in s-voice settings did you uncheck open via home key?

YES! but its not that it takes time to GET me to the Home Screen, but the Home Screen itself takes time to load! (really long)

well that is a common problem in the leaked ones. i have that too when ever i multi task. rooting can help you.

Its because TW is kicked out if memory being a background app whilst another app is in use, if you go back to 4.1 you can use either JKay's framework or xposed app settings lock touchwiz home in memory (xposed may work on the leak I'm not 100% sure) however keep in mind this will affect multitasking a bit.

Stock browser - will it auto close?

Hi guys and girls.
I need to ask this. My gf love using stock browser to watch movie. Since stock browser doesn't have the close or exit button like what browsers have, once she press the home screen, will the stock browser still run at background and auto close when say we have escape it for about a few minutes?
I do not want to see the browser still running and my data goes away for free.
Can you advise me on this? Many thanks all!

I'm pretty sure the stock browser wont use any data when it is not foreground.
Once you hit the home icon it will still be running in the background but wont be using any data.The only thing it could effect is your battery.

Thanks guys!
That is good news indeed! Thank you for your clarification
Pressing home keeps it running for a while in the state it was in. If you keep pressing the back button on your phone you will eventually be back at your homescreen and resets the browser's state.
It will still run on the background i guess and bad thing it consumes more battery
If you are still worried about it you can always hold down the centre home button until "task administrator" appears.it shows all the tasks that are open.close it from there,its perfectly safe as thats what its made for.

[Q] JB standby home button closes app.

Hi,
I seem to have this annoying problem. Lets say I am reading an article in some app. Now my phone goes on standby after 1 minute of inactivity. In ICS, I could press the home button and get back to the app I was on. In JB pressing the home button closes the app and brings me back to home screen. Is there a way to disable that?
Yes there is. Go to settings, than developer settings, scroll down to bottom and uncheck "Destroy any activity soon as user leaves is"
Also, check background process limit. If it is set to 0 then select "Standard Limit"

My developer options were off. And none of that was checked anyways. The annoyance started when I updated to JB.
Than really i cant help you, because i dont have that problem. I also have jelly bean installed.

Oh well thanks. Hopefully someone can figure out a way to solve this problem.
Have exactly the same problem. Before Jelly Bean this didn't happen.
I guess I'll just have to get used to waking it up with the power button instead until there's a fix.
Btw I'm running stock 4.1.1.

The problem is that the lock screen has not yet activated, therefore commands are passed to the current app running. You need to use the power button to turn on the screen. Else, search thru the settings for where to change the lock screen to lock immediately the screen the screen goes off. This might help.

yes it helps.you must set the lock screen and it works.but is there any way without look screen to ?
This problem seems to be affecting those who turned off S-Voice
Just go into its setting and enable it to activate via double pressing home button. The problem then goes away in JB.
yes it works ! i have only installed s-voice apk and thats it !

Home button changed

After f***** jb came onto my phone the home button now exits my app after coming from turned off screen. Hate it! I dont want to enable s-voice because it makes the home button lag... Is there any other way to restore home button behaviour to ICS?

Use the power button instead.
Another option is to disable S-Voice.

Upgrade to a newer JB build. That problem's been fixed for a few weeks, ever since LJ1 or LJ2.

I disagree. I have LJ4 and I have that problem. The only solution I found was to start using the power button instead.
I have this problem also. I am running liquidsmooth rc 7. And i have this also on other roms

Since JB update I have no lag on home button even with S-Voice double tap enabled. Also, the apps are not closing when I wake up the phone with home, only if I have s-voice disabled.

main problem is with no lock screen, this results in the phone return to the home screen when unlocked with home.
if you use a lock it will load that, then the last app, unless you press home just as the screen dims.

I have this also. As you say, with s voice double tap enabled, it doesn't happen.
With nova or apex and no program running it pulls up the screen preview. Extremly annoying.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
If you install a custom stock-based ROM with s-voice removed (an option in several ROMs with the Aroma installer), the home button issue does not occur.
I have found that it only works with s voice enabled too.I have found no other way on stock
Screen off automatically ------> before 5 seconds, press home button = app exits and shows your home. It's because your phone locks after 5 seconds after your screen automatically turns off. When it locks after 5 seconds, it will show your lock screen.
My advice for you: stop posting useless threads, post in the firmware's thread. Crying here won't solve and won't make anyone fix it.
I have lock, but I have apps which turns the screen off without locking it. When I press home button the screen is turning instantly and no screen lock. I'm very happy with the Jelly Bean update.

[HELP] Nova Launcher issues. Says widgets are malfunctioning, even tho they are not

Hi there.
After the last big update to Nova some weeks ago, this started (see attached SS).
Have anyone tried it before? Sometimes it just appears; this time after I played on N64oid. Another weird thing is that sometimes I can just press System Settings (top right corner) and then press the Nexus 7 home button, and then it sends me back to the home screen, like nothing was ever wrong.
I have tried removing the widgets and replacing them afterwards! It removes the problem, but it returns after a while again.
I'm on JB - Paranoid android 2.56; Franco kernel.
Someone know what to do? Thanks in advance.

I have the same problem on Note 2 with stock Image, but rooted.
Did you find any solution for this?
I think the problem could be to many widgets or a specific widget that makes the problem.
A reboot solves the problem for me but just for a short time. I did not find any way to reproduce the problem, it seems to be coming up by chance...
I have 22 widgets at the moment, the most are coming because I am useing "App Quarantine" a lot...

Bug reports for Jelly Bean 4.1.2

Hi all,
I installed the latest official firmware from Samsung which was rolled out officially in Spain, and I wanted to take the opportunity to share two things that bother me:
1.) Lock screen shortcuts: any shortcut app on the lock screen (e. g. camera, flash light) still asks for the PIN. I thought the idea of the shortcuts was to avoid having to type in the PIN for non-security-related apps ...
2.) Keyboard language switching: the space bar wiping for switching the language is really nice, BUT: voice typing does not use the same language as the one specified for typing! When I go to voice typing, even worse, I have to select the language I want to dictate two times, the first time will not be recognized!
Ok, hopefully I am wrong but I rather doubt it... if anybody can confirm these things please let me know!

Well....lockscreen freeze on leak jb, that's a bug.
Shortcuts: PIN code selected as lockscreen security? If so, make sense that it'll prompt.
KB language: Got no idea, never used it.

If it's not a bug, what is the benefit? Suppose I have the flashlight app on my homescreen. If I want to access it I have to do:
- enter PIN
- tap on the icon
Now, with the great new lockscreen shortcuts, I do:
- tap on the icon
- enter the PIN
What's the benefit of the lock screen shortcuts, anyone?
What's the benefit of setting your lockscreen to ask you for a PIN number?
So that people can't access to your device.
Shorcuts play the same role.

Yes, the benefit of the PIN is security. I did not understand the rest of your answer.
As far as I understand, the widgets and shortcuts on the lock screen of the pure Android Jelly Bean, as it is installed on the Nexus 4, is the following: you can access some applications even without entering your PIN. This makes totally sense for some non-security related applications like the flashlight, or the music player. In the Samsung Jelly Bean adoption, I still have to enter the PIN code - so what's the sense of the shortcut then?
If something is not working as it is intended it is a bug. To me, this is a bug. Where can I file a bug report for the Samsung Jelly Bean?

On htc sense is the same. Has been since 2011 on Sense 3.
It's not a bug. No point reporting it, it makes sense, why would you set a password but apps can be opened from shortcuts?

So, what's the point of the shortcuts then? I don't see why it is faster to first press the icon and then enter the PIN, compared to first entering the PIN and then pressing the icon.
So you don't want anyone that hasn't your PIN code to use your phone, but you also don't mind them using whatever apps you got shorcuted on your lockscreen?
That's how you want your phone's security to work?

Galaxy S2 Omega v19.2 FC during charge
Hi all,
I have just installed the omega v19.2 rom and found a bug. If I put the USB cable to the phone (charger or my PC, does not matter) and let it switch off itself automatically, then I can not switch on the device again, have to pull out the battery and restart again. If I switch off the screen with the power button during charging than it does not freeze, i can switch it on again. Any solution?
