Home Screen Chrome Shortcuts not working - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have 4 shortcuts on my home screen that only work some of the time. If I am using chrome and then I press the Home button to go back to the home screen then tap one of of my shortcuts it switches back to chrome (the last page I was on) but it doesn't load the shortcut from my Home Screen.
If I then close all the chrome tabs and then repeat, the Home Screen shortcuts work fine. Does this happen to anyone else and if so it's there a fix?
Cheers

[Q] Home button sends to dock

First off I'm new to the Gtab. I'm currently running Vegan 5.1. Everytime I hit my hard home button it takes me to a switchboard with four buttons. In order to get go my actual home screen I have to select the home icon. This is becoming extremely annoying hitting two buttons every time to get home. Is this normal or am I missing a setting?
What launcher are you using? There is usually a tab in the settings menu for what tapping the home key does.
I'm currently using the VLT launcher just released, but it does the same thing for stock launcher and launcher pro. I scoured the settings and can't find the home button setting. Saw it in Launcher pro but it didn't change anything. Not sure what else to try at this point.
The screen it sends me to appears to be the screen you see when you would place your phone on the dock. It has the alarm clock button, music, home, and gallery button on the bottom with only the time showing.
Button savior works correctly. Unfortunately I'm not a button savior fan. This its the only bug on my tab and its driving me nuts.
Just wanted to update. I read a lot of other Vegan users having this same issue. I ended up freezing the Clock app using Titanium and that corrected the issue. Not sure what other adverse effects that will cause but it worked for me.
Anybody have any other ideas how to fix this? I'm using TNT Lite 4.4 with Launcher Pro. I've set the home button to "Do nothing" in Launcher Pro preferences, and also checked the option that says "Home key to default screen" but neither one of those seems to have had an effect. Thanks!

New screen on single press of home key

I have had my Galaxy S2 for a few days now. Originally when I pressed the home button it would take me to the center home screen ( I use LauncherPro ). Suddenly it started going to this screen - see attached screen shot.
Does anyone know how to fix?
That looks like the dock which is in the Clock application.. I can suggest a few things.
1. Check settings in launcher pro and see what the home binding option is.
2. Go to clock application and clear any defaults, then press home button and select launcher pro as default.
3. Uninstall and re-install launcher pro and press home button and set launcher pro as default.

You were right, it was the home screen landing setting in launcher pro, I had inadvertently switched it to hide notification bar, and instead the car dock screen showed up when I pressed it. All fixed now!

[Q] Adding Widgets-Disappearing

Where do some of the widgets go when you add them to a home screen? If I press a blank area on my home screen and add a widget, sometimes it flies to the screen and isn't there when I go to that screen. Where are they going? I have even tried this on a home screen with nothing on it.

[Q]Set home panel?

Hey everyone!
How can I set the home panel on my DNA? I'm unable to find any documentation or any settings to set which panel I want to appear when I hit my home button.
When you're on your default home screen, hit the home button to show all your home screens in a grid. Then drag your home screen to whichever position you want it to be.

launcherhijack+nova launcher bug, please help

So I downloaded launcher hijack and nova launcher for a new Amazon fire hd 8 tablet because I thought the home menu was kinda confusing and I wanted a traditional Android home screen instead. All was fine in the beginning but then whenever I would hit the home button to get out of an app it show the home menu for a second but then would send me to the tabs menu instead, even though I didn't tell it to do that. Then once it's in the tabs menu no matter what buttons I push it just keeps sending me back to the tabs menu. One workaround that only works like 25% of the time is that once it sends me to the tabs menu if I click the tabs button to go to the last opened app and then hit the home button it will let me go to the home screen, but like I said, that rarely works. So I was wondering if anybody else has experienced this bug and if anybody could help me fix it as I'm not sure what I did wrong. Thank you for your time.
