Hi
Came home from work today unlocked the tab but the display had gone murky down one side. Thought this a bit off so rebooted, display looked like it had returned to normal. It went into standby and I went to unlock it but the display wouldn't come back on!
The capacitive buttons light up at the bottom, if I remove the pen it makes the pen removal noise, if I press the lock button I can swipe the screen and the unlock sound occurs, but nothing from the display at all. I reboot the device and it's fine till I lock it again.
It was running stock TW rooted. Have factory reset and still the problem remains. Any suggestions?
Cheers

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.
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.

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?

Hi, I have the same issues. My phone does not recognize touch when it is cold. When it was in the pocket outside or facing a table. 2-3 times turning on and off the screen brings it back working.
I read an article from Sprint that there are protector foil issues with the capacitive display, but I don't have any.

Hi, I guess I have the same issue. Bought the Note II a week ago, came with 4.1.1 and it automatically updated itself to 4.1.2, so don't know if this problem was present with 4.1.1
When I press the power button to lock the screen and wait about 10 minutes, the screen becomes unresponsive, no tap or swipe works. Have tried swipe, pattern, pin for unlocking, result is always the same.
Strangely, at that unresponsive state, the S-pen works and I can unlock and do other things. At that state, touching with the fingers still doesn't work.
The only way to return the screen back to normal is, press the power button again (sometimes need to press the power button twice).
Have done factory reset, the problem is still there with both Sim card and SD card removed.
Has any one found a solution, is this related with 4.1.2 upgrade or a hardware fault ?
Thx in advance,
Regards
I have sent mine for repair. It is a pity that Samsung does not do an exchange.
It is a hardware fault for sure. I made a video to demonstrate the behaviour.

Hi there, i want to know if more ppl have this problem. Sometimes when i press the power button the device does not go into locking state, screen turns off but the screen off sound is missing. Also when i press power/home to wake the device it does not display the lockscreen. I thought i had a bad product so i swapped it with warranty and now my 2nd device also has this problem. I think its a fail in the exynos..... switching kernels didnt work either.

The only time I've ever had this issue is if I install the 23 toggles mod and try toggling the lock screen from there. It's never happened on the stock rom.

Hi all,
I hope someone experienced this too. When I lock the screen with the power button the screen in off state is still working .
When i swipe down from the top off the screen and then unlock, the status bar is pulled down.
It's problem when i put the phone in my pocket, and through the locked screen the wifi and bluetooth can be swithed on/off.
Thanks for the response!

Try to hold your phone into some very bright light then press the power button, you may see that the display stays one second longer active than the background light.
Thats True. Bur sadly it is also happening during phonecalls. The screen turns black due to the proximity sensor, but i hear clicking sound when my ear touches the screen.
