[Q] tapped back soft button 3 times from stock camera app - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I am in the camera app, i tapped the back soft key rapidly 3 times to exit camera app to go into my home screen. However it launches me into the google quick search.
This is not a major issue but juz like to know if anyone encounters this too. Software glitch or meant to be this way? I know that dragging from soft keys will bring us to quick search.

Do you mean Google Now? AKA Google Cards?
My phone does this and it did it on my Xperia T.
It does it in almost any situation where i hit the back button multiple times quickly and gets very annoying after a while!

Right. Sorry bout that. I meant Google Now. Apparently only happened in camera app. No prob with other app. And yes very irritating!

you can disable it . go into settings / applications choose all app tab and find google search apk uninstall updates and disable it and you will not have that issue anymore.

Thank you! That helped alot!

Do you use Google Voice? Do you know of a workaround to get google voice text notifications to work with noled?
I noticed mine was force closing when I would wake up the phone using the power button.
if you wake up the phone using the home button, it works fine

I don't use Google Voice, sorry.
I found that if I touch the screen or any other buttons than the proper button to "unlock" it, it will force close.
Anyone using the Blink option? I find that displaying the icon for any option higher than 250ms will cause the phone to do the Nexus S style power off every time...
Mine doesn't force close but using SMS pop-up doesn't let the message turn off...

Same here. Ive disabled the screen too in the Misc. settings of noled, but its got the same issue.
I also get force closes if I don't press the home button.
so the OP's question is still not answered in full, is there another app that works? or another app at all for that matter.
When I see the force close... just click on the wait button and it works fine after that.

Internet help

Probably a silly question but I've Google it and cannot find an answer. When I close the stock Internet app with the home button and reopen it later it resets back to my home Page. Is there any way I can get it to stay on the pages I have open when I exit?
Thanks,
Sam.

Use Chrome or Opera. It does the job.

Use "Application Monitor" Widgets & Open Your Internet Browser From Active Application.

If your on ics rom the internet browser always open where you left it, in the setting just check the remember form data.
If your on ics rom and doing from the above still does not solve your problem then go to setting advanced and reset to default.

How Tod display recent/running apps

Hi,
at the first I wish you an happy new year. Does anyone known how to enable KFHD to display the recent/running apps?
I mean a button same to this picture right bottom, next to the home button.
http://www.techaheadcorp.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/android-roboto-font2.png
This is using in a regularly android to switch between the open apps.
In a first step it is enough to have an app in the KFHD favorized apps menu, that is able to show the recent apps.
Anyone an idea to solve my requirement?
Best regards!

Can't see my own apps on Google Play

This might sound a bit strange but since I flashed Bulletproof kernel yesterday I can't seem to view my own apps or settings on Google Play, I've attached a screenshot, usually I would click the top right of Google play and i could see my apps but as you can see it only appears to give me the option to search, I've gone through the app and cannot see settings or my own apps, anyone know what's happening here?

Looks like youre on a custom ROM with menu buttons removed. You need to map the menu to another button (ones Ive seen are double tap the back button). When you open the menu you can get that info. You'll have to check with your ROM to see how to access the menu.

If I'm not mistaken that kernel removes the 3 dot menu and maps it to the HTC logo inbetween the back and the home physical buttons

Running Trickdroid ROM but I've just restored my nandroid backup and I can again see my apps in Google play and the menu buttons so it was in fact the kernel that done it.
I'll just stick to stock kernel

You could just flash faux kernel which alreadu uses the HTC logo as a menu anyway. You'll then be able to access it properly.

Google Service not responding

Got a strange issue on my Opti 4X
When i go into Play Store and try and access the 'my apps' section I get a
'Unfortunatley Google Play Store has stopped' message
I have reset my phone, uninstalled play store back to default so it could update itself, cleared the cache.
LG have advised me to speak to Google but if I can avoid that I will
Im running the stock rom.

Factory reset is my advice before that BACKUP all your data (contacts,pictures,sms etc..)
But I have done a factory reset and that google play store my apps issie still happens.
Its only on my Opti 4x
When I try on my Galaxy S running CM11 theres no problem?
Is it time to ditch stock?

I have the same problem and have read online that others have it too.
One work-around is instead of clicking on the button, swipe left to right, that will show the same menu as the button without crashing the app.
Yes, i have the same issue Google Play; regardless of what function it is presenting at the time (back, menu etc) the softkey in the top left corner of the Play screen causes the app to crash. It is very frustrating to say the least but as I see it the only viable solution seems to be to swipe left and right as mentioned above and wait for the next update from Google as it appears to be very much a bug in the app rather than any problem with the phone itself. I have a Nexus 7 also so I will check sometime and see if there are any issues with that (I use the Nexus mostly as an alarm clock and e-reader so it does not go online much therefore there will be just about every app to update including Google Play before I can report back).
I know my reply does not offer anything new or provide much help but at least you know that it is not caused by the phone and you can avoid wasting more time with backups, restores and factory resets etc.
Ok peoples, I have found this elsewhere in the XDA forums
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/lg-optimus-jelly-bean-play-store-fix-t2852146
I will give it a go at some point over the weekend and let you know if it makes any difference
I installed the Xposed module in the above post and hey presto, Google Play doesn't crash out when you press the top left soft key
