As per the title I get a strange behavior with the screen randomly (every 30 mins) when in sleep mode.
It happens both with data and sync on and in flight mode.
I'm on the latest fw of my intl. S3, I had this issue since the beginning.
I'm rooted.
How can I detect what is causing it? Is there an app?

Maybe your network doesnt support fast dormancy.

It happens both via 3G and Wifi (where my ICS Tablet does not have the issue).
More importantly it happens in flight mode.
Thanks but I think it is an app or an OS part.
So, is this the cause ??
Happens with me too, but I am unrooted to try this method.

I have not tried, but I don't think it is a network related issue as it happens also when in Flight mode (everything switched off).

Partial wakelocks gives to me a huge numbers of apps/services. I do not see the option to have "the last one that caused the screen to go on".
Can you help me to narrow the search?

I had the exact same issue, and the same question a day or two ago.
I did what a previous user stated, I traced back my steps and uninstalled the latest apps I had installed and then installed one by one and found the one causing the problem. Unfortunately I cannot remember which app it was for me, but it can be any one of them.
Guess there must be a way to log all current system activity to a file and once it happens, check the log?

As the title says, my p500 is awake almost 100% of the time. Even with the screen off (please look at the attached image).
The only apps running at startup (used Startup Manager app to check it) are Go weather, Maps, Market, Minimalistic text and Quick System Info Pro. On my home screen (Go Launcher EX) I use Go Weather, minimalistic text and Winamp widget, nothing else.
Is there somewhere I can look at or maybe some app I can install to see what is causing it?
I'm using Mik's CM7 6.5.5 and franco.kernel v16.1 bfs (this one gives me almost 30% more battery life than the newer versions) and running at 729/245mhz Smartass.

PROBLEM SOLVED
I was planing on sending the phone to repair on monday, but at the time and with the phone here i didn't want to give up so i thought of rooting it and reinstalling the firmware, but nothing worked and the phone didn't recognize that it was connected to a computer. So i kept search other ways to reinstall the firmware and came across a website that talked about a "secret menu" code for the phones and i remembered that this phones must had one and that from there i could do something, i did. From there i did a factory reset and, unlike the ones i did before by going to settings-privacy, when the phone rebooted it told me right way that it was connected to the computer. I also tested the problem with the screen light and so far, so good.
So, if anyone else has this problem(sannielyk reportedly had) what i did was entering the "secret menu" code : 3845#*500# and did the factory reset from there.
Apparently it was a software problem or something that wasn't installed right by the lg service. But so far everything is good, and i hope it keeps that away.
Thanks for the help

Yes, I have tried it. It helps when you do not use 3G/HSDPA. As soon as u enable internet and browse the net and after that disable the internet, the Fast Dormancy process starts to drain the battery again and again. Disabling the Fast Dormancy does not always work.
I swhitched to 2G and then it stopped draining the battery, but it is not the solution, as I can't live without 3G/HSDPA... Don't know what to do
Over the past week since I got the S3 I've been Turing off all the stuff that eats the battery power.... syncs etc.
I noticed that when I leave wifi on overnight that theres alot a wakelocks still showing up in the graph. BBS shows connectivityService and activitymanager as top two wakelocks of about 15 mins each.
I can't find out what is causing these wakelocks.
When I turn wifi off, the drain goes down to about 1.2% per hour according to battery monitor widget.
Can anyone once and for all help me get rid of all these wakelocks so that the phone is in deep sleep when it's meant to be? I even turn wifi off during sleep policy.
Thanks.

Just needed the first page of your wakelocks. Kernel wakelock can be found from the drop down menu when you hit partial wakelocks. Also use cpu spy to check whether your phone is properly going into deep sleep.
Normal procedure for me when trying to fix a wakelock:
1. Identify wakelocks with the highest up time
2. google the wakelock names because someone else has probably come across the same problem.
You can rule out rom issues because you're running stock with cf root kernel
Also I noticed AudioOut_1- a fix for that wakelock is usually turning off button sounds(not volume!) and in some cases the haptic feedback as well
If you don't mind me asking, what's that frog icon in your status bar?

I take it I can use titanium pro to back up and then restore all my apps after wipe? How do I go about restoring on the data from selective apps?
I've been using autostarts since last night and I find it excellent.
One question regarding it....how come when I've stuff like Google+ and Game hub frozen in titanium, it keeps showing up in autostarts(and set to start up at certain event changes...even though its frozen)??
thanks for help so far.
No problem. I don't know why the frozen apps show up in the other lists. I usually just limit the apps in the 'after startup' list and leave the rest alone. I normally use titanium to remove them completely.
As for individual data restoration, you can click individual apps in titanium and restore their data. Also check out your Samsung battery stats and see if cell standby is eating up your battery(it's a problem for me but yours might be more serious)

Well I don't think cell standby is a problem for me. I did a little experiment this morning.
Battery was 100% charged, so I unplugged it, turned off wifi and mobile data and let it rest for 3 hours.
Came back and saw that zero drain had occurred and that the battery was still at 99%(which it goes to straight away when you take off charge as you know).
I also had zero wakelocks as the phone was in a true deep sleep.
So I'm still in the position of trying to locate the cause of my wakelocks when either wifi or mobile data is on!
Could these wakelocks be from the wifi/mobile data just searching for a signal? I've tried to weed out any possible apps causing wakelocks when the internet is on but still cannot find the problem.
Well if you you've narrowed it down to your wifi/data problem, try flashing a different modem(possibly one of the newer ones)

Another thing to consider is whether you've got power saving on or off? If it's on and CPU power saving is turned on, the CPU runs at 800mhz rather than 1400mhz. This will show a noticeable difference in smoothness.

i just wanna share how i got rid of the lag and home respawn issue on my sgs3... i'm not saying it is a fix but these are the only things i did that work for me... there is no harm in trying...
1. disable double tap home button to activate s voice.
2. disable s voice using application manager
3. reboot... and after 3 days, no lag or whatsoever... but there was always the home respawn thing when i'm running a lot of apps on background...
4. uninstall facebook app... this app seems to eat most of the memory... reboot... now, i don't need to close any program running thru task manager... i check it and see 12 apps running but never had a respawn.. all is well now... i don't even think of rooting flashing a rom now... everything just seems to be running so well...
**i know some of you would say that it's not an option to uninstall FB app, i for myself would love to use it but i'd rather have a lag and respawn free sgs3 and use the FB desktop mode... but then again...that's just me...

Try re-flashing rom or kernel or trying new rom or kernel. If you get same issue on others then its likely a hardware issue.
I wanted an app that would log what was happening in the background before the crash to see if it was software related
. It happens on all ROMS so I am guessing I'm stuck with a hardware issue

There might be a problem with your hardware which causes freezing but I don't think so..
Check if you have any misbehaving app installed or you can reflash your firmware and do factory reset and then use your phone like normal.. Check for any freezing but restore no app. If you don't encounter any freezing then there must be a nasty app, doing nasty stuff with your phone.
