As much as I love this phone, the most bloody annoying thing, for me is the home button, I seem to press it while txting and general use so many times it drives me mad!!!:silly:
can the time delay on the home button be changed in the settings somewhere??
I have the same problem (while typing this, its happen again).
Its very frustrating and makes me mad.

Use swype or any other alternative keyboards, u can change the size of the buttons and it's location
Made possible by my sexy LG Optimus 4X HD (P880)
im glad im not the only one who has the problem lol, tried other keyboards, but the space bar is still above home, if i root it, is there a setting to make it delay a fraction??
Home button does not annoy me. I rarely hit it when typing. The most annoying thing for me is that this phone heats up quickly. I got sweaty hands..
I have the same problem too
Sorry about my bad English

Hello i just bought the phone and i noticed the following when i tap the device even if the phone is off i can feel the vibrating device spinning.
Is this common for all devices or is there a problem with mine?

Well, no, it's not normal!
Can you explain in more details?
Yes, when i tap the phone or i shake it, it's like the phone vibrates. I mean it's like forcing the vibrator to spin...

As a friend said, it's like there is a spring moving inside the device...
Change the "vibration intensity" setting and see if that helps at all...
Settings->sound->vibration intensity (bottom choice)

It's not about the vibration settings. It happens even if the phone is switched off
If I tap my device, I can hear a very, very small noise--something a bit more than the noise it would make from just the tap itself. This, I presume, would be the reverberation from my tap, caused by the vibration mechanism.
If you tap your device and can then feel your device vibrating, I would suggest taking it back. If it's enough to notice, it's probably not right. Although common sense should work wonders for diagnosing this problem (or lack thereof).
I also presume that it's a reverbation from the vibration mechanism. But I it's enough to notice. It's a bit less noticable than the real vibration...
Your phone is defective get it changed from samsung!

It was like that on mine too, but after a few weeks of usage, such vibrations disappeared.
I sent the phone back. I could feel the vibration with the phone inside the box and wrapped...
I can feel mine too. It's not as strong as a real vibration but oticeable, like a feedback.
Does your vibration work?
I think too that it is normal. When bored, I keep taping on my sgs just to feel this small vibration and although I keep doing it perhaps too often, vibration still works ok.

totally normal, it vibrates a sec when you turn it off
when cycling between the homescreen, when we start cycling the home screen and not remove the finger from screen but drag finger down to the capacitive buttons area, home screen can still be cycled. this also works when scrolling the apps. Can this be used by devs for any thing.?

For what?
What I have noticed. Is somehow when I'm messing about I end up hiding the dock, I've got no idea how to get it back. Last night I hid it 4 times and only managed to get it back once without restarting the phone.

You should give GO Launcher a try. It wipes the floor with ADW
Ive had a look at it, but got to admit im pretty happy with how my phones is set up now. Got it looking how i like it. The only thing that annoys me that jet black status bar. Id like it transparent but i dont believe thats possible unless i get a new theme or ROM.

Nice find
So far I'm diggin the HD, coming from the RAZR it's pretty similar. I'm a tiny bit annoyed by the sensitivity on screen, though... When trying to scroll, it keeps selecting instead of starting my scroll. In Play, when scrolling through my apps it selects when I'm trying to scroll. That's only annoying because Play doesn't keep your progress when scrolling through your list of apps (and mine is a LONG one). Even here in XDA, it keeps trying to thank or quote people I don't want to thank or quote... Lol.
Hopefully an update will come to fix it, or we'll get root and roms soon!
I took the red pill... It's the mAtrix for me...

I sometimes have this issue as well. Sometimes even keyboard gets stuck and over types. Both swift and stock.

Well i kinda have similar problem but not with screen sensitivity but with keyboard!! Sometimes i kinda fell i press wrong key more often than i would like!!! Dont knw if its problem with me or onscreen keyboard!!
Sent from my MB886 using xda premium
The screen seems a little INsensitive, so when I swipe my finger lightly it doesn't register as movement and thinks I tapped instead. Other times, I tap something and it doesn't register until I press harder.
I have a pretty thick screen protector. It seemed to have helped with the screen sensitivity issue.
It like to think you are taping instead of pressing and swiping. It tries to register the swipe as a finger lift for some reason.
anyways, I'm fine with my screen, and as I've said the thick screen protector kinda helps.
Seem to be having real issues at the moment with a lack of response from these buttons. Don't remember the phone being like it when I first got it in fact it seemed very responsive. I find now I am having to press the back button several times or even kind of having to slide my finger over the button to get it to resister. I can recall a previous phone of mine having a very similar issue, think it was the Sony erricson satio but really did spoil the operation of the phone.
Anyone else experience this?

Operation of the dock shortcuts is fine as is the sensitivity of the home screen, even with the screen protector on, it's just the back and home button.
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
There has been a few threads on this, seems like a common issue. However theyre apparently looking at a software update to improve sensitivity- https://twitter.com/htc_uk/status/319748247075819520
I can confirm it... Is that a software problem?

I'm having the same issue, which is starting to annoy me. Not sure whether these things get worse or not, but as my wife's hasn't got the same issue, I'm not sure it's software??!! Should we be asking for the phone to be changed???
Is there supposed to be vibration when pressing the soft keys? I'm not getting any vibration and it would go some way towards helping me with the responsiveness of the buttons.

This is a software issue in the kernel.. HTC or the XDA developers should have no issues fixing it

Agreed. It's more the lack of feedback that makes them difficult to use. I have the feeling that they are sensitive enough. The problem is that there is no feedback. You just don't know where the tap is registered.

Vibrations can be enabled through settings.
I have to use my thumb to use them, they don't register my finger at all, just so annoying, I would rather a home button like the GS2.

I have it set in "Settings" -> "Sound" -> "Vibrate on touch" but I still dont get any vibrate on soft key press.
Vibrations for the capacitive buttons are turned off if you have the power saver on, regardless if you've turned vibrations on via settings.
For some reason I'm getting a much better response from the Back and Home keys when I use nova launcher as opposed to the stock sense launcher.

Ah thank you, it's working for me now.
Had my S5 since launch day so I'm pretty comfortable with the overall feel and navigation of the device (came from a Note 3, miss the size but I'll get over it)...however, I do have some issues with the phone and if you know any trick to eliminate these issues or if you at least know what causes these issues, please let me know..these issues taint an otherwise great experience compared to my S4 last year.
1. Serious lag when pressing power button, home button, or opening up S-View cover to wake screen...literally takes 4-6 seconds to come on
2. When streaming a video, phone randomly turns screen off, meaning I have to press that power button again, confirm my fingerprint again, and press play...again...
3. Lock screen and S-View weather doesn't update if you don't have the Accuweather widget on your homescreen
4. Is it just me, or is the word recognition of the Samsung keyboard when using swype motions worse than its ever been?
5. recent apps takes about 2 seconds to come up after pressing the button
Other than that, I'm pleasantly surprised at battery life, never had wifi speeds like this before, screen looks great, S-View cover is still the sh*t, my fingerprint scanner works flawlessly, camera is really impressive, navigation has virtually no lag at all, and thank you Samsung for Private Mode...no more garbage Gallery Lock applications...
Sounds like you've got a bad device, I've got no lag at all, including when opening the s-view case. Might want to switch it out for another while you can.

1. Serious lag when pressing power button, home button, or opening up S-View cover to wake screen...literally takes 4-6 seconds to come on
no lag at all here, smooth and fast, pry the first time I've ever used a stock Android device that's this smooth and fast out of the box.
edit: not sure of s-view cover as I don't use it, I use a Khomo Slim on my Tab3 8.0 and it's pretty quick waking up, just checked and it's like a second or so to wake up.
2. When streaming a video, phone randomly turns screen off, meaning I have to press that power button again, confirm my fingerprint again, and press play...again...
no issues here either
3. Lock screen and S-View weather doesn't update if you don't have the Accuweather widget on your homescreen
not sure as I'm using GoLauncher Prime and loose the Sammy widget, trying to find another good one as I have Beautiful Widgets Pro from before but haven't installed after seeing all the complaints about it now on newer devices
4. Is it just me, or is the word recognition of the Samsung keyboard when using swype motions worse than its ever been?
no problem here either, was fine for me on stock keyboard, switched to swiftkey though since I own it
5. recent apps takes about 2 seconds to come up after pressing the button
again no issue here, pretty much instant for me

Ah, the patented power button and home button lag. I remember them well from my Note 3. Samsung fanboys will try to tell you that it doesn't happen, but they are in denial. The Note 3 was the fastest Samsung device I have owned and it still did it. And the power button lag drove me mad.
Only issue i seemed to be having is that the display doesn't seem to be flush so I'm collecting dust on the top already.

No lag here and certainly no 2 second delay for recent apps. But then again, I'm sure it's just because I'm a Samsung fanboy who's in denial.

Every time there's some kind of reported lag/delay for a device, there are always a handful of people with the device (thus invested in it and in need of validation for their purchase) who insist that the lag doesn't exist, even when every single review and blog site confirms it.
I wouldn't say that the multitasking lag is 2 seconds, but it's definitely there. It was mentioned in a few professional reviews and I confirmed it myself on a display unit. It's not a horrendous delay, but it's definitely not as instantaneous as it is on other phones. It may be that it's waiting to confirm that the button isn't being held for the secondary function (menu), which is the perils of using one button for multiple functions.
On my Note 3, sometimes the power button would work as expected and other times, you'd push it and it would be a full 2-3 seconds before the device would turn on/off. Even after I disabled every single service I didn't need/want, it persisted. I would love to think that Samsung eliminated all of these little delays, but the reality is that they need to rewrite Touchwiz from the ground up and optimize it.

Fanboy my a$$, also have an iPhone 5 and 5S. I have no lag with multi or home, maybe a split fraction of a second just like my iPhone (just as responsive as them) , guess I'll have to get a vid to prove it
If the split second is considered lag, then our iPhone 4S/5/5S are laggy too
I'm not saying the phone is garbage, just that it'd be nice for this phone to be close to the M8 in terms of reaction...anyone who has messed with an M8 will tell u that the moment you press something it comes up, zero lag, zero waiting for extra input.
However, I'll sacrifice that for imo a better overall phone.

No real lag for me. 1/2 a second or so it seems.
2. When streaming a video, phone randomly turns screen off, meaning I have to press that power button again, confirm my fingerprint again, and press play...again...
Haven't seen this issue on mine at all
3. Lock screen and S-View weather doesn't update if you don't have the Accuweather widget on your homescreen
This drives me nuts! I thought it was just me!
4. Is it just me, or is the word recognition of the Samsung keyboard when using swype motions worse than its ever been?
Works good for me. I so far haven't felt the need to go back to swiftkey which has been my go-to for nearly 2 years
5. recent apps takes about 2 seconds to come up after pressing the button
Takes about the same amount of time it takes the screen to power up from hitting the power button. 1/2 second or so.
I think I'd be visiting a store ASAP if your phone is having these lag issues. Have read a few reports about this but I haven't really seen it on my device so far.
Has anyone experienced app crashes lately? My phone has been working great for days now, then today it seems like every app in open crashes and stops responding. It will lock up my phone and won't stop until reset.

I have a quick gripe, I could be missing something though.
There is no real indication that I see if I am on wifi or not.
It still says 4g and the status bar doesn't seem to change unless I am missing something.

The wifi signal icon shows you are on wifi....
Oh then something is wrong with my phone or there is a setting that needs to be adjusted,
I do not see the wifi symbol anywhere
Turning wifi on and connecting it is the only thing you should have to do.
I can confirm multitasking and wake up lag.

The only lag i experience is through Samsung apps and multitasking button. I'm guessing it's because it is waiting for a hold. Just like if you disable s voice on home key your back to home response time is much faster.
