Samsung GSIII Version GT-19300
CM10.1 - Nightly 20130610
My torch/flash light is permanently on. Switching it on via the app makes it dimmer and then it goes to high brightness when toggled. I have managed to turn it off by toggling the app a number of times, but it always switches on again.
I cant see any services that could be causing this to happen.
Any help greatly appreciated.

I think some app of yours is misbehaving... If you don't know which app it is then the only way is to do a full data wipe and adding apps one by one..
Maybe you can look at the logs after your torchlight switches on..

I did a full reset and re installed cyanogen mod using clockwork mod. But the problem persists.
Im beginning to think it could be a hardware issue.. It stays on even if i just boot into recovery mode, or when the samsung logo appears on startup.
Is this possible?

Am I the only one that is sometimes seeing major lag when an app closes and the launcher redraws? In by case it is sometimes over a second.
Well known issue that has been mentioned already in numerous threads. I use SS launcher so don't have that problem.

the stock launcher will not lag on its own, check for background cpu utilization with os monitor app and disable those apps .

If you read carefully enough, Dr. Paul, you'll find that you are on ALF2!
Is LF2 only through Kies? I got the OTA update to LF1, and that's all the OTA updater says is available. Or it's just VodaGroan being rubbish as usual.

Been looking in the forum and found this issue under another heading. I fixed it by rooting and changing the davlik VM heap size from 256 to 128mb. How did Samsung manage to screw this up?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Another thing to consider is whether you've got power saving on or off? If it's on and CPU power saving is turned on, the CPU runs at 800mhz rather than 1400mhz. This will show a noticeable difference in smoothness.

i just wanna share how i got rid of the lag and home respawn issue on my sgs3... i'm not saying it is a fix but these are the only things i did that work for me... there is no harm in trying...
1. disable double tap home button to activate s voice.
2. disable s voice using application manager
3. reboot... and after 3 days, no lag or whatsoever... but there was always the home respawn thing when i'm running a lot of apps on background...
4. uninstall facebook app... this app seems to eat most of the memory... reboot... now, i don't need to close any program running thru task manager... i check it and see 12 apps running but never had a respawn.. all is well now... i don't even think of rooting flashing a rom now... everything just seems to be running so well...
**i know some of you would say that it's not an option to uninstall FB app, i for myself would love to use it but i'd rather have a lag and respawn free sgs3 and use the FB desktop mode... but then again...that's just me...

As per the title I get a strange behavior with the screen randomly (every 30 mins) when in sleep mode.
It happens both with data and sync on and in flight mode.
I'm on the latest fw of my intl. S3, I had this issue since the beginning.
I'm rooted.
How can I detect what is causing it? Is there an app?

It happens both via 3G and Wifi (where my ICS Tablet does not have the issue).
More importantly it happens in flight mode.
Thanks but I think it is an app or an OS part.
So, is this the cause ??
Happens with me too, but I am unrooted to try this method.

I have not tried, but I don't think it is a network related issue as it happens also when in Flight mode (everything switched off).
Make sense?

I tried in the past with no luck.
Partial wakelocks gives to me a huge numbers of apps/services. I do not see the option to have "the last one that caused the screen to go on".
Can you help me to narrow the search?
Help me!!
Am I the only with this issue???
It happened to me tonight, but I have never noticed it until now.
If u got the official Facebook app installed, then uninstall it and see what happens.
Otherwise uninstall your apps 1 by 1, untill u find the rouge app.this caused by an app

I had the exact same issue, and the same question a day or two ago.
I did what a previous user stated, I traced back my steps and uninstalled the latest apps I had installed and then installed one by one and found the one causing the problem. Unfortunately I cannot remember which app it was for me, but it can be any one of them.
Guess there must be a way to log all current system activity to a file and once it happens, check the log?

The problem with the "bug" in this case is that it drains battery power unnecessarily

The screen flash twice or 3 times every 30 mins, for a couple of seconds.
It is a drain, but I don't think a huge one.

Hi guys,
I'm having a weird bug with SMS notifications on my S3, when I get a text it will cut short or sometimes not even play the notification sound. I've tried various tones, restarting the phone, changing the settings off - reboot - turn setting back on, but nothing is sorting it... Anyone else had this issue and been able to resolve it?
Thanks,
J
Same problem here, its totally random.
I've noticed this myself a few times as well.
I had it, I changed to a different notification sound and that fixed it. Not sure if you can go back after? Whistle annoyed me so didn't try.

Do you keep your phone screen down on a table, there's a motion settings to mute ringtones if the phone is placed screen down on a table.

Hi all.
My SGS2 keeps crashing on me. It doesn't reboot, the screen stays off but the battery will drain right out if I leave it. I have to boot into download mode to restart the phone.
Is there an app I can use to monitor what might be causing the phone to crash?
Thanks
Can you please provide more information about your phone? What ROM are you on?
Anyways, if you can't turn on the screen, what's the use of an app?
Can you reboot into recovery?

Try re-flashing rom or kernel or trying new rom or kernel. If you get same issue on others then its likely a hardware issue.
I wanted an app that would log what was happening in the background before the crash to see if it was software related
. It happens on all ROMS so I am guessing I'm stuck with a hardware issue

If you had USB debugging enabled, you can check with adb... Dunno any other way to get a log.

Telling you're a noob isn't a bad thing. Trying to remain a noob is. You will learn that to get the most out of your phone, you need to read, read, and if you don't understand, search before asking it. Just a tip
Anyways, if you have ADB set up (in case you haven't, search for tutorials, its easy), here is how to obtain a log using adb: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=27754634

Please help me to solve A BIG problem I have.
My Samsung SII was automatically updated to the new android version Jelly Bean (I9100XXLS8). Ever since the update when i'm in the menu section of the phone, it speaks back ("Page 1 of 4, page 2 of 4 etc). This only happens when I flick through the menu pages. It still talks back when the phone is on silent or vibrate. I have tried the accessibly section already - talk back is not switched on. I have tried switching talk back on and off to see if that works and it doesn't. I have tried looking at the google voice section with no luck. It's driving me crazy - anyone know any ways to get rid of it?
EDIT: NoLED aplication was the problem.
Have you tried uninstalling talkback?
