This happen to the every k3 device, the only work around is a quick lock and unlock, this is the only solution right now, this Will solve the problem and you can start using it normally.

I have tried it too. But even locking and unlocking device also takes more time. I normally open the recent task list and clear all programs or remove the battery and insert again. Is there any other way?

What rom are you using?

This is an Indian version model.

Try looking for an OTA update,
Or you can try downloading a newer version of the rom, here is the biggest list of roms for the K3 Note i've found

Hi, sometimes my note turns off by itself. When I try to wake the screen it doesn't wake and I have to push power button for some seconds before the note restarts. Is any if you experiencing the same issue?

Are you sure it's totally off? I had this issues when phone looked like it's turned off, but when I pushed buttons for a while it was waking up, so I didn't have to restart it. Some people recommend using jBroid Kernel Cleaning script before you flash new kernel.
And if it's happening after installing new ROM I would recommend to flash stock ROM, then doing a full wipe twice and then flashing ROM you currently use or want to use.
I don't have such problem anymore so it might help.
I'm on the custom rom, I've never rooted my device. The phone is like dead, it's not even turned off. At first I had to put the battery out and then put it in again. Then I discovered that if I pressed the power button for something like 5-6 secs it started again, with the samsung logo and all. Not a big issue but if I don't check my note often I risk to miss important calls. Please help me! Thanks

What apps do you have installed? I had this problem with both WidgetLocker and NoLed.
WidgetLocker I have just given up with - wish id never bought the stupid thing, as it's never worked reliably on my Note or my tablet! (rant over).
NoLed I traced the problem to the flash-the-screen battery saving features. Changing it to leave the screen on all the time when notifying hadn't seemed to use any more battery life and my dead screen problems have gone away.
Just something to consider!
You can try connecting your Note to the PC when running Samsung Kies software. Maybe it will find an update to the ROM you are on right now and this might fix your issue. If not you should go to the developement section of this forum and search for the recent stock rom available and then follow dr. ketan's guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1424997
If flashing new ROM wouldn't solve your problem, then I guess it's a hardware issue that requires professional service.

I think he should try a different kernel first. Another possibility is that some apps in your phone cause this problem.

I think its a stock kernel and ROM he's on... Even though he says 'custom ROM' he also says its never been rooted, so how would he get the custom ROM working if not by rooting the phone?!
That being the case it must be something interfering with the sleep mode so its probably best to check what has been installed recently, remove those apps one by one over a period of time and check if the problem goes away!
Yes it's a stock rom I am using and the issue happens randomly... Is it maybe lockscreen app? I read the users' comments and no one mentioned such a problem...

Note randomly shuts down - Did you solve this issue?
Hi,
I was wondering if you managed to solve this issue as I am experiencing the same issue where the phone randomly switches off when the screen is locked.
I am using easy battery saver app which sets the sleep schedule to check network data every 15 min.
Cheers
Galaxy Note 2 shuts down
The issue exists on the Galaxy Note 2 as well and has nothing to do with software.
The problem is hardware related. The phone is flawed and shuts off on it's own under various conditions, all hardware related. Take a look at this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SjLn2yikYnI
Also, take a look at this site I built that goes in to more detail regarding the issue: www.GalaxyNote2ShutsOff.com
One look at that short video and I am sure there will be some light bulbs going off. Be sure to read the details I provided on that site as well. They go in to detail about the problems that I have had and the lack of proper support that Samsung is willing to provide.
thanks for the heads up with NoLed....I just hope my issue ( phone's screen just dies when not in use - but I think the device is on as the headphone jack responds with the disconnection sound when unplugged) gets resolved...
I was thinking too that philz cwm may be affecting it ( kernel issues )? ...any way I will update as time passess

Well! I have been using this rom for 4 days! No problems at all! I dont use GPS and 4G but I usually play games,watch youtube videos and browse web! I like that rom! The only disappointig that am having with this 4.4.4 is the old thouchwiz!! Try to wipe data and factory reset! Or root our phone and install Grennify to kill running apps!

I have been using this for a time now...
And had no problems with it.... even with Power Saving Mode all on... (yes i never use the full 1400mhz, so 1000 is enough for my PSX games)
My only complain is that the baseband is mostly bad for my country as the signal is a little low than usual.....

Help me please

From 2 months I am trying to make roms for ubl work on my phone,but they just don't. I have a super slow phone when I install them, very unresponsive touchscreen... Please I have no more things I can try. In these two months I tried everything. Locked bootloader roms are better, but they still aren't that smooth and after a few hours I need to restart the phone, because I get unresponsive touchscreen again. I really want kitkat on my phone, because stock sucks too much with so low ram. I beg you guys for help. I am exhausted of trying and trying

Please calm down and don't spam the forum with copy paste posts everywhere as it won't get you anywhere.
Regarding your problem, if you think LBL roms are better then why don't you stick with them as they are equivalent to UBL roms in every aspect. I am on MrSteve555 M12 and can say it is smooth as silk, so what's all the fuss about?

Never seen this lag in the slightest.
I also have lag in the menu in the ui. Maybe it is from my phone? It is a little noticeable lag. Phone is working alright with 4.3, but with 4.4 it sucks

Ive run PA, Omni, PAC and CM11 and none of them have lag on quick settings or settings once the ROMs 'settled in' which is usually a few hours after install when everythings run and updated and synced fully. Is this lag happening for you on a clean phone with minimal gapps and no other apps installed?

Yes. I don't have any luck with phones. I am very sensitive to lag and I'm stuck with this phone 1 year more- good hardware- ****ty software. I like the phone, but no the software.

Use a small gapps package. It does wonders, as long as you do the following steps in the correct order:
1. Format /system.
2. Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache.
3. Install ROM.
4. Install Gapps.
5. Reboot and leave the phone alone for at least half an hour.
6. Run through set-up (if required)
7. Leave phone alone for another hour.
8. Enjoy.
Google Search seems to be a big problem for performance, even on Nexus phones. The easiest is to get a package which does not include it (Velvet.apk it is called, and it is found in /system/priv-app).
I recommend Paranoid Android's 'pico' gapps. Google it to find the post on XDA by TKruzze.

I remember running LagFix off of the Google Play Store. Someone recommended it to me. What it does is it enables TRIM on your /system, /data, and /cache partition, which, in theory should work and improve performance two-fold. It applies to the SP, which uses NAND flash to store these partitions and therefore would suffer from the afore mentioned symptom.

Don't worry if the CyanogenMod set-up app is REALLY slow, crashes, or skips steps, it happens to everyone, because the cache rebuild hasn't begun yet.

Try MrSteve build, if it fails then I guess it's a hardware issue
Sent from my Xperia SP using XDA Free mobile app
I sort of think that it is all with your mind. If you like, would you share a video showing the "lag" you've mentioned in those mentioned areas (notification sliding lag, settings lag) if you are currently running CM11. I would like to actually see it.
I would like to see a video recording of your phone by using another camera, not a screen recording or cast directly from your ROM.
With your video, people will finally could see how the "lag" is and decide if it is the normal lag, or supposedly a problem of your phone.
About touch screen sensitivity, I was unable to find a thread about the same problem (the one before you started a solution thread). I've searched like mad through the General forum. It contains a build.prop modification fix. If you could get me a link to it, gosh I would appreciate it so much and will show you to the right direction

Have you tried LagFix yet? Run it and see what happens.
Plus don't use themes unless you wipe your cache afterwards: the theme modifies SystemUI.apk and therefore the cache file is incorrect.

Wowzers. Thats definetely a memory leak there. Restart the device and that should get rid of it. What was the uptime of the device at that time?

Mine is now doing the same thing. It has slowly gotten worse And is now extremely laggy and battery life has dropped down to the point I have to use power save mode to get through 7.5 hours of work. I haven't installed any new apps and tried factory reset but it hasn't helped at all.

Have you tried doing a reboot? That will usually reset things.
I'll have a new deodexed rom posted tomorrow. Finally got all the issues ironed out with root and stuff. It'll include the memory leak fix.
