I'm on 2.9 SC and everytime I charge my phone and turn it off. The screen turns on automatically without me touching the power button. It will do it once or twice. Online while its charging. I reinstalled SC and Odin fresh and still doesn't the same. If it has been ask sorry. But its kinda annoying. Please help.

All of the sudden my Bluetooth will not Turn on or connect. I hit on, it comes on for ten seconds then turns itself off. Any ideas? A program? Running totally stock.

Hi there!
I have the following problem with my S3 (bualf1 austrian vodafone branding )
The screen stays on after the charger is plugged and the screen turns on after charging is complete!
I've done a factory reset and the problem has seemed to solved, but yesterday the problem has occured again!
I've really tried everything (every option, enabling / disabling everything, uninstalling apps, ...)
When shutting the phone down, the screen reacts as supposed (turns off while charging )
Any suggestion for me?

same problem as mine, occured only once. my workaround is by manually lock the phone (press power button). what kernel you use?
Are you absolutely sure this is not linked to a software you have installed?
There are certain titles that allow you to leave the screen on whilst being charged. Look carefully, it could be quite obscure.
As you said, it cleared when you did a Factory Reset but has now returned ~ thus indicating a recently installed App has resumed the screen on operation.
In reference to the phone coming on when fully charged, that is normal but the most likely reason it is not going back off again is due to whatever App setting you have that is then telling the phone once the screen is on keep it on.

Stock kernel, stock (austrian branded) firmware!
Manually locking works for me, but when den charging is finished the phone's display turns (and stays) on - that is my problem!

Thats the same thinkings i have, but i didn't managed to find out, what app this could be...
the strange thing is, it works as intended when no power source is plugged (screen turns off after 30 seconds), it just doesn't turn off while charging
no idea anyone?

I'm afraid without knowing which Apps you have installed it would be difficult to find the culprit.
If it were me I would do the following:-
1. Factory Reset again only this time do it from Recovery ~ [The recovery mode in Samsung Galaxy S III can be entered by pressing the Volume Up Key, Center button, and holding both simultaneously press the Power Button]
2. From the options provided select Wipe data/factory reset and also you need to select Wipe Cache partition and then reboot your device by selecting reboot system. You now have a completely cleared system so the next stage is important.....
3. Just install the settings, nothing more and certainly don't let Google Play reinstall your Apps.
4. Connect your power cable and see if once the S3 is charged the screen comes ON to notify you it is charged BUT THE SCREEN THEN TURNS OFF after a brief period. If it does then you at least will know under the basic setup your phone is fine. Now another slow but probably most important bit........
5. Start installing your Apps (say ten at a time) and then reboot your phone when all ten are installed and again start charging the phone.
At this stage we want to see what happens after charging is complete. If all is fine you then know what Apps are installed don't effect the screen ON problem, so continue installing another ten Apps and again reboot the phone and apply the charger to see if once charged the screen turns ON then OFF.
Continue repeating this procedure until you notice after a charge the screen this time does not turn OFF.
6. Right..... you now know the problem is being caused by one of the last ten Apps you installed. So, uninstall each App in turn (making sure you reboot each and every time you uninstall) and again recharge. This should eventually lead to one individual App that has caused the problem (the remaining Apps you uninstalled from the last ten can now be re-installed).
7. Investigate that App thoroughly to see if it alters anything on your phone that is causing the problem. Also name the App so we can look at it too.
It's a slow process granted but it's the only way you are going to find out what is causing the issue.
Basically, if it's happening from a fresh Factory Reset (via Recovery using the methods I mentioned above) then it's an issue directly with the phone.
If all is well then it's an issue with an individual App.
Good Hunting......
Same thing happened to me today and i never noticed it happen before..
Went to plug the phone in and the screen was on so i figured "Oh it will turn off after 15 seconds like usual" came back 5 minutes later still on.... uhh okay, so i hit the power button the screen went off.. I went to the restroom came back.. SCREEN BACK ON AGAIN? hmmm dubya tee eff? Turned it off again with the power button.. This time it stayed off..
Stock firmware latest upgraded 2 days after the 4th of the july.
Which firmware do you have?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Well, that's what i've done:
1.) factory reset
2.) reinstall all settings and mailaccounts
3.) reboot and see if it still works
4.) install and configure 5 apps
5.) reboot and see if it still works
6.) repeat steps 4. und 5. as long as all apps are reinstalled and reconfigured
and so, finally the guilty app was found!
EXTENDED CONTROLS causes the problem, that the screen stays on when a charger is plugged!
Tested it on all 4 own mobiles, all of them are working as normal again!!!
THANKS BEARD!!!
Does anyone have issues with the screen turning on when you're using the phone with a headset? When i'm on the phone, the screen will randomly turn on. I'll hit the power button to turn it off, and it'll turn it self on again, a couple mins later. Is there something I can do to stop this?

I've noticed this too on occasion with my phone, though it's not consistent. Doesn't happen every time. I'd love to find out why as well.
Mine does the same on bluetooth. Drives me nuts.

I have a similar, but opposite problem. Smart Sense activates and turns off my display after every call regardless of incoming or outgoing, and regardless of my timeout settings. Anyone else have this problem?

I have the same problem. It's a very annoying bug. Unfortunately, I haven't found a solution for it.
I've also noticed my phone does this when I'm on speakerphone.
Hello,
I have a 4.2 which seems to be off and refusing to turn on, even to the recovery screen. The reason I'm not declaring it a brick is because it occurred suddenly after installing and attempting to open a non-root app, ScreenDim, off the Google Play store. I am rooted, but I haven't had any issues with it. Normally, I would consider that the app just turned my screen black, except holding the power button for a minute or more to force a shutdown does nothing.
Any ideas? This is quite the mystery for me.
Try charging it to see if anything happens

is it dead? i wasnt flashing it or anything, it was working last night, and i tried to turn the screen on today as my blue light was flashing this morning (i probably had a message) and it wouldnt turn on, so i pulled battery and this didnt work either, the phone was not on charge either,
now no matter what i try it justs dark screen,
Could be hardware issues. Send to service centre.

Try going to download mode and flash another firmware. You may also try to force it to go to download mode (if ever you cant go to dl mode manually with the button combo)
If all else fails, send it to service center
