It's just a setting you need to correct. Do this:
Click and open the phone
Tap the menu button (next to home key)
Click on call settings
Check the auto screen off
thank you very much

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!!
Is there anyway to switch to another app while on a call?
On Sony Xperia, one can press "home" key to switch to the home screen and start another app while continue to talk on the phone, but on Note 2 the call screen stay on no matter which key is press. Can anyone tell me if this is normal.

Maybe a other dialer helps? I've not tested it on standard. Go Contacts EX (dialer and contacts). I can dial and press home there.

No, what I meant is when you are already in a call. How to you get to check emails, SMS message or even play games at the same time when you are speaking to someone. I can not switch out of the contact's screen as it simply locks up the screen no matter which key is pressed. http://forum.xda-developers.com/images/smilies/frown.gif
I am using the Note 2 LTE
I just tested my phone..while on call..I pressed the home button..my dialer went away and my home page appeared. I am using stock rooted rom with go launcher.

What I mean is that during a call I can just press home, then open what ever I like. It works with Go Contacts anyway. I just tried it. Opened up Gmail without issues. See the green area in the top?

I have the same problem. I have a At&t note ii and holding the back key does nothing. Anyone know whats up?
I have a Bell 7150. Long holding the back button does nothing. Long holding the physical button will bring up the Task Manager.
Something do with LJ2 build?
You guys need to wait for your respective firmware update or flash new or custom rom

there is no issue with the latest update. Just go to the mobile settings - select display and the select multi window and the side bar will come automatically
To slove your problem,
go to settings/applications, select the tab all and saerch for com.sec.android.app.FlashBarService
Tab it and choose to Clear data and force stop (don't worry you won't lose anything)
Restart your Galaxy Note 2.
When you're back on your homescreen, long holding your finger on the back key and your multiwindow sidebar will be back again :victory:
I had the same problem in the past.
Help, I have a Galaxy S7, NOT Edge. When I first got it a sidebar appeared and I arranged my items then closed it to open again. Well, now I cannot get it at all, I was holding a few items and pressing my on/off key and it appeared again, now I cannot get it to show up. I have found several YouTube videos on how to turn it off, but nothing to turn it on.
I have tried looking in settings, unless there is a section I am missing. I know there is a split screen, that is not whst I am looking to use.
I have held back button, I have held back button and on/off key at same time. I have swiped screen, with screen off or on, nothing.
Would really like to have it back.
I'm not rooted...yet. But the problem that I am encountering is everytime I wake up my phone and unlock it, it goes to the last screen I was on or app. Its a minor problem but is there anyway to set it to always awake up to my primary homescreen. I'm on Nova Launcher if that helps.
Do you have any other apps that have anything to do with the lockscreen?
Do you go to the last screen if you wake the phone by pressing the home button and then unlocking?
The reason I ask is that if I have no lock screen and I wake the my Note II by pressing the home button I go directly home. If I wake the phone with the power button I go to the last app I was using.
This does not happen however if I have the lock screen enabled. I am then always taken to the last app. Never the home page.
Update 20130201
Since updating to 4.1.2 the home button now behaves how I want it to. It takes me to the last app or screen that was open. It does this even if i do not use a lockscreen

Nope I recently got this phone, the only major would be the Nova launcher.
Yes regardless if I used the power or home button, if I was looking at my settings it will unlock to that. I've even tried removing the lockscreen and I still have the same issue.
my only suggestion is to look for a lock screen replacement app that lets you choose any application to start whith the right "swipe"...then assign the launcher to one of the icons...I know that Apex has a widget that will "launch" it - i.e. take it to the home screen! Now all you have to do is invoke that kind of a thing in the same way you can go into messaging or email from the lockscreen...
I know for a fact that widgetlocker has an option to unlock to the last page or app you were on or unlock straight to your home screen.

Hi on my Samsung Galaxy s3 i got a situation where when I am on my phone during a phone call, when i put the phone next to my ear the screen turns on, but when i take it off my ear the screen turns on. This feature never really works, it only works 1 out of the 10 times i try it. How do i turn this setting off so that when i am in a "call" the screen is always on
Press your phone button so you are at the dialer. Press menu and go to call settings. Uncheck Auto Screen Off During Calls.
