If using touch wiz, hit menu-->edit and make sure you have your desired page set ad your home screen.

Thank you...it is set to correct one...I just noticed that what ever screen I'm on when I launch something that's where it goes back to. For example if I'm on the screen to the left of home screen and I hit a bookmark...it takes me to that book mark...but from there if I hit home it takes me back to the screen where the bookmark was not the home screen...but if I hit home button again then it goes to home screen. Is that by design...or is there a need for a fix. Thanks

Running the standard Touchwiz interface when you press the home button it takes you to pane number 1.
Is it possible to change it so it takes you to pane number 4 so you can scroll both ways from the home page as on the HTC Desire?

Don't know on TouchWiz, but Launcher Pro can definitely do this.
Thanks for that, if I get no where with Touchwiz I'll give Launcher Pro a go.
I'm too interested for TouchWiz middle panel being the home.
The home button takes me to home screen #3 out of the five home screens I have. I'm not quite sure how I set it that way. I was using ADW launcher a few days before but now I've changed back to TouchWiz.
If its any help, home screen #3 for me has the most icons and a digital clock app.
EDIT: OK I think I got it. Scroll to the home page u want as default. Tap the options button and press edit. Tap in the middle of the home screen you want (I'm not sure if this does anything) and then press the home button. It should now default to that screen. If it doesn't work, try it a few more times. Careful though, if you press the home button again while on the your custom default screen, it will automatically default to the first screen again.
I've just given this a go and I can't get it to work, it just carries on going to page 1.
Why not just move your favorite page to page one using the edit function?

Because if you have the middle page as the default you can get to any page in a maximum of 3 swipes whereas it could take up to 6 with page 1 as default.
It's only a little thing but one that would speed up use of the phone when moving between tabs.

But you can always press the bubbles - circles at the top to go directly to the screen you want!

Yes you can but as they're at the top of the screen I find I have problems stretching to them when using the phone one handed.

That's strange, it works fine for me.

Nope, I tried it a few times, and it doesn't work. It'll take me to page 4 for example when I press the home button, but press it again, and it'll take me to page 1.
This doesn't work for me either!

Its supposed to do that. Why would you press the home button again, when you're already at your main home screen?

If it's the same for the other guys as me then it goes to the correctly selected page only for the first time.
If you navigate to another page first then press the home button it still goes to page 1.
Ahh, I see now, and yeah it does the same for me. Doesn't seem like there's anyway to truly set the default homescreen.
Oh btw, the method I outlined previously is actually all BS . I just figured out that the home button takes you back to the homescreen you were last on.
I don't know if its me or if my Atrix has a bug or something. But anyways I rooted my phone a couple days ago and everything seemed fine. I installed launcherpro plus today, set it up and that also ran fine.
Well I decided to go back to the stock launcher and now when I hit the home button nothing happens. I open the app drawer, press the home button nothing happens. I go to the desktop, go through the screens and press the home button so that I can be taken back to the home screen and nothing happens. I feel the heptic feedback but the screen goes nowhere. However the double tap to open a certain app still works.
Is there something im doing wrong or do the home button not take you to the home screen?
*Update* it must be working correctly. I opened apps, pressed the home button and it exited me out of the app. I don't know, but for some reason I was thinking that once you press the home button it will also take you back to the homescteen. But oh well...

Yeah that's what i downloaded and that's what what was causing the issues.
If you download moto home fix from the market and install it, the home button on the bottom of the phone doesn't work correctly if you go back to the stock "home" launcher. If you open the app drawer and press the home button nothing happens. If you went to one of the other screens and pressed the home button to be taken back.to the home screen, nothing happens. However if you uninstall the moto home fix then the button works correctly.

What i did is firstly download moto home fix.But it can only make u choose the luncher for one time. Then download home switcher.Now if you open home switcher and push the clear default butten,you can set your home launcher again.
Hope it can help u.
Not sure what I changed, but when I click the home button it doesn't return to home screen. I've set long press of home button to screenshot, and that still works, but nothing I've tried will return the clicking of the home button to do default action.
Any help or suggestions would be great.

I have a Nexus 10 2014 with updated android 4.4.2. How to add book marks to home screen? Long press on link on bookmark page doesn't give an option to add to home screen and long press on home screen only allows wall paper choice.
Thanks, John.
I use nova launcher so I'm sure it varies between launchers. For me though its long press home screen, shortcuts, bookmarks, but haven't used a stock launcher in a long time so yeah...

In Chrome, open the bookmarked website, then 3dot menu (top right) and select "Add to home screen"

I have a galaxy tab 2 and just bought a galaxy tab 4 (mainly for mirroring). I hate using the push button on the 4 to get to my home screen. Is there a launcher or some work around where I can find a way not to have to push a button to get to my home screen? An improvement, but not an ideal one, would be to be able to put the home icon permanently in what I will call the "double box" screen to the left of the start button.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
JD
You could use nova launcher to help remap the three buttons at the bottom and it also has a setting to use custom gestures along with twin finger swiping. Somehow mine is set that if I swipe downward it goes directly to home screen. It is a really adaptive launcher with a lot if customizing I haven't unlocked yet..lol

Root your tablet and install SOFTKEY ENABLER from Play Store!

Thanks to K and M for the suggestions. It turns out that I found a great product called button savior that does everything I want with the home button. Now I need to find a way to move Google Search from the bottom to the top of my screen, and I will be completely happy.
