So i noticed that when I get a mms the flash on my camera turns on and off rapidly. I am currently using hangouts for messaging and I don't know if this is an issue with hangouts or the phone so I was wondering if anyone else has this same issue or knows a way to turn this off. I am on stock rom.

So I was able to determine its not specific to hangouts but to my phone in general. Also it only happens when my phone's screen is off. Its as if its trying to act like a notification but instead of just vibrating or an LED its using my flash.

I'm having some kind of delay when using the virtual keyboard or regular keyboard. After I type I have to sit here and wait for the text to show up on the screen. It's driving me crazy. Can someone tell me how to fix this issue? Thanks!

Make sure you have nothing else running. Clear resources with task manager.

I tried all of those things and it might work ok for a couple of minutes and then starts again. It only seems to do it when I'm sending a text message. So, could it have something to do with GC Arcsoft MMS 5.0.31.25? Is there a later version? Or, maybe I have a currupted version or something? Thanks.

Not sure. I notice this sometimes as well. I know Verizon has some keyboard fix on their site. Not sure what that is for. Someone else needs to chime in on that.
Yeah, this is becoming a really big problem for me and even making it almost impossible to use my phone anymore. I'm doing alot of text messages and after a while it's going too slow I can't even do anything without having to turn off the phone. This also seems to be the reason why I'm having problems sending the MMS messages. When this problem happens they can't recieve the MMS messages, but after I turn off the phone and turn it back on it works.
I noticed something else that's happening. Before I turn off the phone I go into Settings, System and then Task Manager to close any applications that are running. But one of the Task Manager Icons dissappears when this problem happens. There is two Task Managers. As soon as I turn my phone off and on again the other Task Manager icon that has dissappeared appears again. Is that helpful at all?
So, this problem is causing problems with my phone slowing down and causing a huge delay in typing, preventing me from sending MMS messages and making icons dissappear in the Settings. Anybody have any ideas? Thanks...

I'm not sure it's a problem with your phone, I think it's meant to do that . I don't know if there's a mod out there to stop it though...
It's definitely meant to do that
damn then i have to hope that a mod will be released
Turn the phone off?
I think you should request a dev to do that as I think it will never be made as your phone should really do that. I'm not sure if there's even a phone which will not turn on its screen when a sms is received.

Coming from htc phones all this while..this screen turning on when recieving sms/mms/email is really annoying..hopefully someone can cook something to totally prevent this. I guess samsung designed it thia way due to lack of notification led.

on my nexus one, the screen will not turn on when an sms is received. but i can turn this option on if i want so that the screen DOES turn on with an sms. its all about choice. maybe you guys could try handcent, and root and remove the stock messaging app to stop this.
i've just noticed that my phone has started doing this too.
i have sms popup installed and the default sms notification is turned off therefore sms popup should handle the sms notifications.
i have "leave the screen switched off" set in sms popup but the screen still turns on.
this is also happening with the exchange client and i think it might have started since KE7 ...
any ideas ?
last night i hit the camera app by accident, when i backed out of it the screen flashed and so did the flash on the back(no pic was taken) now everytime someone calls wither i answer with bluetooth or the phone they cant hear me. i either have to reset the phone or call them back..has anyone experienced this issue?
The problem stays even after a reboot? Are you still using the stock rom?
Hi guys. I have a peculiar problem in my new Galaxy S3. Whenever I make a call, the screen remains on even though I have ticked the 'Auto screen off during calls' option in call settings. Also, whenever I input any numbers while in a call, the keypad does not hide. I mean I get the 'Hide' option but it doesn't do anything and the keypad stays on the display. Can anyone tell me if this is a known issue or am I the only one facing it? Is there any workaround this? I am on stock firmware (XXLF2) and haven't even rooted my phone yet. Please help me guys!
I have exactly the same problem. I know the proximity sensor works, because I tried the proximity sensor test app. But my phone does not turn off screen when in call.
i have same problem any one help us ?
I also have this problem.. and to make it worse, I can't seem to call out occasionally. I swipe to call, but nothing happens. I can't even dial out at times.. rebooting usually solves the issue, but the problem quickly comes back.
I'm not rooted, on stock rom. Anyone know what the issue is?
OK, it looks like for me, it was a conflict between Google Voice and the phone. Turning it off/disabling it fixes the problems I've been having. I'll have to see what exactly is causing the conflict, but at least everything works with it off.

Where exactly is the option for turning off Google Voice?
I looked in Applications All but couldn't find it.

Check under 'Voice', not Google voice. It's also an option on the Voice widget.
If that doesn't fix it, try rebooting and doing it again.

'Voice' was my search pattern. It's got to be there I'll find it.
Hi guys,
Did you find a solution to this problem yet? I have the same problem, and no matter what I do, I can not make it work. The screen is always on during a call. I am using the stock rom, without root, as it is.

Nevermind. I fixed it by removing FSC ID, apparently it was interfering.
i had the same problem but it was fixed after i made a phone restart.
I have the same problem...
Has anyone experienced problems with GV notifications? I don't get them while my phone is off, but as soon as I wake it up, the notifications appear. Any suggestions?
You may have power saver mode on and have selected shut data off when screen is off. I unchecked that and it worked fine for me. I'm just saying that happened to me. May not be whats happening to you.

Seems to be an issue with many people. Deleted text and voicemails somehow show up in your inbox. When I long press to delete them it actually gives me the option to "undelete". Not sure what is going on.
