I have noticed with both Task 650's Rom and also Starburst's Rom that when using the back button in both the stock browser and also the Dolphin browser that the back button works sporadically. On some sites it works fine, but others it just reloads the current page and I have to hit the back button multiple times to go back. Does anyone know of a fix for this issue?
Thanks.
I fixed it by downloading AdFree and reverting the hosts file. I'd rather deal with ads when browsing and have the back button work properly.

Hello,
My browser never goes to the home page I set up. Invariably, when invoking the Browser the cached last page is displayed, even after a full "power off". There is no "go to home page" button either.
Anyone else has this, and any idea how to remedy this?
Thanks!
yes, noticed this last night and it was beginning to really bug me.
you can of course use bookmarks or open a new window, but surely there should be a home button....every other browser in the world has a home button!!
minor annoyance though, and not a deal breaker for me.
I know it sounds daft, but I think you can only change the homepage in the browser and not in the "Web n Walk" shortcut to the browser.
I was stumped by this too for a couple of tries. I've removed the web n walk browser shortcut now.
No Go to home page button is annoying me still though
yeah,you can change the homepage, that's not the problem.
but how can there not be a home button....that's just daft!!
Alright so I just got a Samsung Fascinate through a trade here on XDA and everything seemed to be in working order...except for the actual software in the phone. For one, the home button doesn't take me home, it simply takes me to a blank screen. I can pull down the notification bar and everything...but I can't get home to actually access and apps or anything. The only way I can access anything is when I hold down the home button to get most recent apps.
I've tried multiple times to hard reset..battery pulls..everything. Someone please help me out. I contacted the previous owner of the phone and he said you just have to press the home button a little harder...that didn't work.
It obviously works because it takes me to a blank screen and allows me to access the most recent apps..but it won't actually take me home.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance guys
Considering the Hines button is capacitive, pushing harder does nothing.
Is the phone rooted or stock?
If stock, try to Odin fresh stock. If rooted, try a different rom
Try installing a different launcher such as Adw, launcher pro or zeam to see if the problem goes away.
Now it does have a crack, but I don't think thats the problem because when I press it it still takes me to a blank screen so it must work.
And he gave me those options..and said it was semi-rooted? Considering I just came fresh from a Moto Droid I really know nothing about the process. Is Odin like SBF? I just want to have the phone in its original state to see if I even like it first..

I would second this suggestion. Often, launchers can have individual settings for what the home button does (i.e., with Go Launcher EX, the home button can be set to take you to your home screen, and if already on your home screen, pressing the home button will open up a shortcut, app, preview homescreens, etc.). So, by installing another launcher, it my clear away whatever setting is on the phone you got (i.e., launching a blank screen). Another option would be to go into your Setting > Manage Applications, and find your default launcher. Open it, and then "Clear Defaults."
Alright I got it to work by restoring completely with odin and changing the home screen launcher.
Thanks guys! It's much appreciated
On some pages, but not all pages, the browser back button doesn't go back. It just refreshes the current page.
Very annoying.
I found http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248032
Where some work arounds or alternate browsers are suggested.
Any more current thoughts on this?
I'm running Galaxy Task 10 and have the same behavior with but the Xoom and stock browsers.
I have had my xtz for 3 days and love it, just trying to get to the bottom of a minor issue.
With chrome open if I press the recent apps button chrome will minimise and appear, however if I press the home button then click the recent apps button chrome is not visible, I have to re open the app to get back to it.
Just wondering if there is a simple fix for this? I'm using 4.2.2 .136
I'm guessing the simple solution may be to switch browsers? On my Xperia t I actually use the stock browser and love it, but this first seen available for the tablet z?
Thanks
I have an Lg G2 running Cloudy G2(4.4.2). Phone was working fine until 2 days ago. Now the "back" soft key does not work like it used to in many apps. For just a few examples:
Chrome
Before: back key took you to the previous web page
Now: takes you to the main home screen with all my apps, but if I then go back into chrome and the hit the back key it will go the the previous web page
Reddit is fun
Lets say I was in a post,
Before: would take me back out to my reddit home page
Now: takes you to the main home screen with all my apps, but if I then go back into reddit and the hit the back key it will go the the previous web page
Sharing a post from an app to another app(reddit to hangouts for example)
Before: when hitting share it would take you to the app in which to share the post. Then hitting back key would cycle through all the screens and you would end up back in the reddit post
Now: takes you to the main home screen with all my apps. Going back into the app doesn't work. You have to close the app
Hangouts
Before: If I was in a chat, hitting the back key took me back out the list of chats
Now : takes you to the main home screen with all my apps, but if I then go back into hangouts and the hit the back key it will go the the previous web page
What could have caused the back soft key functionality to change like that?
Thanks,
Craig
Maybe a bit of a simple solution which you probably already tried but did you reboot?

Many times
Maybe you could backup your data and factory reset.
Always works for me.
