[Q] [Help] Screenshot Not Working - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is this only me to has this problem?
When I do screenshot by motion, it stuck at "saving screenshot..." most of the time.
Sometimes a reboot works. But after a few moments, the problem comes again.
Any way to solve this problem?
I'm currently using Omega V37.1 - XXELC.

Probably rom problem. Omega v40 is out, you might look at upgrading

Firmware issue I think. I too have had this happen. Pain in the butt.. But you can also take a screenshot by simultaneously pressing and holding your home+power button.

[Q] Standby button malfunction

Hello,
When I press the standby button on my X10, my screen goes black, which is normal. Lately, my screen goes black but immediately after that it returns to the lock screen, and I have to press it twice or more to get it black.
Is this software or hardware related and how can I solve this? Running Wolfbreak's ROM and Doomkernel V6. Running Wolf for about a year now and suddenly this problem starts showing up.
Hi,
its complicated, because might be both. If you used power button very often and/or your X10i is older it might be hardware issue.
I recommend you try different rom first and try it. If it would be the same, then replacement of power button should be the last fix . In that case I might help you with that.

Seems like I fixed the problem by wiping cache and dalvik cache. I'm not sure which one actually solved it. So it was software related.
Thanks for the help anyway!

Waking screen minimizes open app. (WananLite ROM)

I'm using WananLite ROM v3.2 (XXDLI3)
When the screen times out and goes black, I press the Home button to wake the screen again, but as soon as the screen wakes I see the app that was open before the timeout close and I'm taken back to whichever home screen I was at before I started the app.
If it matters, I have disabled the Home Button S-voice activation.
Does anyone else have the same problem?
Anyone know how I might fix this small problem?
Thanks.
Have the same Issue on DLI2 -.-' Seems to be a bug, that happens between the time when the screen goes off and got locked
I'm on a Jelly Bean leak & have that problem as well
same problem
i have the same problem, anyone found a solution yet? iam on ultima rom 7.0 hades.

Slow screen turn-on

Hi, so, I have my SGS3 for almost a week now. Using Omega v27 and enjoying every second of it.
One thing bothers me (besides the dialer ) - it takes the phone a good 2 seconds to turn on when i press the power button. I'm not talking about restarting itself. I'm talking when the phone is on, there is no app running, and i lock it. Clicking the power button should bring up the unlock screen, but it takes a whooping 2 seconds for it to turn on.
On my previous Galaxy Mini, it was instant.
Is there any way to fix it?

I have the same problem on every S3 i have ever used in my hands.
Its called "wake up lag"... 1.5-2s - its normal and I hate this so much!!!
It´s the time samsung need to wake up modem and so on after going to deep sleep (5s after switching off). You can download some software tools to prevent deep sleep, but its not battery friendly...
Its not a software problem - its a hardware problem - No... its a Samsung problem.

I have never had that problem. I really have no solution apart from a wipe but it definitely seems a issue as I have never faced it.
Sent from my GT-I9300
This is not a problem.
It was there in my S2 after ICS update.
It is present in S3 also and it takes a second before lock screen appears after pressing power or home key.
you have to live with this.
It's Samsung's 'wakeup lag' that seems to appear in every one of their Android phones.
No way to get rid of it other than to flash AOSP/AOKP roms I believe.

Have you tried doing a factory wipe? Flash a new firmware?
Also, speak English. I barely understood what you wrote.
I have the same thing.
Screen goes on automatically with ALL versions of ICS or JB.
Only with Gingerbread roms screen is OK.
What's different between GB and ICS/JB.
Is this a kernel problem, or a ROM problem??
Currently on Slim bean rom

AOKP (?) - Reboot when turning screen on (while Dialer is running?)

In two different AOKP roms (AOCP, PACman), I have a problem where if I'm on a call and forcefully turn the screen off by pressing the power button (as opposed to by the prox sensor or by timeout), the phone reboots. Interesting, if there's audio on the call, it will continue to play as the shutdown animation is playing.
I have the accessibility setting to end calls with the power button turned OFF. I can't think of any other settings which would affect this.
I tried searching on this symptom, but didn't find anyone with this issue. I clean installed both ROMs, but AOKP seems to be a common denominator. Anyone have advice for me?
Does it ever reboot at other times after you've pressed the power button, or is it only while in a call? I recently had a problem where the phone would reboot after I turned it on. I was on CM and went to SHOStock and it still did the same! I figured, hell, after two different ROMs and it still acting the same, maybe it was hardware. Ended up taking the phone apart and there was some gunk around the inside part of the power button keeping it held in too far and triggering the reboot after a few seconds. After removing the button and carefully cleaning it (it's very small), I now no longer have a reboot problem on either CM or SHOStock.

I've only had it happen so far when turning the screen back on during a call. If I don't force the screen off in the first place, the phone will happily turn the screen on and off due to prox sensor. It will also time out and let me turn it back on without the power button with no issue. Because of this, I don't believe it's a mechanical issue. I didn't have this problem until trying AOKP ROMs, the timing is too coincidental.
Based on what I'm seeing with the boot animation, it isn't a full reboot (I don't see the SGS II logo, for example). I didn't even know that rebooting only the OS was possible.
I assume there are logs I can check to help figure out what's going on, but I don't know where to find them.
I found a string of posts in the Carbon thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=46998058&highlight=just+carbon+reboots#post47133798. Same symptom, but different trigger. I tried, I can rotate the camera just fine. I'm currently running the 10/31 nightly of PACman, guess I'll update past 11/2 later today and see what happens.
11/6 was a bust (lots of FCs after a clean install), so now I'm trying 11/10, 11/4, or 11/5.
Initial results with 11/10 show that the problem is fixed; gonna restore my old ROM, go through the TiBu dance, and see what happens when I finish setting up 11/10 completely. Maybe it's something I'm doing.
OK, 11/10 fixed my primary issue. Further, I used to have pretty nasty screen-on lag that I couldn't fix even after messing with the CPU and I/O profiles. Hurray!
Based on my experience this may affect other AOKP based ROMs (like Carbon or AOCP), but it might have been present in pure CM (CyanogenMod) - hard to tell. Hope this helps someone else.
****, it's back. Must be something I'm doing. The quest continues...
