This is the only thing stopping me from getting this phone.. I'm trying to determine how wide spread the issue is. I figured a poll was the best way to see how wide spread the issue was, and whether its worth it to shop around to try and find a working phone
Mine seems to work fine Its not as sensitive as say my girlfriends Incredible buttons, the ones on the Epic seem to work more like physical buttons but they aren't. You have to use a little force for it to recognize and I actually prefer that because I always found myself coincidently hitting the buttons on my girlfriends Incredible when i didn't mean to/meant to press another button
It is really a non issue for me. Haven't noticed it.
I think if you used one of the defective phones, it would have been obvious.. All the other buttons worked without issue. The back button on the one I tried wouldn't register no matter how hard or how long you pressed it - some times. Some times it would register for a light little hit, other times I'd be pressing down pretty hard and nothing. By the second or third time, you'd feel the feedback buzz (which was pretty cool), and it would actually work..
It was sort of funny, the rep who was trying to sell me the phone started off to try and down play it and say "I'd just have to get used to it"... until I gave it to him. In the end, he agreed there was something wrong.
I didn't want to make the guy try other phones because I was planning on purchasing the phone from my business' phone retailer... It would have been sort of wrong to make the guy go through 3 phones and just leave if I found one that worked..
Not sure if it matters, but what state are you guys in? I'd imagine that similar batches ship to the same region.. I'm in LI, NY
Absolutely never had a problem with the backbutton.
All 4 of my capacative buttons work with light taps AND full presses.
Its hard to tell wherethe buttons are when the lights time out, and you have to hit the button in the right spot for it to register. My nexus was the same with its capacatives.

While I don't think there is an issue with the buttons persay. I was doing some testing and seems there might be some "lag" I was having this issue more with the home button at times. One time after i knew i clicked it i let is sit. took a few seconds but continued to do its thing... So maybe its the same with the back button as well. Next time after you click it once let is sit and see if it proceeds.. that way we know its a lag issue vs button issue. A lag issue would be easier to fix I would think.
First of all NeonMonster, thank you for being awesome with the Nexus One back in the day of rooting it and changing things! Haha.
Secondly,
I had a defective Epic 4G. The back button was the worst of the bunch. I would have to hit it 10-15 times to get it to work. But it wasn't the only faulty button. All of the capactive buttons seemed to falter just about anytime I went to use them.
I went to Sprint the next day and explained the problem and she said I was the first to bring it to their attention. But long story short, she exchanged it and the buttoms work perfectly. There aren't as sensitive as say the EVO or Incredible but they work as intended and the phone I once thought was hopeless and I hated, is now a phone I'm contemplating keeping.
So there are definitely defective devices out there but it is as simple as going in and getting a replacement.
Thanks for everything you guys do!
I picked my Epic on launch day and all was well..my brother on the other hand just got one this afternoon and after we got it activated i hvae noticed his has this same problem.

I didn't notice any lag... Again, I think if you have a defective phone, it would be obvious. A press just didn't register, even if you'd wait..
Yeah, there isn't a lag. It just straight up does not register any contact. You have a defective phone. I took mine back and got a new one and it works EXACTLY like it should. Night and Day!
Buttons work great.
I bought the cheap screen protecter at RS and had it put on in store, my button presses were instant. When I got home and decided I didn't like or really need the screen protector, I took it off and then my button presses didn't register as smoothly may be a quick fix for some that want to use a screen protector.

Aww from the nexus forum?? That was such a fun time! The nexus is truly a phone meant to be rooted. kinda miss that thing but the keyboard on the epic is too good.
But yes, there will always be phones that are defective and need to be replaced.
yeah i noticed some lag on mine. i also tripped out when then home and menu buttons were switched (compared to the evo) and kept pressing the wrong buttons.

That logic doesn't work.
1. Most people that don't have the problem won't vote.
2. Remove the people on the last option and it's 70/30 (at the time I write this).
You might be right with #1 (I don't know), but as for #2 it is 15-14 for people who are and aren't having some sort of problem with the back button (or other buttons)..
I do agree that this is far from scientific, as people who have never used the phone are likely to be voting..
Only read because I had the issue
Yep. I think you might just skip over this thread all together unless you've had the issue. Personally, I got one phone with the issue, exchanged it, and got another with the same problem - although not as bad as the first. However, I haven't returned the second one yet and the problem seems to have gone away. I'm not sure exactly how these buttons are engineered, but I'm wondering if more people with this problem will simply see it go away. FYI: the first phone I had was getting better but it started out as more of a 70% fail/only work with hard mashing.
My back button has a mind of its own :-( it presses itself when it wants to. Very annoying.

My first phone didn't have a working 4g radio. The second had this problem and it is very annoying if your used to a working button I returned it to radio shack. My third phone is perfect in every way.(hardware wise) this was all in the first week of the phone release. I would deffinetly go back and return it.

Is there a known issue with the back button? If I open an app I always have to tap the back button at least twice to go back. I'd like to be able to change my mind a little faster than the epic will let me.

Yes. There have been lots of threads about this issue, apparently a hardware problem on certain shipped units. I had the problem, exchanged my phone for a new one, which has a perfectly functioning Back key. Others have reported similar results.
Yeeeup! My first epic had the back buton issue.. its a hardware issue like the previous poster said.. take yours back for a exchange.. my new one works perfect.

back button
my back and home button were not working properly, went to sprint store on monday and got the run around from a really un motivated sprint rep and was on lunch so I did not want to waste all day. Then I used two other properly functioning epics since, went back today and simply demanded a new one and it works great now. Dont mess around, these phones cost way too much money, if it dont work like it should run that bad boy back and get a new one.
I'm trying to get an idea of how bad the "defective" back buttons are. I'm switching from a Captivate to an Epic and the Captivate capacitive buttons could be a tad touchy, so I'm kind of used to it.
I'd say my back button (on my just received Epic) registers 70 - 90% of the time - sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less. That's probably slightly lower than on my Captivate, but not by much (as far as having to press buttons twice now and then).
Are people with "working" back buttons nearing a 95% - 100% response detection?

We had a epic with a bad back button. If you have one you will notice a signifigant diffrent from the menu, home, and search buttons. If they all respond about the same then you don't have a bad one.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
Thanks for the information. The response on the back button is noticably worse than the others (and again, coming from the Captivate I'm already used to the somewhat touchy reaction of the buttons in general).
I requested a replacement from Amazon - we'll see if it's improved.
For those devices with less than stellar response time from the capacitive buttons will this become worse over time or stay the same?
I've noticed that on my NS, I don't have to actually touch the screen to tap keys. I can keep my finger slightly hovering over the glass and it still recognizes my input. Sometimes it actually causes me to mistype at a higher rate than other phones.
Are you guys seeing this too?

Glad to see I'm not the only one who's experienced this....I thought I was going crazy. It's sporadic at best, but when it happens it is annoying. I can't say for sure what causes it, but I'd love to hear other people's opinions.
I've been getting this as well.
same here. Guess they have the capacitance set a bit too high.....
yup, me too. infact. my home button gets phatom long pressed and the light is off on it...have to power it off/ turn the screen off and on muliple times. that insanity has occured about 4 times thought.
Thanks for the replies. I went back into Best Buy and tried their demo phone. So either it's supposed to be this way or they messed up a whole batch of phones. I wish I could remember whether the vibrant did this or not, but it's not standing out.
Sometimes touchscreen nonresponsive too. This is not relating to partial outer border touching either.

I believe Engadget did mention did this during their review @ http://www.engadget.com/2010/12/10/nexus-s-review/.
Their exact quote: "One other thing of note -- we noticed a few missed or latent presses on the touchscreen which occasionally led to stuttery behavior or an opened item that we didn't mean to tap. It's hard to say if this was a software or hardware issue (and we know that sometimes Android devices can be particularly finicky when syncing). It wasn't a deal-breaker by any means, but we saw the issue rear its head a handful of times, and felt it was worth mentioning."
it's nothing ,, the Samsung galaxy S does that too D:
that happens due to the static on your finger.
Hi
I opened a thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=879872) because I definitely have a problem on the back capacitive button, just wondering how many people are affected?
In fact I have seen this in four devices now, it looks that there is a batch of defective Nexus S phones out there affected by this problem?
It's normal. My Nexus One is like that too. It's magic.
So, it is normal to have un-responsive back button after some times?
Damn ... this is bad. I hope I can cope with it. I really hate hardware problem.
And still could not understand why Google cannot fix it.
Last time from HTC ...
And now from Samsung ...

There's a thread for the back button, that's a real issue. Some people have the Back button issue, some the Home button issue. Both of those buttons are on the outer edge of the phone, so something may be messed up when the phone was being assembled.
I just used a case for a few days and thought the case was acting funny with the power button, but now that I removed it the button is kind of depressed and not as responsive as usual. It's not a huge deal, but something that bugs with such ”high quality” electronics.
Anyone else notice this? And has anyone talked to tmobile or htc with any luck? Thanks.
And I'm on the app and looked through the topics trying to find something like this, I apologize if this is a repeat.

The same thing happened to me about a month after I got the phone because my friend was a bit too rough with. Same has happened to like 1 or 2 other people I know with the phone as well. None of us have ever used a case btw, so I doubt that was the cause of it.
The MT4G just seems to have a sensitive power button. One of my friends told me his jammed at one point too, and all I could do was tell him to shove a card into the little gap and unjam it. Once it gets messed up it seems to stay slightly depressed all the time too, never to the point that it activates on its own(at least not for me), but it definitely isn't as responsive.
Yea, it seemed it was coincidence it happened after I used a case. Have you or anyone you know tried to get a replacement due to it? I assume they'd just tell us we should've been easier on our phone, even if we were easy with it.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
Had the same problem with my MT4G I got off eBay. Not even 48 hours of having it, the power button went on me (due to repeated power cycling trying to root it). I called HTC about the problem and I sent it in under warranty.
They say that if you've modded it in any way (rooting included) it voids the warranty but I sent in my phone rooted and they sent it back (upgraded to GB) with a 1-day turnaround. I've read people who sent in their phones with CM7 got theirs back.
I try to not use the power button at all now. To put the phone to sleep I use a software app lock and to wake I push the optical pad. Once someone figures out a root for GB, I'll probably re-map the genius button to wake and sleep.
Unfortunately power button issues are pretty common with the mytouch 4g samething happened to me like 3 mytouches ago lol um u can simply call tmobile n get a warranty exchange for that if your still under warranty thats what i did i had actually called cause i had the bad screen which apperantly isnt reason enough for them to change the phone but as soon as i mentioned the power button issue the sent a new phone right away. the one i have now ive had for quite some time and i havent had any issues with it. thats a hardware issue mostly so not much u can do with a factory reset or anything another option is to just use the trackball wake for turning phone on n off frequent and use power button only for powering phone on in off usually what i do . hope this helps
I noticed tonight that my touchscreen stops working when I slide the keyboard all the way out. It looks like when you slide it, when it gets about 1/2 way, the lights under the touch keys (home, search, etc) turn off, then 3/4 of the way out, they come back on, but you can't touch anything on the screen. No scrolling, no selecting, nothing. When you start to close it, the lights turn off 3/4 of the way open, then 1/2 the way open they turn on and the touch screen starts working again.
I've been watching videos on how to replace the digitizer and they look easy enough for me to do, but is it really the digitizer if it is working when the phone is closed? This sounds more like a loose cable, eight? Anyone else have this happen?
That does sound more like the flex cable

Sounds like it's most likely the Flex Cable. Which is easy enough to change. They usually don't just come loose. Has been know to happen, but it's rare. You can repair it yourself, you just have to have the proper tools. If you do attempt it, be sure to take your time. You can pick the Flex Cable / Tool Kit up on Ebay, or Amazon fairly cheaply.

That's very true. There is a chance you can damage, or even "Brick" the device if you don't know what your doing. I've changed about about five already. The first one took forever, I was so nervous. But after about the third one it was all good . Same with the digitizers, first one is like Ahhh . After about the 10th one it's not that scary. No I do not damage my phone that often. Just know a lot of people who do. That also do not have TEP Insurance.

Ok, in the immortal words of Eminem, "I'm not afraid." Or wasn't, at least. I took it apart tonight and yep, the flex cable is broken. Taking it apart made it worse and I've lost my earpiece. The good news is the touch screen works while the keyboard is slid out... But it doesn't with it in. lol
I did find some on ebay, but does anyone know of a place that sells the sliding mechanism? Mine is pretty sloppy and I'd like to fix that while I have it open to replace the cable.
Your best bet is going to be a damaged Shift. I don't know of any place that sells just the parts. But I would still hunt around on the net. Maybe check Amazon, or Craigslist.

I mean nobody disrespect I am just as intrigued by taking things apart and just as satisfied with self repair as the next tech guy, but you don't even need to have TEP to get a shift with a broken flex cable replaced. This is a warranty issue. By no fault of yours, the phone is broken. Sprint replaces these without push back, I'm on my 3rd shift. Now that you've opened it though, you may be out of luck.

You can always tell them you took it to a third party store to get looked at.
It was out of warranty. I already tried the warranty route.
Anyway, got the cable today, put it in and the jawbone connector for the LCD is jacked up. It won't go all the way in no matter what you do. So I put the old one back in and now the touch screen is completely gone.
My wife called sprint while I was messing with it cause she wanted to see if there were any repair stores that had parts and they offered me an early upgrade. $105 bucks and I get up to a $150 discount as long as I re-up for 2 years. Since I'm pretty happy with Sprint, this is probably a win-win situation for me to do it, so I did.
Now I just have to decide... Moto Photo, Nexus 4g, or Samsung Galaxy 2. Any opinions?
*edit: I use CM7 on my shift and would like to continue to use CM7, I don't NEED CM9, but the option would be nice.

Ok, didn't want to clutter things up and start a new thread so I'm gonna hijack this one. Hope thats ok.
I've been having troubles with my touch sceen the last few weeks and its very sporadic. So first issue it just simply stops responding all together. Like for instance i go to pull notification bar down and it stops part way down and i cant slide it up or down nor do the home back keys work. I have to hit power button to lock then hit power button and unlock then all is fine for awhile. And to be clear i dont have to power it off, just lock it. Another instance I'll be browsing the web and i go to scroll down it starts acting goofy. As if i got 2 fingers on the sceen trying too pinch to zoom when i clearly dont. Another silly thing happens where it acts like some one is remotely using my phone. For instance I unlock my phone and then it just hitting buttons. It's actually made a phone call for me before. Also happens when browsing or anything else.
I run miui build 112300 with sparks patch. I have ran this rom for a very long time so something tells me it aint the rom. I really dont remember what I've installed lately so don't know if an app would be causing this. Something tells me its a hardware issue but i was hoping to get some suggestions before flash something new or worse running the ruu to stock. Also, i dont think it would be the flex cable because it happens mostly without the keyboard out. Plus i rarely use my keyboard, although I'm using it right now.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The first thing you can try is the latest Radio and Touchscreen Firmware HERE. If that does not work and the screen is still acting strange I would RUU back to Stock Unrooted. See if that resolves the issue. If not it's time to take it back to Sprint.
OK, thanks for the suggestions. Just flashed the new firmware. Like I said it was very sporadic so time will tell. Hopefully this works cause it's been a long time since I rooted my phone and I'd hate to unroot it.

I don't agree.
The buttons on all of my N7s have been different, the current one I have is solid and clicky and definitely not lopsided. If it's not aligned properly inside the case there's definitely a chance the ribbon cable will be sitting and bent in a position it wasn't meant to be in, causing it to fail prematurely. That's not OCD, that's simply poor manufacturing.
To the OP, I don't recommend exchanging it if everything else about your unit is good considering getting a good one right now is a crapshoot. I haven't looked closely at how accessible the buttons are when the back cover is removed, but one option would be to open it and see if you can fit the alignment or see if the buttons themselves are physically warped.
Regardless of what you do, I would suggest RMAing it at some point before your warranty is up.

It feels very nice, but it totally isn't worth trying to playing return roulette for the buttons given the even worse things that could be wrong with the replacement. They are remarkably rare. Most of the ones I've seen have the mushy buttons, often with one side more flush than the other (they aren't supposed to be flush)
You'll eventually get a case with a magnetic on/off and won't even notice the power button anymore.
