I enrolled in spotify premium to be able to use it on my cell phone. However, every time i start the app the phone freezes then the app eventually force closes. On top of that after it force closes when i press the screen off button the phone screen turns off and wont turn back on. I have to pull the battery. I wouldn't normally post an app related problem here but im thinking it may be my phone since the market reviews are good with some 3d users posting that it is working great on their phones. Anyone else having this problem? could this problem be caused by temp root?
I haven't had any issues with the Spotify app on my 3d. I am not presently temp rooted but I wouldn't see why that would matter.

I am creating this new thread because I haven't seen anything similar for the SGS II.
I can't pinpoint the exact moment when this started (before I rooted the phone), but my screen started turning on and off on its own.
Note that it is only the screen turning on/off, not the phone.
Has anybody experienced the same problem?
Any suspicion on the applications you have installed that may lead to this issue, third-party IM running in the background maybe; Skype, eBuddy, etc.
lol root whould have nothing to do with random reboots. What tweaks youve done since rooting might be the issue or maybe a rouge app.
The "rooting" part was just in case anybody asked
Yes, I installed Skype, but the anomaly started quite a bit after. No tweaks, couple of programs that shouldn't affect anything. The thing is that it does pretty often for two hours and then stops
I will report later when I will have more time to observe the pattern.
Have you opened vlingo voice control app? My phone started flipping out after running that app once. It messed with my screen and gps.

Well I don't have Vlingo, but the default program that comes with the phone (Voice talk, Voice command).....yes! That could be it. It did start around the time I was messing around with it (I still haven't tried the GPS).
Do you still have the problem or did you solve it?
I opened it to trying to find name of app, and all of a sudden my gps turned on and screen lite up.
So this has been happening to me for a while now on multiple firmwares, but I just today started to realize how widespread the problem is/might be. The simplest example of what happens is that my games will randomly pause while I'm playing them. I don't mean freeze up--the game will lag for a sec, then it will actually be paused as if I hit the notification bar or something. Splashtop THD is also giving me problems. At first I thought it was the app, but others have been saying they don't get frequently dropped connections. For some reason my connection drops every few minutes even with great reception. Lastly, my wifi will randomly disconnect. I have great reception and speeds, but sometimes it will just stop working and I have to turn wifi off and back on again. I really feel like all 3 of these quirks are related, and I would love for them to all GO AWAY.
Anyone else having a similar experience?
try a reboot to see if it clears things up.
RYAN used REBOOT! TRANSFORMER PRIME is unaffected!
Have you forced GPU usage in developer options?
Not yet, will try tomorrow and let you know how it goes.
EDIT: did a few games of Fruit Ninja and it seems to be fixed, but I'm anxious to see if it takes care of my problem with splashtop. Thanks for the tip!
Don't know whether this is related or a separate problem, but I've been having weird behaviour with Android Market. If I click on an update notification to jump to the Market it will sometimes drop me back to home after a few seconds, often closing both Market and the last app I was in at the same time, they both disappear from the task list too. It goes the other way sometimes with Market randomly popping open without warning.

I have the same issue, though it mostly happens with the stock browser and Pulse.
After playing around with the force rendering setting for a while, I think the problem still persists but is much less frequent. I'll be so happy if nVidia ever gets their freaking kernel/drivers to work right -.-
Anybody have an issue with random wake ups? I have noticed if my phone is just sitting itself it turns on itself as if I were getting a text or a call and ends up being nothing, I know my proximity sensor works well during calls, but can not figure out why the screen wakes. Anyone know a fix or a setting for this?

This just started happening to me today. Not sure what's going on. Nothing is different, stock rooted rom. No new apps. Same case.
Check for wake lock and clear the cache on any apps that look like they are causing wakelock and reboot phone
Did all that, I'm waiting to see if it does it again.
Okay found a new one this morning. Looks like something to do with Google maps
Edit: definitely not Google maps. AudioOut_3 is the culprit. I looked on Google and it happens a lot on a variety of different phones. There are a lot of different ideas on what it is too. Some say it's ringtone related, some say it's music player related. Anyone have any ideas?
This is after clearing maps
After listening to music force close the app you are using, after playing games or anything else that uses media services, sometimes even after task manager ends the app for more resources the services stay on. I think its so the the os feels more responsive. It's like HTC camera, launch it from a clean reboot and it will take a lot longer for the first startup then it will for subsequent start ups.
That's good advice, but this screen shot was taken before opening anything, fresh reboot, about 30 minutes on but screen off.
Well I can't think of anything else that uses audioout_3
It must be starting up after boot-up. My main player is playerpro.
I think I discovered my issue, the past week I've been flashing different roms and I have started using the superwipe zip. I had issues with each rom I flashed. Last night I reflashed the stock rom, only wiping and not using superwipe and it seems to have fixed whatever issues I was having. I'm not saying it's the superwipe, but I may have a bad download of it, or it doesn't like my phone. I'll be keeping an eye on it for awhile and report back.
Ok scratch that. It must be an app doing it. I think it might be a game called 'plague inc.' it doesn't seem to affect battery life, but it is annoying.

I had similar issue,
in my case, mp3 downloader's ad Notification was waking up my screen,
I found it out by using app "Wakelock detector" WLD at GooglePlay
you need to check for "full wakelocks", check the screenshot
SD Card Corruption
I have had the same issue on my EVO 4G LTE and just got a replacement device... still having the same problem. MY SOLUTION: Removed my SD card which recently was corrupted. This fixed my issue. Apparently the phone would register an SD card inserted every 20 seconds or so because it couldn't fully read it, waking it from sleep mode. Hope this helps!

Odd issue and I will use Pandora as an example. I usually stream music through my phone in my car over the AT&T data connection. Odd thing is, if my screen locks by itself when a song is playing it will not play the next song, due to no data connection, until I unlock the screen.
The only thing I can think of, and I admit I have not verified yet, is if it is Juicedefender doing this when the screen locks. I will test this out by uninstalling and verifying, but I wanted to see if anyone else has anything similar happening to them.
I haven't used juice defender is some time but I think unless you tinker with some of the settings. It will shut off your data anytime the screen locks. Try digging into some of the options.

I almost made this exact thread the other day. The problem is juice defender. It's actually not a problem because that's how it works by design. When you run pandora, pandora caches the song it's playing so while it's playing that song, there's no active data transfer so juice defender shuts down the data connection when the screen locks.
To fix it you can either get one of the upgraded pay versions of juice defender which let you set up a list of apps that you don't want JD to shut down the data when they're open or just do what I do........disable JD when you're running pandora.
I appreciate the replies from you both! Thanks
Hi there,
i have a SIII and i'm having a strage situation with it.. although the screen is off (no wi-fi, no data, just idle) sometimes the screen turns on, without even touching it, and off again (after the seconds that it usually takes to turn the screen off when no one touches it). This can happen 10/15 times in a row with no specific interval between them (but usually just a few seconds). And then just stops for hours..
i have NFC turned off as i though maybe i had something that would send a signal..
when it turns on, if i check the phone, there aren't any notifications at all..
anyone has seen this situation in this phone??
thanks in advance
I had it ones. I figured it happened when live wallpaper was enabled. Wallpaper was from the market, not from original firmware. It never happened with stock wallpapers though.
So if you have live wallpaper, try disabling it and see if problem persists.
I call this an android virus. This mostly happens when you install an app (most probably a free app) and it just keeps on running in the background. It keeps on turning the screen, so monitor when the problem started and remove any recent installed app one by one.
I also had this situation. When i installed a custom rom, the problem just vanished.
thanks, i will try and give some feedback
having the same problem and still have no idea what is causing it.......
I'm completely stock aswel.this is very annoying when it happens
