[Q] Opening Contact Issue - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear Sirs,
Sorry if my issue is an old issue, it's not an big issue actually but i really annoyed because of it.
My issue is very simple, it took a very long time to open a contact application. I mean, for this top notch hand held, why doin some simple things like opening my contact is took a very long time.. just ridiculous... even after update to JB.. no different.
any suggestion?

Hero sms issue, 1.5/2.0/2.1? am i alone on this?

Im thinking about getting rid of my hero due to the sms/keyboard lag, on every rom i try especially when writing a password with stars, it jumps 2-3 letters forward, surely i cant be the only one!
If anyone knows a fix it would really help as im thinking of getting a nexus
Yea I get this too, so annoying when it lags and ends up thinking you were doing a long press! -.-
The only way I've got around it is by downloading Taskiller and deleting all tasks every so often...

you would think it would of been picked by the devs at htc by now, strange thing is better keyboard does the same so it must be something regrading the system,

Hardware design fault in all galaxy aces

I started a thread about the digitizer problem in Janauary about things suddenly scrolls rapidly, especially when browsing webpages.
Then on the Jan 15th, I took it to warranty, but without being able to demonstrate the problem clearly, all they done was reflashing the firmware.
I've already tried to fix the bug in the driver, but it is damn hard to filter the "noisy" touches without side effects. (like ignoring movements that are too quick, then i can't type in swype quickly)
I should have known *#0*# earlier, as I'm now able to reproduce the problem right in front of them.
On March 15, I took it to them again. Today, got my phone back with replaced touch screen. Then, tested it in front of their CS and reproduced the bug as shown in the attachment again.
I suggest anyone who owns an ace, please go into *#0*# to test your phone. Keep circling around the lower-left box for at least 10 minutes. Reply to this thread if you're able or not able to reproduce this. I may print this thread to Samsung on my next visit to them.
I've also uploaded a video to youtube to show this. (it's around 1:51 for the bug to appear)
We need to get Samsung to fix this!!
Yup I've got the same problem.
Notice it a lot with Draw Something.
*#0*# doesn't work for me, probably because I am rooted and have a custom rom. (ICSunday by Jusada).
That probably means I lost my warranty
Yes, I have this problem to. The first time occurred with less than 30 seconds of testing and the second around 1:20 min.

Hey bro
Take a screenshot if it happens again, it's still a good evidence that there's other users that got this problem.
btw, does it draw lines to the same direction like in my photo?

Thanks, this is very awesome (i mean the screenshot)
I have the scrolling problem and when you are viewing really long pages and the screen suddenly starts scrolling rapidly
We surely need to tell Samsung to do something about it

Yes, it's Samsung's own test menu in stock roms. But it should be reproducible in whatever drawing app.
Thought i ONLY had this PROBLEM!!
Its not only in STOCK browser also in DOLPHIN, OPERA.. And others. The page suddenly moves to the end with a slight touch!! Wat does the SAMSUNG ppl say about this??
Hope we GET a EXCHANGE of THE SET!!
it always happen when I scroll the long page slowly :/
I hope Samsung will fix it soon
They said they will be replacing my phone's motherboard, as they have already replaced my touch screen.
I wonder if it's fixed in S5830"I", otherwise even exchanging with a brand new ace won't solve it. I would try to ask them to exchange with an ace plus, or maybe I had to escalate a brand new ace first, and take it to "repair"
Well, since its a hardware problem, I don't think they can fix it with an update. I've experienced it my self countless times as well.
I noticed this when playing Air Control...
Also the rapid scrolling in Dolphin Browser is familiar to me!
I have that probably too
Yaiyeee!! New phone

Well I faced that problem too while using DiskUsage App. Just a slight touch and it moved to right end corner.
i have the same problem.
I've had this happen to me as well, can be quite annoying.
I'm not sure there's anything we can do about it unfortunately, but it doesn't affect the phone all the time. If it did, I'd be asking for a refund
Although, those Galaxy Ace Plus' do look nice...
is ther a pertition we can sign? or something? obviousley its a fault, so now what for us ace owners??

[Q] Hard or software?

Hey guys,
Ive been using my ZU for a week now, and love it.
Only noticed one thing, sometimes when the phone is just with screen on, it will open apps and do random stuff on itself. (without touching the screen myself.)
I dont know if this is software related, or that my hardware is defective.
Anyone has any experience on this?
Kind regards,
Hoolz
Yeah, that's the so called "ghost clicking". It usually happens if you have some dirt on the screen. It was a bigger issue on pre-257 firmwares, so Sony has made thing better for most people by updating, so it's mostly a software issue.
Sent from my old Desire HD using Morse code
Awesome, was scared something was wrong with the phone.
Hope the next update will resolve this issue.

glad to know i am not the only one!
even it s no fun to have this bug...
Do you have a full screen protector? A case that covers or youre covering the light sensor next to the speaker?
yes i do, you think that can be the cause?

actually it s not a full screen protection, it s the film that was on the screen when i bought it.
light sensor works fine
I got mine fixed by calibrating the motion sensor in display settings.

Just did it but when i make a call, once i press the dial button, screen turns off
Sounds like your proximity sensor is covered up or not working. Do you have a screen protector or anything on the phone which might interfere with it? If so maybe remove it and retry. Also I'm sure you could find an app that would check it.

The Software is buggy and LG is not doing anything about it . I tweeted to them so many times and i thought HTC was bad.. they were amazing .. my first and last LG device .. however i am just confirming its not always proximity sensor issue .. Its the buggy software implementation.
i quite agree with you.... any idea when we get 6.0 ?
Would it be software? If we all have the same phone with the same software then we would all have the same problem, but we don't?
It's a software bug... Rebooting the phone fixed the problem, but then it starts acting the same way after few calls.
Sent from my LG-H961N using Tapatalk
You could try( if you haven't already), wiping your sensors. They sometimes get dirty & don't work properly.
I have same issue and have no protectors or covers or nothing just the stock phone. I think it's got to be some stupid software issue and it is very irritating. Went from one ridiculous phone into another headache...

Drama much? The phone has been out for barely more than a month... and not every phone is having this issue.
Process: Collect as many bug reports as possible, recreate and fix issues, release a patch.
LG is not going to release a patch just for your particular problem because you tweeted really hard.

Retarded much ? I did not tweet to them about this problem, many people did. I tweeted then wrt their update roadmap and yes the phone should not be out in the first place if it has such obvious bugs you are clearly not aware how responsible companies work. I rest my case. If you are happy then enjoy.

My phone doesn't exhibit this behavior. I just get tired of all the worst phone ever, LG how could you?? posts in this group. It's ridiculous. Get over yourself.

Well people value their money and thats why when they feel they have inferior product the will complain. Like micro scratches on the screen, bleed on second screen, back peeling off .. and if you dont have this issue does not mean these issues dont matter and it also means serious quality control issues at LG. You for one needs to get over yourself and respect other people's problems, i have none of the above problems except the software bugs, i still feel compassionate towards fellow community members who might have recieved inferior quality devices. I clearly understand your personality type, "I dont care if the whole world goes to hell if i dont have a problem i am good." You should try to be less selfish and i am sure i am not the first one in your life to call you selfish. Think about why those people think you are selfish.

Force 18:5 aspect ratio for unoptimized games

As the title says: Is there a way to force games into a 18:5 ratio? Most games don't work properly yet and have visual issues or are simply unplayable. I added 2 less extreme example.
PS: I'm talking about something like Samsungs app scaling settings. This phone is missing this option which is one of the biggest problems right now. Apps are obviously not always optimized for 21:9 yet so this is a neccesity. I hope Sony reacts to it as fast as possible.
Got a typo in the title. Can some moderator change this? That's a thing xda-developers needs to improve.
did you enable developer options and see if you can make any changes in there?

Yeah, couldn't find anything there. Can't check it again right now though, had to send my device in. Can check it again once it's back which will probably take 4-5 days. My speaker crackled a lot, probably a hardware issue.
so, it was defective right out of the box?

Yeah. They got it today so i guess i should have a new (hopefully) working one in 2-3 days max. It's really weird to not have a phone :')
actually, its a good feeling to not be annoyed for a few days with endless meaningless texts/spam phone calls..

Yeah, it just sucks that i'm unable to make some important calls/ hear music/ keep contact with a friend of mine. Makes everyday things much harder. Definitly happy once it's back

There's a software update coming 3/15 that could fix that.

I hope so. Currently waiting for them to either send it back (or to send me a new device). It only occurs in third party apps after all. Maybe my device helped them to find the problem?
didnt get anything on 3-15..anyone else?
