MA7 Issues? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

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.

Lost virtual buttons

I've had the phone for two days now and this has happened 3 times now.
The worst one was I got a phone call but the keyboard was up and the back button wasn't there to get rid of it. So I couldn't answer the phone.
One time I couldn't exit the settings menu because the buttons disappeared.
To remedy I turn off the display, turn it back on and unlock to the camera. I think because the camera has the special hidden buttons it causes the phone to refresh the button display otherwise I couldn't find another way to do it.
Has this happened to others? I haven't seen threads about it.

I lost them once but got them back by turning the phone sideways and then back upright once the buttons reappeared.

Oh wow, yea, that would probably work too. But some apps lock to portrait (dialer).

Happened to me while I was playing a game (Reckless Gateway) and received a call at the same time. After the call, soft buttons wouldn't appear anymore, had to restart my phone
I have only lost the buttons when flashing a mod that was not compatible...in that situation I did not have the virtual buttons or the notification bar at all.
Never happened to me on stock or rom. What build/android is your phone? You can find info in settings>about phone

This has happened to me a couple times while using Google Nav. I just pulled down the notification bar and hit the settings button - that seemed to bring the buttons back. Strange issue.
Just a few kinks that need ironing out.. hopefully Google is aware of minor bugs like this already

Yep, exactly. Though I wouldn't call this minor because it made me miss a call.
Another thing I just noticed. Go into an app that has the menu virtual button (the three dots) then turn off the screen. Turn it back on and the menu button will be the only virtual button on the Lock Screen. You can press it and automatically unlock the phone. I'm using slide to unlock and the news and weather app to do this every time.
Edit: Just tried with a different lock (pattern) and the menu button will not unlock. But it is still there and you can press it. It just does nothing. Weird.

Pattern lock screen sometimes not centered?

Sometimes when I use the power button to unlock the screen saver, the pattern lock screen is off center. It's so far off center I can't enter the pattern to unlock the phone. I have to press the power button twice to get a new pattern lock screen that is centered.
I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this with their phone. I've got Executive Assistant running under the lock screen.
happened to me a couple of time so I stopped using pattern unlock screen. Once it got to the point where it stuck there permanently until I rebooted the phone
Happened to me a lot after removing the phone from car dock mode. Usually had to reboot, hasn't happened at all since switching to CM10 nightlies.
happens to my wife and me many times. we just do what you said.
Im guessing its a known issue because it happens to me and a lot of people I know.

Samev here happpen to me last night ivhad a call when I hung up the lock patttern went all the way to the right top side all ibdid was press power button
And thatsb it wnet back

Happens to me too. The fix is simple though:
1) Press the Emergency Call button. It should still be in place
2) When you see the number pad, turn the phone to horizontal view so that the number pad moves.
3) Press "back", the lock pattern will be horizontal for a second and then it'll flip back to its correct place!
I also had this happen many times. I turned off the lock function.
Is this on stock?

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

Lose App when screen times out

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!
I had the same problem, and found that turning the screen back on using the power button on the side left the app you were using still active.
Yes .. It seems like when you press the home button after the screen goes off it not only switches the screen on but also takes you to the home screen. This wasn't the case in my old S2.
This happens if you freezed the S-Voice app! Unfreeze and all will be good

Interesting. Apparently it happens when s-voice activation by home screen is disabled, even if the app is not frozen. I disabled it because it induces a lag to the home button.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
ok now you can choose whats more important to you
Thanks for the help on this. I had indeed disabled S-voice but even defrosting it did not solve the problem.
Using the side button instead of the home button does however bring me back to the app i was using. Thanks Silverback!
Update > restarted and now working perfectly after defrosting S-voice. Thanks Again!

Lock screen/wake up issues

Hi everyone,
I am on BlackBox 1.0.2 and I'm having some issues. First off I keep on getting this screen/widget and when I wake my phone up, it always goes to that screen even though it is not my home screen (I attached the screenshot). When I restart my phone it goes away. How can I make my real home lockscreen the one that pops up when I wake my phone up?
Also, sometimes I press the home button or the power button to wake my phone up and nothing happens and it just restarts or wakes up after like 10 seconds. I used to have a Android Weather widget on my lockscreen and when I removed it it got better but it is still doing this. How can I fix this? Also, what weather/time widget do you suggest for my lock screen?

Which lockscreen are you using? Look like swipe? If you want it to go to straight to home screen choose none for lock screen
☞ Sent from here☜???
Oh no no. I want my lock screen-home screen to be a different screen but the screen that I posted keeps on poping up and that automatically becomes my lockscreen-homescreen. The screens that I am talking about are all when the phone is locked.
Thanks

Tap and hold on whichever lockscreen widget you wish to be default, and drag to the left of your screen and make that widget the left-most "screen" in the panels of lockscreens.
Thats the problem, I cant drag it further right. I cant edit the screen that I posted at all. It goes away when I restart the phone but it soon comes back
