Phone not waking from deep sleep? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else suffering this?
I'm on stock unrooted Rom and about 3 times a day my phone just won't wake using either power or home buttons.
Could this be caused by a buggy application or is my phone possibly developing a fault as it was fine for the first week or so?

I had the same problem. I think it's a software bug. Got my phone 7 days back. Remove the battery and plug it back in. It turns it back on. It's been fine since 4 days now

I have the exact same problem!
Does anyone know what this is? It looks like a software problem, but I can't seem to get rid of it by flashing a different rom/kernel...

i try to figure it out after root and flash custom kernel. the best solution, back to stock.

how many apps are installed? (Actually I mean how much phone memory has been used?)

This happens to me also once every 2 weeks, can't really know the exact situation to be able to replicate it.
symptoms occur mostly in the morning, when the device doesn't wake up to do the morning automated tasks, such as Titanium Backup, turn on wifi, and most important: alarm clock....
When I press the Home button the device will wakeup and start immediately doing all the tasks it should have done earlier...
I am on a custom ROM (mine, in my signature), with Perseus kernel.

Vlingo sometimes opens after single-click of home button

Hey guys.
I've noticed that occasionally Vlingo/Voice control pops up after a single-click of the home button. This happens a couple of times a day.
I was wondering if this could be a hardware or software error. My guess is that it has to be a software error because it happens so rarely and the button itself has quite the travel (I just don't feel it being pressed twice).
My question is has this problem happened to anyone else before? It's kind of driving me crazy.
I'm on stock rooted (with insecure kernel) BOKE3 (Android 2.3.3).
Thank you!
I think it's hardware related. I noticed it in CWM Recovery. Sometimes when i pushed Home once, phone acted like I was pushing it twice.
I have my GS2 for 2 months. It happened to me only twice.
Thanks for the reply. I don't have CWM recovery installed and the couple of times I've been in the stock one I haven't noticed anything. I guess time will tell if it's a hardware or software bug when ICS is finally (officially) released for SGS2.
Happen to me in cwm a couple times too...
Now i use POWER button...just to be sure i dont mess up the Sg2
can somebody fix this problem? it is annoying when I want my phone back to homescreen but the vlingo comes out...
I have the same problem, and it's definetly a hardware issue. My home button have gotten progressively worse, it have now reached a point where it now double clicks several times a day.

You know, I remembered that it all started when I had the "bright" idea to format the /cache from the stock recovery. I just formatted it to see if it will fix itself. Already the stock launcher's animations are back (I never realized they were gone), hopefully this fixed the problem, otherwise off it goes to Samsung for service.
This happens to me all the time and it drives me crazy... I hate that goddamned thing... `what would you like to do` how about shut the hell up.
I suppose if you root it can be uninstalled
i think i have the solution , will post a video on youtube in few hours.
I had same issue with LPB ICS, then i flashed again, wipe data, cache etc, even deleted battery log/stats, and now everything is perfect..
This is not HW issue afaik..
Same for me. It's especially annoying if you're sitting in a course and the media sound isn't muted.
For me it seems to be a hardware problem, too. Because after I had replaced my S2 it just happend once in 2 month. Before it happend several times a day.

I have the same problem too. I used CWM. I think this is software things.

How many times have you encountered it and have you disabled/use Rom without home button double click?

Factory reset did not do the trick, I still occationally get the damn Vlingo. Maybe I should try installing another factory firmware.
I'm really tempted to just send it in for service.

It won't help, I'm confident it's a hardware problem. The best you can do is to flash a rom without the double click feature.

Do you know if the stock ICS (leaked) roms come with Vlingo or a double-click feature in general?

It happens on every Rom I've used.

Can't we just make a warranty claim? Or are they just going to come back with "could not reproduce problem" since it only occurs 2-3 times a day?
Edit: I've contacted Samsung and they've told me to update to the latest firmware. Lol.

Yup they do, and I had the same problem on the latest ICS leak. It also double clicked in CM7, but it's harder to notice there as it dont have Vlingo.
I guess you can make a warranty claim. I dont know your countries rules regarding this, but in Norway they must fix stuff like this even though the warranty dont apply/is expired.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
The phone's warranty runs until the end of September 2013.
I just installed another original rom and it already popped up Vlingo once, I'm going to test it some more and report back.
Edit: Same problem, it's definitely hardware related.

Random Reboots AOKP

Hey guys. this isn't my first rodeo so no flaming.
I keep getting random reboots on my phone. It happens about every 15 minutes to an hour. I've flashed stock and did a full factory reset. I've tried new kernels... What are my other options? This is starting to get on my nerves
My suggestion is going back to bone stock with no adjustment.

Already did... I'll try again tonight.
Also, reboot seems to stop when plugged in?

Are you undervolting?
Any 3rd party accessories? (Batteries, etc.)
Could be a hardware issue

No hardware accessories and no undervolting. I made sure to stop the UV when the reboots started occurring. I'm by no means a dev, but i've been around a while and this just baffles me.

It could just be a bad battery. I'd suggest wiping and flashing back to stock. If the reboots continue, you can probably get AT&T to give you a replacement.
I'm getting the same problem as you. Before I started flashing (I'm still seeing the problem in AOKP, too), it was happening on the stock rom. I'm going to flash back to stock and see if that helps for me.
By the way, I think it's a hardware issue also. It seems like the reboots are more frequent when I'm holding the phone or when it is in my pocket, maybe the contacts in the battery are the problem? It happens if I just sit the phone on my desk also, so I know I'm not accidentally holding the power button
EDIT: 1
Okay, after flashing back to the stock rom, the problem persisted. I just picked my phone up and it turned of as soon as I lifted it. Have you noticed that lifting/touching is related also?

My problem was also hardware related... it seemed to stem from a wonky power button. I contacted ATT and in 15 hours, FedEx had my new phone at my door. Win.

Galaxy S III Not responding

Hi everyone,
i don't know if someone already encountered this but sometimes my GS3 does not respond when i try to wake him up. (it's not turned off just standby). The screen stays black en nothing works. One time the screen did woke up but i couldn't unlock it because the touchscreen didnt work. It could not be turned off and the buttons didn't do anything! The only way for me to get out of this was a battery pull!
I did not root or modify anything on this phone because i like the stock samsung TW for the first time .
Did anyone else have this problem? And how did u solve this? Thank u.
Possibly due to an app you have installed.

Thank u i didn't thought of that. Is their an easy way to find out wich app this could cause? I still find it very weird. If an app is not compatible than it just shouldnt install intead of breakin the phone right? XD
This happened me last night as well. Couldn't do anything other than turn the phone off, and when it came back on it was fine again.
Unrooted as well. Would like to find out how I can prevent this from happening again?
if you are not sure about the root cause of the problem better factory reset your mobile

Yes, if it happens again than i will try that. But i already sent the unit back from were i ordered it. They will send me a new one because its their policy to send a new one if something happens in 2 weeks.
So i will see if it still occurs with the new one otherwise its one of my apps. Than i will install only a few apps and see what causes it. If it doesnt occur one more thime than the unit was faulty. Ill keep u guys updated.

Did it happen once? My phone had it like 3 times so thats why i sent it back. But if it still occurs with my new phone than it must be one of the apps i got Luckily they got DOA policy. I asked if it includes ''the phone does not work as it should" and they said yes send it back u will get a new one yaay but now i have no phone
I had this. After a hard reset, multiple times, and configuring with no accounts (no samsaung account, no google, nothing), it still happened. I ended up returning the phone and I've not had a single problem since.
I think it was either faulty memory or a dodgy firmware flash (more likely). Either way, I didn't care to find out and now it's all good.

[Q] Galaxy S3 Auto power off

My S3 is fully working. Only the issue is power goes off automatically some time later if it is not used and left.
Does anyone help me to fix this issue?
Galaxy S3 Turns Off (Fully Off) Overnight or When Unused
Having exactly the same problem.
When my Galaxy S3 is left for a while (more than half an hour or so it seems) I find it is not in idle mode, but has fully turned itself off.
The question is, whether this is due to a crash, or intentional (which would be a terrible feature if you wanted to receive a call overnight.)
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing it? - The first S3 I had developed screen issues and exhibited similar problems, turning itself off. But it turned out that one was faulty - the screen was corrupted after a while and it would not turn back on.
So, is there a feature we can turn off which does this that we can turn off? Or is it simply a flaw, and if so is there a way to trace it with say, logs or something else?
Any help gratefully appreciated.
No problems here. Running rooted stock rom and stock kernel. Maybe you've downloaded some faulty app thats screwing your phone.

Hmm... Perhaps, but if an app can cause your phone to shut off entirely without user input?... surely that's an O/S security issue
Well, I've seen a few other people with the same issue, I suppose I could try a factory reset and try for a few days without any extra apps. (Arg! The pain of no apps!)
Widgets could be a culpret I suppose. Still, turning off entirely? Seems a bit odd.
Anyone have any more ideas?
Experienced same thing when i was still new to android. Phone just reboot itself and sometimes it lights up itself with out touching it. Then i read somewhere that it could be some app causing it so i did a fresh start. Wiped up everything and install a stock rom thru odin. From then i always read user reviews and its permissions when downloading apps and when i find the permissions fishy il pass on it.

Random reboot while on a call?

I've had this problem sometime after Kitkat. When on a phone call, the phone will reboot randomly. Not everytime I use the phone. I've been suggested that it might be my sd card but I've ruled it out. I'm currently running nc5 stock 4.4. I've had xposed framework uninstalled to try to narrow this irritating problem. I've tried to switch roms, install them clean, install everything fresh and clean with no change. I've also had my Note 3 replaced because I thought this particular problem was hardware failure. Obviously that is not the case. I searched for an answer without success. It's very possible that I've missed something in the forums. I'll own that. I'm reaching out for help. If anyone has any suggestions I would really appreciate it. Thank you for your time.

I see from your post your back to a clean stock NC5, so that rules the OS out. You replaced the device, that rules out the hardware. What about the battery, are you running the battery from the first phone? Or are you running and extended battery? A short in the battery maybe? How long where on the call? Did the phone get hot and kick the high temp on device? I noticed several posts of phones shutting down from heat, it is a hot summer. The only other thing I can think of is the cell tower dropped the call, and for some reason the phone rebooted. Can you think of anything else?
I didn't consider the battery(original battery) . I haven't had any power problems yet. But that is a possibility. My calls could go on for 20 mins before it would reboot, then sometimes 10 mins. It really varies. The phone's temp would be normal I believe but I'll keep an eye on it. I did think about the reception being very low at my home and that being the cause, but it also has happened at work where I have a full signal. A battery replacement is a good idea, thank you. I will look into it. Any other suggestions will be appreciated.

It could also be loose or dirty battery connections too, so check those too.
