I was having problems with my phone and went to the att support center. They did a factory restore then reflashed the stock rom. Since then I have not been able to access vlingo by double tapping the home key. Any ideas on how to fix it?
Long press search button
You probably have the 2.3.6 update. It removes double tap feature.

Thanks. I do have the new update =/. I set vlingo through the long tap search button method above. Now I'm having the battery problem that most seem to be having, and a few other problems but oh well, I'm not waiting an hour at the support center for a third time for this phone.
I just have no luck with Samsung's Galaxy S series of phones.

There are no software updates, so perhaps that is the reason it doesn't do anything?

Possibly; but when I used to press the button it took me to a page that told me that there are no updates available. Now it doesn't respond to a press at all. It also has an exclamation point next to it...

Are you on stock ROM? Did you freeze or uninstall anything related to updates?
Apparently I did freeze an app called AT&T software update. I tried to reactivate it to no avail; all through titanium. It just tells me that it is restoring it but it never does. The circle thing just goes around in circles and it never times out. I let it run all night last night and it didn't work. Do you think I need to do a hard reset and re-root my phone?

Hey everyone!
Last wednesday i upgraded my phone to ICS(4.0.3) using Odin! Everything worked great until this morning. I got up and realised that my phone is in the voice command... it didn't care about it so i closed the voice commad and went back to sleep. During the day i played a lot on my phone and i always had to close voice command...it comes up many times when i'm using my phone. i got angry and deleted everything from the phone but it came up again...then i did a factory reset but it continued. I tried to uprgrade my phone using odin but something went wrong so i put back the previous rom. I did it with odin ( i didn't use any backup, i loaded up a new rom) but the voice command welcomed me again....
Any idea?
Can you check if your home button is faulty? Maybe it is and double clicks itself thus launching voice command. You are on stock ics right? What do you mean by delted everything? You uninstalled all of your apps?

Try disabling it in settings > apps
and change your thread title...It is not a virus LOL
i cannot disable this :S the button cant be because i checked it. i'm on official ICS. i think it could be something in the firmware :S
MOD: I checked it again!!! It could be the button. I don't know how to clear it or what to do. Is there any way to disable this command for double tapping?

Only way is root the mobile and remove it or take it to SC and say your problem they might fix the button (if it is button problem)
Everything above or you got a habit of double clicking the home button?
It is the button... i think i pressed it a little bit stronger than i had to and it stocked. I blowed it yesterday and now it`s OK.
I knew it. Well, congratulations on that buddy.

Have you tried factory resetting your phone yet? just to double check, this lag does not exist any where else right?
to factory reset, turn off phone, when phone is off, press volume UP + lock +home together, then select factory reset.
this should solve your issue, remember to do a back up.
you can also try clearing all your contacts then adding only one in to see whether the lag persists. although i would think a factory reset would be the most appropriate.
hope i helped

Hi I will try thanks for your suggestion.
Mine does and I have done a factory reset. Its just a feature of the S3, You could upgrade to the SGS 2! its much faster
My phone does this too when dialing. I have to dial slowly, wait for a tone after each digit.
Don't know if it's always been like this or just recently. I'm on CM10.
Fortunately dialing manually isn't something I have to do very often.
I also get lag in the dialer loading the recent call tab. Im on beans rom. Shouldnt really see any lag on this phone but its not a deal breaker.
I'm having lag everywhere, especially multi tasking
I am on stock 4.04 and have no dialer lag in buttons or dialing.
Install ExDialer from play store.
Problem solved.
:thumbsup: :thumbsup:
I have lag as well. Not only that, it BUFFERS the dialing. I kept hitting dial on my wife's phone number and nothing was happening. So I kept pressing dial, finally it went thru. I talked for about a minute, hung up, and it then proceeded to dial her 4 or 5 more times. I'd quickly hit hang up and it would dial again. I finally just rebooted the phone.
I'm running stock rooted rom from AT&T
Use ExDialer

its not just the dialer. sometimes the whole phone will lock up for 20 or 30 seconds. not even hard buttons work. in a few cases ive had to yank the battery.
Dunno then lol, I've never had the dialer lock up on me
I know this is an old post but try this and see if it helps.

So I have just noticed this morning when I'm texting....
Every time I'm using the keyboard, the soft keys below (the back, home, task, and input method keys) were... gone. Disappear. I don't know why, it was normal yesterday and I didn't do anything. It makes me kind of difficult every time I have finished typing, because I have to tap on the screen, and cannot hide the keyboard using the back softkey, and I cannot change keyboard input (I switch between the Japanese and international keyboard a lot). but, when I use the keyboard on the lock screen to type my password, the soft keys were still there. Intact. ._.
I have tried to restart twice, but nothing changed. What is wrong? How do I get my soft keys back when I use the keyboard? I'm using the stock Lollipop 5.0.2, not rooted, and never did any modifications at all. Please, can anyone help me? thanks a lot. here i put a screenshot to show you what I mean.
I really do need answer to fix this. once again thanks a bunch!

Hi, I'm facing the same problem since this afternoon too! My soft keys go missing whenever I use the keyboard on my Xperia ZL. Did you manage to find a solution to the problem? I've tried restarting my device too but it doesn't help and I really don't want to factory reset my phone D:
I remember this was a common problem when lollipop was released. Not only limited to stock sony roms. But any lollipop rom.. anyway it was so long ago I first flashed a lollipop rom so I cant quite remember exacly
Hi, I've contacted Sony Xperia and they've provided me with a possible solution:
"In regards to your query, we can advise you to try clear data and cache of the app by going Settings > Apps > All apps > Xperia Keyboard > Force stop > Ok > Clear cache > Clear data and restart the phone and test again. If problem persists, we would suggest that you try to perform a repair of the software using PC Companion. If the issue is related to a problem with your software this will be repaired and your handset will work as intended. "
I've tried it and my keyboard is working fine so far. Hope that it'll help you too
I've tried to clear data and cache and restart, but it was fine for only a few hours and it was gone again I will try to repair software via PC now, i was out of my country last week so didnt have a chance to do it. thanks a lot! i'll let you know if whether the software repair works or not.

Hello Everyone
I have a small issue with my S6 basically what it is that the Recent apps and back button do the same thing open Recent apps. I have a look online everyone says its a software issue but i done everything Hard, Soft, Factory reset and still same. So now I know that its not software it will be the hardware. Maybe any one know witch part of the phone is responsible for the back button functions and would I be able to replace it? Without replacing the phone?
I tried to replace the one of the boards of the phone( the one that has charging port headphone jack and sothing else) but that didn't help. I cant get phone in for the warranty do to i have voided KNOX .
So any ideas would help.
Thank you all
:good:
Acutally this is software. There is a file in the system that controls what those buttons to. You can try and flash your firmware via odin to see if that fixes the issue.

You cold try remapping the buttons with the all in one gestures app.

Root your device use xposed and gravity box maybe fix.
If still problem use custom kernel like arter97.

Same problem here!
Back button thinks is recent apps , sometimes work sometimes not , think is an software bug or something.
The problem started after android 6 update.
Downgrade to 5.1.1 dont make a difference.
Some ideas to solve that?
I'm having the exact same issue with mine. Have a solution yet? Cleared cache, checked safe mode and factory reset. Same issue.

Mine was different. Back button was working but recent button suddenly not working. But i already change my front glass and after few days those button failed to operate. Now stuck using onscreen float button.
Hi, I have the same problem with te back key. What solved problem for me was installing the app called ,, all in one gestures'' ( free on the market),
in the app, go to the ,, hard keys'' , enable de the app from te accesability tab, at the back key tab select single tap and select the ,, back '' from the submenu.
Hope works for you guys !
Regards !
