Hi guys!
My Mi3 is on MiUi 7.5 Global version!
All of a sudden home button and recent button have stopped doing there function!
The home button when pressed in any app doesn't land you to the home and the recent button doesn't show the recent items!

Both buttons are working fine! Long pressing Recent button opens the settings and submenu while long pressing home button opens Google Search! So the buttons are working fine!

Also, there is this other problem! No Notifications are shown in the notification bar! I can pull down but even if there is a notification, it won't show in the bar! I connect my phone through usb port, it doesn't show whether usb debugging is on, in which mode it is attached to the pc MTP or other! Similarly messages and other notifications nothing shows!

Plus, Lockscreen doesn't display any of the shortcuts, not even swipe up to unlock! or the swipe for camera!

All this all of a sudden!

Fixed it! By completely wiping my whole phone including the sdcard and then installed a fresh MiUi 8! Most probably, it was some data corruption which lead to failure of the functions of the two buttons!
