Has anyone experienced problems with the home button?
If I don't hit mine spot on in the middle its a mushy feel. if I click it on the edge it either doesn't active, activate sometimes and even double taps unintentionally (which opens s voice).
This was a major annoyance on my S2 and it irritates me to have this problem with the note 2. Am I the only one?

Thinking of purchasing the nexus but wondering if the home button ever interferes with texting. Anybody who has a nexus if you could post your thoughts on if you accidentally hit the home button while texting?

no. Id worry more about how laggy the landscape keyboard is sometimes.

You can hit it by accident but you type every day on a keyboard and you manage to hit most of the correct letters so no reason you would be that inaccurate with the space key.....
I'm a heavy texter and I've never accidently hit the home button
I've never accidentally hit it either

Hi I currently own a galaxy nexus and I'm really missing my gs2. I am looking to get a gs3 and when I went to the mobile store I noticed that when pressing the home button from any open app there was a slight lag to get to home screen. Is this just normal for this phone or is the display model borked? I've own the gs2 and SBS and home screen button never was that slow at returning to the home screen. Any input would be nice before I purchase this phone.

Deactivate double pressing to launch svoice and wont be any lag.

It's in S-Voice settings.
Oh SK its how the sgs2 was? Nice. Then I am getting it for sure. Been keeping up with the threads here and not much negative stuff . The gnex is nice but the volume is too low and WiFi and connectivity issues are killing the pure android experience. Updates aren't worth dealing with that. Even with custom Roms there are issues.

Out if the box I thought the s-pen could do no wrong. Now lately I'm noticing its not registering more and more frequently even though my behavior hasn't changed.
Any one else noticing this?

Not registering screen writing or button presses? I had the Note 1 and the thing I find myself getting used to now is that the pen is more accurate, untill you try to hit onscreen buttons. You have to push the pen harder on the buttons. Its just how it is I guess

there's another thread about opening up the spen and configuring the sensitivity. I followed the tutorial and made it more sensitive and it works better now.

No sensitivity issues here, good to know there is a calibration wizard though.
It took me a while to realize, but I noticed when the screen sees the stylus, like air view, the bottom three buttons don't work. And I keep having the urge to press back or menu with the stylus. Not a big deal, but it would be nice.

A small semicircular tab sometimes appears on the left side of the screen. Pulling it out shows an icon bar and an edit button. Then it again dissapears. So far have not identified what I do to make it appear or disappear. Anyone knows how or where to find settings for it or how to lock it on and off?

Press and hold back button.

Please search before posting next time. This has been asked almost everyday.
It is the multiwindow feature. Holding BACK button will activate/deactivate it.
Don't mean to sound rude, it just gets frustrating seeing the same questions pop up over and over and over again.

I have a clicky home button. It kinda is like a two stage button. Its very clicky and not soft and smooth like the power button and volume buttons. If I were to describe the sound it almost sounds like there is a little piece of sand stuck under the button and every time you press it, the button hits it. How would I go about fixing this? I bought the phone off craigslist so could I just go into the T-Mobile store and get a replacement? Or is there a way to fix it? Any help would be AWESOME

That's the noise the button makes.
Seriously?

No it is not smart ass. I've had other Samsung devices with the same button. It is not how its supposed to sound. And it does not happen every time I press it. Usually on the left or right side it does

Mine makes a clicky sound. Everyone I know with a S4 had the same click sound.

In my opinion the build quality is inconsistent. I've bought 3 of them and one had a defective power button (i.e., recessed slightly and difficult to press). If you think something is wrong with your home key go to the store and compare to their demo phones. If there is a real problem with your phone they will tell you your options for getting warranty service.

I just checked 3 different m919s, they all make a click sound on the home key. the power button is mushy and quiet on all 3, and the volume buttons are just in between if you can hear beyond the beeping.
if you're sure something has creeped in there, have you tried taking some dust off to your phone?

How can it be the same button on a DIFFERENT Samsung device?
SOS!!!!!!!!
My girlfriend S4 has the same problem but my S4 is fine. I guess there's no fix.
I've got a little home button sticker on mine that came with my Spigen case. Doesn't really make much of a click.
Had this on my 2nd one. Its like the button kinda gets stuck a bit then it clicks. It just started doing it. My 3rd replacement is fine. Hopefully it stays that way.
