Some of you might have noticed a small amount of lag when you press the homekey. I certainly did, especially coming back to Touchwiz form AOSP based ROMs. Well don't worry, theres a easy way to fix it!
The problem is S-Voice. Notice when you double tap your home button S-Voice will open. Thats where the Lag comes from. The Note II is looking for a second press on the homekey. So sadly, if you still use this feature then im afraid your stuck Sorry, but for those that don't your in luck!
Its simple, open S-Voice and go to -
> Menu (For those of you that don't know how to do this, or are maybe a little stupid, press the menu button - left of the homekey. If you still handle it, I recommend returning your device for a calculator)
> Settings
> Un-tick the 'Open via the home key' option
> ...
> WIN.
Please remember to click the thanks button!
Sorry if someone has already made a thread about this. Couldn't see one anyway.
People that use Go Launcher don't use the home key so much.
We use the one thing I love with Go. We just strike the thumb up.

I think this is common knowledge in Samsung phones by now. There's something to note...
There's a side effect to to turning off that option:
If you disable "open via home button", then the phone will kick you to the home screen when you press the home button to turn the screen on (before it gets locked.)
In other words,
Say you're reading something, the screen times out and turns off (but not locked yet), you press the home button to turn the screen on again, you are taken to the home screen.
It's an unfortunate side-effect, but seems unavoidable (save for using a different launcher).
So if you press the home button, you are taken to the home screen?
Who knew!!

Read my post again and try to understand it before you make fun.
Here ill explain again in layman's terms:
*With the open via home button option ticked:
Scenario : when the screen turns off, you press the home button to turn it on, the screen turns on and you're still in the same app where you left off.
*With the open via home button unticked:
Scenario: when the screen turns off, you press the home button to turn it on, the screen turns on and you are kicked from the app you were in back to the home screen.
That's not how it's supposed to work. If the screen turns off, pressing the home button should only turn it on without kicking you back to the home screen.

I see what you mean. I apologise if you thought I was making fun I was not ... Anyway that could be seen as a good and bad thing. The home button is meant to go to ... well home so that does make sense really. It would be nice to have a option for this actually.

Sorry bro, mine doesn't work that way. With the open via home unticked, mine just wakes it up. If I'm in gmail, lock the screen, then hit home to wake it up, I still end up right back in gmail.
All these things are already known guys.
..It does take you to home screen
So you should use the power button to wake up screen. . You will go back to where you were before the screen locked

Thanks for that I'm using Nova and mine goes back to home screen, using power button works but isn't as convenient....at least not for an ex iphone user hehe trying to weigh up whether I prefer power button wake up or no lag!

You still don't get it of course the problem doesn't happen if you lock the screen. It only happens if the screen times out automatically by itself and you wake it up before it goes into lock mode.

Best option for me is to disable the option to get rid of the home button lag, then increase time out to something like 1min,so the screen doesn't time out a lot and the problem gets too annoying.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
This is great thank you for finding this it was getting really annoying lagging all the time :good:
Holy crap I totally forgot note 2 had that s voice. Lol
Jokes aside in rather content with the lag as long as it didn't bring me to home screen when I wake it up sleep though

Or you can just set the screen lock time to immediately =)

Then you'd have to unlock the phone every time the screen times out, which is equally as annoying, more so if you have a pin set up to unlock
I can't believe people still use the home button at all, with apps like "swipe pad" where one action takes you from the screen you are on to the app you want.
Set one pad as your launcher if you need homescreen.
Fill the horrid home button with glue for all i care.

Samsung GT-I9500 with soft version 4.2.2 and baseband I9500XXUAMDE.
It does not work the opportunity to enter into dowland mode. Despite holding more than 4 seconds. three buttons the screen is still black and does not respond.
Is there another way?

When you turn off the phone
press volume down
then home
then power
in that order.
It makes it easier.
Do not try pressing them all at the same time.

It does on mine. (on all my Android devices, actually.) I can simply take the phone away from my ear, press home and end up on my homescreen, with the call minimised to the notification bar, regardless of call mode.
It makes no sense for Samsung/Android to disable it, because this is a device aimed at a business market, and most would use headphones and need to check their calendar/mail during call.
But I am using Apex, perhaps it is a Touchwiz issue?

I noticed that in the dark, when I press home button, before screen turns on captivate buttons flicker and then screen turns on, is it all Note4 problem or just mine ?
*button lights are turned off
Guys...
Just tested it and it doesn't seem to happen on my Note.
When pressing the home button they turn on briefly and go off again on timeout.
This was tested in the dark, and could not see the buttons flicker.
Perhaps it would help if you posted some specs?
Model: SM-N910F Android version: 4.4.4
Kind regards, Stefan.
