[Q] Home button timeout - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I press home button there is like 1 second timeout before homescreen is opened. I never noticed the same timeouts on any other android handsets. Is it done for purpose? And could it be disabled, so that home button work imidiatly?

I believe this is caused by S Voice. The home button launch can be disabled in the app itself.

Doesn't really help, I've disabled mine and noticed no difference.

So, looks like I'am not the only one confused by this behaviour...

No its known and happened on s2 also, disabling s voice helps a lot but if you flash cm9 you will see it reacts instantly

Disabling s-voice really helped. Thanks!

Portable hot spot disabling its self

Hi guys,
I've been tethering my phone to a windows laptop via usb for about a month now with no problems. However, because of the lack of support for usb tethering on the mac, I'm forced to use wifi tethering with my mac.
The issue is that wifi tethering keeps disabling its self every so often (maybe 20 mins)
I have the international s3 with the latest available ota update.
Any suggestions?

I've noticed similar behavior myself. Seems to turn itself off when nothing is connected on mine. Haven't used it enough to know the details of the behaviour though.
Mind you I'm using a firmware from six weeks ago, so a lot could have been fixed in the builds/updates since. I figure it has been fixed because I've not seen any other reports of the bug.

Go to portable hotspot settings, hit the menu button then timeout settings, hit never timeout (or a time)

Brilliant. I hoped it might be something like that. Let's hope that solves it, thanks!

LOL. I never though of a menu there too. I feel pretty ashamed of myself right now. But, I was spot on on the timeout though
Thanks!

Yup, this was indeed the issue. Timeout removed and I managed to successfully sit there browsing for a few hours last night.

Ringtone/Crescendo

Am I the only person that has this issue? I when I receive call the volume starts really low then shoots up to max volume. This is annoying. I have looked thru the options to see if I clicked something by accident but can't find anything.
Any help guys?

Hey bro, Go to the phone app of your phone (dialer or contacts) press the menu button and press the "call settings" button. Option should say "Increase volume in pocket" or something around those lines depending on the rom. Just un-check that and done!
thanks elracing

You need to hold the back soft key for a couple of seconds.
I hold it until it does the lil vibration

Lol this it isn't the home button that brings up multitasking.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Holding down the home button brings up the recent apps. Holding the back button down brings up the "Multi-window" bar. If you don't see it, make sure you have multi-window turned on in settings or in the widgets in the notification bar. I think its one of the furthest widgets on the right (scroll).
Ok i guess i should use different words when i push the home button down sometimes it will stop bringing up the "recent apps" and i have to restart the phone for it to start working again

Exactly, the OP asked for the multitasking window feature, which is activated holding the back soft key that's located to the right of the home key.

Try going into Settings-->Application Manager-->scrolling over to the ALL tab, and clearing the cache and/or data for the TouchWiz Home. If that fails to resolve your issue, then you may end up needing to do a factory reset. My device isn't showing any stored cache, so I would delete the data from my phone before doing a factory reset. However, you may have stored cache, which I'd delete that first and see if the problem goes away.
Are you running any sort of task killer? If so, many time the recent applications list gets wiped.
Good Luck,
Jason

I sometimes think of long home press as multi-tasking myself. Recently opened apps are lined up in their last data state ready for quick waking. And you can quickly get back to your very last app by tapping the see through screen visible below all the other apps.
I tried clearing the TouchWiz data and that didnt seem to help i guess i will do a factory reset tomorrow and hopefully that solves the issue if not ive only had the phone for a week so i guess i can do an exchange

I just read about a person who had a defective power button, so if the factory reset doesn't work then take it into Verizon and tell them the home button is defective.

Anyone get that update?

Last night I got some Samsung push service update. Ever since I ran the update it seems like my s4 has been running quicker. Am I just imagining this?

Got it the other day. It was an update for Samsung apps from what I gathered from the playstore info.
here is the link for info:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.spp.push&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDEsImNvbS5zZWMuc3BwLnB1c2giXQ..
So is it possible it made my phone faster or am I imagining it you think?

Do you ever have a slight half second delay when you hit the home button when you're in an app but other times it's like instant?

Imaging it. The update is to an individual apk and has nothing to do with I/O.

Make sure that in the Settings for S Voice you disable the home button activating S Voice. Makes Home button response better.

Placebo. I actually got the notification for that update, realized that I forgot to freeze it, so I froze it. It's just bloatware.
Wish I could figure out why my home button has a slight delay sometimes. Closing all recent apps makes it go away.

Do you have the S-Voice mapped to your home button? If you push it twice then it opens S-Voice you do. Just disable it from the S-Voice options.

If you ever want your phone to feel quicker just go into recovery and clear your cache.

I wish Google Voice Search could be used with the home button instead of S voice. Seems to be a much better application.

Random screen change when powered off

Ok so kinda hard to explain.. but I have a Note 3 from Sprint - unrooted and just plane stock..
I like it and enjoying it..
I noticed the other day something strange.. then I thought.. I saw this a few times on my Galaxy S2....
when you turn my phone on it has the default red background to swipe...
With my phone sitting there every now and then I notice it turns itself on and gives a totally different screen...
this is just more of a why is it doing it and has anyone seen it before...
I seen it to but I think much of it
