"Select Home" dialogue keeps popping up very frequently when I'm pressing the home button even though I've selected Home as default.
Anyone knows what causes this or how I can remove EasyHome?
I had the same problem when I had a widget for Smart Calendar Pro on my home screen. I've reported it to the makers of the app

I was having this issue too and the culprit was the Hotmail app... It's a bug in the Android system if any app has a language call Mata data (or something like that) it will forget your default settings of your home launcher.
I remove the Hotmail app and haven't had a problem ever since. If it wasn't for Nova launcher telling me which app was causing it, I would have probably returned my perfectly good running device.
If you don't have the Hotmail app installed, I recommend you use nova launcher and let it alert you which app is causing the issue. Uninstall that app reboot your phone and you should be good to go and then remove nova launcher if you so choose to.
Thanks for the suggestions guys.
I installed Nova Launcher (used it earlier but decided to give the default launcher a go for this new phone), but didn't really see where it could tell me what the culprit was.
Anyways, I managed to reproduce it pretty effectively.
Long press home button
Opens up Google Now
Short press home button
Select Home dialogue appears
I had the Google Home widget on my main home screen, removed that now.
Looks like the dialogue does not appear anymore, guess I'll know by the end of the day.

Found it under Nova Settings:

Uninstalling the app worked, thanks guys!
it appeared on mine after installing the 10j 'leaked' kdz.
could initiate the prompt as per the above steps above to long press hold to open google now then quick press home
removed it by uninstalling "Apps" application that appeared with 10j.
Shook187 u r awesome man
Thank you
Removing Netcom Apps solved the problem for me as well!
Thank you so much @shook187 and @Kentarii
Great suggestion!

I get the same thing.....had my phone rest twice. Didn't work. They sent me a new phone and not it does same thing. Love the phone except for this problem. THeir tech support sucks & all they say is send phone in with no loner for 7-9 days!! THey need to send a fix out in an update!!
Thank you so much shook187 for your suggestion. It worked for my LG G4.
1. I've installed the Nova launcher.
2. Then tried to press the home button number of times choosing the Nova Launcher.
3. Next I clicked on the Nova Launcher home screen and kept my finger until the setting wheel appeared.
4. I clicked on the setting and at the top was displayed notification ' Fix it app causing a problem'.
5. I clicked on the notification and selected uninstall.

some reason my senseui wont stay as default home button action... whenever i open the quick menu then click the home again... it will ask me to use htc sense or launcher... and i checked the default use for htc sense ui... is there anyway to fix this?
if you click set as default it should work, you can always just go uninstall launcher, or download home switch(er) from market.
i checked, and looks like it was an app, b/c i even reflashed and same issue right when i installed the newest qik
Weird, this happens to me too. Anytime I long press the home button and open one of the recent apps I lose my default launcher and have to re-select it...
You think it may be Qik?
*edit- It's definitely the qik update. I just uninstalled it and the bug went away, reinstalled and its back.
yea... qik updates are ****ty for some reason...
has anyone noticed how the evo battery will hold a charge at certain percentages... and drop quickly at other percentages quickly?
this issue just happened to me, thanks for the tip about qik, uninstalled and all is fine.
Same problem and solution here.
Qik sucks. I hope a GTalk app with video chat and facetime/skype support is in the works.
Uninstalled Qik.. Home button keeps defaults again.
Just wanted to give my 2 cents that I have had this issue also.
When I hold down the home button to switch apps.. I see the sense ui icon listed and this effectively resets/loses my default behavior for my home button.
As soon as I uninstalled Qik.. I dont see the Sense UI icon listed anymore while doing home long press. It also remembers my home default behavior.
This is really becoming annoying! I click the Home button, then I check the set default and click Launcher Pro. For a couple of uses, the Home button automatically takes me to Launcher Pro. Then, I'll be web browsing or checking email, click Home, and the options pop-up comes up again asking which launcher i want to use. This happens over and over again. I've even tried sing HTC Sense UI and ADW, same problem. Any possible solutions?
(btw, I'm fully rooted w/ NAND unlocked and I'm running Damage Control 3.2.3 and I've tried uninstalling HTC Sense UI as well as a few other bloatware, which helped things become much more stable, unfortunately this problem still pops up. Oh, 1 more thing, launching web links seem to always ask for which browser to use also, even if I check a default, repeatedly. Could this be related?)
Did you search for the answer?
It's the qik update, uninstall it or reset your default home every time you long press the home button and choose a recently open program.
of course I searched, but I couldn't figure out how to do a boolean AND (I finally was able to find + using google and it works nicely. xda would go a long way to include a little tutorial on how to best use forum search on the advanced search page) so my search wasn't fruitful. I uninstalled Qik. It helped the problem. Thanks for the tip!
I think it happened after buying the Launcher Pro Plus home screen replacement. I have since uninstalled it but depending on the app that I'm in, when I hit the soft "home" button on the phone, the system asks me which home screen application I want to use. Sense is set as the default in the application settings so I have no clue why this happens. Anyone experience this?
If sense is set as the default and launcher pro is uninstalled it should stop prompting you to choose a default have you tried a restart or a battery pull?

When that happens again and you get the prompt check the box you want it to default to and that should set it. Make sure the check box is highlighted.

I'm sure I've pulled the battery since then but I'll try again. And yes I do put a check mark in the default box when I am prompted. Funny thing is it only happens from some applications and while I'm in certain menus in certain apps. I'll see if I can pin point when it happens but it happens enough to irritate me. Shouldn't happen at all. Maybe I'll uninstall all home screen replacements and see if that stops it. Maybe if there's no choice but Sense, it will stop. If it doesn't I dont know what to do.
Just did a few more tests, Doesn't happen from the Internet app, Market but if I load up Astro it happens if I hit the home button or if I try to back myself out of the app to the home screen with the back button. However, it seems that if I place the checkmark in the default box when I'm prompted, then it doesn't happen again for that app. Strange huh? You would think this would be global but its acting as if it's per app.
Uninstall qik.

yeah, the new qik update was my problem too.
My fix was to load the latest OTA. Weird huh?
I'm rooted so I don't have the latest ota update. I removed the latest qik update. Let's see if that helps

Install CM6. Fixed it for me.
the best way to replicate the problem for me is to launch an app, hold the home button while in the app, launch another app from the list, and then push the home button once.
The bug triggers when you use the recent application list by holding the home button.
I also noticed that HTC Sense would show up in the recent list ever since I update qik.
Just wanting to see if anyone is experiencing...
1. If you go to the dialer (from the home screen) - my previously called contacts do not populate. Meaning when I go to use the "smart dial" (# pad to find contacts) nothing comes up. This is how I usually call people.. so its quite annoying.
Side note - I can get them to show up, if I tap a single number then hit the back button (not the back capacitive touch button) - the one thats in the dialer.
2.When using the power bar widget (the one that comes with it) every time I click to turn on the GPS I am prompted with a message telling me:
"Be selecting Standalone GPS services, you are enabling access.."
I was certainly not prompted every time with my original incredible. Furthermore, this prompt seems to disrupt the power widget causing the bar underneath to not light up (signifying its on), even though it is.
I have since switched to Power control Plus which fixed the bar not lighting up issue - but am still prompted every-time.
Are you using LauncherPro? I was experiencing the same issue when using the LauncherPro default Phone dock shortcut with the previous call history not showing. I just "re-routed" the phone shortcut to the phone app and all is well.
Hope that helps.

Any fix for this? Is it present in custom ROMs?
Occasionally I'll have a problem where the "app info" does not appear at the top of the launcher while dragging apps around. It will be there one day, and the next it won't. I've attached pictures of my options when long holding an app.
This sucks when a app isn't responding and swiping it away doesn't close it. Instead of just long holding it and dragging it to app info, I have to open app drawer, go-to settings, go-to apps, find the app, then hit force close.
Is there some setting I accidentally enable and disable occasionally? Using official pixel launcher.
I noticed this too -- I went to developer options, turned the main switch off, and back on, and the rebooted. My "App Info" drag option came back.
