Hey everyone!
Last wednesday i upgraded my phone to ICS(4.0.3) using Odin! Everything worked great until this morning. I got up and realised that my phone is in the voice command... it didn't care about it so i closed the voice commad and went back to sleep. During the day i played a lot on my phone and i always had to close voice command...it comes up many times when i'm using my phone. i got angry and deleted everything from the phone but it came up again...then i did a factory reset but it continued. I tried to uprgrade my phone using odin but something went wrong so i put back the previous rom. I did it with odin ( i didn't use any backup, i loaded up a new rom) but the voice command welcomed me again....
Any idea?
Can you check if your home button is faulty? Maybe it is and double clicks itself thus launching voice command. You are on stock ics right? What do you mean by delted everything? You uninstalled all of your apps?

Try disabling it in settings > apps
and change your thread title...It is not a virus LOL
i cannot disable this :S the button cant be because i checked it. i'm on official ICS. i think it could be something in the firmware :S
MOD: I checked it again!!! It could be the button. I don't know how to clear it or what to do. Is there any way to disable this command for double tapping?

Only way is root the mobile and remove it or take it to SC and say your problem they might fix the button (if it is button problem)
Everything above or you got a habit of double clicking the home button?
It is the button... i think i pressed it a little bit stronger than i had to and it stocked. I blowed it yesterday and now it`s OK.
I knew it. Well, congratulations on that buddy.

ive searched for things such as "sleep crash", "sleep bug", "screen wont turn on" etc. but can seem to find anything that tells me anything other than turn off wifi (which i tried to no avail). My issue is that when i press the power button for 1 second to turn off my archos 70 screen it will not turn back on. Same thing happens when i let it fall asleep. If i leave it plugged in and not allow it to turn off screen i have no issues. My apologies if i just don't know what words to search for ... i tried. In on the .4 firmware (latest) with no mods. This has happened through the last 3 firmwares from archos. Any ideas?
Have a you tried a full reinitialization (in settings > repair and formatting) and then reinstalling the latest firmware? If you have just been updating the firmware, the problem may have been deeper.
Thats strange... I have a similar issue with my 101: when i leave my tablet asleep for more than 20min, I can't turn it back on without doing a hard reset. Now it only happens when I simply shut off the screen and leave it alone. If I hold the power button and use deep sleep though, it works just fine. When I can't get it started I notice the little power light is on, but the screen stays black... any suggestions??
I have read somewhere in this forums that re-calibrating your screen from Settings might help, but I still didn't tied - if someone try please post results.

just tried it . i hit the icon to disable sleeping. i pressed the screen button and when i went to turn screen back on it would not wake. Did i use the app wrong?
No, you use the app rigth. The app only disable deepsleep.

i had the same problem on my 32, albeit not that frequently. Downloading the FW and reflashing it seems to have made the problem go away.
You know what? Strangely enough after I replied to your post I downloaded the latest fw (2.1.4) and the problem seems to have gone away no special flash no repair I just installed and rebooted and so far no prob... I will keep testing this and post results
Edit* Ok so far so good... no problems. I'm actually surprised I'm getting better response from the device despite everyone's warnings about 2.1.4. But that's another topic. I think its just a bad install of your current FW, but I'm just guessing... My device has had the issue since I got it, I just decided to live with it but like I said the latest update fixed it... So it HAS to be the FW

err I'm afraid that I spoke too soo. My device keeps getting stuck and won't awake from sleep. This seems to happen most after switching wifi on or off, specifically whilst the device is playing music.

how are you installing the firmware? maybe im doing it wrong. I let the device update to latest 2.1.4 and then i wiped it via the settings and repair menu in android.
Edit**
like this??:
Step 1: Download the android 2.2 firmware for your archos tablet from here,you might a get a false positive notification from your browser as they are unaware of .AOS format, so ignore that and download it.
Step 2:Go to Menu > Settings > Device Storage & USB connection > USB connection mode of your tablet and set the connection mode to Mobile Media Device (MTP) and now connect your Tablet to pc.
Step 3:Now when the tablet is detected you will see a hard drive icon,double tap and open it and copy and paste the firmware (.AOS) file into the hard drive(make sure you dont copy it in any folder inside it like Music,Videos etc).
Unplug the USB connection and the Archos device will automatically locate the update file and will prompt you for the update,just follow the screen options and you are done,if it does not prompt you for an update then you might have accidentally misplaced the file in one of the folders,just locate the .AOS file from the file manager and and open it to start the update.
No no it wasn't that complicated... It was actually the simplest fix for a difficult problem. My device when I got it was running 2.1.2 out the box... Even then It had the screen problem. When I got the chance I installed 2.1.3 OVER THE AIR. Straight from Archos. Still had the issue though, I figured it would have been fixed but was greatly disappointed... Then I sort of just lived with the problem for awhile... I saw that the 2.1.4 update was released but was wary about downloading it because sooo many people are having issues. Just the other day though, the device cut off on me again and I figured to hell with it... So I downloaded the 2.1.4 OTA as well... no website, no manual install, I just let the device run its course on its own. After the update, it rebooted normally and it's been working great since... Sorry to hear not everyone is so fortunate... I really hope this helps somewhat
My SGS2 stopped vibrating. Tried flashing, un-rooting, restoring stock and factory settings. None of these worked.
I am inclined to think that it is a hardware problem.
Has anyone else been dealing with issue? I read some posts on XDA regarding this matter but they were software related as opposed to hardware. Can anyone post instructions on how to fix it or provide any solutions for this issue?
If its hardware, why not flash stock, remove binary flash count with USB jig, and return for warranty?

Cannot get jig in Palestine. Bought the phone from the UK. Sending it back will be problematic. I will look for a repair shop.
Thanks for the quick reply
That's a "bummer" (bad luck). You could make a jig, but as you said that it would be problematic to return. Hope you can sort it easily. Sorry, can't think of anything of use right now.

hey there,
i got the same problem. no more vibrating at all. not with calls or notifications and not as haptic feedback. it started today (was still working in the morning), though i did not drop the phone or anything.
i am still hoping too find that it's a sw-problem. but all potential solutions i find do not help. so i guess i have to contact samsung.
but before i do that i have to get rid of all "hacking".
could you plz tell me what i have to do?
i have now cm9 20120402 nightly.
but i still have a cwm-recovery-backup of the original touchwiz (gingerbread).
-so first i make a backup of my current rom via cwm and of all my apps via titanium and store everything on my pc.
-i flash my touchwiz-backup
-i get one of those: http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_sb_no...ld-keywords=Samsung+Galaxy+S2+USB+Jig&x=0&y=0 , plug it in, wait til its done and remove it again.
after that, samsung will never know i "messed" with the phone??
or do i have to consider/do something else?
tyvm!!

I have the same issue.
When I was on my stock 2.3.5, I found a workaround:
- go into test mode (dial *#0*#)
- find the vibrate button, when you press it, it shouldn't work like you expect
- go back
- plug in your headphones and push the cable a bit to the left
- test vibrate again - this time it should work
- pull the cable out while vibrating, still pushed to the left, vibrations should stay on
I know it sounds crazy but it seems the hardware part that controls the vibrations is near to the jack port - excessive use of headphones, like it was case, must have damaged it somehow.
However, now I'm on CM9, so no test mode for me, I'm achieving the same effect by bashing the back button, so I get semi-constant vibration. I know, It's ridiculous.
Have the same problem here, I think it's software related because the shut down vibration stopped working when I flashed CM9 ICS, I can't remember if it was working anywhere else though. But now I'm back to 2.3.5 and it's not working at all. Did a Factory Reset, Cleaned Cache before and after the flash. Also used the Jig to reset my counter. Any clues?
I am experiencing the same issue.
Yesterday, I downgraded from 4.0.3 back to 2.3.5 as I was having a lot of problems with ICS. Now, my phone works fine again except for the fact that it does not vibrate anymore. (Which it did fine in 4.0.3 and before in 2.3.5)
I tried the trick Lechium06 mentioned in this thread but that did not work for me.
Anyone else having this issue? More important, anyone have a solution???

I saw something similar on CM9 thread, they said it could be a "bad flash", not a corrupted rom but the lack of proper cleanup before and after the flash. But I cleaned up everything before and after and I don't like reconfiguring the whole phone again for nothing.
it happend again.
dont recall what i did or if i did something last time at all. but it worked for over a year now. and now, my sgs2 doesnt vibrate at all, i tried all possible settings, tested with z-device and rebooted. nothing.
apprechiate any hint!
thx!!

AW: [Q] Vibrate function doesn't work anymore, hardware issue
since i had that before, i ruled out a hardware issue. it happend when i played with the system settings. but as i sayed, i tried to reverse everything i did. now after i updated to 0206 and wiped cache and dalvik, still no vibration.
is there anything i could have missed?
is there a possibility to reset all settings to default without deleting all my data?

I assume since your posting in xda developers that you are rooted?
If so, just back up data with titanium backup app and factory reset, setup system and then restore USER apps and data only.

Did you install another rom?
My vibration for example didn't work with some cm10.1 nightlies
it started in cm10.1 20130203. then i tried wipe cache and dalvik. nothing. then i updated to 0206 (wiped cache and dalvik again) > still nothing. went to bed. got up. everything ok! its vibration again! i am 100% sure, it did not work, when i left it on my desk last night. this morning, i checked for missed calls and it took a moment until i realized: i got haptik feedback back on patternunlock and keystrokes! checked ringtone-vibration: fine as well!
dont ask me how! would still like to know for myself.
thx,
kws
AW: [Q] Vibrate function doesn't work anymore, hardware issue
call me stupid!
suddenly this evening my phone stopped vibrating again. then i realized: quiet hours! i turned off haptik feedback at night.
could slap myself. at least ill find this thread again, next time i screw it again....

*edit: did factory reset now its all fine again!
It was probably because your home app wasn't in memory/was not running. I just killed my home app for a test and mine did the same.

I was having problems with my phone and went to the att support center. They did a factory restore then reflashed the stock rom. Since then I have not been able to access vlingo by double tapping the home key. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Long press search button
You probably have the 2.3.6 update. It removes double tap feature.

Thanks. I do have the new update =/. I set vlingo through the long tap search button method above. Now I'm having the battery problem that most seem to be having, and a few other problems but oh well, I'm not waiting an hour at the support center for a third time for this phone.
I just have no luck with Samsung's Galaxy S series of phones.
Hello Everyone
I have a small issue with my S6 basically what it is that the Recent apps and back button do the same thing open Recent apps. I have a look online everyone says its a software issue but i done everything Hard, Soft, Factory reset and still same. So now I know that its not software it will be the hardware. Maybe any one know witch part of the phone is responsible for the back button functions and would I be able to replace it? Without replacing the phone?
I tried to replace the one of the boards of the phone( the one that has charging port headphone jack and sothing else) but that didn't help. I cant get phone in for the warranty do to i have voided KNOX .
So any ideas would help.
Thank you all
:good:
Acutally this is software. There is a file in the system that controls what those buttons to. You can try and flash your firmware via odin to see if that fixes the issue.

I have tryed that several times did not help. Everything same
You cold try remapping the buttons with the all in one gestures app.
I have tryed remap dose not help do to i tooks like that back button thinks that it is a recent apps button
Root your device use xposed and gravity box maybe fix.
If still problem use custom kernel like arter97.

Same problem here!
Back button thinks is recent apps , sometimes work sometimes not , think is an software bug or something.
The problem started after android 6 update.
Downgrade to 5.1.1 dont make a difference.
Some ideas to solve that?
I'm having the exact same issue with mine. Have a solution yet? Cleared cache, checked safe mode and factory reset. Same issue.
No still did not fix it. But i havent tryed the mehdips3 solution do to dont know how to do it

Hi, I have the same problem with te back key. What solved problem for me was installing the app called ,, all in one gestures'' ( free on the market),
in the app, go to the ,, hard keys'' , enable de the app from te accesability tab, at the back key tab select single tap and select the ,, back '' from the submenu.
Hope works for you guys !
