You know when you swipe from the software key(the three buttons the bottom), Google search should launch?
Well, whenever I pull up from the keys, nothing happens. I restart my phone and it works for ~1 hour and it doesn't work again!
Sooo... I haven't proved it but I'm pretty sure it was because I was clearing my cache.
Mods, you can lock this thread.
Has anyone else had the home button stop working? It has happened to me twice and a reboot restores it. I'm running the stock US Unlocked but rooted RUU.

I've got the same problem. It worked after a reboot when I first got the phone. I put it in extreme power saver mode the next night and when I went back to standard mode my home button wouldn't work. I'm running everything stock, I'm on T-Mobile, I've tried updates, reboots, and a factory reset. Nothing has worked. I read a thread about an older HTC phone that said clearing the cache on HTC Sense worked for them but that didn't help for me either.

Best thing to do is to send it back for service. In my country (Belgium) HTC has great service. The sooner the better!
I've figured it out. How to fix the finger scanner /home button.
Start in your settings.
Then to apps. In apps hit the soft key in the top right corner of the screen. A new window will open up. Tap "show settings" this will show finger scanner app. Scroll down and tap on that app. Now tap "force stop". After this back out to home screen and restart your phone.
This should fix the problem. I had the same issues with my HTC 10. The scanner/home pad not working at all and no longer showing up in the "settings". I tried calling HTC customer care and did a hard reset..... 4x plus did a complete wipe and recovery. But that wouldn't fix the issue as well. So the other day I followed the top description. Now it works with no glitches.
Hope this helps you out.

Thank you so much, worked like a charm!
Edit: WORKED like a charm for boot up and a few minutes, but then stopped again. I assume I have a software interference issue...
Help
I also have this problem now both my home and finger sensor stopped working. I did a factory reset it worked for a bit and it stop working again. Please help.
Hi,
Similar thing happen to me but instead of the finger print my back button and recent app button stop working. The problem starts after i turn on the extreme power server and turn back off. I have tried hard reset and it will only work for few hours and then the same issue comes up. But i have notice if i open google maps both buttons work. I have not rooted the phone. Dose anyone knows how to fix this issue?.
OS : 6.0.1
Build: 1.95.401.4
Did you try to rescan your fingerprint from different positions. And another thing when used to fingerprint. Do you use smartlock setting? I mean maybe it detects you are in a trusted area and you do not even need to unlock it with fingerprint? Then it just shows the lockscreen when you tap it.
Greetings,
Same issue

I have this issue as well - and when I open google maps it works fine from there... Possible that it works from other apps but at other times they are really unresponsive. Did you ever fix your problem?
UPDATE - I just turned extreme power saver mode on then off and it seems to have fixed the issue for the moment...
OMG works!

can't thank you enough you just saved my day! I even registered on this forum just to thank you!
I've got a new (to me) AT&T Note 4 and only after getting it did I realize I couldn't root it because.....AT&T.... Anyways, it's on MM 6.0.1 now and I'm having a massively irritating issue that I can't find anywhere else online for reference. After roughly 15-30 minutes after I restart the phone, 3 things happen simultaneously.
1: Screen rotation stops working (except when I get a notification for textra from the pulldown menu and reply, then in that reply state, I can turn the phone and it will successfully rotate). I've checked the sensors and they're fine and working properly. I can use the rotate app to force rotation successfully and it doesn't matter if I have the rotation icon on or off, it will not auto rotate which makes nav apps a pain in the butt to have to keep restarting the phone for only a few minutes of working.
2: Home button stops working to go home. The physical button still works if I long press then google app comes up, but short press does nothing.
3: Menu button stops working completely, no response at all short or long press.
If anyone has a reference to point me towards or an idea of what's happening, I would love to figure this out so I don't want to throw my phone out the window after only a week. Thank you!

i have the same problem, have you found anything?????
Hi everyone,
I have configured hands-free mode on my phone but after a while stop working (if I say "alexa" nothing happen). Then I configure again and alexa works as it should but after a while stop working again.
Anyone facing the same problem?

Yep doesn't work for me either
It will work the first time then the 2nd time you see the location icon appear on the status bar and nothing happens
If you press the alexa mic icon manually it will work
What I ended up doing was assigning the long press of the power button to alexa so now when I long press it it acts as my assistant and brings up the alexa prompt eliminating the need to say a key word to open alexa. (Hold the power button down even longer for the usual power options)
When opening google maps, and then going to recent apps to do split screen through the icon, does anyone get the bug where the screen just goes blank and sits? I am having this bug. The only way to get out of it is to hit the power button and unlock the phone again.
Works fine here
Just tried it and it is working for me ok.
