Strange One - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Bit of a strange one but anytime after i make a call and go to hang up it instead of ending the call on the dialpad it my screen is showing (as per below)
How is this happening and what can i do to prevent this from happening, i have to press the back buttong to go back into the dialpad
Cheers

No one have any idea why the phone goes like this after i make a call?

Like what? The notification bar down.?

yes why is it doing this every time i make a call it never used to do this, all very strange

Was it doing that before you installed the antivirus?

No ive always had Lookout on my phone, it appears to be only doing this since ive flashed LFB which is very good for battery life but i cant be dealing with this happening every time i make a call.

Reboot phone, re flash lfb and wipe some cache

[Q] Missed call stuck on "1"

Cannot get rid of the missed call which is on the Phone icon.
After reboot, still there.
Does someone else have this issue ?
Yes my friend's is stuck on one missed call since the first day he got it and my Samsung app shows an update even though there isnt one. We tried everything short of wiping the phone.
Next firmware
I guess we will have to wait for the next firmware update.
Try calling and missing a call and see what happens.

Nothing adds up to that '1'
I can see the missed call in notifications.

Same...
I have the same problem, the 1 missed call is stuck there, I think from the update..... i've learned to live with it
Was solved for me after wiping the phone.

I had 4 missed calls and after acknowledging it, the icon was still there it wasn't until I called that person that the icon went away. I say call for a split second and hang up. Maybe thats the trick!
It happened after the update so factor rest AND full wipe helpen to solve it.

A friend of mine got the same problem. It's stuck on "1". Any solution to this problem without factory resetting the phone?
I had this problem only when I used Touchwiz. Installed Apex Launcher, and the problem was gone

Not even close, that's just ignoring the problem with a pretty theme.

[Q] Help - Detect App(s) randomly turning the screen on

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?
Tx for your help.
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).
Make sense?

I tried in the past with no luck.
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?
Help me!!
Am I the only with this issue???
It happened to me tonight, but I have never noticed it until now.
If u got the official Facebook app installed, then uninstall it and see what happens.
Otherwise uninstall your apps 1 by 1, untill u find the rouge app.this caused by an app

I'll give it a try.
To do it all my 100++apps would be crazy time consuming, I'll live with the bug!

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?

The problem with the "bug" in this case is that it drains battery power unnecessarily

The screen flash twice or 3 times every 30 mins, for a couple of seconds.
It is a drain, but I don't think a huge one.

Vibration problems[Q]

So basically i found out that I can make custom vibrations in the settings and thats a really cool feature! What my problem is however is that when I set a vibration pattern that I like sadly the default vibration keeps on happening when I get text messages. Is there any way to fix this?

Hum tried a reboot I assume? Does it change to your custom for phone calls?

Might just be that way unless it changes to one of the other pre set options. Odd

Mysterious sound when unlock screen

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
Addy
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!

Why homescreen is rewritten to often?

Hi
Why is my homescreen updating or rewritten so often? Have realy gone through my widget settings but it still looks like a memory problem to me.
Please what can i do about it?
Skickat från min GT-I9300 via Tapatalk 2
Search for something called 'Pimp my rom' on XDA. Flash that and in aroma select keep launcher in memory.
Otherwise stop clearing ram.

Sorry to say that i have not yet rooted or modified my device. So i guess i have to live with it and hope that JB is removing this ****ty behavior.
Can you (or someone else) tell me why this is happening... is it low memory or what? It happens just out of the blue, it does not do this every time with one condition some time it does and some time it does not. Almost kind of a random behavior.

Do you often clear the ram from the task manager? This causes the launcher to be cleared as well and it'll have to redraw every time you press home. Just restart the phone and don't clear memory so much from the default Task manager. It should solve your problem.
