Hi,
I am having issues with my "home" button..
It should take me to the homescreen when I press it, but now.. I have to select between "android Home" or "sense UI Home"
I have tried to check the "make default" when this screen comes up, but it does not keep!
Sometimes it goes away.. but only for a few times.
then I have to reselect it again.
Lately, it is almost every time.
I have gone into, the settings>application> Management..
and "cleared default"... then reselected it.. still same thing!!
what is wrong? It is so annoying!
can anyone... point me in the right direction?
Thanks
Factory reset?
anybody seen this before??
maybe this helps
i have seen this on my own hero, but i know now how this happent.
It came from an app from the market that normaly had nothing to do with the home screen, in my case it was a simpsons puzzle game, everytime i play the game my home button "Forgot" my default home app!
it seems that the app is just porly programed.
hope that helps.
i think that this happened right after, i installed "spare parts"
i have uninstalled it.. but it still happens??
This also happened to me after I installed 'Lockbot'.
I uninstalled, and now the default action is saved!
Not sure exactly what the cause is though?
that means.. I have to uninstall all me apps? hate that idea..
wish.. there is a more direct approach..
hhhmmm......
Go into...
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications
Find the entry called HTC Sense and set it as default.
Alternatively, if you want Home as default then find the entry for that instead.
Either way, next time you press the Home key it should work as normal.
this is driving me nutz!!!
Not big deal, but annoying as hell!
I have downloaded from the Market: Home Switcher.
But still have the same issue. "home switcher" also looses the default home (Sense) after a few tries too.

i have this problem aswell. i have the before mentioned simpsons puzzle installed, aswell as spare parts. i used spare parts before and it didn't happen, but it happens even if don't use the simpsons puzzle. i have no idea...
edt: i can provoke this by using long-press home app switcher.

thanks for that hint. for me this is as definitive as it gets: simpsons puzzle installed, forget home on every home long-press. uninstall "ultimate simpsons puzzle" and everything is fine. gonna inform the dev.
i have the same problem as mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=774866&page=2

for those who has no internet and can't do anything.
if you long press home button you can access task manager
ther press search and type settings
system settings will apear.
go to manage applications and clear data or uninstall launcher pro
then when hiting home button you will be prompted to choose home or launcher pro
choose default home and everything is ok.

if i press the home button nothing happens. is there any way to solve my problem (without losing any data?)
a coworker of mine had the same issue today. I'm just reposting the link from another website, since I typically come to xda to find answers to stuff like this... either manually type this into your ANDROID browser, or if you could somehow make it to this page from your phone, just click this link... from your phone lol
market://search?q=pnamerg.adw.launcher
it is the direct adwlauncher link to the android market!
hope this helps! =)

Hi guys,
i brought galaxy i5801 . its just one month old . its running on 2.1 android .
i have few problem like its lag while browsing contacts . while calling i find it slow . also it lag while browsing call log .
what i find that it lag whenever there pic in contacts like i have put some pic of my friend and family in their numbers .
now my question are
1. is it possible that i can me home key as dedicated answer button whenever call is coming . its total pain to use touchscreen while driving car . if i can't find way to make home key as answering button then only option would be left is sell this mobile and buy another mobile has dedicated answering button
2. is it possible to reduce this lag in call log and contacts as well as make this slow moving mobile to perform better
3. Is it possible to get small preview of all homescreen like HTC so that moving from 1st homescreen to 7th homescreen become easy .
thank you,
MasterSquall
Hi..
1. Yes u can use the Home key to answer a call..
Go to settings..call settings..all calls..answering call..check the 2nd box i.e Answering call..
2. It does lag a bit while in contacts and dialer..use a task killer to kill background apps..it decreases the lag..i use Advanced Task killer..u can get it from the market..
3. You can get sense previews but its not possible with the stock launcher..Install adw launcher or launcher pro..i use adw..
Enjoy your galaxy

i tried to use launcher pro but in that contacts don't work . i mean when i click at contacts it say can't find . will try adw launcher .
Try Photo contact app from market. It gives u all the contacts in a scrollabe widget.. Its saves u the time for opening contacts
Sent from my GaLaXy3 using XDA app ...
In launcher pro press n hold the contacts button on the dock.. U will get an option to change shortcut.. Select that n choose contacts from the applications list.. Or else u can simply drag contacts on the dock from the app drawer..

Tried installing it again?
yeap tried re-installing also - still no luck..
I just installed SBP Shell 3D and that works as its meant to - pressing home button brings up choice of it or sony home..
Very odd - Launcher Pro cost me money!
Try Home Switcher maybe.
You need to go into the following..
Settings
Manage applications
Select 'home' app..
Click on clear defaults.
Press home key..
Voila.

Hardly launcherpro's fault - it's behaving perfectly according to the rules.
Sony Ericsson Home is set to the default launcher, so if you want to change launchers you have to clear the defaults for the launcher. You wont get the choice otherwise (which makes sense, you wouldnt want it asking you *every* time you pressed home would you)?
[menu] -> settings -> applications -> manage applications -> all -> Sony Ericsson Home -> Clear Defaults
Now if you press home you get the choice, enabling you to choose a different launcher as default if you like. This is all that apps like Homeswitcher, homesmack etc are doing.
edit: heh, iceman got in there while i was writing this - must type faster!
Ok got it going with Home Switcher app..
Tks

hi there,
1. i notice that since my S5 which had LP installed, on S7e i cant use the menu button for menu actions cause it is always forces the recent app screen, when i use xda app on my S7e i cant seem to reply or add a new message because isted of showing me the menu of the thread if i press menu button it goes to recent or if i try to press a little longer it give me a notice that xda app does not support multy window.
no matter what i try i cant seem to use the button as menu. and i cant seem to find in settings how to turn it off or at least turn of multy window which will probably will help to use menu button as menu.
/ found a solution for that problem....its called multy window toggle for samsung from play store. stops the annoying multy window.
for the google now that keeps popping on home button just need to uninstall google app and force it to factory app and it wont pop by pressing home button.
2. also on my older S5 with LP i had the option to share media with my ADB streamer via nearby devices in the settings menu. once i open the nearby devices i had few option on which file to share and to which device. but now in the S7e i have the nearby devices but i cant seem to share media with my streamer no more, plus i dont see any option to share media except the on off button and small explanation text about the nearby thing.
for this issue i still didnt find any solution.
both S5 and S7e are stock, my S5 is rooted tho.
can anyone enlighten me about this. maybe i just missed something about both issues ?
thanks for helpers
