?

+1. Highly recommended. My power button isn't dead (yet), but I have to press down on it until it feels like it's underneath the housing to get it to respond. Been like that for a while now, but it hasn't got any worse because I have been using that app. Swipe halfway down the screen from right to left to wake, across the bottom from right to left to lock. If the screen times out a simple tap wakes it back up without locking. You can also customize the gestures so you can swipe it wherever you want. It also has very very very little drain on battery, if any at all. I still consistently get 4hrs screen on time with a 4G connection 100% of the charge, GPS, sync & sometimes Bluetooth ON. Stream Pandora for a bit as well as YouTube, Facebook and XDA browsing. That's getting off topic though. This app will take that pain you're suffering right away. Totally worth it, check out the reviews on play store. PGM Nexus
Apple - Innovating new ways to take your money
Well for now I've set the timeout on the screen to 15 seconds and use the volume buttons to wake it up. I've worked around it already it's just a pain to have it broken and the manufacturer stonewall me on getting it fixed.
My T-Mobile contract is up for renewal right now, looking at the Nexus 4, but it's LG...
Worse case, power buttons are inexpensive and I don't think too difficult to replace. Good luck.
Head on over to the N4 forum and see how others feel about it to get a better decision as to whether or not you want it. Couldn't help you there, haven't visited those forums once yet. However in the meantime I would still look into PGM Nexus. I had the free version from day 1 since I bought the phone. Power button started to die so I bought the full app. Now I couldn't really care less about returning it or getting it fixed. It just works, and well. Sets upon reboots too so you don't have to wake it with the volume keys and then turn it on. It's great lol. I swear by it. Also pretty cool because I chill with a lot of iPhone users and they all thought it was cool how I turn my phone on and off.
Apple - Innovating new ways to take your money
I purchased the PGM Nexus app, works really well and I like it for what I need it for.
But the power button is apparently now working fine after over 24 hours of not functioning. I've had some mild panic attacks over it and it just started functioning again. I'll keep PGM Nexus though, appreciate it.
Hahaha I think your nexus is messing with you.
Apple - Innovating new ways to take your money
I use pgm nexus to turn the screen on and Standby Touch shortcut in my dock to quickly turn the screen off.. I've been using this setup for quite sometime now to save my power button and I really like it.

I recently bought a new note 2, and everything was good and I love it!
But yesterday I was on the phone to a friend and initially I tried putting him on speaker phone, but the screen wouldn't turn on, only the soft touch keys at the bottom lit up. I thought nothing of it and continued my phone call.
It wasn't until he hung up I noticed i still coudn't the damn thing on. So i removed the battery and re inserted it. Here's where things get interesting though, now whenever i try to power it up, i get a little red light in my proximity sensor (i think) that flashes for about half a second.
I've tried soft rest, which does the same thing ( makes the proximity sensor light up for half a second)
Hard reset which does the same thing.
I haven't rooted the phone or anything. Luckily its still under manufacture warranty and I'll get samsung to have a look at it, but any thoughts on what it could be?

Well, I can tell the that the red light is normal, I get that too and its just because its booting up, when you turn your phone on, what happens exactly?
Thanks for the reply. When I press the power button, around a second later the red light blips for half a second and turns off, but the OS doesn't boot up and nothing happens.

Maybe you too.... Sorry that sucks.
This PSA was sent Flow style from my Note 2 N-7100
Now i am really getting worriyng about this, does note2 has started SDS ?
atleast 3-4 cases are reported with same symptoms.
Anyway can you tell
You were on which ROM when this happened?
Are you getting to reboot in recovery/download mod?
@dingokevin I had a read over the thread you linked, and I fear the worst has happened to my note 2. This seems like a serious issue and even a flaw with the motherboard perhaps? Thank the lord it is still under warranty. R.I.P old friend.
@dr.ketan Im not sure what SDS stands for... Yeah I was running stock touchwiz 4.1.1 I think. No modifications and no root what so ever, and nope :/ I tried holding down volume down key + home button + power but no cigar, just the proximity light flashes briefly.
SDS - sudden death syndrome
And if you are unable to get into download/recovery mode then nothing can be done except send it to service station. it highly suggests sudden death which is very known issue for SGS3.
Replying to your query at other thread, you will get motherboard replacement if it is under warranty.
Ahh thats probably whats happened then. Thanks guys, I'll send it off to samsung and have a word or two with them to see why this is happening to many people!
If possible share outcome here too.

I was just reading up on some possible causes here on XDA with peoples S3's and someone suggested corrupted NAND memory.. I think this maybe the case because before the phone call I had installed Gangster Rio (which i honestly did purchase off the play store, hand on heart) and after playing it for a while decided to un install it and get a refund. Could me doing this have caused the NAND memory to corrupt? The game is a pretty large file...

I highly doubt it was screen damage, imho. I only received the phone last friday and have been cradling it like a fragile little baby, Its never been out of my sight lool.
Maybe i just got really unlucky and ended up with a faulty device.
If screen fault then in such case usually you can hear boot up sound. It seems your case very well fits to sds category only.

Hi Guys,
Got up this morning having left my Note 2 turned on and on charge overnight to discover this same fault -
slow flashing Red light and phone totally dead.
Unable to do anything to rectify the situation.
Still under warranty of course, phone only released in October 2012.
Is this a fault with the phone which necessitates replacement or just a battery problem?
Would be grateful for any advice / guidance / help.
Thanks,
Mike Longley.

It seems also like SDS send it to Repair AFAIK is a chip problem, not battery so you can't do anything to repair it. If it is under warranty and with counter at 0 send it. They must repair it.

Just wondering if it's just me or the screen on the Galaxy Tab Pro 8.4 is way too sensitive. When I try to scroll the page (on Google+ for example) I always end up opening something. It makes me not want to use it. It's really frustrating.
I also tried using a stylus (Wacom Bamboo Solo) and the result is the same.
So, is it only me? Is there any solution for that?
I have the same issue using Pulse. It's been good for gaming though. I might try a screen protector and see if it makes a difference.

Depends on what you're coming from.
I found the S4 to be very sensitive at first but that was from the S2 and OneX. The S3 may have been about the same as the S4 for all I know.
It would make sense if it started in Samsung devices when they added the hover function to their devices. They also made them more compatible with gloves around that time.
I doubt the Tab Pro is much more sensitive than the S4 but I don't own one yet.
You'll likely get used to it very quickly like I did.

The sensitivity on my device was extremely off.
I did little research today. I went to Best buy and tested the Tab Pro 8.4 in the showroom, it performed much better than mine, no issues, "normal" sensitivity... (looks like this issue is not affecting all the Tab Pro 8.4 tablets)
I called Samsung support to find out what's going on. I was told to do a reset on the device. I did it through the Samsung recovery - full wipe.
Now everything seem to be "normal". Looks like that solved my problem.
BTW, I'm using HTC One (replaced my old S2)

I have the exact same problem.. The screen is way too sensitive and I hate using this tablet. I wish I could return it. Thought it was just me. A very slight flick and the page zooms to the bottom. sometimes touching the screen causes I to zoom in and out to the places I don't even know where it's going.

Try to do the factory reset and post your feedback after its done.
Do it in the recovery mode.
1. Power down your device.
2. Hold Volume Up and Power at the same time until you see the Samsung logo appear. Then release.
3. In the recovery mode press Wipe Data/Factory Reset.
4. Reboot and wait for few minutes untill everything loads.

My Tab Pro 8.4 has the same problem making it almost completely useless. When scrolling it constantly opens wherever I lift my finger. It's also constantly zooming in & out. I tried the Wipe Data/Factory Reset twice with no resolution. I didn't use it much the first couple weeks as I was waiting to get a case before using it and now it's too late to return it to Best Buy. I wanted to love, it but I find myself never using it now. I also tried adjusting the Press and Hold delay.

After I did the Factory Reset I noticed some improvement, but I'm still not satisfied with it. On top of that I started noticing the digital noise coming from the speakers (reported by other users) when I open a game and mute the sound.
And just like like you, I don't want to hate my $400 device.
I decided to send it to Samsung for repairs. I'm shipping it today.
BTW Best Buy's return/exchange policy sucks!
I went there after 25 days of purchase to ask if I can exchange it and they said:
"no, but you can bring it to the Geek Squad and they will take a look at it for a small charge" :/
We should definitely have more than 15 days to return/exchange faulty device!

Opening those ad pages on websites and opening random videos on youtube is getting really annoying. Samsung needs to provide an update asap. The screen sensitivity makes this tablet useless.
just got my Tab Pro 8.4" 32GB today instead of the Tab Pro 10.1" which i returned.
was a bit nervous about the sensitivity problem. but after playing with it for about 1 hour I can say its perfectly fine..
My 8.4 is the same, way too sensitive.

I have this same issue, too sensitive.
Same problem T325
same issue with hong kong version.
I flashed unofficial cm11, it improved the problem, but it still happens. so I assume this is a hardware related? Then I tried us and china official roms, make the tablet unusable. This is too bad. I want to love this tablet, but samsung just ruined it.
I had the same issue across all 4 devices (multiple exchanges for the speaker issue).
I found that If you install a screen protector it minimizes the problem. So I would give that a go.
I had a black screen of death incident today on my S9.. a hard reboot fixed it (after a Google search).
Samsung users.. is this a major issue? Do I need to get a replacement? I'm near the end of my return period.
Never heard of this until today.. seen some websites down playing it..
Any advice?
