You might want to get the Home Switcher app from the market (free). It will let you switch between launchers, and might be able to tell you what is going on with the home button.

Might be the kernel, I went from miui 1.5.27 to 1.6.3 and the orientation was all whack. I flashed a new kernel and it was all well afterwards, had the same problem when updating cm7 once

When I am in the camera app, i tapped the back soft key rapidly 3 times to exit camera app to go into my home screen. However it launches me into the google quick search.
This is not a major issue but juz like to know if anyone encounters this too. Software glitch or meant to be this way? I know that dragging from soft keys will bring us to quick search.

Do you mean Google Now? AKA Google Cards?
My phone does this and it did it on my Xperia T.
It does it in almost any situation where i hit the back button multiple times quickly and gets very annoying after a while!
Right. Sorry bout that. I meant Google Now. Apparently only happened in camera app. No prob with other app. And yes very irritating!

you can disable it . go into settings / applications choose all app tab and find google search apk uninstall updates and disable it and you will not have that issue anymore.
Thank you! That helped alot!

Hey guys just wondering if anyone else has an annoying side effect since jb in that in a large number of apps since i have upgraded the back button cause a double tap specifically in forum apps. So for example pressing back once will go back 2menu items or if there aren't2 left to go back then the app will reload itself, i have to Say it is quite annoying! Worth stating that it happens even when using the in app back function too

Can you name the app? Because I don't think I have such a bug. Would love to try the app you're having problem with.

apps in question are avforums and hotukdeals (there are 2 separate apps I have tried) doesnt do it in all apps and doesnt do it in browser so not really sure what is happening but certainly only started when i installed the leaked jb and also with the official one.

Tried installing AV Forum n Hot UK Deals. Been navigating those app for 20 minutes each and the back button are just fine.
I had tried to make my Keyguard go off when I'm at my home wifi, and it simply doesn't work. I'm using tasker and I'm using the same profile as I did on my SGS2 and that was perfect but the HTC One is a bit more trouble some with this setting. If anyone has done this and got it to work successfully please include it. Much appreciated to sharing your time.

I am having the same problem with tasker, I am gonna try older version of tasker!!
I just started using Tasker... and it really works funkily. I have used Tasker itself and Secure Settings, both, to disable the keyguard when I am connected to my WIFi... And sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes while I am using the phone and hit the Android Home button, it actually goes to the Pattern input lock screen.
I am using CM10 with Action Launcher on a Samsung Galaxy Nexus 16gb GSM
I have gone through my AT&T Note 3 thoroughly and disabled most bloat.
I am finding the "My Magazine" app quite annoying due to single clicks of home button while on home screen and accidental upward swipes.
I have yet to figure out how to uninstall or disable it yet.
Does anyone know how?

I think until root is achieved if you cant disable it in app manager if you use a third party launcher it stops it from activating

Open My Magazine, hit your menu key, settings, you can turn off the option to open it via the home button... Unfortunately not with swipe up though. It seems like swiping is more difficult to open it anyway so it's less annoying.

is there any way to start the my magazine as an app and put on my home screen etc?
i cannot seems to find it in the app draw
I don't understand why they have this and flipboard. It is basically the same thing with a different interface and less customization.
It's annoying as hell for me because I already have flipboard as a damn widget. What's worse is you can't even put your flipboard account on there.

In a search on another thread to find a solution for getting to the home screen or home page without pressing the home button, user Dankchild provided this app:
Swipe Home Button Free
It creates a small area at the bottom of the screen where you can swipe up and it will take you home (or another custom action you set). You have to swipe from a little off the bottom of the screen up, and the magazine action is still there if you start on the screen, but since installing this and getting used to swiping from the bottom starting off the screen, I haven't opened the magazine application once. Not a fix but it is working great for me and killing two birds with one stone!
I'm looking for the same thing-a way to disable the stupid My Magazine swipe-up gesture. It's half baked and useless to me. Flipboard is much better and more customizable and I hate that the gesture is there at all in the stock launcher. There has to be a way around this somehow.
I went in to My Magazine and turned off the launch when pressing home button. Then with my phone rooted I froze it with titanium backup. Now if you swipe up from the bottom you get a little popup that says "No app found" or something like that. I have not found a way to get rid of that completely, maybe with that swipe up program listed above.
I also went into My Mag and disabled the button. Switched to NOVA launcher and now it doesnt activate if you swype up from the bottom of the screen...not sure if I did anything to disable it.

If you disable the apk it messes with the stock e-mail app for some reason. I spent days trying to figure out why until someone in another thread suggested I try unfreezing it. Now I haven't had any issues for about 3 days with the e-mail app.

Is this only with the stock e-mail (not gmail) app, or does it effect other stock apps too?

I read that this method is doing a fc whit the email apps
I am pretty disappointed with this. I was hoping I would not have to root the device.
You MUST agree to the Terms and Conditions / Privacy Policies to be able to "disable" the home button binding. If you force stop, clear data then the binding returns.
What was Samsung thinking when they thought they should FORCE everyone to use it or SUFFER the inconvenience...

Jokesonme gave you the answer! With that app you don't have to root and you can have it do nothing when you swipe or switch it to a different app.
Thanks jokesonme!!

Did not work for me. Even with installing the app and trying different bindings, it will either FC TouchWiz or go to the app not found screen in Google Play.
Sadface. Can't wait to put on a custom ROM without all the bloat.
This is horrible every like 20 minutes I'm gettin the error. I don't wanna root I wanna stick to stock.
Any other options?
