I think it happened after buying the Launcher Pro Plus home screen replacement. I have since uninstalled it but depending on the app that I'm in, when I hit the soft "home" button on the phone, the system asks me which home screen application I want to use. Sense is set as the default in the application settings so I have no clue why this happens. Anyone experience this?
If sense is set as the default and launcher pro is uninstalled it should stop prompting you to choose a default have you tried a restart or a battery pull?

When that happens again and you get the prompt check the box you want it to default to and that should set it. Make sure the check box is highlighted.

I'm sure I've pulled the battery since then but I'll try again. And yes I do put a check mark in the default box when I am prompted. Funny thing is it only happens from some applications and while I'm in certain menus in certain apps. I'll see if I can pin point when it happens but it happens enough to irritate me. Shouldn't happen at all. Maybe I'll uninstall all home screen replacements and see if that stops it. Maybe if there's no choice but Sense, it will stop. If it doesn't I dont know what to do.
Just did a few more tests, Doesn't happen from the Internet app, Market but if I load up Astro it happens if I hit the home button or if I try to back myself out of the app to the home screen with the back button. However, it seems that if I place the checkmark in the default box when I'm prompted, then it doesn't happen again for that app. Strange huh? You would think this would be global but its acting as if it's per app.
Uninstall qik.

yeah, the new qik update was my problem too.
My fix was to load the latest OTA. Weird huh?
I'm rooted so I don't have the latest ota update. I removed the latest qik update. Let's see if that helps

Install CM6. Fixed it for me.
the best way to replicate the problem for me is to launch an app, hold the home button while in the app, launch another app from the list, and then push the home button once.
The bug triggers when you use the recent application list by holding the home button.
I also noticed that HTC Sense would show up in the recent list ever since I update qik.
Is there a way to remove the stock lockscreen?
Here is what I have currently:
Rooted with UnNamed Rom, using No Lock app. I also have WidgetLock just in case.
What happens:
Phone will randomly go to the Stock Touch Wiz Lockscreen during any application (NetFlix, Pandora, texting). It is pretty annoying, and sometimes the phone will pull up the dialer when I didn't even press anything.
I thought I could simply remove it on Titanium Backup but I cannot find what the actual name of the TW lockscreen is named.
Any suggestions?

Well the thing is tho, I'm pretty sure if you disable the lock screen you keep your phone from sleeping. That's actually an option you can choose from inside widget locker, its called wake lock. But if your phone isn't gonna sleep, the battery will drain continuously. Plus, any button will turn the screen on. But then again, im not 100% sure.... just mostly sure

Does anyone else have some knowledge on this?
If what hijewpositive says is true, that really stinks to have such a big design flaw on this phone like that.
If you go to your keypad and put in *#7594# Check box to enable and press home button. It will disable the lock screen. If you want to use the lock screen again repeat and uncheck box. Hope this is what you are looking for.

Will this cause the phone not to sleep?
It will still go to sleep. I have been using that way and never had a problem
with it going to sleep.

That worked for me, kinda:
It brought up a box that said "Enable to shut down app on long press".
Is that it?
(This isn't one of those "system32" Windows jokes, right?)

Hmm, I've been getting the phone dialer pop up on UnNamed ROM also but only when I unlock the screen. Always thought I might of hit the phone dialer by accident, but this has occurred multiple times on UnNamed, but absolutely zero times before. Wonder if there's a bug?
Also, I use Go SMS which has a pop-up feature which prevents the lockscreen when an SMS comes through; phone still goes to sleep and no battery drain (tested it by leaving the popup on for half a day and using betterbatterystats, battery monitor, and cpu spy)
I use 'no lock' app. Never had a problem with it.
Guys I have searched hi and low, but I couldn't find the answer, every time I go to use the keyboard and start typing the phone tells me which button I have pressed, I have looked through the settings and have reset the phone and its still there, anyone have a suggestions

Disable TalkBack.
Are you saying that it tells you (via voice) or shows the key letter popup on the screen?

With LightFlow enabled, enable TalkBack, reboot and then disable it.

yeah, i just tried that, once it rebooted, i disabled talk back and still does the same thing, could it be setting in lightflow?
It might be a setting in LightFlow but have you tried to clear data in the app?. Settings > General > Apps > Light Flow and clear data..
well I uninstalled light flow, problem went away, as soon I install light flow and enable it, the problem comes back
maybe I need to root and see if root mode of lightflow works better, I have always rooted every phone I have had but I havn`t yet with the G pro
I had the same problem with the note 2 and a lot of users with the note 2 and s3 have this problem. It's not specific to the lg optimus g pro but it is something that can happen when other apps like light flow need accessibility.
I worked around it by disabling Google tts in applications and one of the Samsung voice apps (can't remember which now)
Anyway by just doing a quick Google I picked this website http://howik.com/Disable_Talk_Back_Mode_in_Samsung_Galaxy_S3 which gives clearer instructions. Don't dismiss it just by reading the first paragraph and thinking "done that" keep reading and it tells you which apps to disable
Hope it helps

Having an issue with go sms pro which i'm sure some have had before; there is no vibration with notifications.
Now this is being caused because for some odd reason, system vibration is turned off, or so go sms says. There is no option in ANYWHERE to enable vibration in stock TW. I was able to fix this problem with my s3 by downloading a program called audiomanager, and setting it from within there, but as of new versions of this program, there doesn't seem to be an option for it in the free version.
So i come to you in a time of need. How in the world do i enable system vibration?! :crying:
Saw this on the tmobile website. Hope it helps:

If you go into messages>menu>settings>scroll down to notifications setting and make sure vibrate is checked...... The phone will vibrate even when you are in sound mode. I cant figure out how to make it vibrate only in vibrate mode for messages. Hope this helps!!!

I assume you're talking about default messaging app, and it only works for itself. If i want to use another app like go sms, i'd need to uncheck notifications in that little area, also disabling vibration.
There is a master setting that needs to be enabled for it to work in go sms, but it's no where to be found.

Did you check under setting>my device>sound>vibration intensity ?
Gonna revive this old thread for anyone who is interested in this fix.
I've tried everything in this thread and nothing worked. I decided to go to the play store and search "system settings" in hopes that someone might have made an extended settings app for this reason. I came across an app called "Smart Settings". This app allows you to create custom profiles that have an on/off toggle for notification vibration; something current touchwiz versions, if not all android versions lack. All you need to do is create a custom profile with notification vibration set to on, enable, then uninstall. There's no other app or system option that will allow you to toggle the master notification vibration setting, so 3rd party apps like gosms will work flawlessly. Switching between built in vibrate only and sound on profiles do not effect the master system vibration option.
I hope this helps anyone with this issue. It was a pain in the ass to find something that actually worked.

Success! Thanks so much, there was an app I had used ages ago that did the same thing but then they made it pro only. I didn't uninstall but froze through Titanium Backup so it's there when I get flash happy and need to restore the vibrate. Now I won't miss all my damn texts.
Glad this helped at least one person out.

Does anyone have this working?
So if I search for 'flip' in settings, it shows me there should be a setting for it, however, if I tap to go to the setting nothing happens.
If I go to where the setting is supposed to be, it is not there.
Curious if anyone else is seeing this as well.

Actually just came back to post about that.
A little while ago, I did not have the setting in DW (when I posted). I dont know if using DW caused ti to update or maybe there was a server side switch, but for whatever reason the shortcut I had in the app drawer disappeared for DW.
Anyway I went back in to DW in settings, and the setting is there now. Also had to re-add the shortcut to app drawer.
Enabled, and working. Obviously still a work in progress as there apparently should be a setting for it in gestures (or maybe not and they didnt remove that).
