When I m eg in the Market or running Internet and press the Home Button I don t return to the home screen anymore. I must have changed something but don t now what.....
no ideas anyone?
Ideas about what?! You're not describing your problem. What happens when you press Home?
I only see the screen 'flicker' 1 time
Have you tried rebooting the phone? Is your phone rooted? Is it unlocked or branded? C'mon, give some more details if you want help!
You might try installing "Home Switcher" from the Market and see if it helps.
Rebooting does not help. Original 2.1 rom, installing home switcher does not help either. Did I clean install last night, home button worked fine for some hours and after this there s again the same problem => no returning to the home screen and only a short 'screen flicker' when pressing the home button.
I would speak to HTC if that did not work. They should repair it for free because its under warranty.
It's unlikely to be a hardware issue if it sometimes works.
When using Home Switcher, what apps show up in the list? (might be a rogue app that is stealing the home button function by registering itself as a launcher application).
Do you have any apps installed? (you said you have done a clean install but it's not clear if you installed any apps after that; please note that you might have enabled backup to your sd card [Settings -> Privacy] and that even after a clean install some of your settings will he restored from that backup).

I'd suggest booting into safe mode as this will stop all 3rd party applications from running. If it works from there, it seems pretty likely that the issue is related to an application you have installed.
To get into safe mode, power off your device, and then power back up again whilst holding down the menu button, and keep it held down until the phone has completely booted. Once booted, you should find it says "safe mode" in the bottom left corner of the screen.
Note that if you do this, all your 3rd party widgets on the home screens will stop functioning - even when you have exited safe mode. You will need to delete and re-add them.

Dave

Very good idea/advise.
This worked for me
Reading through this thread made me wonder whether the fact my Home and Search buttons suddenly weren't working could have been caused by an app I installed the day before (No Lock).
Before uninstalling it I decided to give it a test. It was on "Locking Disabled". I set to "Locking Enabled" and tested the Home button - voilà, it worked. Tested the Search button, it worked too.
Set the app back to "Locking Disabled" - Home and Search buttons still working.
My buttons, home and both volume buttons are dying. I think it's just wear and tear really which is bad because I've had it less than a year.
I use Chinese as a secondary language and had therefore installed Google Pinyin IME. The problem is that every time I use it to input text my DHD hangs as soon as I press send. It doesn't hang completely, I can stilll press home key to go to home and long press to go to last used apps but that's about it.
I tried doing a reset, but no use. Any help would be highly appreciated.
P.S - this happens with other keyboard / SMS apps as well for e.g. super keyboard.
Hello everyone, I just got my LG G4 LG-H812 and the first thing I did was download some apps. I went on youtube to look for apps that can better my experience with the phone. I downloaded the key plus app to change my volume up button to activate my flashlight instead of the quick note app. It was working fine at first but then my phone started acting weird. It was automatically answering calls and that got really annoying, so I did a factory reset to see if that would work. After the factory reset it's still answering automatically and now my volume up button doesn't work when the screen is locked. I tried reinstalling key plus and allocated the volume up key to turn the flashlight on but now even that doesn't work. The auto answer is also set to off and I've tried pretty much everything. It's getting really frustrating so If anyone out there has an answer or a suggestion for me I would greatly appreciate it, thanks.
Do you use the Circle app things?
Key plus doesn't work for me if I let the cover turn off the screen.
If I turn it off with the off button, the back buttons work fine.
What is that exactly? Is it an app that you have to download seperetely or does it come with the phone
Hello everyone, is here any posibility to turn off Google Assistant when long press home button?. On Oreo I pressed Advanced Features - there I find Google and I can disable it. Now I can't find it anywhere - was this option dissabled?.
you should be able to disable it in the Google app settings under Assistant tab
Thnx for answer but everything is gray there, so I can't switch nothing. Also, the best case will be if is any possibility to don't start google assistant when long press home button - that's the main problem. When I use gestures, lot of time I want to go back to home screen but the google assistant will start. Any ideas?

if you don't use the google app at all, just disable it trough the application settings of the phone, this will stop assistant at 100%
After a handful of weeks with my Pixel 6 Pro I'm still getting the hang of getting my phone back to the way I like it. I re-enabled the buttons at the bottom of the screen for a variety of reasons. The biggest one being that for me gestures are kind of difficult due to some problems with my hand. But now, for the life of me, I cannot figure out how to press and hold the home button to get Google Assistant pop up. I don't want to do it with the power button and I've already disabled all that. I'd like my tried and true home button functionality. I know this works because my pixel 3 XL with Android 12 still had it. I just can't figure out how to get it re-enabled. Can anybody tell me what I'm missing in the settings?
Yep I don't want the power button either and the home button on 3 dot navigation is not either lol, Rather odd considering Google is heel bent on their smart assistant and yet it doesn't work with the home button.
