The little square and circle buttons up and quit working today.

I've already restarted and pulled the battery.

Anybody know of a trick to get them going again, short of a factory reset. I'm really trying to avoid that.

(I still get the vibration when I hit the buttons, they just have no effect on the screen )

Every now and then you have to take your android out for drinks, a nice dinner, maybe some dancing. Did you forget to bring home flowers on Valentine's Day?

The wife's Samslug S5 went bonkers last month. Daughter looked up on the web.

Pull battery, and then hold down the power button to discharge any redidual electrical gremlins.

Worked perfect since.

Cliff is a **** programmer markos stop being poor. S5 is literally $20

Lots to be said for cheap phones. When you drop or sit on them it's no big deal except for the work involved setting up the replacement. These ZTE I use are still 89 bucks brand new. It does the job.
