Hello everybody, first of all plz excuse my poor english (I just speak french)
I have made an official Android 4.4.2 update yesterday and I got some weird problems with the Home button (the only physical button) :
- When I double press on it I got S.Voice (everything's ok)
- When I make a long press I got the list of the apps in use (everything's too
BUT
When a make a simple press, nothing happens... except when the phone is locked.
So, I'm sure that's not a hardware problem.
Plz help me because it's very frustrating (I can't go Home window without making a multi-press on Back button.)

Dont know the cause of your problem but you could possibly work around it by reassigning the correct action to the home key by using an app.
For example a launcher like nova, xposed modules like xposed additons or gravity box.

Thx for your response, but the problem is solved, after a full wipe with recovery and root
Yes i can confirm something it weird with the homebutton, once in a while the homebutton does not go to defaut screen when you press it. I thought it had todo something with customisations like xposed framework stuff like gravity box. after a reboot its gone so i'm not really bothered with it.

Since GB, our phone always had the delay when pressing the Home button to return to the homescreen. On GB and ICS to fix this, we had to do some hacking and modding to scripts.
But now on official JB, its even simpler to fix and doesn't require root.
1) Open up the 'Voice Command' app in your app drawer.
2) Hit the menu button, settings.
3) Untick the text box for 'Launch Voice Talk'.
4) Done! Enjoy your Home button without any lag!
Let me know how it goes and whether this has helped.
Cheers,
Oly.
The option was already unticked by default, but the lag was there. So I ticked and unticked it... The lag is gone! Really awesome, big thanks :thumbup:

Cool man!
thanks!
Edit: I have done what ccab said too.
Go to "apps running" and finalize the "voice" processes.
It will close by itself after some time, but a good advice. That's why I first thought it didn't work

There is a small lag that doesn't bother me, but I was just curious if it would improve. I didn't see a difference (at least not enough that I could notice it, anyway). But I made a note for myself about it in case I have a problem at some point in the future...
Wow it works! Thanks
Thanks for that, mine was unticked too, but ticking it and unticking it makes a great difference.
I using Superneat and don't have Voice Commander, what is name of app in /system/app?
Thank you very much, very useful!
Hello,
I already started to solve my problem in the SView-Mod-Thread, but before I spam it with too much off-topic, I created a thread in the right place.
The problem ist self-explaining, since the update to KitKat and UENB ROM, SView is working properly for the genuine SView-Cover. I am using the Spigen S View Cover and this cover has a home button, in detail it has a lay-in in the front cover to push the home button of the phone. On 4.3 it was possible to wake up the device with the home button, also it was possible to activate the torch by pushing the VolUp button. On 4.4 it is neither possible to wake up the device with the homebutton nor activate the torch.
It seems that some users have the possibility to use the buttons, but no one can explain what they did or what the reason is. So anyone, who could give some advice, how it is possible to reactivate the buttons in closed mode?
THanks in advance.

Xposed framework... Allows the use of torch using volume buttons when screen is off.
Not sure if the "home button" is supported by the sview case mod....

My ROM supports the genuine Samsung torch, that is enabled with VolUp, no Mod needed. This Mod doesn't change the behavior of the buttons at all, so there must be another way. And I am looking around for it since a while now, because it annoys me to not be able to use the full functionality of my cover.

Having The same issues with the spigen s-view cover and it is most annoying
+1, did anyone find a solution?
Same problem here. Also Galaxy S4 (not SII as my sig says..) with Spigen Armor View in combination with 4.4.2. Anybody got a olution yet?
It's a pity that Samsung always changes the running system. Maybe some users complained about false wakeups because of pushing the button through the cover. Samsung neverminds about third party accessoires.
We have to encounter, where the hardware button lock is triggered or maybe port the old SView apk to KK. But just too little knowledge about that on my side.

having the same issue. it drives me insane so much so that im debating rolling back to 4.2
This was one thing I noticed straight after I upgraded to KitKat, I have the official s view cover and I used the home button all the time to wake my phone up as it's just easier and I could do it with one hand. Now since Its been disabled I have use lock button which is just a pain in the arse! Also when on a phone call with s view cover closed I have to press the luck button, not big issues but I hate it when things get changed for no reason!

+1 here... Any news for the topoc? Any xposed module, hack, alternatives?
Thx for any advice as missing this function really made 4.4 unusable for me... Would like to downgrade to 4.3 but no way...
I have the samsung galaxy s4 and today i install the 4.4.2 and i have the same issue.
Is there any chance that samsung going to re-enable the home button support for 3rd party sview cases?
Hey all. I have enabled: both s-view xposed modules available and disabled the xuimod module. When I disabled that, my home button worked. Let me know if that works for you.

So is there any solution for NON root mobile phones with 4.4.2?
And does samsung announcement anywhere that it solves this issue at the next update?

Is there any chance to make home button work at 3rd party sview cases to NO ROOT mobiles?
If it can be done how exactly we can do that?

Yes, more detail please. I've tried both sview modules in xposed framework and home button still dead with closed spigen slim armor cover.
Hey
Normally I use Long HomeButton for App Drawer and double Tab for recent apps.
I can't find a good way to use the double tab on home button to show me recent appsmenu.
On dandvs Rom i could use GravityBox + Apex Launcher to manage this but here nothing works.
If I want to use Gravity Box the damn Navigationbar appears although I disable them in GB and PACRom.
The button section in the preferences has no options that are interesting for me
So anyone have an idea or a way to solve this ?
I really like the Rom with so many feature. But I dont want do go back to Dandvs GE Rom because these button thing
Newest PAC Rom

I'm having the same problem. I had it working in 3/05 or 06 (I believe) but it's been ignored in Button Settings since then. Thought it was Xposed or something else conflicting with it, but I'm glad to see someone else reporting the problem as I've exhausted my troubleshooting. Any update on this would be wonderful!

hmmm...if you are talking about PAC 4.4, then use Omniswitch for recent appsmenu...
you need to remember, PAC 4.4 is still on Alpha stage...there a lot more features will be added later....for now they just wanted to give PAC user taste on 4.4 on their beloved devices....
Hi all

What do you mean the hardware button will be safer?? With 2gb ram what s the point to check open apps? It should be used the opposite way...long press to get to task manager, normal touch to get to menu...I ll wait for the other member to show up with the solution hopefully

Well, actually there is a solution since you are rooted: install Xposed framework, then install/check Gravity Box module within the framework menu. Go into the Gravity Box and assign the buttons to your liking, restart the device and voila!

You made me smile again...how could I miss normal samsung function...I''m on Galaxy phones since I9000 (s1)...this recent app button made my life harder on the s5...
Thanks again and again!
For the rest here just a hint...it needs a reboot after framework installation and after Gravity box installation...
Thanks again my friend!
You are very welcome, but you could activate the menu function just holding the recent apps button for 0.3 secs without using any additional apps. Anyways, glad i could help

Hello
my S5 G900F runs great with 14.1. and Smart Launcher. Only the Barmenia APP is not working, but this is a problem of the Barmenia developers.
There is only one annoying system behavior:
A short press in the power button should turn the screen off. It does, sometimes. But quite often it starts the camera app instead. Is this a bug vor a feature? Can I configure it?
Gesendet von meinem SM-G900F mit Tapatalk
there's an option in the ROM that let you activate the camera by pressing the power button twice, maybe your power button is too sensitive, try to disable this option in Settings > Gestures and see if that solves the problem
