Have you had this issue from day 1?
My lock screen sometimes doesn't recognize my touch when I try to enter my unlock pattern.
I have to release and try again, I was thinking it was just me but could be an issue?
Aside from the lock screen everything else works ok.
Is it only certain parts of the screen or the whole thing? maybe take the phone back to the shop where you got it and get an exchange?
hmm yh the whole screen doesnt respond although it hasnt happened today tho but its wierd seems like a softwaee issue might try and flash a different rom and see how it is

From my experience, it's not the touchscreen but something hogs your phone CPU cycles for a brief moment. Have you tried going to stock and not installing any apps?
I similar issue on GS2 where whole phone freezes (although plays music in the background) and I thought it was touch for a very long time until I realized it was some ****ty app I installed (some tamagochi app I think)
I had this aswell found out it was when I loggers back onto my phone and it checked what as I had running .
I'm a big multi tasKer
try holding your center key and close any UN used apps
yh i agree, will try that next time plus monitoring apps in better battery stats

Hmmm i havent noticed anything like that... are you on stock? I was thinking it may b a software setup issue, As there are many things that can happen when you start modding your phone. But I have quite a few mods and I have not had this issue, I have Skype always on Tango, Viber, Whats App,Facebook, Ms Exchange Services, I have 6 Widgets in total spread out in 4 homescreen. 4 of those widgets Auto update. So I have quite abit going on in this little thing
does seem like a software issue happened again but 5 mins later was showing touches on screen wierd

Not had any issue with my screen and I am running quite a lot on my phone so if it happens with stock I would start to remove apps one by one or do a wipe and add them back one by one. Could be a hardware issue though.

ive had my s3 for 3 weeks now, its been rooted but still running stock rom. today i experienced a reboot when i received a text message and this is the third time, each time prior to the device rebooting it vibrates for a long time i.e maybe 5 seconds instead of 2 secs, has anyone had anything similar happen to them? or is my device faulty?
Never rebooted .
I would return to stock see what happens .
jje
Nope. Nothing like that has ever happened to mine.
Never rebooted using system Apps but plenty times with others, and that's the developer's fault not Samsung's.
I wonder if a third party app may be causing it? It only reboots randomly on a incoming message. I usually know it's going to reboot due to the long vibration.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk
Yeah have you installed any other Apps that can send or monitor received SMS?
Mine rebooted a couple of times in the first few days of use. (unrooted stock ROM)
Never had any since though.
My friend got an S3 2 days ago and he told me he's been experiencing random reboots !!! His phone is on stock rom and ain't rooted yet !!!

Only whatsapp, but I doubt that is causing it. I've cleared data in applications for the messaging app, so going to see if that helps, thanks for the replies, at least IM not the only one having issues, I read on another thread someone having similar issues when using the phone and a SMS arrived, his phone would freeze.
People that are not experience reboots are you using custom roms, and if so which do you recommend? If I have to send it back to Samsung, will flashing stock ROM and using triangle away prior to flashing ROM be enough to get warranty back again?

That means there's an App flashing something to Root and rebooting your phone, it happened to me with a cracked version of Rom toolbox pro so I uninstalled, and I'm not sure but that might add to your flash counter every time so you want to find out what's causing it.
Nope, mines been fine, even undervolted.
Ok I finally figured it out, it was nova launcher causing the freezes, using touchwiz no freezes when sms arrive.

I have had the long vibration then a reboot a few times, had my phone a few weeks too, rooted and running different roms, only been happening the last few days.
I have a flash count of 9, so nothing too heavy.
Unrooted and went back to stock and then rerooted and installed villainrom.
Just had my first reboot about 5 mins in.
Anyone know what causes this any way to fix it for good

I thought it was related to root but I've had these hot reboots even before rooting so it's not just root. Most likely an app.

Will take a while to hunt down the app but anybody else have 'LinkedIn' app installed? It just hot rebooted while launching that app from a fresh restart - quickest hot reboot I've ever seen.
It might not be that app but then I went to the Play Store page and there are tons of 1 star reviews because the last update failed on people's phones - more interestingly the most recent comment is from a GS2 user who says latest update reboots his phone.
I've uninstalled it and I doubt I can be that lucky that it's that app and I find it so quickly but crossing my fingers.
Mine rebooted after I opened the Navigation app.
Mine is random, many different apps

Mine happened again. I've now uninstalled BetterBatteryStats. I'm going to start uninstalling stuff that uses root to roll that out. I've had these issues on stock but it happened rarely, lately it's been happening very frequently so something is going on.

Well I'm tired of the random hot reboots! Some people say it happened to them before rooting, but I don't believe it happened to me until I rooted and installed CWM touch......so I'm going back to stock to start all over again so I can try to narrow down the issue. I'll report back on my progress as it becomes available.

Happening often to me. The search continues. I've now uninstalled adfree. I'm positive this is an app since I had it occur on stock after two weeks of using the phone and installing crap.

I had the same problem on my previous Captivate and am having it now on the GS III; no rhyme or reason to the reboots that I can see.
I still have heat problem but I played w/ different settings to see what it is.... I had att s3 which got really really hot... So returned it for Verizon s3. Verizon is better but learned that the data (lte/s3) makes it really hot and battery drain. Also the screen, of course.
If you're rooted then go get Phone info and disable lte. I tried CDMA auto for Verizon and it got much better... But at lowered download speed. I change it when I speed the speed... Doesn't require reboot so it's easy to change.
U can also under clock using setCPU.
I don't need it to be fast normally except when playing games... So just have it at 384min and 1024max... I find this helps allot w/ heat as well... U can try and find your setting that's acceptable speed and heat.
Just sharing my experience here.... So good luck.

Happens here too with the T-Mobile GS3. I think they rushed their fabrication process to deliver a high volume and fubared a few hardwarewise. I've even had it lockup/freeze once when not even in the OS but just in the recovery menu's. But yeah, the usual is a totally random unpredictable hot reboot throwing out my resident programs, homescreen, ect. Starts with the screen being frozen and not accepting input, then a short vibration, then back to homescreen reloading and all regular apps and widges that are supposed to run at boot load again. It's as if there's a micro static short or something. Anyway, I'm sick of problem solving and looking through logcats. Going back in for warranty. This is a dream phone except for this ultra annoying bug that it seems not many people have.

Happened to me once or twice (that I noticed) in the two weeks before I rooted (stock UCALEM), and a few more times after. It's just TouchPiz being pizzy. Maybe someone can catch the logcat, but there's nothing we can do about it (except install a better ROM )
How would anyone be able to diagnose this BS
"OK. My phone is hot. And it randomly reboots".
"Crap - u r out of luck buddy. Go change ur damn phone".
Provide ur phone model, ROM version, apps installed. Check ur battery stats.
As a solution - flash any custom ROM which removes bloatware.
Right from the start this phone does everything perfectly except calling. I'm currently using the stock s3 firmware which came inbuilt.
The problem is that whenever i go to the person's contacts and then press call or when i slide the person name to right on call log it just doesn't work many a times. I don't know what's the problem but I'm so frustrated that many a times i felt like i should throw this phone right there in the ground and call samsung and abuse them.
Also when there is an incoming call it takes 3-4 seconds to display that call on screen while the ringtone rings from the very moment there a call.
I am new to android and been using s3 from just 3 months. Idk if this is a problem in android or in the nature ux crap or in the phone.
Also opening contacts takes a lifelong 3-4 seconds. I'm like Cmon this is a beast fone why it has to be so choppy and slow wtf is wrong. >.<
Just help me if theres anything wrong, or tell me what to do!
I am redy to root my fone and flash a custom rom not giving a f abt warranty or brick if needed but i cant live with such bugs! Do u all face such problems? Please help!

Was it like this on day one?
Are you prepared to just do a factory reset and then make a call/receive a call and see how it goes?
Of it is that bad, you should take it to Samsung service centre and make them explain.

I would still say reset.
Even the service centre may recommend just reset to make sure it is not what you installed that cause issue.
Reset and let it be absolute stock for a day or two before you start download apps and such.
yesterday i ticked off the limit cpu in power saving option and now its working perfect!
also the phone feels way too smoother and faster now the call loads in less than a second
i think even with power saving s3 has enough power to not hamper calling and stuff
anyways jellybean update is coming soon so i guess ill just wait for it! If i face any further problems, ill reset
Sometimes the home button won't respond when I hit it, while other times the back button doesn't work. They never both quit working, only one or the other. Once I turn the screen off then back on it fixes the issue or get to the home screen, the button will suddenly begin working.
Anyone know why?
Are you using a custom kernel?
I've had this happen to me as well. I thought it was a problem with the screen protector that I had recently installed, but not true.
The same thing for me as well, turning the screen off and then on makes the capacitive buttons work again. I have had it where sometimes both are not working, but usually it is just the home button more often.
And for myself, no, I am still on the stock ROM
Yeah I'm on stock as well. Was going to unlock it but if I need to return the device to att I want to figure out what is wrong first.
The sprint version got an update to fix this exact issue....here's hoping att does the same or this thing goes back before I break it!!! :banghead:

Same problem with me. Day 1 I got the phone, Day 2 exchanged it. Now day 12 and have continuously been having problems, even since the swap. AT&T store guy told me they don't know when they are getting the update. Don't know if I should hold out or swap to SGS4 :crying:

I can't speak for everyone, But Scotts CleanRom 2.5 fix's a lot of stuff AT&T screwed up
and it definitely make's the touch more responsive. The Home and Back buttons are working much better with Cleanrom
in 2.5 he updated to the newest leaked AT&T version 502.12, I be leave the fix was a part of that.
Hi all! Now I have this problem. I need to hardly press touchscreen in order to type here and anywhere else. I tried many keyboards and it didn't solve. I was using CM9 and after some days, tge problem started. I removed screen guard also but it didn't helped. I flash also GB and ICS firmware but the problem didn't solved. Why? Scrolling through touch was fine but start up pressing was hard to tiuch and that problem really kill me on using keyboard and playing games. Any idea?
