Xperia S "Home" same as return

Dicky-Art — Mon, 09 Jun 2014 19:22:36 GMT

When I've finished with an app and I touch "home", it never goes to home screen with one touch. It behaves the same as the "return". Done this since I got the phone, through all updates.

Is this just mine or is it common?

I guess it depends on what apps you used.Were those big apps or games?

I think I understand what you mean...

If you are inside an app which shortcut is not on your Home Page, but rather in another page... when you hit "Home" it will go back to that Page instead of your HOME Page... right?

This behavior is normal for Xperia phones and I, in particular, like it... my old Moto use to go straight Home, when I meant to go just to the Home Screen page that I was using...

If you are in a different Home Screen Page, and you hit the "Home" button it should then go to your designated Home Page. And that is different to the "Back" button which simply does nothing if you are already at any of the Home Screen pages.
