Hi,
I have Samsung Galaxy S3:
Android Ver.: 4.1.2
I9300JKEMC1
Recently, the alarm does not ring sometimes. I have no idea why, and it makes a lot of troubles...
I have noticed that when it did not ring, when I click the home botton, I see that the time at the lock screen is incorrect for a millisecond and then it turns to correct.
I tried to turn off the automatic date and time and I use a manual time zone, but the problem keeps showing from time to time ()
Someone have any idea how to solve this issue?

Anyone???
I tried to flash a new Samsung original rom from sammobile.
I wiped the deivce using CWM.
The alarm keeps not ringing. I don't know what to do...
Again, the same problem; The clock freezes at night and the time it should ring passes.
When I click the Home button after I noticed the alarm did not ring, I see an incorrect time on the lock screen for a half of a second and then it turns to the correct time.
Maybe some application causes this???
How can I find the source of the problem?
PLEASE HELP!!!
You require a service centre .

Hi all,
I'm having a problem with my sgs2 that I'm unable to solve.
The problem is that sometimes, not always, my phone does not enter sleep by itself. Infact it doesn't lock itself either.
Also, again sometimes, if I have a missed call alert or text the display lights up but then stays lit sat at the lock screen.
I've done some testing. I have tried different roms and tried the stock Samsung tom without modifying any settings and the problem remains.
If the phone is in my pocket then it can be a while before I notice. Today this happened for about an hour before I checked my phone. The phone was hot and the battery level had significantly dropped.
I've also noticed that with sound and vibrate switched off, sometimes when receiving a call the phone vibrates for 1/10 of a second. Everytime this has occurred the screen has stayed on after lighting up for the call.
I have wiped the user area on my phone but note this did not delete my music and pictures. Is this correct?
Any ideas? I'm really stumped and it's ruining the phone for me.
Thanks.
To see what apps/processes are causing the device to wakeup from deep sleep download and install Better Battery Stats and see under Partial Wakelocks.

Hi everyone !
I'm new here (and not a native english speaker, so apologies in advance for any grammar mistakes)
Before making this thread, I looked for info here, but I'm not sure for what to search.
I'll try to explain my problem here.
I bought a Galaxy SIII from my provider 3 weeks ago and everything looked fine, till last week.
Some times to time, with no apparent reason or cause, while my phone is on sleep mode, on my desk, or in my pocket, playing music, I have the following problem: when I push the on/off button to wake up my phone, my screen is turning on, taking me to the lock screen.
But, my screen brightness is very low, like set to the minimum.
And when I draw my unlocking pattern, screen goes black.
Bottom buttons are lit and my phone seems to be OK, I can feel haptic feedbacks.
But the screen is black.
If I push the on/off button again, screen stays black and bottom buttons are not lit anymore, as a usual Sleep Mode.
If I push on/off again (depending on how much I wait between 2 on/off):
- My phone awakes from Sleep and takes me again to the unlock screen, brightness still very low. And after the unlocking pattern traced, black screen again
- If I didn't wait enought after putting it into sleep mode, in this case, I don't have to redraw the unlocking pattern. I'm back to my home screen...
for 1/4 of a second, stilll with brightness at the minimum. And screen goes black.
And after a serie on onoffonoff, boom, my screen is back to full and normal brightness and everything is OK.
At the beginning, my phone did that once in a while. I thought at the time ti was after pushing the on/off button while using a CPU/RAM hungry app, my phone struggling to recover....
But now, it's totally random.
Depending on .... I don't know what, I have to do the onoffonoff thing 2, 5, 10, 50 times in a row so my phone can recover from is half comatose.
Yesterday, I could not use my phone for half an hour ...
and if someone calls me, I hear the ringtone, but screen stays black.
I can answer the call (but not knowing who's calling) by sliding on the part of the screen where the slider normally is.
Funny thing is about removing the battery. It doesn't solve my problem.
When I do so, my phone boots, I see the "Samsung Galaxy SIII" boot screen, on low brightness (whih is not normal ...)
After that, I normally have another boot screen with my provider's logo and tone. But screen goes black again (but I still here the tone)
Then I realized it started to happen when my phone proposed me a Samsung update.
I tried to reset my phone to factory settings but it didn't work, the update was still here.
For a while I thought my problem was solved, because my phone behaved normally for 3 or 4 hours, without problem.
But it came back.
I found on the internet several "almost-same-problems" without proposed solutions.
Like checking if the proximity sensor was blocked by a protective transparent plastic sheet, or a case.
I tried to to remove mine.
Didn't work.
Some people said it was linked to their phone trying to acquire a wifi network.
My wifi on or off, withiin or without the range of a wifi router didn't work ...
I tried to note things down about what I did, when, how, app launched before the problem appears.
I checked battery info (temp, voltage, etc).
No pattern emerged.
So.
Hs anyone of you enountered the same problem ?
Do you have ideas, solutions I can use ?
Or maybe a voodoo prayer ?
I could sent it back to my provider which will bounce it back to Samsung. But it will take ages (3 to 4 weeks ...) :'(
Thanks in advance !
do a factory reset, go completely stock
if that doesn't help, send it in

That's what I did.
I tried by going into the Parameters menu, and reseting.
I tried by booting my phone with Vol+ / Home / Power buttons to access a console mode and do a wipe data/reset.
The problem is that my phone got an update like one week ago from a 4.?.? to 4.1.2.
And even with a reset, my phone reboot with the 4.1.2 version, which seems to cause this problem.
Or maybe not, but I can't be sure.
As I said, after a factory reset I did yesterday, everything went well for 3 or 4 hours and the problem reappeared.
send it to the service
[Q] Phone get stuck with screen locked. Rebooting starts an endless "startloop"
Hi, I have this Galaxy S3 i9300, with Wanam ROM and Boeffla-Kernel 2.12.
Sometimes, when I lock the screen, it just freezes in there. I'm unable to wake it up, and the LED keeps flashing the last notification.
Most of the time, I get notice of it when I receive a notification (it rings) and the phone cannot wake up. Calling and trying to trigger another notification does not wield any results.
The weird part is this: When I restart it, the OS starts as it should, but it "skips" the lockscreen (when I restart my phone, first thing I'm presented is the pattern lockscreen, all Android default), and it goes directly to the home screen. The touch screen is unresponsive (but it does vibrate when I press any of the two bottom buttons), but phone is still alive (few animations plays smoothly).
Then it restarts. The startup LED (fading blue to bright blue) doesn't turn off (normally it would turn off even before the lockscreen is presented).
Disabling the lockscreen wouldn't solve the problem, nor does starting on "safe mode". Same issue.
Booting into CWM and wiping data/cache folders solves it, but resets my phone. Restoring a backup (data folder only) also works.
Funny fact is that even with a fresh backup (which works), it might just hang up like before (although I didn't modify/install anything).
Logging files should give me some info, but I don't know how to retrieve them, let alone on this condition.
The only step I did so far to try to solve it was to disable a notification program (Logical, it seems to hang up when I receive a notification, and as a wipe to the data folder solves it, I presume it's an rogue app. But never, ever I had a problem with this app, but who knows if on an update, it's crashing my phone)
Does anyone have any information regarding to this? I've never seen something like that.
How do I recover my logfiles during an emergency?

Had another lock-up. No notifications received and the notification app was disabled. How do I get the log file?

What is your screen time out set to? doesn't help if both aren't set to the same time
I'm having the same issue: lock screen not working/keyguard not activating. My G2 Mini is only one month old and it already did this for three times. The only solution was to make a factory reset, which is quite unpleasant. The first time it apparently did this after I had used Gravity Screen on my phone. The other two times I don't know what may have triggered the bug.
It seems that I have to do once again a factory reset. Anyone else experienced this bug? Any ideas instead flashing kdz again? I hope the most awaited Lollipop update would solve this issue for my device.
