Very annoying problem this, ive only done the ROM update offered by T-mobile to fix some bugs.
Now it will randomly stop responding when you press any button on the phone it doesnt do anything. If you hold down the power button then tap it again sometimes it comes to life. Ive called it when it does this to try and wake it up as it were or send a text, nothing it doesnt even recognise they have been sent after the restart. All i can do is a soft reset. Anyone have a clue what could be causing this?

I have this problem as well. sometimes pressing the power key all that happens is the keys light up but no response on the screen, you may fin dif you leave it a few minutes it will start to work again. I'm not an expert in these things but it seems to be similar to if you have a faulty memory stick in a pc. I'm on my 5th replacement from HTC on just 6 moth of owning the phone. Its a complete nightmare and renders the phone completely useless. Send it to htc for repair. check any return handsets very carefully they send you as they sent me 3 handsets with the screens incorrectly fitted. Take date stamped pics of your handset also before sending so you can prove the condition of it before it was sent to them.

I am also suffering from this.
Tried searching around for this but hopefully someone can help.
I've got an S3 running stock 4.0.4 firmware. I'm having 2 very frustrating issues with this phone:
1) At first I thought this was a Swiftkey issue but happens with stock keyboard. when i go into the messaging app occasionally, when pressing keys on the keyboard - nothing appears. I have to quit messaging app and go back in.
2) another very annoying issue is when in the phone book and pressing the green phone button to dial someone, sometimes it will take 10 seconds for the phone to make a call. If i happen to press it more than once during that 10 seconds, it will make the call, and say for example the other person has picked it up, the dialler will then place another call - to the same person! The other person tends to say - "why are you putting me on hold and calling me again!?"
Very annoying and not sure what to do. Really do not want to do a restore.

The least invasive solution will be to clear the cache for the all the apps affected and reboot.
Or just wipe cache from recovery and see where it goes.

Reduce animation scale to 0.5
go to setting>developer option>animation scales
You can also set no animation so that phone will response in less time

How is that very different from a restore?

Unfortunatlly mate, i think ur having problem with this stock rom did you try to factory reset your device to eliminate those bugs. or flash another Rom because this is definitly a Rom problem.

Same issues that I'm facing
I'm also facing the same issue.... Long black screen pause when exiting or moving from one app to other. Very very frustrating ....
Tried all the trick in world including those that mentioned below.... Will be returning the device and going for a iPhone 5 !
Same exact issue, any results?

I am having the exact same issue with my S3. Sometimes calls take up to two minutes before they register. The phone remains completely responsive the whole time, and I can try to dial a bunch of different numbers (doesn't matter if I dial a number directly or if I quick dial a favorite or whatever). Suddenly, two minutes later it appears to register that, "Oh, I'm a phone!" and then dials all of the numbers all at once. Two minutes is a very long time to wait for the damn thing to dial. Especially when some iPhone user is sitting next to me going, "Seriously? You put up with that?" It is embarrassing.
I am also on the stock android 4.0.4 (verizon) and I would really really rather not have to wipe it clean and re-install.
The rest of the phone is fast (I am using go launcher) with the exception of the "Negative Colors" widget and the "Assistive light" widget. Both of those act just like the dialer. I hit the widgets and sometimes nothing happens for a minute. Again, the phone is completely responsive the whole time and I can hit these buttons over and over. Suddenly it all registers and then my screen flashes between normal and negative about a hundred times (once for each time I hit the button in frustration), and the led flash strobes on and off (again, once for each time I tried to get it to work).
This does not happen every single time though. Sometimes it behaves properly. Other times, it is super slow, but once it reacts, then I can make calls quickly until I let it sit untouched for a while. Then it gets all slow again.
I thought I'd try flushing the cache, but I cannot seem to find what cache I should flush. I can't find a dialer app, and the only other app that looks appropriate is the Dialer Storage app, but it does not have a cache I can flush.
Can anyone point me to a diagnostic tool that I can use to determine just what the phone is doing at this time? I have tried emailing myself the logs using log viewer, but they are huge and I can't seem to find anything there that I can sink my teeth into. Any help would be appreciated. My iPhone owning friends are becoming insufferable.

have you tried a different modem( also use getril to match modem and ril)

Thanks for the quick reply. I didn't know what a ril was and did a little research. Fascinating.
As far as I can tell, and please bear with me since I am a complete noob here (though I am resonably facile with Linux), since I am running the original ROM, I don't have any influence over the RIL. Is that correct? I downloaded getril, but it says that my device (Verizon GS3) is not supported.
What is the text that would show up in a log if I made a call? I'm going to try and search the logs again, maybe that will tell me something,
so i have had this problem for a about a mouth wondering if anyone else has had it, the phone is running the viper rom 4.1.0 but has happened with earlier roms as well, i will get a phone call or text of just trying to unlock the phone, hit the top button and nothing happens, i have been able to answer the phone call when the screen is blank but cant get it to kick on, i end up having to hold power and volume buttons to force a restart into the recovery and do a system restart, sometimes it happens 2-3 times with in a hour sometimes i go a week without it happening. has anyone else been having the same problem ?
My phone is not playing
Dial tone
And do not hear what I'm talking about during a conversation
And I do not hear anything either
In a conversation through whatsapp the sounds work
And in all other applications
My phone is note ||
rom
lineage-14.1-20171019-tilak-n7100.zip
The phone worked without a problem before that but suddenly in the middle of a conversation it was turned on again and since then nothing has been heard in the conversations
In addition, I checked another SIM on my phone, and with it the same thing happened

Press and hold the Power and Volume down buttons for 12 seconds.
Use the Volume down button to scroll to the Power Down option.
Press the Home key to select.
Note The device powers down completely. It is recommended that the device be powered up in Safe Mode.
- Deployments
I pressed for 12 seconds and the machine was turned on again I had no choice I have custom speakers and still it does not work I tried to run in safe mode and it did not help
Resolved
I flash ROM
The phone is now working
Been having this for a while now. When you come off a phone call, and I hang up via the red hang up button, it takes 4 to 6 th sometimes 8 seconds to actually hang up.
If the other party didn't hang up, they could hear everything I say even after I press the hang up button.
I have tried Google dialer and it's not there but stock dialer is needed for a lot of dual SIM functions.
Any advice please?
Maybe try clear cache of the app
Reboot Removes Delay

Hi
I am having the same problem and just started looking for help. The only thing that stops this is a reboot of my phone. Gradually on a scale of calls made/received (not sure if it matters which), the length of time to hang up the call increases. When it gets to "painful" levels I restart the phone and it's nearly instantaneous again.
This is a bug in the stock LG dialer. Mine started after the latest Oreo update. Pre-update, I didn't notice any real issues.
This is driving me nuts as well. Has anyone found a fix for this? In my case even restart didn't fix it. The red hangup button is taking ages to respond and the call doesn't hangup until the other party hangs up
