      When you move the phone away from your ear, the keypad should appear.

      You can also launch phone app on multiwindow mode.

      Did you check the volume settings in settings – sound notifications? Sometimes, the volume button was accidently pressed.

      I think you are using the auto brightness. Maybe the ambient sensor is not accurate. You can cover the sensor and uncover it a few times to test it. If it response very slow, you can try to reboot the phone.

      You can unlock your phone with your Google account in Android device manager from a PC.

      If you also cannot retrieve your Google password, you can boot the phone into recovery mode (remove battery, wait a min, put battery back, press volume up + down+home+power buttons) to totally wipe the phone.

      Swipe left or right the space key. Actually the space button should show current language with arrows.

    I have been going nuts trying to figure this out. I am a new Samsung Note 3 user (prior to this had a BB for 4 years). I am trying to figure out what this screen is and how to get it to turn on or come up. I lock my phone and the screen goes black. All of a sudden a screen pops up almost like a slow bubble effect and on the screen I see the time and it will also show me if I have any emails or texts and a few other things. Then like 2-3 seconds later it disappears and the screen is black again. I have been trying to figure out what this screen is called and how can I get it to come up but it seems to have a mind of its own. Any help would be appreciated.

      This is lock screen. When you have new messages, email or voice-mail, it will light up and show the preview of the message. If no action is taken, it will black the screen again. It will light up again only when a new message arrives.

      are you still using QWERTY keyboard? If yes, tap the first button in the last row.

      If you switched to 3×4 keyboard, you can switch back in Settings–Controls–language and input, tap the gear icon next to Samsung keyboard, tap English under Input languages, you then give the option to switch back to QWERTY keyboard.

      I don’t think there are any settings for this in Note 3. it will also drain your battery very quickly.

      Maybe, you can check whether there are any apps for this.

      There is no 4.2 firmware for Note 3, which starts with 4.3.

      Also any downgrade should be done in Samsung service centre. Android does not provide roll-back feature.

    My note 3 will not turn using double click when screen is off. News comes uo instead. I’ve read many forums and tried them all bit no luck. It does work if screen is lit.

      Some apps can do this, for example, Flash Notification for All App: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manzy.flashnotification

      This was removed in Galaxy Note 3 for unknown reasons. You may use scrapbook, although it is not convenient.

      Alternatively, you may use third party apps, e.g., Pocket (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ideashower.readitlater.pro).

      Some third-party browsers may also support offline reading.

      In Note 3, the bar is transparent. So the final color depends on the wall paper you are using. You can try a different wallpaper.

    I lost the option to enable the effect on the unlock screen. It was there initially. I added an ActiveSync account (Exchange) and I think there were a lot of restrictions and this is when the effect (and option to select it) disappeared. I have sense deleted the account and removed ActiveSync. However, the option has not re-appeared. How can I get it back?

    Thank you.

      do you mean the unlock effect? You can try to change the screen lock to pattern or swipe. Then lock the phone, and unlock it.

      If this does not work, you can try to set lock screen to pattern. Lock the phone. Then use wrong patterns for a few times, until you get the option of “forget password”. Use your Google account to unset the lock screen settings (This may not work in some regions). Check whether you get the option.

      The final way is to do a factory reset of the Galaxy Note 3. You must backup all your data before resetting.

          The assistant menu should always be available once enabled, it is actually even available the lock screen.

          Did you check whether it is on: Settings–device–accessibility–assistant menu (under mobility)? (Green means on.)

          If it is checked/on, but you cannot get it after unlock the phone, it usually caused by some other apps, especially some third-party apps related to task manager, or battery life saving. You may check whether you installed such apps.
