OK, so this is a really weird one. Never posted before as never had problem like this!
Current: SG3 i9300 international
Flashed a few ROM's without issue. Yesterday I flashed Slim Bean (had it on this device before without issue, so don't think it's the ROM). Full wipe etc before and after flash. After boot, I get to the homescreen and this strange 'notification' type sound repeats, like doo-de-doo doo-de-doo over and over again, sometimes it lags and overlaps itself, sometimes it stops altogether for a few seconds, then starts again. It stops totally when the screen goes off (deep sleep?). Really annoying.
No problem I thought - flash something else, so I tried another two ROMs (PA and Cyanogen 10.1) - full wipe before and after. Exactly the same issue occurs.
No problem I thought - I'll go back to stock, then come back to custom.
Went back to stock ROM (unrooted again) and suprise, suprise the noise was gone! Brilliant - fixed!
Flashed PA 3 this morning and the stupid noise is back again...
Any one got any ideas whats going on here? I don't think it's the ROM's themselves, but not overly techie, so wouldn't rule it out completely - the fact that it happens across loads of different ROMs makes me think it's not that causing it...

Seems to be affected by the volume of notifications, but not ringtone, alarm or media. I can't find a matching notification in my phone... although it sounds similar to "Bellatrix" notification.

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.

I use beautiful widgets clock (paid version) (4x2), no freezes whatsoever.
Try to update to the latest firmware ^^ settings>About Phone>
I've just updated to 3.6 from 3.5 - the issue has been in both. I also just flashed Siyah 1.6 but not sure if that would affect it anyway - I'm thinking not.
I like to have my call volume start soft and increase slowly. I'm often in a quiet environment and will hear the call as soon as it rings - having it loud to allow for times I am in the open/crowds scares the bejeesus out of me when I am sitting quietly. As far as I know I lost it when I moved to Wanam but it may have been earlier - I flashed Revolution at one point with Superwipe & I can't recall having the facility since then.. I have been learning which involved flashing lots of different ROMs to find differences/techniques etc.
Any advice on how to get it back would be appreciated.
Hm, I jusgt tried going back to a Stock ROM and it doesn't have the increasing volume option either. Maybe I'm dreaming/confusing it with the function on the Alarm clock I downloaded?
Or perhaps it was a mod in a ROM I tried earlier...
Anyone know of a way to do this? Preferably with a dialler that replaces the normal rather than one which adds an extra on to the current set up.
Hello S2 users,
I got my SGS2 just a few days ago. From start, I am experiencing a strange thing.
If I multitap the home button(2-3 times), Each and every colour on the screen inverts.
First, I thought it was some sort of bug in stock ROM, but today when I flashed Custom AOKP ROM, it happened there too.
I tried it on the bootanimation screen and even the bootanimation colours got inverted.
I am using Siyah Kernel.
Please tell if its normal or do I need to replace my device.
P/S: Sorry if this type of thread is already here. I could not find it.
Thanks in Advance.
I noticed that 2 on RR and some other roms but on CM10 nothing
Its nothing dangerous i can say.
It's Syhian kernel future
If you press 4 times home button and then be Negative mode
If you'd read the either of the Siyah threads/bothered to learn about Siyah before you started using it you'd know Siyah has inverted screen colours as a feature.
You can turn it off in ExTweaks (on the 'screen' tab).

It is normal. It is a feature (MDNie effect) of Siyah kernel which can be toggled on /off by pressing the home button 4 times.
It mod was made so as to invert white pages while browsing, in order to save more battery.
Thanks All,
I did read Siyah kernel's Features and all but seems I somehow missed a point or two.
Sorry for a new thread about nothing.
Hi there,
Unfortunately I couldn't find a similar post so here is my issue and question:
I'm not new to flashing, but i switched from my beloved S1 to the S2!
After trying different ROMs I decided to go with SlimBean. As the BLN is not supported I tried switching to the Dorimanx 7.47 Kernel.
Now here the problems start. First of all everything worked, it was nice and smooth but from time to time the display flashed red and came back to normal. After upgrading to Dorimanx 7.49 the problem was gone but my display-brightness and -colors were not the same. The brightness was unusually high and the colors seemed to be faded. (It quite looked like the gamma value were changed and since then I'm running my phone with a screenfilter-app)
So I reset all kernel settings before flashing the new kernel (including a fullwipe) and went back to the original Speedmod kernel +(SlimBean ROM) but the unusually high brightness and faded colors stayed the same!
My question now is: could that be a display hardware failure from changing the kernel or did I miss resetting some very basic core settings?? Has anyone experienced brightness/color problems like this?
thanks for any advice!
Flash a stock ROM and see if it persists.

I have been having an issue with my device recently. I am not sure if it is ROM related or a defective device, but it only seems to happen when auto rotation is enabled. I first noticed the issue last week when I flashed Beans 16 then 17. When the screen would auto rotate, the device would sometimes lock up and I would need to do a battery pull to restart the phone. This was happening over 5 times per day.
The strange part is, I never had this issue before when I was on Beans 14, or its just possible I didn't have auto rotate on, not sure.
I have tried everything - loaded stock firmware back and ran casual again, flashed Beans 14 and set my entire device back from a fresh install.
Again, tonight, screen froze twice and I had to to a battery pull
Does anyone have any idea what's going on? I never has this issue before and it's driving me nuts - having flashbacks of blackberry battery pulls
Clean or dirty flash? This happened to me the other day, froze out of nowhere for no reason

Do you have ripple effect, ink color or any of the TW features enabled while using AOSP Lockscreen?
Because if you do, and your phone times out, your phone will freeze and you will need to do a battery pull.
If you use AOSP lockscreen, you have to disable any of the TW lockscreen features.

Wow, I didnt know the AOSP lockscreen would casue those issues....so turned it all off, and so far so good!! Guess I never had those options selected before.
I have not had a single lockup/freeze yet. I wonder why Beans does not gray those options out when the AOSP lockscreen is selected.
