Home Screen Gets Stuck - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

sometimes when I press the home button and my phone exits the app, I get stuck at the home screen. the screen is non-responsive, as are the on screen buttons. I have to press the power button to lock the phone and then unlock it again. Does anyone know about this and does anyone have any recommendations?

That's happened to me before, too. It's like when you exited the app, it went straight to the screen lock - except the screen show the lock screen, nor does it dim.

unlock screen leads to black home screen

So I've noticed this recently and its starting to get annoying. The phone will be off and then when I press the home button to wake the screen, I'll unlock the screen then I get a black background for a few seconds then my wallpaper shows up. I love the phone but its starting to get annoying. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

[Q] Can you only use the power button to unlock the screen?

Can anyone unlock the phone using home button ?
it only works with the power button for me. The home button works when the screen is on but not when , the screen is turned off the phone flashes for brief second then screen goes off, i noticed this before i downgraded and after it has always been like this, its like I am double tapping it when I am not . I get the same response if i double tap the power button
Just to be clear. Are you asking if the screen turns on and stays on after pressing the Home button while the screen is turned off?
I'm on unlocked 3.6.8 and if my screen is off, I can press the home button and the screen turns on (still have to slide to unlock or enter PIN). However, the screen does stay on for a period of time and I can sit and look at the lock screen, view the dynamic perspective on it, etc until the timer eventually shuts the screen off again.
If the sensor located below the front camera is covered up with a screen protector or anything else then you can have problems turning the phone on with the home button or the camera button.
All screen protectors with a hole for the sensor should work on the phone. Screen protectors without a hole for the sensor may or may not work. My screen protector doesn't have a hole for the sensor but I don't have a problem turning the phone on with the home button. But if I cover the sensor with my thumb I can not turn my phone on with the home button.

Screen locked to all black while on call with headphones on

While on a call with my headphones on, my S9 screen would lock and go black after about 20 sec. of no activity. I was unable to long press the home button (had to guess where it was b/c screen was all black) and no other buttons worked EXCEPT for the shortcut button which opened bixby. My only option to unlock the screen was to press the shortcut button and screen flip back to the phone screen. I have my unlock with home button setup on with hard press, screen timeout at 5 mins., and smart stay active. Anyone else have their S9 screen lock to all black while on a call with their headphones and not be able to wake it?

How can I unlock phone and see the default home screen every time?

I have a few home screens on my 5T. If I am at any of the home screen and then the phone is locked, when I swipe to unlock the phone, the phone will show me the same home screen that it was displaying before the phone was locked. I need to press the home button to go to the default home screen.
How can I unlock phone and see the default home screen every time? I mean if the screen was at any of the home screens when the phone gets locked, once I unlock I want it to display the default home screen.
(Note: the default home screen I am talking about is the screen that you see if you press the home button)
Of course the phone shows up the last screen used...
Lmao. The stupid questions people ask now days. I can't believe you created a thread for this.
