Means you are probably missing your keystr file. The fix has been discussed dozens of times already. Please search for this. FYI, you will need root to implement the fix.

You didn't search the right thing. I said your keystr file is missing. You didn't mention a keystr file anywhere there.
Google this: "site:forum.xda-developers.com i9100 ics keystr"

4 Buttons problem on Folio 100

Hey everybody
I just expose my problem
1-the Folio 100 i bought is a new brand (received yesterday)
2-I turn on my Folio 100, just in beginning they is no light on the 4 buttons,
i wait android to boot and in the homescreen i try to use the 4 buttons, nothing happens, no light
3- i decide to install the Foliomod without wipe (because the home button like the 3 another button don't have any light, i try to press the buttons many time, still nothing)
4- I install foliomod successfully without wipe everything work better but still the problem of the 4 buttons (no light and don't work)
5- I install different recovery.img but impossible to use it, it's simple, when i press the power button, don't have any light on the 4 buttons, look like the 4 buttons are desactivate on boot mode or anything else
I was wondering if anyone have the same problem ?...
I battle with that, i try to do a reset mode with the button near the battery, get off the battery (power button hold like do a clear CMOS) still nothing
I'm tired to send the Folio back
I really want to fix it, they is no way to fix this problem ?
Thanks !
one thing i find pretty annoying is the fact that to press the buttons you have to make contact with your whole finger.
I dont mean to make presure, I mean to make contact with a large portion of skin than just taping the button.
I got my folio one week ago and I am still getting used to it.
Maybe you already tried to tap the buttons in several ways but... this is the only thing I can think of right now.
By the way... the default behavior es to have the lights off and to turn them on for a second when you tap the buttons.
I hope this helps...
Thanks but if you check what i said, i can't use the buttons.
Usually the home button you can use it on recovery mode but i can't do anything, it's like the 4 buttons don't exist, like desactived.

If the home button don't work on recovery mode, i don't think folio widget can help, foliomod 1.4/1.3 has already a folio widget and changing the value of the sensitivity didn't change anything
I think the problem is more on the boot of the folio, didn't activate the 4 buttons

When we press the power button have a small boot sequence, it's probably this boot sequence make many problem.
I try to erase the boot and change it on fastboot mode but it always fail.

bootloader is closed source.. probably needs re-designed, and we havent seen any updates of it, since their update.zip probably cannot write a new one..
i think they forgot to add support for updating it..
just like the full wipe with power button, probably also a mistake..
That what i was thinking
Mistake to Mistake
This reminds me the TG01 (phone by toshiba, really suck)
Hi, I bought a crashed folio just to see inside it's guts and found that those bastard buttons are a board on its own.
I'm going to reverse engineer those signal and replace them with push buttons.

i think Google figured this out for us since they invented touch buttons somehow..
Unbelievable!
The chip on the capsense board is a PIC16F722 from MicroChip!!!
PIC16F722 <--- difficult to program and too much problem on it, they use this on clone phone in China.
I sent back my Folio, i don't know if i get a new one or wait for the XOOM or iPad 2 (but don't make any sens without USB/Thunderbolt, SD card etc)

[MiniCM7Pro v21] Problem with symbols on default text imput

Hi
Another problem... again... android... always some problem with it.
When i press "sym-au" key on phisical keyboard and scroll all the way down it freezes and stays there. It is possible to disable it, but it wont move, or clicking in any symbol has no effect completely unresponsive.
On virtual keyboard the same... blocking and unblocking device helps also restart. But its frustrating to remember about it. Is it any solution ? On stock rom there was no such problem.

Scroll the last part slowly (scroll it with your finger, don't fling it), it will stay responsive, if it does freeze, doing a rotation from landscape to portrait will make it respond again.

Thanks for tip. It helps.
So its known problem... this version of rom will be updated? Is there any way chance this will be fixed ?

NO, that ROM won't get any updates anymore, and the issue is present on just about all roms, apart from the original stock firmware. If it was easy to fix someone would have done that already, i guess, so i won't hold my breath.
Just think of it whenever you need something that's near the bottom, it's not that hard to live with.

Strange bug : impossible to wake the phone when it's locked

Hi!
I'm using a recent CM9 nightly with default kernel.
I would like to have your opinion : about 3/4 a week my SGS3 is "stuck" when it's locked : impossible to wake up using home or power button, the screen stays black.
The weird thing is that when it happens, the phone is not frozen : I can still hear music on the headphones and control volume using Up/Down buttons.
Sometimes I let it stuck and receive a notification some minutes later and the phone magically can be unlocked again, screen wakes when I push Home button.
Very weird and annoying when that happens.
My question is : what do you think it could be? An app? How can I debug this and know what prevents the screen to wake up when that happens?
Thanks.

Thanks, but is that the kind of easy answer you all tell when you don't know the exact answer?
When I installed CM9 a week ago, I did do a full wipe...
I think that next time it happens, I will try to connect my SGS3 on USB and do a adb logcat, maybe I'll find useful information.
Have you tinkered with any of the could settings or voltage settings?

Having a similar problem to yourself. Installed CM9 rom had a play and then went back to omegaV9 performing a full wipe using the instructions on this site before reflashing.
Since then when my phone is locked screen off then i unlock either via swipe or using security code (digits ) it looks like the phone unlocks but sort of does a warm boot with black screen for a few seconds with the two buttons down the bottom light up.
When it starts it looks like all the apps have stopped and are restarting again.
I re flashed again omega 9 thought i had it sorted but it started playing up again this evening.
If anyone has any ideas please post..
Hi, I'm a newbie here. I also exprience this problem with my samsung GT-i9300. I hoping to see a fix with this problem.
This forum has been so helpful to new android users. Thank you guys.

Phone application behaves strange....

Hi guys,
i been having this very annoying problem with my GS3 LTE (9305) but when i compare to other GSIII's it seems only mine behave like this but i cant find any reason or any option for the cause.
Basically the problem is that when i call someone and the phone screen goes to off sometime i want to wake up the screen and press the button below the screen and what my phone does is to minimize the call application but on my friends phone the call application stays and only the screen is turned on.
Can you guys please help me finding the root cause to why my call application minimizes itself when the screen is off?
I been searching for every option there is and cant find anything useful, also i have never installed any other dialer application or anything like that.
Please help me this is getting me nuts.

I tested on a GSII LTE + GSIII + Note2 and all are running JB and works fine on their phone.
If it is a bug i hope Samsung fixes it soon, its been a while i got an update and this thing is so annoying.

I meant Galaxy S3 Jelly Bean roms... Jkays framework fixes this issue.
If i recall correctly it has something to do with a setting in s-voice I think. Also it happens with any application when the screen turns off.

Yes, this issue isn't unique to the dialler. If you let the screen timeout with any application then press the home key, it returns to the home screen.
The workaround is to make sure than in the S-Voice settings, you have "Open via the home key" option set. After this, a single home key press will wake the device without returning to the home screen.
Ask this question in the appropriate section

Sadly that didnt work either. I had actually S Voice disabled but enabled and did what you said but it still minimizes the call application
EDIT: very strange , tested calling 4-5 times and suddenly after my friend called me it started working. I called my other cell before and it works fine now. THANK ALLOT MAN.
EDIT2: funny i tried to disable S-Vice again and to my surprise it stil works.
