The search and back buttons don't work at all. The home button performs as the back button, and the menu button is fine.
I've tried many different rooms as well as kernels. I've also used klies to go back to factory default. Nothing helps. Any ideas?

Your sig says you have a Nexus, and the GT-I9100 doesn't actually have a dedicated search button. So my guess is you flashed an I9100 firmware to a different model phone. Check the label under your battery, what does it say for model?
Its a friend's phone. He has it right now and I can't remember what the model says underneath but the boot screen says GT-i9100.
Its an AT&T Galaxy S II

AT&T Galaxy S II is NOT I9100. It's SGH-I777. Boot screen changed because wrong firmware was flashed. Flash an I777 firmware (go to the AT&T Galaxy SII section to get one) and it will all be fixed.
I see, I'll give it a try. Thank you!

Make sure you get an I777 firmware.

Homescreens
Fix: If you have custom rom or kernel in accordance with an custom home launcher and lock screen, make sure you dont set a lock screen pin or pattern in the standard stock settings under Locations and security. If you do, your phone will not be able to recognize either the stock Launcher or your custom launcher as the default launcher thus not being able to link the capacitive home button to either, rendering it useless and unusable after reboot.
I had this problem today and realized that my screen kept flashing to the stock lock screen when i unlocked my screen from Go Locker so i went into Locations and Settings and disabled my pin there. This fixed my (Samsung Exhibit 2's) apparently broken capacitive Home and Search buttons :laugh: Hope that helps, and if you couldn't follow it, sorry

Your problem had absolutely nothing to do with his problem. Try reading the thread again. Plus, the thread was over a month old.
Flawd did you find a solution? Ive similar problem probably because i left the phone on charger overnight

Read the thread again, dude. You DON'T have the same problem. I read your other thread. You (apparently) have an i9100. He did not; either he or his friend flashed an i9100 firmware to an i777 phone. The solution for him (flashing an i777 firmware) will not work for you if you, in fact, have an i9100.
@ctomgee!
Thanks for the alert. And i understand his phone is a different phone and i shouldnot flash a non i9100 firmware which was advised to him. Thats why i asked him whether his problem was solved at all. He hasn't mentioned success/no-success so far. I am not an android user at fetus stage.
And i edited my post. I should have used the word "similar" instead of "same". I am quite frustrated these days.

Right; I was telling you that his problem was caused because he (or whoever) flashed an i9100 firmware to an i777. That root cause means any solution he found (which was probably to flash an i777 firmware instead of an i9100 firmware) will not be valid for your situation, since you have an i9100, and not an i777.

Means you are probably missing your keystr file. The fix has been discussed dozens of times already. Please search for this. FYI, you will need root to implement the fix.

I updated my AT&T Galaxy S II I-777 last night and everything seems to be working great except for a delay in haptic feedback and general action when pressing the Home button. Anybody else having this issue with the new update, or have any idea why this may be? Possible fixes? Thanks.

You have not really provided enough info for people to help you.
You need to provide:
What ROM are you loading.
How you loaded it.
What Version.
etc.
Also I would suggest searching the forums and putting this in the proper thread
for the ROM you are loading (you will get much better help that way).
But dude she said....she updated her sgs2 last night....so wouldnt u assume she meant the new upgrade? And as far as haptic feedback home, yes there is a slight delay.

I'm a dude. I updated from stock 2.3.6 to stock 4.0.3 via Kies, manually by clicking (tools), (update and restore firware) entering the model number and the serial number putting g the phone in download mode and updating. Every other button is immediately responsive like they all were before the update. Only the home button takes about a half second to respond and to feel the haptic feedback.
Quickly double press home button. Does it open voice assistant or something? If yes, it has the same problem as 2.3.4 stock rom.

Thank you for the further info.
I am not experiencing what you describe, but I also
updated via the standard update method in Kies.
My phone is a bit snappier over all. The only real item that is slower is the
transition from the home screen to the applications menu and back again.
I'd like to invite you over to This thread, a few of us are running it and someone there may have a better answer.

I also used the standard method of Kies coming from rooted KH7 and process went fine...I am using Apex launcher for more of an ICS look and when disabling the "fly-in" animation the home button response is instant.
Hi!
I'm using a recent CM9 nightly with default kernel.
I would like to have your opinion : about 3/4 a week my SGS3 is "stuck" when it's locked : impossible to wake up using home or power button, the screen stays black.
The weird thing is that when it happens, the phone is not frozen : I can still hear music on the headphones and control volume using Up/Down buttons.
Sometimes I let it stuck and receive a notification some minutes later and the phone magically can be unlocked again, screen wakes when I push Home button.
Very weird and annoying when that happens.
My question is : what do you think it could be? An app? How can I debug this and know what prevents the screen to wake up when that happens?
Thanks.

Thanks, but is that the kind of easy answer you all tell when you don't know the exact answer?
When I installed CM9 a week ago, I did do a full wipe...
I think that next time it happens, I will try to connect my SGS3 on USB and do a adb logcat, maybe I'll find useful information.

Having a similar problem to yourself. Installed CM9 rom had a play and then went back to omegaV9 performing a full wipe using the instructions on this site before reflashing.
Since then when my phone is locked screen off then i unlock either via swipe or using security code (digits ) it looks like the phone unlocks but sort of does a warm boot with black screen for a few seconds with the two buttons down the bottom light up.
When it starts it looks like all the apps have stopped and are restarting again.
I re flashed again omega 9 thought i had it sorted but it started playing up again this evening.
If anyone has any ideas please post..
Hi, I'm a newbie here. I also exprience this problem with my samsung GT-i9300. I hoping to see a fix with this problem.
This forum has been so helpful to new android users. Thank you guys.
when you select an email in the email app, it highlights it but overlapps the top part, as in the screenshot? it happens in the gallery app too when selecting a picture.
Confirmed to be in 2.7 too. But I'm not sure if it's just a feature/theme-thing or not.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
yeah wasnt sure if it was a design feature or not but it looks untidy
Just to add that Ive played about with dpi. default is 240. ive tried going higher and lower than that. still the same result.
Lockscreen issue
Whenever I unlock my phone, I press the power button and the screen will flash for a second as if it was unlocked, then it will go to the lockscreen. I don't know if it makes a difference, but the same happens when I press the home button to unlock the phone.
Has anyone experienced that and / or would know how to fix it?

Hi guys,
i been having this very annoying problem with my GS3 LTE (9305) but when i compare to other GSIII's it seems only mine behave like this but i cant find any reason or any option for the cause.
Basically the problem is that when i call someone and the phone screen goes to off sometime i want to wake up the screen and press the button below the screen and what my phone does is to minimize the call application but on my friends phone the call application stays and only the screen is turned on.
Can you guys please help me finding the root cause to why my call application minimizes itself when the screen is off?
I been searching for every option there is and cant find anything useful, also i have never installed any other dialer application or anything like that.
Please help me this is getting me nuts.

I meant Galaxy S3 Jelly Bean roms... Jkays framework fixes this issue.
If i recall correctly it has something to do with a setting in s-voice I think. Also it happens with any application when the screen turns off.

Yes, this issue isn't unique to the dialler. If you let the screen timeout with any application then press the home key, it returns to the home screen.
The workaround is to make sure than in the S-Voice settings, you have "Open via the home key" option set. After this, a single home key press will wake the device without returning to the home screen.

Sadly that didnt work either. I had actually S Voice disabled but enabled and did what you said but it still minimizes the call application
EDIT: very strange , tested calling 4-5 times and suddenly after my friend called me it started working. I called my other cell before and it works fine now. THANK ALLOT MAN.
EDIT2: funny i tried to disable S-Vice again and to my surprise it stil works.
