Hi all...
I have galaxy s2 & em enjoying it...
But from some days the "lockscreen" button started facing some problem.
It doesn't work until it is press harder & harder.
Please tell me IS THERE ANY APP THATS REDUCES THE USE OF LOCKSCREEN BUTTON?
NOTE: I didn't use it much because I have lockscreen software to lock screen and I use my home button to unlock/wakeup my phone.

Judging from the above problem, I can say that there seems to be a hardware issue. There is no app that reduces the effort involved in pushing the lock screen button. It is a long shot but then there may be a possibility that the software you use to lock it without pushing the lock button is the culprit. I may be wrong.
cheers.

You can easily go in to the settings of android and tell the phone not to have a lock screen
It's a hardware problem. Try disassemble your SGS II and see if there's something that causes this problem in your "lock" button, or just live with it...

I really want an app to lock proximity sensor on (so screen off during a call) until home button pressed, or something like that. Lately I have been having a lot of calls disconnected or accidentally placed on hold, and I think an app like this would be fantastic.
Anyone know of any?
You dont need an app this is easy to do, while in a call just press home so your on the "desktop" then just press the lock button. The screen now wont turn on regardless of the sensor

cool thanks for the info.. I still think an app that did it automatically would be awesome though!
Anyone found this application? It would be very useful..
Is it possible to change the way the home button acts? I dislike the way when you hit the home button it puts the current app into a background process. Could we change it so like an iPhone the home button fully closes an app when pressed?

Excuse me, but I believe the iPhone puts the process to background too.
Right now im using the cynogenmod 7 KANG's version, when you go to the USB settings there is a option to fully close an app by holding the back button. You can also customize the home/menu button using that rom.

Thanks man! I've found the option in the application development but how do i customise it further?
So pretty often when I hold the home button there's like 0,5-2 seconds delay between the vibration and the actual multitask menu to come up. Not like my Galaxy S2 where it always came up immediately. Anyone having this too?

wow it was already a bummer than you had to hold the home button for app switcher but now there is another noticeable delay on top of that?!
I was 50/50 on whether to bite the bullet and preorder my very first android phone. but now I am for sure going to wait till I can test the phone in person at the at&t store.
The lag is caused by the S Voice. "S Voice -> Settings -> Launch S Voice" option needs to be be unchecked. Then the lag should be gone.

How is that connected to multitasking? Anyway... I haven't got this delay but the multitasking menu doesn't feel as smooth as it should... Only time I've experienced the new multitasking as smooth, is with cm9 on sgs2. Sgs2 stock ics is slow as ****

Well s voice is activated by double pressing home button. So the phone is waiting to see if you're going to press the second time to activate s voice, that might cause the lag. By turning it off, it should greatly reduce the lag.
I do not have this issue, but I found that sometimes, when the keyboard is open and you press and hold the home key to open task switcher, the keyboard closes, the task switcher appears for a split second and closes.
This doesn't happen all the time, but once it happens it'll keep happening every time you attempt to open the task switcher with the keyboard open, until you restart the phone.

I belive you are talking about the delay when quitting an app with the homebutton, there is no point in having the system wait for a second press if you still is holding the button. I have turned s Voice of because of the "return to home" lag, that does not help that my multitasking menu sometimes is not showing up as fast as the vibration...
You mean system recognize you want the multitasking menu up after you have hold down the button, gives you a vibration to confirm your command is confimred.. then waits a bit longer just to see if it was a mistake and you instead want s Voice to launch? Although it's even disabled?

Well it doesn't happen always.. And it certainly doesn't have to do anything with s-voice.
Yeah I noticed the same thing too after moving over from the S2

Is there an alternative to using the home button? My guess is prolonged use might render it ineffective.
I'm currently using the back key to come home.

Same Query
Same query..pls help.. Came across one app but it requires Root.
Pie settings in aokp roms like rootbox have a touchscreen home button.

The purpose of this button is to be pressed. A lot.
Don't sweat about the little things.....
BTW - your AMOLED screen is getting burnt-in because it's displaying the same images constantly (like battery, signal and data/wifi indicators).

I was wondering if there is a mod that allows you to tap the home button instead of pressing it. similar to virtual home jailbreak mod for iphone found here:

Want it too maybe no for now but will possible in the future!

Here we are guys! Finally there is an app which allow to tap the home button instead of pressing it! https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jamworks.easyhome
Yes its quite similar to the tap to unlock feature found on the new nexus phones. But the downside to this app is that this doesnt work if u r using fingerprint unlock, which i use all the time.
+1. i am using fingerprint unlock too
Same, giving up the fingerprint unlock is something I don't want to do...
Use this app. Pretty accurate for me,don't know why people gave it low rating.
