Help me my back and menu buttons have stopped working.

I 've tried searching but theres nothing specific to this phone.
I have a N7100 - everything has been working fine with it - all of a sudden the menu and back keys no longer work.
they light up if the phone in locked and when you press the home key - but once unlocked don't do anything.
I haven't dropped it or splashed water on it or anything like that.
The last app I installed was a call recoreded one last night, and I tried uninstalling that but nothing.
I also did a factory reset via recovery - also nothing.
I called Phones 4 U and they said they need to send it off - is there anything else I can try?

if after doing factory reset those buttons isnt working, then it is serious problem, maybe hardware defect

[Q] One X randomly simulating power button press.

My One X seems to simulate the press of the power button at random, regardless of rom, it also wakes for some reason when I touch the screen sometimes.
The power button press simulation is completely random, but usually occurs in bursts, sometimes in concentrated presses which can turn off the phone, has anyone ever had this problem, and what are the steps I should take to fix it?

stock rom and stock kernel?

It occurs regardless of ROM, I've got Serenity 4.75 installed atm, but it did it on Android Revolution which the previous owner (got it from ebay) had. it may be a hardware issue, and a quite uncommon one, the device works perfectly otherwise.
It seems to have been repaired before, which may be something to do with this.
Edit: I've got the same ROM and kernel on my white One X with a cracked screen and don't have the same issue.

Already tried this, it didn't have any effect, I think it's something to do with the internal button that the plastic thing we call a button presses down on.
I'd say an electrical current that runs through the replaced screen manages to somehow find where the power button-related electronics are and somehow activates it, otherwise I don't know why touching the screen can wake up the device when it's sleeping, doesn't happen on the other One X with same ROM/Kernel and settings.

Xperia Arc: Can't start my device at times

Well, I got some issues with a Xperia Arc which I bought a while ago and have been working fine until now.
The issue is that the device doesn't turn on most of the time, it's just completely dead(no vibration, led, logo, fastboot or anything). But sometimes it does turn on, and everything works. But when I do turn off my device it just dies completely and I have to spend hours trying to fix it.
Anyone know how to solve this? I have tried with other Arc batteries and such, but the problem still occurs.
The phone has a unlocked bootloader (testpoint method).

I guess it could be hardware problem Sir. Maybe some lose connection. Did you BY CHANCE dropped it any time? Just asking sir
Cheers,

It's not any loose connections, as I have opened it and checked them, and the issue seems to be with the bootloader as it boots fine at times, and as long as I dont turn it off it works fine.

So if I may suggest, Sir try relocking bootloader and then unlocking officially(if DRM keys dont matter much)

Well, the issue is still there, and the phone isn't operating properly. My phone doesn't even boot up with a microsd card inserted.

When does the phone turn on? Does it happen in certain conditions or randomly?
Are you able to use flashmode (turn off, hold down Back button, connect USB cable) or enter into fastboot (turn off, hold down Menu button, connect USB cable)?
Did you do anything specific prior to this issue?

The device doesn't boot into fastboot, flashmode.
I just had the phone in my pocket, when I picked it up it was dead.
I have ordered a new mainboard, anyone want a tutorial on how to swap the main board / screen on this device?

The phone is fixed now, and it works like a charm!
Was really easy to fix it at home, and didn't cost me more than 20 euro totally.

have to take out the battery to turn it on again.

What happens when you get into download or recovery mode? Does it do the same? Sounds like you may have a stuck power button

i can get to recovery mode and all, i tried wipe cache on
recovery mode and still nothing.
yes, i think its on power button, but after i searched how to fix it
most people will just slam their power button to a hard surface
to fix it.

Do you use a protective case?
Sounds like a physical thing on the power button...

No I mean if it reboots as well after 10-25 minutes in recovery or download mode like it does when booted normally. That would confirm that its likely a power button issue

Are you using GT-I9500? If so this is the wrong forum.. But what I would do is backup all my personal files, important messages etc. flash stock firmware with Odin, reboot to recovery and factory reset. That fixes many problems, but I don't know somehow I keep thinking something is up with that power button.. Or you could try what you said earlier and smash your power button lol

I would prefer it be Samsung if your device is still under warranty, if not then a local shop may be more convenient

Phone not turning on!!

my phone isnt working! It turned off out of nowhere! It shows QHSUSB_USB when i plug it in.

bump#

try holding down the volume down and power buttons at the same time.
Assuming that works, hold down the same two keys while the phone is off and if it turns on, clear the cache from the menu.

I'm afraid it's a hard brick. Some devices can be retrieved in this state but the G4 (afaik) can't at the moment.

I am talking about the G4 (VS986) Verizon Wireless variant with a May 2015 build date as ever since a few days ago, everytime I uninstall and reboot, it will go into a boot loop or even safe mode and one time, it just won't turn on no matter what until I did the above hard reset except this time it did the LG logo and then the Verizon Wireless logo like it was logo and was stuck there even after 2 hours which is the reason I did the wipe cache before it would work normally.
