Hello guys,
I'd like to ask you if somebody has the same problem.
Mmy s4 mini vibration is very buggy.
Everytime it has different strenght.
Sometimes when I press a button on the keyboard I can feel a strong vibration and sometimes I can barely fell it.
But there is more. Sometimes it makes a sound like cracking which is very frustrating.
Thank you in advance

To test buggy vibrate hardware on Samsung.
Go to Phone, then type: *#0*#
You will then see various options. Press the Vibration/Vibrate button and see if it is constant. If it's not constant then it may well be a hardware fault.
To get out of this menu when you're done just tap "back" twice.
I tried but invalid mmi error appeared and can't be fixed with a ",".
What do you mean with a comma....
So the code *#0*# doesnt work on the 9195 version.
Can someone else with a 9195 confirm since it works on the 9190.
Sent from my GT-I9190 using xda app-developers app
*#0*# working well here on GT-I9195.
By the way I am using cyanogen if this maters.
I fixed it guys. Flashed back to stock where the *#0*# menu was available then pressed the vibration button and the phone started vibrating. Maybe the motor was stuck or something but now my keybord vibrations are normal.
It works on the LTE version. Tested.

I can confirm that in stock rom, this is the behaviour in SwiftKey in my device also. Sometimes the strength is different, and sometimes you can here a small sound like a crack (it comes from the back cover, so nothing really important).
Do you also use SwiftKey?

The keyboard on my TP2 (Verizon) intermittently stops working (no key press registers, however the buttons on the face of the phone still do). After soft reset it works again. This is with different ROMs. I'm thinking, perhaps, there is a loose connection internally. It also has odd crashes, but this might only be a ROM problem as it is much less pronounced with the latest ROM I'm using (Elite team ROM).
Diagnosis? I'm reluctant to send it into Verizon for just this, as its only occasional. Wondering if anyone has experienced the same thing
I'm having this same exact issue. I'm using the latest ROM from HTC. Sometimes when I open the keyboard in an app, like texting or email, the keyboard is genreally non-responsive. When it's in this state, the enter key goes to windows Apps but all other keys failed to work. I also test by pushing the FN to see if the FN light tunrs on.
What's strange with mine is the keyboard will work when it's open like for phone use, but when open with an app like text/email/bing, it doesn't...
Like previous poster, not sure if hardware ro what...
This may not have anything to do with your problem, but..
I have the PTT button on my tilt2. I have a case that wasn't designed to encompass that button, so it gets covered up (I had a find time finding a case that did actually fit!)
I have the PTT button assigned to do nothing, but with it being pressed down, it makes my keyboard non-responsive as well as disabling the arrows keys on my touchscreen. It will however work for a while after restarting my phone, but it always goes back to the same thing.

Thank you very much for posting this. I do have the same exact setup, I have the PTT button unassigned and I too have a cover that covers it. So maybe it's pressing it down causing the problem.
I hope this is it and really appreciate your post...
UPDATE:
Sweet, I just checked things out. removed the cover and it would the keyboard doesn't go non-responsive when I push the PPT button, and works when I don't...
By George, I think you got it!!!!
GREAT!!!!
Hello boys
from about 1 week i have this problem on my device, if i have the keyboard out and write an sms or typing an url when slide the keyboard in the device automatically reset itself...
anyone knwo this problem or the solution ?
Thanks for the help
Nicola
Hi,
I have a problem with my keyboard too, I've searched the forum but i didn't see the same problem as i have or the solution. My phone's screen turns off when i slide out the keyboard. Actually phone stays on but the light of the screen goes off. when i slide it out i'm able to write something or make calls. when i slide it back, screen keeps itself off and i press the sleep key "2 times"!(screen looks like off but it isn't) to reopen it again. I press the sleep key for the first time to turn the screen actually off, and press it one more time to turn it on again. i did a soft and a hard reset to the phone, didn't solve it. I don't think it is a software problem but i hope it is

These are the photos of the occasion.
The screen keeps itself on until the end of the slide. it turns off then. when I slide it back, i can see the backlight of the screen and the light of the buttons.( i don't think that you would see it on the photo, 3rd photo).
I'm waitin for your help guys, thank you so much.
Isn't there anyone to help my problem? I'm waiting for your answers..
I'm also having this same issue. When I slide the keyboard in it just turns off sometimes. At first I thought it might be a physical issue with the internals of the phone and the sliding impact of the keyboard was causing it to reset, but it doesn't do it all the time for me. I can jam on it and nothing happens sometimes, or other times it resets from a gentle nudge. I am running Energy GTX from August 26 or 28, whatever version that was.
I also have this issue now where my end key is unresponsive. Doesn't. Work. Ever. and that is so freaking annoying. If anyone has any insight here PLEASE share it.
Thank you.
Wow i just saw your message and suprised. Is that my phone you're using? Because I have that end key problem too. It works when I press too hard. And I have 3rd problem now. I think my phone's microphone is not working. People i'm talking on the phone is always complaning about that they can not hear my voice or it's too low. Now I have three problems:
1. Phone is turning itself off when i slide the keyboard out.
2. End key is not responsive.
3. Microphone is low or its broken..
Maybe reflash your phone to origional rom.
I was using WM 6.5 without hardspl when the problem occured. then i did hardspl and installed custom roms, i even tried with WM 6.1. It didn't help about any of it. I'm used to not using the keyboard actually, but the problem with microphone is annoying..
Same problem with the keyboard

I have the same problem !!!! Did you manage to resolve because I am sure this is software relatred. I had android on my phone prior to this and fixated that the issue is coming from this
Had the same keyboard issues, found that it was a battery issue. when you shut the phone, the battery would loose connection.
bluewaterkayak,
more info on the loose battery connection.
i have the same problem with sliding the keyboard down and the screen turning off. closing it, pressing the sleep button 2x, turns the phone back on. i can slide the keyboard down just enough and hold it to type out a text, any more and it'll go off.
THIS IS SUPER ANNOYING
Bumpski. Really need this fixed.
What ever you last installed take it off. If not you might have to go factory restore
It's definitely not a software issue. The screen itself somehow gets disconnected when slid up all the way.
Took it apart and found nothing obvious wrong. Is there something to look at exactly when the slider is at the end of it's travel? The cables seemed fine. The problem only happens at the end of travel.
I cleaned the slider area and pried some contacts down. Nothing. Put it back together and same problem.
Ideas??
See here:

Tried the fix posted in the last link with Kapton Tape.
Didn't work.
Any ideas?
I have the same issue. My old VZW TP2 is sitting in a drawer in my house because people kept saying they couldn't hear me on the other end. Also on my new one, when i slide the keyboard in/out sometimes it turns off, not always though. I figured it has to be a hardware issue as well, if i do it slowly nothing happens but if i just slide it open and let the springs kick in, it usually cuts off once it 'snaps' to the end of the sliding path.
I have a problem with my galaxy nexus. After few minutes of using the phone, the touch sensitivity is becoming low, especially on navigation bar and it's quite difficult to press any button. It can be fixed by turning off and on the screen but it happens again few minutes later. I'm on cm10.1 last nightly, the same was on before ones and other kernels. It's really annoying.
Hey,
Same issue. I enlarged the NavBar in the settings and it worked just fine after. Try that maybe ^^
If that helped you, hit the Thanks button
It's a common one and already documented, there's currently no workaround apart from turning the screen.
Today I got really weird problem. My volume buttons worked good, but now, the up button when I'm holding it, mutes the phone. Single click sometimes makes louder, sometimes it acts like down button, and sometimes does nothing at all. The lower button acts similar. The camera and power buttons are working like new. It happens on 4.1 and 4.3, so I think it's hardware problem. But what caused this and how to fix it? Please, I really don't want to give this phone to service! :crying:
Hello everyone, I just got a Tab S 8.4 SM-T700 and the home button seems to only work when pressed exactly on the center. When pressing the button a little to the side, I will hear a slight click, however, nothing happens.
Is anybody else seeing this issue or is it considered "normal operation"? I also have a Galaxy S5, which has a very similar home button that works every time, regardless of where you press.
Thanks!
I have the same problem but I don't know if it is a problem or not...do you have found something

Hi domy_deg, thanks for the response... I guess the fact that you also have the same problem could suggest that it's normal, or maybe we just got the same defect on our devices. I still haven't found anything else, but if I do I'll post it here.
Ok me too...but I think it's normal or I hope because if it was a problem the home button doesn't work ever just like the iPhone 4 we must press very hard the button to work
what do you think about it?
I started to think it was normal, but it seems that I don't get a response from the home button really often...
Same here but with Galaxy Tab 4 10.1
