Hi, I have a tab 3 8.0. Since I've opened the box, the home button makes different sounds when pushed at different angles. When I push the home button directly on the center of it, it makes a clicking sound after being pushed some times are louder than other times. When pushed from the sides of the button it is a soft sound. Anybody else notice?? Am I crazy? lol :silly:
Just want to know what other people think or how their tab reacts to being pushed. I've seen a few post found on google but most that i saw were about cleaning the button.

I have the T-315 and the home button is silent when pushed from any angle.
good luck
Thanks. I have the 310. I've got a few friends that have note, s3 and s4. The note always makes a different sound whenever its pushed and the s3 and s4 have similar sounds to the note and sometimes does the same as my tablet.
Buuut... In saying all that it doesn't help fix the button so I will have to bring it back and see what the store says. I already returned one tab 3 due to the bottom right corner of the tab being scratched/dented right out of the box.

Hi all. New to GN2 so if this has already answered elsewhere I apologize.
When using S-Notes my wrist keeps hitting the back button on the bottom right of the of the phone and force closing the note I am working on. I wish Samsung would just program the phone to disable ALL TOUCH INPUT if the pen is close to the screen but until they do, is there a mod or a rom that will allow S-Notes to rotate 180 so I can hold the phone upside down as I write and avoid the back button?
Thanks in advance.

Keep your pen closer is all I can say. I'm the opposite opinion, on my GN2 the menu, back and even hardware home buttons DO NOT WORK when my pen tip is close to screen. It really annoys me because I'll try to back and have to take the stupid pen away to get it to work.
Same, if you can see the s pen's mini cursor on the screen, menu, home, and back buttons do not work.

Thanks guys. I turn the mini cursor off because I find it annoying but i'll try keeping the own closer to the screen.

Hello, awhile ago, something like a dock suddenly showed up on the screen, I could drag it to the side or to the bottom. I took my Note 2 to a store to ask the Sales to remove the dock-like thing. It appeared again suddenly (see the vertical dock-like item on the left of the screen) . What is it? How can I get rid of it? Thanks.

It's part of the Samsung TouchWiz software.
Just press and hold the back button (next to the home button) and it will disappear. If you want it back, hold the back button again.
Got it. Thank you very much.
In the quick settings panel there is a multi window toggle. You can switch it on and off there so it won't keep coming on

Hello, n00b here!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S II (SGH-T989 T-Mobile), that has four 'hard softkeys', that is, touchbuttons (menu, home, back, search) outside the display area [no physical clicky Home button], and can't for the life of me, or with bad google-fu, figure out how to make the Home button take me right back to the home screen (launcher). When I press it once I just get a haptic 'bzz', and nothing at all happens. When I double-click it, as I have set in the settings, it goes to Task Switcher, from where I then can reach the home screen by tapping outside the miniaturized windows of running apps.
But, how to I make a single click go directly to the home screen?
Ideally I'd like to have the four buttons be menu=menu, home=homescreen, back=back, search=taskswitcher. Installing a specific app for it (that preferably won't eat up screen real estate with on-display softkeys), another launcher, another Settings app etc, is all okay by me as long as it fixes this major nag.
I don't get to choose other than a preset list in Settings, though. :/
System info is SAMSUNG-SGH-T989, CyanogenMod 11-20140506-NIGHTLY-hercules, Kernel 3.0.101-DIABLO-3.3, launcher Trebuchet 1.0.
(As a little gripe and boo, CM-11 on the Kindle Fire worked wonderfully, where the three on-display softkeys for taskswitch/home/back did just what I wanted them to. I can't see any reason why a JB'd phone would be unable to remap the keys to a select very few options just because they happen to be outside the actual display area. Especially as Home doesn't lead to the Home Screen. :/ )
Tons of grapefruitgrateful for any help here!

Problem solved, good enough for me - installing Hellybean and getting rid of all KitKat related junk.
Suddenly the phone works like it's supposed to, whee!

SGH-T989 Galaxy S II. Home keys aren't working. Sent phone in for charging port repairs. Sent phone back to replace touch keypad flex cable. Buttons have worked intermittently since. They also light up intermittently. I was hoping this was software related. Kies says the firmware is the latest. Any suggestions? The phone is for my 10yr old. Don't really want to invest in something new for her right now, just for games!

Hello everyone, I just got a Tab S 8.4 SM-T700 and the home button seems to only work when pressed exactly on the center. When pressing the button a little to the side, I will hear a slight click, however, nothing happens.
Is anybody else seeing this issue or is it considered "normal operation"? I also have a Galaxy S5, which has a very similar home button that works every time, regardless of where you press.
Thanks!
I have the same problem but I don't know if it is a problem or not...do you have found something

Hi domy_deg, thanks for the response... I guess the fact that you also have the same problem could suggest that it's normal, or maybe we just got the same defect on our devices. I still haven't found anything else, but if I do I'll post it here.
Ok me too...but I think it's normal or I hope because if it was a problem the home button doesn't work ever just like the iPhone 4 we must press very hard the button to work
what do you think about it?
I started to think it was normal, but it seems that I don't get a response from the home button really often...
Same here but with Galaxy Tab 4 10.1
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.
