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

Not so much a bug as a real doh! moment.
Froyo for the Galaxy S lets you take Screenshots
Problem is the keystroke is Back key and Home button.
Anyone got any tips for preventing the back button from taking you back as soon as you touch it? I managed to take a screenshot of one app but now all I get is screenshots of my home page as the back buttons quits the app.
It's a pain when the phone locks up sometimes, mostly in when cycling through my emails. I try clicking the home button to get back to the homescreen, but the back button seems to be stuck 'on', so I end up taking loads of screenshots of my emails!
I was in a queue the other day and it happened, and the camera 'shutter' sound kept going off. People thought I was taking photos of them!
I'm hoping someone finds a way to change the keystrokes. Whoever chose the back key and the home key just hasn't mastered joined-up-thinking yet.

Maybe you have not mastered pressing two buttons at the same time.
it's not about pressing the two buttons at the same time, screen capture happens only if you press the back button first, holding on and pressing the home key.
Quite. The back button always takes you back, which in most programs is to one of the home pages.
I have discovered Screen Shot It, which seems to be the only one that works on non-rooted phones.

When I hold down the back button it doesn't go back. Maybe just a bug in the specific firmware you're using.
It only goes back for me if I tap it.

THIS. I tried reproducing the problem in various applications (and even the lock screen). As long as you don't release the Back button before you press Home, it always takes a screen-shot instead of going back or triggering the Home button action.
Conceivably, an application might be able to map the 'on-hold' event for the Back key for something else, but at least I haven't come across any app like that (well, maybe ScummVM - but I don't have that installed right now).
It does appear to be hit'n'miss depending on what application you are in. From many it works as described, but I just tried in the game "Scrambled Net" and hitting the back button and keeping it down still takes me back. Will be keeping ShootMe for now as a backup, though I prefer its use of "shake" to peform the shot.
I have been holding the back button. Results are varied. Just tried it in Tapatalk. When in a thread pressing and holding the back button takes you back to the threads screen. Then you can take a screenshot. Accuweather worked for me once but the back button always takes me back to the home screen.
Screenshot it works on unrooted Samsung Galaxy S with Froyo (i9000M)
Woot!
The correct method to take a screen shot it to hold the back button then press the home key. When I have seen people failing to take screen shots it's because they have been trying to press the buttons at the same time.

Some apps take you back before you release the button.
I don't know if its me or if my Atrix has a bug or something. But anyways I rooted my phone a couple days ago and everything seemed fine. I installed launcherpro plus today, set it up and that also ran fine.
Well I decided to go back to the stock launcher and now when I hit the home button nothing happens. I open the app drawer, press the home button nothing happens. I go to the desktop, go through the screens and press the home button so that I can be taken back to the home screen and nothing happens. I feel the heptic feedback but the screen goes nowhere. However the double tap to open a certain app still works.
Is there something im doing wrong or do the home button not take you to the home screen?
*Update* it must be working correctly. I opened apps, pressed the home button and it exited me out of the app. I don't know, but for some reason I was thinking that once you press the home button it will also take you back to the homescteen. But oh well...

Yeah that's what i downloaded and that's what what was causing the issues.
If you download moto home fix from the market and install it, the home button on the bottom of the phone doesn't work correctly if you go back to the stock "home" launcher. If you open the app drawer and press the home button nothing happens. If you went to one of the other screens and pressed the home button to be taken back.to the home screen, nothing happens. However if you uninstall the moto home fix then the button works correctly.

Is anyone having issues with the home button? I will tap the home button to go to the home screen, but instead, it will take me to the recent apps menu about half the time. This is getting really annoying, and I'd like to get it fixed.
Does anyone else have this issue/know how to fix it? Is this a software or hardware issue?

Sounds like a mix of software / user issue to me.
I was doing the same thing so try this and see if it feels better.

With default settings a quick tap will bring you home after about 1.5 seconds
holding it brings up your recent apps, it sounds like you're holding it for the 1.5 seconds as you're expecting a delay for it to go to the home screen and its causing it to open up recent apps.
To remove this 1.5 second delay double tap home quickly and open up S-Voice, when S-Voice opens hit your menu button and turn off the double tap home to open, then close the app.
Now when you hit home there will be no delay as the system doesn't pause to wait for a second tap to open up s-voice and it just goes home. it also means you won't feel the need to hold it until it goes home inadvertently causing you to open up multitasking instead.
Hi all,
My phone rebooted and I lost all custom settings (like text size, custom ringtone etc.), while retaining other apps data. This was simple to repair
Problem is, since then my "Home" button doesn't execute launcher anymore. If I long-press, it shows tasks list, so the button is working, but short press does.. nothing.
I installed Home2 Shortcut - doesn't work either.
Cleared TouchWiz settings - no change
Cleared "Application preferences" - no change
Installed Nova Launcher - works fine, but won't return to home screen on "Home" press.
I guess some simple setting got corrupted, but I've no idea where to look for that. I'd rather not reflash the phone just because of this one button, but it's quite nice to be able to go to Home screen
Any advice?
Try this:
1. Long-press home button and select the "cheese"
2. Go to the last tab called "Clear default Settings"
3. You will have there something called: TouchWiz Home. Clear it.
4. Go back to the start screen and long-press home button again.

Thanks for suggestion, but I already tried that. Home button still doesn't react to short press.
Actually, it does react to short press - when I want to wake up the phone. But it doesn't run launcher.
I have exactly the same problem. Button physically works fine will click to show lock screen when off , double press for s voice ( when on ) and hold for task manager. it just wont single press to actually go home..grrrrrrrr

Yeah, I figure a reset/reflash will do, but it's another couple hours (which I don't have ) to restore everything after that
I got the same problem
I was planning to upgrade firmware anyway though
I recently bought the T-Mobile variant of the OnePlus 6t and I was watching a video about some features that could be turned on and one of the features they were talking about was a long press the power button to activate Google Assistant when I go into settings and go to the button and gestures tab there is no option to turn on the long press for Google Assistant the only option there is a double tap for camera.? Is this something that was removed from the T-Mobile version only and if so does anyone know a way to get that feature back or even an app to add the feature?
I was wondering about this also.

Supposedly it's coming in an update.
Already well covered here. It's not there yet. Some say it will supposedly come with one of the updates. I haven't seen anything officially stating that. So take it for what it's worth. There are plenty of ways to launch it though, gestures, long press the home button if you have one, or just set up "Hey Google".

Not on the T-Mobile version.
It only has options for long press/double press of home, recent, back buttons. Not for power button.
Which means if you do the guestures only navbar option, there's no button press for assistant.
Unless you install the app and just put a shortcut on the home screen.

Sorry I missed long press power, had home on my brain
But long press home brings up Google Search Assistant - same as if you said "OK Google"
That's the default that I see and get from following PapaMag's suggestion - granted its not the power button but if you are looking for search Google search assistant - its there

Well the whole reason you would use the power button is if you used only gestures and had no nav bar.
It is also missing a huge feature called quick launch. It for whatever reason is missing from the T-Mobile variant and without going through the troubles of flashing to stock can anyone help or find a solution as to how to reenable it?
