Since the update to 5.0 it seems like every time I hit the home button I get this annoying pop up asking me which home screen to use. I have hit the Damn always button about 10000 times and now it's just annoying the **** out of me anyone know of a fix?

I do not know how to fix that, but you might be able to use a different launcher and see if that solves it. It's an easy bandaid if it works.

OK so I downloaded nova launcher and after opening it seen that the Hotmail app might give nova a problem so I Uninstalled it and now have no issues

Hey all,
Anyone have the issue where you can shake the phone back and forth and the google search opens up? I know that i'm not hitting the bottom right button, nor am i tapping search on the screen.
Sometimes it's not a big deal, but on phone calls it can really get frustrating.
Thanks

Maybe your accidently holding the menu button?

Is it this by any chance:

If so, open gesture search, menu options and disable.
Anyone using Button Savior? I love it but it doesn't seem to survive a reboot. In fact, sometimes, it seems to die even without a reboot. Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a way to ensure that it's always running?
Sent from my XDA app on my Nook Color
I started using it today and have rebooted several times. Seems to actually work, whereas SoftKey didn't work as reliably for me.
I installed it via the Market. At some point, not right away, it asked for su. After that it has worked fine.

I'm another happy user of button savior. I use it on on my rooted HD2 and love it.
An update just came out for button savior, but I have never had problems with it. I do have to restart it once in awhile after a boot, but not every time. Not much to complain about because I love that some smart person actually came out with it!
I've been using it for several days and have rebooted many times. Installed via Market. So far so good.
I love button savior. I occasionally miss the button to pull up the menu because its so small but it has survived a few reboots.
I see the little button on my screen on the right but it does nothing, I cannot activate it, I have gone into the settings and I can move it from left to right but that's it, Help please

Are you sure your finger is touching it? I have trouble getting the nook to register my taps on the edges of the screen. Once you tap the icon a group of icons appear like home and back. Try reinstalling if you continue to have problems.
Hi all!
First of all, I'm not sure if I'm doing everything right here, so excuse me if I'm doing something wrong
I'm new.
I've had my HTC One M7 from aliexpress.com for 2 weeks and 2 days now.
Have had great fun of it, nothing seemed wrong, was working perfectly. There were some rumours about an unofficial android-version that was put on this phone, which might be the problem..
Everytime I turn the phone screen on it thinks I hold/doubletap/tap/repeatedly tap the home button, and sometimes when I power it off it thinks I hold the volume down-button and takes a screenshot.. When I finally get to type my 4-digit pin code, it unlocks, goes to home screen, does the same again. Seems like my phone thinks I'm using the buttons..
I've changed settings (in a legit official way via Settings) of my home button to Hold for menu, Hold and swipe up for Google Search, and double-tap for recent apps..
Have tried factory reset twice, have tried rebooting it over and over, have tried almost anything.. I'm at the point of buying a new phone now, because I fear that HTC will not help me because it's an unofficial version of Android.. Any suggestions?
Everytime I open an app it just closes it and goes to home, sometimes before it does that it opens recent apps.. After that it just freezes and I can't touch it. Sometimes after waiting a couple of seconds, I can tap the screen and maybe it's fast enough to open for example WhatsApp, and then it just shuts off and does what I just stated.
Really weird!
I'm quite desperate. Could a custom ROM (Cyanogen or Android lollipop) fix this perhaps?
Please, help

This is purely a hardware issue. Your home button is somehow always in "on" position. Given it's a capacitive button, it could be the digitizer or a scratch on the home button area

Any idea on how to fix this?
This is somewhere about what I mean, read my reply also.
This might even be closer to what I mean.
Should I just send it back to HTC or can I fix this myself, with your heroic help?

Seems like just the thing I wrote. Considering it's a hardware issue you could replace the screen-digitizer assembly by yourself if you are familiar with that kind of work. I tried once on my old Desire and fried the motherboard, so I don't have cojones to do it [emoji6]

Thanks for assisting me. I will bring it to a Chinese or turkish guy around here who will do it for cheap
The lag happens when I hit the home button in order to go back to the home screen from any app, I'm not talking about waking the phone since the phone wakes up fast enough. This has been a long running issue with the galaxies and usually disabling "Open Via Home Key" on S Voice fixed it but on this device (G800F) I've done just that but the lag it's still there. I think there's less of a lag now but the home button's response it's still not as fast as I'm used to. Does anyone know how to fix it other than installing a third party OS? If I have to disable an app to do it I will (disabled S voice but that didn't help matters).
Anyone else got lag when pressing their home button?
Last night it took about 20 seconds from pressing the home button to displaying my home screen.
I'm using Nova Launcher.
Do you use greenify or home bot?

Mine seems to have infinite lag. I cannot for the life of me find the home button! I might stick one on off an iPhone 5s. That has a fingerprint reader in it, therefore solving the "FP reader at the back" problem.
Seriously though, it will be something eating ram Im guessing. I use Nova prime and have zero lag. But then again, I don`t have "Sh*tstirringbook", "InsTITSgram" or "Snapc0ck" installed.
My wifes S7E slows to a crawl when she has these "apps" on.
Might be worth a look.
I agree those apps are so heavy they freeze up every single phone over time even iPhone. You need to clear the app cache or reinstall them and the lag will be gone

Those sickenning infections are the first things to get rid of, if present as bloatware!

Using Nova here too and no lag at all. What Rom/kernel are you on? Or stock?
I have no lag. My phone is fassssttttt and I have a **** load of apps.
happens to me occasionally. clear cache and recent used app helps.
ever since i restarted my "daily morning restart-phone ritual", havent been doing that since i stopped using blackberry (which is termed battery pull because that is the only way to really restart the bloody phone and takes 30 minutes to boot up) i havent seen such lag.
