I was wondering if someone can come up with a patch/or code change where when in the text messaging app while viewing someones text, but then hitting the home button takes you back to the main screen but when you re enter your messaging app it doesnt go back to that persons text instead goes back to the main messaging screen. i hate having to hit the back button repeatedly. i will donate 10 dollars for this hack. please someone figure this out for me. all 3rd party apps seem to do this but they are not stable. please help
All you have to do is hut the back once then just press the home button? I mean not that hard I do it all the time

yea i understand that but , im looking for a easier way, so if someone can come up with this , i would greatly appreciate it
Well maybe not exactly what you want but, for one on one txing, you can hold down on home screen when menu pops up(add to home screen) click short cuts> direct message> choose who you wanna direct message.....After this you can message the person you choose then click home button then click the short cut again.you be taken back to that same message you just sent if it's the same person.hope I'm not confusing you.

I'm not sure how it happened but now when I press the home button it sends me to the wrong home screen. Instead of returning me to the center home screen it returns me to the screen to the right of what is supposed to be the center home screen. I can be on the center home screen and hit the home button and it sends me to the one just to the right. Any ideas? It started doing this after I let a friend of mine play with the phone and they have no idea how they did it. I'm downloading the instructions as we speak.
It depends on how many home screens you have. If you have 4 or less, then it always tries to send you to the farthest right one. Its annoying and an android thing, not a galaxy thing.
You have to reset what you want the default home screen to be.

In TouchWiz I don't think there is an option for setting the default home screen (otherwise there wouldn't be a mod for it in which you have to root). I know this topic has been dead for a while, but if there is some way to set the default, that would be great to know. Otherwise I'm sticking with LauncherPro.

Since there is no quit option for browser, there are only two ways to close the browser: back button or home button.
Now here is the problem: if I clicked a link from an app, say twitter, and the link was automatically redirected several times (for example, redirecting to a mobile site). After I finished reading on the browser, it is hard to go back to the original app.
If I clicked back button, it will go back one page and then redirect me again to the webpage. I have to hit back three times quickly.
If I hit the home button, I will be at the home screen...
What is the best solution?
Hold down the home button to bring up a list off recently used apps.

Whilst still in the browser, tap the menu button then tap the windows option. From there you can close any and all browser windows.

This its how you do it. Personally though,i go the quick back button route, so I don't have a bunch of windows open.

You may have done it this way but...
You have to hit the physical search button on the keyboard

Wow, its always the simple things.
Yes, make sure you use the search button on the slide out keyboard, not the one on the bottom right of the screen. That was my problem now it works fine.
Thanks vampire
lol srry for got to say it was on the keyboard my bad

original post by me just so you know and it probably shouldn't be in development but rather General.
Please search before you post or at least skim the topics to save from having lots of double posts, thanks.
For those whose proximity censor is not working and they are on MIUI.
you just cant end a call even if u hit power button the screen doesn't turn on.
Here's a solution for that.
If you aren't using launcher pro then install it. Hit home. Now you'll be in a new launcher.
Long press an empty space on the screen. Choose shortcut >activities >settings >accessibility settings. It will prompt you to choose that as the shortcut and it will be placed on the screen.
Then open that and it will ask you if you want to install some accessibility features (because the rom doesn't come with any) but feel free to say no.
And there you go. Power button to end call. Once you're done you can uninstall lp.
I hope u guyz get help from it. I really had a hard time bcoz of this.
thanks! i tried finding it in settings but i couldnt find it then i came across this
Thanks!!!

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

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.
