This doesn't happen with my international note. The hardware buttons stay lit along as the screen is on. Also, dock mode activates BUT if you hit the back button......how the heck do you get back in it????
With international note you hit the home button twice, BUT YOU CAN'T DO THAT IF YOU DON'T HAVE THAT BUTTON......thanks att
Goof

Did you try hit the home button only once? At least that's how it works on Captivate. On my AT&T SGS2, there isn't any dock app home screen. So, it really doesn't matter. The only thing the dock does for my SGS2 is re-direct the audio.
Isn't there an option to double-tap the Note to enable voice recognition in the Voice talk settings? Not quite sure I understood your OP though, maybe that's not what you're looking for. Or maybe it is and it will activate every time you go over a speed bump...
If you put the phone in the dock and lock it in with the slide connector it goes into dock mode. You can hit the back button and it will exit to tw. The car/dock mode is still active in the pull down menu. If you click that is turns off dock mode. Then there is no way to put it back in dock mode unless you open the dock and reconnect it. With the international note you could push the hardware home button twice and it would go in dock mode even if it wasn't in the dock.

Does anyone know where the options are for the kickstand? I can't get anything to come on the screen when i open it. My screen rotates but stays on the homes creen with no options.
Wont work if you are using an alternate launcher like LPP. Other wise its under display settings, toggle kick stand on.

Yes it will work just fine. I was referring to the options that pop up for you to select while in kick-stand mode.
I use go.launcher and when I open kickstand I then have to hit the home button to bring up the clock

I use go launcher and I can't get the default desk clock to show no matter what I try.
What about being able to turn the screen side ways without the kick stand up? I like to turn my phone side ways and have the home screen long ways.
any ideas?
(everything else turns when i turn the phone, ie text browser option screen most programs, just not the home screen, unless the kick stand is out?)

Launcher Pro lets you do this, but you loose the kickstands activation of the desk top mode.I've made a shortcut on one of my homescreens for the desktop when I want it.

With LP, you get an option to put an activity on your homescreen just like you would for a widget or application. Long press a homescreen, select shortcut, select activity, select desk home, select desk home.

I'm using Launcher Pro and the kickstand option works fine for me. When I open the kickstand, it asks if I want to go into widget clock/kickstand mode. Is that not what happens for other people?

It didn't used to work for me, that's why I made the shortcut, but I just tried it and it worked. I wonder if this has to do with me flashing the Laser P-ROM yesterday which has the HDMI webtop hack. Do you have this hack installed? I also noticed I get a notification that I'm connected to multimedia station even though I'm not when the kickstands activates. I didn't get that message before.
Anyone out there have a docking station for their X2?
I've noticed that whenever in the dock and the middle of a phone call if you need to bring up the dial pad it shows up behind the button at the bottom. Before the phone call, the dial pad is off to the left hand side you get to dial your numbers. It's once your connected if you need to bring it back up to enter digits.
This is only happening when in landscape mode, which of course is most of the time when using a dock.
I think that's probably my number 1 problem. Yank it out of the dock, flip it right side up, use the dial pad, put it back in the dock...
Sent from my MB870 using XDA App
Same thing here. The dialer is behind the End Call and other buttons.
I don't think this is to crazy, thinking back on the blur Roms the pad was smaller or off to the side. Actually, when you start to dial, the dialer is off on the side, if it were kept that way, problem solved.
Wonder what other cm7's look like.

Looking for dialers on the market. I really don't want to do that. Looks like they're all in Chinese!
Edit: not worth it. I'll just remove from the dock when I need to enter additional digits.

Never thought about this before but if you hold the "4square" option button (all the way to the left), the keyboard pops up, you can select the number keys from there and get your DTMF.
What's that button really called?
First of all, loving my new note. However I noticed that when I press the home key at the bottom, it'll take half a second to a second to actually start the transition to home.
I'm on the latest saurom, can anyone offer me a solution to make it more instantaneous?
Sent from my SGH-I717R using XDA
Clear your cache in CWM maybe. Otherwise back up your apps with titanium backup and reflash.

Hmm OK I'll try that, just to make sure, my case isn't normal right? How instantaneous is the home button for others?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using XDA
I noticed a slight lag in returning to home using the stock launcher as well, so if you're using that it may be the culprit. I use ADW EX and have no lag anywhere.
I don't own a Note, but many Samsung ROMs have a delayed home button response because it waits for a moment to see if you're going to double-tap the home button, which starts the voice command app. Over in the Galaxy S II forums, we use a tweak to disable this "wait for the double-tap" feature to get rid of the home button lag (on Gingerbread ROMs anyway). Just letting you know in case there's a similar tweak available for the Note.
Ohh that makes a lot of sense thanks, I'm guessing there's no fix like that for the note as of yet. If anyone knows of one please let me know.
Edit: Found it! Its in deluxe settings to turn off double click, now home button is super fast ))

I use go launcher, and I don't know if it got updated or something but every time I press the home soft key instead of going to my home Page it goes into this Page and I can't change the settings.
Here is a pic of the screen it goes when I press the home softkey
UPDATE: AFTER 2.5 DAYS AFTER I PLUG IT ON THE SAMSUNG CHARGER THAT CAME WITH THE PHONE FOR 2 HOURS, I WAS PLAYING SLACKER RADIO, AND NOW THE HOME BOTTON GOES TO MY HOME HOMESCREEN, SO THE PHONE DOES NOT THINK IT IS ON DOCK MODE ANYMORE.
HYPOTHESIS: I believe that the phone left over sweat on the usb got dried today after having time went by and the charger current could of helped too... Perhaps slacker radio had something to do with it lol jks, awesome app though.
WHAT I LEARNED : GO TO THE GYM WITH MY OLD SAMSUNG GALAXY S OR MP3 PLAYER
Thanks for all the help and Moderators can close threat and change name of topic to "Phone stuck on dock mode" since I don't know how to, it was not the go launcher problem and it may help somebody else. Cheers
NEW UPDATE: PHONE BACK AGAIN ON DOCK MODE I GUESS IS GOING ON AND OFF WHENEVER IT WANTS

Don't know why its doing it but thats the Homedock screen. Thanks what pops up when you put your phone in a dock.

Maybe I misunderstand but it couldn't be as simple as screen pinching on your home screen to reveal all your windows then selecting the home icon of the screen you want as the default... is it?
Oh you might want to post this in the QA forum next time

Do you have Tibu installed? Can you freeze the car dock app to see what happens?
When did it start and what where you doing when it did. maybe an app you installed?
Press menu button. At the bottom left is a setting to change number of screens. Each screen has a little symbol that you can press and whichever one you press will turn green. That will be your home screen. Then go to preferences and set the action of the home button.

I don't have tibu, I can't find an app called car dock, and I searched under management applications but did not see it.
I did not download anything new, and what I did before it did this was put the phone on my pocket and I went to the gym for 4 hours, when I finish the phone had kinda sweat wet, not crazy much but enough that got inside the back cover speaker hole and there was some sweat around the battery.
What I think is the problem is that maybe alot of sweat got inside the usb port and now the phone thinks is plugged in a dock....

This is the screen I get (as stated above) when my Note is in the Samsung Desktop charger. If I remove it from the Samsung Desktop charger it works fine. While in the charger I have to push the back softkey to return to the Home screen.
Any ideas? How do I freeze the dock app, but I read it should clean or clear the usb port, idk how, but please help :s

Just got my Note II; coming from DNA. I have no complaints about the DNA, the battery lasted all day, but I realized I needed even more battery life than that. I do miss the screen honestly. Now that that is out of the way:
I got a minor question. When I hold down the button on the left at the bottom of the phone to bring up Google Now, Google Now pops up, but so does the keyboard (like the search box is already selected). I know I can hit the back button to remove the keyboard and see all my cards on the full screen, but how can I make it so that Google Now pops up without the keyboard (unless I manually tap the search box)? The keyboard covers my cards .
Would somebody give that a try for me, and see if their keyboard pops up by default when they go into Google Now?
Thanks!
My keyboard pops up but I didnt even know that got you to google now ive been going it by holding home and clicking google at the bottom

My keyboards popup too. Not sure how anyone's doesn't or wouldn't...
Holding the menu button is to get to Google search (which integrates with Now) . That's why the keyboard auto pops up. Google Now is when you hold Home button and press Google.

Ahhh I see it makes sense (I just noticed the first replier was holding the home then hitting google, but I didn't try it). Works good; thanks!
