OK I did a quick search and it's possible I missed it, but I'm having an issue that's really irritating. Some of my applications, XDA premium for example, I have to press the home button a second time to return home. At first I thought it was me going crazy. I tend to always hit home before hitting power to off the screen. When I'd pull my phone out of my pocket, it would still be in an app when I knew I should have been at my home screen.
I've tested it and I can reproduce it every singalong time. Is this working as intended, maybe a setting I've missed? Is it a TouchWiz issue on 6.0? I'm coming from a note 5 and I've owned every Samsung device so it's either a bug or an annoying feature of the newest software.

Well I created this post now it won't do it at all! Another XDA fix!
Meant to edit not reply to myself!
You should try and reset your phone...
Sounds like some sort of bug. I can't replicate the issue.
I know there are some apps where you have to press the "back" button twice to exit but I've never had to press the "home" button twice.
Ok, so this is a post simply meant to help anyone else who may discover this problem. If you are having the issue, you most likely have the Samsung Good Lock installed. UPDATE IT! Apparently, it was an issue within the app that cause the Home Button bug within the Recent Apps menu and/or any app you returned to via the menu.
I only wish i had paid attention and updated the app before doing a restore. Thats when i noticed that the "home button bug" was fixed in a recent update. O well, you live and you learn.

I recently updated to DJ05 with both Super Clean .9 and Stupid Fast (Whatever the newest is.) A day later,everything is working fine except when I try to longpress to move a shortcut or widget. I receive a small vibration but no ability to move. I'm using Adwlauncher, as well.
Does anyone know what could cause this?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
I have noticed the new adw launcher has an option to lock the desk top. If u press the menu soft key it may say unlock desk top. Just something to try sounds like it may be the cause
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
The latest ADW version kills long press. No idea why, it just does. Switch to LP or Touchwiz and you get the button back. Shortcut apps from the market have no effect. It caused me to buy LP+ and I regret not doing it sooner.
Lastly, this should be in general, not development.
ya if u mean voice search via long press of the search key it is messed up. However there is a work around for this as well. Double press the search key first to open the search then long press it to get to voice search. However in your original post it sounds more like the desktop is locked to me just unlock it and should be good

The desktop was indeed locked. Thank you guys.

Before developoing this app, I am using
1. Nolock
2. Flyscreen
3. lock widget
in order to
1. use any key to turn the phone on
2. use widget to turn off the phone
3. Use flyscreen to prevent the accident tap
However this combination is huge and invenient. So I deciced to develop a very small app (40k in size) it can
1. Use any key to turn on the phone
2. A widget turn phone off
3. A very simple lock screen to prevent accident tap.
Search AnyUnlock in Android Market and enjoy it. If there are any porblems, please report.
i like it!
perhaps you should include an option to enable or disable the 'lock screen to prevent the accidental tap.'

Yes, I will do that in next version.
It didn't work for my N1. I enabled the app, brought me to the 2nd window where I also enabled it and let the phone shut down and nothing, I had to use the power button to turn the screen back on. Back to nolock.
It was the way I installed it, working now but after installing gingerbread the trackball wake no longer wakes the screen, have to use the volume key. Still very effective but like the trackball wake.

Yes, there is a bug. If you don't allow the admin permission in the first time. The program will fail. You can disable it, uninstall it and reinstall to take effect.
I also couldn't pick up on an incoming call... it just went to the screen which shows the enable/disable anylock buttons. I couldn't press home or back. Uninstalled it for now.

I have updated to 1.2 with the option to disable simple lock screen. Also I tried to fix your phone call issue. Hopefully it is working.
OK 1.3 released with fixes to some non-n1 devices.
Works fantastic. After enabling the app I went back into settings and unchecked the lock screen. Now it works just the way I wanted. Thanks for the great app.

Interesting app since my power button is acting up, Thanks.

You can have a try. The power button is quite vunerable for HTC devices. I hope Android would make an official option to power on the device using any keys.
works brilliantly now! thanks.
maybe you should put in the description in the market that no root is required.
and an option to still use the slider when unlocking? that would be my favorite option.
just pressing the track ball brings you to the unlocking screen with the slider.
This is super awesome, thanks for making this!
Curious, what specific activity does the widget call? I would like to be able to shut the screen off using other things (dock swipe up, tasker, custom widget) etc. is it an android acitivity or one that is specific to AnyUnlock?
I tried each of the 4 or 5 activities in AnyUnlock but they didn't work.
Thanks for making this!

Just updated to Gingerbread on N1 and the trackball doesn't wake anymore, but volume button still works.
I can also confirm the trackball doesn't work to wake the screen up, but the volume buttons still do.
Hopefully the trackball wake issue will be resolved for gingerbread.

Yup, I noticed this also with other apps that disable the lockscreen (like Switchpro)
That's too bad.
No Lock too from what another user has stated. There's no way i'm changing from CM7 if there's no possibility of trackball wake!
Does this app just Wake the N1 or does it power ON a device which is powered off ?
I can already wake via the trackball using CM6 , but I need something which will Power it ON as my power button is broken.

I've been experiencing this quite a lot
Surfing the net pressing home button and find the home screen reloads. So bit of a lag which is very annoying, until samsung sort this out with a software update there is a work around. Simply disable s-voice from.settings that's it. I haven't actually experienced screen reload since.
Let me know if this works for you or not.
Try this
Untick under s-voice settings the following:
Launch S Voice
Wake up command
Under application manager go to running select s-voice and stop all services.
Go to all and disable s-voice. This will remove the app from app draw list too, you can also disable chat on app too.
This should stop the app running in the background.
My mate has got this phone has has also experienced this problem a bit as well.
I was just wondering when you say 'disable s voice' do you just mean just disable s voice opening when double pressing the home button? Or is there a setting to actually turn it off?
Yer had same issue, disabled see voice, all good

I would also like to know this. I stopped s voice opening when I double tap home button. That fixed the home button lag, however, I'm still experiencing the ocassional reload of the home screens.
Sent from my GT-I9300T using XDA
Another nice side effect is it makes the phone feel alot snappier because it removes the home button lag.
EDIT: should have refreshed the thread :/ mattyt_491 was faster.. I don't think there is a way to disable it completely (without rooting) I didn't have any reloads since I disabled the double click. Then again I restarted the phone and it usually takes half a day or so to start happening..

Guys don't get frustrated. As per thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694508&page=3, just set the size of dalvik cache to 128MB and everything will be fine. My personal experience, just perform these two extra steps:
1. Use Nova Launcher or Apex, takes less memory
2. Use 2D rendering from developer options, It does not make it slow at all.
3. From developer option, limit background processes to 4. Trust me you will not notice it.
4. And yes, disable S voice after you are done with initial experiment. Its not useful for anything.
And my phone is working snappier as it was when I opened the box. I will update it after few day's use. Running smoothly for 2 days. Today is third.

Why don't I have this problem? I think it's be ause I usually check what's open and close things. You should go into deb settings and have 4 processes max to test if it really is your memory or you just need to reflash.

I'm having the same problem.
Is rooting the phone and making these adjustments the only solution to this issue?
Switching off S-voice did work temporarily, but the problem has returned.
I'm new to andorid having just switched over from the dark side of iOS. Is Samsung likely to fix this in a coming update?
I find it hard to believe they didn't spot this in pre-testing the phone.
Thanks
I don't have this problem too. Strange.

just realized i can't take screenshots using the usual [home button] + [power button] combo (as in, nothing happens). i killed a couple of processes using package disabler pro, but not faceProvider (which i dont even see)
anyone else having this problem, any settings i need to change? just noticed some apps don't like screenshots being taken (e.g. standard chartered's banking app, which makes it difficult to send screenshots to show payment confirmation)
The only way that I could figure out was to use the "palm swipe" across the screen. Go to Settings>Device>Advanced Features>Palm swipe to capture set to "on"
Nothing else worked for me either.

You have to hold down the Home/center button and the power button for 3 seconds.. let me know if it works for you too
banking and protected apps no, you need to have root and xposed frame work and then down load a certain module to disable secure flag for screen shots system wide, then you can screenshot anything.
Palm swiping is much easier and built in.
Works for me, although I prefer the palm swipe to take a screen shot.
You have to hold them both down.
Press and hold them at the same time. If you press and hold one before the other, it might not work.
Palm swipe doesn't seem to work with nova launcher? Anyone else having that problem? Power and home button works though.
I'm also having a similar issue although in my case, when I hold down the buttons simultaneously...it launches "Ok Google" instead of taking a screenshot.
The palm swiping gesture works very inconsistently atm.
Maybe worth noting: I'm using the Samsung Good Lock app.
You ve to hold them on the same time for 2 seconds

My phone has flashed with International Stock Rom no mod.
Palm swipe so hard to use, it doesn't always work.
The Palm Swipe option get turns off couples time, no idea why.
When I turn it on first palm swipe works great, but after that no matter how I try it wouldn't do it.

I think this might be why my Palm Swipe would disable it self.
When I enable it, it would work for 1-2 times.
then how ever I try wouldn't do a screenshot.

With palm swipe set to "on", It is working with nova launcher/Android 8.0 XSG region. Under nova launcher settings you have the options for swipe down or swipe up, maybe conflicting with the palm swipe capture. Try updating your Nova Launcher to the latest version to cope up with the latest OS. This may help.

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
