I've noticed that after pressing the home button and swiping between menues there is a VERY SMALL, yet noticeable lag. Sometimes the clock/weather widget reloads. It was like this out of the box the first day. Then you start swiping between homescreens and its gone and everything is smooth as butter literally.
I saw this in one of the review videos too. Hopefully a software update addresses this. Somewhat annoying as the phone has 2GB of memory.

Same here... Swiping the home screen is smooth but returning to the home screen via the home button causes a 1 second delay...
I have also noticed the clock / weather widget refreshes when returning to home screen from apps at times...
Overall it's not big deal and I am sure it will be fixed in the next update...
yes~!!! this is one of the annoying parts of this phone.
it isn't performance related either. in nova launcher i have it set that pressing home when at the default screen brings up the app drawer. doing so causes the same fraction-of-a-second delay. but pressing the actual app drawer button on the screen is immediate. something in the Android software is causing this delay between button-push and action.
Thought it was just me.
I'm going to root it and flash ultimatum. Hopefully it gets rid of it.

Thanks guys. Glad to see its not just my phone. Its by no means bad, just annoying. The home button needs to be more responsive. Hopefully in a software update. If this is all we have to worry about then I'm good.
Yea. Same goes for me, tried both apex and nova just to test if the lag depends on the launcher. I'm on apex now though, a bit less laggy than nova.

Nova with fancy widgets (sense style clock) and voice disabled not really seeing any lag.
There is a setting you can turn off to fix this home button delay actually.
What you do is
1. Go to apps
2. Find "S-Voice" and open it
3. Hit settings button
4. In settings there is a option for "Launch S Voice" near the top of the settings.
5. Click the box to stop it from launching S-Voice when you hit the home button.
6. Now the home button works very quickly, no more second delay.

The delay is there because if you double tap the home button it brings up SVoice, so it gives a small Window waiting for the second press before going to the home screen.

There is still a lag after unchecking the S Voice launch option. I hope this can be fixed.

If I wanted to be a "talking to your cell phone like its a person" douche I would have bought an iPhone. Keep your dignity and just type in whatever you're trying to do, it will probably take less time then getting the voice recognition to get it right
TW is pretty weak for a launcher though.. I put on my ol' trusty ADW launcher and no lag to be seen there..

The one and only thing I ever use android's voice recognition for -- and you don't even need S-Voice for this -- is setting alarms, because it's quicker than doing it manually and very accurate.
e.g.: "set alarm forty five minutes"
lol, didn't yall watch any reviews on Youtube? They stated there's a slight delay because it's waiting for a second press for S-Voice. I thought everyone knew that.
Not when pressing the home. When swiping through home screens. There is a slight delay. Its Ever so noticeable. More so when having a few widgets on the home screen.

Well, I have 3 home screens so I don't really care. I had 2 on my SGS2.

Do you want an additional 'THREE' customizable homescreens on your Hero? Well, there's an 'app' for that! HA!
First, I'm not sure if doing this has any bugs or inherent problems, and I am not responsible for any problems you may encounter doing this! BUT, I haven't experienced any so far myself.
Anyway, I stumbled onto this by using the Home Switcher app. When I saw how it launched the original Android Home app, that gave me an IDEA.
Using an application called 'Bar Control', I setup a Taskbar ICON to launch the native Android 'Home' application which, if you ask me, 'extends' the Hero with an additional three homescreens. I simply pull down the Taskbar and tap Home to launch the original Android Home app which gives me access to three more homescreens. AND, a simple tap of the Home button takes me back to HTC Sense.
So, I now have TEN (10) homescreens!!!!! These additional native Android homescreens are where I put some Android widgets (non HTC Sense widgets of course). And get this, the two Sprint widgets, NFL Mobile Live and Sprint TV, are available too! The Hero uses the same Wallpaper for both HTC Sense and Home, but it unlocks the native Android wallpaper gallery too.
Steps I did:
1. Downloaded Bar Control from the Market.
2. Launched Bar Control and waited for it to scan all the programs.
3. Scrolled down to the app called, 'Home' and selected it.
4. Selected an ICON of choice. (I used the same home ICON)
5. Pulled down my Notification Bar, tapped 'Home, and WALLA!
Simply hit the Home button to return to HTC Sense.
Note: To get rid of this Home ICON in the Notification Bar, simply perform the first three steps above again which will remove it.
OK, now can anyone tell me of a simple shortcut app that can be set to launch the native Android Home app without having to go through the Taskbar via the Bar Control app in my example above?
So, I believe this is the GREATEST HERO HACK so far!
When two unused screens just aren't enough lol, nice find.
Not really an hack if you ask me... why don't you install a few extra homescreen replacement apps (like openhome) so you'll even have more homescreens
this is not a hack at all. installing apps and using them as intended is as far away from a hack as could be. please change the title, this is so lame...
btw, i would love to have my homescreens scrolling "round", meaning if i swipe screen #7 (the most right one) to the left i want to go to screen #1 (the most left one). anybody know if this is possible?

lol, the same happens when you install any theme app such as open home, dxtop, etc...
What happens is, the default for the home button is cleared of it's default (HTC Sense) giving you the option which home screen you want to fire up after holding down the home button.
You could probably just clear the default yourself in App settings, limiting the need for another app all together.
Downloading a home screen app equals hacking your phone?
give him a Break it was his first post.He was over zealous on his find..LOL
well atleast he let us know about his find.sum peeps probably wouldnt had even shared..thx DaWeav
Yup, just to elaborate on what N0J mentioned:
menu/settings/applications/manage applications/HTC Sense
tap "Clear defaults"
Now, every time you push your "Home" button you will be presented with the options "Home" and "HTC Sense." As long as you don't check the default box you will always have a two-touch access to either interface.
Alternatively, for those that prefer vanilla Android to Sense, check the default box and hit "Home." Your phone will no longer load the Sense UI. This can be reversed by going to Home in manage applications (above) and again clearing defaults.

Dang. I thought this was actually going to be some useful information that could lead me to getting rid of the 4 unused homescreens
This isn't a hack and not much of a discovery but if it makes you happy...
Would be kind of cool if Sense had 10 screens of its own.
nice find! But yes, 7 home screens is a little much. until we find some better widgets.

GDE Home Screen does this
edit: by the way this is a dumb "hack"
I'm assuming this works for vanilla android as well? One of the most annoying things about my Moment that my Hero does is only having 3 screens.
Does anyone know how to REMOVE any of the homescreens from sense?
My hero is so slow!
I really hope that as part of an update to Sense that they make it so you can have any number of screens so long as it's 2X+1. (1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11)
Personally, I only really use 5, so I would just drop the last 2 screens and have the little indicator get a tiny bit larger.
Anyone else try out these slide-out browser quick controls?
I 'love' them. I turned them on a few days after getting the tab and havent looked back.
How about you?
To enable this feature for the stock browser go to settings - labs - quick controls and make sure the box it ticked. Now in the browser, slide in from the side and a wheel of sorts will pop out with all your controls.
Very slick feature.
I have been using them since day one. Love it.
Yes, they're handy once you get the hang of them.
Very nice, thanks for sharing that tip!

Settings in the browser, not general setting on the tablet. Top right corner in the browser.
I think it actually comes enabled by default on the Xoom; needless to say it was refreshing to see when I first started using the tablet. Using the menu in the upper right hand corner is not as user friendly.
The only thing I have noticed is that it is difficult to initiate controls with the acer case, because the edge comes right up to the screen. I usually have to attempt the gesture a couple of times in order for the controls to come up.

I've never had that problem. Simply slide your finger 'into' the screen, from the bezel. Works like a charm every time and I love how it appears at the exact position your finger made the sliding motion into the page, rather than a single static location.
If I had one feature request, it would be 1 more button you could use to hold it as a handle to slide the wheel up or down the side, and tap it to pin it or unpin it.
Heh - didn't even know this existed until I saw this thread. Not sure I like it though - I usually close the last tab to close the browser (since back makes you step through all pages viewed and home would leave it open.)

How do you close the browser with last tab? The tab disappears and browser turns full screen everytime specially when there's only one tab left. I find it hard to bring the tab to appear again.

You can actually just do a long press on the webpage and it will bring up the tabs at the top, then you can close them.

That's how I do it right now, but sometimes it selects the text for copy/paste instead of displaying the tab. You really have to find an empty spot on the browser page to make it work. Adding a new tab and closing, then closing the last tab requires a really fast finger to catch the last tab. Sometimes I'm slow to click on the last tab and it just hides again. How I wish the default browser has an option to exit, similar to Dolphin browser.
Why the desire to have an exit, to hide the porn your surfing?
Keeping the browser in memory is useful, because that is alot of what I use this thing for.

To get to a quick voice search on GN I have to:
Press the power button
Slide finger from bottom of screen to activate GN
Click the microphone button.
With iPhone's Siri, I just press and hold the centre button.
Is there a way I can get to GN quicker?
A shortcut key? volume rocker? or something?

Yes, it does, as I pointed out in my OP.
But I want something quicker...
You're assuming every time you want to use Google Now your GN is locked. So let's assume the iPhone is also locked.
1. Press power button/wake phone.
2. Tap home button.
3. Continue holding button until it 'beeps'.
4. Speak.
5. Wait approx. 3 times the load time of Google Now for an answer (on a good day).
The iPhone clearly has a longer, more ineffective process.
So now let's be a little more realistic. Let's assume that your phone is already awake and all you need to do if within an app is to simple press your home button.
With the Galaxy Nexus you have that nice big Google Search bar on the top of every home screen. Use that widget. The microphone icon on that widget (to the far right) takes you directly into the voice search function. With one click. Use it .
If that's still not good enough, root your phone. Its a Nexus. Then you can have so many more options.
Swipe up for the voice search, hold home button for voice search, lock screen Short cut, there are SO MANY options with AOSP based ROMs especially. Root your phone.

You just press the home button for 2 secs and Siri starts with a beep. This works when the phone is off.
This is useful - as this approach doesn't require you to look at the device, you can do it blind [driving], simply adjust the phone in your hand, and press the only button on the front, then start talking. Eyes stay on the TV/Road/Steak.
I'm not saying that Siri is better than GN. In fact, in some basic tests GN is far far far better and faster! I love it.
I just wish I could get to it quicker than currently, as quick as I can with Siri.

Hotword is US only unfortunately - Thought I'd throw in the [UK] tag in the thread title in case anyone thought about hotword

I had a similar problem, but if you change your default language to English (US) google hot words should show up when you try and use it next time.
The only issue i noticed with this is, is that you had an american dictionary whilst using your keyboards.
So i noticed there are many users coming from a galaxy device, and there are i think more features than most of us know when it comes to this device, everyone just post a tip you think someone might now know:
I'll start with mine: If you click and hold the multitask button, it will bring down the settings menu, this can be used pretty much anywhere, even in the homescreen.
Also if you open an app using qslide you can move the app all the way to the left edge of the screen and it will turn into a button which can be pressed and brought up at anytime.
good post this, keep them coming !
U can slide the Qslide to either edge. Works same ways for both the sides.
Good and keep the new tricks rolling..
ok, so here is mine:
you can use pinch gesture on multitasking window or in gallery view to resize thumbnails (make bigger or smaller).
Pretty nice

Hey guys, just a heads up...I'm trying to get used to this Note Edge (from Note 3). One thing I didn't like immediately was the power button on top, but here's a fix. Add the app called "Screen Off and Lock"... Next, edit one of your edge screens to add the lock button icon (as seen in picture below). Now you have a side lock button again. It works slick!

hahaha we think alike! I did the same thing. One of the first things I installed was Fix Broken Power Button. I had this on my GS3 because the power button was broken and constantly turning the phone off. I cracked the phone open and scraped the button off completely off. I installed this to send the phone to standby. Crappy part was when I needed to turn the phone on after swapping out a battery I couldn't. I had to plug into a power source then hold vol down and the home button in order to power the phone up. So without a usb and a power source, I was out of luck. Oh well.. got a new phone now so no more of dealing with that!

Good use of the Edge screen. Another FYI: f anyone has Nova Prime launcher you can use Screen Off and Lock with it. Under Gestures and Buttons, then choose double tap for screen off. I don't know if it will work with Nova Free. I had purchased the launcher long before i had use for the double tap. Still waiting for a double tap for screen on like the LG G3. :fingers-crossed:
We are currently working on making a multi power feature for the edge screen. Swipe or knock to turn on/off, because it is killing me not to have a feature like this for that edge panel!
That's actually a pretty handy tip. I like the animations, as well. Back when I had my HTC Evo 4G rooted, I used the TV turn-off animation. Pretty neat to have that back.
Yep, no problem guys! As soon as I figured it out I knew I had to post it ASAP. It was the my biggest complaint turned into a handy feature! (being able to move the power button up or down on the edge screen to a comfortable spot)
