Bit of a bizarre bug I've noticed. If you open a program that has the settings button in the bottom right of the screen, and then use the power button to close down, when you hit the power button again, you get an unusable settings button on your lockscreen.
Don't know if anyone else has noticed, or if it's been picked up before. I searched but couldn't find anything. It's not really even an issue. Just thought I'd share it...
its a secret.

Hi
Alot of time happens to me on calling is that when I pick or after dial, I guess I hold the phone a lil bit away from the ear, and the sensor that suppose to shut the screen down, not responding and then with my cheen I press the mute mic button and I cant be heard.. :/
It caused me to get hanged up and recall for so many times.. its so annoying..
Is there a way to remove this button?
Any way I never used it my whole life.. and if I do need that function I probbably would block the mic with my hand like old times...
Does anybody got a sollution for that?
Thanks,
Yarden

hold phone closer lol. or try a different dialer. full screen caller id may work for you.

oh come on that's not an actual tip to hold it closer (and if already then I should hold it farther for not pressing),
There must be a way to cancel that button or remove it for good..
and that "full screen caller" is very uncomfortable, perhaps something more friendly.

There is you can decompike the apks needed and edit the smali files and the xmls, then recompile and test. It will not be easy to say the least. Good luck
Minimise the full screen dailer right after you take or make a call.

Or just press the home key. You can always get back to the call by pulling down the status bar, and pressing on the call option.
after calling just lock the phone by pressing power key... all disabled
So I rooted my phone and everything was smooth until i followed this theme guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1318850
After I followed all the instructions and did that My powerbutton started acting funky. When I hold it down it doesn;t have the popup menu so i can choose to restart phone or turn off phone etc.
Is there anyway to fix this?
haha your lucky I did the same thing what's worse is now your lock screen doesnt work either.
This happens from using the secret codes you selected the wrong option. I can't remember the code for the power thing, but you can remedy by downloading "hidden features free sammy edt" and once in the app, click "power button" in the menu, and you should see the option in the screenshot, uncheck the box and you will have your power menu back! (As well as your lock screen)
Please don't forget to hit thanks if I have helped you!

Thank you very much for the response I'll give that a shot!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I can't say it with enough enthusiasm. I looked everywhere and everyone said i had to do a factory reset. I think the reason why i had the problems as the OP was because i ran the LCD Test with the code *#0*#. I finally have my pin back. Thank you again ApexZeph!

If any of you facing a problem where YOUR LOCK SCREEN DISAPPEARS AND YOU'RE FORCED TO RESTART AND YOU'VE GIVEN UP ALL HOPE??
Fair no more citizen, for I have the solution you have been looking for.
Change your lock screen timeout to a low value so your screen doesn't waste battery on standby, and at the same time, increase the "lock after screen timeout" variable so your phone doesn't lock as soon as your screen dims.
Ik its not ideal, but this way, as long as you're not around thieving individuals, all day, you can pick up up your phone anytime without worrying about it having to restart cheers!!
When my screen turns off and I press the home button to wake the screen, any applications or notification popups I had disappears as the home button is being too "aggressive" and immediately takes me to the home screen.
Did I miss a setting somewhere to prevent this?
Thanks.
It seems the only way to prevent this is by enabling Swipe Lock. I guess this is why it's enabled by default?
I'm having the same problem no matter what I do when the screen times out and I press home it takeme back to my home screen. ..Have you found a solution yet?

In S-Voice app, bring up settings, make sure option to "Open via the home key" is checked. This will allow the home button to only wake the device when the screen is off. Unfortunately, this also introduces some lag when pressing the home button, as the software is waiting to see if you register a double click.

I hate that lag, that's why I unchecked it and ran into this Home Button problem.
The lag is pretty bad, like 2-3 seconds. Not practical.
Anytime my phone starts up, Multi-Window doesn't display automatically although it shows enabled in the Notifications bar. Is there a solution for this?
yes. hold down the back button, problem solved
Thank you.
Lol I didn't know that if u press it pops up and if u hold it down again it goes away

Hey something new we learn everyday, especially with the Note 2. lol.
Thank you, was wondering why it didn't automatically show on the display, good thinking Samsung.
Its really annoy. Menu and Search keep pressed for no reason. I left on desk and look, and menu and search keep pop and look like phone caught virus and play itself. I see my friend got phone with no button but button was on Screen UI. I want on my phone and disable damn annoy button. Sometime my phone "back button" keep pause on game or exit some app. My phone got bricked and tjagged because I was tried on Trinagle away then it sudden Home key hit when I click process.
There any way to disable button and use button UI?
Thanks, Sam
It sounds like you're dealing with the Phantom menu popup issue. It has been talked about here before. It appears to be a hardware defect that usually manifests when signal strength is low. Try turning off data.

You can follow my tutorial. Read the OP a few times to fully understand how to do it before you try it.
