Weird issue in Windows 10 Frame.GoBack() method?

Question

I am working on Windows 10 and I am using Hardware buttons for navigating back on all pages but in some case when an operation is completed. I am using this.Frame.GoBack() to navigate back to the previous page. But when I navigate back using this method, then when I click on hardware back button first time nothing happens. When I click the second time it works. This happens only when this.Frame.GoBack() is used.

Sample code for Page 1

private void AddNotePage_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (ApiInformation.IsTypePresent("Windows.Phone.UI.Input.HardwareButtons"))
        {
            Windows.Phone.UI.Input.HardwareButtons.BackPressed += HardwareButtons_BackPressed;
        }
        else
        {
            SystemNavigationManager.GetForCurrentView().AppViewBackButtonVisibility = AppViewBackButtonVisibility.Visible;
            SystemNavigationManager.GetForCurrentView().BackRequested += (s, e1) =>
            {
                if (this.Frame.CanGoBack)
                    this.Frame.GoBack();
            };
        }
    }

     protected override void OnNavigatingFrom(NavigatingCancelEventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnNavigatingFrom(e);
        Windows.Phone.UI.Input.HardwareButtons.BackPressed -= HardwareButtons_BackPressed;
    }

    private void HardwareButtons_BackPressed(object sender, Windows.Phone.UI.Input.BackPressedEventArgs e)
    {
        Debug.WriteLine("BackPressed");
        if (Frame.CanGoBack)
        {
            Frame.GoBack();
            e.Handled = true;
        }
    }

Sample code for Page 2

 private void AddNotePage_Loaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
        if (ApiInformation.IsTypePresent("Windows.Phone.UI.Input.HardwareButtons"))
        {
            Windows.Phone.UI.Input.HardwareButtons.BackPressed += HardwareButtons_BackPressed;
        }
        else
        {
            SystemNavigationManager.GetForCurrentView().AppViewBackButtonVisibility = AppViewBackButtonVisibility.Visible;
            SystemNavigationManager.GetForCurrentView().BackRequested += (s, e1) =>
            {
                if (this.Frame.CanGoBack)
                    this.Frame.GoBack();
            };
        }
 }

 protected override void OnNavigatingFrom(NavigatingCancelEventArgs e)
    {
        base.OnNavigatingFrom(e);
        Windows.Phone.UI.Input.HardwareButtons.BackPressed -= HardwareButtons_BackPressed;
    }

    private void HardwareButtons_BackPressed(object sender, Windows.Phone.UI.Input.BackPressedEventArgs e)
    {
        Debug.WriteLine("BackPressed");
        if (Frame.CanGoBack)
        {
            Frame.GoBack();
            e.Handled = true;
        }
    }

     private async void AppBarButton_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
    {
         // calling web service and when I get result=1 from it. I navigate  back
         this.Frame.GoBack();
    }

Please, can someone suggest why I am facing this issue?
