Dude I think its the viber app. Are you using this app? Try to close it and you will that the sensor will off. I uninstall it for the mean time and wait for another update

Yes, the problem is viber app. I dont know viber or rom, but when i kill vib
r, sensor stop light.
Problem with viber is for every android device. Here is the previous version

I had this too.. Thought it might be smart stay but I removed viber (even though I hadn't even signed in to it ) and Red Light is now gone! Suspect that may possibly have contributed to the slightly enhanced battery drain I was getting in the latest official stock JB ROM (XXDLIB)..

Two post up i post link. This is previous version of viber
Here is the link http://db.tt/SkSNRu3C

I too had the sensor on all night last night. It was after installing siyah kernel it seemed to happen. This morning was going to flash stock kernel back to see if it fixed it. But before that I just did a reboot and when it came back on it was not showing anymore.
I do have Viber and it's always on as we use it for picture messages, it's still on now and the sensor is not showing.

Edit: it did come back and it was down to Viber, I have installed previous version and it's perfect. Thanks for the link

same problem fixed
I got the same problem after installing JB for my S3... but i did what you guys said... uninstalling viber the problem gone, so i better now knowing my JB Room its not the problem...

Viber just released v2.2.3 which they claim resolves the issue.

With regards to point 4, poke a usb jig in, and viola! The rest are working fine for me.
For me battery works like heaven....

Maybe flash the latest nightly? At least for me the nightlies are working way better than RC version. And battery life: great!

[Q] proximity sensor doesn't turn off,please help me!!!

guys please help me, i have a serious problem.
i had a LIB(criskelo14) based rom with domination v1.3.4 and everything was super smooth. yesterday installed a LJ4 based rom(criskelo 18) and then domination v1.4 . after installing this amazing theme my proximity sensor is always on and i have too much battery drain.
i wiped my device and with a fresh install every thing returned to normal.but after restoring my apps problem is back. i have deleted many apps that may caused this prob but nothing is fixed.
i attached a list of my apps.about 340 apps.
please guide me what should i do?i don't want to loose my apps.
please take a look at list of my installed apps
I think its viber.
Uninstall it and look at your sensor.
If so the last update for viber fix the problem with the proximity sensor.
You need v2.2.3.109 instead v2.2.3.108.

[Q] is my s3 normal?

I recently bought an international GT-I9300 Galaxy s3. I am facing few problems. I get a 3-4 seconds lag when I open dialer contacts and messaging app but once i have opened them it seems like they stay in memory for some time and open instantly but after some time i get this horrible lag again. Is my phone normal? I searched the forums and some people are facing this while others not. Secondly whenever I charge my s3 through the AC adaptor, galaxy s3 shows as charging (USB). Then i unplug and plug again after few tries it shows charging (AC). Is my phone faulty or is this a software bugs? Any fixes to these problems? I am on everything stock and unrooted JB 4.1.1 I9300XXDLID. Thanks
Hello, first of all, did you buy it brand new? First, I trying turning of s voice as it is know to cause lags. Then I can developer options change the windows a d transition animation scale to 0.5. See if it gets better, it could just be that there are some bugs! I
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yes brand new with official damsung warranty. I have changes the animations and transition to 0.5 and disabled s voice.. Still the lag is present. Any solution? Should I send it to Samsung?
Are there any other lags beside the dialer and the messaging app?

None. The lag is present only on dialer contacts and sometimes messaging.
Ok, I think that it's just a big with the jelly bean... It should be fixed soon!

Charging problem fixed. Both the Samsung usb cables were crap.. Tried a new one and works well. Samsung should fix the dialer/contacts lag now or i will never buy a Samsung phone Again! Anyone knows how to submit this bug to Samsung?

Sorry for being a noob but this is my first Android phone and I have heard rooting/flashing voids warranty so I don't wanna risk it. I prefer doing it the simple way. Samsung should fix this bug soon.
there are ways to reset the flash counter..search the forum for triangle away. I flashed my S3 with many different custom ROMs. My phone earphone jack had some problem. I used triangle away, flash to stock ROM and bring it to Samsung for warranty. No problem with that..or maybe they didn't check thoroughly..:highfive:

All problems fixed. There was a problem with ota update. I resolved it by reinstalling the firmware through KIES firmware upgrade and initialization option. No lags in dialer contacts so far and blue Samsung logo on boot has come back. Thanks everyone. This thread can be closed.
Update: dialer and contacts lag still present

Must be the touch driver crashing....
*clean your screen, fluids tend to crash touch driver and like you mentioned locking, wiping the screen and unlocking will get it working.
If that doesn't work
*maybe it's because of some app you use crashing/colliding check and see you may might have to try un installing the apps which you installed or updated when the problem started to occur.
*if above two failed try performing a factory reset might help .
*finally flashing a new stock firmware will correct the problem if all above methods failed.

Well.....I think you have just found the answer to your question
Remove it and see if it's all good. If not, returning time it is, don't even bother go flashing firmwares. It's a brand new phone.
Good morning. Guys i was thinking that my screen protection isn't a problem because if i lock the screen and i open it again all works. And sometimes when i'm typeing a text message or i'm on browser it seems to type by itself and i'm looking scared .
p.s : i flashed a new stock rom(4.0.3) , i wiped it and i did all i could. the problem is still there.

Vanilla Rootbox V3.9.1 Camera Flash Bug

Hello XDA. This ROM (rootbox 3.9.1) is supposed to be stable, but when I turn on flash or automatic flash and I touch to focus then shoot, the camera app lags and force closes (and doesn't take the picture). This is annoying in so many ways, and makes it virtually impossible for me to take pictures in low light. Please help me address this issue for it is killing me and I don't feel like downloading a whole new ROM, flashing it and reorganizing all my settings all over again just to fix this issue. I also had this issue with CM10.1 (but that was normal, cause it is a nightly).
Anybody else have this issue? And possibly a fix?
Thanks in advance.
Also: inb4 "search the official root box thread". I did, and nobody seems to have this issue.

As far as I know this issue was fixed a couple of days ago in the CM Nightlies so maybe the Vanilla Rootbox base hasn't been updated yet or you aren't using their latest update.

Didn't work. what version of this aosp camera are you using? And with what ROM? I got the latest version. And it still crashes.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Actually I've found a way to bypass this problem. If I turn on the volume key to take pictures function, autofocus with flash on and take the picture with the volume key, it doesn't crash. I guess I'll just have to live with it like this for now, oh well.
OK now how do I close this thread? Or there's no such thing? Can any mod or janitor or whatever help me out here? I'm new here
