Apps can do that already. If an app isn't working when screen is off there is no way to make it do so. This is probably why no one has posted a solution because there is none.
If you post details of what you want your phone to do while screen is off maybe there are alternative apps people can suggest to do those things.

I have a browser that is like the firefox add-on, reloadevery, every minute it's refresh the page, I'm using it almost as a bot to watch the same 1 minute video again and again, it works well but, when the screen is off, it stops

If the screen is off you can't watch the video and so it will stop, that's normal. I'm not sure there is a way around it other than save the video and watch it in a media player.

Yeah, I'll do that, with brightness on 0% and screen filter, I was worried about the screen life, but not this much

I was wondering a couple of things. First of all when I watch YouTube videos and i tap the screen to show the progress bar it slows down the frame rate. And how do I manually go to the white screen after I turn the phone off to get to recovery without removing the battery because I have the otterbox defender case.
Thanks

idk about the youtube problem, use the phone in landscape mode when watching videos and touch the screen and see if that helps.
for the boot thing its called the 4 Boot. when you flash a rom make sure it has it built in ( which most do i believe) and choose to boot into recovery. i hate pulling off my case as well

As JoeyUFC said, most roms will now have the 4 in 1 reboot option. That's when you choose to restart your phone, it asks you to reboot to bootloader, recovery, hot restart, or normal restart. However, the reason you have been needing to pull your battery is because you have fastboot enabled. Shut fastboot off, by going to menu>settings>power. Then uncheck the fastboot option. That way you'll be able to turn the phone off like normal, and boot to hboot without a battery pull.
Also, there's a good app fromt he market called 'quickboot' and that will also get the job done.
As for the youtube thing, I'm not sure. I've never had that problem before.
I guess is a ROM thing. Also i tried both positions and there is a lag

I have seen that same problem. It's either you have very low battery aka power saver mode. Or slow speeds.

Clear the data in the YouTube app. Might help.

So i downloaded [email protected] battery monitor app. . Googles services had 406 wakelocks ... Is this normal??? My battery is crap on just 4g (even disabling mobile data on occasion). I get from 8am when i take the charger off till about 3pm. (maybe surf web for 10 mi.utes send a few texts, mostly the screen is off). See below... Is g services the culprit? I dont use gps either or anything for location
What app is that?
100% stock. 21 hours unplugged time and 5 hours 4 minutes screen on time. Just because they are "wakelocks" doesn't mean they are keeping your device awake. It means that they are able to. Only 35kb was sent and your device was only kept awake 69 times. That isn't much. I mean damn man, TOTAL awake time according to your screenshot is under 2 minutes lol. That isn't even denting your battery. The culprit is elsewhere.

I have the same app. Android services is at top for me and it says its using the gyroscope and light? Motion settings are off and my on screen time is only at 1h30min. What's up with this because its killing my battery.

Light is referring to the sensor. The ambient light sensor. The gyroscope and such are used for location data and screen orientation. Screen orientation is seperate from motion controls, so check and see if it's still active.

Alright. So I turned off auto brightness and set if at medium. As for the gyroscope, screen rotation is locked and has been. Its clocked in at two hours now which is right on par with on screen time. Is this because i keep GPS on because i thought it was only used when needed. Also in the location settings under Gps there's another setting to use motion sensing indoors that will improve battery life should that be checked because i have that unchecked

Ugh now it won't let upload pics. Anyway i found the apps that use the sensor the most. Words with friends came out on top as well as the gallery. The gallery i understand because when you tilt your phone so does the UI but i don't use it for three hours. Also, since when does Wwf need the gyroscope ? I think I'm going to have to delete Wwf and see how that goes. What do you think about the gallery constantly using the sensor? Glitch?

Is it happening in all games or just some. If it's just some then it's just poor programming on the developers part

So far it happens in all the games I tried: Tempel run, asphalt6, all versions of angry birds, chees master, 3d pool,
On my sg s2 i never have this problem. Anybody else having the same problem?? And anybody know a setting that can solve it???
Now I tried several games with the "Smart Stay" turnes on, and it is not working 100%, it is very anoying that the screen turn off!!!!!!
Anybody have the same problem???
While I'm really enjoying my S3 so far. Smart Stay is almost a complete fail.. I've made sure it's activated, and is there anything I'm missing? I'm constantly having to reactivate my screen when I'm reading articles etc..
I'm confident this can be fixed either officially or unofficially, but something has to be done.
Anyone else having trouble?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Smart stay should work if the front cam is able to see your face.
You can check this by opening the camera and choose the front cam.
Now make sure your face is near the middle of the screen.
For me I've to move the bottom away from me and the top closer to me so the cam can see me. It takes a bit training to hold the phone like that but it works (for me).
I find totally ridiculous if you have to hold the phone in a certain angel for the screen not to turn off during games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am happy with my S III, but the problem with the screen turning off is fatal.......I hope somehow there will be a fix for this very soon.

If you read my post, you would have noticed, that the problem actually is that the screen is turning off during games without the smart stay turned on. When I turn on smart stay, the screen still turns off sometimes, as the smart stay is not working correct!! (smart stay not working for me in low light, and you need to hold the phone in a certain angel, witch is not possible when you play games and move the phone around)
Other people have this problem........???????????????

Hi everyone..
When i unlock my s3, it plays "be-beep!!" sound. Water effect sound plays too. But at the same time "be-beep!!"
If i silence the phone, no sound.. there is not any notif. or fault or error on the screen.. it plays only once when i unlock screen.
Whats that sound??
Ps: it was playing when my s3 unrooted and stock official rom. I rooted it and flash omega v13, its playing now too...

Lol in the relevant system/media folder and see if you have any additional files for unlock screen, another Rom might have dumped a new sound file and it needs removing?

I'm experiencing the same issue. It is intermittent, but generally if restart my phone it goes away for a while. I am unsure as to what triggers the sound to start again. The only way I can stop it is to turn off notification sounds altogether (or turn the volume down to mute), but this is not practical. I have tried to find the audio file to delete it, but no luck. Happy to record the sound if somebody tells me how!

Take your accessory case off and i bet the noise goes away...
it is NFC ... near field communication... the phone is picking up your case and thinks its another device, it can be turned off in settings
took me ages to figure it out too

Cheers! I'll give disabling NFC a go (since I never use it but do need a protective case on account of having a habit of dropping my previous phone). I'll let you know how I go!

no problem :good:
Ok I have an issue that seems intermittent but is annoying and drains the battery. Sometimes after receiving a text the screen will stay on and not dim down, this would not be such an issue if the text was read straight away, but if I have not heard it or been busy this becomes an issue. The only way to then get the screen to work properly, is to reboot the phone. Anyone else had this issue, if so have you found a fix. The handset is a 3uk branded handset.

What's your screen timeout set as?
Like, if you're reading a web page how long would the screen stay on if you didn't touch it?
Settings - display - screen timeout

Do you have Samsung's DriveLink app installed? There was a problem with that that caused the screen to stay on.
