General :: Home / Power Buttons Not Functioning - Keychar And Keylayout Files Missing
May 21, 2013
Earlier I've posted about losing my keychar and keylayout folders but however downloading some files and folders from the internet and from other (non-samsung phones) my keys started working...However my home key, back key, the power keys doesn't work!
I probably think that some files are missing from my system folder (keychar and keylayout folder). I do not want to re-install my android once again. (I do not have backups either)

For periods of time, my Home & Back buttons doesn't work on my Desire. Sometimes, they work perfectly without any problems. My menu and search buttons always work fine. Is it a loose connection that i can repair somehow?
It has never been dropped or damaged in any way. I've tried to find someone with the same problem as I, but with no luck.

I have a rooted Galaxy S3 with Android 4.1.2, and for some strange reason they've changed the screenshot combination away from the Power+VolDown that other Androids use to Power+Home which can't realistically be pressed one-handed. How can I change it back to Power+VolDown?

Basically what happens is my home button stops functioning. Instead of taking me back to my default screen, the screen will just flash. So I have to use the back arrow now.
I have launcherpro and beautiful widgets installed, but I dont know if either of these would cause the issue.
Ive had to reboot my phone several times before its fixed, then it will randomly happen again.
Has anyone experienced this? Please help. This is so frustrating and annoying.
I unstalled launcher pro plus and beautiful widgets and rebooted and its still happening. Im trying to find out if this is an issue others have experienced or if I have a defective unit that I need to return?

I Have created a gamelayout for my ps2 usb adapter controller, the problem is that it doesn't get detected in Android, it's detected under linux (I attach some images) and the .kl file -It's inside "Vendor_12bd_Product_e002.zip" yes it's codified in UNIX, not MAC or DOS-.I followed the tutorial from here.
I don't know if this has to anything but my tablet is a chinese Pipo S1 dual core Rockhip 1.6ghz gpu mali 400 with the stock software -Jellybean 4.1.1-.As I stated, the controller gets detected, but the problem is that I want it to get detected as it should -Since it has plug for 2 usb controllers- in "Android" not in "Linux", hence, the .kl I used is not being detected and doesn't apply my mapping.
PS: I already did the changes for r w r r, I used the terminal too -command ls -l /system/usr/keylayout- (image attached) Do I need to declare this new Keylayout somewhere?
Edit: The new configuration does get dettected though, the device isn't is because the modules are lacking due to the kernel source is not released and haven't compiled the .ko for generic gamepads

I just got my first android phone, the droid x yesterday. Loving it so far but I've got a minor issue that drives me insane (even though it really is a non issue). I've got the volume keys on the right, and then the home and back keys at the bottom front. Whenever I click home or back, they do the home and back function, but also do volume up and volume down with every click. Its painfully annoying, because it vibrates and pops up the volume window over the top of everything, every time. And obviously, the home and back keys are two of the most clicked buttons on the phone, so its constantly going up n down. I think this also adds to battery drainage as its double functioning/working twice as much. Does anyone know of a way to disable the home lkey and back key from controlling my volume as well?

Those of you who have root access in there devices may have noticed icons missing on there home screens. If you are wondering why this is due to using Titanium Backup to move apps to the SD card. This only happens with certain apps, usually only the ones that can't be moved from the devices settings. To fix this simply move said apps back to internal storage and all will be well.

I have a strange problem after using cm10 for a few weeks. suddenly my home and volume buttons aren't working most of the time. When I want to decrearse/increase volume and press the volume button (no matter if i press it fast again and again or if i wait a few second between pressing) it only goes one step louder every 5 seconds. Also when I want to lower volume. i also cant use cwm recovery cause my home button only works maybe once per hour. Now I have twrp touch recovery.
What i tried:
- wiped everything several times
- flashed gb and ics stock firmwares
- flashed different kernels

Regarding the hardware buttons on HTC Legend - how are you finding the quality of these to be?
I'm somewhat concerned about my power button especially as I've had the phone for about 2 weeks now and already it's almost pushed down to the level of the phone. Granted that I probably press it no less than 30 times a day to unlock the phone but still...
I also read somewhere that there might be another option to unlock the phone instead of pushing the power button, anyone know what this might be? (If it isn't a myth that is.) Noting the wide range of apps out there, I wonder if it might be possible to change the hardware button for locking, and maybe put it to another button (or to enable some type of rotation between buttons). Any other tips would be great!
My home button too is feeling a bit slack... Can anyone comment on this and how their button feels?
On the bright side, the volume rocker is perfect.

If you'll recall, the power button, volume rocker, micro usb port as well as backplate were all the infamous red color, prior to the Incredible's release. A few of us actually liked the uniqueness of the red backplate and photos of a version of the phone were even leaked, sporting a black backplate & red buttons.
I noticed yesterday that the micro USB port trim (currently black) has a little piece of the plastic chipped away. The interesting thing I noticed is that, below the black, I can see a hint of the red. Personally, I'd prefer red accents for the three areas.

Is anyone else annoyed by the fact that the volume and power buttons are positioned at the same level on opposite sides of the phone? When I try to hit the power button I usually hit the volume button as well because of the positioning so my ringer goes from vibrate to on or changes volume. The power button really should have been up top.

Is there an app out there that can power down the phone without having to hold the power button? I am not talking about reboots, I mean a full power down from using only the touchscreen?

For the life of me, I can't seem to get to the power bar widget. I want a shortcut on my home screen. I have tried the method of: long press Home Screen>HTC Widget and I don't see it available there. Is it possible I deleted it? Can I get it back?
Thanks. I tried searching but could not find anything.

I wonder if there is a way to expand the power buttons "phone options" with things like 'reboot' for example. Yes, I know some themes have this ability, but I am looking just to expand the power button offerings and wonder if there is a root option or file edit or something can do so. Not interested in installing a theme just for this, they are not my gig, so I will pass on that as an option - so if the answer is no then, no worries.

Has anyone worked out if it is possible to set one of the buttons on the bottom of the Desire to bring up the lock screen rather than using the power button at the top. Only just got the phone 3 days ago but this is (sor far) the only niggle I have.

I dropped my phone from a height of less than 2 feet (knocked it off a table) and the back cover and battery fell off/out. So I popped it all back together, but just noticed that the volume buttons on the side of the phone are missing!

I'm trying to use the SWM and when I have everything all set up it tells me I have no device set up. I looked to see if I could find drivers for me Xperia X10 and all I kept getting linked to was the sony PC companion that apparently had those drivers installed. When I installed it and did all the set up stuff it still wouldn't recognize my phone other than as a removable disk. I have the USB debugging turned on, .Net framework installed, and supposed the drives yet it still won't read my phone.

I am currently an iphone 4s user that is tired of ios and its limitations. I am interested in switching to android. One thing that I would really love to have on my phone is a functional to-do list on my lockscreen that I could see every time that I look at my phone. Is this possible on android and do you have any recommendations any apps that can do this?

I flashed jelly bean onto my galaxy nexus over the past weekend.Playing around with it, I've noticed that voice actions just don't work.Every time I say 'Call Contact', it searches for the phrase instead of performing the action. I've tried other voice actions too like setting alarms, writing emails but nothing works. My phone just performs a web query each time.

My 3 year old loves playing the puzzle game. Great way to entertain her for 20 minutes. But I really gotta watch her. She was just playing and hit the home button was still trying to move a shape but brought up the recent calls list and dialed my boss! She doesn't mean to do it, but her hands are small. So, is there a way to lock those buttons while she's using the game? It would be nice Or would it be more of an individual app feature that I'd need to contact the developers for the feature request?
