can see my status bar but nothing else

[AC Question]

on my Samsung Galaxy note 3 I can see my notification bar but nothing else. I can pull the notification bar down fine and I can switch on the S Voice but I cant see my home screen. I've tried taking out the battery but nothing seems to sort it.

The phone seems to be working ok as I'm getting notifications just cant get to them.

Any ideas

Did you install any launchers and can you open apps if you get the notification?

No nothing all I did was restart my phone. it boots up co but takes much longer to get past the second Samsung screen. It doesnt show me the security screen but goes stright to a black screen but it has the notification bar at the top. Its almost as if I've managed to switch the screen off somehow

It looks like touchwiz failed. Try booting up your phone in safe mode.

I tried that last night and I could start it in safe mode ie safe mode showed on the bottom left of the screen but the screen was still blank. Ive had messages before that touchwiz has stopped working but everything has still functioned ok

Try wiping cache partition. If still cant, backup and do a factory reset.
