Home button doesnt turn on on Paranoid Rom - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

There are times where wen i press the home button the phone doesnt turn on.. i have to press it like 5 times for it even to show up. Also if it doesnt pop up im foced to to press the power button. Dont kno if its a bug on the paranoid rom...im pretty sure someone else already encountered this..Sorry im new to this site...newbie..dont know where to post or find the answers. Can ne one help or give me a heads up?

I just tried paranoid android. Super cool rom, btw. I'm afraid I couldn't recreate your issue.
So, try reflashing first.
Did you do a clean install?
ie. Did you wipe data?
Before you installed it.
That's important. Especially if you are coming from ice cream

Well, let me know how it goes. The stock Rom is ice cream at the moment. So, that could fix it.

i am on slim bean and sometimes i have this same issue. it is nothing serious but yes i have noticed it as well.
my theory, is that it is a problem with the ***t hardware home button that sammy decided to throw on this thing. kind of irritating to be honest....
and i can't say whether or not i remember it doing that on ICS ROMs, which is why i didn't say it was ROM related or not. physical bottons are notorious for having issues like this.

I had the same issue with cm10 (stable and nightly) and I resolve this issue (and many other) by installing SuperSU

[Q] Answer phone

every other time my phone rings I cant answer it. The accept button just wont move?? is it just me or have anyone else had this error I have a dezire z
Do you have set CPU set to 245MHz @ screen off?
no i dont, why?
Well that could be one cause, maybe it's a bad app causing your phone to temporarily freeze? Can you slide it the other way and ignore the call?
Did you try flashing a different kernel?

why do you suggest this? how do you know hes using kernels? im just trying to see what your connection to the solution is -its quite a specific answer to a problem that hasnt really been examined. what rom is he on, etc before you can start talking about kernels -- so can you clarify?
accept button - do you mean the slider? if you have cmod - just activate settings to disable lock menu/trackball/ whatever --also you could try the no-lock unless you have security issues.
if no cmod -- theres apps to reduce the lockage -- that may help you get your phone calls but still doesnt fix the problem? you could try enomther's and his awesome extra ssettings app has all those options
Thanks for your help, well it is my wifes phone and it is fresh from the store, just a bunch of apps installed.
I will try some things and see if i can figure it out. And yes it is the slide button, can that be switched for a push button, Is it theme based or in the dialer?? hope you understand what i say.

If its a stock DESIRE Z and not a G2 then I think it's safe to assume its got sense on it and not AOSP. Did you try hard resetting it? (power down and pulling the battery for at least 30 sec) other than that id check for any OTA updates in the settings menu. OR if you're willing/know how, you can root it and run CM or virtuous. Both ROMs are excellent. If you do that and the problem persists, it could very well be a faulty unit. You have a lot of options!
I found I had problems answering calls when I had a specific make of screen protector on the phone. As soon as I took that off and went back to a previous one I'd used then it was fine again ! It's a long shot, but I thought I'd throw it in there.
Problem solved, An update did the trick, thanks for helping out my friends,

Weird Vibrate and Pop-up issue

Hi Guys,
about 10 times a day or so, I hear my phone vibrate (phone is on vibrate at work).
When I unlock the screen, I have a "complete action using pop-up" with dropbox, gmail and skype as the options.
Another user did some investigation by clicking on gmail to see what exactly it's sending and it looks to be an error report to google.
Anyone else experienced this?
i've experienced this too, dont know the cause though
BUMP.
Anyone else getting this at all?
Running AOKP Build 26 4.0.3 and Franco Kernel.
Cheers
Yeah its data logging. Caused by holding both volume and power I think it is. You can turn it off in aokp in general UI settings
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I got it too..I'm pretty sure it is not generated by holding both volume keys and power.
It appears random.What is that?It's a sort of issue log.
Any way to desactivate it?
I have the same issue running 4.0.4. I believe a program keeps automatically taken screen shots of my GN
This is happening to me... any solution?
Another victim.
Another one here.
I'm on Stock 4.0.4 and Franco's Kernel.
If I stop to think, I guess this started to happen since I started using MoDaCo leaked 4.0.4 that comes with Franco's Kernel.
So I guess it might be Kernel or 4.0.4 fault.
The bad thing is that the supposed error log have nothing interesting.
definitely 4.0.4... I'm running stock.
it happens if u press the volume button in between Up and Down (in the middle) and power at the same time for a second or so
try and u will see the report appearing after a minute or so
solution: when u want to unlock ur phone, just press the power button
Its ICS's bug mailer and is, to be honest, flawed. Its trying to send a bug report to Google. Use root explorer, mount as r/w and rename bugmailer.sh to bugmailer.sh.old, save and reboot. Should stop it hapenning anymore. Its more of an annoyance then anything useful IMO. I used to get 5-6 a day but never saw or come across any crashes or problems. Rename and enjoy the phone

never happened to me..also it doesn't send reports to anyone, because u have to put the email address..its a developer feature to show u a lot of debug information
are u sure u are not pressing both volume (in the middle) and power when waking up the phone? thats the cause

Granted, you don't have to send it to Google, but my point stands. It flares up, on occasions, all too often. If anyone has no desire to read it, disable it. It serves no purpose unless you actively wish to send it to anyone for any reason.

OMG! It did work!
I think that it might be due to the case!

Tired phone wont wake!

Ok so I've been using a few different versions of the CM10 ROM and I've noticed a new problem. On occasion, when I go to wake the device, it will not wake. The keys light up, but thats it, the screen doesn't come on. The only way to get it working again is to hold down the power button and wait till it restarts. It's happened twice so far, not too frequently but annoying none-the-less.
Is there something I can do to fix this?

I meant new to me! Though I looked around like crazy, cant find anything on this problem so I figured it was unique to my device.

Nah, I'm mostly just giving you a hard time The CM10 nightly thread has gotten to be a beast to look through; seriously though... that problem is pretty old, and like you said; the only way to get around it is to hold power or do a battery pull. Just wait until you have an alarm go off in the morning and you can't turn it off!
Try the 2013 nightly, it does not appear to have this issue

Maybe not, but it probably has other issues instead!
I can confirm that these issues still exist in the NIGHTLY (1/20) version. Just had it happen. Doesn't appear to be quite as frequent, but definitely still happening. I think it MAY have something to do with notifications, not sure though. Seems to often happen when I get a notification, I'll go turn it on and it wont wake from sleep.

Just saying; but there's already a thread for discussing CM10...

Home button Is now a menu button and won't change back.......

Hey what's up guys.... for some odd reason my home button is now my menu button and won't change back. I opened up the phone and the connections are right but It still does it. I tried everything and still a no go and don't know what to do next
Do you have xposed installed?

Go to wanam xposed, settings and look for home button behavior. Then change it to default or whatever you want.
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk
Wanam doesn't work till the phone boots up so it's not wanam I already checked it. It's something else that's causing this
Thus should be In the q&a section but I think if you're running xposed and you have Samsung keyboard hold delay module on, it will mess with your physical buttons so disable the module if you have it

I'll have to wait till I get home to take it apart again and go over everything to make sure everything looks good

This is a weird post.
1) Why would you open the phone to check this? did you open the phone and physically do something to it first?
2) You provided no real info about your phone, rooted?, have any root modules installed? Using a different rom?
Sounds like you are messing around and now have messed something up. hard to fathom what the issue is with out any real clue what you are doing to it.

@krelvinaz what's soo weird about the post ??? When the iPhone home button fails it's usually the connection popping off. The note 3 is not hard to work on and I done it before so no its not user error because it happened when I was out for dinner last night and actually the home button stopped working completely and now it's working but as a menu button.. I was running jovys rom and kernel and I wasn't using Wanam or exposed.. right now I am running a stock rooted build of my own with a stock kernel no mods and it's still doing it. I jumped to cm11 and aosp and still does the same thing. I had this note 3 since black Friday so returns are out of the question and I do have insurance but it's bothering me that I can't figure it out lol...Whats funny too the phone vibrates when i push the home button like i am pushing the menu n back keys
Fixed it apparently the Home button has a short/bad connection.. i get my replacement on tuesday but at least for now I can use it

[Q] Home button keeps going to recent tabs/task manager when pressed?

Hello,
Ever since the update to 4.3, the home button is absolutely annoying. Everytime I need to get back to the home screen, it opens the recent tabs list. Anyone who knows what I am talking about knows how extremely frustrating this is. So, is there a fix?
Sounds like it may be sticking. That's what its supposed to do when you long press home.

Definitely not sticking. It seems once upgraded to 4.3, it started happening. I was reading a lot of people were having the same issue. But they were old posts, so I wasnt able to find a resolution. Its really annoying actually as it slows things down quite a bit, like a major time stopper.
Never had that happen for me. Have you disabled double press for svoice? If you flash an older rom does it fix it?

Yes I have disabled that. No, I am completely stock refreshed from samsung after sending in to fix cracked screen.
Did you get the same one back, or a refurb? Id contact them either way if they caused the problem.
Or try reflashing your firmware.
