Ever since I updated to 4.4.4 on ATT when I'm on another page on my home screen & hit the home button instead of going to the home page OK google opens upit won't go to the home page like it used to & I also have the "open via the home key" unchecked. Is there anyway to fix that ? Need help :confused:
 
Yes there is, I forget how at the moment, my phone is busy downloading a multi-gByte set of maps for CoPilot Pro.

I had to do that on my phone also. My phone now works like this, Home Key once goes to my Homepage. Long Press brings up Hello Google, haven't used the Twice click in so long don't remember what it does.

Home key once opens up hello google on my phone it doesn't go to the homepage. If you remember how to fix it let me know much appreciated.
 
I've been looking for an hour, even went into Nova Launcher to see if I could find it there.

I did all 3 key press styles,
1 = Homepage
2 clicks = S Voice
Long Press = Google Now

I know that I saw it in a menu setting somewhere, but it has been so long ago, I can't recall now. I should have put it in my notebook...... but, back then, I wasn't good at taking notes.
Now I do when I make changes..... usually :)

little notes like this we can never remember where to find them

June 8, 2014 Turned off SYNC for everything in Gallery Options, this has been bugging me to death. Finally got rid of it. Did not realize there were so many Sync connections to Gallery. Kept asking me to Login to Picaso, and then Google, etc..... That crap will kill a battery..

I guess if I don't want to do a factory reset, I'm stuck with this issue until ATT decides we can all get the lolipop upgrade. I've about had it with Samsung!

Just out of curiosity why have you had it with Samsung, they did not write the ATT version of Android, the Samsung version works well, it's when the carriers get their hands on it the problems start, go shout at ATT just maybe they might listen. ATT and especially Verizon seem to have the knack of ruining any version of an operating system. Phil

Direct ota install scripts clear cache and Dalvik?

I don't think so. Not at all.

It's still provided by your carrier not Samsung. Phil

It's still deficient in the glorious Samsung installer script used by everyone world wide - including your update versions and including the one that the carriers use as their template provided to them by Samsung.

If Samsung won't fix their defect, then blame the carrier - that's exactly what you've said. And yes, over 99% of the AT&T version of TouchWiz and everything to do with it is absolutely written by Samsung.

The problems don't start with AT&T, they happen the same way to all Samsungs world wide.

Your entire point is out of order.

The off-topic argument is finished, thank you.
