hey guys i have the international version of the SGS3 it is non rooted and i have not fooled around with any custom firmware or anything running the stock firmware that came with the phone. It is just 12 days old. I have been facing very strange issues with the phone which are mentioned below, i tried contacting sammy support for help but the tech team was not available and they say that i will get a call back in 24hrs although i am quite sure all they will tell me is do a factory reset. My issues are
1) I am using the digital clock widget that came with the phone and it randomly freezes as in it stops at a certain time but the clock in the notification bar continues to work. I have to manually remove and place the widget again and it comes back with the correct time.
2) My home screen widgets start flashing on their own and i am unable to click on any widget, i have to restart the phone and it starts working again.
3) The led notification light starts blinking a wierd purple color all on its own even tho i have no notifications or anything on the phone again i need to restart the phone and it starts working, i tried installing Lite Flow lite to see if it solved the issue and with that installed the issue goes away but i would much prefer not having the software installed.
Any help from all of you guys would be appreciated. Also attached a screenshot of the 1st error.

For the time stuff i would maybe try reseting the time in settings and see if it helps. and also clear the cache for the digital clock in settings app, may also help.
as for the flashing and what not, i did see that before when i was flashing roms......figured it was a bad flash though, didnt think anything of it as it went away when i flashed my next Rom. would hate to tell you to to flash another Rom to fix your issue
have you dont factory reset in settings.....maybe that will clear it all up for you. i know you will have to redo your phone but if it fixes it then there you have it :cyclops:
the time issue has not happened in the last day, for the flashing part i am on the original firmware have not flashed any rom's was planning to flash omega but after i solve these issues.
My digital clock freezes over time as well...
ok so it seems to be an issue with the SGS3 only, are you using any custom firmware?
ok finally got a reply from sammy for
1) they say if u click on clear ram it will cause the digital clock widget to hang
2) for this issue they say restore factory setting
3) this is caused because the phone searches for signal and hence it blinks.
I'm stock, no root. I did factory reset and have not cleared RAM recently. My digital clock still tends to freeze.

Try to update to the latest firmware ^^ settings>About Phone>
OK, I don't know what is happening to my phone but the notification pull down screen keeps opening on its own. It won't open all the way but just enough to cover the area where the clock is at the top of the screen. My phone was rooted, I was still running the stock tmobile rom when it started. The only changes from stock was that added google now. Once it started acting up I changed roms and the problem was still there. If anyone has some thoughts as to what could be causing it, any help will be appreciated.
Did you wipe? Also do you have an alternate lockscreen or notification apps?
Lol um...I'm pretty sure the answer to this is pretty obvious but I shall wait and see it's resolve.
I wiped everything but the SD card before installing the new rom. And no alternate notification or lock screen or anything.

I'm trying out CM10.2 and I'm noticing that my notification vibration is really weak. I've looked in settings and don't see anything built-in. I've searched all over and found a few things about changing the duty or dutys file in the sys/class/timed_output/vibrator path and I can't get anything to stick there even in r/w mode.
Anyone able to help me here?
Thanks!
So since im a noob i cant post a question about this rom in its own thread and am forced to do so here. Dont know if anyone running into the same issue will even be looking here but here goes. Was wondering if anyone else has run into the same issue with the last 3 nightlies. 9/18 - 9/21 when i pull down notification bar and open tiles, the screen brightness automatically turns all the way up and will not change unless done manually. after its changed it will go right back to full brightness as soon as tiles are opened.
help?
reverted back to 9/17 and everything works as it should, just cant update to a newer build.
Hello guys,
I just received the update for Android Nougat and is quite nice, however, I have a question.
I enabled the option always on display, but when I lock the phone besides the time it shows me the battery icon. Do you know how to get that icon off?
On the previous version of the OS I didn't had that battery icon with the always on display enabled.
Also, I just wanted to ask if there is anyone who know's to enable the system ui tuner for this phone.? I searched over the internet and some people are stating that is disabled for the LG phones, is that correct?
Thank you.
Bump, because I'd like to get rid of the icon too.
