Defy Buttons Problem

Hello everyone.
I have a really wierd problem with defy's buttons (menu, home, back, search). They stoped working at all.
So for a couple months I have been having strange problems with the buttons. It looked like home button was pushed and app drawer was opening/closing really fast. Reset has helped, but temporary.
And about a week ago the buttons stoped working at all. I tried to flash another ROM (official 2.2), but it didn't help.
And now I don't know what to do. I goggled it, but there is no information about such problem.
If somebody can give an advice, please let me know.
Thanks.

Nobody ? That's sad. XDA was my last hope) Well, I guess I will sell it for parts.

try doing an sbf. if that doesn't work, then there is hardware issue.
edit: dont know if you already did..since you said you flashed an official 2.2 rom..

Don't know if this will work but it won't hurt to try

Download the files and android commander search it up. It's easier than manually using adb commands.
Connect your phone to pc and make sure usb debugging is on
In android commander navigate to system/usr/layout
Then click on push on the toolbar in android commander
Select the files you downloaded then right click on each file that you just added then click on properties
make sure each one looks like this
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

Maybe this will fix your buttons?
from http://android.site666.info/indextricks.htm :
home key, search button, security lock, power button options: repair them
Some phones do strange things at random: your home and search buttons stop working, your security lock won't load (leaving your data wide open), and if you hit the power button then reboot is your only option, because silent mode and flight mode are missing from the list.
There's nothing wrong with the buttons on your phone, but there's something wrong with the software that controls them.
• Fix: backup your apps and data, reset your phone to factory settings, restore your backups.
Make sure you have a full backup or two and check that the backups work before resetting your phone.

You probably can if you can get your device rooted bit without root access I don't think so

I'm trying to do this as well as I am right-handed and would like the back button on the right side. Anyone found a solution yet?

You need to be rooted and then it can be done.

Go to THIS link then go to the download page and grab the Stock SystemUI + Framework with minor mods – DOWNLOAD and install it. Then go into System UI Tuner in settings.

Unfortunately, I can't find it again, but one of the OTAs had a tool built in to do this in the UI Tweaker. It might have been the "V" version but I haven't been able to get it again.

Then you might not have any choice but to side load your latest OTA or factory reset since your not rooted. ??

I didn't want to reset so i tried to simulate a reset by redoing pixel setup, via activity, and so far it works i think

Wrongly uninstalled, not disabled.. Sorry

Same thing. You can get it from there.
Or go setting-apps-disabled apps, and check there too

My list is empty.
Unfortunately, I uninstalled Game Suite (not "disable" - "uninstall").
We need some kind apk - i hope it will work.
I try apk from Honor 8 (i found it od XDA) but i cant install - error.

Here you go
https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=1gJP8I9B_hyiZzQt6O7o9OXVoYAPyNWwd
Game center and game suite via share from my phone.

I installed both. The app works but the GPU turbo is not working. In Game Suite, there is still an acceleration mode instead of turbo mode. In the description is the info that the acceleration mode affects the battery. That was not the point. The game suite with the link has the version 8.0.1.101 while the other people with everything works correctly have an older version.

You dont need a button for gpu turbo..its automatic when you play compatible games. I think)

one more thing u can do..go to setting>app &notification>app info> 3 dot menu >reset app preferrence

1. You go to settings and then apps & notification then go-to app info then find Google play store " Click to Force stop" then click storage & memory then click clear data , then restart your phone that's working fine.
I had the same issue every 3 4 days and I'm doing this and working for me
Sorry for my horrible English.
