After updated to 4.4, first of my version is 757, I have found that when I press "back" button to quit an app and want return to the home screen, sometime I will see the other app shown which I have opened before, but it will only show half second, and then return to home screen, anyone got to the same problem? Thanks.
OS: Android 4.4.4 (108)
Launcher: Apex Launcher Pro
There's a bug in Android, but the correct way to return to the homescreen is by using the home button anyway. Using the back button is very different, depending on the app.

It doesn't so it every time, but frequently when I'm in an app and I press the home button it takes me to the screen that is two positions to the right of the actual home screen. Any ideas why this would happen?

I suppose it might depend on your ROM if you have a custom one, and the launcher type you are using. If you are using Launcher Pro/Plus, from the home screen click menu/preferences/home screen settings...there's a button there that says DEFAULT SCREEN...then you pick the screen you want by number, again depending on how many scroll-able home screens you have.
Your "randomness" may be due in part to what home screen you were on at the time, I had that happen to me before I discovered to make said change in the preferences. So if you're two screens to the right, open an app, use it and then click home...you're returned to the home DESKTOP (if you will)...not the default home screen. When you boot and restart, etc...the screen the phone loads when it completely boots, generally is considered your "default home screen".
I have a stock Evo, rooted. no launcher is installed. regular sense. and I have no widgets or icons on the screen that it takes me to. so I know that is not where I started.

ahh, well I won't be of much help..I rooted my evo the day I got it and went with launcher pro plus the same day. I don't even remember what the stock sense is like..sorry. In my defense, however, if you root you now know you have the answer you need. ;-) Also Launcher Pro lets you customize the home button so if you're on a side pane, and press it..it loads the default home screen, press it again and it gives you the multi pane preview. Just so you know...
There's 7 screens, maybe you set up all your widgets etc on the wrong screen lol. By default pressing the home key will take you to the (1 2 3 "4" 5 6 7) forth screen.
Yes my main screen is 4. It's taking me to 6. However, I have paid more attention and it's not the home button it's the back button that is doing this. I'm using Folder Organizer to launch my apps so could that be why it think I came from screen 4?

As the title. I don't use a lockscreen and when I want to use my phone I just want to press a button & return to my last position.
The home button as it takes me back to my launcher.
I can't use the lockscreen button because the button needs to be pushed quite hard due to being in an Otterbox case.
Any ideas?

Are you using stock TouchWiz launcher or something else? I know some like Nova, etc., have the ability to assign what the Home button does. If you set it to "do nothing" - maybe it will just wake the phone and you'll still be in your last position?
Home button should wake your screen by default.
The home button also send me back to the launcher. It doesn't simply reopen the last active state.
I'm using nova launcher. I the Hutton crions it has only works when I'm at the launcher, not in the active app.

I'm not sure then. Button remapping is sorta what you're looking for but can't really get that on stock.
Lockscreen might be your solution for now? :silly:
I tried remapping. It just disabled my home/menu/back buttons. lol
I'm weary of custom roms for privacy & stability issues. I've tried some before but I feel as though it's too easy to slip in a back door without my knowledge. But I'm also a little paranoid. So maybe I should just suck it up and switch

Hi all, i have updadated my note 2 today to 4.3 via kies , i'm using as default launcher Nova. All was working correct before i opened google now app. From that moment my home button long press go to google now app. i can't go to "recents app tab" WTF is this? in nova launcher options i set view recents app but google now it's still opening with long press how can i fix that? it's annoying!
When I wake up my phone with the home key, it usually takes me the the "recent apps" screen (as if I long-pressed home), so I have to press 'back' to get rid of it. I just want it to turn the screen on.
I am running Slimkat 4.4.2 with Nova launcher. I can't find a setting on the rom or Nova to disable this.
It did the same thing when I was on Whomp rom (with Nova).
It doesn't seem to do this on the stock launcher. Is this a known Nova issue?
Anyone else have this issue, or a solution?
Thanks!
Mike
It could be nova launcher. I use apex and don't have this issue

I'm using CM 11 and since it's using 4.4.2 Kit Kat so I don't know if SlimKat have the same... you may solve it if you go to your phone settings - buttons - home button and put a check there. There are other adjustments under buttons setting you can find there too.
Good luck!
I am on latest update and using Nova Launcher. All of a sudden today my recent apps option changed. The Cross button was replaced by a Close Apps button and there is no Split Screen options. How to get back to earlier options?
Found the reason, it was due to Oneplus Launcher update. Split screen option comes after long press on app
