UPDATE: turns out it must be a hardware issue as i tested it.
I used another Note 3 and swapped motherboards, turns out my motherboard with the new screen works perfectly and the newer motherboard with my old screen performs the same errors.
Alright so I used Kingo Root to root my Samsung Note 3.
Afterwards, the menu and back keys stopped working/did not work properly.
When using my fingers, the menu key now brings up search and the back button does not do anything.
HOWEVER, when using the built-in stylus the buttons work properly.
From this difference I'm thinking that the problem must be software related so I performed a Factory reset after making all backups.
The problems persisted.
Wondering if anybody knows any solutions, I'd appreciate a non app-related solution but an acctual fix. Will take all knowledge though.
Thank you.
