Lose App when screen times out - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else have the issue that when the screen times out and turns off when turning on again the app has disappeared from the screen and has to be accessed again by selecting relevant app.
This is especially annoying when writing an email or text.
Any help would be much appreciated!

Is voice "disabled" via double pressing the home key? If so, try to enable it and see if the issue still persist as I encountered the same issue before the last FW upgrade.

[Q] Screen black after screen unlock

I've noticed that sometimes when I unlock my device I have a black screen with only the "multi-task" button and the status bar visible. It will stay like this until I "lock" the phone and unlock it again. Touching the "multi-task" button makes the rest of the buttons appear but touching them still doesn't make the screen respond. I have noticed this on both stock and custom rom. Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on a fix or cause?
I am using the Virgin/Bell Canada GSM version.
Thanks
ps. I've posted a pic to give people an idea of what I'm getting....as it may seem unclear in my explanation.
At first this sounded similar to a problem I had.. I installed Wave Launcher, which for some reason did not play well with my phone. I would unlock the screen and the screen would immediately go black as if it had shut off, but I could still push buttons and receive haptic feedback. I had to have someone call me and delete the app while I was in the call.. it sounds kind of similar but not really.. my first guess would be some sort of problem with an app being incompatible.

I wanted to pass this on...I was reading in the Team Kang rom that there is a "bugfix version: app navigation menu icons no longer disappear after unlocking phone". So I hope this is what relates to my problem and has been "fixed"!

[Q] No vibration alert for SMS

Hi,
Strange problem with my note 2.
My phone doesn't vibrate when receiving a text message...
I can't see any settings to change when the phone should vibrate or not when on silent.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Andy
weird innit....
in the messaging app, go to settings and scroll down, under "notification settings" you can enable vibrate
Seems to be a bug
I have the same issue, but it is only an issue when the screen is off. If the screen is on, the vibrate feature works as the settings I have indicate it should. It appears to be a bug.
Searched high and low and there isn't a fix that I could find, so I just used Tasker (app) to set the phone to vibrate whenever a text message is received. Does the trick, now it vibrates on SMS receipt whether the screen is on or off.

I have the same issue on my T-Mobile Note 2 running a ported international ROM. It's driving me insane! :crying:
Thanks for the idea with using Tasker. I'm going to give that a try until I find an updated ROM release.

[Q] Home button

Anyone else noticing lag on the home button after 4.3? I have noticed when I try the home button and close out a program, it takes two or three taps to get it to register. It seems to be a RAM related issue as it reacts better when I do clear ram. I am wondering if anyone else has this issue. Mods - if this needs stuck in another thread please move it freely. I just didn't know if a new thread was warranted or not for it.

I am having the same issue. I also disabled the s voice home button option. Its really starting to get annoying
Custom kernels will hopefully help out with this a bit once they become available more

May seem dumb but where in 4.3 is the s-voice disabled? I can't find the setting for the life of me!

Open svoice app in app drawer. ...change setting there
Thanks, I completely forgot as I had svoice disabled in 4.1. I don't even use it. Its all google now for me.
I was having the same issue and disabled the S-Voice option. I just did the change in the s-voice settings but so far it seems to be pretty responsive.
For anyone interested there is a TON of info on this but essentially double tap the home button to open S-voice (or navigate to it in the app drawer). Hit the menu button (lower left of the phone). Select settings, untick the "Open via the Home Key" option.

[Q] Galaxy Grand Duos update to 4.2.2 differences

Hi,
I updated the Samsung firmware/software (or whatever it's called) today from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 Kernel 3.0.31-2212686.
I have noticed a couple of niggling little differences in the operation of my phone and am wondering how to change these back to the way they were BEFORE I updated.
1) When typing my PIN code on the lock screen, the phone vibrates. It never used to. How do I change it back?
2) When I receive a text message, I now get a preview of the message on my lock screen. I never used to get those either. How do I change it back?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Go to Settings and disable Vibrate on touch.
To remove previewing message, go to settings from inbox and by the end you can uncheck preview messages,

Hi DMJoh, and thanks for your input.
I did finally find the setting to undo the preview messages, so ... YES!! Thanks for that! Much appreciated.
Unfortunately, I'm not finding the Vibrate on Touch setting. The update seems to have changed about all my settings and put them into four categories: Connections, My Device, Accounts, ...More, with subcategories under each main category.
I cannot find the Vibrate on Touch setting anywhere. I even looked under My Device/Lock Screen as I thought the settings would be there what with all the vibrating happening on the lock screen, but it is not there, either.
Any ideas? Thanks

Actually, what you mentioned is your phone vibrates when you touch keypad for entering PIN code to unlock right, actually this is not happenong with me.i tried it in an older 4.2.2, if u are on the latest B1 update, i am not sure how it works, i reverted back from B1 as its almost stuck all the time in my phone, if its okay with you try a factory reset, but am not sure this will solve your problem.

Incoming call screen unresponsive- Missed calls

So this has been happening sporadically over the last few weeks. I get a call, try to slide the answer button to the center to answer it, and other than feeling the haptic feedback, there is nothing responding. Turning off the screen did not help. Neither did trying to ignore button. When the screen comes up as a tap to answer, that works, but the slide one sometimes fails. Anyone else having this issue? Any ideas?
This is still happening on my device. As well as the pop-out, fly-out whatever you call them, menus that pop out from the side of an app with the 3 lines..those are becoming unresponsive and requiring a reboot. I can't seem to narrow down the cause. Still looking for any help on this.
