Why did the home button and bottom of screen stop working?

A few weeks ago the three buttons (home, back, menu) stopped working out of nowhere. Literally my phone died and when I turned it back on after charging, the buttons no longer worked. I was able to download an app so that I didn't have to worry about it. Now the bottom portion of my screen no longer works. I believe the screen is dying from the bottom up and I don't know why. Please help.

what app did you download

Just fix this issue by going into accessibility and turning off assistive touch through the settings. Always check your settings and make sure you didn't alter any of those. Worst case you cant figure out where to go just reset phone settings. NOT FACTORY RESET..

The digitizer is messed up. Someone I know had that same issue, but it's a somewhat cheap and easy repair.

What needs to be done?

Hello,

I currently started working at MetroPCS. A customer came in today with the same exact problem. Yes, you can fix the issue with an app (Virtual Soft Keys), but this is a more effective way. Make sure your phone has backed up all your info....pics, contacts, music, etc. Then continue fixing your phone by simply resetting your phone to factory settings. Your phone will be good as new!

1. Go to settings

2. Scroll down to Backup & Reset

3.Make sure "Back up my data" says on....if not, proceed to doing so to backup your stuff.

4. Press Factory data reset

Hope this helps someone!! Have a Great Day!!

Factory reset doesn't work. I tried this last week and the problem persisted. Now not only does the bottom half of my screen not work normally, suddenly the home screen and navigation buttons no longer function out of nowhere. Factory reset was not effective unfortunately.

There is a home button app that will allow you to use a pop up home menu. It has worked for me. I did the whole erasing everything and factory tested it. The only result I got was everything I had was erased. Go to your play store and download home button for free and whoolah!

Update (01/05/2018)

Download home button app

Try to get boot recovery mode where the colors of the letters are red and wipe the data factory reset. Everything gets erased like it just came from the factory. A little deeper than the factory reset in the phones menu....but no harm to the phones settings. My u , 7 and backspace buttons weren't working and now they are after I did the recovery boot factory reset. You'll have to Google how to get the recovery boot wipe data menu on the ZTE I'm not sure exactly how I access it. But good luck

1.Hold down the power button and the up volume button at the same time until you see ZTE logo

2. Let go once you see logo

3. From this menu screen, you see click on "wipe cache clean" (use volume button for up and down go slow)

4. Click on reboot

Now it works and you still have all your photos etc

This can be fixed in 4 steps guaranteed.

Step One: Turn off phone, remove battery sim & memory card, replace back.

Step Two: Set on a hard surface like a table or concrete floor.

Step Three: Grab your hammer and smash that $@$*.

Step Four: Head to the nearest cellular store and buy a new phone for less than $60

I'm having the same issue as Calliesha, except I can not download anything, it just keeps saying Download pending. I also can not pull down my notification screen from the top of the home screen. I have completed a wipe cache, uninstall Play Store updates and reinstall. The only thing I noticed is that when I go online on my PC to the Google Play Store, and pull up the app. Once I select download to ZTE Blade X and click install, it shows installed to device on the screen. Only thing I can think of is some how I deleted an importantitem while trying to fix my problem. I downloaded an app that did have permission to make changes to my phone. But one night my phone was dieing, I placed it on the charger. When I awoke and looked at my phone, I knew something was different. I have a lock code on my phone and assumed someone may have already reset my phone trying to get in or disabled my notifications somehow. My fonts where smaller, lock screen was different. And I had no notifications. Someone please help, I need my phone for work. Resetting will have me lose important information that could cost me my job.

von

I have the exact same problems!!! The other day I remember checked my phone and it had 91% battery charge, I went to bathroom, cane back and tryed tu turn on the screen but it didn't! The whole day I would press the power button and nothing.

Suddenly, in the middle of the night it showed "no battery" so I charged it

When I turned it on,it had all the problems you said

von

I have the EXACT problem. I was walking home one day and decided to call for a ride home and out of nowhere it went to safe mode ( which I don't know how to do) then it restarted and every since then it always says download pending and never downloads, my notifications never show even though I get alot of them, home & recent apps button not working and I can't pull the notification bar down twice like it should do. This problem happened in July 2019 out of nowhere and nothing ever happened to my zte blade zmax.

von

aHH I'm having the same problem as taylor with my zte blade x :"^)) my phone reset at some point in the middle of the night while i was asleep, and everything but my recent apps button, home button, and the whole swiping the notification bar down twice thing has been working

the home button on my phone stopped working to on my ZTE z blade ZTE z blades are not allowed to be used in the United States anymore so what you got left with is what you got due to the cause of not being able to update the home button or the clear history or back button this is how they screwed us on these phones you can't Fix-It the phone with what you got is what you have left I just found this out ….screwed in Akron Ohio!!!!

This issue started with me last night. There is nothing I was doing that possibily could have caused the issue, but I think I fixed it. After trying all of the advice on this thread, aside from the factory reset, I booted up my phone in safe mode and the buttons worked no problem again. I deleted the two apps that I had most recently installed (PC optimum and Tim rewards) and rebooted the phone normally. Now it works. I tested it for a few minutes before posting this. You may need to delete apps one at a time and periodically reboot to test if the buttons are working again yet.

Zmax pro safe mode:

When phone is on, hold down power key until option box comes up.

Tap & hold “power off” until a prompt comes up asking to reboot in safe mode.

Press “ok”

To exit safe mode: use reboot option as usual
