long pressing the home button won't launch google now - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

Hello all,
I am having an issue with my s7 edge. When I long press the home button it won't launch google now (no, I don't mean on tap). Long pressing will just launch the white bubble w/o the google logo and then nothing....it won't take me to google search. Is there a fix?

[Q] Double tapping on the home button

Hey guys,
Is there a way to handle the double tapping of the home button action to be others? Because I want to use this application Quickdesk Pro but S2 does not have a search button where I can long press it to trigger this application. So how do I actually use this application?
Thanks in advance.
search button?
long press menu key?
Yeah.. but long press menu button can't trigger the application itself.
Anyone know about this?

works on KE2
Tried installing it but to no avail. Still unable to use Quickdesk on double tap of the home button.
Anyone know about this issue?

Delay when pressing home button - how to fix.

Since upgrading to a stock Jelly Bean firmware, I noticed that pressing the home button causes a short 1 second delay before it actually does anything. It's enough to be annoying since it slows down returning to the home screen or moving to the default home screen.
The reason for the delay appears to be that it's waiting to see if you're going to make it a double-click. A double click launches the dreaded Vlingo voice control app or Google search dial by voice.
You can remove the delay by installing Advanced Home Button from the play store, and following the "Galaxy S2 hack" instructions within that app.
Now, pressing home instantly takes you to the home screen without the one-second delay.
The downside to this solution is that you lose the double-click functionality on the home button, but most people probably see that as a benefit anyway.
I am not the author of that app, nor do I know how it works or how to reverse it.
Or you can delete both and no more 1sec delay

[Q] Launch Google Now with double press on home button

Is there to replace S Voice with google now when I double press the home button? I searched the forums and found that if I use Nova launcher..is there a another way? Thanks.
Why double press when you can just hold the home button and it will launch Google Now. Just like if you hold the task switcher you will get a menu button.

Yep. Just press and hold home button for Google now. No need to double press

Home Button remapping

Is it possible to change the home button long press function? The button mapping applications I've tried haven't seemed to stop the google assistant from popping up. In particular id like to set a long press of the home button to play/pause my music.

I think maybe you're long pressing the home button? Just tap home, see if that helps..
Na I was tapping once, one tap or long press was bringing it up, but I found a solution, had to uninstall the updates for the Google app and the reupdate it
