I like using the fingerprint for navigation. If I hold I can return to the Homescreen. This works for everything but browsers which don't exit on hold(unless I tab them first, then it works). Is the browser waiting for a fingerprint read response?? Can I turn it off so it exits like all my other apps?
For me it's double tap that brings the home screen with browsers, not hold.

That doesn't work for me. Well it does if I'm only reading one page infront of opening it (Tap once - back to browsers opening page Tap second time - Back to homescreen).
Holding closes every app but the browsers
Very annoying especially when it works for every other app but the browsers which get used a fair bit.
This is still my major annoyance with this phone. Has anyone found a browser that exits on holding the fingerprint reader?
I believe this is done by design, since the browser makes use of the fingerprint scanner as touch to go back - for people using this feature it would become very annoying to have it return to the Home Screen. The proper use of the fingerprint is to touch to go back, and touch and hold to return to Home Screen, and this appears to be disabled in apps that have a Back button to avoid confusion.
The only workaround I have is to first slide up on the fingerprint to show recent apps and then touch and hold to return to Homescreen.

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!
Hi,
I am using Widgetlocker because of the ability to unlock with the keys on the side of the Atrix (volume keys).
But after unlocking the screen it is impossible to immediately use the fingerprint scanner to unlock the phone.
What is the correct setup to get Widgetlocker unlock the phone.
Expected behavior:
1 The screen is dark
2 Press the Volume key to have the Widgetlocker-Screen visible
3 Swipe the finger [not working]
4 Phone is unlocked [not working]
Currently I have to press the Back button after step 2 to see the Motorola/Atrix Unlock screen (where I can swipe the finger and unlock), which is annoying.
Any ideas? Thanks for any input.
Sounds like you just have conflicting lock screens. I would try lockbot it disables the system lock.

Thanks for your feedback, was checking on the market.
But as far as seen no Vol. Key support - instead I have to shake it (probably as well not the best way in business)...
I use No Lock. This allows me to wake my phone with the volume rocker rather than the power button..which I prefer. If I'm going out and about somewhere I feel like I want the fingerprint scanner on..I simply turn the lock back on.
Even though WidgetLocker doesn't prompt you to swipe your finger it should stil accept it. Can you confirm you're trying this?
I have a beta that improves reliability of using the fingerprint scanner. Let me know by email if you'd like to try the beta.
Hi,
I can confirm that it sometimes works probably after I started the phone.
But later it is not possible (at least for me), so my question was what are the correct settings to get this behaviour. I would like to check - if it's my fault.
If it works - you are right - only swipe and it's unlocked.
But the usual way is that it is not working, so I have no chance I have to press the back button (to get the stock lock screen where swipe is possible).
Thanks for your help.
Need simple 3 different apps..
HOME
RECENT APPS
Screen Wake by shake / multitouch screen & allow to unlock unlock
Objective is not to use physical button as I've bad experience of using button they fail quickly due to mechanical wear, journey started with Nexus One...
Simple app HOME takes to home want to put in quick launch JKay, Screen Wake by shake or screen touch
Currently I use home launcher and select home required. May be someone can use this code & recode.
Also want to put the recentapps application to my quicklaunch.
I thinks its one liner code, can someone please make it available in Market, I'm sure it will go superhit...
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
I would love to turn off the on-screen soft keys. The problem I am having is that I use my fingerprint instead of a password for access to certain apps, like banking.
However, when I try to use the fingerprint to unlock the app what happens is that the screen returns to home, which is what it's technically supposed to do. But this negates being able to unlock an app with the fingerprint and I really do not want to go back to using a long password for this.
Another smaller issue is that when I use the on-screen soft keys both the scanner and the middle (home) soft key do the same thing...they both take you back to the home screen.
I feel that if I am using the on screen soft keys that the fingerprint scanner should ONLY unlock the phone, or a designated app, and conversely if I use the fingerprint scanner exclusively to move through screens and recently opened apps that I should still be able to unlock an app without the scanner taking me back to home and prematurely closing the app.
Am I making sense here?? Anybody find a way to do this?
