[Q] proximity sensor doesn't turn off,please help me!!! - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Unfortunitly, the process com.android.phone has stopped

Hi, many times I have encountered this issue while in incoming call the phone is ringing, and the phone unexpectedly stopping. I even can't see the miss call or who was calling.
Attached a screen shot.
I cant see any screen shot, are you running a custom ROM?
i would boot into recovery and fix permissions a lot of the time this will fix things like this, if this doesn't work do a factory reset / full wipe and start all over again.

If all else fails full wipe reflash Rom
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I had this with Dragon JB rom.
I had to reflash and NOT use the ICS dialer and use the stock selection in Aroma Installer.
Did u install ice blue theme? Make sure you install latest ics blue theme as I remember this was issue( for JB roms greater than LI2) with version 3 and 4. In 4.1 its corrected.

Find the offending app and clear data. Most likely the phone app. Might help. If not a full wipe is recommended.

I had the same issue. Ended up discovering it was an issue caused by Facebook contact sync. I removed this sync and the problem was resolved. I now use HaxSync to sync contact photos from Facebook.

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
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
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
http://db.tt/SkSNRu3C
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.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
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.

[Q] Dialer messed up

Hi all
Anyone experienced the occasional dialer screen messed up after a call?
See attached screencapture.

Wow...never seen THAT before.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Dafuq happened there. Sorry man, never seen that
Woah bro. I have no idea what's up with your dialer. Are you on stock firmware and kernel? No root? No mods?
It only happened 2 or three times and I cannot reproduce at will.
First time was on stock rom without root.
Last time (screencapture 18/12/2012), was on sotmax_Ultimate_stock_V10_XXELKC_Aroma, but it was not a clean flash. I kept apps and data when I converted to sotmax rom. So it must be something carried over.
But happening very seldom, so not a big issue where I would want to risk a clean factory wipe.
Just hoped someone seen it as well.
Happened to me aswell today but exiting and reentering the Dialer sorted it out.
I'm on a clean install of crDroid 8.2!
so I am not alone :laugh:
same, here, exit and reopen fixed it immediately.
This has happened to me on various Sammy based ROMs all JB but different versions.
I really wouldn't worry about it to much, killing the app and opening works again.
Must be something with the dialer. The only thing I will say is that I did have all the motion stuff turned on.

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

VACS Modified/ Working: Audio, Camera and Memory issue fixed

Seeing the demand for the VACS ROM (Fixed), I have uploaded the Modified: memory swapped & camera + Audio fixed version of VACS till OP presents to you V2, so credits to Ramyaj Tugahan, the origional porter of this ROM, other Devs of our CHD and XDA for resources.
Just Standard procedure as usual ,
1) Wipe Data and cache >> wipe dalvik cache >> format system >> install this ZIP https://www.mediafire.com/?e1pb8d7d7y73n39
2) After booting up > go to recovery and just flash the S4 launcher by Anmol7ify , this thread :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2322753 , as i messed up the launcher a bit.
or use any third party launcher of your choice.
Enjy VACS now.. cheers.. \m/
Note : I will not be responsible for anything as i am not a developer but a learner, so flash at your own risk.
Thanks man! (I pressed the button as well )
But, Proximity sensor not working in this ROM. Any fixes?

Dude proximity is still an issue with this Rom.
Proximity sensor is working just not as default. You can use the smart screen app from playstore. Will post here if I found a fix for default working of proximity sensor.

Dude didnt have that issue, is it happening from the starting or you recently installed any mod or something. it can also be a wifi router issue. try modifying the network properties of the network you connecting to using a static IP.

Itss just happening from last few days.. Nd one monre thing whenever wifi its getting oppend then other phones are nt getting connected to other sites only whatsapp is working..
WiFi issue
Try rectifying at your end dude, as I said above there can be two reasons for this:
1. Any recent mod or update by you.
2. Some network settings messing up.
Always make a nandroid backup before you install something new.
Last resort is to flash the Rom again as it was working fine before as you said.
