Lock Screen Settings Button

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.

[Q] Lock button/power problem

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!!

Home button vs lock button press when screen is locked and no lock screen security

Hello,
I've been using my new note 2 for two weeks now.. and I like it so much
I also used sgs2 and 3 before.
I'm not new to android.. I flashed roms, know every single setting in the device, rooted my sgs2 and tried lots of apps to customize them.
Regarding my issue, I like to set my device to none screen security because I always manually lock it with a press on the lock screen button after I do whatever I want to do with it, and to unlock I always press Home button to get back to where I was immediately without the need to swipe the lock screen.
The problem is when I lock it and there is an app running and then press the home button the screen goes to home default screen and do not just unlock the screen and keep it there where I was last, this was not the case with my sgs2 or sgs3.
If I press the lock screen button instead it does what I want but I prefer to use home button because its much easier.
Its not a big issue but its annoying sometimes because sometimes I get popup notification windows while the phone is locked (whatsapp for example) and I press the home button to see it and instead of just turning on the screen to see the window it goes back to home screen and the popup is gone, or in cases where I'am writing an email or reading something and meanwhile talking to somebody, if the screen gets locked, If I press the home button everything is gone. So I have to switch tasks to open my activity again.
I don't know if this is a jellybean issue or hardware (homebutton).
I know its not a big deal but I would appreciate if somebody can help get around this

It seems to be a jellybean feature no way around unless a mod comes out...
All jellybean roms in Note I had this feature and i remember seeing this thing on SGS III jellybean too
Just install the S Voice app , "voicetalk_NLI.apk".
In S Voice, set "double click active S Voice" will fix the issue.
This actually worked! Thanks
But the problem is that i use another app (home2) to control home button which makes me able to control what app runs when double clicking home or even use a combination of home with back or menu.
Its a very good app if you want to try it.
This leaves me with trying to deal with my original issue tho or just return to old factory setting

thanks man! used to annoy me so much having to open the app again
edit. There's one slight problem, now it lags a bit to return back to the home screen..

MA7 Issues?

Alright, so I updated to MA7 update, and everytime I'm in the text messaging app, and screen timesout I hit the home button and instead of turning on the screen and showing me my messaging app, it would turn screen on and show my last message and then get me the task manager screen.
Any one else have issues like that, does seem to happen when I'm not in the messaging app.
Ninja edit, ok so now it seems like everytime I use the home button it gives me the task manager ugh.
no issues here running smooth so far

Well did a hard reset it seem to went away.
So before if i let the screen timeout and i press the home button it would turn on the screen and the last viewed window. Now if I let it time out it just goes back to the lock screen, so wondering if this is a setting, or a glitch from before. Kind of nice to now have to swipe to unlock all the time.
Now its back againan this is annoying.

I just updated and I dont seem to have any problems with this rom other than battery so far. Dropped 30% in an hour..
Someone try it see if it does it to you or not, I have my screen set to timeout after 30sec and smart stay and smart rotation is on.
So open like text messages, wait till the screen timesout and immediatly push the home button, this for me bypasses the swipe to unlock screen and brings up the task manager/app switcher. If I wait more than a few seconds and then hit the home button it turns the phone on to the swipe to unlock screen.
If anyone test it that would be cool.

Operates the same as you describe here. . But for all I know it could be that way on every version cause I use the power button to turn the screen back on..

The only issue I have found is with my S-Notes. I had one completely dissappear and a few others somehow became locked and I don't know what the password is so I can't view or delete them.

If I hit the wake button right after it times out it goes straight to the app I was in. I like it. I hate the gallery though, it's laggy and freezes almost immediately.

My thoughts exactly. I might try restoring to my ma5 and trying to redo it from a fresh download and see if that changes anything.

How I can disable annoy button?

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.
