Is this the END?

Ok, some weird stuff has started happening with my TP2. The main problem is that every few mins the bottom row lights will come on, it closes whatever app I'm in, and the "Quick List" come up. It does this for about 5 mins straight whether or not I reboot, and I cannot really do anything with the phone because it keeps closing everything. I've tried flashing Task 29 and another ROM but this still keeps happening. The phone has never been wet and it hasn't been dropped. I am guessing the the "END" hardware key is malfunctioning since it doesn't seem to be a software problem. However, the odd part is that sometimes when I reboot NONE of the hardware buttons work at all. Also when I try to flash via SD card, NONE of the buttons work. Any ideas?

TIA

Dang, I wonder what caused it? I hope they can replace it since it has been less than a year and I don't have insurance. I was hoping for this phone to at least last until October

BTW I have been using EnergyROM since day one and have been overclocking for the past few weeks

btw, have you tried going back to the 6.1 stock rom? or disabling sense?
I had issues like that when I made the switch to 6.5, but went away when I disabled sense.

Cool, looks like I am headed to Sprint. Now I need to find out how to flash back to stock and relock

Disabled Sense to see if that helps and I'll need to flash back to stock 6.1 either way so I'll try that after... thanks for the tips

With sense disabled I still have this problem. Another thing I thought might have caused it was an app I installed while running Android called Ultimate Juice. Seemed to mess with some system stuff and froze Android and the morning after the problem started. I'm downloading 6.1 now and will try that. Sprint Chat said my warranty is good until mid October so I am good there.

EDIT: Well the problem seemed to fix itself after a day or so. I am guessing that there was just some dirt or lent behind the button or something. I still don't know why sometimes after reboot none of the buttons worked but whatever. It's all working for now

My END key is completely dead now. Was working like normal since my last update but now it's dead. No lightes when I press it, doesn't hang up calls, close apps... nothing. If I hit the buttons next to it the END button will light up but nothing else. It won't boot into Android because of the END key either
