I've got something going on that I don't understand. When in the phone app, pressing the home bezel button brings me to a different screen instead of the device home screen. Is that just my noobness with Android showing?
Phone dialer "home" screen

I just tested this and it seems like in this instance, the home key brings you to the last page you were on

Playing with it some more, it now seems anywhere I press the home button it takes me to this alternate home page. Even if I'm on my home screen. The home page it now wants to go to has the clock and weather on it and alarm, music, gallery, voice search, and internet buttons along the bottom. Also it has a mute and "X" button in the upper right corner. Where am I???
Take a screen shot and post it here. To do that hold home and press power (quickly)

You are in dock mode somehow. Like if you had it mounted in the car or something

What happened when you press the x, in the top right?

Well at least that explains it. I should be able to figure out how I'm getting into it. I plugged it into the car adapter but that's just an older Sprint branded micro-USB adapter. However it has happened before. I'll just have to pay closer attention to what starts it. Any idea how to get out of it once I have? Right now I have to power cycle it.
That x in the top right should do it? How I got to that screen is applications - clock - desk clock then there is a funny icon in the corner. Somewhere in there is your answer

The X doesn't do it. I'll figure out what I did next time it happens. (or the next...) Thanks for the help!
You're welcome!
Feel free to post how you got there just in case this happens to someone else

I will when I figure it out. Right now I'm playing with my Logitech MediaBoard Pro for PS3. It's a Bluetooth keyboard/touchpad combo for PS3 and it pairs right up with the phone.
Mine got stuck in "dock" mode last Friday. I don't own a dock, so have no idea what started it. Then I couldn't get it out of that mode without rebooting the phone. Well, I could press the X and get back to my home screen, but as soon as I did anything else the dock screen came right back up. It was very annoying.

Did they happen to get stuck in dock when or after you plugged them in for a charge? Are you using the stock plug and cord? There have been reports of 3rd party power blocks causing some weird issues

Hi,
Is it possible that you accidentally changed the 'Home Screen' setting?
To make sure your Home screen is the home screen you want, hit the menu list button (first button on the left) (I'm still a newbie too!). Then tap on the 'Edit' button (on screen). You will get all your 7 Touchwiz or Shortcut pages. The will be a 'Remove' button on the bottom of the screen. At this point, tap on the 'Menu List' button (remember, the first button on the left). The 'Remove' button will now change to 'Set as Home'.
Now tap that button (Set as Home), it will change to 'Done' but your really not done yet. You need to tap on one of the miniaturized screens that you want to set at the Home Screen.
After you do that, you will see an icon of a house, now you can tap on the 'Done'!
You have now set your Home Screen Page!

Thanks for the tip, but it was most definitely in docking mode. Rebooting the phone set it right.
When it happened to me it was halfway through the day and had not been on the charger since I woke up that morning.
