Hi... I am facing the same problem with my Galaxy SII I9100
Is there any solution for this?

If you give more Information Such as your current ROM, Modem and APPS which you are using .. it will help to find out reason for the same.

It happened to me, I think its when the phone get disconnected from the network (not the wifi).

hey, my galaxy s2 keeps lighting up from idle as well. stock ics installed from the phone directly and using apex launcher. problem persists even in stock launcher. help

Yep having the same problem. It's very frustrating. Screen seems to wake up randomly

It doesn't sound that great to me. If a reflash didn't work, why don't you try an different rom. Just to rule out a rom error.

I have the same problem as mlovesu...I have done a complete wipe everytime i flashed a new ROM..also tried different kernels(siyah 3.2.2 tried latest)...
now have gone back to stock firmware XXLPH and rooted again..the dialer works for now but the proximity sensor still doesnt along with the screen brightness sensor..

SGS3 problem with losing all sounds

Hello,
I bought recently the new SGS3 and after a week or two of using I noticed the phone loses all the sounds despite all of them are turned on and not being on minimum. After a while the sounds get back and everything works fine. At first I thought it might be from the settings because I set up silent mode for all notifications and I thought it may turn all the sounds off, despite it normally shouldn't. After playing for a while with the phone I realized the issue appears randomly without any reasons while I was playing game or simply navigating through the phone. If anyone had experienced the same issue or have an idea what could be the problem (software, hardware, settings, OS, etc) or how it can be solved, please respond. Any answer is appreciated as the problem is quite annoying as I'm missing calls because of it.
Thank you.
Phone details:
Samsung Galaxy S III
Android version - 4.0.4
Baseband version - I9300BOLF1
Kernel version - 3.0.15-782020
Build number - IMM76D.I9300XXBLFB
P.S. Restart of the phone doesn't help as I already tried it. The issues is related to all the sounds not to the vibration, the last works fine.
Backup data and factory reset.

Thank you for your advise JJEgan, unfortunately it didn't help neither. Yesterday I did the factory reset and left it as it is, didn't restore any of my previous settings or apps, didn't install anything additional, just wanted to see if the problem will appear again, and unfortunately it did.
Anything else I can try or I should take it to a service?
Thank you
I have the same problem with notification sounds. The problem appears when i turn off notifications on apk like im+ or Yahoo messenger. Is there any other solution rather than factory rest?

Sleeping and Music

Unsure if this a problem caused by CM 10.1 or android 4.2.2 but using both jellybam and paranoidkangdroid I am unable to put the screen to sleep, the hardware button still works for shutting down just not turning off screen. I also have a hard time getting music to play, requires reboots and shutting down of apollo app, unsure of which of these actually does the trick or if its just luck.
Part of the symtoms include a flashing black screen, what it looks like is a black overlay with part of the status bar still visible. As well as rare random reboots.
Does anyone know if this a problem with the i717 and the most up to date roms or something else.
Help much appreciated thanks.
The only issue I can comment on is Apollo. Mine you have to select the music you want or hit play, wait, hit back when the app freezes and then wait for the pop up saying "Apollo has stopped working". Press Ok and go back into the app and hit play or the song you chose again to get it working. After that the app works amazing! I think it actually is a common problem on 4.2.2 but can't say for sure. The rest, I don't really know what to suggest. Sorry
Best of luck to you

I'm getting this same issue in JellyBAM, PAkangdroid, and CM10.1 M-release (2013-04-11 latest). Re-flashing the ROM in recovery seems to fix it for a while, but I still haven't been able to narrow down a root cause yet.

Camera Issues

So when i open up my camera app the screen in just black and i can see all the buttons on the app. I tried downloading a different camera app and still its just picking up a black screen. Anybody else ever have this issue or know of any possible solutions. Ive already tried restarting the phone...
For Example
Heres what im seeing.
What Rom are you on? Need some details. Best thing to do is revert to stock and see if it works. If it still doesn't...it's a hardware issue and need to get it replaced.

Flashed a new rom issue solved. Thanks!
