[Q] JB standby home button closes app. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I seem to have this annoying problem. Lets say I am reading an article in some app. Now my phone goes on standby after 1 minute of inactivity. In ICS, I could press the home button and get back to the app I was on. In JB pressing the home button closes the app and brings me back to home screen. Is there a way to disable that?

Yes there is. Go to settings, than developer settings, scroll down to bottom and uncheck "Destroy any activity soon as user leaves is"
Also, check background process limit. If it is set to 0 then select "Standard Limit"

My developer options were off. And none of that was checked anyways. The annoyance started when I updated to JB.

Than really i cant help you, because i dont have that problem. I also have jelly bean installed.

Oh well thanks. Hopefully someone can figure out a way to solve this problem.

Have exactly the same problem. Before Jelly Bean this didn't happen.
I guess I'll just have to get used to waking it up with the power button instead until there's a fix.
Btw I'm running stock 4.1.1.

The problem is that the lock screen has not yet activated, therefore commands are passed to the current app running. You need to use the power button to turn on the screen. Else, search thru the settings for where to change the lock screen to lock immediately the screen the screen goes off. This might help.

yes it helps.you must set the lock screen and it works.but is there any way without look screen to ?

This problem seems to be affecting those who turned off S-Voice
Just go into its setting and enable it to activate via double pressing home button. The problem then goes away in JB.

yes it works ! i have only installed s-voice apk and thats it !

Alternate way to power on the screen?

Hello, I am wondering if there is an alernate method of powering up the screen besides pushing the power button?
I am coming from my Droid X, which would allow me to push the Home button or the Power button to activate the screen, but so far on the RAZR, it appears th Power button is the only way to turn on the screen.
If this is the only way to power it on, does anybody know of way around this to allow the Home button to activate?
Thanks.
Try tap tap app

Thanks for the response. Tried the app and not what I'm looking for. I'm not trying to lock the screen, just turn it on and off. I already use No Lock app to disable the locking, i just want to be able to power on and power off the screen by hitting something other than the power button. Its placement makes it difficult for me.
Widgetlocker may have that option in it's settings. I haven't used WL in a while as it doesn't play nice with the DX2, but I believe it had that option.

Yeah, it does burn some juice unfortunately. Really like the app, but it's glitchy on the DX2 so i uninstalled.
Power on / off or lock/unlock..
Tap tap app does the lock/unlock without any hard keys.

[Q] Some way to auto go to home screen on/after screen off?

I'm not sure I wanna do this but I'd like to try it.
Is it possible? (to auto go to home screen on/after screen off?)
Does anyone know an app that will let you do it?
U mean bypass the lockscreen??
Sent from my MIUI.us Sensation 4G using XDA App
What he means is that an easier way to go to the home screen when you unlock it instead of going to your most recently opened app. I usually do this with widget locker and check "go to homescreen" but sometimes its a hassle because it really depends on what app im using whether or not I want to go to the home screen.
Ok gotcha

You could try using something like Tasker or AutomateIt and setup a profile or rule to automatically go to home screen when the screen is turned on.

Turn off sreen WITHOUT autolock, for ANY lockscreen, not only stock one, desperated!

I am desperated by now. I need a way to disable autolock, but in all lockscreens apps, not only on the one that comes with the phone. I guess what I need is an action like when you are on a call and the screen goes off but the phone is still awake.
For example, I want to use Go Locker, and I have my screen timeout set to 15 seconds. When the 15 seconds passes my screen goes off, but also, Go Locker autotriggers itself. I don't want that to happen because it is annoying as hell to be unlocking all the time.
I have read thoulsands of threads here and in other websites, and I have try tons of apps, all of that with no results.
I have read that you can do what I want with Tasker, but I haven't figured out how.
Please, somebody help me, this issue has been driving me mad for two weeks now!
Thanks in advance and sorry for my english
um can't you just disable the lockscreen?
system settings -> Security -> Screen lock -> select "None"

Haven't you read me? I want to have a lockscreen, especially a custom one, not the ugly uncustomizable system one. For example, as I said, Go Locker. But I also want to prevent the autolock when the screen goes off. I want the lockscreen (any lockscreen) to trigger only when I press the button, and not when the screen goes off. Or at least to trigger itself after a long time, let's say 30 minutes. I need some app or something to turn off the screen just like in calls, but I don't know where else to look at this point...
Have a look in the store for Delayed Lock, it's a rather handy little app. There's a free trial available, the support thread is on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=955092

It only works with the system lockscreen, not with any other lockscreen... it even force you to use a pattern. What if I want to use the swipe method instead?
I tell you people, I think I need to trigger the same effect that happens when you are on a call. The screens disconects but the phone is still awake.
Thanks anyway but I still lost...
You may want to consider using Cyanogenmod since they include several such tweaks. In Settings->Lock Screen->Screen security you can delay the lock by up to 30 minutes if it timed out. Pressing power button engages it immediatly.
Alternatively, take a look at Juice Defender, it also has such an option but if I remember correctly not as customizable.
I use No Lock. Not what you want, but it works great.

Is not that, that is only for system lockscreen ant also, not for swipe lockscreen. I want something that applies to ANY lockscreen, like Go Locker.
I'll try Juice Defender.

Change the title of your thread, before it reaches hundred pages of people chiming in to tell you to go to setting and disable it.
You should made it clear in the title that it is not just for stock lock screen but any.

You want to be able to keep your screen on indefinitely until you close the screen manually?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Yes, I want the screen to go off in 15 seconds for example, but not to lock until I press the power button. Or at least until a minimun time has passed, like 30 minutes.
I want to think that I can do this with Tasker, but I don't know how! Any help?
Why not just use NoLock? It has a toggle. Toggle it on for when you want backgrounding without a lock screen and then turn it off when you want your phone to lock?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I don't want that because of two reasons:
1 - It completely disables the lockscreen and I don't want that. I don't want to be toggling all the time. It's almost the same as unlocking all the time, at least for me.
2 I don't think it works with custom lockscreens.
Thanks anyway.
Try miui with tons of different lock screens and everyone is system. I think this is app specific rrally.. Either you get what you want with system lockscreen or you do a request for the developer of the lockscreen you want to use....
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Sorry mate, just downloaded Golauncher and Golocker to see if I could do this for you, but it seems like the whole process is pretty closed off, I can't find a way for tasker to influence golocker in any way.
Works with widgetlocker though... just sayin'
What works with widgetlocker??

Home button changed

After f***** jb came onto my phone the home button now exits my app after coming from turned off screen. Hate it! I dont want to enable s-voice because it makes the home button lag... Is there any other way to restore home button behaviour to ICS?

Use the power button instead.
Another option is to disable S-Voice.

Upgrade to a newer JB build. That problem's been fixed for a few weeks, ever since LJ1 or LJ2.

I disagree. I have LJ4 and I have that problem. The only solution I found was to start using the power button instead.
I have this problem also. I am running liquidsmooth rc 7. And i have this also on other roms

Since JB update I have no lag on home button even with S-Voice double tap enabled. Also, the apps are not closing when I wake up the phone with home, only if I have s-voice disabled.

main problem is with no lock screen, this results in the phone return to the home screen when unlocked with home.
if you use a lock it will load that, then the last app, unless you press home just as the screen dims.

I have this also. As you say, with s voice double tap enabled, it doesn't happen.
With nova or apex and no program running it pulls up the screen preview. Extremly annoying.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
If you install a custom stock-based ROM with s-voice removed (an option in several ROMs with the Aroma installer), the home button issue does not occur.
I have found that it only works with s voice enabled too.I have found no other way on stock
Screen off automatically ------> before 5 seconds, press home button = app exits and shows your home. It's because your phone locks after 5 seconds after your screen automatically turns off. When it locks after 5 seconds, it will show your lock screen.
My advice for you: stop posting useless threads, post in the firmware's thread. Crying here won't solve and won't make anyone fix it.
I have lock, but I have apps which turns the screen off without locking it. When I press home button the screen is turning instantly and no screen lock. I'm very happy with the Jelly Bean update.

well that is a common problem in the leaked ones. i have that too when ever i multi task. rooting can help you.
Its because TW is kicked out if memory being a background app whilst another app is in use, if you go back to 4.1 you can use either JKay's framework or xposed app settings lock touchwiz home in memory (xposed may work on the leak I'm not 100% sure) however keep in mind this will affect multitasking a bit.
