Hi,
I just found a complain here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1820551 but not with not interesting answer.
My question is : Why Google change the way that back button is working when you come from a notification. Everything is writing down here :
http://developer.android.com/design/patterns/navigation.html
Before, when a notification fire, and you open it. Pressing back button take you back to the application you was one before you open the notification.
For example : You are browsing the web. Someone talk to you on GTalk, and you decide to answer. You open the notification, respond, and press back. The difference between Android 4.X and Android 2.3 is here :
On Android 2.3, you go back to your browser, continue to read your article
On Android 4.X, you go to the contact list of GTalk !!! It's just illogical ! If I press back button, I want to return to what I was going just before ! Most of the time, you press Back multiple times, goes back to multiple old conversation. Then finaly, annoyed, press Home, search for the browser icon, waiting for the reloading, and continue to read your article.
I made a little picture to explain the problem

Probably in the wrong place, but since I can't post in the actual thread and searching yielded no results, I'll ask here:
Is the favorites menu available for the scs? The beta ROM works great, but effectively have no multitasking without it.
Now I did manage to get it to appear one completely by accident, but couldn't replicate the result. The sequence was: clock, close screen, open screen... And there it was. I have no idea how it appeared.
Will it be added in the future, our is it not possible due to the fact that the phone doesn't have that button?
Nvm I'm an idiot. Long press on home button brings up the favorites menu. Why didn't I try that before...
I've been using Android for 2 years and just bought my Mango Titan past week. Having read many positive reviews, I had high hopes.
There are things that I had expected a normal user would expect to have. Things that really disappoints (or is there any app to solve these?):
1.No smart dialing. I found apps on Market to complement that but then those apps does smart dialing and nothing more. To see phone history, missed calls etc, I have to go back to the original phone app. Kind of strange to put two phone app tiles on main screen.
2. How to turn off notification sound at night automatically? My phone charges on my night desk and keeps beeping when emails come in in the the middle of the night. In Android we have the SoundManager app that can set daily time zones to turn on/off various rings/notifications.
3. Pressing on the live tiles will launch a program (say Facebook app). That's fine, but having pressed the Win button to go back to main screen and launch the same app again seems to launch the program from scratch (i.e. slow). It's very often that we hop among a few apps to do things. Long press on the "back" button could bring things back much more quickly.
4. Calendar. The calendar is the weakest thing I've used in the past few years (WM6, Android 1.5-2.3, iOS) It's basically useless in the month-view as I cannot read anything on it and there is no week-week. Calens\dar tile seems to only show tomorrow's events and nothing beyond een when the tile has lots of space left to show more stuff.
5. On-line status. Is there any way I don't sync status with all accounts? Right now when I say I'm on-line for MSN chat, it'll also show me on-line in Facebook...
6. No folder to aggregate various tiles/apps. My tile and app list is already growing so long that I find it cumbersome to scroll through it.
7. Hand writing Chinese recognition is so slow. Basically the stroke lags.
8. WhatsApp problem. Very often it says I have received new msg and the tile says so too. Yet when I go inside, nothing. May be this is WhatsApp only?
Am I the only one that is disappointed? Sadly the list seems to be growing...

Ok there is multitasking in WP 7.5 instead pressing back button each time U leave a app press the home button the middle one and then if you have more then one app that U opened up U can press and hold the back button the left one and it brings up all current running apps and it will instanly pick up where U left of.

Also when U have enoug apps on ur phone in the scrol menu will apear letters a b c on so forth where all Apps are listed when U press on the letter a for exsample a checker board comes up where U select letters a to z for fast app access also U can just do voice search. Also folders are available when you root your phone. It is a homebrew app.

Peace!
Probably one of the most annoying thing to me on the s3 is the stock messaging app. When you open it you are always in the last message that you viewed before, even if you just received a new message. I think if you get a new message it should either open in that new message or at least open on the main list of all your messages.
Is there a setting that i am missing to change it from always opening on the last message that you viewed?
If you closed the messaging app by pressing the home button than it will open at the same place you left last time but if you close it by pressing the back button than next time when you open it will open in the main menu...
It requires you to press the back button twice as appose to just ones with the home button but it is at least a work around. Thanks for the tip! I will just have to get in the habbit of doing that. Thanks again
I have text in hotmail & on website forums that I'd like to copy & paste across multiple forums.
These are long list of sports cards.
On my tablet I get the two blue tab markers to come up when I do a long press on the text but the issue is as I scroll up or down a page the markers don't seem to want to continue in whatever direction it is I'm going as I try to highlight text.
I have done the select all option but that picks up unwanted text on the top, bottom, & sometimes side.
Any ideas, thoughts, or suggestions?
Now to add I have another issue, as I was going to copy some text, my tab froze for 5-10 second after highlighting text and pressing the copy button. Then it dropped the internet screen I was on all together in sending me to the home page.
No idea how or why this came about. Should I do a factory reset to see if that helps anything or is that too extreme as I don't really want to lose all the apps and pictires I have on here.
Tab marking:
Just long press and hold the end market and pull it to the end of the screen. The scroll should keep highlighting.
Screen freeze:
Which ROM, KERNEL are you using? Stock or custom?

I have an Lg G2 running Cloudy G2(4.4.2). Phone was working fine until 2 days ago. Now the "back" soft key does not work like it used to in many apps. For just a few examples:
Chrome
Before: back key took you to the previous web page
Now: takes you to the main home screen with all my apps, but if I then go back into chrome and the hit the back key it will go the the previous web page
Reddit is fun
Lets say I was in a post,
Before: would take me back out to my reddit home page
Now: takes you to the main home screen with all my apps, but if I then go back into reddit and the hit the back key it will go the the previous web page
Sharing a post from an app to another app(reddit to hangouts for example)
Before: when hitting share it would take you to the app in which to share the post. Then hitting back key would cycle through all the screens and you would end up back in the reddit post
Now: takes you to the main home screen with all my apps. Going back into the app doesn't work. You have to close the app
Hangouts
Before: If I was in a chat, hitting the back key took me back out the list of chats
Now : takes you to the main home screen with all my apps, but if I then go back into hangouts and the hit the back key it will go the the previous web page
What could have caused the back soft key functionality to change like that?
Thanks,
Craig
Maybe a bit of a simple solution which you probably already tried but did you reboot?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Many times
Maybe you could backup your data and factory reset.
Always works for me.
