Samsung Galaxy S5 Home Button keeps sending me to Google
Hello,
I'm back with more 4.4.4 bugs! I performed a factory reset since my last post and some of my problems have been relieved, but I noticed a new one SINCE the reset after 4.4.4.
Whenever I press my home button to exit an app, it takes me to my personalized Google screen. I am tapping, NOT holding. It's getting very frustrating to try and exit one app and then have to exit another before I can do what I wanted/needed to do.
I have tried removing the battery and I have also tried clearing the defaults. Neither of these suggestions have worked. Not sure what else to try now aside from another freaking factory reset. I have about had it with this phone...

Select accounts and privacy, select ? On top right. Select turn Google now on or off.
Directions:
Open the Google settings app
Tap Search &Now > now cards
Turn "show cards" OFF
You will also find a feedback option to inform Google of any malfunctions.

Jacked from another thread. I did this & restarted and the problem is gone!
I FOUND A FIX! i called att and this of course is a known issue. -Go to settings -Application manager -Scroll to the left for "ALL" - scroll down and find "touchwiz home" -clear cache -clear defaults Hit home hit "always" to make touchwiz home defualt click ok. (I had 2 different TouchWiz apps I did this to)

Same problem here since that 4.4.4 update, most irritating!! Definitely only tapping the button, not holding it!

This has been sooo frustrating. I tried clearing the touch wiz information. now when I hit the home button, it asks do you want to use touch wiz or touch wiz easy home. I hitT W easy home and woila I had a magnified screen. I set it back, and all my screens were reset to defaults. All my apps that I had arranged were gone. Now I have a 20 minute job to rebuild my screens. I agee that this is ridiculous. The one button on the phone and it misbehaves. This would never happen on an apple product. Now I will try the swipe up app. but need to find my google play first.ugh.
