hi, I have an i9505 which I recently restored to stock (I previously had cm12.1). I flashed germany 4.4.2 kitkat and it worked fine.
I did all the updates using OTA, which at the end updates the phone to 5.0.1. Now I have the latest version (XXUHOH2), but I noticed that the back button doesn't work anymore, it doesn't even light up when I press it. The menu button works fine instead. I factory restored the phone through official recovery but it didn't change anything. Is it possible that the back button suddenly stopped working after I updated to the latest version because of an hardware failure, or is it a software problem? The phone hasn't dropped off the table once, and even with the first lollipop update the button worked.
i solved this issue by installing another firmware (XYHOE1)... it seems that my phone doesn't like the german one
Hi. I am having the same issue. I got the OTA update today and 5.0.1 was successfully installed on my phone. However, after the reboot, the back button stopped working and wont even light up. Is there any workaround aside from installing that firmware that you mentioned?
Will surely appreciate your response.
I haven't found a workaround, i tried both normal and black edition OH2 but the issue remains the same... however I flashed a custom firmware (and thus keeping OH2 bootloader and modems) and it works perfectly... so I think it's a bug found in OH2 firmwares which happens in some phones... flashing previous version of any firmware should fix the issue.

Can you give us a link for that firmware? I can't find that firmware anywhere. Thanks!
The latest firmware official for Gt-i9505 Germany (DBT) is this ONE.

Please help me. I'm experiencing the same issue. I updated my phone to OH2 and after it finished updating, my back and menu button stopped functioning. Then received another update (OJ2) via Kies3, hoping that it will solve the issue I encountered in OH2 but nothing has changed. And now I downgraded my phone to a previous version of Lollipop (OC6) and it still not working.
Before updating my phone, I know and I'm sure my back and menu buttons are working fine that moment and like you, I haven't dropped my phone since I bought it so I'm sure this isn't a hardware problem. :crying::crying: Please help me. A big THANKS! :good:

Same problem for me. i tried even a Pit reflesh and dowgrade.
Same thing happened to me. I did the upgrade today, 24th Nov 2015, to Android 5.0.1 - Baseband versionXXUHOJ2 and my menu and back keys are gone. Very infuriating! Will Samsung fix this, or do I have to spend hours of my own time?
I have found a workaround, not ideal but helps short term. Go to Settings > My Device >Accessibility >Dexterity and interaction. Then switch on the Assistant menu. That gives you a little pop up square - available all the time - with 12 buttons including BACK and MENU.
I'm having the same issue. I came back to Kit kat coz I'm tired of Lollipop :silly:
same prb with me...i just updated my s4 to 5.0.1 everything is working fine but the back n menu keys are not working plz give me a solution to this problem

Any updates or solutions as yet please?
I had a perfectly working Galaxy S4 (GT-I9505), then after a recent update was pushed out, the softkeys now do not function. Soooo frustrating...... my confidence in Samsungs' Updates are now dented, I shall seriously think twice about allowing any updates through.
Hi ,
Samsung released Marshmallow after a long wait for Open China Note 4 Duos , Hong Kong version is still pending for marshmallow update .
Q1. Did samsung introduced volte for note4 duos with marshmallow ?
Q2. Which custom recovery are you guys using ? Is lollipop compatible twrp working with marshmallow ?
any top chinese mobile forums that you guys can recommend . Google is getting polluted these days with many sites using scripts to copy content from xda to a blogspot site
I went ahead and did a bold move of flashing my HK Note 4 Dual N9100 with the Open China ROM 6.0.1 released by Samsung.
Steps did.
1) Used the cmw recovery compatible with N910w for N9100. Didnt find one for N9100 directly. Worked.
2) Flashed 6.0.1 on top of 5.1.1. After booting up, lot of apps crashed. understandable as it doesnot have google play. Hence factory reset.
3) Rooted the ROM 6.0.1 using Odin setup compatible for N910w. Didnt find one for N9100 directly. Worked.
4) Installed gapps pico. After setting up permissions and few hickups, it too worked.
5) Reinstalled rest of the apps from playstore, everything works.
Outcome - super snappy. excellent battery life than 5.1.1 ROM. Love it.
One problem - 10 mins after you turn off the screen, notifications wont show up on the phone. If your screen is on, all notifications shows up just fine.
Did some research and understood that its the dooze feature that is putting the phone to deep sleep. Its a very talked about issue in Samsung devices specially S5, S6 after it got updated to Marshmallow. Lot of suggestions are written
a) about adding required apps and google play store to "Do not Optimize" section. Tried all but all in vain.
b) Turn off Wifi and see, but no luck.
Its very annoying to not see the notifications show up but not a deal breaker as turning on the screen will bring them. But still.......Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks for updating here , any luck with VoLte? Could you post the links of the exact custom recovery you used . does it support exfat and ext3/4 partition ? I plan on using a partitioned microsd with marshmallow with first half for system memory and 2nd half as removable storage (tib backup , media)
The last update for HK version was on 1st September 2016 which means they are working on the ROM . I am just guessing that CN version might not have VoLTe . There is no ROM difference between Open china and HK except gapps
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N9100/
my carrier does not support VoLTE. So unsure if the 6.0.1 rom supports it. VoLTE is not shown any where in the Network settings though. !
I lost the link for the recovery as i frantically downloaded a few and tried randomly for which one works. . I am trying to attach the recovery file but giving an error as i am a new member.
Any suggestions on the notificatons not showing up after screen off issue?
Is it app specific or all apps?
All apps !

Hi, after update my Huawei G7-01 from official Kitkat 4.4.4. to official Lolipop 5.1.1. build G7-L01C432B340 I have a problem with Gyroscope sensor and with app in googleplay store Google cardboard. Google plays says that i have not compatible phone. If I have Kitkat there isnt problem with this app. Can You help me? Sorry for my English
I think it's a known problem with Lollipop on the G7. I don't know if it is fixed in Marshmallow (as it hasn't been released for my country yet).

OK, thanks for your answer. Im back on stock KITKAT 4.4.4 and gyro works perfectly.. But I do uprgrade to Lolipop, because bluetooth on my G7-L01 doesnt see bluetooth controler to th VR head set. In Lolipop mobile detected the bluetooth gamepad but G-sensor not work. Now on kitkat bluetooth doesnt see the gamepad and the G sensor works. Other Bluetooth phones on kitkat are detected, only gamepad no
Yeah, on all stock lollipop builds gyro not working. If you have root on your device and custom recovery, you can fix it by flashing this .zip file.
Model : G950U1 Samsung Galaxy S8
My camera doesn't work after update pie. There's almost no way I haven't tried. I touch the camera app and the black screen turns on and off in 2 seconds. When I touch the flashlight button, " Can't turn on flashlight because the light is being used by another app." the text comes out.
I tried some solutions on forums:
Clear camera app data and clear cache but not working.
Safe mode not working
Factory reset not working
Hard reset not working.
I changed software G950U1UES6DSI1 (android 9 on September) to G950U1UES6DSG1 (android 9 but old on July) not working.
Also;
My Samsung Galaxy S8 phone can't return to the old version. Because my software binary is 6 level how can do anything?
Same problem
I have exactly the same problem with my G950U.
I did everything said above to try to fix this but it's still the same.
However, I managed to recover the camera and flashlight with an earlier version of PIE but it didn't last. Before it defitively stop working, I had some problems with the front camera who forced camera stop sometimes.
My actual ROM is the last : G950USQSDSJ1
Please HELP US !!!!
