[Q] Screen Presses Randomly - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
At least once a day, while my phone is in it's locked screen state, I'd here the familiar ripple sound as if something was pressing on the screen. I tried to remove the phone case but I noticed that the screen pressing is still there. I'd do a reboot and the problem's gone. Sometimes, this happens while I'm using my Messaging app. The spacebar would just "press" and I'd have to do a reboot again.
Any ideas on what this problem is and how I could solve it?
Thanks in advance.

Unresponsive Home button

Hey guys, I have a question.
Is it normal when your screen is locked then you press the home button to power up the screen then nothing will happen then when you press it again it will show the lockscreen?
Although its not happening always, just sometimes Im still woried.
Is it happening to you also sometimes? Thank you.
Is it just there is a delay, or is it not appearing at all?
Its not appearing at all. It happens sometimes, maybe once a day or 2.
The guy on another thread said it is normal.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
can you access recovery?
Did you try holding it down for 30+ seconds? It can sometimes take a really long press to trigger reboot.

[q] please help! Stuck on boot options screen

Hello, this morning I restarted my phone because it was freezing and it turned on on the boot screen where it gives me options to Recover, Reboot, etc. The volume button broke a long time ago. It sometimes works to move the option but pushing the power button doesn't do anything. Is there anything I can do to restart my phone avoiding this screen? It goes there every time. Could one of the volume buttons be stuck? Please let me know because I really need my phone ASAP. Thank You!

[Q] Need help for my SGS3 (latest cyanogenmod on it)

Hello everyone,
I'm a newbie at rooting.
I have used CM for 3 months but for a week it got a little strange.
Scenario 1) When I push the power button to get to lock screen, the soft buttons' light turn on for a moment but no change happens on screen. I push power button again, the same result. No other respone from my mobile. If I push power button for 10 sec to reset, i see a little green or purple light beam from the bottom right. After a while, it disappears. And still no response. I remove the battery as a last resort and put it back, when I push the power button, it's the same. Little colorful light beams...
Scenario 2) A short time ago, while I was playing a game on it, the screen just turned off and I pushed the power button... as you guess, the story goes on the same way.
It's now off, I couldn't get to it in any way.
What can I do to solve and how?
You guess it's urgent.
Sorry for my poor English, thanks in advance.
Can you restart the phone in download mode, or recovery mode?
I just figured out something:
The phone turned on and I disabled developer settings. After this, when the screen is locked and off and I push the power button, I see nothing on the screen (maybe a little purple or green beam at the right bottom) but the soft buttons turn on. I slide right to unlock without seeing anything, I pass the lock screen and it's now open. (when I touch the screen, the soft buttons turn on again and again as it should be) I just scroll the main pages right and left, push the volume or main button, they work. (it beeps when the sound is max) after 30 - 40 seconds... yay! The screen is on! It's totally the same all the time. It needs time to turn on?
Is it a software problem or is my screen about to break down?
Thanks again!!
it's a software problem. You can either factory reset, run the trim command if you're running android 4.3, or change to a different ROM.

White Screen after Locking

Hi,
My son has an unrooted Desire 610. Yesterday it started behaving strangely.
Whenever he presses the power button to wake the phone up, only a white scree appears. The only way to get out of this is to reboot the phone, but the problem reappears on reboot. He has restored to factory and the problem still happens.
The phone seems fine on wake up - he can use it until the phone sleeps. The problem only appears if he puts the phone to sleep or it sleeps naturally and then when he presses the power button to wake it, the white screen appears.
All suggestions really welcome as this has me stumped.
Thanks
Unlock it, root it, and flash a rom? Seems software related to me.
Or, if completely stock and relatively new, see if you can exchange it for another.
Or htc support may be able to help as I'm sure it's under warranty.
