Today my HTC get totally crazy... it turn off the wireless red, and network, it show in the task bar an icon representing missing LTE Smart ship and that stuff.. I turn it off... and now, no camera.. it shows a green android icon instead with a white box in the belly and a message when I click it that reads, application not installed.
Please help me, It's not rooted, (I don't know how to root this phone, very hard for me) so I CAN'T install an apk without permissions...

You should just be able to reboot and it should come back, what about booting into recovery and wipe the cache, reboot, other than that you will have to factory reset the device, but like i said, the apps cannot be uninstalled so rebooting should bring it back in theory.
It could also be a glitch with your launcher (GO used to to do this to me every once in a while on an old phone). Have you checked your list of apps in your Settings to see if Camera is still installed?
Done I fix it, reboot wasnt working for me so I reset the device to factory ... Now works!
I use only Sense so it wasnt a problem by a launcher, was a glitch I think.. the cell is new..

Edit!
I fixed the problem. I was going over my apps and their settings and I noticed that one of them,battery indicator pro had a lockscreen off feature which was flipped on. Totally weird! But I have my lockscreen back! Woot!
End edit :-D
Out of curiosity, has anyone else experienced this?
My 3VO's Lockscreen has disappeared. Legit.
When I press the screen lock button it simply doesn't. It turns the screen off, but it doesn't actually lock the phone.. as a consequence now the phone will do random things in my pocket and its annoying as hell.
I've tried a number of things to restore it just short of a full reset. That I'm trying to avoid because I use this phone as my main one and to restore all my setting would suck major ass.
Please someone shed some light on a solution for me?

Have you rooted and frozen some of the HTC APK's? (There's one for the lockscreen, I'd imagine) That's what it sounds like. If not, I'm not exactly sure what you can do aside from a factory reset...

I haven't even touched the whole perma-temp root thing. When we get permanent root then I'll crack this Guy open. But till then.. I'm not interested in it. Besides I actually like the sense 3.0 locksceen.
I seriously hope I dont have to factory wipe this thing. If i tell the phone to use apassword or pattern or pin code to lock up then the screen comes back .. but that's a pain in the ass to always unlock the stupid thing

hey guys i have the international version of the SGS3 it is non rooted and i have not fooled around with any custom firmware or anything running the stock firmware that came with the phone. It is just 12 days old. I have been facing very strange issues with the phone which are mentioned below, i tried contacting sammy support for help but the tech team was not available and they say that i will get a call back in 24hrs although i am quite sure all they will tell me is do a factory reset. My issues are
1) I am using the digital clock widget that came with the phone and it randomly freezes as in it stops at a certain time but the clock in the notification bar continues to work. I have to manually remove and place the widget again and it comes back with the correct time.
2) My home screen widgets start flashing on their own and i am unable to click on any widget, i have to restart the phone and it starts working again.
3) The led notification light starts blinking a wierd purple color all on its own even tho i have no notifications or anything on the phone again i need to restart the phone and it starts working, i tried installing Lite Flow lite to see if it solved the issue and with that installed the issue goes away but i would much prefer not having the software installed.
Any help from all of you guys would be appreciated. Also attached a screenshot of the 1st error.

For the time stuff i would maybe try reseting the time in settings and see if it helps. and also clear the cache for the digital clock in settings app, may also help.
as for the flashing and what not, i did see that before when i was flashing roms......figured it was a bad flash though, didnt think anything of it as it went away when i flashed my next Rom. would hate to tell you to to flash another Rom to fix your issue
have you dont factory reset in settings.....maybe that will clear it all up for you. i know you will have to redo your phone but if it fixes it then there you have it :cyclops:
the time issue has not happened in the last day, for the flashing part i am on the original firmware have not flashed any rom's was planning to flash omega but after i solve these issues.
My digital clock freezes over time as well...
ok so it seems to be an issue with the SGS3 only, are you using any custom firmware?
ok finally got a reply from sammy for
1) they say if u click on clear ram it will cause the digital clock widget to hang
2) for this issue they say restore factory setting
3) this is caused because the phone searches for signal and hence it blinks.
I'm stock, no root. I did factory reset and have not cleared RAM recently. My digital clock still tends to freeze.

EDIT: Problem was tied to a poker widget. Whatever page the widget was on was getting set as the first page you would see after you unlock from a restart.
The issue is minor, but still annoying. I am on the new OTA stock rooted LazyPanda S-OFF (previously on viperRom and it did it there too), and every time I restart the phone and go to unlock it the first time, it takes me to the screen just to the left of my home screen. If I hit the home button, it goes to the proper home page, so I have no idea what is going on. The only thing I can think that is causing it would be wiping cache and dalvik after I get a ROM up and running like I like it to do a minor update. When I was on viperRom and he put out a small update, I went and wiped those 2 and flashed the update and (I THINK) the problem started. Recently I flashed the new stock rooted ROM and got it all set up, then flashed wiped cache and dalvik to flash the wiper fix update and now I am going to the wrong home screen after restarts. Surely there is something I can modify to correct this. I just makes me worry that other things that I don't see might also be messed up.
I have searched everywhere for this, but seeing as how the keywords are all very common, I am not having any luck. I have posted this in various threads of the ROMs I have used, but nobody ever responds. Hoping more people will see this here and maybe I am not the only one.
Thanks!
Seriously, I am the only one? Does anybody at least know how to fix it or at least where to look?

I've had this happen before but that was just because when I turned the phone off I wasn't on the home page. I was a page to the left of the home page so when I turned the phone off and back on it took me back to the page I was on before I shut the phone off. That's all I could think of to cause that especially if you hit the Home button and it goes to the correct page. Try this. Leave it on the home page and turn the phone off. Turn it back on and see what page is displayed.
The other issue could be that the page you think is your home page really isn't and is actually a page to the left. That's why it reboots to that page and not the actual home page.Just a thought
Try rearranging your screens by pressing home twice then click and drag until the one you want us in the center.

The one I want is in the center with the home icon in the corner. This is the screen that by default is the home screen (one with the clock widget) and I have not added or removed any screens since flashing or installed any mods or themes.

So did you actually have this same problem? I have never tried a different launcher and this does seem to be a minor oddity.
Yeah I did have that...it would start up to a black screen the first time I unlocked at lockscreen. I also got rid of the HTC lockscreen apk so I'm using nova launcher and aosp lockscreen.

When you are on the home screen press home again. This will show all your screens. The one with the house icon in the lower right corner is your home screen. You can move them around to the order you want.
Yeah, and my home screen is set correct. It goes to it fine when I hit home, but is wrong after a restart the first time I unlock.

I've had my phone unlock directly to my dialer after a reboot before but not a different homescreen.
Just try deleting all your homescreen and testing which one is your center one. Maybe it will reset whatever is messed up

So after doing some removing of panels on my phone, I figured out the problem is tied to a widget that I have on that page for a Poker app that I play. Whatever page has this widget on it, gets set as the first page you see after you unlock from a restart (and only after a restart). Really weird and I guess that is why I am one of the only ones with this problem since I bet most people don't use the widget (I get extra chips for using it). Thanks everyone for your input in helping me solve this.
OK, I don't know what is happening to my phone but the notification pull down screen keeps opening on its own. It won't open all the way but just enough to cover the area where the clock is at the top of the screen. My phone was rooted, I was still running the stock tmobile rom when it started. The only changes from stock was that added google now. Once it started acting up I changed roms and the problem was still there. If anyone has some thoughts as to what could be causing it, any help will be appreciated.
Did you wipe? Also do you have an alternate lockscreen or notification apps?
Lol um...I'm pretty sure the answer to this is pretty obvious but I shall wait and see it's resolve.
I wiped everything but the SD card before installing the new rom. And no alternate notification or lock screen or anything.

As above, is there any way to do this?
An xposed setting maybe?
Edit Solved... Gravity Box setting under Display Tweaks / Unplug turns on screen
I KNOW that i saw an option to do this in a Sony app. It was either in the STAMINA settings or the Smart Connect app. I remember seeing it and thought "Hmm... nah, i don't want to disable that".

Yeah I thought Id seem it somewhere without using exposed, but I'm buggered if I could find it today. In the end I just concluded it must have been in a custom rom I'd flashed to try out.
Yeah, i searched for it now, but i give up. I bet it'll show up when i least expect it, like in a year or something

I installed GravityBox but I don't know now whether to keep Xblast Tools or not... after all, they both do almost the same things...
Also, it does work with stock rom, but Pie Controls (I love them, but the play store ones are fugly) just work when both status and nav bar are showing... tried all possible combinations but nothing..
Anyway, I thought for a second to discard the led when charging but then again 4 out 5 times I plug it in the full dark and the led is the only thing telling me it's charging...

After playing with gravity box I uninstalled Xblast and the advanced power menu modules.
Is there something in Xblast that is missing from GravityBox... Im not a huge fan of Pie control. However I have set it to pie control when in expanded desktop mode and it works just fine, but not from the bottom border, I had to set it from the top border :good:
Edit, I set the trigger area to 15 and its working just fine from the bottom borner now
I tried it too and it was working... until I decided to change the transparency of the status bar to 100%...
Then, SystemUI stopped every 2 seconds, so I deselected the module and restarted, cleared cache and data or Gravitybox, reselected it, restarted.
SystemUI stopped like crazy again.
And then (who knows why) I pressed (I'd say involuntarily, but that was not the case) the "expanded desktop" button thinking that maybe the mess had to do only with the status bar.
Needless to say that it hadn't.
At that time SOD like crazy, I mean I turned on/off like 15 times to make it work again.
Eventually the screen (with SystemUI error) came up, I deselected and uninstalled the Gravitybox module and made a reservation with my tattooist for a tattoo on my forearm that says: "If it's supposed to work on AOSP ROMs ONLY, and you have a [email protected]£&ING stock ROM, DON'T INSTALL IT!".
Seen that I crapped in my pants tonight too, I'd say it's time to go to bed. (And unlocking the bootloader comes closer and closer...).

Its working for me now, so I'll run with it, without changing any transparency settings lol
I had the system UI thing with Gravity Box a few weeks ago before I had unlocked the bootloader and I crapped myself as well..
