Updated to lollipop 5.1 now no home button

[chevanater]

I got aa notification for an update for 5.1 so I did it and everything went smoothly on my boost Mobile moto g but now the home button does not work. Ican slide it up to get to Google now but home stopped working completely. I have to use back button it close apps to get home.

Also external links no longer work and it seems to lock phone when I click one until I push the back button. Also occasionally the Mobile ID thing crashes on me. Not sure what that means .

Any help is appreciated, I've been searching for answers for a week and nothing
Thanks

mine was in 5.1 and that didn't happen, are you rooted? if so, try to backup all your data and try resetting to factory, because otherwise that's a very weird case...

It was completely stock from the box prior. All I did was run the boost Mobile update from check for updates

Same here.
I'm installed Euphoria-OS (based on Android 5.1.1) and now I don't get notifications, I cannot change apps and my home button stopped to work.

update:

I tried the Cabron rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-carbonrom-t3211516) and home button now works. But i don't know why...

So can I root 5.1 ?and install a new rom?

Of course you can.

Unlock your bootloader, flash TWRP, then flash SuperSU.

Hello there. I have had the same problem. The way to solve it (temporarily until the next time) is to go to users, and log into guest, then log out (by going to users again in the guest account and pressing 'remove guest'). This resets the functionality of your home key in your regular account.

Restart your system ui. If you have root access get rom toolbox. You can then add a rebooter widget on home screen. I have the same issue on all kernels I have tested so far. Hope it helps.

I am running 5.1 and found today that when I pressed my Home button, it did not take me home. I didn't want to reset my phone, and your answer solved the problem for me, so you made my day !

When I chose Guest, it restarted my phone and logged me in with my account, not a Guest account, but the Home button works normally now.

THANK YOU. :victory:
