Home button issue - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I was using Blazer ROM on my galaxy s3 and it was working fine except that call recording was not working so I switched to cm10 and it works fine most of the time but every once in a while when I press the Home key instead of going to the home screen it goes to the open apps. Like it would usually do if I held down the home button. And it will not work unless I restart the phone is anybody having the same issue?

I am also experiencing this issue on the M snapshot of CM10.1. Restarting the phone seems to fix this temporarily, however, it will come back after a couple hours of uptime.

I am experiencing the same issue on CM10.1M. Rapidly pressing the home button sometimes fixes it. A restart does as well.

screen issues, specifically back button

i've also experienced some of the other screen issues that others have when the phone is charging, but i have noticed something more specific: w/o any other apps in the multi-task queue, i press vol-up to press play on my current song, and when the song comes on, my back button stops workin. actually all of the soft buttons do this, but after 10 or so seconds, home and search button come back, but back button still unresponsive. Sometimes happens when I have multiple apps going on as well. Kind of an annoyance.
i'm considering going back to the store to check my options, but (even though i don't think i'm qualified to make this distinction) it may be a software issue that may be updated with the connectivity issue on the 16th?

I can confirm this. It happened to me just today. I was using the "Sleep" app made by a buddy of mine. I played a sound from the app and then I hit the back button. It took me into the multitasking view. I literally could not exit the app unless I hit the home button. Afterwards, my back button stopped working but the home and search was still functional.
I let the phone sit for a while and everything started working again. I don't know if this will be addressed in the 16th update but I really hope so.
I also heard that a battery fix is coming as well.

Power button not responding when locked. JB

I don't know if maybe my power button is messed up or not, but I just flashed JB the other day on my GSM Nexus and I've noticed every so often when the phone is locked I'll go to pull it out and sometime the screen doesn't come on first press of the power button. Sometimes it will take 2 or 3 presses. The screen comes on and nothing seems laggy. Never have any problem pushing power button to turn screen off and lock phone. Anyone else had this?
yup happens to me all the time actually
Nope I'm not having that problem in 4.1. It just works.
Maybe you changed the governor of your CPU? I'm using 4.1 since the day after it got introduced in Google I/O.
Seems to be better after a reboot. I'm using the stock kernel right now.

[Q] Home Button not waking up phone?

I've been having this issue and its been happening to me on stock, CM10 and ktoons rom as well.
Just randomly when i want to wake my phone up using the home button, it does nothing, or the buttons for menu and back lit up but the screen is black.
Sometimes if i hold home long enough it will show the lock screen or if i use the power button its fine.
Ive just switched over to the S3 from an iPhone so im really used to pressing home to unlock the phone.
Anyone else having this issue? Ive searched around alot of people have lag issues but i haven't seen one like mine yet.

Ok i thought so, sorry for creating a topic on it. on stock it happened it to me a few times as well though.
i just wanted to make sure it wasn't faulty.
I used to be able to just hit the home button twice and it would work but lately it's just a black screen no matter how many times. Using tasks ROM. I'm getting used to using the power button

[Q] Power Off Button not working with CM7.2

The Power Off button has started working inconsistently. Short press to sleep the phone is no problem, but long press to get to Power Off screen fails to work 90% of the time now. Am using CM7.2 (alquez) ROM. What could be the cause of this, e.g., applications running in the background? Any suggestions for how to fix? Thanks.

This is more likely to be a hardware problem than a software one.......... many WFSs including mine have bad power buttons
One suggestion is to replace it........... or it could be possible that the contacts of it on the board have got some dirt on them

Very strange issue, Screen rotation, home button, menu button

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!
