Capacitive menu button activating by itself

So a few times a day my phone will start bugging out, vibrating and the same menu that would pop up if you pressed the menu button would come up. I find it pretty weird, I can't reproduce it but it comes and goes.

This kinda sucks because I have a feeling it's a hardware issue, I'm over my 14 days and I'm scared that I might get a phone with LOS. Damn I thought I almost got away with a problem free epic.......

Same is happening to me, I made a thread about it and no help, might be a hardware issue.

tonight mine freaked out a little bit but not exactly the same as yours. My phone appeared to freeze up for a few seconds and then anytime I pressed any of the capacitive buttons the voice talk app would say "what would you like to do?" I had to reboot it to get it to stop.

I Google's it a bit and it looks like others have this issue as well. It used to only happen once a day but lately it's more often. Issue seems to be getting worse. I know for sure tho when I bring it to sprint it won't happen at all and I'll have to argue with them.

Well front desk girl almost ate this phone.... I felt kinda bad abt it afterwards.. Repair guy stayed behind the glass window... So after some pressure, they decided it was a hardware issue with the touch screen, an replaced the phone.

Yea, I get this issue every now and then. Some of the ROMs give me less frequency, but it always seems to happen again.

congrats on getting a replacement. unfortunately, im outside my 14- and 30-day period so i suppose im stuck with this issue

anyone with any more info on this? Mine starting doing this recently.
Factory Reset was a no fix.

This started happen to me too, my home button gets "stuck" when i press the power it would take a screen shot. I hope its not a hardware issue, i really baby my phone. I am calk rom 2.0. Also i belive samsungs warrenty should cover it for free.

New screen problems

So I just got my phone a few days ago and while browsing the web I noticed my screen sometimes loses color? Like it goes black and while lines like a static from a tv. Not that bad but it is getting worse. Should I return the phone or what? Is this the same problem with lines and blobs everybody else is having?

Your the first person I have heard have this issue. Best thing to due is return it back to stock if you have modded it and get it replaced. Something is wrong with your phone and should definitely be replaced.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

are you sure maybe it's not the AutoBrightness acting up?
try with auto brightness disabled

Would that cause it? I usually have my brightness on high though, which it was at the time.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

this is definitely a new and unique, almist certainly, hardware fault. Reset factory settings and return.

Sounds like he's mistakenly referring to the known "checkerboarding" issue in the stock browser as black & whites lines from a TV...
Just my two cents..

No, that would not cause it. The symptom of that issue is fluctuating brightness not color dropping out. The problem could be a bad video connector or cable in the phone, or a bad display panel. Take it back while you can.

Make sure that it is your phone and not the app or game you're playing that is faulty.
There is enough hate in the world. Why can't we all get along here ...?

I had this problem on my vibrant SO MUCH (like maybe 15 texts per day did this). Then I had it on my Galaxy S 4G (less but still alot). Now I rarely have it on my Galaxy S 2. No idea what could cause this issue but it seems to be getting better down the generations lol

I've had only about.......5 since I got my phone.

Yes, lately I've been getting alot. Mostly while im on my wifi calling is on.

on my galaxy S 2, it might happened maybe 3-4 times since the 3 months I've had the phone

Yup.
Happens to me on a frequent basis. I have a launch release GS2 and it seems to happen to me on a frequent basis. I'm not sure what it is but it also happens a lot when it's converted to mms. I hope this gets fixed with ICS.

Phone won't boot, vibrates

I cannot turn on my phone at all, the Samsung logo comes up, screen blacks out and the phone just vibrates once every couple of seconds. If I'm lucky the phone will sometimes boot up but freezes and turns back off. It's nearly impossible for me to boot into recovery and do anything as the phone shuts off seconds later. Anyone have any advice, I've looked all over and only found one other person with this problem and no fix

Are you doing the combo correctly, release power after vibrate continue holding volume keys? Did you drop the phone causing this? Try pulling battery first then try recovery

yeah, that thread had helpful info. i tried the one guy's suggestion of gently working a tiny flat-head screwdriver around the power button, and it fixed my issue.
hopefully it won't come back too often, but at least i know what it is (faulty power button) and can send it in for repairs if need be. at this point, i'm just relieved i have another chance to backup my data!

well, the issue came back, and working a screw driver around the button isn't solving the problem. it'll go away for a very short period of time, and then come back.
more recently, i've started losing settings for open apps when the phone reboots randomly. freaking awesome. just lost my handcent settings, and can't figure out where the config file/db is so i can restore it from a backup. looks like i'll have to spend another hour or more fully customizing the blasted thing again.

Its gotta be a bad motherboard I had same issue and Samsung warranty it out and fixed it for free or you can find em on eBay i just bought a used one for 90 and works perfect
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using xda premium

Power button could be stuck again. I fixed mine my flicking it with my finger every second and finally my phone would start up again. Guess screw driver would have been easier, haha. Would work for a month then the same issue would start again. Do you happen to use a D30 case?

High pitch rattling during vibration. Normal?

Hey guys, I'm having an issue where when the phone vibrates, there is a high frequency rattle that comes with it. I am wondering if this is just the nature of the phone or theres something wrong with it. Care to share anybody?
Other than that, this phone is amazing!

That's fortunate for you. I plan on keeping mine for awhile though.
I feel it might be on all devices. When I shake the device, I can hear, I think, the auto focus shaking. The rattling might be a product of the auto focus shaking with the phone which is okay with me. I just dont want it to be loose pieces bouncing around in my phone.
