I have TMOUS HD2 with 3.14 ROM with CoOkie's Home Tab 2.0 installed.
I'm having issue with the dialer not showing up, when I press the Talk/Send Key (Green Hardware button on the left hand corner). This problem shows up very frequently and happens when the screen is displaying one of the Sense Tabs.
But if I click "Start" icon and the screen is showing the programs list - now if I press the Talk button, the dialer shows up just fine. Back to Sense and the dialer would not show up, whn I press the Talk button.
Has anybody else seen this issue? Is there is fix for this?

Recently I am having problems with my phone, and am wondering if it is a software or hardware problem.
I have tried loading the TNT4 rom & WS5SE roms (this is a g4), and there is no change (im on the Tnt4 one now).
The touchscreen works okay, but the soft key buttons do not. The right bottom one is okay, the left one triggers the right one, the send button show the letters "uytga" on the phone screen when i press them, the end button shows "mn" or something, the camera button works perfect, the comm manager button is the same as the voice button (even when i map it with a program it says "button 4").
It even happens on the soft keys on the keyboard when i slide it out.
Also I used Start-sSPL to put the roms on. Is there a way I can get the OEM one back on or fix the button problem?
Any help will be appreciated.
Very pleased with the new phone but I've had the home screen freeze on me twice in the same horrible way.
While swiping the lock screen away, it will stick covering about a 1/4 of the screen - then the screen completely locks. After a while a partially hidden alert box comes up with some warning about the Activity TwLauncher not responding and you can see the close/wait buttons, but you cannot press them. Pressing the sleep button blanks the screen, but it displays the same mess when the home button is pressed.
The OS underneath still seems to be running, because if I call the phone, the dialer appears and I can take a call - just that after ending the call, the screen goes back to the frozen home screen with the half hidden alert box under a partial lock screen.
Even holding the power button down will not pop up the dialogue box for power off - so the only way I've found to recover is to pull the battery.
Has anyone else encountered this bug - couldnt find anything similar using the forum search tool - or a quick google.
I did recently update to KE7.
I just picked up a 10.1 tab. It is rooted with recovery and the Overcome 10.1 1.2.1 rom on it. Everything is pretty awesome but I have a couple of questions due to my newness to HC.
I currently have one home screen. If I am on the home screen and I press home it shows my home screen on top of the home screen with a dark, see through, background. Looks pretty silly. What is the purpose of this?
If I long press the icon to the right, that normally brings up running apps on the left, I also get the stupid home screen laid over top of my home screen. Again, what is the purpose.
I got a lot to learn, thanks!

By default, when you press the home button while already on your homescreen, it gives you a preview of all your screens. You only have one screen though so its showing you a translucent preview of your only screen. Press the home button again and it should go away.
The button to the right only needs to be pressed, not long pressed, to bring those up.
FYI, if you long press the home button, it's a built in task killer.

Lol, that makes perfect sense. I would get the multiple screen previews on my thunderbolt too. Only having one screen was throwing me off.
The button on my right looks like a square on a square appears to bring up a list of running apps with previews on the left side of my screen. Like a task manager to switch running tasks. Long pressing that button doesn't bring up the running tasks but the home screen previews. I'll double check that in a few.

The Square on Square is Recent Apps (like your thunderbolt would bring up if you longpress the Home button).
Long pressing the Home button on this Tablet brings up a Task Killer app (which does show your running apps and gives you the ability to end them)
...You can also access this Task Killer program, as well as some others by pressing the bottom middle button (Most ROMs, including the Stock ROM, have this button set as a ^ symbol)
NOTE: There is NO WAY to change the programs that come up when pressing this bottom middle button, they're built into the system in some way that we can't access.
Okay my fellow S2 users, I have a question about the Home button...
So... I understand that there's a Home button lag (which doesn't bother me at all), but has anyone else noticed what happens when you press the Home button from any screen (minus the 1-7 homescreens)?
What I've noticed is that if I'm in any app, in the Settings, any folder, etc., if I press the home button to get back to the homescreen my phone SENDS out and RECEIVES DATA!!!!!
Can someone explain this occurrence?...
Thanks in advance.
How are you seeing this activity?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
@Kadin: Anytime I press the home button from anything minus the homescreens the Green arrow lights up (Sending data) and the Red arrow lights up (Receiving data)!
P.S.

Sorry if this has been asked, search functions seems to be down at the moment, but I just got my Sprint S3 on Tuesday and noticed that when you press the home button while on the home screen it shows the screen previews, normal.
Now ever since yesterday when I press the home key it just goes to the home screen but does not do the screen preview. Is there something that I turned off by accident or is my phone acting up, its not really a big deal to me but I just want to make sure my phone is not defective. Has this happened to anyone else? Thanks in advance.
There's three functions for the home button so far as I know.
1) Single press, takes you back to your launcher's main screen.
2) Single press with hold, takes you to the task manager that shows you what's currently running along with previews of the apps.
3) Double press, takes you to S Voice.
I'm guessing that you are looking for number 2.

Thats really weird because like I said when I first got the phone and was on the home screen and pressed the button again it did the screen previews but now it only does what you listed. I wonder if anyone else had this happen, oh well thanks for the response.
