I have a Tasker profile for car mode which disables the keyguard when plugged into a USB power source. This is for use when in the car and the phone is in landscape mode. The issue I'm having is whenever I first try to use the navigation bar or pie after unlocking, I have to first press the home button, then phone will first have to toggle back to portrait then snap back to landscape before I can use the navbar/ring/pie. If I press any button/navring/pie before pressing the home button it will do nothing. Does anyone have any idea on how to stop this? It's been a KitKat issue since I got the phone at launch. Never had this issue with ICS/JellyBean using the same profile.

Precursors to behaviour:
-Pin security is set (required by exhange email policy)
-an ap in full screen (such as google clock) stays open past the security timeout
When I close that ap and return to the homescreen and subsequently fast press the power button to lock the screen the following happens:
-Screen goes blank (as it should) BUT...
-Fast press the power button fails to wake the phone
-Long press of the power button does not power off the phone
-Touch buttons light but the phone is otherwise blank/black and unresponsive
Ultimately, a battery pull is required to reboot the phone.
This has happened with both cognition and di11igaf's rom (the one I am currently using) and seems to be 2.2 related as rogers 2.1 only required the pin when powering up and used the slider for sleep.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?
Cheers!
I should also add that using SGS Info to change the "Power" button action in your phone will fix this, but only because it removes the lock screen entirely, negating any security you might want to implement (including the plain swipe option)
Wrong forum category perhaps?
I have a Samsung Focus, when you use the back and home buttons - the phone vibrates. It's kinda annoying
Is it possible for disabling the vibrator for this ?
-Thanks
Hey, I have the same issue with this, its so annoying, could anyone please get back to us?
Thanks

I was able toget into the diagnostic mode:
Samsung Focus Diagnostic Mode : ##634#
*#0842# - Vibrate test menu
But clickking vibrator Off doesnt do anything. Upon exiting, and i hit the back home or search button it still vibrates any help?
I'm using Tasker to disable the key guard when connected to home wifi. Most of the time this works. But quite often after I've connected to wifi and the key guard has been disabled it will become enabled again (usually after I press the "Home" button on the phone).
Have you guys experienced this and is there a way to prevent this from happening?
i have same problem on desire, villainrom 3.3
And if i turn screen off it dissapears ,but after another home button press, it appears again.
Hello,
I just passed to Android 5.0 yesterday and no way to go to mute mode.
Before, when I press down volume, after i had vibrator mode and one press down again and mute mode.
Now, if I'm on vibrator mode and press down volume, no mute anymore .
Thanks.
It's a known issue, (or maybe bug)?
It seems the only way to get into mute mode is by turning volume down to vibrate, then tap volume up one time and... Reboot. After reboot you're in mute mode.

Mute is required!!!
Just press volume up/down and tap "PRIORITY". By default it will be the same as "mute" mode.
In 5.0 the "mute" just became customizable

Except you'll still get notifications in "priority" mode and make noise. I had everything unchecked and some Facebook notification came thru when I was sleeping the other night. If there is some way to disable all notifications (but keeping the alarm) short of killing the internet connection I don't know.
This sucks in Android L. Hope some skilled dev can do something about it.
Or maybe Google will fix it if enough ppl complains: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=79445

Tap a volume button and click "NONE". That will turn off ALL notifications, either indefinitely, or for the period you specify (defaults to 1 hour, but you can increase it by tapping)
[Edit] Oh wait, I just saw that you said "but keeping the alarm". Oh well...
No way there is no soulution for this problem dudez!
Hello All. I just enabled the function to unlock the phone by hard pressing the home button under Settings- Display- Navigation Bar. I find that this only works if your screen timed out and not if you shut the display off with power button on side. Is this working as it should or do you see this as a bug? Personally I think it should unlock with a home button hard press no matter what. Thanks.
Mine goes to unlock every time. Iris/Face Recog or pattern....
I am using no security, just swipe to unlock.
I do think that that is a bug, I'm using the hard press to unlock feature without security too, and the hard press works even after locking the screen manually.
Screen timeout and screen lock have to different settings.
So if you screen times out at 30sec
But the lock kicks in at 1min.
Then your be able to simple press the home button and go right back into the home menu after the 30sec but before the 1min mark.
If you press the power button it normally auto locks.
Meaning you cant press the home button to launch into the home screen.
Now this is all if you have no Security on.
I had the exact same issue as you did after I installed Samsung Oreo Beta Program. Then I found out that for some reason that the option got turned off. So you might want to double check and see if it is still enabled. To do this, do the following two things below:
1. Enable Unlock with Home Button
• Settings
• Display
• Navigation Bar
• Buttons
• Unlock with Home Button
*Then make sure Unlock with Home Button is enabled*
2. Then I would double check your phones Lock Screen & Security by doing the following:
• Settings
• Lock screen and security
• Screen Lock type
*Make sure Swipe is enabled*
Worst 8+ option...
1. Home button on AOD is disabled.
2. Unlock with home button (hard press to unlock) is disabled.
Still, hard press on home button area on lock screen (AOD), unlock the phone?!
Does anyone have a clue how to disable this crappy option?
