Does anyone else have the problem where the recent apps/task switcher doesn't actually show the latest app? It usually does if I back out and then hold the back button again. For example, if I'm in Internet and switch to Messaging then hold Back, Internet doesn't show up in the switcher. If I tap back and then hold back again, it does.
Also, most of the apps don't show actual screenshots. They just show a black square.
This has happened with a couple of different ROMs, but I don't remember if it did it while stock. Is there a fix?
Anyone?
I also had this issue when I was on 4.1, but not on 4.2. I have 3 people in my family who have stock rom and also have this issue. I have been trying to search for a fix, but your post is the only thing that showed up. Have you found a fix yet?

Nothing. Seems to happen on all TW ROMs that I try. I switched to an AOSP 4.2 ROM for a bit, but realized it wouldn't work with my Fitbit and switched back to TW before I noticed whether it was affected.
It has to be a problem with 4.1 because I've always had this problem, even on my gnex when I was running 4.1. When I was on 4.2, it didn't happen once. It's quite annoying, but must have been fixed with 4.2.

Hey everyone, I'm having a weird issue with my GS3 SCH-I535. On any AOSP rom I try (CM10 Unofficial and Official, AOKP) my physical home button doesnt do anything except wake the screen when it's off. It wont return to my launcher. This doesn't happen on touchwiz roms (Synergy, stock).
Any ideas?
Isn't there an option to change hardware key functions? I'm not on CM10 yet. I will be tonight.

I saw an option for changing the long press function and tried that, but even long pressing still doesnt work. the button is completely unreactive except for waking the screen
odd.. I tried flashing another kernel but it didnt support CM10 and wouldnt boot, so i reflashed CM10 without full wipe this time and everything works fine now.
my notification bar was also completely empty and that's fixed as well. maybe it just wasnt flashing correctly before?
either way problem solved

seems like i'm having the same problem. home button only wakes on screen off, also returns to home from notifications and recent apps ... but that's it.
Worked fine on a CM10 nightly 20121004 then flashed the 20121006 and it broke. Reflashed 20121004, and still broke.(just flashed the latest nightly, and still not luck) Tried what seems like all combinations of CM10/Nova Launcher/Trebuchet settings. Tried fixing permissions, wiping cache as well.
It randomly started working again last night, but again stopped working on a reboot.
I feel like this is possibly related; at the same time my Menu (long press) only works when I'm on the Homescreen
I have no legitimate answer to your issue, but on the galaxy players there is a variation in the us/international versions that require a home button/soft key patch built specifically into the kernel. Whether that can point someone to a solution, I don't know...

In case anyone stumbles on this thread;
I seemingly found out how to replicate this on a consistent basis. On reboot, home button will not work (except for above mentioned features)
Using the "Toggle Lock Screen" Notification Drawer Widget once or twice seems to restore complete functionality until next reboot.
I have no idea how/why, but it does seem to work for me.
Current setup:
ROM: RebelROM Senseless Jelly Bean (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2120688)
Kernel: ElementalX 5.2 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2061577)
Note: I don't think this issue is ROM or Kernel specific, as I've noticed it on another ROMs and Kernels (including the stock kernel), but I wanted to mention my setup anyway.
Over the last few weeks, I've noticed the one-and-only time my phone seems to noticeably lag is when pressing the home button to leave an app - sometimes it takes as long as 2 or 3 seconds for my home screen to appear. What is odd is that I don't see that lag if I exit an app using the Back button, it only happens when using the Home button. The type of app doesn't seem to make a difference, either.
Has anyone else noticed this? I swear the lag has only shown up in the last couple of weeks or so, but maybe I'm going crazy and it's always been there.
Re: [Q] Phone lags ONLY when pressing home button
I've used rebelrom with that same setup (and other versions of elemental) for a long time and I have not seen that issue... It is indeed odd though... Have you nandroided and seen if it does it on another sense rom with sense removed? Also, which launcher are you using?

Nova Launcher, though I've also seen it on Action Launcher.
I haven't tried another Senseless ROM, maybe I will when I get the chance.
So, I think I finally figured this out.
It's the weirdest thing, but a couple days ago, I tracked it down to the “List” App Drawer style in Nova Launcher. I can’t explain why this was causing it, except that perhaps I had too many apps installed and it was trying to keep them all in memory or was re-loading that list every time I hit the Home button.
Either way, now that I’m back to the standard “Horizontal” App Drawer style, all appears to be well.
Pretty much every time I flash a JB ROM my infuse is fine for a few days. Sometimes even a week. Perhaps a bit laggy, but I guess that's expected given the outdated hardware.
Then eventually I start getting having these two issues
1) random shut offs - in this case the phone sometimes will not boot unless I pull the battery and put it back in.
2) or an error that reads something like "unfortunately System UI has stopped"
I can press "okay" and then get the error again over and over. I can only get out of it by pulling the battery, or holding the power button down.
I did go back to GB for a while and did not have any of these problems.
All my apps are installed from the play store, not restored from a backup. I do not overclock or undervolt.
I'd simply blame hardware, except I don't seem to have problems with GB.
This has always happened to me as well. I would say that its due to incompatibility with JB. Wasn't so bad on ICS but I found that on JB I would be reflashing after only about 2 weeks because it got so bad.

Try Paranoid Android 4.1.2 pa_infuse4g-2.53-04NOV2012-152548 . I have been using that with no issues except the Video camera being crap (photos just fine though), and you have to toggle wifi on and off to get it working. 4.2.2 roms don't work that well on really any phone I have tried even the Gnex I own had issues. I upgraded from AEON straight to Paranoid Android using their upgrade steps listed on their page. No problems no errors didn't even loose my IMEI.
I have tried the newest 4.2.2 roms from liquid, Cyan, and paranoid android. 4.2.2 roms acted badly for me in general I can't remember if I ever got that exact error. I Keep on wiping and going back to my 4.1.2 PA nandroid backup. I kinda think it might be a general 4.2.2 issue dunno.
Also saw this on the latest Beanstalk out 4-10 (so I think you should stick to 4.1.2 roms which of course don't get updated anymore)
Trouble Alerts/Workarounds:
Status bar/Notification Drawer - There seems to be a bug with the 4.2.2 status bar/notification drawer freezing. It is happening on numerous phones at random and there is not a fix available yet. Workaround - Numerous ways to workaround this issue, but easiest in my opinion is to go to settings - system settings - PIE - Enable/Disable PIE. This restarts systemUI and unfreezes the status bar.
Does anyone know what sh means? Android os is destroying my battery life.

I have had a GS2, GNex, N4 and now a N5 and started having this issue since the nexus 4, can’t remember exactly when it started but I think it was around android 4.3 because I remember hoping that an update to the OS would fix this and when 4.4 came the issue still happened.
The issue is that I use the back button to exit out of apps completely but sometimes and I believe that it is completely random, when I open let’s say whatsapp and I press back to exit out of it, it sometimes opens another app that was on my recent apps list and then exits out of it by itself, this happens even if whatsapp was the only app open, is not like I went from a random app to whatsapp and I was backing out of whatsapp to these other app and this other app just blinks and closes out.
Anybody has this issue?
Here is a video showing the issue: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mU0n0j9LUCw
I get this often. No fix that I'm aware of :/.

Is this an android issue? or could it be our config? can anyone say they do not experience this issue?
I don't recall having this on my nexus 4, and I don't recall having this on my nexus 7. I'll have to pay more attention on my nexus 7 and update of I see it.
Yes, most probably it's a KitKat issue. I'm facing this problem as well and there was a big thread about this issue and there were many people with this problem :cyclops:
I face this problem on stock rom as well as on a custom rom..

oops, must have missed it. thanks for the info
I'm having the exact same issue on my Nexus 5. I happened on my Nexus 4 as well, so definitely an Android issue.
And you are right about it starting when Android 4.3 was released. I have been waiting patiently for a fix for a while now..

I can't believe this problem still exists on Android 5.0!
Anyone noticed how when you press the back button to exit and application too fast, the screen for you recent apps also display before you are taken back to the home screen?
This issues started after 4.4.3
Anybody have any solutions?
It's always been a weird KitKat bug, for me it brings up a random app from somewhere in the recents list that's not even been used for a while. Lol

Yes, not a 4.4.3 specific issue sadly. Was hoping this would have been resolved in the latest update but clearly not. D'oh. I'm completely stock everything, unrooted and it's happened since I bought the phone in February.
Ref: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/help/random-app-pops-button-exit-t2680148
I am completely stock too. I only started noticing it since 4.4.3 - or maybe it was always there.
Its quite irritating. Is google looking at this?
I've seen a dramatic increase since 4.3.3. Doesn't do it all the time but once it starts it seems to keep doing it for a while.
I cleared Cache and Dalvik but didn't make any difference.
Think this happened to me once recently, opened Google Chrome on its own.
Maybe it's not a bug. Returning to a previously used app could be seen as a convenience. Just a thought.

I've never experienced this issue. Why not just press the home button to exit the app?

I can confirm this starting from 4.4.3. It's quite simple to reproduce it for me:
Open Chrome and press the home button.
Open WhatsApp and enter a conversation. Press the back button two times quickly.
This should bring you back to your home screen. Instead it immediately will pop up Chrome for a moment, just to close it automatically afterwards. I press the back button two times in a lot of apps, so this is starting to be really annoying. I'm running everything stock. Has anyone experiencing the issue tried to hard-reset the phone to see if it goes away?
I used to face this on stock rom as well... Ever since I've started using a custom rom (AICP) , the bug has disappeared.

I can confirm it only started coming up since 4.4.3. It did not happen on 4.4.2.

I've tested it myself and I can confirm that a factory reset does not solve this issue.
Confirm, but true only for stock 4.4.3. Fast pressing back button to exit an app will cause opening last active app (f.e. open dialer with messaging app in background, twice-triple tap back and it will close dialer but bring messaging app right from home screen and close it (wut?)). Running custom and there is no such bug.

After applying the 4.4.4 OTA this bug still seems to be present.
