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.

I see the OP asked for assistance regarding something completely different from what they wanted.
Sorry for the confusion i used to call it muti tasking on my old phone i guess since its a multi window feature on this phone some can get confused

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.

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!
For some reason, the time in the notification bar does not update unless I go into the lock screen and come back. Anyone else have this problem? Anything I can do to fix this?

I had to wipe cache. Then it worked. I kept trying to set alarms but they would never go off. Then I notice that the clock wouldn't change unless I unlocked screen.

How do I clear cache... Im not rooted. This really drives me crazy and has made me late a couple of times already. Clock doesn't change until I turn the screen off.

I don't believe this is a Note 2 problem. I noticed today and on numerous occasions in the past 6 months my Thunderbolt has been doing this as well. It'll get stuck at a certain hour and won't update until after I start messing with the phone again.
It might be a network problem my boyfriends iPhone time gets stuck sometimes he's on Verizon if that helps?

I cleared cache which obviously made me restart the phone and now it's working fine. That was weird. l hope it doesn't happen again.

Literally stops working. No haptic feedback and it doesn't go back in apps. Have to hit home button.

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.

I wish Google Voice Search could be used with the home button instead of S voice. Seems to be a much better application.
Every time I press the home button it brings up the recent apps/task manager multitasker window. I click it once for a split second and it brings it up like it would if I held it down for five seconds. This has been happening for about a month now and I have no idea why. Plus I notice that when I turn off the screen it lags for a second too. I'm on build MJ7 and I'm rooted. Yes I have tried turning the phone off and clearing the memory, along with setting processes to the lowest amount but nothing works. Does anyone know what it is or how to fix it? Thanks.
