I'm on Lollipop stock for VZW.
Over the past couples days, my back button has started to go to home instead of back about 75% of the time. For example, if I go to a site in Chrome, and hit back to go to the previous site, it instead takes me to the home screen. Or if I open an image in Reddit News, and hit back to go to the post list, it takes me to the home screen. Open a text in Textra, hit back to go to the conversation list, takes me to the home screen.
I can even open the app back up, and it will take me to the last screen that I wanted to go back from. I hit back again and it closes it again! Open it again, closes it. Open it AGAIN, and it will go back to where I want it to go.
This is driving me insane!!! I really don't want to factory reset but I'm afraid I'll have to.

I recently went from RC33 to ADP 1.5(JF), and everything went smoothly. However, when I installed AnyCut and went to 'edit existing shortcuts', there's nothing listed there. There's definitely shortcuts on home screen; some dragged from menu bar, some created with AnyCut's 'new shortcut' option. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, rebooting, hell I've even wiped again trying to get it to work and it doesn't! I'm going to send an email to Jeff Hamilton (creator of AnyCut) later and see what he thinks.
Also, AndTweet is a twitter client for Android. After installation it works fine for the time the phone is on. After rebooting, however, it goes into the options menu of AndTweet and hitting back brings me back to Home screen. Only uninstalling/reinstalling gets this to work, but only if the phone isn't restarted.
Both applications worked fine before the update. Any ideas?? Thanks in advance for any help!
Anyone else having this/these problem/s?
Recently, I've been getting a slight glitch (don't know if that's the proper word) after holding down the home button to view recent apps. After doing it, and pressing the home button to go back to home, I get the pop-up box to select the default home. It seems that every time I view recent apps, it erases the default home... I tried uninstalling home++, which is what I use, using a different home alternative, and the same happens.
Anyone else have this problem?
This might be a simple error on my part.
Edit- I check it to be default, but viewing recent apps seems to erase the default option.
When you press home there should be a box with default box to check. If check then the default or alternative home replacement should now be the default return when going home.
Checking the box doesn't do anything... viewing recent apps erases the default home setting.
Update
I wiped and am still getting the same issue.
I'm running cyanogen latest...
this started happening randomly, and I've tried to find the cause but haven't been able to...
is anyone else having this issue?

Same issue here on two phones I hadn't correlated it to the holding of the home button but I just tested it and that is the problem. This is annoying, I don't have many shared apps between the two phones either to blame.
long story short, my bro did somethin w/ my phone & it stopped working...only worked shortly after battery pulls
so i factory reset and it works but im stuck at setup accounts and it keeps looping when i set up gps and goes back to backup assistant. Any way to get by this? the error says My Accounts (process com.motorola.setup) has stopped
also, i know the phone is working cuz i can get online(by using voice serch), pull notif bar down and go into wifi, gmail, & texts, etc
anyone???

Do you have the desk dock? If you do, plug it in, and go into productivity mode. There is an app drawer there. Go to the market, and install your launcher of choice. Actually, if you do voice search, look for a launcher pro apk. That'll work too.
anyone got a solution? please help.. even i am stuck at the same spot... dont know what app's i need to RE-install...
thanks
If you can get to your dialer (I had to use the Visual Voicemail setup to pull it up, then when it closes back to setup accounts, I held down home to get to the recent apps screen, select dialer from there) use the mic button to access voice commands. Say "go to market" it will pull up market. Download a different launcher, and then when you hit home, it will give you the choice to go back into Setup or your new launcher. Go to the launcher. You can take it from there...
Was the phone rooted? If so - did you remove any apps from /system/app?
Yes and yes. I had backed them up with TiBu, but the restore didn't work as planned so I found a dump of the system/app folder here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-3-hacks/167677-removing-bloatware-2.html#post1705285
yea i figured it out by trial & error Sat with a lil help from techdigital on another forum...altho i hadnt removed anything...stupid ass setuo apk lol
that helps... yay.
By the way if you tap each of the corners of android welcome screen starting from the top left (haven't tested on d3 but works on others) in order it bypasses setup altogether.
(Sorry if this has been covered before - I couldn't find anything by searching!)
When I go into the default 'Messaging' app on my Galaxy S (to write a text message), it often quits out, more or less immediately back to the home screen.
It isn't like a force close or a crash/freeze, but as though someone has pressed the back or home button to return to the home screen. Sometimes I can go back in no problems, other times this cycle goes on for a few times until I can successfully open the messaging app long enough to write a message.
Does anyone know what causes this and if there is a workaround?
I'm running Gingerbread.XXJVQ and ADW EX as my custom launcher if that helps.
Wow. Third thread... Not quite the same but similar thing happening over here

Thanks for the pointer Talon26.
I'll keep an eye on that thread to see if any answers surface.
Hi.
Say I am using whatsapp and click a link which opens in chrome. When I click back button in chrome, it should go to whatsapp. But instead the phone goes to home screen. What is the problem here?
Happened in all apps & all OS. Current OS is Oreo, previous was 7.0, happened there also.
I think that's by design in OxygenOS.
Mine goes back to app, and I'm on OOS ?
Example - I am visiting a website on Chrome. A whatsapp notification pops up fullscreen, I press button. Instead of going back to Chrome, the phone goes back to homescreen!!
I am on 8.0 Oreo. Any help?

That could happen because of several things...
Most common is out of memory or resources, so the os closes previous opened apps,and has nothing to return to.
Also it can be ambigious pointer of the stack, as you reacted on a notification.
The best behaviour for us is not to use back, as that can close an app, but use the other button which will let you select any previous app to return to.
