[Q] Keys not working? - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have searched and searched for a fix for this problem,
no keys are working (volume up, volume down, lock/power, options, home & back), after losing its IMEI number during a flight (no idea how) I took it to a repair shop to which they said they couldn't fix, but as I left the shop walking down the road I turned the phone on, only to see a 4G connection and software from a custom rom flash.
Feeling happy as they didn't charge me for the repair I try to use my phone as normal, send a text message and tried to return to the previous screen via the back button, not working.... I then went on to try every other button, still, not working..
I get home and try to boot in to recovery mode, it worked... The volume button worked?
I also booted in to download mode and put a different rom on, still not working whilst phone is in normal state.
Any one else experienced this or know of a fix?
Thanks in advance.
Rafiki.

my t mobile wing is possessed....

well my wing has never had any serious problems but about three days ago when i was sending an sms and pressed the W button the volume goes all the way doen to silent but now it goes down to silent without pressing anything at all and prevents me doing anything ive reset the phone to factory mode anyone have any ideas what i can do?
try using anoth rom if anything call tmobile
i dont think changing the rom is gonna fix it and tmobile wants me to pay for another phone because of my warranty which isnt up with them but up with assurion
Does this only happen once or all the time? Mine seems to be stuck scrolling down until a button is pushed - like the down button is being held down each time it powers on.
Edit - It seems that it is the volume button that is causing the issue for me. It seems the up works, but pressing it down tends to do nothing and each time the phone is reset or turned back on the volume will go down and with the sound turned on for each key press you heard it beeping constantly.

Volume buttons stopped working.

I had an energy rom on my hd 2 until the weekend,
The phone was off so when I powerd it up the screen went straight to volume up, (like the up volume button was stuck.)
I tried doing a hard reset but couldnt get it to work, like the buttons werent working, so I reflashed with a stock rom.
Now the volume buttons , phone button and back button dont work anymore.
Even tried to put phone into bootloader mode but no joy there either.
Anyone one think this is hardware, or is it software.
Thanks for any help.
Hi,
I have a similar problem describe here. My problem seems to be a software issue cause my volume buttons work perfect on software but they don't work during startup.

[Q] Cant shut down calls,why?

Hi, I have this problem with my SG3 (XXJPF),that I cant shut down calls,because the screen wont turn on. Is this problem only on JPF,and how can I fix this? Thx
I left this stock rom a few months before, but i remember the screen turned on after a few seconds (turned off by approximation sensor before). It must recognize your ears dissappeared...
Personally I would flash another ROM there's plenty to choose from
However if you haven't voided your warranty you could always get it checked out.
Sometimes it does,sometimes it doesnt and It can be really annoying. I think I ll try jpm
Let me know if it fixes it - if my suggestion helped you I would be grateful if you could press the Thanks button. Cheers
I just press the menu button then it lits up.
You can end the calls using the power button.. Settings-accessibility- check power button ends call..

Volume buttons only work when media is played otherwise not responding

Also when phone is off and connected to charger.. I can check the battery percent by pressing home button just fine
I can use volume buttons to go or cancel download mode just fine
The code *#0#* shows power and volume test success but not home,recent and back
The problems happen when the phone is booted up
Some apps like back button works and they are what i'm using to go home back and recent
What i tried
Hard reset
Flashed new stock rom with odin though seemed like it was just updating had to wipe os first with twrp
Flashed multiple custom roms
Flashed other j7's backup os to my phone

Black Screen Of Death!!! HELP!!!!

i have my phone for almost 7 months already. my phone went black and it wouldnt charge nor turn on. it wouldnt also turn on the LED blue light. been doing all the tips i can do. dont know if my phone is dead nor anything. cant feel no vibrate nor anything at all. i think my phone is dead dead. can you guys please help me. i got important phone calls and everything that i need to get it done. let me know asap. thanks!!!
If it doesn't charge, won't turn on, and doesn't vibrate, sounds like it's dead! Get in touch with Samsung about a replacement
Try a wireless charger
if you can charge it, can you get into download or recovery mode using button combinations?
Have you really tried *all* the possible 'tricks'? I remember the exact situation you just described happened to me a couple months ago. I left my phone charging overnight and when I woke the phone did not respond at all to any button smashing or resetting etc.. so what I did was, hold down the power button, Bixby button (not sure if that was necessary at all), and the volume *down* button all the same time (like you would press ctrl + alt + delete on a keyboard). I held it for 10+ seconds and at last my phone entered the recovery mode set-up which prompted me to press the volume down button once again to restart the phone. If you haven't tried this, give it a go!
