Weird feature when you hit HOME button

So I've recently noticed that once you hit home when you are using any app, you get this sort of short cut screen, is there any way to get rid of it?

This should be in the Q&A section, but to answer the question this recent shortcut screen is displayed only when you press and hold the home button, if you just press the home button without holding it takes you to the home screen of your preferred launcher. I'm not sure if its possible to disable this.

Been around since at least android 2.0. Eclair

I don't know how you get that.
When I'm in "any app", and press home - I get home.
If I'm in "any app" and hold home, I get the typical shortcut box.

All I get when I hold home is the task manager screen which is what's supposed to happen when you do that. I've never seen that screen before.

This screen displays when phone thinks it's in a desktop dock.

Thank you for the info, I rebooted and it went away, again thanks!

Screenshot App?

What do you guys use to take screenshots? I used to use Shootme but the developer has taken it off the market. Any suggestions?

Hold volume down and power. Its built into ICS.

How about holding on to the Volume down + Power button at the same time?

Press the Volume down and power buttons at the same time. Boom, screenshot!

Oh no kidding! Had no idea, thank you!

use the volume down and... oh guess its been said 10 times in this thread already

Volume down and power **** take to long, if you have tasker and Secure Setting...here you go (/system/bin/screencap -p /sdcard/$(date +%m.%d.%Y-%H:%M).png)

Yeah, I've always found it ridiculously taxing to press two easy to access buttons to take a screenshot.

[HELP] My power button its a bit hard to press

Hello,
Ive been wondering why my power button its so hard to press, its hard to explain but its almost an even surface when you pass your finger through the side of the phone, I mean its just more deep inserted in the case that the volume rocker for example. I dont know if its normal since I traded my phone for the galaxy nexus so I didnt get it new.

}
I just wanted to know if the volume rocker and the power button have the same "touch" feeling when you press them? If so, how can I fix it, maybe disassembling to fix that?
Cheers

Is that no one has experienced this or no one wants to help ?

I don't have your experience. My power button indeed feels roughly the same as volume up & down buttons.

i have exactly the same problem, my power button used to be nice before until i cleaned it with a soft brush

Has the phone ever been taken apart? My power button is normal but it could be that internally a clip broke or something. Its pretty easy to take it apart, not sure if you're comfortable in taking it apart

Volume buttons not working ? Fixed easely !

Hi .
The volume dead button in the HTC Desire is a recurrent problem wich lots of people complaint.
I bought my Desire in second hand for a sweet priçe because the buttons weren`t working and this is a big no no wen you have to perform any action wich requires entering in the recovering menu.
Now,....there is a simple fix to this seemingly life treadenig menaçe to your phone...
Prepared ?!
Grab a seringe with a needle and fill it with a bit o alcool and insert one of two drops of alcool under the button and click on the volume buttons for a minute or two and then let it dry on the sun or other heat source and DONE !!! It is has simple has that.
I think this action can be aplied to any stuck buttons on phones but then each case has is own problems and fixes.One side note,-dont soak the phone in alcool...one drop aplied with a needle will do but if dont repeat the process,just dont soak the phone in alcool,-there is no need and could ruin your phone.
Hope this help someone
Cheers
Carlos
Here is a pic on how the alcool should be aplied

Volume up and power button issue

Hello! When I'm pressing volume up button nothing happens, but if i push it harder it sometimes works. Power button is strange because when i press it to turn on the screen it works perfectly, but when i want to turn the screen off just nothing happens. Is there any workaround for this? Changing roms doesn't help it, tried with venom, revolution hd, and insertcoin and this doesn't help

And now it just started working well

So strange.
Before your 2nd post, I was going to respond that one button broken is not unusual; but 2 buttons (not close to each other) is really strange.
But for them to just start working again for no apparent reason . . . IT MUST BE ALIENS.
