I use go launcher, and I don't know if it got updated or something but every time I press the home soft key instead of going to my home Page it goes into this Page and I can't change the settings.
Here is a pic of the screen it goes when I press the home softkey
UPDATE: AFTER 2.5 DAYS AFTER I PLUG IT ON THE SAMSUNG CHARGER THAT CAME WITH THE PHONE FOR 2 HOURS, I WAS PLAYING SLACKER RADIO, AND NOW THE HOME BOTTON GOES TO MY HOME HOMESCREEN, SO THE PHONE DOES NOT THINK IT IS ON DOCK MODE ANYMORE.
HYPOTHESIS: I believe that the phone left over sweat on the usb got dried today after having time went by and the charger current could of helped too... Perhaps slacker radio had something to do with it lol jks, awesome app though.
WHAT I LEARNED : GO TO THE GYM WITH MY OLD SAMSUNG GALAXY S OR MP3 PLAYER
Thanks for all the help and Moderators can close threat and change name of topic to "Phone stuck on dock mode" since I don't know how to, it was not the go launcher problem and it may help somebody else. Cheers
NEW UPDATE: PHONE BACK AGAIN ON DOCK MODE I GUESS IS GOING ON AND OFF WHENEVER IT WANTS

Is it just going to your other home screens? Can't tell by that image....

Don't know why its doing it but thats the Homedock screen. Thanks what pops up when you put your phone in a dock.

Maybe I misunderstand but it couldn't be as simple as screen pinching on your home screen to reveal all your windows then selecting the home icon of the screen you want as the default... is it?
Oh you might want to post this in the QA forum next time

Do you have Tibu installed? Can you freeze the car dock app to see what happens?
When did it start and what where you doing when it did. maybe an app you installed?
Press menu button. At the bottom left is a setting to change number of screens. Each screen has a little symbol that you can press and whichever one you press will turn green. That will be your home screen. Then go to preferences and set the action of the home button.

I don't have tibu, I can't find an app called car dock, and I searched under management applications but did not see it.
I did not download anything new, and what I did before it did this was put the phone on my pocket and I went to the gym for 4 hours, when I finish the phone had kinda sweat wet, not crazy much but enough that got inside the back cover speaker hole and there was some sweat around the battery.
What I think is the problem is that maybe alot of sweat got inside the usb port and now the phone thinks is plugged in a dock....

This is the screen I get (as stated above) when my Note is in the Samsung Desktop charger. If I remove it from the Samsung Desktop charger it works fine. While in the charger I have to push the back softkey to return to the Home screen.
Any ideas? How do I freeze the dock app, but I read it should clean or clear the usb port, idk how, but please help :s

Hey guys, it seems my x10 has a dead spot in its touchscreen. It just doesn't recognize when touched in the right top corner. It is actually exactly between the middle and the extreme right of the phone. When playing chess for example, there is a piece I can't select, tried everything without success. Is this happening only to me or not?
No it is happening to me too. Right where the magnifying glass is on the market app. Top right hand corner...

Same here, I tougth that's just mine...dead on search button in market.
No, the search in the market is fine for me, it is exactly another square by its left, and even after pressing hard or for long tries I get it to work, it just doesn'r respond.
I'm having the same problem,exactly on market search button.Started happening after 2.1 update....
ON lyk screen press
menu back back menu back menu menu back
if u using 2.1 den press home button inplace of menu
chek in service tests/touch screen
spot by yewrself whea ur self phone has dead touchh
Yes, I know this test, but it doesn't do it justice, it draws in the spot when you touch right before the dead part to just after it
when in market, i have to press search at least twice for it to function
I'm having a similar problem.
The top row of QWERTYUIOP doesn't work on the default android keyboard, but it works absolutely fine if I select Korean!
On the home screen the section is also dead & I can't use apps that occupy that space, so I have to go down to the drawer and select it from there. But if I want to use that spot to scroll between my homescreens, I can drag perfectly fine, or drag shortcuts there perfectly fine. On the keyboard if I drag I can highlight the nonworking keys, but I can't use them.
It is especially irritating on dialog boxes though.
I went into PC companion & I did a repair install of 2.1 (AT&T grr) and it didn't fix anything, just now I'm inconvenienced in that now I need to restore all my apps.

I've sent mine to the warranty, and they gave me a new one working. The new x10 had a dead pixel, then I sent it to the warranty again, but after a year (on the last warranty day), so they would not have any x10s left, and it worked, they gave me an Arc
Last night I gave my gf my s2 to play a game with. When she was playing the voice command thing kept coming on, she probably at some point double pressed the home button and that happened. I did notice it though that it came up some times when she was just touching the screen.
Anyhow, when she gave it back to me whenever I was pressing the home button instead of going to the regular homescreen it would show me something completely different I never saw before. After rebooting the home button worked like before. Anyone recognize the "different" home screen?
Looks like the desk clock found in the clock app (to the right of the stopwatch, you need to scroll right to see it).
You are right, just checked and it's that. I don't know how it got activated though.
Wait, I think I do. The phone was being charged with one of those portable battery changer things (Veho Pebble) and the phone was probably tricked or something thinking it was docked or whatever.
I have the exact same issue. When I press the Home button, this app comes up instead of the launcher. I tried setting the launcher using "Home Switcher" app, but it does not stick, I mean, when I start "Home Switcher" again it says "Your default Home app is (not determined yet)".
Anyone has any idea how to solve this?
Does anyone know where the options are for the kickstand? I can't get anything to come on the screen when i open it. My screen rotates but stays on the homes creen with no options.
Wont work if you are using an alternate launcher like LPP. Other wise its under display settings, toggle kick stand on.

So if your watching a movie & have the kickstand up with the phone on the table, the screen wont stay on if your using launcher pro?

Yes it will work just fine. I was referring to the options that pop up for you to select while in kick-stand mode.
I use go.launcher and when I open kickstand I then have to hit the home button to bring up the clock

I use go launcher and I can't get the default desk clock to show no matter what I try.
What about being able to turn the screen side ways without the kick stand up? I like to turn my phone side ways and have the home screen long ways.
any ideas?
(everything else turns when i turn the phone, ie text browser option screen most programs, just not the home screen, unless the kick stand is out?)

Launcher Pro lets you do this, but you loose the kickstands activation of the desk top mode.I've made a shortcut on one of my homescreens for the desktop when I want it.

With LP, you get an option to put an activity on your homescreen just like you would for a widget or application. Long press a homescreen, select shortcut, select activity, select desk home, select desk home.

I'm using Launcher Pro and the kickstand option works fine for me. When I open the kickstand, it asks if I want to go into widget clock/kickstand mode. Is that not what happens for other people?

It didn't used to work for me, that's why I made the shortcut, but I just tried it and it worked. I wonder if this has to do with me flashing the Laser P-ROM yesterday which has the HDMI webtop hack. Do you have this hack installed? I also noticed I get a notification that I'm connected to multimedia station even though I'm not when the kickstands activates. I didn't get that message before.
This doesn't happen with my international note. The hardware buttons stay lit along as the screen is on. Also, dock mode activates BUT if you hit the back button......how the heck do you get back in it????
With international note you hit the home button twice, BUT YOU CAN'T DO THAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT BUTTON......thanks att

Did you try hit the home button only once? At least that's how it works on Captivate. On my AT&T SGS2, there isn't any dock app home screen. So, it really doesn't matter. The only thing the dock does for my SGS2 is re-direct the audio.
Isn't there an option to double-tap the Note to enable voice recognition in the Voice talk settings? Not quite sure I understood your OP though, maybe that's not what you're looking for. Or maybe it is and it will activate every time you go over a speed bump...
If you put the phone in the dock and lock it in with the slide connector it goes into dock mode. You can hit the back button and it will exit to tw. The car/dock mode is still active in the pull down menu. If you click that is turns off dock mode. Then there is no way to put it back in dock mode unless you open the dock and reconnect it. With the international note you could push the hardware home button twice and it would go in dock mode even if it wasn't in the dock.

Hi,
I have the samsung desktop dock and when i plug in the phone it changes the behaviour of the home button.
When the phone is docked the home button launches the desktop clock (see attachment for screenshot) instead of going to the home screen.
I also attached the current dock settings, but i don't really see an option on how to disable it.
As you probably already guessed i just want the home button to go home, even when its docked. Is there a way to change this?
Tia!

DockAwake should do the trick.
I don't know why, but my brain skipped the idea of looking on the play store for a solution
And it's not that posting this thread was an impulsive reaction, it's been nagging me for weeks...
Asking it here at xda was sort of my last resort.
Anyway, i ended up installing this app that does just what i asked:

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction!

Your welcomed CoolCow...That's what these things take sometime...is a nudge in the right direction.
As well as the 2 mentioned here, there is also DockNothingness. So that's 3 choices at least.
I gave you a THANKS button push to get you started
Thanks right back at you
