Booted my desire up after a month of being off. Home key stopped working and also it seemed none of my user data was working. All personalisation gone. No apps. Like stock again. Rebooted. All apps came back but home key still not functional.
Any thoughts?

I use tapatalk to browse xda or other forums. When i press the back button on the T989 it stops at the program's forums list and just flashes each time. it finally exits after 10+ times of pressing back button. if i press home button then it closes. not a big deal but just wondering if this happens to anyone else.
Nope, just you. My Tapatalk app is tamed
It probably has something to do with the way you use Tapatalk. It works fine on my phone.

This has been touched on in the development thread, but since I just registered, I can't post or reply there so maybe someone will see this and can help me out. With the new CM10 nightly straight from get.cm on my epic, the fn key on the hardware keyboard does not work. In the web browser it just ignores that i've pressed it all together. In texting it doesn't accept any input after pressing the fn key until i press it again to turn it off. Any fixes or is this a bug that will need to be fixed through future versions? Is everyone experiencing this, or is it just a few people?

I wiped everything and reinstalled and it is working now. I wiped every bit of stuff I could off my phone using CWM. Seems to work great now... odd. )(*&^%$#~-_+=[];:\"'><}{|[email protected]/!

You must hold the Fn key, much like the shift key on a pc.

Not unless that is a new way of using the FN key

I think he is still on cm9 unless his sig is outdated. But yes, in cm10 you have to hold the fn key when searching. But I'm fine with that. Mine was not working at all. But then I cleared and reflashed everything and it works

My Fn key doesn't work either even if I hold it.

See my 2nd post above. I wiped everything and reflashed and it fixed the issue. Seems like we got a dirty flash... I wiped absolutely everything from within CWM. Saved stuff I wanted on SD card, went to mounts and storage and went through each wipe option, so I'm not sure which one actually fixed it.

I have the same issue. Seemed to start after I loaded up a copy of Swift Key Flow Beta. I went back to Swype - and it sill won't let me use the Fn key.
I will try doing some wiping when I have more time, just thought I would add that one little clue to the discussion.
Dont know what else to call it really but I know this is happening with all of our devices.. which is when the screen times out and u press home to wake it up it takes u back to default homescreen. The sgs3 doesnt react that way and ive had to get used to hitting the power button instead. Any ideas? This would be amazing and greatfully appreciated.

I can't replicate this issue. I let my screen timeout and pressed the home button and it simply turned the screen back on to where I left it.

I've had it happen. You press he home button immediately after the screen goes black, and it wakes the screen up, but also takes out of what ever you are in and takes you to the home page. I've retrained myself not to go for the home button, but the power button.

I've seen this behavior too. It's quite annoying.

Stock rooted. I tried it multiple times and the same thing happens, screen times out, I instantly press the home button and it turns the screen back on but keeps me on the web page, app, etc that I'm using.

This is really an issue, "immediately" hitting the home button when it goes to sleep? Why not just avoid letting it go to sleep or hit the power button? This seems like a non issue to me and I've never had it happen.
but my post does not help the OP so good luck with that, sorry for the editorial.
The point is my sgs2 gti9100, and sgs3 tmobile which both had physical buttons didnt react this way.. I find it to be strange.

Are you using stock LEAK ?
I think this is a Jellybean 4.1 issue. My Note 2 has the same problem, but my wife's Galaxy S3 didn't when she was on ICS. Last week the phone updated to JB and now the problem exists.
This is definitely related to Jelly bean but I'm not sure if it is strictly a Touchwiz Jelly bean issue. It happens when I removed S Voice from the home button double press. It happens on the S3 and when my Note II comes in I bet it will happen on there too.
There are a lot of people that noticed it and I even saw someone open an issue with Google, although I'm not sure it is entirely a Google issue.

The last line is the issue maybe.
"I want the single tap to be more snappy - for that I must disable s voice, but when I do it this bug raises its head. "
Do you guys have s voice disabled on the home button to save that lag time?
I disabled the s voice on the home button but still have the lag.

Looking for some help to change my power button to wake my phone and use all the other shortcuts in the power button menu. The power button still works but I don't have a physical button . I removed it from my phone due to the button sticking and random resets. I'm running Project X 3.9 .

Check the quickpanel settings. I don't think there is a power setting. Rom Toolbox may be what you need for getting to the power on/off. As for the pother options, if they can't be added through the AIO, then you might want to try an AOSP ROM. There is a tutorial on how to add things to the power section. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2125196
Install this app. It will allow you to choose settings for the phone to turn on off, eg taking it out of your pocket, putting it down face down, etc. The E4GT power button is a known issue and the reason I got rid of mine. I didn't have this app at the time though. Hopefully it helps you.

I found this app that switches the volume rocker buttons to wake your phone and and gives you a shortcut to turn your screen off , reboot. I'm using the search softkey to power off screen.

This is the perfect app for the power button fix. It should be a sticky
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It looks like you got a fix. But let me just add that you should also use nomoarhpowah. Which I highly recommend. Because your button may break completely one day and you want to be ready.
