Just got my replacement note 4,not sure if old one did this,but when after having screen asleep when hitting power or home button to wake screen up the touch keys will sometime lightly blink once before coming completely on with screen,doesn't do it every time,it's a bit random,wondering if anyone else see's this flicker?
To test if you turn off touch key duration completely in display settings,and then turn screen off and back on u can see the touch keys still ever so slightly light up,at least on mine,just trying to figure out if normal or not.

It's really faint can't see in normal light,have to be in dark.
Really?Noone?
Yes, I see this on mine. And it doesn't really bother me.
Ok lol as long as I'm not alone
Mine do as well. Hadn't noticed it until I read this thread. Also, I couldn't really tell until I covered tje the screen and just focused on the touch keys.

Hello,
I am new to Nexus one coming from Iphone 3G. the phone is quite good but i experience a little problem.
When the phone is plugged in and is charging, the touch screen becomes very inaccurate. Typing on keyboard is impossible...etc, the only solution is to use the trackball. Everything is gone after unplugging it from the power cord.
Do you have any advice for solving this ?
Best Regards,
I've heard that if you press the power button to put the phone asleep and then press it again to wake the phone would reset the touchscreen

Is the phone getting hot while you are charging it?
I found that when it gets really hot that it can mess up the touchscreen a little.
Common problem, no fix for it. Just black out the screen, and the problem resets itself and goes away. Takes 1 second. It's a hardware issue.
i have same problem too....
sorry... wrong post
Thank you for your answer, i understand that plugged or hot can mess the touch screen. It's not "fixable", i will live with it.
I sent mine back 3 times and it is finally fixed. I have a perfect touch screen. Have not had san issue in over 2 weeks. Send back and leave note with your phone. As I said I would not except no for an answer.

Seem to be having real issues at the moment with a lack of response from these buttons. Don't remember the phone being like it when I first got it in fact it seemed very responsive. I find now I am having to press the back button several times or even kind of having to slide my finger over the button to get it to resister. I can recall a previous phone of mine having a very similar issue, think it was the Sony erricson satio but really did spoil the operation of the phone.
Anyone else experience this?

Operation of the dock shortcuts is fine as is the sensitivity of the home screen, even with the screen protector on, it's just the back and home button.

There has been a few threads on this, seems like a common issue. However theyre apparently looking at a software update to improve sensitivity- https://twitter.com/htc_uk/status/319748247075819520
I can confirm it... Is that a software problem?

I'm having the same issue, which is starting to annoy me. Not sure whether these things get worse or not, but as my wife's hasn't got the same issue, I'm not sure it's software??!! Should we be asking for the phone to be changed???
Is there supposed to be vibration when pressing the soft keys? I'm not getting any vibration and it would go some way towards helping me with the responsiveness of the buttons.

This is a software issue in the kernel.. HTC or the XDA developers should have no issues fixing it

Agreed. It's more the lack of feedback that makes them difficult to use. I have the feeling that they are sensitive enough. The problem is that there is no feedback. You just don't know where the tap is registered.

Vibrations can be enabled through settings.
I have to use my thumb to use them, they don't register my finger at all, just so annoying, I would rather a home button like the GS2.

I have it set in "Settings" -> "Sound" -> "Vibrate on touch" but I still dont get any vibrate on soft key press.
Vibrations for the capacitive buttons are turned off if you have the power saver on, regardless if you've turned vibrations on via settings.
For some reason I'm getting a much better response from the Back and Home keys when I use nova launcher as opposed to the stock sense launcher.

Ah thank you, it's working for me now.
On the HTC one the home and back button does not come on all the time. When i turn the phone on should those the home and back button light up right away??? mine don't. If im in the dark they sometimes come on, not all the time. Just trying to figure out how those 2 buttons are suppose to work.
thanks
steve
They are triggered by (a lack of) ambient light via the light sensor.
Mine come on as soon as i press the power button and turn off soon as i press of

Mine light up when not needed and refuse to shine in the dark. So far I've not been worried about it; thumb finds the right place most of the time

The light sensors on the front top left determine when to turn it off or on. cover them with your finger and the home and back should light up. If not - the light sensors are not working. I've noticed that very little light will trigger these things. even the light from the lcd will be enough light to not allow the home and back keys to light up especially in the dark... Hopefully there will be a tweak forth coming.

My sensors must be faulty then as mine don't come on when I put my fingers over the sensor?

do you have a screen protector on? try taking it off and see
So on Monday I went out and got a shiny new Turbo. I'm loving it so far and hoping for root and or bootloader unlock eventually. This morning though something odd happened. For a period of about ten seconds my capacitive buttons quit working completely - no vibrate when I touched them, no nothing. The phone wasn't frozen or anything. Then they suddenly started working again. About five minutes later it did it again, but it hasn't done it since. Should I be worried? What should I do?
I'm having the exact same issue, seems to be random.
Ok I have the Moto Maxx and noticed that too... then I figured that in my case it happened because I was touching the screen with my palm while tying to reach for the capacitive buttons. The buttons stop working while you are touching the screen. Check if that is what is happening to you.

I've even had it do that if there is any liquid on the screen...like maybe a few small drops of water after you just washed your hands or something like that.
Does the proximity sensor disable the buttons? Thinking that if the phone thinks it is near your face for a call, it might shut off the screen and buttons to prevent accidental presses.

They will automatically dim and turn off when in a well lit area/room. If you are in a dark environment they will always be on.
Just hold the device under a lamp and watch buttons dim slowly off. Turn lamp off or go to a dark room and watch them illuminate back to life after 8-10 seconds.
Pretty standard, however, if they are going on and off constantly in the dark, than most likely a defective unit.

I'm pretty sure this is what happened to me, after playing around with it I noticed my phone does the same thing. That's a load off my chest, I was a bit worried about it. thanks!
Screen pinning vs Long press for menu
Just a note, I recently discovered that if you have lollipop screen pinning enabled under the security settings and also the "Use long press for menu" setting enabled under display settings, they seem to conflict and cause all kinds of key lag with any of the capacitive keys. Must be because both utilize a long press of the recents/overview key. As long as you only enable one or the other it should be fine. Just thought I'd throw that out there.
I have had this problem too, it simply has to do with the fact that the screen is and capacitive keys are combined. You can use one or other, but not both. If you encounter this, just mess around on the screen for a few seconds and the keys should work again.
Clear cache. That usually fixed the problem for me.

Are the hardware navigation buttons not supposed to light up? I get that you could potentially use them by feel in the dark but i never even considered they wouldn't be back lit when i purchased it. If they can light up, where is the option to turn them on?

They do not light up. They also do not move or change. Menu, home, back. Took me a few years but I finally have that memorized, sometimes I can even remember in the terror of the inky black of night.
Edit: Wow just reread this post sorry for the unnecessary sarcasm, been a rough day. But no they don't light up, there is no way to make them light up, but it's never given me a problem and I've never heard anyone else have issues with it

Thank you. Guess I'll just have to learn. I guess I could just use on screen nav if it bothers me that much.
