Dirt in the home button (white version) - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

I had dirt in the device since day 1, but now it's just getting really annoying seeing it. It's a little black spot on the top inside of my home button. I tried scratching it out but I couldn't, any advice on how to take it out?

Dock mode won't shut off

So my phone looks like its in dock mode?!?!
The clock app displays/loads for no reason, even instead of lock screen. Every time I answer my phone, it answers it in speaker mode...
I'm running aokp m6, I even tried a restore from before this issue, but it still here.
Any ideas?

Sounds like you may have corrosion somewhere, possibly a port...those are pretty common symptoms of some type of minor liquid damage that we see come in

Like the usb port?
Any suggestions on cleaning it?
Thanks for your response/help!

Suggestion? Take it into one of our Service and Repair stores lol.
If you really want to try it yourself, you need denatured alcohol with very high alcohol concentration. We also finish up with a gold contact cleaner, but I don't know where to get that.

This might be an obvious question but did you go back and check to see if it was still enabled?

Make sure you have Palm swipe to capture checked under settings/motion and leave motions settings on.

While swipe screen shot still works for me. I did notice a new behavior.
Instead of a side to side scan blur it now has a white border flash around the edge of the screen.

what do you launch with your quickbutton?

currently have mine set to none.
tried the camera but i seem to keep accidently pushing the button which is weird because i have to press firmly and accurately to click the power button
Camera. Makes burst mode easier.
Google Now. After hitting the button I say "Google" and speech recog starts right up.

Quick memo takes a screen shot, and it is programmed to the button by default. Simply hit the save icon and select gallery to save the shot to your sd card.

Camera for the moment
Would be great that the button wake the phone and launch the app! !
Voice search. Thinking about changing it though, not sure if I need that there. Not sure what else to put there though.

Possible to have a like imagine burn in

Whenever I have white on my phone I can see the original home screen like the one I had when I first got it. Is it a burn in? Cause ik the icons aren't from my phone now say like when I open Google chrome I can see just slightly the home screen apps from when it was new.

If you keep your screen on full brightness then its bound to happen on any phone, use that auto brightness and you should.be good on your next phone that is... only way to remove that is a new panel

top of screen a bit separated from the frame?

Is that normal the screen haves a tiny and I mean almost micro separation from the metal frame it seems normal but the bottom of the screen isn't like that?
I have that too.
I thought it was from dropping it or something.
I almost noticed that gunk gets stuck in between it as well.
