Hmm. I noticed today that about 3 rows of my screen died but still show light. Well lets say about a 1/4" long each line...not the full row. Looks like I'll be taking it back for an exchange. There goes my Clearfreak screen protector.
If I need to wipe the phone. How do I do a factory reset?
menu, settings, privacy, factory reset.

I'm sorry. I was use to doing a full wipe instead on the phone like the G1. I'll do this.

Put it in bootloader there's some clear cache options and I think another that should do it..

Ok So I'm Just Making An Account With XDA But I've Been Modifying My Phone For Almost 2 Months Now. Currently, I'm Running PAC-Man Rom 23.0.0 With Franco Kernel 3.4.0. Touch Control + Nexus Louder, Blah, Blah, Blah. Anyhow, I Might Be Posting This In The Wrong Forum But Bear With Me. The Other Day, My Phone Randomly Resetted And When It Came Back On, My Soft Keys Were Gone. Idk How To Get 'Em Back And I Don't Even Know Why They Disappeared. Help. I'm About To Throw My Phone Cuz I'm Pissed. I'm Forced To Use Both Pie Controls Which Makes It Hard To Use All My Apps. :crying:

PIE controls are not hard to use. It takes some time to get use to. Relax buddy.
There should an option in settings to diable PIE and bring back the soft keys. Perhaps you're on Expandable desktop mode. Try holding the power button until the reboot, power, and airplane options appear. If there is an option for Expandable desktop or something similar tick it. If you can't get it back from there, try finding the option in the settings menu.
+1 to you possibly being in expanded desktop mode. Long press power and disable it, things should work as normal again.

Thanks. Ok, I Tried That. It Was Always Disabled Though.
I Wouldn't Mind Just Using The Pie Controls Because I Prefer It To Soft Keys But Besides The LMT Pie I've Always Had On The Right Side Of My Screen, It Seems Whereever (Top, Left Or Bottom) I Put The Other Pie That Has The Soft Keys, It Interfers With My Usage Of Other Apps. "/ Like, Not Being Able To Press The Shift Key On My Keyboard.

Just back those up to your PC (literally copy and paste them somewhere) and you should be fine. You can do a backup in Titanium backup or Carbon to keep your apps and app data, which will also need to be backed up to your PC.

There's no need to go that far yet. First try doing a full wipe and reflashing the rom.

Thanks A Lot. It Worked. But Now, For Some Reason, My Kill All Apps Soft Key That Was Always On The Bottom Left Above The Nav Bar Is Gone. I Still Have The Kill All Soft Key In My Status Bar Though. Any Ideas?

Well you did full wipe so all of your ROM data will be gone. You'll have to reset the settings you had previously (including that softkey).
So I just got my note 3 a few days back and I haven't had any issue until today when I find a tiny bug when I was unlocking my screen. When I unlock my phone, be it swipe or pin numbers, my home screen wallpaper will blink for a sec before it go my to my current on screen which doesn't happen before as normally it will go straight into my current on screen be it my home screen or an app. Any solutions? Thanks.

Then factory reset, if you enter the wrong password 5 times you will have to wait 60 sec. to try again 3 times and if you're wrong again time to wait will be 10 minutes...what a pain in the ass, still how did you forgot the password? But you will be able to reset it only from recovery.

Yesterday I forgot to charge my phone so I left it right next to me. IDK If It's because I lap/sleep on it. The next day. The status bar wouldn't show the full thing up when I pressed \/, Some main status bar stuff got minimized and the Recent feature (I used it on my Home button btw) wouldn't work either. Is there any way to fix it?

Seems like you messed up a lot of things while you're a sleep, it's hard to figure that by just gussing, but doing a simple format should fix that, apps and contacts shall get removed, but files, media, ... will stay.

Yea .. go to Wipe > Swipe to factory reset.
Your installed apps and contacts will be removed, but it'll solve your problem.
Hi,
While configuring my new galaxy tab s6 lite, all the screens, icons, photos etc..changed from being in colour to black and white. I spent the last 2 hours reading and trying to restore the colours but i can’t. Can you help me? Thanks
You can try to see if color correction mode is turned on and set to grayscale...
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Visibility Enhancements > Color Correction.
If it's turned on and set to grayscale, it turns everything black/white

Did you try a factory reset? As long as you're logged into a google account, you should be good to go.

Thanks. I'll try that...but why do I need to be logged on to Google? Will I loose all my data if I do a factory reset? Thank you
Hi when you factory reset, it will wipe all settings to default as if you bought it brand new from the store (this is the intended result anyways). So it's likely to reset what was causing the black and white issue so long as it's software related. All of your apps will be uninstalled also. If it's a hardware failure this may require a repair shop.
As for being logged in, it allows you to sync your google data and back it up into "the cloud". For contacts, gmail, google photos etc. I suggested logging in before hand so that it could do that.
All you would have to do is log back in after a factory reset to access the same stuff as if it were never gone.
