[Q] No lock screen after 4.3 update - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi to everyone.
I flashed my N7100 with stock 4.3 ROM. I did flash via Odin 3.09. Phone was not rooted or modified before update.
After update (which went OK), I noticed there are 2 problems:
1. No lock screen possibility (all options are present in Setting menu), but phone will not lock
2. Power button only works like: short press -> screen off, long press power off. There is no menu after long press to offer ****down, restart, airplane mode.....
Does anybody know is there a way to fix this???

[Q] Regarding Factory Reset

Well Hello there, my name is poszy and i am having a very difficult experience.
So about a week ago i rooted my Acer A100 because i wanted cynogenmod, (i was running stock ICS)Long story short i bricked my tablet because CWM froze while i was wiping my tablet.
i did all of the following
1.) Rooted Tablet
2.) unlocked bootloader
3.) installed clockwork
All of these steps were done with the methods found here, Maybe it bricked because i was on Stock.
Anyways, i was lucky enough that my tablet only bricked to the point where it only looped during the android logo.
I am able to access the bootloader, but as soon as i tried to go back to ICS stock (because that was the only rom i could go back to and try to bring my tab back to life) that locked the bootloader. so now i have the stock bootloader. Everytime i try and flash a stock ICS update.zip it does not go past the android logo.
So i tried to flash the Honeycomb stock Acer_A100_1.014.08_COM_GEN1 Via stock recovery, and it all flashes well but for some reason it keeps asking me for a password.
i obtained the Acer_A100_1.014.08_COM_GEN1 from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1307046
Stock Recovery seems to be working fine because when i power on my tab it loads into honeycomb but i cant get past the first screen because it keeps asking me for a password. :crying:
i have tried to do a hard reset with the pinhole but that does not do anything. Every Honeycomb stock rom i try to recover from always tells me to enter a password and every ICS rom i try to flash with the default recovery will not boot past the android logo.
on honeycomb i cannot do anything, i cant mount storage or access app drawer or anything because the pinlock dosent allow me to.
Can someone please help me and tell me what im doing wrong?
i was fortunate enough to make a nandroid of my ICS stock rom, but thats no use with a stock recovery right?
Since you flashed a stock rom, you should have a stock recovery, locked bootloader and unrooted. So you should be good to go, to just do a normal factory reset. To get rid of the pin lock.
-----------------------------
-Press and hold the Volume up button. Which is located farthest from the corner.
-While still holding the Volume up button, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds and then immediately release it. Continue holding the Volume up button.
-The tablet will vibrate in approximately 1-2 seconds after you release the power button, once you feel or hear this vibration, slide the screen lock switch on and off repeatedly while continuing to hold the Volume up button.
-As soon as the Erasing Userdata... message appears in the upper left corner of the screen, release the Volume up button and stop sliding the screen lock switch. You should then also see the Erasing Cache... message below that as proof that your device is being wiped.
Many thanks

Don't know how a screen replacement would affect root, but in you place I would just flash back to stock using ODIN, so that I may start fresh.
Also, you should get a newer rom (doesn't have to be TW 4.3, but jedi is on version 20 right now) as newer roms contain bug fixes and improvements.

[Q] Welcome screen and Lock screen missing after flashing STOCK ROM

Hey! Need some help if possible. I was messing around with my Captivate Glide. Tried to install some other ROM's but all of them made the phone lost the baseband and IMEI (EFS). I tried restoring the EFS using EFS Pro Tool, but my phone is not being recognized while on CM 11. I decided just to flash back to stock, using the I927UCLJ3_I927ATTLJ3_ATT (which was the only ROM that was showing up the IMEI and got connectivity).
Something that's been bugging me is that after doing all this, the phone boots normally, but there was no welcome screen, it just jumped straight to the main menu without asking for the google account. On top of that, the power button no longer shows the options it did before (reboot, power off). With one press it powers off the screen. If I press it for 2 seconds the phone turns off. There's no even a lock screen on my phone. I've been unable to set lock screen security options. Any options that I select are useless. They do show up under settings, but they don't do anything.
I've been trying everything to get this options back, but I'm not sure how to. I've already flashed my phone to stock, tried with other ROMS, using the same I927ATTLJ3 as reference (since it's the only one that shows the IMEI for me) but nothing. It was showing on CM11 though, all power options where working, as well as the lock screen options. I'm desperate now.
Any help on this?

Have you factory reset your phone? That described things can happen especially when switching between ROMs

any way to uninstall wrong AOD update on not rooted g9600 (oreo, half bricked)

Here what i did: found a newest version of "allways on display" from apkmirror and installed on my oreo g9600 phone. It boots, but only black screen and apps edge. But nothing starts from edge. Only power button work, it brings 3 option that dont work. Hard restart works, can boot to stock recovery.
The big question is it possible some how restore system without factory reset (or flashing rom)?

boot into safe mode and see if you can go uninstall the app
Press and hold the Power button again to turn on your cell phone. Immediately press and hold both the Volume Up and Volume Down buttons on your device. Keep holding while the device boots. Once your Android device has booted, you will see the words “Safe mode” displayed at the bottom-left corner of your screen

Need help plz !!!

Hi frnds.
I have a Samsung galaxy j2 (sm-j200g)
I unlocked bootloader and installed twrp.
But I can't slide the twrp button due to screen issues so twrp is useless in current situation.
Currently the phone has no system OS and I want to restore the stock firmware.
But I'm unable to boot into Download mode (it just boot by luck in rare situation).
The phone is not even charging correctly now. It shows the battery icon for 2-3 seconds and then screen disappears. The same happens when it accidentally boot in download mode.
The battery icon doesn't even show any color.
The phone turn on but only for a few seconds.
Help plz.. Thanks.
