So i restarted my phone like i usually do at least once a week, and when it started, I was locked out. On the lock screen it says double tap and slide. I was finally able to get to my home screen only to be faced with the same problem. And thats where im at now. i cant switch pages and home/back/menu buttons dont work. But if i hold down home button, the app switcher comes up but cant click anything. Im able to take screen shots still by pushing home+power button too. my live wallpaper and clock running just fine. And I can hold power button down but cant restart or anything. Its like everything is working fine, but I cant push buttons or open anything. I cant think what I might have done. Im not rooted yet, and im pretty good with these things, but this is pissing me off. On a final note, there is a small, narrow, box around the dropdown menu. Was gonna send a screenshot, but when i connected to my comp, my device no longer shows up. This kind of has me worried. Hope someone can help, and thanks in advance.


I just realized that i can double tap on anything and it will work. I need to 2 Tap and hold to change screens, open an app, or anything. Did I change a setting somewhere?

I was just about to do that actually, but I finally got it figured out. Somehow, Talkback was on in my settings. As soon as I turned that off, I was good to go. IDK why it was on, but its all good. Thx for the response Josiah. This thread can be closed
