Random back button presses - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Is anyone elses note 2 randomly pressing the back button?
I've had it for around a month now with no issues but this just came up. Any idea?
I'm running Cleanrom on it if that makes a difference.

Haven't noticed this behavior at all on mine.

Yes happened to me I had to take it back

Yes I experience this on rooted stock. I have also noticed it do this for the "right click" button also. I don't know why. Thinking about flashing something to try and ditch it. I just love stock with nova. Don't really see a reason to switch. Battery life is amazing. It's fast enough to play need for speed most wanted without any pixel drops and it has the rarest slow down or crash. I just love it.
Expect for this stupid issue. >.< but it doesn't happen enough for me to be bugged. Probably every few days or less.

I'm completely stock and this has happened to me several times. I've found that locking it and unlocking it will stop it but it always happens again randomly. I'm planning on getting it exchanged. Hopefully it's just a few bad phones...

Capacitive menu button activating by itself

So a few times a day my phone will start bugging out, vibrating and the same menu that would pop up if you pressed the menu button would come up. I find it pretty weird, I can't reproduce it but it comes and goes.

tonight mine freaked out a little bit but not exactly the same as yours. My phone appeared to freeze up for a few seconds and then anytime I pressed any of the capacitive buttons the voice talk app would say "what would you like to do?" I had to reboot it to get it to stop.

I Google's it a bit and it looks like others have this issue as well. It used to only happen once a day but lately it's more often. Issue seems to be getting worse. I know for sure tho when I bring it to sprint it won't happen at all and I'll have to argue with them.

Addicted to my phone

I'm completely addicted to my phone, like most people on XDA, I mean I m on it 24/7 as soon as I wake up, and no for phone call or text (it actually bothers me) Idk what to do, flashing roms, kernels, checking for updates, does anyone feel the same, that's one the reason I had an iPhone I was limited to what could I do on it, was going more to the gym and what not, I know I can limit myself but is hard, anyone else wants to admit they are too? Anything that you have done to get away with it? And has it work?
I get emails and there not even important, going back 4 years ago is when started, getting the evo a few years back made it worse, I could actually watch hd youtube on it and stop using the computer less and less, where I work I'm the GM and I could check my phone whenever I want and that's bad, I mean looking at might stats I could spent up to 6 hours with my screen on, now it feel like a job to check my phone then anything else, you see xda members asking for the next update or when cyanogen is releasing his work on XDA, is crazy to admitted but truth at the same time, even think of unrooting my phone sometimes and I can't just give it up, anyways guys I just want to see how many people feel the same way, thank you for reading
Thanks for the responses xda members

Hello my name is JayVee and I am also addicted to my phone. I have not gotten rid of that just new feeling you get with a gadget. There's no slowing down with this one. I listen to music, browse the Web, watch YouTube vids, and play games on this thing all day. I even refresh my twitter feeds 1000x per day on here. I use it more than my 2 computers. The first thing I do when I wake up is say good morning to my phone to wake it up and it feels so sweet when it listens. Makes me smile. My friends now call me antisocial because I'm on my phone more than I talk to them when we hang out. Idc tho.

Funny. Not because the addiction but because after they showed it was Windows phone, people seemed to not care as much..
So my name is Joseph and I am also an addict lol. Thanks for your honesty. I started with an HD2. I didn't even know about rooting or flashing and thought Winmo 6.5 was great lol. Then my buddy Wilfred turned me to the XDA site and it's been full on every since. My wife and I have always had the same phone HD2 and now Galaxy SII. When I wasn't fooling around with mine I was trying to doctor up her phone. I can't tell you how many times I have been up all night trying to fix something I broke on her HD2. oops lol. She would get so mad because I would accidentally erase all her apps and have to start over. ( During my noob phase ) But the only thing to do is sometimes just TURN IT OFF! I can hardly do it but sometimes thats the only way. I will leave it upstairs while we hang out downstairs so she does't get mad. I just got a great deal on the SSGSII and now I wish I had've waited on the SIII. lol. Oh well. :silly:
ADDICTED! you bet, I do my HTC-Hd2, mytouch4g, SamNote i717, and this one. Checking for anything to do on any of them, lucky for me the wife is all into it with, also a manager, so I am on them all day also...it's a DRUG...hehe

First hiccup in two months with my Note2!

Well, it happened, I experienced the first real freezing up yesterday. Everything just became un responsive while on a call, trying to end a call, the person I called couldn't hear me but I showed 3 bars of signal then the dialer froze up and I had to pull the battery out to restart the device. Same exact thing happened on my Mom's note2 today. I can't believe anything could cause this phone to stutter so badly. My phone is stock rooted T Mobile ROM. My mom's is totally stock.
I know all electronics can have the occasional hiccup. Anyone else have this happen? Don't get me wrong, I totally love this phone, gps is solid, navigation got me to a location in an unfamiliar area when I was a bit lost. Google maps had one place on the wrong side of the street 800 ft from it's actual location but I can't be certain if it was a clear night. There was rain in the area.
As I said first hiccup in two months.

Could you please say it again? I couldn't understand if you have a problem with your phone or not.
Sounds like a common application that is installed on both your and your Mom's Note IIs experienced a small problem. Check Notifications to see what may have updated on both phones.
Its really hard to know what causes the freezing as we install different apps everyday. It can be from some apps we just installed or from something else. Luckily for me, I haven't had anything like that since I got this in Oct. 2012. I rooted mine in December but with stock ROM and still perform as great as before.
I usually restart my phone weekly. Its just like something that I used to do in all my old phones. Maybe it helps freeing up some memory.
Some of you root the phone only to keep the stock ROM and stock Kernel, etc.
The phone really does not need it.
Unless you are looking to modify the unit by over clocking it and changing the stock ROM to something exotic, there is no need to root the Note II.
When you flash changes to the unit, there are going to be bugs and other things that pop up now and then.
I have a Sensation runing Sense 4.1, Android 4.0.1, overclocked to 1.83 Mhz, with all types of tweaks. The Note II blows it away in every way, stock.
I will not root it until there is something worth flashing.
The phone just came out a few months ago.
I am sure there is a nice ROM caming down the pipe.
I will be waiting.
I really hope I don't run into this issue with the freezing! I got the phone on release day in store and haven't had any issues thus far.
C.S.
maybe try rebooting every once in a while.... keeps things fresh... i reboot at least once a day.

So tired of this.

How many of you were trying to use your rooted stock galaxy s3, and when you were using it, it froze, resulting in a battery pull? I am sick of this. Either after writing a long post, message, or status and it freezes and losing it all, or just now, when I was downloading the MOAR ROM (800 mb), it took an hour and thirty mins, and then at 94% it froze. I returned a galaxy s3 STOCK NOT ROOTED for this same problem, and got another and it still does it. How many of you have the same problem? This is one of the few reasons I wish I havent gotten this phone. Do not get me wrong, I love this phone and all its features, but there are these few tiny things that make me really mad that is does it, that makes me regret it too.

Have never once had this problem on my GS3. Day one purchase too. Sorry to hear that.
I've had freezes due to custom kernel overclocking and undervolt testing, but once I found the right settings, I haven't had a single freeze...and it's been months.
Phone has ran its longest at 2 weeks 3 days 16 hours.
Never had this problem. Rooted since 2nd week in July.
No issues here either; rooted and blue-tified not long after getting it 6/21.
My first phone I had was a dud. The screen would flicker and freeze up. The only way it would fix itself was a battery pull. But it would start doing the same thing within a few minutes. I got my replacement and haven't had problems since. Maybe it's possible you got another dud? There worse thing that can happen is you get another bad phone, or you get a good one. If you'd get another bad one you could just see if they'll let you upgrade to a new phone early. Have a buddy who just that same thing, not with a s3 though.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Overheating means one of two things.
1. You phone is in an extremely marginal signal location and keeps switching between cells. Lots of radio activity at full power will heat up the phone.
2. An app is using lots of CPU power and/or data and may be "running away".
You should be able to get some clues on this by looking at battery stats to see what's using the most power.

I always thought it was something I did, but I took my first one in and it froze and heated up, now this one just freezes. I don't wanna take the 2nd one in because that is just extra work for sprint and I can deal with it. If my computer worked or I could download the moar rom (or any for that matter) without it freezing or restarting the download I wouldn't have this problem. Oh well. Nothing I can't deal with. Heck, it is a great phone.!

Hard to tell. Perhaps someone here knows a diagnostic to tell which app freezes the phone.
But it's most likely something that runs as a service (under Settings/Apps/Running), probably something you yourself installed. I'd start there first. If you have a quick and reliable way to determine if it will lock up (like running some stress test, maybe a benchmark), perhaps you could "freeze" some of those apps in Titanium Backup and find out which app is responsible.

[Q] Is it possible to revert back to 4.3?

This KitKat update is complete crap, it's ruined a number of things on my device and added NOTHING. A week ago I was 100% satisfied with my Note 3, I could keep it forever on 4.3. Is it possible to go back? I'm stock, not-rooted.
If you took the ota, then no.

I've noticed a lot of different things with the processor. After on for a little while randomly some of the CPUs will activate did not sleep, normally cpu0 stays on all the time but cpu1-3 turn off to save battery, and at the same time the minimum frequency would get stuck at 1.95... When you reboot everything would reset back to the minimum of 300 mhz and the CPUs would sleep as normal

Really glad I stayed on 4.3 after hearing a lot of these horror stories mentioned in several threads. I had no intention of taking the OTA or Odin anyways just because I read a couple weeks before on a site that kitkat 4.4.2 was messing with how it handles the external sdcard and apps.
There's mixed reports of good/bad battery life on 4.4.2 and if the new bootloader really makes a difference yet, all I can say to those that did jump the gun or didn't know any better is things will get better as devs iron out the bugs and create custom kernels/roms to help you guys out. Does it suck waiting for all this.. hell yes it does but we have all been there before and just know you are in the right place here at XDA because these devs and members are here to help us all out thru hard times.
