Whenever I press the B button it brings up the stock browser, G brings up Gmail and, S brings up the Messaging app.
It makes it difficult to type as I have to keep missing these letters out.
I have not changed any settings on my phone, it suddenly started to happen today..
Any ideas?
Go to settings, applications, quicklaunch. And disable all keyboard shortcuts.

Try a hard reboot (turn off the phone with fastboot disabled if you have Sense). This happened to me when I was running MIUI for abit, a reboot eliminated the problem.

This is the easiest way. No one really uses those.

Holding down the search key for 4 seconds fixes it as well

I think it happened after buying the Launcher Pro Plus home screen replacement. I have since uninstalled it but depending on the app that I'm in, when I hit the soft "home" button on the phone, the system asks me which home screen application I want to use. Sense is set as the default in the application settings so I have no clue why this happens. Anyone experience this?
If sense is set as the default and launcher pro is uninstalled it should stop prompting you to choose a default have you tried a restart or a battery pull?

When that happens again and you get the prompt check the box you want it to default to and that should set it. Make sure the check box is highlighted.

I'm sure I've pulled the battery since then but I'll try again. And yes I do put a check mark in the default box when I am prompted. Funny thing is it only happens from some applications and while I'm in certain menus in certain apps. I'll see if I can pin point when it happens but it happens enough to irritate me. Shouldn't happen at all. Maybe I'll uninstall all home screen replacements and see if that stops it. Maybe if there's no choice but Sense, it will stop. If it doesn't I dont know what to do.
Just did a few more tests, Doesn't happen from the Internet app, Market but if I load up Astro it happens if I hit the home button or if I try to back myself out of the app to the home screen with the back button. However, it seems that if I place the checkmark in the default box when I'm prompted, then it doesn't happen again for that app. Strange huh? You would think this would be global but its acting as if it's per app.

yeah, the new qik update was my problem too.
My fix was to load the latest OTA. Weird huh?
I'm rooted so I don't have the latest ota update. I removed the latest qik update. Let's see if that helps

Install CM6. Fixed it for me.
the best way to replicate the problem for me is to launch an app, hold the home button while in the app, launch another app from the list, and then push the home button once.
The bug triggers when you use the recent application list by holding the home button.
I also noticed that HTC Sense would show up in the recent list ever since I update qik.
Where is the setting to make power button end call in progress?
I have it enabled and now i want to disable it but i cant remember where it is. I checked all the setting in both cyanogen and dialer one, but i cant find it.
Any help is appreciated,

Thank you.
I don't have that, or anything, under accessibility settings.
AFAIK, only CyanogenMod (and CM-based ROMs) will carry that setting. I haven't seen it in Sense or Ruby.
THANK YOU!!!
I too enabled this feature thinking it would be really nice. But I soon found that if you put the phone on speaker and have one of those auto-select prompts when you call a company and the screen times out you are basically screwed because you can't get the screen to come back. Pushing the power button ends the call.
I was running a Cognition Rom.
Adjusting your volume didn't wake your screen?
Is there a way to bypass the lockscreen. I would just like to push the power button and be on home screen. ???

Missing Windows Mobile wilder?
I don't think so in Android. There are apps that will allow you to delay the lock but I don't know about disabling or redirecting it. Let's see if you get any other suggestions.
I've used no lock on my photon with no issues-https://play.google.com/store/search?q=no+lock
if you are on ICS, just go to security and set lock screen to "none" if your still on GB im not sure

true no lock
If you really want to get rid of the lock screen on the epic touch then go into the dialer and enter *#7594#
It will prompt you to uncheck a box. That box is so that when you long press the power button it powers off. It will also disable the lock screen. I always wished my og epic had this so I seemed it out when I got the epic touch.
I hope this helps someone.
This app does it for me most of the time. It occasionally still gives the lock screen, but rarely. The lock screen shows up on boot, and I've seen it after a phone call once.
All you need to do is go to location and securty, lockscreen, none this works on Gingerbreadand ICS no need for any apps.

I think you misunderstand. Marking none in the settings just gets rid of pin or whatever type of lock screen you have chosen. We want there to be no lock screen. No version of Android does that in the settings as far as i know. That is ehy the app no lock exists.

First the one handed operation, I try to disable it by unchecking the option but dor some reason it just continues to default to one handed operation while im typing.
Second issue is the default program option, I check always and go to applications manager but im unable to add always to a particular operation, like instragram, ie, twitter. Any help would be great.

Have you rebooted your GN2? I had a problem where the default launcher choice wouldn't stick until after I rebooted.

Try rebooting your phone, is your keyboard showing full-screen at all? It has two multi-touch gestures built in that can not be turned off, and poorly implemented to boot. Pushing your thumbs together from the outside edge to the middle will turn on one handed mode. Then from middle with two fingers/thumbs out to edge of the screen will put it back into full-screen mode. Most of the time this only happens to me when I'm typing, not when I'm showing off the feature. :silly:

Because I tinker with several launchers, I find it easiest to just use the Home Switcher app (free on Google Play).
I don't remember for sure how I got my preferred launcher to "stick", though. I may have gone into Settings/Application Manager/All, scrolled-down and opened "TouchWiz Home" and pressed the Clear Defaults button. Then rebooted. After that, Home Switcher seemed to work as intended.
I was gonna start a thread.. but I'll bring it here, i decided to use the auto screen brightness it didn't last to long.. the screen on auto seems to change brightness allot.. but with auto brightness off its fine... does anyone have issues with auto brightness on?? Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T889
The Galaxy S1 was the same way. I never use auto brightness.
"Select Home" dialogue keeps popping up very frequently when I'm pressing the home button even though I've selected Home as default.
Anyone knows what causes this or how I can remove EasyHome?
I had the same problem when I had a widget for Smart Calendar Pro on my home screen. I've reported it to the makers of the app

I was having this issue too and the culprit was the Hotmail app... It's a bug in the Android system if any app has a language call Mata data (or something like that) it will forget your default settings of your home launcher.
I remove the Hotmail app and haven't had a problem ever since. If it wasn't for Nova launcher telling me which app was causing it, I would have probably returned my perfectly good running device.
If you don't have the Hotmail app installed, I recommend you use nova launcher and let it alert you which app is causing the issue. Uninstall that app reboot your phone and you should be good to go and then remove nova launcher if you so choose to.
Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I installed Nova Launcher (used it earlier but decided to give the default launcher a go for this new phone), but didn't really see where it could tell me what the culprit was.
Anyways, I managed to reproduce it pretty effectively.
Long press home button
Opens up Google Now
Short press home button
Select Home dialogue appears
I had the Google Home widget on my main home screen, removed that now.
Looks like the dialogue does not appear anymore, guess I'll know by the end of the day.

Thank you so much shook187 for your suggestion. It worked for my LG G4.
1. I've installed the Nova launcher.
2. Then tried to press the home button number of times choosing the Nova Launcher.
3. Next I clicked on the Nova Launcher home screen and kept my finger until the setting wheel appeared.
4. I clicked on the setting and at the top was displayed notification ' Fix it app causing a problem'.
5. I clicked on the notification and selected uninstall.
