Ok, first off I know what your gonna say, its key binding... I can assure you its not.
This just happened today, didn't install anything but a contacts+ app last night. When I press the home button in the center, it opens my recents apps. When I press towards the sides, it goes home like its supposed to. I didn't drop my phone at all today or yesterday. This just started about an hour ago. No updates, no nothing.
Any ideas??

Did the home button function normally before installing the contracts+ app? If so I would recommend uninstalling the app until you can figure out if the problem is related to the app or checking the settings within the app to see if any settings are causing a conflict.

Is your home button sticking at all when you press in the middle? Sounds like it may be a bit and causing your press to register as a long press

Well removing it did the trick... but there is no setting in the app at all for the hardware keys....
Do you have any recommendations for a contacts app, by chance?

Sorta feel silly for asking and posting this but its bothering me lol. The dots on the top that show what screen your on when you swipe left or right. Well i thought they faded out when you swiped to a screen and stoped. Mine sre there all the time. Did or do they fade out or am i losing it? I installed a home app and uninstalled because it messed things up. If the dots did fade how can i turn this back on? Also was looking around for away to do a factory reset but cant find where to go? Thanks for the help

This looks like a home app feature. Check the preferences of ur home app. Need not reset phone when tinkering with ur home app can do the trick. If ur home app, does not support it u may have to switch to a different home app that has this feature.
On stock touchwiz forthe captivate the dots do not disappear.
This is my captivate. There are many like it but this one is mine.
Have stock home not using an app. Its what came with phone. Someone doesnt know were i can find where to mess with home options? Thanks

The dots don't disappear for a reason. You can tap on a dot and go directly to that page without having to swipe through them. That's why they remain visible.
You can't make them disappear, no matter how hard you try haha. If your looking for customization I would suggest ADW.launcher or launcherpro. Both are on the market and I really enjoy both. If you have other questions feel free to ask

Just an FYI, if and when and depending on how the Froyo update comes for the Captivate, if you are running a non-stock launcher you may have issues getting the update.

I hate how holding the menu key down doesn't bring up the keyboard on this phone like it did on the n1. Is there a potential fix or workaround for this?
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Can anyone else replicate this. Holding the menu button should pop up the keyboard no matter what you are doing.

Nope, just you. Try a reboot. Maybe Factory Reset after that.

It seems to depend on what you are doing. In Firefox, it works as expected. In the stock launcher or in the browser, you can hold the menu key until you're blue in the face and it won't pop up the keyboard.
Works in cm7!!

Sorry, can't help you there. There are some apps on the Market that take screen shots but I can't recommend any since I never have problems with the built in one.

Try shootme. Its not in the market any more, but i've found the apk before here on xda.

I don't think the previous responders get your question. Some roms do support custom boot animations, there are a few threads on the site that explain how to do this. Feel free to look some up.
I think he wants a button in the shut down menu that will take a screenshot of whatever is under the menu. Haha not sure ...

Similar to what is available in CM7? Don't know how that is integrated, but it would require a decent amount of smali work to get it accomplished.
Obviously the title doesn't say it all. Haha

i know its late bute Drocap2 (probably have to get the apk from a search as it was pulled from the market) will let you have a notification bar trigger, map screenshotting to the search button, and has a shake trigger if that helps

Honestly, it's a timing issue... I used to have a hard time getting shots by holding Back and then hitting Home, but I've gotten MUCH better at it. It's all in the timing of how you do it, the best way i can explain it is to press back and kind of say "one one-thousand" to yourself then tap Home without moving your finger off of Back. You'll here the camera shutter sound and it'll be saved to your SD card in a folder for screen shots.
This is the only way I take my shots and it works fine, provided you've got the timing down (also, I've only used Froyo ROMs).

There are still some things you'll never get a screenshot with. Why not just use one of the screen capture apps like DroCap or Shootme? There are likely hundreds more that do the same thing as well.

I've provided pics but this mysterious buuble keeps appearing at random, at the bottom of the screen yo. its some sort of pull up app drawer. I can't figure out how it keeps popping up or how to tremove it hahaha not trying to be funny anymore! its annoying. gets In the way of the keyboard and whatnot.
this must be a feature of beans ROM, I'm thinking. I dunno tho, a Google search came up with nothing.

Bingo! Tap that bubble and move an app to either the top or bottom of the screen and use two apps at once.

It can be moved around too. It doesn't have to stay on the bottom.

hold back to get rid of it.
it's multiwindows ported from the note2, I find it completely useless and hate it as I use longpress back to kill apps, I can use menu button instead, but i will NEVER use the "feature" on this phone.
it sucks that rom devs are including it in ROMs, I'd much rather not see it at all or just have it as an add-on instead of forcing it on us.
I honestly never feel the need to have 2 apps open taking up half the screen each, I can just do one at a time, but I can see how it could be nice on the note II with the s-pen.
I did order a bunch of cheapy pens that work on the phone its pretty cool, but the multiwindow feature, garbage.
anyone else have an issue where when in dialer and they press the button to go to the number screen they have to press it twice. Everytime I press it, it opens a blank screen and I have to back out then press it again to make the numbers appear. This is between 2 nexus 5's now. My replacement does the same thing. I thought it was a glitch from romming my phone but since google sent me my new one it does it to on stock rooted rom.
Also When I unplug my headset it goes straight to speaker mode and I have to press the button twice to turn it off. Also between 2 phones.
Just want to know if this is an issue for most or just me, and it would be weird its happening with both phones. Thanks
Yes mine does it too. Annoying bug for sure.
