Annoying "No Recent Apps" when turning screen on

[jmbtexas4]

Hi, I installed an Android update today, and now when I turn the screen on for my Note 2, there is a new "No Recent Apps" (or a list of recent apps). This is bothering me, and I want to turn this off. How do I do that? Thanks, Jeff

The only way I get that list is by long-pressing the home button. Different phone, just thought I’d say so in case you’re doing that.

Hi, no, I'm not long pressing the home button. I'm just pressing either the home or power button quickly as usual. I got the Note 2 over Christmas. I think this is my first Android update, and I've never seen this before. I tried a few things in settings, but none of them have fixed it. Thanks anyway.

Does anybody know how to turn this off?

Seriously? Am I in the wrong forum or the wrong site?

I have a Note 2, but I'm not seeing the same thing you are.

Just to be clear on what is happening. You're using your phone and are in some app, you don't do anything for a bit and the screen turns off, and when you press the power or home button to wake the phone up you immediately see the recent apps screen?

Have you turned off the lock screen option?
Have you installed any custom launcher?

I have mine set so that a quick double tap of the home button will bring up the recent apps screen, and I think I set this via my custom launcher settings, but can't recall for sure.

I'm curious to see what is causing this, because I might actually like it if my phone woke up to recent apps.
