When I hold down the Menu button at the home screen, it brings up the keyboard. Is there a purpose for this?
Not sure but it does it on the HTC Tattoo too aswel as on my Desire.
Yep, this should be OK, I think this is for when pressing a text field doesn't actually bring up the keyboard for some reason..
I've had this problem on every iteration of CM7 thus far where occasionally after entering my message, whether in a text message or search engine, the keyboard will stay maximized rather than disappearing as it normally would. The only way I can get rid of it is to press back and reenter my search or exit by pressing the home key and then navigate back. Anyone else encountered this?

try pressing t and then swiping down. you need to press for about half a second before swiping. also try holding the menu key.

Well at that point he'd have to press back, because long pressing the key brings up the keyboard; unless I interpreted it incorrectly.

not a long press. about half a second. then swipe your finger down to the spacebar. the keyboard will disappear on stock gb kb. or just hold the menu button. it will also disappear.

It is happening because sometimes the alt is pressed down for no reason I think.
This has happened to me a few times, it's very annoying. I would press on one of the hardware keyboard letters and it would launch Search or Calendar (different instances).
Hasn't happened after rebooting.
anybody else having problems with there physical keyboard? It doesnt happen all the time but sometimes when im typing with it, certain buttons will start opening shortcuts. Once I restart the phone it goes back to normal but its starting to get annoying!

It happens to me every now and then. When you hold down the search button and hit certain keys it acts like a shortcut. Search + g = gmail. I don't have to restart the phone, just hit the search button to clear up the stuck key/input. Also I think you can disable these shortcuts in the settings menu.

I recently got an S4 and am very unhappy with the physical push home button. I wish it was a capacitive button.
I HATE the physical home button!
Are there any fixes that can make the capacitive touch screen above and below the home button work to make it so that I don't have to hit my phone when I want to use the home button?
Its slower to use <endless S Voice complaints>
Its usage is inconsistent with the other capacitive buttons <requires more physical force>
Incompatible with pen use
It is more likely to break than a capacitive button
Its more likely to get dust and dirt and lint inside your device
It cost more to manufacture and assemble
Why would they make this a physical button? What's the point? So many down-sides, no up-sides that I can think of. Was Samsung only copying the iPhones physical button?
The one good reason to have another physical button on the phone is for recovery. You need a button to press since the touch screen requires drivers and more software that recovery does not have.
If only Nexus 4 had LTE and sd card. =((((((((((((

I'm sure someone will figure out a way to add the Navigation bar like the Nexus devices. Warning, that navigation bar will burn it's image on the screen over time. That's one of the reasons I decided to get rid of my Galaxy Nexus.

I agree, this is the biggest letdown for me coming from the S2 T989. It really is annoying, with no good reason to exist that I can think of. Hopefully the S5 will go back to the S2 way of doing things.
There isn't really any point to ranting about it now. Id suggest using Swipe home button app if you don't like the physical home button. I personally doesn't like it but im sure it works well for some people, I don't like capacitive home buttons either. My reason is, when I'm watching a video or playing a game, accidentally touching the home button brings you back to the homescreen which is quite annoying. I prefer physical over capacitive. That's just my opinion though

I like the physical home button. Capacitive home doesn't work for me. And for the s5 they probably won't change the home button.

Thanks for the suggestion! I will check out that app and maybe it will do what I want.

Theres many ROMS available that let you replicate the nexus Navigation bar, or you can mod the stock OS to allow you to do that as well. You can also disable the function of the physical home button if you wish as well. I have nothing against the physical home button and personally prefer it, and i tried the nexus navigation bar and it worked perfect however it felt like a waste of screen space when i could just disable it and use the built in buttons.
