So I was searching for the greater part of the last month, how to fix the home button lag issues.
And while disabling the double tap and long press questionably helps the situation, it doesn't actually fix the root cause: Oneplus' shoddy coding.
The issue is the Oneplus launcher. Simple fix is to download Google's Google now launcher from the app store. You could also use another ROM, but then you lose the fingerprint reader/laser focusing.
Bonus for you, if you have Xposed installed is that with Xposed GEL you can modify many of the launchers settings to your liking ... As long as Google doesn't break the GEL developers' app.
Hope this helps some of you. I'm now very happy with how this Oneplus two runs. And although we shouldn't have to do this out of the box, it's not too hard if you put in the effort and patience (plus you'll learn a thing or two about your phone).
Here's my configuration: Oxygen OS 2.1.1, Boeffla beta5 hotplug 2-4 & 0-4, Google now launcher, Xposed with Gravitybox.
I have been on Nova launcher from day one, and not a single hint of lag on the home button.
I loved to get rid of the this bug, but I really like oxygens shelf. In fact, it's the only thing that isn't crappy about their rom. Any chance to get this oder something similar with another launcher?
I have tried nova and action launcher sometimes my home button just stops working for sometime even the fingerprint scanner stops working.. I had to reflash 2.1 zip! And finally it my home button was back and then yesterday suddenly my home button again stopped working and I was pretty much frustrated abt this issue so I just removed the screen protector and it worked and even my fingerprint scanner suddenly became more awesome as it was just 80-85 % before.. now it's 99%.. I don't wanna return my phone as I heard it is some problem with the one plus fingerprint drivers.. And even few of 'em who got their phones on October had the same problem returned for replacement but they got the model manufactured from August.. So i think it's really not hardware it's a software issue!

Google launcher is very similar to oxygen. You may not even be able to tell the difference ... And shelf is just recent apps (which GNL has in the app drawer) and recent callers list ... Which is in the recent callers list ...
you can fix lag in every buttom only if you disable function for double touch and large touch
Google Launcher jsut updated this morning. Give it a try. Also disable the double-tap function on home button.
Also using the screen bar buttons solve the problem. Releasing a phone with this kind of problems is a scam.

what?
fwiw, i don't seem to have any "lag" when the long press and double press is disabled.
But of course there is a lag when they are enabled. the phone HAS to have some way of realizing that you're not going to press it a 2nd time, or that you're not going to hold it down. how else is it supposed to do that? go to the home screen IMMEDIATELY and therefore not giving you enough time to press the button a 2nd time ?
lol use your brains people
oh and before anyone says.... i've used many roms on many phones which utilise the "double tap" and "hold home button" for different functions. every one of them has had a slight lag before it goes to the home screen. i dare say that you're remembering thing with rose tinted glasses if you're adamant that this phone is worse than those at this.

With double tap disabled it also has lag with Oxygen default launcher. If you design something with lag by default, it is a really bad design. Try any nexus device (even nexus 4 is faster) or the OPT with cyanogenmod and you will see what speed is.
what? i don't think you understand what i wrote.
Nova launcher is the solution, still my best purchase from play store...
Hi Guys,
I have the same problem. I bought my OP2 during open sale, and i received a phone from the 06/08/15 batch. I have also a home button which is not very "responsive", but i think it's a hardware problem due with th metal frame. When I use a case, i don't have this pb and the home button is very responsive ( as it should be).
DO you guys experience the same?
I'm using Catapult Launcher. It's a fork of Trebuchet Launcher from Cyanogenmod. Works pretty good ... no laggs.

So, I double checked, and several reviews out on the webs noted the ability to use the camera button to activate the camera (even while locked?) and start taking pictures instantly without the need to use the power button. Since unboxing and setting up my phone I have been unable to duplicate this, and I must say it was a feature I was strongly looking forward to.
Anyone attempted this and have success? Is there an option somewhere to enable the ability to do this?
Thanks in advance! Happy unboxing day!

From what I read, you have to unlock it first. D:
If you have the camera on the shortcuts bar then sliding that to the unlock circle will bring up the camera. To access the gallery or home screen it will require you to unlock(face, pattern, pin, ect..)
backedc4 is right, if you have it on the lock screen shortcuts, just slide it open directly. anything else will require an unlock first.
from whatever you are doing with it once unlocked though, just long-press the camera button (all the way down) and it'll bring up the camera.
---
i thought it would be a gimmicky thing, but that long camera-button press rapid-shot photo capture is freaking awesome. i dont know how i ever took decent pictures before!!
Yeah, I knew about that, but I am sad to find out that the claims reviewed online are not holding true. Namely "For starters, that dedicated button lets you access the camera functionality with the phone switched off." (http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/04/htc-evo-4g-lte-preview-video/)
However, upon further research Cnet had the issue as well (http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/htc-evo-4g-lte/4505-6452_7-35182267.html) so it would appear moot. Blah! This is most certainly a feature I would like to show up in rooted versions tho, hah
Are we talking screen or security lock here? I'd say if you have a security lock you would not want to be able to bypass it for the camera. Once in the camera all of the photos you have taken are visible. As for screen lock I agree you should be able to bypass it.
hey, it does that if you take off locking
I remember tech blogs complaining about the amount of time they had to hold down the button to activate the camera, but I like it. I find myself accidentally pressing it a bit whenever I try to stretch my right hand up the screen. If it activated on every little press, that'd be really annoying. I haven't gotten to open from the lockscreen though (I have a pattern unlock)... But I don't mind that at all either.

Thanks for the tip. Now I can get into the camera app from where ever I'm at by just holding down the camera button for a few seconds. I love having a dedicated camera button.
I saw it in the reviews, too. Also I saw another thread where it's mentioned. Have you guys tried (while screen off/locked) just holding the button down for about 5sec?

Yeah, no go sadly. It's not that big of an issue to use the shortcut bar from the lockscreen, it really only adds a slight extra motion / time frame, but hey, I had to ask to see if anyone knew different!
I was able to access the camera via the dedicated button while the screen was locked for the first day or two, but at some point it has ceased to work. I have gone through every settings menu I could find to see if I made a change somewhere but have yet to find a reason. It was an awesome feature and I want it back.
I've also noticed various small things different from the first day or two, and I haven't rooted or made significant changes. I get the gut feeling this thing is getting secret silent background updates from either htc or sprint. not happy and worried about rooting because of ths...

Hi everyone!!
5 days ago i bough a new galaxy s 3.
This is great device everything is perfect except one thing, the touchwiz 4.
Every time than I close an application it take some time (about 5-10 seconds) than everything comes back. So I decided to do an experiment. I downloaded Go launcher, made him default launcher and until now zero seconds of delay.
Am I the only one who expects that issue??
thanks all
touchwiz is just fine and fast enough. Is it faster compared to go, apex launcher and others? Definitely no but the for the functionality touchwiz gives it is fast on sgs3.

that's strange, because i am very upset from the reaction of the touch wiz. I only have him 5 days.
I will give you an example.
I play "where's my water" for example and that i press the home button it exits the game but it shows me only background picture and after 5 seconds everything comes back but that i go to app tray it shows nothing for about 10 seconds and everything comes back.
IT's very very annoying.

You can disable S-Voice on Home Button double click -> increases Home Button reaction dramatically.
(Double Click Home Button - S-Voice opens, then hit the menu button, options, disable)
That was the first thing that I've done
That's for the home button lag, to fix the redraw set dalvik.vm.heapsize=256m to 192m at /system/build.prop.
You need to be rooted and have a root explorer that mounts system rw though.

It's not just that.
The overall responsivness is slow compared to a up2date Galaxy Nexus.
But seriously, that was expected. It's still touchwiz.
I'm sure there will be a solution in future. ;-)
Tnx guys.
You helped me.
What kind of root you suggest me to do?

What's bothersome to me is once the phone is in sleep mode and u click the home or power button it takes sometimes 1 sec or 2 or even 3 secs and if you immediately try to scroll unlock the animation on the water is slowed as well. I didn't expect the phone to be slower to wake up then my N900 or LG O3D. Hope next update fixes this issue. BTW i've uninstalled s-voice and disabled any power saving features.
The slow lock-screen problem is linked to an apparent feature that Samsung have made to save battery, basically it puts the other cores to sleep for battery savings.
I've had my Z2 for a day, and before I bought it I read a review that measured phone reaction time between when the screen was clicked and when the phone started to react and it was DOG SLOW. Now I'm definitely experiencing the same. I mean there is noticeable lag when clicking something (like the Home button for example) and when the phone actually starts to take action. Is this normal? Is this just due to Sony's Android Customization?
Really?!! My experience is exactly opposite. I think the phone's touchscreen is too sensitive.
So I usually type wrong... ( Maybe it's my personal problem)

Yeah the problem isn't sensitivity, it's responsiveness. The screen sensitivity is fine, it's just that the time it take between when I click the Home button and the point at which the Z2 actually STARTS to close my current app and bring me to the home screen seems WAY too long to me. Not sure if the review I read and my experience is normal or is the reviewer and I both have phones with issues.
I see... I misunderstood your words~~
Did u upgrade the firmware ? OR the problem had existed from the beginning?
Coz it's seldom that a new phone has such...lag
My phone did update when I started it for the first time, but I don't know how it was before the update since it was brand new.

Maybe its the default animation of the default launcher. Personally I don't seem to have this problem, when I press the home button it goes straight to the homescreen, there is no delay but I don't use the default launcher.
Go into developer options and turn animations off, maybe this might help you
Settings>About phone>Build number, keep clicking it until you unlock developer mode

My z2 sometimes lags too, not much, but I can feel it,
How about a backup and a hard reset then? It helps to that most at-times.
Definitely more sluggish than the HTC One M8 and iPhone 5s. It isn't as bad as the Galaxy S5 though.
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Its far from sluggish, and the speed at which home button reacts to your press isnt really a deciding factor in phones performance..
Thanks for the responses everyone. I did a factory reset and it did help a bit. I guess the phone just isn't as fast and responsive as others on the market. It's a far cry from the Nexus 5 and the HTC M8, but I'm sure that over time I'll either get used to it or flash a custom rom on it.
The Z2 isnt as slugish as people have mentioned
I can play almost all games around -40-60fps
If you cant acheieve this and have no lag at all lag through home or navigating apps, your unit is probably defective

This has nothing to do with gaming performance. I can play all games without any stutter, but as soon as the home button is hit or the recent apps button is hit, it will hesitate before opening or going to the homescreen. It's not "defective", something is just making the phone sluggish.
OP, I removed the small apps launcher from the recent apps panel and it seems to be a bit faster, though still not instant.
Ya, it is not about playing games, it is these little things, like home key, camera app, setting manual, recent app key.....
the z2 is a bit slow and lags compares to other flagships. It is not too bad, but the lags are there. It doesn't happen all the time.
If you are coming from dual core phones you will not notice it, however if you are coming from M8 or S5, you will notice it.
Hopefully the next update will fix this.
No phone is perfect, overall I am very happy with the z2, except the audio......:crying: I will get used to it.
If you need to speed up the phones response try altering the 'Drawing modes' for Window animation, transition animation and animator duration scales.
To do this you first need to activate Developer mode.
Go to Settings/About phone and at the very bottom of the list tap on Build number eight times.
This will bring up a small warning informing you Developer mode is now active.
Next, go back to Settings and you will notice in between Printing and About phone you now have 'Developer options' available.
Tap on Developer options and scroll down to the 'Drawing' section.
Where it says:-
Window animation scale
Transition animation scale
Animator duration scale
Change these three settings from 1x to .5x
You should now notice your phone is much snappier and responsive.

Hi all
I'm very satisfied with my S6 Edge (925F) but I'm facing a weird problem: when I unlock the phone using my fingerprint(s), it works perfectly but sometimes it's not the home screen which is displayed, but another random app, (i.e Facebook, Settings, News Republic or other...)
I have to press the back button to return to the home screen...
Anyone having the same problem? (not a big deal but...)
Started to happen to me as well a couple of days back. It's strange because it never happened before and I didn't change anything on the phone.
Never happened to me so far. Are you sure you weren't already in that app when you locked your device? The fingerprint unlocks into the last open app. Go back to home before locking.
Another possibility is that you are tapping a notification before unlocking. Say you have a notification from FB and you tap on it. The screen will stay locked, but it will open the FB app. Unlocking with fingerprints will then show FB open. Same can happen for email, texts, etc. You can also pull down the status bar and tap settings, then when you unlock, settings will be open.

It happens randomly, either I'm in an app or not (and if so, it's not necesseraly the one I was on!)
Quite mysterious...
I was using Nova Launcher (maybe the cause), will give 2-3 days Touchwiz a chance, and will report back...
Hey guys,
same problem for me. It is not dependant of the unlock method (i'm experiencing it with finger print or regular unlock).
I think it is a Nova launcher bug, only occur with nova for me.

I think so...unfortunately...
I think it's the latest nova launcher beta version that causes the issue.
I'm using Nova since I got the phone, a month ago, haven't experienced this.
I have been having this problem too and was about to start a new thread. I am using Nova too, though I did try installing the google now launcher and seemed to have the same problem. I suppose Nova simply being installed may cause the problem.
I will try uninstalling Nova and use TouchWiz for a bit. Not sure how long I will last, I think I prefer the random apps to Touchwiz.
How did the rest of you get on after switching away from Nova?
I have been experiencing this issue as well but ive been using the nokia Z-launcher. I have a feeling it might also be my fingers inadvertently touching the curved portion of the screen when i hold it.
I have the same thing happen to me. I thought I was going insane. The worst part is, I'm on a note 3 and I'm using touchwiz lollipop. I'm 100% sure no applications are running before I lock the phone, and when I use the pattern unlock, whatever application shortcut that was on the screen when I lock the phone, a random app from that screen will run when I unlock the phone. It doesnt happen all the time, but it happens at least a couple times a day.
Reason
Hey guys. I am using Nova Launcher too. And I have the same problem. I don't have the sollution, but I found the reason. ? When you lock your S6, the touchscreen stays for a second active. And if you hit an app in that second it will open when you unlock your S6.
Sorry for my bad English, I hope someone can do something with this information.

I think that has nothing to do with it. It could be true that it reduces it, but the only reason it would do that is because:
Mostly when you lock your S6 your fingers touch the side of the screen.
When you set margin to "Medium" or "Big" and you lock your phone, your fingers wil most likely touch no app on the side of your desktop, because the margin "pushes" them to the middle of the screen.
I haven't found a solution. Still waiting for an update to fix it.

Yep, it is finally fixed! Cheers!
Still happening in the latest Nova... running in Oppo phone.
First of all, thanks to @xtermmin for pointing me in the right direction for this.
Steps to increase touch sensitivity and get DTTW functioning better:
Download Shortcut Master Lite
Hit the ellipsis at the top right and click App Explorer (Yes to the error)
Tap anywhere to get the loading circle to go away and find something called Force Touch
In the Force Touch menu, select ZteLCDPressureSettings and hit Launch
Here you will find some options.
Tap Pressure Sensitivity and move the red dot slider all the way to the left where the green "Light" is.
Back out of the menu and you are done.
There are some other things under features that may be of interest as well to some people.
Additionally, there are a couple other items in the Force Touch menu that could play a role in ROMs down the line. The "Press Image" option has a toggle within that item but it does not stick upon backing out and reentering the menu.
If you find anything else of interest, please let everyone know so we can make this the best phone we've ever owned.
Thanks!
Awesome, T2W works better now.... Thanks

There are some other things under features that may be of interest as well to some people.
Additionally, there are a couple other items in the Force Touch menu that could play a role in ROMs down the line. The "Press Image" option has a toggle within that item but it does not stick upon backing out and reentering the menu.
If you find anything else of interest, please let everyone know so we can make this the best phone we've ever owned.
Thanks!

This definitely helped! Kinda odd that there is a slight delay from when you double tap and when it actually wakes. I remember the LG G2 responding more quickly with this feature. Also miss the double tap to lock screen too that almost no other phone had (though with nova launcher and an app, you can do this). Regardless, I'm glad the functionality is there.
What's interesting about this little hack is that it clearly is using the force touch settings that will be found in the 6GB RAM model that has a force touch display. Funny how it remains in the ROM anyway, just tucked away since this model doesn't use force touch.
Can I remove the vibration when I use the double tap to wake?
This has made 0 difference for me. I've got a 64gb US variant. I've also noticed double tap to wake stops working when the phone is in Doze. Anyone else have this issue?
Same same with doze, but when my phone isn't deeply asleep this tip indeed increased touch sensitivity.

Did you know this app is also present on the a2017u usa version?
But it is not doing anything...

Is there a setting to disable the vibration with double tap to wake?
I've tried the mod but don't see any differences for better response for the double tap to wake.

I don't have anything like force touch in quick shortmaster app or shortcut master lite. I'm on european B03 update... Can anyone confirm this?

It's actually there as been always and with B02 software version.
Do hard reset if not see it
Something get wrong with upgrade in your case.

It's there by default on the US model, at least.
While this definitely improves DT2W functionality, it's still temperamental. I find that now it responds best to very light touches, but harder taps are ignored. If I tweak it to be less sensitive, it does exactly that: it requires a harder touch at all times. Why can't it just respond to a range of touches? My G3 worked just fine in this regard.

Totally agree with this. It's still very inconsistent, but mine does work if I slam it twice as well as tap it lightly twice. It doesnt always work and it's still delayed. This was sort of a bandaid for a bigger problem though. I hope CM, and ....probably nothing else? at this point...can address it further.

At EU version I don't see any option for vibration so far.
But totally agree I would like to be more response to a range of touch.
I remember when had LG flex 2 was better implementation than ZTE.
Hope future update improve that.

Quite honestly, the Axon 7's story is perpetually: "[insert company here] did a better job of implementing [insert feature here]". There is very little (if anything) that the Axon 7 does better than the big manufacturers, IMO. It does a passable (sometimes even decent) job of most things, though - and at an appreciable discount - which is why I still have mine. It's a budget flagship. It's high-trim Toyota versus a Lexus. Add to that the potential for improvements via software (which is the source of many of my complaints, really), and I think it's a solid buy with quirks I'm willing to live with for a little while as ZTE steps up and makes improvements.
Yep exactly from hardware point is very very capable device but from software although it's pretty good level but there's still staff for many improvements.
Axon 7 is my first Chinese smartphone from Chinese company until now and I'm quite pleased with the all package offering having it 5-6 days,but I would like to see from ZTE much more effort and listening the user base and bring as much improvement and tweaks to the software.

I notice no difference in the week that I used this tweak. So I just put this settings back. Yup, still no difference to me.
