In the SGS2 there was this factory test app where u could test the vibration, screen colors etc for dead pixels or faulty parts but keying in a series of numbers on the dialpad. Is this function still shipping with the SGN2?
Or what other ways is there to test on the spot?

It used to be *#0*# on the sgs2, can someone try on the sgn2?
Or those with titanium backup, do you see an app called factory test, or anything similar?

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..

I found this to be true so i uninstalled and home button fixed!
but the menu button is still acting up... I have decided that it's hardware related so i will be getting my phone replaced, thank you guys for the help.
Is anyone else going crazy with the home button opening voice command constantly when it wasn't your intent? Is there a way to change this mapping in stock? The phone is also rooted if it matters.
Thanks in advance.
I love that function.
Almost all dev roms now have removed that feature. Check the development section.

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.

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.

i've never seen anything like this in all my years now with android. no matter what rom i am on comletely stock or any of the custom roms when i make a phone call my phone call and the person doesn't answer my phone is black and locked up. i can't hit the power button to turn it on the only way to get my phone back is a battery pull.
basically, when i make a call i cannnot turn the screen on to hit the keypad, can't do anything. if i make a call and the person answers everything will be ok - after they hangup. i can't hangup since i can't get to my onscreen buttons to hangup.
things i've tried
stock and custom roms with no apps loaded
wiping multiple times
fixing permissions
dialer one from the market
any ideas what could be wrong? it must be a hardware problem or something.
Is your proximity sensor working correctly? Try using some of the motions in settings.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
yeah, i was thinking the proximity sensor must be broken. but even if it is broken why would i not be able to hit power to turn the phone screen back on.
ive never used motions before not sure i'm doing it correctly to determine if its broke for sure

I think what he's saying is go into settings>motions and check quick glance. Then with ur screen off wave ur hand over ur prox sensor and ur screen should turn on with info about ur phone and current time and such..

yep, i'd say the proximity sensor is broken. doing this in the motion settings works fine on my brothers note 2 and will not work with mine
any idea what my options are if the prox sensor is indeed broken? i suposse the only option is to try to take it back to sprint.

It does I solved your issue use a different service. That's not hard to comprehend at all. Clearly the built in screen shot isn't that great so use a different service. There are plenty of options on the play store.

Thanks again for ur response but I insist this does not solve my issue since I want the STOCK SCREENSHOT SERVICE to have a better quality and I bet that changing the build. U can do that unfortunately I don't know which properties to change for it to be done and that's why I ask the question here to see if any DEV could lead me into the right direction otherwise I would've just go to the play store and download one of those screenshot apps u mention!!

Why try to figure it out? As an app thats like 80kb and does a better job dude clearly that rom dev didnt want it to be best quality. You could have already taken a thousand of screenshots in perfect quality if you had just downloaded an app.
I don't understand you reason to use the built in service. Your not benefiting At all.

The reason why I want the built in is because the apps either put an icon on the screen or u have to use a shake movement for it which makes it bad since I'm always moving and the damn phone start taking screenshots if I find one that I could just merge it into the power menu or the screenshot combination buttons then yes it works For me
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I honestly can't see a difference from the screenshots I take with the built in feature and the original screen. They look the same when viewed on my phone unless I send them thru the messaging app which compresses them.

See thats easy to fix. Dude in most apps give you the option to turn it off any other ways to do it. And when I try to take a screenshot with power menu it would hit pause on games and bring me to a menu. Unlike using an app where it doesnt have that issue.

an app will not embed it to the power menu thats done within the ROM itself ask the Rom Dev to bake it in.
But an app like screenshot by Kastor Soft with the nexus icon for the app is really good.
