Two of my soft keys don't work.

[Android Central Question]

I have an android 7.0 Nexus 6, and it has three problems: The home button doesn't work, neither does the recent apps button, and notifications will sound but won't show up. I've tried many ways to fix this, but to no avail. Nova Launcher's Setup Wizard doesn't work, restarting my phone in Safe Mode doesn't work, and changing users to guest and back to my main account doesn't work.

Welcome to Android Central! If the Home and Back buttons don't work in Safe Mode, then the touchscreen may be faulty in that area -- one workaround would be to install something like Handy Soft Keys.

The other issues suggest a problem with the firmware, which could be corrupt. You could try reinstalling the firmware manually: https://www.androidcentral.com/how-manually-upgrade-pixel-nexus

I am suffering with the same issues (and some more) with my Nexus 6 (Android 7.1.1)
