hey all,
I have two problems, I had three but i searched the forum and found one the other two i can not find.
1. Sometimes my touch pro when i press the power button to lock it the four buttons on on the bottom stay on and will not turn thier backlight off. the only way to fix it now is to reset it it when it starts up. any cures?
2. I dont use any roms i just use the sprint tf that it comes with and when i use the music player on there i would like to be able to lock it turning off the screen to save battery and continue to play music. problem is when you lock it it stops the music for you. maybe a registry edit to fix?
Thanks guys I appreciate all the advice i can get

1 - Not sure.
2 - Go to my faq (link in signature)
Scroll down till you find a cab that says keep music playing.
Install it and you're good to go.
(reg location available for those who want to do it manually)
Also, if you want to use anything else in the faq,
in post one, there's a link that shows what's vga compatible.
Make sure you read that before installing anything else.

1. dunno..
2. if you just launch wmp instead you can turn off the screen.. but aboves cab sounds more like youd want so you can still use TF
Hey thanks guys, yeah that first one is sort of a mystery problem, Im thinkin its one of my apps so i just gotta go through and see what I can do. Thanks again
#1. my VZN TP does this every once and a while but all i have to do is turn the screen back on and press the end key and hit the power button again and it is gone. that works 95% of the time give or take.

Play pauses intermittently playing in short bursts as soon as screen is locked. most annoying.
Am I the only one to experiece this?
Anyone got any ideas?
I too had this problem. Playback would keep playing in spurts with major brief pauses as I walked along. The solution for me was to go into the start menu, then settings and tap on lock. Under the display tab i changed the unlock display from Windows Default (the slidey bar type) to Windows Classic.
Now i don't have any pauses from coreplayer when the phone is locked.
I also disabled the auto screen orientation change as it seemed to be that the pauses would happen when the phone tried to change orientation but the problem didn't go away until I changed the lock to classic. Before the phone was unusable as a mobile music player (unless I left the screen unlocked) - now it is only unusable as a phone due to the call quality problems.
Sorted.. thanks alot. My call quality aint great but I find it useable. another strange one is when I have the toshiba home screen on I often get the 'not enough memory' prompt, sometimes with just a couple of programs running. Ihate the guady stripey thing anyway but there does seem to be a ram issue.

I have the same issue, but in my case I left the win default lock screen with slider. Instead, I tried to play mp3 files with windows media player (the default one) - it is working properly so far (1 day of testing while walking)
what I would like to be able to solve though is switching off the screen completely so it does not light up in the pocket waiting for me to slide for unlock...
If I press the power button, the playback stops...any suggestions please?
One way is to use psShutXP
Then try to make the divice go to Display off not power of.
Another way is to use AE Button Plus
Then assign a key function for Display off. for example you can assign double volume down for Display off.
i can do lock , standby , anything with a bt headset ...
btw coreplayer has its own option to "turn off display" look for it in the options menu , should work for you guys

Hello I dont know if this question respects only the LG O1 but I am gonna start from here.
I had my phone on my desk and suddenly I found out that
the lock screen is gone (when I press the lock button the screen just turns off)
the home button was not working - responding alone
the airplane and silent mode were gone only power off selection existed when I had the lock button pressed
and all my calls were automatically reset.
I tried to reboot and remove the buttery and/or SIM but no luck. I dont want to factory reset at all is there anything I can do throw the ADB shell. Any place were I can look at
I am experiencing the exact same problem since late last night. In addition the Home button and Search button do not work (when pressed they illuminate the screen - since there is no lock anymore) however do not carry the intended function (of returning to home menu or searching).
Can someone please help! I have already sent 2 random (and one embarrassing ) SMS to people on my contact list.
I know one easy way so READ CAREFULLY
1: find and install "Power Control Plus" widget from market.
2: Add Lock on/off widget to background and disable.
It's that easy
So this is just for the lock I will see something about other stuff u said.
Thanks ljubisa_sk
Unfortunately the widget does not lock the screen - actually it has no effect nether this, nor other 'screen locker' apps in the market
My phone is branded and locked to Three Ireland (H3G).
Does anyone know whether there was some sort of OTA update rolled out automatically or something similar?
I know this is old and the issue still remains.
However, what I have seen now is that when I put the phone on airplane mode, the screen lock appears and I can slide to unlock.
As soon as the airplane mode is off, I get back to the same symptoms.
Can anyone help please??? I am really getting annoyed with my phone.
Flash a custom rom ?

but the phone is 2 months old only - I'd rather not void the warranty.
I was hoping for a solution here as I'm not in Ireland anymore to send it to the Three store.
Better void warranty, lg os is the most crappy thing I've experienced.after first inversion of void Rom I was stunned by it's speed and with the touchscreen fix you will experience new powers of this cheap phone.I've voided my warranty in the first month . Good luck.

weird and terribly disappointing. Once in atleast 15 unlocks, when I press the power/wake button, screen just doesnt respond. I try to swipe, but no response. But when I press wake button to turn off screen and press it again, theres no issues. This happens only during unlocking screen. Did anyone face this issue?
rest all is good..no lag..once unlocked phone works perfectly...no lag..no getting stuck..again, let me tell u this issue happens once in 15-20 lock/unlocks.
I think I have the same issue as you, but in case I don't I will post what I am seeing on my device.
In about the same frequency, say once in every 15 unlocks from phone sleeping, the screen will come on but will be completely unresponsive. Doesn't matter if it is swipe unlock or pin code etc, there is no response to touch input on the screen. In fact, I think the screen is just frozen or the operating system is causing the lock screen to hang.
If the lock screen is hanging, pressing power will:
(a) sometimes make the phone sleep again
(b) make the phone screen kind of glitch/blip and then it takes input again
(c) does nothing and the screen remains on and hung/frozen
Occasionally mashing both the volume key and power key will help fix it, but usually if it is completely stuck I have to do a hard reset (holding HOME+VOL UP+POWER and then selecting reboot from the menu).
Now - I think this could be an app, but not sure.
When I first got the phone, set it up with my Google account etc, it went ahead and downloaded ALL the apps I had installed on my previous phone (HTC Sensation running Android ICS). So if it is an app, it is having issues with this phone, not the OS, imo.
I uninstalled all those automatically downloaded apps, and used the phone for a bit without my normal stuff installed. Then started installing apps singularly.
I think it is either Facebook or Alarm Clock Xtreme. The latter makes more sense given it would be polling the system to find out when to go off, so it is doing more in the background I would expect than Facebook or any other non-system app.
Other apps I have installed/running:
Swiftkey X
3G watchdog
Dolphin Browser HD
ES File Explorer
Winamp (locks without this running or running at all in lock screen mode, so that is not the issue)
Real Calc
Google Drive
Facebook
Alarm Clock Xtreme
It is quite frustrating for a brand new phone to have these issues. Not sure if it is hardware related, and if it is, I want to find out soon so I can take it back to carrier within their 28day device swap RMA period.
Thoughts?
So others may try to help or identify the possible cause / fix .......
What is your firmware version?
Are you rooted, custom ROMs or Mods etc?
Stock ROM,Baseband : XXLE8. Build No :XXALE9.
But my screen responds after i press wake button again. You are right seems to be issue with the app. i will just compare your apps and below are the ones which are common between us.
Facebook
3G watchdog
Dolphin Browser HD --i never use
Google Drive
a fix that worked for me
Steps to the solution that worked for me (so far) were to uninstall:
1. Alarm Clock Extreme (no noticeable result but I wasn't needing that application anyway)
2. I had WIFI Fixer installed because of the problems I experienced with the WIFI connectivity on my Galaxy S3.
I disabled that application and problems seemed to go away for a time, but every so in a while they resurfaced. Much less often than before, though.
I was still stuck with my WIFI problem anyway, so I looked into solutions for that problem and since I could not find a workable solution I uninstalled Wifi Fixer and started tweaking my WIFI settings.
While doing that I noticed that disabling "Network Notification" under the Settings -> WIFI -> Advanced tab fixed both my problems.
Now I can't be 100% sure this solution works for all, but I am pretty sure the application that created the problem was "WIFI Fixer".
It's been more than 4 hours now without the "disabled unlock screen from hell", and I’m very happy.
LOOOL
Actually...
My WIFI problem was not solved.... but I found a solution on another forum , which you can read below:
I dialed *#0011# then pressed menu button, then selected WIFI, and pressed the button to turn off the "WIFI power save mode". Hit back until I was back in the homescreen. WIFI has worked to my satisfaction ever since.
This is not a solution, this is a work-around....
It will remove the standby wifi.... My phone was at 0% battery in one night... But actually yes, the phone doesn't hang up when unlocking.
Someone who had replaced the phone could tell me if the problem is solved with a new one ?

This looks like a bug from wifi, i had the same problem and i found a fix:
On the dialer type: *#0011#
Then press menu -> wifi, there is a button ON ( power saving or something ), change it to OFF.
let me know if it solves ur problem
It worked!!

I seem to have another problem. When unlocking the phone the screen turns on in a quite ok amount of time, but then when I touch it immediatelly after it turns on it doesn't react to touch. This moment when touch is not working is getting longer and longer depending on how long the system is running, anybody else sees this?

Not sure what ROM and kernel you are using, but at a big guess, try reflash another kernel or with less aggressive settings.

hey guys. I have a problem with my s3's lock screen similar to the described. whenever I press the power button to unlock, it takes 2 second for the screen to turn on. Anyone got any ideas on that?
hi everybody,
when installed quick lock widget into GSIII from market it worked fine at first day:fingers-crossed: but later when i press on the icon the phone does not lock as usual way but the screen blinks twice and then stay lock screen illuminated until display off time pass:silly:
i tried several other widgets from market but the same happen does anybody have an idea what happened
i would appreciate your help and thanks in advance
Nobody knows about this issue
my old 'screen off and lock' widget had the same problem, must be something on the S3 firmware that all the screen lock widgets are incompatible with
i've not yet tried to find one that works, using the power button for now
*i think this one might work because it does not act as a device administrator but just puts the display off after 5 seconds*

Hello everybody.
I have a rooted 4.0.4 XXLFB Galaxy S3 and have noticed a problem.
Whenever I'm on a call using my blueooth headset, the screen turns on once every 30 seconds, give or take.
It's a problem because if I have the phone in my pocket, sometimes I mute the call, other times I turn off the headset...
Does anybody know how to solve this?
Thanks in advance.
Posting to add a "me too" to the list. Trying a ton of different things, almost to the point of clean device.
Hit the button and the screen turns off, about 2-5 seconds later, screen turns back on. Does not matter what I do. Seems to do it with speakerphone option too. If neither Bluetooth nor speakerphone are used, and you put the phone to your ear, backlight stays off. Otherwise, it automatically turns back on by itself. Tried with wifi on/off, speaker with bt on/off, different headsets, etc. My Wife's does not have this issue, so I gotta look into what is different. There has gotta be a setting or app installed that is doing this. I've even tried apps such as screebl and others. Some even had a thing to say lock it off till press button, and it still comes back on after 2-5 seconds. I've muted and hung up on many people when the phone was in my pocket because of this issue.
I've not used a BT headset but i'm thinking that maybe because the phone isn't against your head the screen comes on. possibly to give you information about the caller.
I'm not saying you should put the phone to your head even though your using bluetooth either.
thanks, but, don't help, tried that too. Had entire top half of phone covered during most tests. Screen does not turn off unless I press button, then comes back on automatically after 2-5 seconds. I did find one app today that seemed to work, but not sure if it works too well "Smart Screen Off".
Sounds silly but have you tried locking the handset?
That's what I meant by pressing the button. Button on right side that if I am not on a call, turns off screen and locks it.
Ok - narrowed it down a ton. If I leave the in-call status screen up, the screen turns back on after being turned off via power button. If I hit home or have any other screen active, it remains off. So dialer related, but I can deal with an extra button press.

agree with the above. if you leave call status up while connected via BT headset, screen remains active (comes in and out). if you exit active call status (ie press home) then the screen timeout works. if you are talking on the phone without headset, no problem.
so yes, that's the prob. any solid fix yet?
please and thanks....

Thanks a lot, visegrip. It was really frustating having to redial every other call because i hang up without noticing.
Any solution to this problem? Hitting a home button and locking the phone is not an option when I keep my phone in a leather holster on my belt. That's a main reason for having bluetooth as hands free.

You know, I use tasker and have been trying to figure this out for a while. I've also been trying Secure settings and Locale Using multiple settings and plug-ins. I have not been able to create anything yet that seems completely reliable.
Not trying to be rude or anything, but I am and always have been a little leary of installing APK files unless I know the source. However, if you would be so kind to post the contexts and tasks so that I may enter them myself manually, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Well, It's pretty easy.
Profile -> Phone Offhook
Task:
Wait 20 seconds
App-> Go Home
Display -> System Lock
In case if you'll have any problems just use my apk file which is exactly the same.
Good news! I just took the Jelly Bean update from sprint & this problem is FIXED!
I tried calling and turned off the screen and it stayed off!
I also called and didn't touch the screen and after the timeout, it turned itself off!
Hmmmmm... OK. Thank you. I'll have to try that and see how it works. I was looking, hoping and working on trying to get something that would keep the screen off. Dialing, talking and ending the call. I've got something that seems to work for the most part, (I still get quick flashes, which is fine) but still have some more work to do on it.
