Google home button

Why does my home button go to Google Now after AT&T Galaxy S5 Active update to 4.4.4?This is what I did and it solved the problem for me:Apps>Google Settings>Search & Now>Phone Search>Remove all the check boxes. Now the Home button takes me to my home screen, nowhere else!PS: I own the S5 Active. #38 Re: Why does my home button go to Google Now after AT&T Galaxy S5 Active update to 4.4.4?I removed my battery for about an hour and when I restarted, it was fine. #39 Re: Home button goes to Google Now after AT&T Galaxy S5 Active update to 4.4.4Mine has been doing the same thing.. Almost every time I would try to push the home button to get out of something it would bring up the google search thing.. my husband thought it was me pushing the button too hard or too many times.. I actually disabled the google search app itself..so it doesn't go there anymore, but it will just sit there at vibrate at me sometimes 3 or 4 times before it actually goes home. I went to ATT today, and they at first said it was my fault, until they started doing it when they pressed home.. They told me to call customer service to see if they could trouble shoot it.. otherwise I would have to make a warranty claim on it and have them send me another one.... #40 Re: Why does my home button go to Google Now after AT&T Galaxy S5 Active update to 4.4.4?I have done everything no luck. I am going to throw this phone out. My daughter has same phone but no issues at all, not sure why I do and she does not. I have disabled everything and still nothing!

Re: Why does my home button go to Google Now after AT&T Galaxy S5 Active update to 4.4.4?I think I've got it. Next time it pops up, go to settings-phone search-and unclick all the buttons. Worked so far for me when nothing else did. #33 Re: Why does my home button go to Google Now after AT&T Galaxy S5 Active update to 4.4.4?I know it's to late for some, but I never ever update AT&T's bloatware. Just browsers & apps or Motorola firmware updates.Posted via Radio Shack iPhone central app #34 Re: Why does my home button go to Google Now after AT&T Galaxy S5 Active update to 4.4.4?Yup still having this issue.. .Annoying as all get out!! Did speak with AT&T and the rep advised me to wipe the cache partition... yup..worked for a while until it got bogged down again... smh... so I've wiped the cache partition 3 times now... came across this forum and glad to see it's not just me... I've now tried the google app update uninstall... guess I'll see how that works... #35 Re: Why does my home button go to Google Now after AT&T Galaxy S5 Active update to 4.4.4?Same issue here. Ever since the Kitkat update on my S5 my home button refuses to work properly. Other than hitting my back button multiple times or killing my tasks every single time it refuses to budge from the Google Now page. I've reboot, reset, wiped the cache, switched launchers...I'm losing my mind here. #36 Re: Why does my home button go to Google Now after AT&T Galaxy S5 Active update to 4.4.4?Can anyone tell me whether this is affecting only the AT&T Actives? If it only affects the Actives I might consider going and complaining and just getting a regular S5. #37 Re:

I did this and it fixed it. I think this is a Google app issue with it's latest update. Hope this helps everyone #22 Re: Why does my home button go to Google Now after AT&T Galaxy S5 Active update to 4.4.4?This is the answer that worked for me. Thanks for posting it. This was very irritating. #23 Re: Why does my home button go to Google Now after AT&T Galaxy S5 Active update to 4.4.4?Raise your hand if you are still having this issue regardless of everything tried in this thread.Swipe Launch Disabler can be used to keep Google Now from coming up, but it doesn't change the fact that the phone is recognizing a regular push of the Home Button as a long-press (the root problem here). Resetting/Hard-resetting works temporarily until the phone has been on for a little while and begins to get bogged down again and starts having trouble distringuishing between a short-press and long-press of the home button. This is a software bug that AT&T needs to fix. Better yet, why don't they stop mucking with the software so much and actually send us Lollipop instead of waiting for the S6 to come out so people feel the need to upgrade? Shady business tactics. The only fix

Etc. #27 Re: Why does my home button go to Google Now after AT&T Galaxy S5 Active update to 4.4.4?I deleted my google now update history. and it fixed it for about a day. How in this day and age do these things happen. Secondly how is there still not a fix for this, especially not something from At&t or Samsung. This crap is so friggen annoying. I straight up want to smash my phone with a sledgehammer. #28 Re: Why does my home button go to Google Now after AT&T Galaxy S5 Active update to 4.4.4?Hey,I did this, and I thought it fixed it....but it didn't. I am about to throw my phone out the window. This **** is beyond ridiculous. #29 Re: Why does my home button go to Google Now after AT&T Galaxy S5 Active update to 4.4.4?I've been having this issue and tried all the suggestions - remove battery, restart, change launcher options etc... Nothing worked. I was finally so frustrated that I flashed my phone completely (Settings - Backup and Reset - Factory data reset) and it seems to have done the trick. I've been running Google Now for several days now on my reset phone and the home button has been working great. Also the laggy speed has improved considerably. I reinstalled all the apps I had before and its still running well. Drastic action and a huge pain but it works! #30 Re: Why does my home button go to Google Now after AT&T Galaxy S5 Active update to 4.4.4?

And you should hear "Welcome to Google Home" Rebooting Your Google Home Mini Before factory resetting your device and losing all of your personal data and settings, you should try to reboot your Mini first. Go through the power cycle to reboot by unplugging the device for about one minute and plugging it back in. You can also reboot by using the Google Home app for iOS or Android. Open the Google Home app and select your Mini or Nest speaker. Tap the Settings button (the gear icon) and then tap the More button (three dots). Tap Reboot in the menu, and confirm the action to reboot. Get Your Home or Nest Mini Speaker Working Although it does mean having to set the speaker up from scratch, performing a factory reset can sometimes be your only option. The methods above are guaranteed ways to factory reset your Google Home or Nest Mini. And in most cases, will help to get it working like new again.
