I have an Android Maxx, why aren't the bottom buttons working?

[AC Question]

I have an Android Maxx, the bottom buttons are notworking!

The return, home and other buttons on bottom on my phone are not working, making navigating thru my phone a problem. It seems they are either frozen or locked. Everything else on my phone is working just fine as normal. Wondering if I accidentally hit something or can reset. I have turned my phone off for 24 hours and turned back on, same problem going on. Driving me nuts! Please someone help! Thanks!

Welcome.

Try Safe Mode, to test whether a third-party app is causing trouble.

Also, there are pie-control and similar apps in the Play Store, that may prove useful, at least until you can find a fix.
