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'm using stock Nexus 5, with Nova launcher.

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.

Hi,
Searched the internet but could only find one other writing about the exact same issue that I have.
Has any of you experienced the same? I happens quite often unfortunately...
Quote from this Google forum:
I have a habit of using "Back" button to "exit" from Android applications back to the launcher. Recently, I started noticing a rather peculiar and intermittent behavior associated with "Back" button. Consider the following scenario:
I launch my Out of Milk app using a icon on my launcher screen. The app starts successfully. I do what I wanted to do. And then I hit the "Back" button in order to return back to the launcher screen. The Out of Milk GUI disappears, but it is immediately replaced with Google Earth app splash screen. It is displayed for a very short time (a split second). Then it disappears and I finally return to the launcher screen.
Some other time I launch RealCalc app, do what I wanted to do, and hit the "Back" button. For a split second I get thrown to Contacts app for and only then I return to the launcher.
This seems to happen with all apps. Sometimes, when I hit the "Back" button I even get to see glimpses of two apps instead of one, in sequence, each for the very same short period of time. This behavior is very intermittent. In many cases the "Back" button works as it is supposed to, i.e. it returns me to the launcher screen immediately.
So, what is causing this strange "flashback" behavior?

well, if you don't have any launcher set to default, you can kill it and when you click on back button it goes to random app, but you have the default launcher set, so this is not the problem in your case.
P.S.: I also have Nova Launcher and don't have this problem, so the problem must be somewhere else.

I'm using the default launcher.
It's very random to me, which app is popping up. Mostly it's an app that I've been using within the previous couple of hours...

That's really weird. Do you use any custom ROM/kernel? Do you have Xposed Framework installed? Is your phone rooted?
same thing has been happening to me for a while on probably 5 different roms and I always use the GEL launcher. I cannot for the life of me figure out why it does it.

Stock ROM with Franco kernel. But I think it also happened on Faux kernel, but not 100% sure.
I also just disabled Xposed Framework to be able to run on ART, which didn't change it.

It just don't make sense to me. I am also using Franco kernel, but not with stock ROM. I also have GEL and Nova Launcher installed. I have run out of ideas.
same here, quite annoying, 4.4.2 stock and franco r34
I find this happens when a [bad] app crashes. I can't remember which app I had problems with but until I uninstalled it every time I used the back button to leave it I'd wind up in another app, usually one I had not used in a while.
happened here too... stock launcher, stock kernel, gravity box installed, rooted... about the only changes i've made.
Just a kitkat glitch probably

This same issue happens to me as well, not too often but it does occur. The apps that mostly come up for me are the dialer and gmail. Im running SlimKat 4.4.2 Build 3.6 with Nova Prime set as the default launcher and I actually started experiencing it after seeing several people who brought it up in the SlimKat thread. However, from what all i have read, seen, and been told about it though, it has been happening to people on all different KitKat roms both custom and stock and not just any one thing in particular. Like another person said, i too believe it is just a KitKat bug in general and not something specific as to any one single thing that could be causing it. I would guess that it will be fixed eventually being that many people have been experiencing it and not just a few.

I'm also having this issue. Stock rom/kernel and rooted. Caught it on screen record. Excuse the background noise. Didn't realise it was recording sound. http://youtu.be/sOxzuiFv3xQ
Glad I'm not the only one experiencing this problem. Also sometimes when I'm exiting to the homescreen my icons and widgets take a split second to appear.
The same thing happened on my Skyrocket running 4.4.2 before it kicked the bucket. Figured it was due to running a custom rom but now it's happening on my mostly stock N5.

This is unrelated, it is just redrawing your homescreen.
Haven't had this issue. Are you guys tapping the back button quickly and repeatedly?
I'm having an issue with opening hangouts and the keyboard not inputting anything into the message field. The keyboards responds to keys pressed but nothing shows up.
I have to close Hangouts from Recent Apps and reopen it to get the keyboard to work. Happens quite often but not everytime.
Problem is on a Nexus 5 with 4.4.2. This is my second Nexus 5 so I'm thinking it's a bug in the software but haven't found anyone else with the issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks

or it could be a mod that your using(xposed?), or an app that you have installed interfering. honestly, this is the first ive heard of such an issue. you are using the stock keyboard?

Yup stock keyboard. I can't think of any apps that may be causing the issue other than "Notify Me" I haven't looked deep enough into whether it only happens randomly when swiping from the popup notification or not.
Going to have to pay attention to that.

Same issue here, I found your topic on another forum OP
Stock nexus 5 here.
I've experienced this a few times. Usually I just back out and re-open the message thread and It's fixed.
Good to know I'm not the only one! It's a pretty irritating issue which is about to force me to find a new app for SMS!
So I solved my issue. I was using a notification app called "NotifyMe!"
Since removing it, I haven't had any more keyboard issues.
Yeah, even I face this issue... However, I'm on a custom rom and use SwiftKey.
I face this issue not only in Hangouts but also when I use whatsapp as well.
But it happens rarely so didn't give it much thought..

You can determine if it is a 3rd party app interfering by rebooting your phone into Safe mode. If the problem goes away, you know it's one of your apps such as the OP's "Notify Me" which appears to of been his cause for this issue.
I also had this issue running Swiftkey,switched tinthe aosp keyboard and haven't had an issue with it

I have an annoying issue where the blue anchor thing stops functioning properly when hangouts is in landscape... not sure if this is a common problem or not?
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 :/.

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!
On my rooted stock Nexus 5 with KitKat 4.4.2 after I make a call the last app I used opens up and I have to exit it. My wife has a different phone also with KitKat 4.4.2 and her phone does the same thing. On both phones if I close all recent apps before I make a call this doesn't happen. So I'm thinking this is a bug in KitKat.
Has anyone else experienced this?
Thanks!
Anyone?

Yes you are correct... It seems to be a bug with KitKat.
There are many others that are experiencing similar issues as you are. When they exit the dialer or exit an app using the back button it will open an app from the recent apps menu. Hopefully this will be addressed in a update.
Hello everyone, I wanted to share a problem I am facing when I exit an app..
If I use an app and press the home button to exit it, it works fine.
But after sometime, if some apps are running in background or some I used earlier, If I exit an app by pressing the back, another app which I used long back open itself. It opens and shuts its self.
It gets very irritating at times. Have any of you faced this problem? Do you have a solution?
Well known bug. No solution
