Home Button Lag!!

This is driving me nuts! I know Samsung implemented it to check for the voice input, but is there any way to disable the voice input so pressing the home button gives us an instant action?

I doubt it's due to the voice input function. It's bugging me too:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=15011538#post15011538

This isn't about the wake from lock screen. It's about the home button not responding instantly when the device is awake.
Every time I hit the home button while navigating/apps it always pauses for a sec before acting.
This is such an unnecessary speed bump on an otherwise speedy device.

I just removed voice input using Titanium Backup. I don't need it.

What's the name of the apk? I did freeze one voice commands but that didn't do much...

After a fresh restart the home button does have a delay but not intolerable. After using the phone for a few hours (more like a day) the home button reaction times gradually increase to a point of slowdown and irritation. A restart fixes it again.
Anyone else noticed this?

connect a charger... home button lag gone.
diconnect charger, wait 2 seconds lag gone
re-lock, wait ten seconds or more, lag is back
welcome to Deep Sleep mode (hibernate mode.)

I've been running launcher pro since yesterday and the home button hasn't slowed down as it usually would with Touchwiz.
So it seems as though touch Wiz is the culprit from my initial testing. Will use it for a couple days more and see how it goes

Home screen reloading issue - fix

I've been experiencing this quite a lot
Surfing the net pressing home button and find the home screen reloads. So bit of a lag which is very annoying, until samsung sort this out with a software update there is a work around. Simply disable s-voice from.settings that's it. I haven't actually experienced screen reload since.
Let me know if this works for you or not.
Try this
Untick under s-voice settings the following:
Launch S Voice
Wake up command
Under application manager go to running select s-voice and stop all services.
Go to all and disable s-voice. This will remove the app from app draw list too, you can also disable chat on app too.
This should stop the app running in the background.

My mate has got this phone has has also experienced this problem a bit as well.
I was just wondering when you say 'disable s voice' do you just mean just disable s voice opening when double pressing the home button? Or is there a setting to actually turn it off?

Yer had same issue, disabled see voice, all good

I would also like to know this. I stopped s voice opening when I double tap home button. That fixed the home button lag, however, I'm still experiencing the ocassional reload of the home screens.
Sent from my GT-I9300T using XDA

Another nice side effect is it makes the phone feel alot snappier because it removes the home button lag.
EDIT: should have refreshed the thread :/ mattyt_491 was faster.. I don't think there is a way to disable it completely (without rooting) I didn't have any reloads since I disabled the double click. Then again I restarted the phone and it usually takes half a day or so to start happening..

Guys don't get frustrated. As per thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694508&page=3, just set the size of dalvik cache to 128MB and everything will be fine. My personal experience, just perform these two extra steps:
1. Use Nova Launcher or Apex, takes less memory
2. Use 2D rendering from developer options, It does not make it slow at all.
3. From developer option, limit background processes to 4. Trust me you will not notice it.
4. And yes, disable S voice after you are done with initial experiment. Its not useful for anything.
And my phone is working snappier as it was when I opened the box. I will update it after few day's use. Running smoothly for 2 days. Today is third.

Why don't I have this problem? I think it's be ause I usually check what's open and close things. You should go into deb settings and have 4 processes max to test if it really is your memory or you just need to reflash.

I'm having the same problem.
Is rooting the phone and making these adjustments the only solution to this issue?
Switching off S-voice did work temporarily, but the problem has returned.
I'm new to andorid having just switched over from the dark side of iOS. Is Samsung likely to fix this in a coming update?
I find it hard to believe they didn't spot this in pre-testing the phone.
Thanks

I don't have this problem too. Strange.

[Q] Application Defaults Reset

Hey guys,
Whenever I restart my phone (or turn it on), a dialog pops up asking me to select my default launcher. I select it and press always.
The next time I turn on my phone, the same popup appears even though I selected always.
How come the defaults aren't sticking?
Thanks in advance.

More information may be needed...
Are you rooted or not? If rooted, what ROM are you running?
Also helpful; Does this happen for all app defaults or just the launcher and if just the launcher, which one are you trying to make default?

Do a test... Get nova or apex... See if they stick... Then you'll know if its a launcher issue... Whether or not they get saved to the launcher or the ROM...

I assume it does that just to trigger the voice functionality, since its the sound you get when starting a voice search with Google Now Launcher.

I have the same problem and I hope Omnirom team fix this, for example they can add an option in the settings to disable that sound. As soon as they release new version, I will update apk and flashable zip files.

Working on Xperia SP with SLIMKat (I assume it works on cm11 too) and I have the google now sound when I press the home button but isn't it meant to be that way?

Yes it does keep listening but I assume your phone isn't on the launcher all day and the stock google now launcher does this too and I didn't see many battery drain problems on that

I've a problem. Using this laucher on PA4.3b7 i can't change the multimedia volume, when i press the volume button the volume slider is grey and untouchable (in in app/games too, if this launcher is in use). Now i'm on Nova and all is ok.

Yes, But as you are not on the launcher all time, it's not significant. I have about 2-3 percent more battery usage per day after installing this launcher.

Definitely yes, If you enable hotword detection on "Google Now Launcher" and "Omnirom launcher" you will have more battery and RAM usage, but as you are not in the launcher all day, It's not significant. I think trading 2-3 percent battery and 5-10MB RAM with hotword detection feature is a good deal.

That was normal on the 05/28 build of Omni. Not sure if it was supposed to do that but it did.

works perfectly
works in xsp carbon rom 15
fc in fxp 320

Tried it on my Note II CM11 based Rom.
Would not install as APK but of course was able to flash. However it sort of hangs. I can select the Launcher 3 from settings but then it just stays there. No Home actually comes up. It just hangs. Have to go back to settings and change to Google Home and everything works. Not sure why.

Been having this issue since I got it. None of the updates have resolved it. 9.0.7 hasn't been as bad as 9.0.6 was, but it still happens at least once a day. Haven't updated to 9.0.10 yet. This is my only real gripe I have with this device so far.

I have mine set to tap once on screen to wake up. Sometimes I get this where I need to press power button to wake up.

I have checked with both single tap and double tap, both of them aren't perfect. Miss mostly when phone is idle for too long. Have to use power button in those cases.

I have had the same issue on both 9.0.7 and beta 1. Sometimes tapping the screen does nothing. The phone does not wake up and i have to got the power button (I have it set on single tap to wake).
I suspect it could have something to do with pocket mode.

I have the same problem. Disabling pocket mode did not resolve the problem.
