[Q] Note 3 unlocking screen bug - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

[Q] dismiss all button

Hello everybody, there is a "dismiss all" button on the notification shade of the nexus 4, next to quick settings, and I accidentally pressed it and it erased all my notifications. I was wondering if there is a way to restore the notifications? Thankyou in advance
The only thing I can think of is a reboot but why would you even want them back?

truth is that i am new with the cellphone and i had like 5 notifications and havent read them all and while playing i pressed the button without knowing the consequences. its not that big of a deal but it just got me curious. btw, how do i reboot my cellphone? leave the power button pressed right?
thanks anyways
happens. usually they come back after reboot. i dont know the internal rules for that but i observed they often do. anyway, you know the apps that can throw notifications, they're all listed under settings / accounts. takes you 10 sec to check them for new content.

Thankyou! i didnt know that they were listed under settings / accounts. im gonna try that soon :fingers-crossed:
well not all of them, any app can push notifications, but those that sync with your phone are usually listed there.

Rebooting can also be done by just turning it off and on again.

Smart stay 'eye' icon always present

Hi all,
I would like to ask if any of you have this same thing.
I have tried to disable all of the smart stay / smart scroll feature of the phone, yet I still see the 'eye' icon in notification which indicated that the feature is still on. Is it just me or you guys have the same thing?
I already tried to turn off the phone, remove the battery, turn on again, it still there.
I don't want to hard reset yet, as maybe something else I could do, or maybe it is supposed to always stay there.
Thank you.
I9505.
On this phone the eye icon is always there but since no active - it is still dimmed. no problems all.

Hi,
If you go to settings/my device/smart screen, and uncheck everything,the eye in the notification bar disappears.

Hi, no luck. I try that as soon as you inform me. But it still there. Any other suggestion? May I know you using I9505 or I9500? Perhaps different built?
Thanks

4.2.2 and Dashclock

Does anyone have installed Dash Clock yet and has also the same issue, that it uses only the upper third of the screen?
I have to swipe down to see all entrys.
Maybe it's because of the "Swipe up or down..." what doesn't disappear anymore.
I'm using here and it's normal.
Can you take some pics with the problem for compassion?

Ok, thank you.
Tis is my first phone with 4.2 so i thought there is missing something

After unlocking how do I get it to go immediately to my home screen?

After unlocking my phone with my password, it goes immediately to my phone keypad. How do I change it to go immediately to my home screen instead? I've searched through my settings multiple times and in the user guide and have searched online and I can't find anything. Does anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance!!
Are you using the stock launcher?

Sorry to sound dumb, but ... I have no clue. How can I find out?
When swiping the lockscreen do it in the center, if you swipe close to the left it will trigger the phone shortcut and it will launch the phone app

Screen Flickers After Unlock

Anyone else experiencing this? Just a quick, single, black flicker when unlocking, happens with both PIN and FP.
[UPDATE - SOLVED]
The solution for me, and a few other users, was to open Samsung pay to re-authenticate the fingerprint.
If you've recently set up FP, or added a new FP at any point, Samsung Pay will ask you when it opens to authenticate to true it up.
Once I did this, no more flickering. Thanks everyone!

Blame the superfast processor for it, when you open your phone w/fp there is a momentary flash of your lock screen it goes so fast that you can't even tell.
If you want to test my theory then put some more pronounced, bright colored lock screen wallpaper, red or shiny green and you'll see it in the blink of your eyes while turning your phone on.
Did you disable or speed up animations?

My UI 'reduce animations' switch is OFF, but I always keep the animation in dev. options at .5x(windows,transition,duration)

I think I know what you mean, I get the same on .5x, it's definitely just skipping some frames to get past the animation faster, if you set it back to 1 it goes away.

I did have animations set to .5x in dev options, but setting it back to 1x didn't affect it.
The phone unlocks and I see my home screen for .1 second, then it does the super quick black flash, then home screen again.

I can't help, but I know what the problem is and Samsung can definitely fix it.
If you unlock the phone while the lock screen is on you won't see any flickering, it only happens when you unlock from screen off/aod, it should go straight to the home screen at this point, but it goes through the lock screen for 0.1s instead.
Here's a GIF of the flicker: https://gph.is/g/ZO3dRgZ

Changed lock screen to plain black, left wallpaper, still doing it, weird.
I guess I'll try a factory reset at this point. It's quite annoying and makes it seem kinda unpolished.

It could be a Snapdragon only issue, try asking other Americans about it.
I made a slowmo gif showing how mine unlocks:
I have the Snapdragon and this is not happening to me...
