Galaxy S III Lock Screen On Android 4.1.2 Can Be Bypassed Easily
====Title====
Samsung S3 : Full Lock Screen Bypass
========Summary========
It is possible to bypass the lock screen on the S3 allowing an indivdual full access to the phones features
==============Steps to recreate==============
1) On the code entry screen press Emergency Call
2) Then press Emergency Contacts
3) Press the Home button once
4) Just after pressing the Home button press the power button quickly
5) If successful, pressing the power button again will
bring you to the S3's home screen
=====Notes=====
1) It can take quite a few attempts to get this working, sometimes this method works straight away, other times it can
take more than 20 attempts.
2) The method has been tested on 3 S3's
3) The method also seems to work better when the mobile has auto rotation on.

hi everbody
i'm new to android systems, recently i bought a NEW Samsung Galaxy Y pro duos (B5512) smartphone :
it has android ver. 2.3.6 pre-installed , 2 cams , touchscreen & QWERTY keypad , i'm wondering if any one can help me with some issues:
1- can it be upgraded to the new version of android ISC 4.1.1 or 4.1.2
2- when making calls the screen dims and go to sleep even if i put it in speaker mode and not close to my face for the sensor to work so i have to press the power button to activate the screen and end calls
3- in standby mode pressing any key activates Google search feature , I need to replace it with the dialing number function like nokia asha
4- i make/end calls with the key pad but receive/reject calls only with the touch screen by sliding a circle , which is not good in many times , can i customize a key to answer/reject incoming calls instead/beside the touchscreen
I'm a system administrator & I think I can do hard procedures if guide write
please note that I need not to void the warranty
many thanks in advance, any help will be appreciated.
Hi! I've bought a s 3 mini in Malaysia for my mother, and after 10 days she uses it, the bottom part of touch screen doesn't work anymore.
The bottom part (last icon line) and menu key and back key don't work anymore. The phone is not falling down, neither goes in contact with weather... It's very strange. it has happened after a simple call.
do you think is it an hardware problem? or is it possibile to fix via software?
thanks in advance.
The Capactive Touch buttons on Galaxy S2 does NOT dim or goes out automatically & rather radiates a strong touch screen light,even after the "Touch Key Light duration is altered to various intervals (1.5 sec or 6sec)" . The two Touch light only goes off with the Phone's Screen timeout or manually (pressing the power button) .
It was never like this till last week when the Octa-LCD inside my SGS2 broke & today when i changed the complete display assembly of the SGS2, i got to take note of this peculiar & harassing problem only now..which is eating up my mind.What's happening &why? Was the Screen replacement Not correctly carried out (done at my Authorised Samsung Service Centre) HARDWARE problem or is it due to any Software issues? (Samsung Service Centre did say that they did no software job,only just a screen replacement i.e a Hardware job on my SGS2)
i'm Rooted, on JB 4.1.2, Stock Rom with Siyah Kernel !
Though Samsung have offered me to replace my screen for a second time in a few days ( they dont have any more stock of the SGS2 scrren at this branch), but i myself NOT Sure..what's causing the problem ? (Everything in my SGS2 is running fine except this stressful quirk which was Not there before).
.'m at a fix ,please Help me with your advices ASAP !!!!
Have you tried flashing a different kernel like Apolo kernel 4.15b or try an older version of siyah kernel 6.0beta4.
I don't really think it is software problem if it was working perfectly fine before.
HELP my SGS2 !
Thanks @gsstudios for the good advice !
...but is there any app/mod for the SGS2 that can control the capacitive buttons light settings, other than the system settings for the SGS2 like the one> Galaxy Button Lights https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.notquiteinsane.galaxybuttonlights&hl=en (works for SGS6 but not in SGS2)
I'm Not quite a Flashholic,neither do i get much time to tinker around ..so any other quicker way,except flashing a different rom, to control the light settings?
* 1 important thing Maybe ...when my Phone with the "New" screen was booted for the first time, the "developer options" & "adb debugging" were left enabled by me ( to backup my contacts , messages,etc) Could this have any detrimental effect on the capactive button light settings? I have thereafter disabled/enabled those options & rebooted the phone many times but nothing simply changes !
Btw, if all other functions of the phone is Ok ( i checked the phone's sensors with CPU-Z & everything was running fine) & the Screen touch response seems perfectly ok ,then also can this capactive button quirk be the result of Hardware manfunctioning /defect arising from the very New replaced Samsung Octa LCD itself? // I did not install any new apps, nor me,nor "Samsung Service Center" did anything on the Software part of my SGS2 recently //
Currently, only two options for those Capacitive button key lights work :1) always on & 2) always off & i have opted for choice 2 to save the distraction from the glaring/disturbing light of the capactive buttons & mainly to save some battery power !
So,if any body else have a great idea to fix the light quick , i would be immensely thankful to all !
i think u should reflash stock firmware and see if that fixes it.
yeah, Zyfloss, as you said it & i also similarly thought...i reckon the problem has been solved as of now with thë flashing of the SGS2 official Stock JB 4.1.2 Rom,the capacitive lights now seems to be working normal,timing out automatically after 1.5 sec or 6 sec as i want it ! Anyway, Thanks to Everyone who saw my post, tried to help & replied ! :good:
Hi everyone,
This is my nightmare nowadays. For example, while texting in whatsapp , when i received a phone call, screen suddenly changes into the full screen incoming call interface. And because of the answer button is located about the keypad, i accept the call by mistake everytime. This is a very annoying situation for me. I am not a good android user enough and i made a lot of search about that. Unfortunately i didn't find anything.
My question is, is it possible to change incoming call notification as dropdown from the top of the screen style while using another application?
Thanks in advance..
