Hi , so I bought S3 two days ago , noticed that the lights aren't working.
I have touch key light duration on settings set to always on, but they never worked
Anyone can suggest a fix ? Or should I return it ?
If it's on and not working take it back while its still covered mate.
If the touch keys don't work even after rebooting the device, go to the nearest service center
I will go tonight. Thanks

Really.......That's not good, get it sent off or try fitting a new one off ebay.
I had a very similar issue with my old HTC Hero, it turned out that the digitizer (touch screen) was broken. ( started more or less like yours but eventually the whole bottom part of the screen didn't work) I was wayyyy off my guarantee so I bought a cheap digitizer off eBay and did a home reparation, worked very well for me :-D
So yeah just send it in for repairs and you'll be just fine

Yes they are. They're packed in 7zip exe's, when you download the exe doubleclick it & this unzips the tar within.

Quick question do i have to do anything else to the phone before i send back to samsung
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Buy a jig on Mr eBay so you can reset the flash counter back to zero. That way Samsung won't know you've been messing with it Shouldn't cost more than a couple of bucks. Search for "Samsung Galaxy S2 jig". Some people have found that Samsung don't seem to care if you *have* been messing around with the phone & will fix it under warranty regardless.
Personally speaking, I'd rather not take that chance & would get the jig.

So just got my phone back from Samsung after they replaced the screen. The menu button is very dim and the search button is dim compared to the middle two buttons. I was going to call Samsung but wondered if it may be an easy fix that I could do on my own instead of waiting another week to get it fixed. Any guidance would be appreciated.

I was but went back to stock with same issue
Just called Samsung and they want me to send it back for repair. I don't know if its worth it, will b third time sending it to them...why can't they fix it right the firs time?!

Anyone have any ideas
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda app-developers app
Sorry. It looks like sending it back to them will be the only way to fix it that doesn't take cash out of your pocket. As for why they can't get it right? Most likely because it is a low paid repair tech just following a shop manual.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using xda premium
Yeah, I ended up sending it to them today. I got next day air shipping and the guy expedited the process for me for the hasal for no charge at all since its their fault. Hopefully, I get it back with no problems.
Screen turns off when placing phone to ear as expected however does not come back on when pulled away. Only after the 2nd party disconnects will the screen come back on after pressing power button and the only to the lock screen. This is a new issue. Anyone else having this problem or know of a solution?

Maybe faulty proximity sensor. I had that issue in my galaxy nexus. Ended up getting a new one

I'll inquire with Verizon about that.

Call insurance. Get a new one or refurb for that matter.

Are you stock? Rooted? I ran into this issue a few times with persus kernel.
I'm having the same issue. Anyone find a fix for this?
Just got off the phone with Verizon. They're sending a replacement. Something wrong with proximity sensor. Actually appears to be a speck behind glass over sensor.

I have also been having a bit of trouble with the same thing. On top of the screen not always coming on when I move the phone away from my ear during a phone call, sometimes when I pull up the keypad while on the phone and attempt to press a key, the screen will turn off. I think it's because the shadow of my hand makes it think it's back up to my ear. I see two little sensors next to the camera; one of them appears to have a little speck or dot on it. Maybe a piece of dirt in it? Can somebody who doesn't have this problem check and see if they see a very very tiny dot on the sensor closest to the in call speaker?
I've been having the same issue with my Note 2, I was wondering if this could be a software issue since I have messed with a few roms but decided to go back to stock. I've been looking everywhere for a solution, even went as far trying to find replacement files to see if that would fix it, but to no avail. I guess I'll have to replace the device.

Have you received your replacement?
If you have, did they send you a certified like-new or a brand new replacement?
Thank you

I have found a fix for this, at least for me, as I mentioned in an earlier post I had flashed a few ROMs, decided to search the other carriers galaxy note 2 forums and found this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2070360&highlight=proximity+sensor
Luckily there is a Perseus kernel for verizon too here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2048013
Will do this later and report.
Edit: the perseus kernel by itself didn't do the trick but beanstown's stock root/deodex and jelly 'beans' roms did! I now have everything working like new with cleanrom installed

You probably got one that was repaired in China. Hate getting phones from the Chinese, cheap but poor quality. Thanks

So I have not rooted.or tampered with my one yet. Noticed today that my home and back buttons don't light up.. I know they did yesterday when I got it. Did I accidentally turn them off somehow? Or should I go return? Any thoughts ladies and gents ?

Try covering the two little sensors on the top left of the phone and press the keys again to see if they light up. If they don't, then no bueno. If they do then success.
I had tried covering up the sensors and that didn't work..after 3 factory resets in bootloader they finally started working. All seems to be running fine now.

cool,. glad you got it working
Were they just not lighting up or bit working at all? I ask because there's another thread about the buttons not working at all from time to time so I'm curious if that will work for our issue as well? Don't want to factory reset if I don't have too
