When pressing home button to turn on screen the task manager comes up as if you have double pressed. Anyone else experience this? Any fixes?

Sounds to me like you somehow reprogrammed your buttons. There is a youtube video by lucidmike that describes this and can show how to fix it.

I'm having the same problem. Pressing the home button to wake up the screen automatically takes you to task manager. It's pretty annoying, any fixes?

Same thing is happening to my T-mobile Galaxy Note 2 after the T-Mobile update for LTE from last week.

Hopefully this is easy fix, because I press home button more than power button to wake up my phone.

FIX ITTTTTT .. lol

I already mentioned that I am having this problem, but since then both my mother and sister updated their phones and only one of them had the same problem. My mom's phone also wakes to recent apps, and since we both use Nova Launcher and my sister doesn't, I thought it might be the problem. I cleared defaults on Nova to get TouchWiz back, and that didn't seem to wake to recent apps, so then I cleared defaults on TouchWiz to set Nova to be the default again and so far my phone isn't waking to recent apps anymore.

Edit: And after turning my phone off for the night, it doesn't seem to work anymore.

It happens to me as well. Only if you use the Home button when the screen is already or if the screen hasn't been off for more then 30 seconds.

I hope T-Mobile does a hot fix for this or at least hurry's up with 4.2.2

Since I have been using a pattern lock on my phine I haven't ran into this again, but before when the screen went dim/dark I would hit the home button and it would go straight to task manager sometimes.

Re: Problem, new update 4.1.2. - Bug Confirmed on at least two carriers... Tmobile/Sprint

It's quite unbelievable how widespread this problem is... yet there are so little posts on the Internet about this. I'm not sure how this bug got passed beta testing at Google when developing 4.1.2.

The problem is that it's not an easy topic to search on google; and, it only happens when people don't use the lockpattern. It looks like Google shipped out a Nexus factory ROM with a bug in it too all their vendors.. Tmobile, Sprint, etc.

I'm really hoping a software developers sees this thread; who might be able to at least offer a solution to people with rooted phones. I already posted on XDA-Developer forums; but their forums are so diversified that it's hard to make just one forum thread that most people can view.

It's not like I can revert to an older ROM either since 4.1.2 has LTE support. I can't select the newer 4.2.2 ROM either, or I lose wifi calling. So, I'm stuck... Really Lame.
