[Q] Menu button bug - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys
My menu button has been playing up recently ... for some reason when i open any app it seem to automatically press i.e even when i dont touch the device the menu button is being held and the menu for that app keeps popping up and i havent got a clue why.... i dont think its a hardware issue, i havent dropped it or anything but i have had this problem with SPR 7.0 and with the galmour s4/n3 roms as well any help is greatly appreciated

Flash back to full stock with factory reset. If still the same then hardware.

phone turn lockscreen on and off

hay
i hawe a strange problem. Phone turn lockscreen on and off by himself. Idk is there a problem whit software or a program during that.I done factory reset, rebooted phone, but same.
In task no program is runnig only necessary.
What Rom,kernel, and hboot do you have ??? Are you running a theme or have you flashed any extra add ons after you flashed your Rom ??

its all orginal. and 2.3.4, Sens 3.0
Phone is new and i dont want to f somthing for now.
I use go launcher, and widgetlocker, but when i delete this programs its the same.
Widget locker most likey is the culprit. Did do the factory reset from the menu settings???
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
yes ,but the same. Only now i made f reset, and didnt installed nothing. Seems to be ok. Hm, must be a program.
Yup widget locker more than likely is the culprit since it effects your lock screen and your having lock screen problems not a 100% sure but I'm pretty positive it is. I would recommend not installing the app again. However you can search the playstore for apps that do the same but don't screw up your lock screen you just have to try a few until you find one that works. Me personally I don't install any app that messes with the lock screen.
Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
yes , now im going to reload all apps whitout widgetlocker
Cool that should fix your issue.

lol ,now its getting started again. Idk what its wrong. Seems thats hardware software problem. I dont hawe nothing installed.
Hummm ?? Have you tried a factory reset from your bootloader ?? The settings reset isn't really a factory reset. I mean it is but it isn't because it doesn't completely wipe the phone like the bootloader's reset does I believe. Also before you do that or if you decide to do it don't forget to backup all of your imporant data.

i cant get in. Its not rooted.

you dont have to be rooted to reset your phone through bootloader, first go to settings >power > uncheck fast reboot, and then power off your phone, then press Volume down button + power on button, the phone will start in recovery mode, from there you can reset your phone to factory settings, everything will be wiped off so be sure to backup your contacts sms, pictures etc
thanks
it sounds like it might be a problem with your battery cover, ever drop the phone on the power button region?
no, now i wiped everything hole phone + sd card. Now i'm letting him one day noting installed. will see

do post back the results i had the same problem long time ago, but factory reset solved it
for now its ok, but IDK how long.
Glad its working for you.

Sounds like you might be having an issue with the lock button itself, could be software but i doubt it because uninstalling and reinstalling the software should have fixed it. Figure out what programs are using the lockscreen and remove them one at a time and see if one of them is creating a conflict if not then it has to be an issue with the button itself

[Q] Locked of of Settings Menu..pls help

Hello Everyone.
Im having a bit of a problem. Im running the unoffifial beta 2v4 the latest one by flapjaxx. The rom to me in my opinion was running fine until i downloaded all the inverted app for this rom throu the update tools function. I was pretty happy with my choice of rom i loved it. The problem began when my phone started to jam up when looking at my inverted contacts menu, the phone would give me a quick hiptic vibrate and then restart my apex launcher..So long sory short I factory reset the phone and now i can get into the settings menu. Phone states App not installed. i wiped the cach clean and did 3 factory resets btw and It still wont let me into the Settings..The phone now says settings is blocked for security reasons.. what the heck did I do wrong

you can try titanium backup..see if settings is in there and restore it(at your own risk, but its worth a shot), OR start from scratch and re-flash ROM. (do a back up of course!!!
good luck!!!

[Q] Home Key single press not working!

Hello peeps,
I have a problem with the home key in S3. Single press does nothing i.e doesn't come to home screen. If i am not wrong it happened after some app updates. The key itself is working fine because holding it brings up the task manager. The launcher is Golauncher ex,changing launchers didn't fix it.
Anyone had it before? I am waiting to see if something can solve this before factory reset.
Could be a rom related option to customize hardware keys, I'd suggest going through rom settings. If you're running stock then I think the only solution is to factory reset your phone..
factory reset made it work and then after some app installation didnt work again. Back to a nandroid old version and no auto update app.
