Can't sprint or throw grenades - PS3

Guys, I can't sprint or release grendaes once they're pulled.  It's not the controller, have checked MW3 and L3 all working ok.  Happens in Campaign as well as Multiplayer.  Have rebooted a few times, same issue.  Have tried different stick layouts. 

 

What's going on???

    OMG finally!!! Someone else who is having the exact same problems that i am!!!

     

    When i press L3 i'm unable to run at all... instead, my player motions to throw a grenade, the target crosshairs appear, but the grenade never releases. If i press L3 again, my player then throws the grenade. I'm never able to sprint/run when pressing L3. Also, when i press L2 or R2, nothing happens at all. My Stick Layout and Button Layout are both set to Default. I played MW3 to see if my controller was going bad but my L2, R2 and L3 functions work perfectly on there. I then played my Black Ops 1 disc and the same exact issues occured on there! For my last work-around... i took my Black Ops 2 game back to GameStop to get another new one. I got home, threw it in, and the problems continued. This is the first time i've ever experienced anything of this magnitude on any of the Call Of Duty games.

    I have the same problem as well! My game worked perfectly fine for about 2 days before this occurred. I too have made sure my controller wasn't the source of the problem, as my L3 button and grenade buttons work fine when playing other games. I've also tried a different controller. I've tried different button layouts. I've erased my game data. I've tried turning my controller off and then turning it back on. I even took my copy of the game back and exchanged it for a new copy. Still nothing. This is really starting to drive me crazy. I hope that they fix this issue soon. I didn't pay $65 for a game that doesn't work, and if this issue isn't addressed soon, I'm going to take my (2nd) copy back to the store and get my money back.

    Alright guys, I figured it out. The problem is caused by R2 and L2. Pull them up, push them in, and repeat. This actually solved a glitch I had with Netflix, and ended up resolving this problem for Black Ops 2. Hope it works for you guys. I know it was miserable to deal with.

    I just had this happen out of the blue.

     

    The fix mentioned works as well!
