Home button unresponsive on tab s 8.4 - Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there
Bought this second hand.
Was working fine, and all of a sudden the home button isn't working. I've tried a reset and a factory wipe/reset - still nothing. Google search doesn't really help. The back and menu buttons to either side of the home work fine, just the central home button which isn't working.
I know there exist software solutioons - but would rather get the hardware fixed/diagnosed.
Any help?
Thanks

I also have the same issue. My button is unresponsive, yet, the finger print scanner works. I was wondering if anyone had a similar issue?

Front Face Button issue.

Hi Everyone,
Just wondering if any has this issue?
Ive got a HTC Branded TyTN and I've installed various ROMs on the phone, included the standard rom. The buttons on the front of the phone seem to stop responding after 5 inputs.
For example, I activate the start menu with the Windows Button. I use the D-Pad to scroll down the list, i press it 4 times, the keys stop responding.
The slide out keyboard works fine.
Whats weird is, if i press the Ok button below the track wheel twice, I can then press the front face buttons 5 more times.
Any suggestions. I've done hardresets, Rom updates, im leaning toward a hardware issue. i'd like your input though.
Thanks

Touchscreen issues

I picked up my tablet from by desk this afternoon and the touchscreen stopped working. It does not respond to at all. I have rebooted it both via the power button and the reset bottom on the bottom of the tab.
One thing I have learned is the process on you tube where you set the rotation lock on and power up while holding the volmue + button does not work to do a hard reset. The button on the bottom only does a soft reboot.
I tried to re-flash the 3.2.1 firmware as well. I am currently waiting on a chat session with support. Boy does this suck, I may have to take back my old nook color from my daughter to hold me over until I get this fixed.
It looks like support is closed.
support: Hi, my name is xxx Joseph. How may I help you?
me: I picked up my tablet (a100) and the touchscreen stopped working. It does not respond to at all. I have rebooted it both via the power button and the reset bottom on the bottom of the tab.
me: The screen is not taking any touches. when I hit the home button the screen brightness comes back up. I can connect to it from my computer and see the data, also adb works.
me: hello, are you there?
me: Is there anyone there?
me: Thanks for the support or lack therefore of. If you are closed for the holiday you should close the chat support.

[Q] Touchpad stops working only after unlocking screen

Hi,
I have a weird bug with the touchpad of my phone.
It stops working after unlocking the locked screen.
Ok, here is what happens:
I dropped my galaxy W on the road, then someone drove over it...
After this accident, the LCD screen as well as the glass broke but the phone could still start and was ringing when called.
I decided to take my chance and bought the parts to fix it. I have changed the digitizer and the LCD screen.
The phone boots just fine.
I am able to swipe to unlock the phone and access the home screen.
However, once I access the home screen, the touchpad doesn't respond anymore! Volume buttons, home button and power buttons are still working fine. Options and return button are not working too.
I am even able to access my missed calls from the locked screen if I press on the missed call button directly on the locked screen.
I have tried to access the recovery mode. By pressing volume up+home+power, I can access it, but I then need to press onto the "options" button which is not answering. I am stuck again.
I have also tried to access the downloading mode. I can access the "warming!" menu (with explainations about the dangers related to custom OS), but the phone stops answering after that. I press the volume button up or down nothing happens.
Is it a software issue or a hardware issue (related to the motherboard?)
Thanks for you help.
liquid can be contacted. Odin or try the setup ..:good:

[Q] Soft Keys and Home Button

Hi
I have a problem with the soft keys and home button on my Note 8. They will work find responsing to both finger and s-pen touch. They then stop responding to finger touch althoug the menu and back buttons continue to respond to the s-pen. The problem is real intermittent because after a while they will start responding to finger touch again. I was on the Flex ROM and thought that this might be a problem so reverted to stock. This did not fix the problem. Has anyone had a similar issue? I thought it might be a hardware issue but when I boot into recovery the soft keys work fine.
Cheers
Richard

Home button strange problem

Hi, a few months ago my home button gets a "lag", just not working. Then everything was ok. But now again it stopped working and probably forever. I can click to go to home but do not read the fingerprint and do not work gestures .. what can I do in this situation? The replacement of the button is rather off, because I have broken glass
