The home screen button, the task manager button and the back button are always at the center on the screen in landscape which is anoying; i was using the official nightly jb rom which has the same problem, now im using the stock jb leak and it has the same problem and the worse is than on the home screen it does not let you use landscape, just portrait. Anyone know how to fix these problems?

Did you check Settings->System->Status bar? (I'm not sure this is present in all JB versions but its there on CM10 on my Nook)
No, there is no system on settings in this rom, im using the leaked stock jelly bean for the gt p3113

Post a picture of your problem , Use the screenshot button to capture a screen shot ( or hold the power button and volume down ) then upload it on here.
Now im able to use my home screen in landscape mode by forcing it with an app but still got the buttons at the center.

I also noticed that the same problem arises also when you long press the home button to get to recent apps, if you have an app open in the background at that moment and you press the home button to get out of the recent app screen, it closes the app!

Yea I know that, just like you can use the power button instead of the home button to wake the device and everything works fine. But it shouldn't be that way and it wasn't on ICS so why change it???

I think if anything the Home button is now working the way it should, taking you Home rather than back from Recents.

It wakes the device but closes open app and redirects to home screen.
If ur running a touchwiz ROM and don't elect to use voice it will do this. Open s voice and select to use home button. Problem solved.

When I press home it just wakes the device up, that's it.
S voice fixed the issue. Is it a battery drain at all because I don't plan on using it?

Thanks gonna try this. I hate waking with home key and it minimizes app that's open.

Problem is, when you re-enable s-voice and assign it to double clicking the home button, it brings back the lag when single clicking the home button and it breaks the custom shortcuts that I've made with the app home2 shortcut...
what are people talking about...the home button does wake the device. Am i missing something?
I have noticed since yesterday's Jelly Bean update (4.1.1) that if you have an app open (say a browser for example) and you let your screen timeout, when you press the home button it will turn the screen on screen up and take you back to your home screen. Used to with ICS it would just turn the screen on and you could continue in the app. Now it takes you all the way back home and you have to re-open the app to continue in it.
I was wondering if everyone is getting this same result or if it is just me.
Thanks!
I just tried it with Google Now and it returned to the app. I tried the Android browser and it returned the app as well. You might want to power down, pull the battery, then restart. Updates can sometimes act a little wonky at first. Occasionally (and unfortunately) a hard reset can FINALLY make an update work correctly.
Fixed this issue on my phone. The solution for me was to set up S-Voice, then go into it's settings and check the 'open via home key' option. After this, pressing the home key once simply wakes up the screen instead of also taking it to the home screen. Hope it works for you too!

Yea, that fixed it. I don't like S-Voice so I had that option turned off. Apparently it works different with this update then it did with ICS.
I've actually went in there and enabled that option then went into Application Management and disabled S-Voice. Now, if I accidently double tap my home button it just goes to a black screen for a second then back to the home screen. (Better than opening up S-Voice)
Thanks for your help!
I've found if you use a pattern password the home button "feature", to go back home works like how it used to
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Nice find! Now my dilemma is, whether the added "lag" when single tapping the home button is not as annoying as being taken to the home screen when pressing the home button after the screen times out. Having the double tap for S-Voice setting disabled speeds up that home button responsiveness.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I find the lag to be to annoying when s-voice is enabled. A fast press of the power button will wake up the phone without closing the app you are using and you can keep s-voice turned off.

grr, I couldnt agree more. I turned off that feature to reduce home button lag in ICS, now it closes any app open. Hopefully theres a fix
We'll find out. I dislike these small, unnecessary changes that Samsung has implemented. Horizontal pinch to expand notifications is another unnecessary change on VRBLK3.

I feel your pain i also suffer from this same problem i had ics stock rom upgraded to hpyer drive rl14 and after that my home button only wakes up to a long press nothing seems to work i even reassigned soft keys functions so home would do back option and same thing,
I will be using my phone then for some reason the buttons will only do long press functions when I just press them normally. Has happened on liquidsmooth and aokp. I just recently restated my phone to return buttons to normal function and then the camera Google plus and play and music force closed and now the gallery is not showing any images... Anyone have a solution for this. Also when I came to aokp rom from liquid smooth I did a restore of apps from titanium if that could be why idk... Thanks

That has been removed. The menu button will appear only if necessary and needed by the app itself. If you don't seem to find the menu button, it might be embedded in the app itself. The menu button on the navigation bar will appear at the left-most corner. A 3 horizontal line with a small triangle.
So it seems like..it has already been removed..and also the screen grab shortcut aswell hmmm anyways thanks for the input though

Any idea how to flip the multitask and back buttons ? Isn't it weird that the back button is now on the right ? Why would Samsung do that ?
My menu button on GT-6210 hardly ever shows up no matter which app I'm using & it's totally random when it decides to show back up (using stock honeycomb.) I got so annoyed by not having it when I needed it so I bought an app called called button survivor from the market. I think it needs root permission but now I can use that to open the menu whenever I need it.

So did they remove quick launch options in the display settings removed on jellybean?
Settings/display/quick launch
I don't have jellybean so I can't check but if they they removed the quick launch option & removed the screenshot shortcut that is very disappointing and makes no sense at all.

It may be a simple issue to fix, but it's annoying that I can't capture my screenshot the power button and volume down combination capture screen. I'm having to go to power menu and selecting screenshot.
Any thoughts as to how I get it back to default?

PA could be using a different method (or keys are remapped when you enable in reboot menu). However it could be an error like Samsung devices have and you need to reboot for it to work (I imagine you've already tried this though)
I'm just saying this just in case because I have come across quite a few people with this issue and they were just doing it wrong.
Power and Volume down at the exact same time. If either are pressed slightly before the other it won't work.
Have you ever been able to elicit the screenshot functionality using the buttons?
If you are rooted use xposed with expansion menu when you press off key only menu Inc screen shot comes up on screen. It's in gravity box and others

Thanks guys. Reboot didn't work and I'm quite aware of how to take a screenshot as I do it often but uninstalling a Xposed module must have fixed.
I was over Xposed with tweaks lol.
