I've searched and searched and search, to no avail! Those of you that had the S3, do you remember in the call log you could slide your selection to the right to make a call or slide your finger to the left to text.....instead of tapping to make the selection? Well it seems on the S4 you can only slide left for text and you have to tap to make a call. Is there any way to change that to slide right to make a call. I really miss that feature.
I can "slide right" from the log and it initiates a call. Same from contacts. Left if for text. I'm still on MDL...maybe something changed in MF9? Did you reboot and try again? Are you stock?
Try placing your fingers on the center of the screen of the contact you want as opposed to on the picture.

Stock rooted MF9....It's been that way since MDL when I bought the phone. It's driving me mad. It will only slide left and not right,no matter where I place my finger. I guess I have a hardware problem and a trip to Sprint is in my future.... Thanks for the input!

Well, they will have you do a full reset before they give you a new phone so you may as well back up your phone and try it before going to Sprint.
And it sounds more like a software problem...not hardware.
Mine works as advertised, slide right call, slide left text. I'm on stock rooted mf9. What mods do you have installed? Something you installed must have broke it. Unfortunately a factory reset won't fix it since factory resets don't touch the system partition which is where the mod would be. If you want to make sure that it is not hardware related, which it can't be or you wouldn't be able to slide right at all in any app, you need to return to stock. The only way to do this properly would be to odin the stock mf9 tar file. Although, for a quick test, you could dirty flash the odexed stock rooted rom in the development section. That would overwrite the modded system files but leave your data in place. Then you would know if it works on your phone without starting from scratch.

I didn't see this earlier.... I went back to Sprint and my hook just swapped out the phone after it received a large dose of electricity!

I tried pulling the battery and the notification bar doesnt work. Everything else about the phone seems to work fine.
Help?
Is it stock or are you running, rooted with a custom rom? If you are modded I would try and wipe and reflash maybe try and use a different kernel
I'm on straight up stock. Never tried rooting before.

Good reason to root then.
On a serious note. Have you done a factory reset yet?
I just tapped Factory Reset seconds ago. Guess I'm about to find out what hpns.
Well this is an odd problem indeed..... factory reset is done and the bar still doesn't drop down -- but it does in landscape mode.
Something is wrong with portrait mode. Warranty time??
Yea, if you haven't rooted and modded, and you're experiencing that, a factory reset did nothing, I'd say take it in to sprint. Possibly the touch screen going bad in the upper area of your screen? (speculation) If that does happen to be the case, they can swap out the screen at the store, if they have a repair center there. So yea, yer Evo is sick, take her to the doc.
Anyone else have issues with drawing a pattern to unlock your phone? over half the time, when I try to draw the pattern, it will only pick up half of what I draw. If you keep trying it will keep doing the same thing. Only fix is to shut the screen off and then turn it back on again and then it will work. Anyone else experience this "bug?"
I'd be willing to donate if someone could fix this. It's annoying as hell.
EDIT: I've experienced this on completely stock DI18, EB13, EC05. I'm about to the point where I don't even want to use it anymore but I would like to have some security feature to lock it. I'm currently on the stock deodexed NOCIQ ROM with DStars clean kernel.
Never had that problem but I hate that unlock screen. PITA to unlock while walking.

I had a similar problem for a while, except that it happened whether the phone was locked or not. Took it in and sprint said that touch sensor was defective, replaced the screen and it was good as new!

I had a similar problem, but found a way around it. I removed my pattern and downloaded an application called "AL II" by 'SmartDog Studio'. It's a security application that basically tricks any app you want into believing it's force closing, and in order to get it to work, you have to perform something. It's kind of hard to explain it in words, but i'll try my best. I downloaded the application, and opened it. Once opened, I chose 'Messaging' for the sake of this explanation. So I selected messaging and hit "protect". Once it says the application is protected, you just hit the menu button and change the settings to how you want. I personally chose "Rotate motion" for my selected unlock method. Basically what happens at this point is if someone picks up your phone and tries to read your messages, the application will force close (and will continue to do this forever until you perform the selected unlock method). With the "Rotate motion", you just allow the force close dialog box to pop up, then you just have to rotate your phone to have your screen facing down, then rotate it right side up again, and the force close dialog box disappears and you're back in business. There's other options you can choose such as, when the force close dialog box pops up, instead of selected "force close" you can tap on the text body of the pop up either 2 or 5 times (whichever you chose for it) and it will unlock your phone that way too. Basically what you're doing is tricking whoever picks your phone up into thinking your phone is a complete piece of garbage and they'll put it right back down because nothing will work for them. I hope that wasn't too confusing. If you wanna know more about it, just shoot me a PM and i'll be glad to explain it in more detail.

Hi,
I am having some serious trouble with my note 3.
The basics of the problem are that the lock button seems to lock the screen but once pressed again it shows whatever was on the screen before, not the lock screen!? Holding the lock button does not come up with the turn off/reset options.
Another odd thing that happens along with this is that any application that is opened or closed the screen flashes black before opening up.
Along with this I have found that the alot of the native apps, including phone, contacts and most annoyingly, CLOCK, crash also. Making me late for work and rendering the phone useless unless I do a battery pull.
I will note that the most odd thing is that I contacted our business contract guy who who i expected to tell me to do a soft reset, told me that the supplier would swap out the phone?! That was last week and the new handset is showing early signs of the same thing.
Neither phones are rooted and I have not installed any unknown sources on the new handset to be sure it wasnt an outside source?!
Any help would be appreciated.

I am having this same exact issue. First happened when I installed a SanDisk Ultra CLASS 10. I thought the card was causing me compatibility issues so I returned it to amazon. This was just a few days ago. The only thing that worked to fix this issue was to remove the battery.
On the way to work today I suddenly couldn't play any music downloaded from Google music to my device. However, I could stream music that was not downloaded to my device. I also couldn't view any pictures in my picture gallery. I tried rebooting the phone and guess what -- I got the same exact issue as the original post above.
I wasn't going to mess with my phone while driving so I made up my mind that I was going to return it to verizon tomorrow. About an hour into work I picked up my phone and it gave me the onscreen instructions to swipe up to get flip board -- same instructions it gives you after a reboot. I then tried playing the same music that wouldn't play before and it played. I tried viewing pictures in the gallery that were inviewable before and they were now viewable.
I'd like to know what is going on too. I can't just give up to the fact that my phone doesn't want to work at certain times of the day so I just have to give it an hour.

The best thing would be to remove all non-factory apps. But yes, start by removing as many of them as possible.
(If that doesn't work, do a factory reset and cache wipe through the recovery menu, and don't restore a single app. (I'm not talking abouy the bloatware, we all have those.))
If there are no problems at that point, add back your apps one by one. (no restoring anything, make sure they are clean installs.)
Eventually you should run into whatever app is causing the issue.

I reset the system to factory settings and started arranging only the installed apps and widgets and I got the same lock screen issues.
This time the phone wouldn't go to the lock screen but it would give me the option to restart or shut down. I set it aside again and when I picked it up a few later it showed me the home screen wwith instructions on how to access flipboard -- as if it was reset! I have a warranty on mine so I'm gonna return it to verizon tomorrow or friday.
VS980
Rooted, stock ROM
Update 2. "Show touch data" in developer options was checked. Why, I don't know. I didn't do it. Thanks everyone for considering this problem.
Update. The screen problem. The thing at the top of the screen is tracking the position of my finger. It is reading a vertical and horizontal position. For what purpose and how it got there I don't know. I got rid of the voice message indicator by leaving a voice message at Verizon and then picking it up. I'm on Google Voice and I don't know where my messages are going. Yuk!
I applied the OTA update and then had to fix the results. I used the terminal command from TWRP method. The phone hasn't been the same since.
Every day is a new trick. Now I have a voice message indicator that won't go away. When I run my finger across the screen it leaves tracks. There is something that looks like a stock ticker across the top of my screen. Weird stuff. Oh, and my battery life is not as good. It is still terrific, but noticeably less so.
Suggestions?

Stock works just fine for me. I rooted because I wanted the ability to back up and I thought I might rid myself of some bloat. I do back up, but the bloat is still there for now.
Hi guys,
I flashed 5.0 over the weekend and the .33/84 hybrid modem to enable LTE. I also made Google Search my home launcher.
The issue is screen becomes black, just showing the status bar and navigation bar. The system bar and navigation buttons are responsive and i can access the notification drawer/system panel but tapping on them does not remove the black screen. The only way to fix it appears to be a reboot. It started out intermittently but now it's happening within just a few minutes of each reboot.
I've tried clearing cache partition from (stock) recovery but it doesn't seem to have helped.
Thanks in advance!
The pattern I've started to notice is that it happens when I get some sort of popup. For instance I use handcent for SMS and half the timeI get a text I end up getting the black screen. I just got a Facebook message and I'd imagine the little circle that shows up on the screen caused it this time.
I've gotten the black screen a couple of times over the last few days since installing 5.0 using the factory image. All that can be seen are the navigation and status bars and there is no touch screen response at all, only a reboot solves the issue. I never saw this happen at all before upgrading.
Have you tried using the .33/1.04 Hybrid modems? I have been using them since they released and never had this happen when using Messenger or Textra and getting pop-ups.

Honestly, if it does that with the stock modems, I would reflash the factory images clean, then use this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-4/general/4-4-3-nexus-4-lte-lte-tethering-hotspot-t2416822

Just reflashed 5.0 and seems to be going okay so far (haven't seen the issue). Is it okay to just flash the hybrid modem without using the rest of the LTE enabler? I don't mind having to manually select the network after every reboot...

Yes, this is still happening and I'm just using the stock modem(not hybrid). I've also reflashed the factory image 3 times. I get the black screen at least once a day, sometimes only icons or folders or widgets disappear.
Im struggling with the same problem.
Stock 5.0 google image / With some other kernels / Even tried recent Rastapop. - Wiped System/cache/data, didnt help.
Also i have problem with connecting phones storage via USB. I can Barely access internal storage thru computer.
possible solution
Since I deactivated the app called "Tasker" my phone works just fine again... Plus that I deinstalled two other apps that required superuser rights.
Hope that helps others.
Still having this issue, even on 5.0.1 any ideas?
Okay I *think* I may have figured out the problem. I think it has to do with apps that try to enable/disable the lockscreen. I had Settings Profiles set to disable/enable my lockscreen based on location. I've just removed that setting and so far it looks like the problem may be gone.
I don't think this is a modem issue. If you Google "lollipop black screen" you'll get quite a few hits. I remember reading something last week about this bug affecting lollipop builds.
I'd say stick with the modem that makes you happy :good:
Stock modem and rooted on 5.0.1 and I have the same issue. In my case it is not random and only occurs specifically when I dial the phone from the Avast Mobile Security website (There is a test mode to call the phone). Not sure how they dial into the phone but the screen goes black with only the notification bar on top and navigation buttons on bottom. The notification bar works but the navigation buttons do nothing until the incoming phone call ends, at which time everything returns back to normal. Regular incoming phone calls do not exhibit this behavior. Now if I access the phone from the Avast website by entering a text message instead of a phone call, a pop-up appears on my phone along with my message, but it does not cause the screen to go black.

Hum, sounds like it could be what I am experiencing...possibly a pop-up interfering with the phone call screen.
EDIT: (SOLVED). After contacting Avast via their forum, it turns out that they are doing this on purpose. It is supposed to prevent a thief from ending the call, although that is as simple as restarting the device.
