Help Massive failure of my Note 2 tonight

Anyone want to talk about being bummed out.

It started earlier today, I noticed I had two empty home screens so I tried discarding them and when I dragged them to the trash the screen froze up and then went black followed by a pop up that said something like "unfortunately touch wiz has stopped working, try again". After a few more tries I decided to do a hard reset, after setting everything up all over again it happened again so I did another hard reset this time I reinstalled every app individually and checked in between each app install. It seemed to have worked, I was happy. Minutes later I grabbed the Note 2 to text my sister and when I pressed the home button ALL my apps were gone and the phone was completely factory reset apparently doing this on it's own in the few minutes I had set it aside.

Now....It won't even turn on, it is dead dead dead, I removed the battery, tried plugging it in, you name it. Here is the best part, my 30 days are gone, the phone is mine, can't return it.

Ideas?

Thanks:confused::(
 
I agree with g2manhou, as far as I can tell you're the only one who posted here with this issue. It might be a defective unit, and you should be able to return it for a replacement with your warranty.
 
Hi All,
I'm heading to Best Buy today to see what they say/do. I'll update later. Thank you.
P.S. The Note is still dead
 
So what did they say? Did BB replace it?

Hi all,
So i went into Best Buy and started to tell the guy what the Note did and he showed me 4 opened boxes in the cabinet that were returned within the past few days that he thinks were all exhibiting the same issues. I was going to get another one but all he had was one white Note, mine is grey. There was another Best Buy about 10 miles from me that had one but I decided....rolling my eyes to try another Optimus G:o I know I know. I'm going to give the LG a day or so as I already see another overheating LG here. I loved the Note 2 except for it's size, it was love and hate at the same time. If the LG fails I'll go back to the Note.

Is anyone else seeing Touch Wiz crashing and all apps disappearing ?
 
I ordered mine from Amazon Wireless and have no issues. It sounds like that Best Buy store got a bad batch.
 
Same issue happened to me but i got it fixed.

go into developer options and turn them on

rutn all the animation scales off and also turn off the duration scale. reboot your device and the extra screens should be removable :)
 
Hi

I experienced the same behavior when I disabled animations. After enabling them, and restarting the mobile, the issue was resolved.

Thanks so much!! Worked for me too! I was so worried something was wrong with my phone. Figures, I did it to it myself. lol
 
Back to the Note 2 after a couple of very defective overheating Optimus G devices.

After reading the above responses I wonder if I had a bad Note 2 after all?? Don't know why my apps disappeared...

Hi hopes this one runs smoother
 
I'm having this happen to almost all my apps Unfortunately so & so has stopped grrrrrr
dont want to do a reset...
