Capacitive buttons only work when keyboard is out

I've got an issue where all four capacitive buttons will not work in portrait mode but will work in landscape mode with the keyboard out. I've found some people had issues when they first got their phones but I've had mine for about 14 months and this just started happening. I'm on RandomRom right now with a fresh flash but I had this same Rom before I re-flashed and didn't have the issue. Also, the capacitive buttons used to work in CWM but they don't anymore. I'm going to try the new RandomRom later this weekend but I was curious if anyone else had this issue? I'm leaning towards a hardware problem even though it does work with the keyboard out but also the software has essentially remained unchanged so I'm lost.

Try a different kernel
sent from my touchwiz 4.5-ed epic

That was a kernel problem when the ei22 kernels first started being develpoed and has since been fixed. Flashing a newer kernel will take care of the problem

I flashed the 3.3 ThunderHawk ROM and re-flashed the Shadow Kernel (My device says 2.6.35.7-Shadow-EI22_v1.0.2+OC) but it persists. However it's reassuring that you both came up with the same solution; do you have a different kernel in mind that might work better? Thanks for your help.

I'm currently on iap's samurai.mtd.tw.warrior, you could try that if your on mtd. If not he has a bml version too

Go into cwm, wipe data 3x, cache 3x, and dalvik cache 3x. then try installing cleangb rom and shadowkernel. See what results u get.

I recommmend doing a clean install of whatever rom you want to use. An updated kernel should be included with the rom. Wiping 3 times is not neccessary as that was a bug with old cwm (3.x.x.x) 1 time is enough now. If the problem persits after a clean install download the newest samurai kernel. If that doesn't work try the newest shadow kernel (you can try shadow first if you would rather that kernel). Shadow is now on 1.0.4....

Ugh...I flashed Samurai Kernel I believe. One of the ninja-esque titled kernles; no luck. I tried changing CWM to ACSRecovery 5; no luck. I tried flashing xBTx's "MostlyStock" ROM; no luck. I'll try the CleanGB ROM with both kernels now Also, I flash cache, Dalvik, and data 3x from habbit. Thanks again for your help

if that doen't work... try this...it may work.. and i got this advice from kennyglass, it helped me alot. if you can reflash from odin, try repartitioning...that may fix it. "trial and error". that's what i would do. "but thats just me".

Okay I tried the CleanGB, with the stock kernel and Shadow kernel, and neither of those worked either! Does anyone know of a decent ROM to Odin? I don't want to download the stock from the Samsung website and have to re-root. Or, does anyone know of a gesture application that has "back" and "home" that can be mapped?

Besides "odin", u really got me there. If. U repartition...as much as u don't want to..it will completely reset everything. I would have to say, its better than continuining the guesing game...u know? That's my advice though.

^^^^^^+1... if all else fails you probably have bad data converting over everywhere you go... odin the ec05.tar with the victory pit and make sure reboot and repartition is checked... then reroot and flash rom/kernel of your choosing and that should take care of your problem!

Yep that's the one... if you have odin the victory pit should've been included with odin... put the ec05.tar in the pda slot and the pit in the pit... reboot and repartition checked and flash... then either root from there with the one click or accept update and root ei22... if you need help with the rerooting in anyway you can pm me... I'm always up till bout 5 or 6 in the morning cuz imma bit of an insomniac so anytime is fine and I will walk you through it as best as I can

I re-flashed through Odin 3 times but after each time my problem persisted. I followed the instructions exactly yet the reformat didn't change anything. I'm going to rip it apart tonight and re-seat everything and if that doesn't work I guess I have to live with it.

Is there a bug with browser??

Ok so im having issues with the browser. On calkulins 2.8.1 i touch the browser icon and it locks me out (black screen). My work around lock and unlock until the lockscreen appears then i unlock and quickly press the home button, because if i dont it locks me out and i get a black screen! Unfortunately its happening also on the Blend rom! So as im typing this i just remembered it did not use calkulins format all zip! Could that be the issue? I personally dont think so but would lile to hear what you guys think and if you are also experiencing this issue also!! If theres already a post on this ill delete this thread!
Thanks in advance!!
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

If you are having it on different roms but aren't wiping between flashes that's probably your problem. Use the format all and reflash. Then report back.

Actually doing it manually i go to wipe data then wipe cache then wipe davlik you know were im going with this! But that my method i use wen i flash another rom! Im going to flash Blazer rom and flash the format all zip as of now! Will report back if this is an issue!

I have this issue on all roms I try. I've wiped everything and gone back to stock but still no luck. I opened a thread on this a while ago but no answer. My only solution was to use another browser. I use boat browser as an alternative.

Yes FLASH Calkulins format all zip and as of now im on Blazer ROM and stock browser seems to work! Maybe that format all was the key... So far so good FOR NOW THAT IS.... Hmmm will continue to test the browser functionality...

Was it just the shortcut km a home screen? Or from the drawer too? I get this problem at times on my home screen. Deleting the shortcut and making a new one usually fixes it.

No not a short cut!!.... Im reporting that the format all zip cleared that issue for me! 6hrs of testing and still no issue not complaining lol

Rule of thumb. When wiping dalvik/cash allways do it three times. I never use wipe all script and have never had an issue. Im just oldschool I guess.

if you don't format your system before flashing a new rom, you will have problems like that..
wiping cache/data/dalvik is NOT enough..you must format your system...

[Q] Downgrading from 4.1 to 4.0 (JB to ICS)

Pardon me if an answer has already been posted, but I could not find a thread related to the Galaxy S2. Is there a method to downgrade from Jellybean to Ice Cream Sandwich?
I have a rooted phone if that makes any difference.

Do you have a recovery? A rom to flash? Its no too hard

Flash an ICS ROM. Be sure to do a clean install. Wipe data, system, cache and dalvik cache. You can flash between as many ROMS as you wish, between ICS,JB or even GB in no particular. Flash away buddy!

[Q] Anything other than a TW and my camera just wont work, Help?

Hi there!
I have had an s3 for a few days now and love it!.
Any TW rom and my camera works just fantastic.
Any cm10/aokp/miui/etc rom and I just cant use the camera no matter what app I use to try it, whether it be the built in app or camera360/etc.
Driving me nuts and would love someone to help me. Anyway research I have done hasnt told me what I'm doing wrong.
I wipe cache/dalvik/factory reset/system before each rom. I have tried different kernels but nothing has helped.
Any gurus out there have any ideas on what I can do to fix this?

Your install process would be and please link the files you are flashing... I'll try and help you. I've seen a few people mention this the past couple days.

The most recent I tried to flash was Illusion v1.1.18 - (d2tmo, d2att & d2vzw) - 1|18|13 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2037028
I downloaded Illusion-v1.1.18-d2tmo.zip and gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip.
I went into recovery which is twrp and the most recent version. I installed it with the goo.im app.
When in recovery I did:
1) Factory Wipe
2) Wipe Cache
3) Wipe Dalvik
4) Wipe System
I would then click Install and select the rom file, and after it succesfully flashed I would then flash the gapps file. All were successful.
I would then reboot and the rom would boot up fine. I setup my google account and all that then for the heck of it I would reboot.
I then would try the camera app and it would complain that it couldnt connect to the camera basically. I went into the play store and tried a free version of camera 360, puddle camera, etc and all would not work.
I went back into recovery, wiped cache and dalvik again, hopped on one foot, faced east, and clicked my heels together. Upon reboot the camera does not work.
I have wiped all that and tried to install [Kernel][JB] Leankernel: Minimalistic Kernel for D2TMO/D2ATT (AOSP) v2.3 [1/17/13] which flashed fine. Upon reboot I could change voltages to undervolt, mess with governors but cameras still do not work.
I have a backup of two TW roms (one stock) and both of the those roms work beautifully with whatever camera I try, including the built in/stock camera.
I hoped I didn't leave out something. If there is something I missed than I'm an idiot because it seems like I am really missing something.
Thanks for your help.

I don't see any reason your steps lead to that, the exact steps I take every time to flash. I'm researching but in the mean time, go to app manager and wipe cache and data from gallery... Are you using the same Gapps over and over on each try? Might wanna try a different set.

I did that earlier with no luck.
I just force stopped on gallery, wiped cache/data, rebooted, and I tried the camera only to get the same message.
Thank you for that tip but I will continue my research also.
Just because I looked at about phone.
Model of phone is SGH-T999 (just in case someone thinks I'm in the wrong forum"
Baseband version is T999UVDLJA
Kernel is of course 3.0.59-leanKernel
AOKP Version is Illusion v1.1.18 d2tmo
Build number is aokp-d2tmo-userdebug 4.2.1 (I truncated the rest)

I have downloaded this gapps twice for the last rom http://goo.im/devs/itsmikeramsay/gapps-jb-20121212-signed.zip.
For the miui rom there was a gapps that was specific to miui and had miui in the name. The miui rom's camera didnt work.
I'll look for a different gapps if that might be the problem but since I have tried a couple roms and a few different gapps I feel that might not be the issue.
I still will give it another try though. Just have to find another gapps to try.

try these just in case they're corrupted. http://d-h.st/dtk these are the ones I use

It had JB on it when I got it almost 2 days ago. I tried to do an OTA when I got it but it said I was up to date.
Let me do a restore to stock and see what version it is.
Edit: Restored stock. Says android version 4.1.1, Kernel 3.0.31-370274se.infra, Build number JR003L.T999UVDLJA

Was it already rooted?

It was new, out of the box. I watched the guy unrap it. It is one of the newer grey metal color looking ones. It was not rooted. I did that. Should I do an Odin to bring the device back to complete stock and start from scratch?
Will take a while since I have no idea where to start with all that

Thats the best suggestion I have. Maybe someone else will step in with an idea.

Hey thanks again for your help. I ended up falling asleep but installed Wicked V6 (tw based rom) and liking it enough that I will wait on a aokp/cm10.x rom until I get up the motivation to try again.

I never have that issue even with dirty flash. Have you tried to wipe system, data, everything? I think you can try to Odin back to stock, then root it and start everything fresh. Sometimes the old files are still left over and mess up your phone.

DO NOT do that if you are on the latest TWRP or CWM 6.+ cause Darkside super wipe was discontinued. For AOKP and CM 10.1 Nightly I just did a data/partition wipe and flash gapps.
