Hey guys,
I have an issue that didn't affect me much at first, but it seems like its happening a lot more lately. When I tap the back or menu key, its like the button sticks, it keeps pressing itself over and over again so fast. I usually just lock the phone to make it stop.
I have tried different Roms, but I guess that has nothing to do with it.
Has anyone experienced this? If so, did you fix it?
I have experienced this.....the only why I could find to fix it was to return my device. Sorry this probably didnt help you much.

This is a hardware issue and needs to be replaced.

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..

What about cleaning the entire glass really well? Maybe an oily smudge causing issues?
Did u figure it out yet? I certainly wouldn't be letting my friends borrow my phone again.

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.
I think my phone has issues. My capacitive buttons go crazy and then unresponsive, and my phone kicks itself into roaming mode quite often.
Does anyone know what Sprint would do for me if I went in to them with it? (I'd obviously unroot beforehand)
Is anyone else having this problem?

I also have been getting a stuck home button problem. It happened once an while but it is a problem. There is a thread about it in q and a section
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA App
Dont know what else to call it really but I know this is happening with all of our devices.. which is when the screen times out and u press home to wake it up it takes u back to default homescreen. The sgs3 doesnt react that way and ive had to get used to hitting the power button instead. Any ideas? This would be amazing and greatfully appreciated.

I can't replicate this issue. I let my screen timeout and pressed the home button and it simply turned the screen back on to where I left it.

I've had it happen. You press he home button immediately after the screen goes black, and it wakes the screen up, but also takes out of what ever you are in and takes you to the home page. I've retrained myself not to go for the home button, but the power button.

I've seen this behavior too. It's quite annoying.

Stock rooted. I tried it multiple times and the same thing happens, screen times out, I instantly press the home button and it turns the screen back on but keeps me on the web page, app, etc that I'm using.

This is really an issue, "immediately" hitting the home button when it goes to sleep? Why not just avoid letting it go to sleep or hit the power button? This seems like a non issue to me and I've never had it happen.
but my post does not help the OP so good luck with that, sorry for the editorial.
The point is my sgs2 gti9100, and sgs3 tmobile which both had physical buttons didnt react this way.. I find it to be strange.

Are you using stock LEAK ?
I think this is a Jellybean 4.1 issue. My Note 2 has the same problem, but my wife's Galaxy S3 didn't when she was on ICS. Last week the phone updated to JB and now the problem exists.
This is definitely related to Jelly bean but I'm not sure if it is strictly a Touchwiz Jelly bean issue. It happens when I removed S Voice from the home button double press. It happens on the S3 and when my Note II comes in I bet it will happen on there too.
There are a lot of people that noticed it and I even saw someone open an issue with Google, although I'm not sure it is entirely a Google issue.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39326
The last line is the issue maybe.
"I want the single tap to be more snappy - for that I must disable s voice, but when I do it this bug raises its head. "
Do you guys have s voice disabled on the home button to save that lag time?
I disabled the s voice on the home button but still have the lag.

Hi there. Before update to JB on my S3, when i do my readings on the phone, screen blackout, press the HOME button, the screen will come back up.
Now, screen blackout, press HOME button, screen come back up but the app or browser that I'm using will close down instead of just led the screen on (where the app still there)
Anyone has a way to fix this? Keep pressing on the POWER button to light up the screen is not as Convenient as by using the HOME button.
Thank you.

Glad it's not just me. This has been driving me bonkers ever since I updated. It's really the only complaint I have about the official 4.1.1. ROM right now. Would love to hear some suggestions on how to fix. In the meantime, I've been trying to train myself to use the side power button for screen on action.
Is there anyway that we can make suggestions on this matter?
It bugs me when I read on the bed at night.

this has been happening on jelly bean ROMs (not cm tho) ever since the leas came out - at least for me anyways. very irritating sometimes but yes, you are not the only one.
Bump. No one else is annoyed by this but us or has any idea for a fix?
Only 'fix' is to use smart stay when theres enough light. Otherwise increase your screen on time to one min. I had to increase my time since I use it at night so often.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
An easy fix is just to use your power button as soon as the screen blacks out.
It wakes the screen back up without closing down the current app your in... I just tested it out and it works, doesn't lock the phone either.
But if you don't wanna use the power button then I suggest you increase your screen time out to one minute or more if you don't want the screen blacking out fast.

Very annoying and not something that can be considered useful in anyway, so a bug in my opinion.

Like someone else mentioned, what's wrong with smart stay?

Does it work in the dark when reading in bed like the OP asked? My comment was criticism of why they coded it this way,for what purpose?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Its really just doing what its supposed to before the device locks. I guess they expected smart stay to take care of it.
If you keep double press home to open svoice enabled it should also stop this from happening.

Bingo. This is the answer. I'd much rather have the slight lag in returning to the home screen than lose the ability to turn the screen back on with the home key. Thanks!
My power button is faulty and is rebooting my phone frequently. So I want to disable it. I've searched around quite a bit, and can't find a way.
Does anyone know how this can be accomplished?
Thanks
Smith
