So being very impatient, I flashed 4.4 to my Nexus 7. Went down without a hitch. I turn it on however, and I stumble across a few problems. The home button doesn't work, the quick settings menu doesn't come down, notifications aren't displayed, and when I hold power the only option is to power off (I'm not sure if that one is normal or not). Has anyone else come across these issues? If so, is there any way to fix it?

I've seen similar threads on other devices but I'm not 100% sure this is the same problem...
My girlfriend's phone has been glitching out massively lately. By glitching out, I mean that it appears as if some invisible force is pressing and holding down the Home button. You can feel the phone vibrate in your hand as if you're pressing the buttons and it brings up the Recently Used Applications menu. If you try to press any other button to escape out of it, the phone doesn't do anything until it finishes with its seizure. Usually if you power it off for a few seconds, it will resolve the issue.
She is running non-rooted and stock. I can't say for sure what version of Android or Sense she's running right now, however I can provide that information when I can receive it from her. She recently dropped her phone that resulted in a shattered screen. I replaced the glass on Saturday and noticed the glitch myself afterwards (which makes me worried that the ribbon cable that controls those buttons was damaged or not properly set), however she tells me that the phone was doing this before she dropped it.
She's not running an application killer (I read that this might be the cause of this problem) and I'm hoping that installing a custom ROM on it will fix the problem. Does anyone else have this problem or know a solution?
Thanks,

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.
I have looked under the settings for hours and have not found anything! Need help :/
The only way for me to get back to home is to press back a bunch of times, I can't hold the home button to pull up recent apps either.
I am new to android, or just phones in general and my friend flashed my phone with AOKP.
Any help is appreciated!
Alright guys, I was the one that flashed his phone, and he's new to forums so I'll address the problem he's having.
We live far apart so can't really fix his phone for I don't have an S3 myself. His home button was working as it should, home would exit, long press would bring up the multitasking etc.
Today randomly his phone wouldn't respond to the home button. The thing is, I told him to wipe dalivk, do a factory reset, etc. and hes able to use the home button in the recovery but not the ROM itself.
There's a huge probability that he has possibly changed the settings somewhere binding the home button to do absolutley nothing on keypress, but I am just unsure of his settings on his phone. Could anyone help out please? Thanks.
what rom?
Flash stock? See if it's working again?

what rom and launcher.
Op says its aokp.
Next thing id try is reflashing the rom.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
with CM10, you can configure what the home button does, or you can assign "nothing" to it. aokp is basically cm10 with more options, just fiddle with the settings and find that option, it should say something like "hardware keys"
I have a problem with my device (I bought it used, and have only had it a couple of days). Every so often (I don't know how to recreate the problem), the bottom three buttons just start acting is if they are all three being pressed repeatedly. Sometimes it stops if I turn the screen off and back on, and other times I have to reboot the phone.
Has anyone else had this issue? Anyone know how to fix it? I might have to wait for it to happen again, then hope it doesn't stop doing it before I get to the Sprint store.
My N7 has had a rather odd, and annoying, issue for a while, and I'm now unsure if it is hardware or software.
Every once in a while, when I go to unlock it, it will immediately relock (screen will show the lock animation) as soon as I swipe up. This persists until I manage to either power cycle the tablet, or by changing the orientation of the tablet and trying again a few times.
Has anyone run into this, and if it is hardware related, which bit is causing it? I had to replace the power button on my Galaxy S2 for a similar issue, but the power button appears to be fine on the tablet.
Thanks!
