thats one solution, but the main problem came from ME disabling the ability of android system that keeps the phone awake,in app permissions (i did that in order to save some more battery life).
anyways thanks for your help.

Is it happening in all games or just some. If it's just some then it's just poor programming on the developers part

So far it happens in all the games I tried: Tempel run, asphalt6, all versions of angry birds, chees master, 3d pool,
On my sg s2 i never have this problem. Anybody else having the same problem?? And anybody know a setting that can solve it???
Now I tried several games with the "Smart Stay" turnes on, and it is not working 100%, it is very anoying that the screen turn off!!!!!!
Anybody have the same problem???
While I'm really enjoying my S3 so far. Smart Stay is almost a complete fail.. I've made sure it's activated, and is there anything I'm missing? I'm constantly having to reactivate my screen when I'm reading articles etc..
I'm confident this can be fixed either officially or unofficially, but something has to be done.
Anyone else having trouble?

Smart stay should work if the front cam is able to see your face.
You can check this by opening the camera and choose the front cam.
Now make sure your face is near the middle of the screen.
For me I've to move the bottom away from me and the top closer to me so the cam can see me. It takes a bit training to hold the phone like that but it works (for me).
I find totally ridiculous if you have to hold the phone in a certain angel for the screen not to turn off during games!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am happy with my S III, but the problem with the screen turning off is fatal.......I hope somehow there will be a fix for this very soon.

If you read my post, you would have noticed, that the problem actually is that the screen is turning off during games without the smart stay turned on. When I turn on smart stay, the screen still turns off sometimes, as the smart stay is not working correct!! (smart stay not working for me in low light, and you need to hold the phone in a certain angel, witch is not possible when you play games and move the phone around)
Other people have this problem........???????????????

Then you will need to go to settings before and afther you play a game. . . Thats not a solution -- at least not for me.

[Q][SOLVED] Not able to install Non-Market Apps

Hey guys, i'm currently not able to install non-market apps. I've checked in system settings that this is allowed. The only problem is that the install button cannot be activated but the abort button.
Does anybody has an answer for that? (example attached)
Thanks!

Juicedefender
Hi, are you using Juicedefender or any other app managing screen brightness ?
If yes, disable this app and it will work, you can reactivate it after you apk install
I had this issue with JD and it made me mad :silly:

Screen Filter
I had the same problem with Screen Filter. But when I turn it off everything works fine. So no problem at all.

Thank you!! I have JB Galaxy S3 and was having the same problem!! Found your post and disabled LUX (which controls screen brightness) and was then able to install my non-market app. Doesn't make any sense why that would have anything to do with it, however thank you for the fix!!

[Q] Help - Detect App(s) randomly turning the screen on

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?
Tx for your help.
Maybe your network doesnt support fast dormancy.

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'll give it a try.
To do it all my 100++apps would be crazy time consuming, I'll live with the bug!

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.

Truncated / Cut short SMS Notifications

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.

Is the app running in the background? Is wifi killing these apps when you exit them? Come on people! It litterally says in the top of the forum, give as much information as possible and not as little.
