I cannot for the life of me get past the lock screen on my UNROOTED Samsung Sprint Galaxy S3!!!! The last app I installed was Lightflow (paid) and Aging Booth. Phone was working fine all day then all of a sudden I picked up my phone and the talkback was on. I could not get past the lock screen. Talkback is on. I have pulled the battery and all that. Nothing seems to be working. Please help!

I have searched through the forum and but nothing worked to fix this weird incident.
I never rooted the phone and it just suddenly blacked out after I finished a phone call and let it sleep. I tried to reset the phone by using the volume button but still doing the same thing.
I do not use GPS so it has been disabled for entire its life.
Since I am in Canada I can't bring it to T-mobile store.
It only shows the status bar on the top and the buttons lit up but nothing work.
Thank you.
P.S. I only been used this for like 1 & half months. lol.
Have you tried pulling the battery?
When this i777 goes into "sleeping" state and the screen is dark, about every 2 minutes it will blink the lock screen for about 2 seconds and then go back to dark. Is it defective or a setting which controls this?
I would think there's a app for that.
Get better battery stats, is in the market, or if you Google it with "xda" you should be able to find the free version for xda members. That will tell you what apps are causing wake locks. That's where I would start. I've never seem mine do that.

Thanks for the input.
I booted the S2 into Safe Mode and saw the blinking ceased. So I rebooted normally and started deleting apps in reverse order of install and found the guilty party. It was an "alpha" program version and I notified the author.
Everything continues to work fine.
I got my AT&T Galaxy S3 on Saturday and have seen this issue a couple of times now. The issue is that sometimes the screen will not lock after the time I have set (30 seconds). Also, the touch key lights stay on forever until I lock the phone. When I unlock it the touch key lights stay on and the screen doesn't lock. The only way I've found to fix it is a reboot. I first noticed this when I received a text. I use goSMS and have it set to turn the screen on for 10 seconds when a text is received.
Has anyone else noticed this issue or know how to resolve it?
I'm also having the wifi disconnect/reconnect issue and the issue with the cell standby using a lot of battery.
The phone is rooted with the stock ROM.

Hmm, I did turn off the wifi power save mode using *#0011* because of wifi disconnect issues. I went in and turned it back on and rebooted the phone. I'll see if I still get the screen lock issue.
Hi folks,
I have been using extended controls on my LG 2x on android 2.3. I had the Autolock toggle with various other toggles and it worked fine. When I have is disabled it stayed like that.
I have now upgraded to a Samsung Galaxy S3 and using extended controls again. But when ever I disable autolock, to stop the pin screen coming up afer unlocking with widgetlocker, it still comes up with the pin screen. This never happened on my LG.
I have read other people having the same issue.
Do you guys know of any other apps/widgets that will disable/re-enable autolock on android 4.0.4?
Thanks
A few months ago I rooted my Samsung Galaxy S5. And until yesterday all were working right. But, without any change, since yesterday I can't activated the sleep mode not with power button and neither with screen look time... I have installed some apps for this function and they can block the screen as maximum (not switch of the screen) the screen is always working... I've tried to restore as company and nothing... Could somebody help me?? Thanks a lot.
