Screen & Home button don't function - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

After installing Kitkat on Note 3 lte I noticed that the screen freezes and doesn't respond to finger touch. Also the Home button doesn't respond to finger pressing. I have to use S-Pen instead. After a few minutes the note 3 becomes normal... Could it be the Kirk rom that causes it... I'm open to all suggestions except taking it to the service center because of warranty void.. Thanks in advance...

Need App info for Gesture lock/unlock

I need info for any app which can lock/unlock the N4 using any alternative way like gesture etc, I don't just want to press the power button every time. Seems like pressing power button too much would damage it in long run. I tried cover algorithm but it doesn't seem to work for me. I'm on stock rom without root. I'm noob too

You will need to be rooted
Check this thread out Touch Control aka Slide to Wake
Since the day i have bought N4.. I hardly remember using the power hardware button. Below are the apps i use for powering on my device and turning off the screen.
- Smart screen on
- Screen off
And for manually setting the volume, you can use Power Toggles.
Note: you do NOT need to be rooted to install all these apps.
Hope this helps.

Proximity sensor

Just updated my firmware to MJ6 and everything is great apart from when I make a call and press the call button the screen immediately goes off and I have to press the home button to reactivate the screen this didn't happen on previous firmwares so I'm wondering if it's a bug other people are experiencing. ?

Phone won't wake during call

Hello,
Anyone having the same issue I'm having? During a normal call my phone won't wake when I remove it from my ear. Even if I push the home button or power button it won't turn on at all. This is a problem especially when I want to end the call or select different options. It seems like the phone is still up against my ear and the touch screen is not active. I don't know of this is a proximity sensor problem software problem. Any help is much associated. Thank you in advance.

Try to clean the proximity sensor.
And type this on your dialer *#0*# to check if there is an issue.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I did the test and seems like it's working. Even during the test Sometimes it still doesn't turn off on its own. Any other suggestions? I doubt it right.

Accidentally pressing capacitive buttons while locking screen

Hello xda fellas,
Since i switched to a i9505g rom i have a problem with my lockscreen.
Almost everytime i lock my screen and put the phone on the table i accidentally touch the capacitive buttons what causes the display to turn back on.
It turns just back on if i hit the capacitive buttons 1-2 sekonds after locking the screen but its enought to turn the screen everytime back on and drain some battery juice.
Does anyone know how to disable the screen off blocking with the capacitive buttons?
Thanks in advance
