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?

@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.

Is there a way you can hard-coded, let say the left capacitive button to act as a home button when you long-pressed it? especially on ICS roms that for let say you want to see the recent apps(home button long-pressed) alternatively you'll just long-press the left capacitive button = profit?
My home button is being quirky nowadays(6 months owner) and I don't want to bring it to Service Center just to repair that.. The problem is not groundbreaking(not yet) but this will save me in the future and probably others will so
It's not exactly what you want, but maybe Button Savior will do for you?
I think capacitive buttons are more likely to stop working than the physical buttons. My friend has a motorola Milestone and his back button stopped working in a month. Dont know if it is a bug

Still need to use home-button I'm in CM9 right now and the home button is really ****ed-up especially when I'm multitasking and I really love how ICS implement the task-switching/killing "Recent app"

Well that's a different phone but maybe that can apply to ours. What I mean is that sometimes my home button when I long press and then released it, it double registers the pressing so it's like you pressed again the home button
I am also looking forward for a solution to this. As I also want as much as possible not to use the home button. I quite feel that somehow it is already degrading. Showing press results that are not what I specify. Like for example clicking does 2 clicks thus entering 2 directories in CWM.
Button Savior could have been perfect if the recent apps it shows is the firmware's version. It shows its built-in recent apps instead.
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.
after a call I see a screen that tell me "if I want to sent message or call again etc".
someone know how to disappear this screen ????
I just want to press the red button and the phone go to home page
Why not just press the home button?

If I press the home button dont stop the call.so if I end a call I have to press the red button(to be sure that the call finished)and then the back button to go out of this ungy screen. I just want to press one's the red button and go to home page.

I end calls by pressing the power button then go to the homes screen by pressing the home button.
Hello so I've noticed sometimes when I'm in an app, say chrome, or a game and I press the home button it always takes a few seconds for the press to register and go back home. Is there a way to get rid of the home button lag?

this is because of the double tap home button to open the camera, at least most likely, it means the phone waits a moment to check for the 2nd press of the home button before treating it like a single home button press.
This can be disabled by going into the camera, then camera settings, then turn off "quick launch"
The home button does not return to the main screen when I press it.
I turned off the Google Assist long press, because whenever I pressed the home button it would immediately open that, but now that I've turned that off nothing happens when I press the home button.
I know it still works however, because when I close my phone the finger print recognition still opens my phone.
Any help would greatly appreciated as I'm having to use the floating dock which I really don't want to!

I had this issue a couple of times. For me it helped just to restart the phone.
