Pressing messaging gives me another app? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Anyone else seeing this?
Today whenever I press the messaging icon I get the last app I had open instead.
Very strange.

just go back that's happened with my Mytouch 4G

I've seen this with Google Music. I've force stopped and cleared data but the problem randomly comes back and I dont know whats triggering it

For me, the best working solution is to press multitasking button and swipe away all the apps.

Thats what i did too
At first i tried to open my music, it opened my google voice instead :/ but thats the temporarily solution i suppose :/

This has not gone away. Even if I try to access messaging from the app drawer or recent app list it doesn't work. Hitting back cycles through other apps, does not help. The only way to access messaging is through the people app or through a notification.

Try rebooting it?

Like someone said, swipe away all the recent apps.

Stock browser

On stock browser when I hit back arrow it stays on same page most of time sometimes I have to hit it 4-5 times real fast so it will go back has anyone else had this.

Maybe it because the page you were visiting was redirected to the mobile version by the host, so when you hit the back button it would take you back redirected to the mobile version.

I came across this and I think it has to do with ads being shown inside of iframes. I do have blocked ads so it can possibly be related to them being blocked.
That's what I was thinking it could be the ads thanks.

On ICS I don't remember it being like this.

I've had this problem when you back into a redirect, could be that!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
If you get this and it is caused by a web page redirect then you can long press on the back button to show the browser history, allowing you to move back to any point.

[Q] CM10 issue with recent apps

It's not really a bug or anything like that, it's just that I don't like having the app that I'm currently using in the recent apps list because I tend to close it down without really thinking (guess I'm used to stock)...
Is there any way to disable this feature?
Edit: I'm using paranoid Android but seeing as that is based off of CM10 I'm guessing the problem lies there.
It's a bug i think, when you press recent apps too fast.
No, it's always there...
I'm guessing it's a feature.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
It is not a feature, my active app is never in the recent apps list.
Swype'ed on my CM10 Galaxy Nexus
My active app is never on the recent apps unless i switch apps and immediately press recent apps again.
Weird, so any idea on how to fix this?

Nah.
You could do a nandroid and try factory resetting and see if the problem still persists.
If it's still there then restore your backup, nothing to lose except for a little time.
Oh, right, nandroid, I didnt think of that, thanks!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
Mine's the same (PA 2.51), I can't recall if this was the case on CM10.
Purely speculation, but it might be so you can access the Hybrid Properties (long press the app in recents) of the active app so you can make changes on the fly (?).

Long home press doesn't bring up open apps

Have a weird bug that comes and goes and can't figure out why or how to fix it. Long pressing home should bring up all open apps and let you get to task manager. Most the times it works, but every once in awhile it will completely stop working. A reset fixes it or if i just wait awhile it will come back.
Anyone else get this or know of a fix? Home button still works, just not the long press

This happens to me sometimes right after or during watching an online video through the browser, it doesn't work until the video player or the system UI force closes(takes around a minute)

I didn't get 4.2.2 but I did get the "side bar" thing. It seemed kinda cool at 1st, but it's gotten rather annoying. I get the dual Window option but don't see the practicality for my use. I'd love input if anyone has any.

The Navigation apk is gone but navigation still exists, it's just baked directly into Maps.

I haven't got the navigation option on maps since I flashed my phone a few days back. Wondering what can be done as I really miss the navigation option.

Do you not have the navigation button at the bottom right corner when you put an address in?

But what it *still* doesn't have (or, at least, I haven't found it yet) is the ability to go into Navigation, hit the "map" button, and watch the arrow follow your route, without needing to punch in a destination (a "follow" mode, for lack of a better term). I actually used that on occasion, and its disappearance in Maps 7 is very disappointing.

Standalone navigation apps usually include a tracking mode where you can monitor a live trace of your gps' (walked, driven or bicycled) path along the map and annotate, save and share that trace.
I'm not sure how much was included in GNav, but it has been reduced to a GMaps subset and the controls need to be relearned. Map tracing via gps seems gone for now.

Latest map updates has it, although;
It no longer had a separate Navigation Icon, Nav is part of maps with a turning arrow icon to activate

Google play problem

I just encountered this problem for the first time today I've never had this happen before. When I open Google play I can't go in to "my apps" by pressing the menu button all I get to pop up is settings and help is there anyway to fix this to get my apps to pop back up. See attached

Try swiping from the left edge of the screen. The menu was moved there in the latest update.
