Hello Forums,
Today I pulled a stupid with my phone (long story). After spending a short time getting my phone back to it's previous state, I noticed I no longer have the button to clear all recent apps at the top right hand corner of the screen when the "Recent Apps" UI is in focus. I know I can swipe them off one by one, but the button that cleared the entire list with one go is much preferred.
My question is how to I re-enable the button to clear the list of recent apps? I've gone through settings 50 times but am apparently missing the option.
ROM: CM10.0.0-stable
Thanks

since the gingerbread update the hardware keyboard of my desire z is unusable.
there are some keys that do strange things when I press them, I have not changed any settings since the update.
I'm talking about this:
when I press "G" my phone automatically goes to gmail
when I press "S" my phone goes to my messages
when I press "B" it goes to my browser
I tought about shortcuts but in the menu there I can't see any shortcuts dedicated to this keys.
anybody an idea how to fix?
other people having the same problem?
I've ran into this a couple of times as well, as far as I know it's supposed to be a feature rather than a bug. Try pressing "FN" and then "SYM" and go back to composing your message, this usually fixes things for me.
As this has been answered a bunch of times....
Settings -> Applications -> Quick launch.
Remove every shortcut and you're done

While that does address the issue at hand, my question is how did they get activated, I never had this problem before i updated to 2.3.3.
I have no idea either. The quick launch settings are there when you first flash a rom. The strange thing is they go crazy and start working without the need to press the "search" button on the keyboard...
I have been on CM7 for the longest time and haven't updated to a newer nightlies for a the past couple of weeks, but I am having the same issue.
UPDATE:
Tried pressing the search button on the keyboard a couple times and it is now working fine. I guess the search button was "stuck"? Funny because I never used the button before.
Hi, first thing, this is my first Android phone and I understand I should press the back button to close out of apps rather than press the home button. So this means if I have been surfing for a while, I have to press back, say 20 times, going backward through all the pages I've visited, until I reach the first page opened and the browser will close.
I know I can press home to close, then press the right menu button to bring up the recent apps and swipe the browser away, but isn't there a better way to close out of programs? I thought maybe holding the 'back' button would force close it but it just brings up the browsing history.
2nd: I'm finding that some programs do not go into certain 'folders' while it goes into other folders, what is causing this?
Thanks.
On cm10 or any custom rom actually has the option in developers options to "long press back to kill app" if you don't have that option the only way is it press the home button hit the recent apps button not the menu button and swipe it away. How is that hard? Its much harder to do the same task on iOS.
Also I'm not too sure what you mean by the folder deal can you take a screenshot and upload it here. ( hold power + volume down.)

The browser is a unique case where you don't have to back out. The best way is just close the current tab, or all tabs you have open, to close the browser. You don't go 20 pages back for browser closing. But for all apps yes back button is the best way to close apps when you're done.
Lol wow... I do that all the time and completely forgot thanks.

Hey guys, quick question. I noticed that when you bring up the Recent Apps menu by holding down the home button, upon long pressing on the Clear All button (the three lines icon), System UI asks for superuser privileges. What exactly is being executed here?
I'm running LiquidSmooth (4.2.2).
I recently went from Note 3 to Note 4, and then quickly took the Lollipop upgrade, so I don't know if this happened between models or between systems. But I now do not have access to the settings menus on some apps. The menu was previously brought up by the "button" to the left of the home button, but that now brings up recently opened apps. I don't see any way to get to app settings and there are no updates available - Palmary Weather Pro and Tecarta NIV Bible. They both worked fine on Note 3, but only access settings through that lower button, which is now used for something else. I'm hoping there's a solution, but I'm afraid it's collateral damage of new OS. Thanks for any ideas.

That button is now the Recent Apps button. Long press that button brings up menu usually and a lot of apps have three little dots in the upper right corner. That's the menu button for the app. This is a Note 4 thing. I know I'm having a terrible time breaking the habit of tapping that lower left corner button. I'll get used to it though.
Thanks very much! I had tried the 3 little dot thing, but did not know about the long press on the recent apps button. That brought up what I was looking for!
I've been using Android for a long time, but most of what I've learned is from xda, other forums, or youtube (in that order), and not from what I would have actually figured out for myself. Thanks again.
I'm confused on how to explain the problem I am having, but will try to be as short-winded as possible. It doesn't matter what I am in (app or settings etc.) but after I hit the back button ( < ) it takes me back to the top or beginning of the screen. For instance, the CNN app, I scroll down to the middle of the page, click on an article to read and tap the back button, it will take me back to the very beginning like i just opened the app. Not where I left off in the middle of the page. Amazon app acts the same way. I thought it might be an app related problem, but it does the same thing in my Settings menu. I can go to Settings/General/Default message app, and when I tap back button it goes back up to the top. Not a huge problem, but can be frustrating at times. Just curious if other people are having this problem or is it just me. If it matters I have Sprint as a carrier and I have the leather model. Any help would be greatly appreciated
