I just got a Galaxy Note and have been having a problem with the home button that I would be grateful for help on.
When I undock the phone, the home button starts acting weirdly. Instead of taking me to my home screen, it takes me to the alarm clock dock page. The home button becomes pretty much useless.
Has anyone else had this problem. Is there a solution? I would hate to return the phone for what seems like a straightforward user interface issue.
back key does this to me if I clear processes....takes me to internet.phone...sms....lmao.....just a small bug to deal worth for a awesome bro my friend....make sure all caches are cleared and processes every so often......is your home key doing what sounds lik my back key does?

Yeah, you just have to back out until you get the real home screen. Then it works.

Hi All,
Picked up a new SGT 10.1 today on the Staples deal. Well, actually two, the first suffered badly from the dust under screen issue and I returned it, cleaned out two stores in the process.
Trouble is, after the first time I engaged the orientation lock (literally the first time I locked the orientation), it no longer auto rotates when on the home screen. Worked fine for a couple hours prior to that. When I go to the camera app, it rotates (although lags sometimes, but can't tell the cause).
I've tried hard resetting multiple times with two different methods, made no difference. Searched around, found only one other person describing the problem and no solution.
Has anyone heard of this? Is there any app I can use to further test the sensor?
Thanks all!!
P.S. Sorry for the double post in Q&A, I posted there by accident.
Go to the home screen. Once in at home screen, press and hold anywhere to bring up the screen to add Widgets, etc... Click on the App Short Cut tab and then tap the home scree without actually adding anything. All you are doing is going to the App Short Cut tab. Now when you rotate your SGT the rotation will be much faster.
Try your rotation first before doing this so that you can see the difference in speed.
Enjoy...

on the i9000 there's the home + back combo, is there something like this on the Vibrant?
There is but nobody knows what it is. Its a mystery.
huh?
There's a ton of stuff out there on the web on how everyone at one point had it happen on accident but nobody can reproduce it. If you figure out how to consistently make it happen, you'll be the first IN THE WORLD!!! lol
Check it out:

stock froyo mysteriously does it for some, nobody can do it consistently.
MIUI has this built into it (menu + Vol Down).
It happened to me once; I was jumping around a bunch of apps and the screen froze for a second and made a camera click. I checked my gallery later and it took a screen shot. I don't have any screen cap apps installed. still don't know what I did to do that
Same thing happened to me, not even Devs know ...

Hello, before ICS I was using an app (tap tap tap https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.maicas.android.wsleep&feature=search_result)
to turn off screen by pressing a widget instead of pressing the power button, thereby I avoid to be pressing the annoying button
It worked perfectly, but after flashing ICS it isnt working good, when I try to turn off screen, it does it during half a second but then It go back on in pattern lockscreen. If I dont touch the screen it goes off again after a few seconds
Any idea please? thanks a lot
Maybe the app just doesn't work on ICS? A lot don't yet
Have you noticed that this application has been updated 1 year ago??
Try " screen off and lock "

Hi,
I have Xperia Acro S for a week now.
The mobile is generally great.
I just have some symptom which makes me a bit worried.
The story is like this; the phone is locked, I press the power button to open the screen.... normally it works as it should be.... but some times the screen just shows a fade light and nothing appears on the screen except this fade light. I press the power button again, the fade light disappears, then I press the power button again, the screen opens normally... it works fine after then.
Did it happen to anyone? is there a fix?
Thanks alot,
Gano
I mean it doesnt wake up ... just fade light.... but it works after then with the 2nd trial.
sorry for posting several times... just for clarification .... it is like waking up the phone from the standby mode... the backlight works as well as the buttons (settings, home, back) light up.... i push the power button again... the lights disappear and the phone goes to standby mode again... i press the power button once again... the screen responds normally.
Thanks,
any idea ?
Im also experiencing the same issue recently. Ever since the latest update. 2.45.
I think that the homescreen app crashes resulting in that.
So far i havent found any solution yet.
It occurs occasionally to me. Probably once a day.

Same here, it's like the phone is turned off. It wont react for about 30 seconds. If I have a notification, the light will blink and the screen wont turn on, so I know the phone is "working". It's been like this since the last update, never had this before.

Hmm.. Looks like it is a global issue.. Hope it will get solved in the next update..
Thanks alot

I have seen this too occasionally, I think it's usually when I press the power button to sleep phone while an app (browser, facebook, etc) was trying to load data from net.Then when I immediately press again to wake it, the screen does not respond until another try.
Not sure is this bug of latest firmware as I had not spent much time on the old one. But the new firmware definitely heats up more and often even if just doing simple browsing more than old one. Battery seems not so good also. Hope this gets fixed soon.

Hiya all,
Got my HTC one few weeks back and think its freaking awesome. Love the phone, just one small problem.
Every now and then the two touch buttons (back and home) don't work, but not at the same time.
For example, im using facebook and look at an image. I try to go back but the button doesnt work so I have to use the home button. Usually it works again if u lock the phone the unlock it again.
Sometimes happens to the home button, like when you double touch the home button it shows recent applications. Again I have to lock and unlock it to get the touch buttons to work. Its not a really problem more of an annoyance, just hope it doesn't get worse. But still, I wouldn't expect this from a new phone.
I did email HTC support but they haven't got back to me, any thoughts guys?
I have rooted phones in the past and installed other ROMs, but I wanna keep the stock at least til the warranty is up on this phone. Also checked for updates, and found none.
So yeah, any thoughts
Thanks
Andy

I would return asap. That shouldn't be happening although I heard this issue from someone else but most people don't have this issue.
I'm not an addict I just flash a lot.
