Help back button not always working

[jttierney1]

I have no idea why it does this but sometimes when I touch my 'back' button a Google icon will appear and won't allow me to 'back' out of the page I'm on. Has anyone heard of this? What it's called? Most importantly, how to stop this??

Thanks!

Welcome to Android Forums.

Are you swiping up when you touch the key and not noticing that you are going it? That will call up Google Search.
