Google Now - Swipe Up? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I just upgraded to Jellybean. When trying to swipe up to use Google Now, absolutely nothing happens, no matter which screen I've tried it from. Is there a trick to getting the app to come up by swiping? I can tap on the Google icon on the home screen of course, but I'd like to use the swiping feature if possible...

You don't swipe uo to get Google Now to come up. You press and hold the Menu button while on the home screen. That should do the trick.

Thanks dj!

You can also hold the home key down then click the g button. You can access google now that way no matter what your doing.

[Q] How to reset Capacitive Home button?

I accepted the OTA update this morning, and after all was set and done, the only different thing I noticed was that the home button/screen is not working as it was before the update.
Long press the button and brings the task manager screen that's ok, but if I'm at the main/home or any other screen and double tap the capacitive button nothing happens, before it would show all 7 pages in small size. Is there a way to restore this function?
Try pinching the home sceen.

Thanks for the reply, pinching the screen does make it to show all screens but still the home button doesn't, I don't know if I changed something by accident.

Home button vs lock button press when screen is locked and no lock screen security

Hello,
I've been using my new note 2 for two weeks now.. and I like it so much
I also used sgs2 and 3 before.
I'm not new to android.. I flashed roms, know every single setting in the device, rooted my sgs2 and tried lots of apps to customize them.
Regarding my issue, I like to set my device to none screen security because I always manually lock it with a press on the lock screen button after I do whatever I want to do with it, and to unlock I always press Home button to get back to where I was immediately without the need to swipe the lock screen.
The problem is when I lock it and there is an app running and then press the home button the screen goes to home default screen and do not just unlock the screen and keep it there where I was last, this was not the case with my sgs2 or sgs3.
If I press the lock screen button instead it does what I want but I prefer to use home button because its much easier.
Its not a big issue but its annoying sometimes because sometimes I get popup notification windows while the phone is locked (whatsapp for example) and I press the home button to see it and instead of just turning on the screen to see the window it goes back to home screen and the popup is gone, or in cases where I'am writing an email or reading something and meanwhile talking to somebody, if the screen gets locked, If I press the home button everything is gone. So I have to switch tasks to open my activity again.
I don't know if this is a jellybean issue or hardware (homebutton).
I know its not a big deal but I would appreciate if somebody can help get around this

It seems to be a jellybean feature no way around unless a mod comes out...
All jellybean roms in Note I had this feature and i remember seeing this thing on SGS III jellybean too
Just install the S Voice app , "voicetalk_NLI.apk".
In S Voice, set "double click active S Voice" will fix the issue.
This actually worked! Thanks
But the problem is that i use another app (home2) to control home button which makes me able to control what app runs when double clicking home or even use a combination of home with back or menu.
Its a very good app if you want to try it.
This leaves me with trying to deal with my original issue tho or just return to old factory setting

edit. There's one slight problem, now it lags a bit to return back to the home screen..

Home Button Question

When my screen turns off and I press the home button to wake the screen, any applications or notification popups I had disappears as the home button is being too "aggressive" and immediately takes me to the home screen.
Did I miss a setting somewhere to prevent this?
Thanks.
It seems the only way to prevent this is by enabling Swipe Lock. I guess this is why it's enabled by default?
I'm having the same problem no matter what I do when the screen times out and I press home it takeme back to my home screen. ..Have you found a solution yet?

In S-Voice app, bring up settings, make sure option to "Open via the home key" is checked. This will allow the home button to only wake the device when the screen is off. Unfortunately, this also introduces some lag when pressing the home button, as the software is waiting to see if you register a double click.

I hate that lag, that's why I unchecked it and ran into this Home Button problem.
The lag is pretty bad, like 2-3 seconds. Not practical.

Home screen button

I have been a little silly and managed to assign google to my home screen button. So now whenever I swipe up, google opens.
How do I remove this?
thanks

Want to change

App to swap the Back and Menu/recent keys?

Guys,
I know it's easy to do when we have root. Also it might already post it somewhere. I couldn't find it.
What the name of the app let me swap the Back and Menu hardware keys for Non-root phone ?
Just picked up the Note 4 this morning.

I don't know of a way to change touchwiz keymapping without root and xposed framework.
but if you're unaware of this, you can actually bring up menu by holding the recent apps key for 1 second
I care more about the back button. I'm holding phone with the left hand and can't reach to the back button

Here's something that may help. Settings > Device > One handed operation > Side Key Panel
It will put a soft key version of the Home/Back/Recents button on the left side of the screen. It's barely visible until you swipe it when needed. I also use my left hand and had problems reaching the "back" button.
i really hate it too!
freaking samsung should atleast give us a option to choose if we want that button to be menu or task manager.

Damn it. We need root now so we can change this crap

Would either of these work for your situation? One is pie type launcher on screen the other just puts a dedicated back button on the screen? I've been searching for a post I KNOW I saw with a root free app that someone found that'll let you swap the buttons and even assign a hardware button to a function but I just can't relocate it
I'm using ADW launcher. the back button on screen maybe a temp solution
If we have root, this should work fine:
