Dropped my phone and the bottom right of the screen cracked rendering the menu button useless. Is there any other way I can get the function of the menu button via on screen app or some sort, is there any way to enable the overflow menu button?
You may be able to find the functionality your looking for using LMT. You can find it somewhere on xda..in the general apps section I think.

LMT is awesome. Link to a page toward the end of the thread cause that's where I was.

For some reason I cannot get the ISAS to work in LMT. Anybody who has it working, what's your setup in the settings?

I'd never tried them before...mussed with them for a couple minutes but was unable to get them to work. I only use the pie function.

I use to just hold my magnify glass symbol to google search. A couple times I have fumbled my phone around and looked at it and the picker for voice search was lit up but since I don't have the magnify glass symbol om my LTE I can't figure out what I am pressing

I miss it too. If you run MeanROM, you can half press the camera key and it acts the same as the magnifying glass.

Look in your app drawer for a blue G it will just say Google under it.

That's it! I couldn't figure out what I was doing to reproduce this. Thanks

Forgive me if this was already posted but I was playing around in the task manager and went to default tab and cleared the setting. After you do that go to your notification drop down and select setting and it will ask which settings program you want to use. Choose the one without the folder behind it.

I believe if you go into settings and hit the menu button, you will have the option to switch into list view. Also, there are two "settings" in your app drawer. One is for the tabs, one is for list.

Lol. :silly:
I actually didn't know this could changed at all. Thanks to both of you. I personally prefer the list view.
Well, now that we're doing things the easy way, anyone know how to get the battery usage screen with the graph at the bottom that shows wifi on, awake, screen on, etc? I've only been able to see it when I get the low battery warning, which isn't very often with this phone.

A shorter way to get there is Settings/Power saver/Battery Use.

Thing is, I only get the line graph. Not the bar graph that I'm used to seeing below it. Any who, not a big deal, just so used to having it available. Thanks, anyway.

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.

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.

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.

One feature I used all the time on the S4 and S3 was the voice control to say "cheese" or "shoot" to take a picture. I can't seem to find that setting anywhere on the S5. Is it gone?
It is there, click the cog in the corner of the camera screen and scroll down, should say voice commands or the like.
EDIT: Specifically open the camera app, click the cog in the corner, far bottom left tile which says "Voice Control"
