Am I understanding correctly that there is absolutely no way to go to the home screen without taking the phone off the charger or rotating it to portrait mode?

I assumed you could just tap or swipe the screen to get back to the home screen.

Am I right in thinking my assumption was wrong, and the only real way to do it is to take the phone off the charger or rotate it from landscape to portrait?
