Freeze on Screen Lock - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Anyone else have this (I have the Korean SK model, E210S), sometimes it just freezes on the screen lock. Touch screen unresponsive, holding down the power button gets me the menu and then it seems to work. Just tapping the power button (to turn off the screen) doesn't work, home button doesn't work, etc. Never need to reboot, but it is irritating.

Assign power button to wake up screen only

Our LG P500 can wake up screen with any key. It inconvenient for me when I just press any key: home, back, search, menu, the screen auto turn on.
So, are there any way to assign only power button for wake up?
when your phone is locked and you press any key, the screen only lights up for a few seconds. Even if you accidentally press home or search, nothing will happen until you unlock it? There's no reason to have a dedicated button just for waking up the screen.
It's a good idea to save more battery. But no solutions as of now.
Thanks, I'll try to find other solution
MIne turns off sometimes by itself

[Q] Touchscreen stopped working. - solved

I was reading a book and the screen just stopped responding to finger touches, I think a reset might fix it but I can't switch it off. Long press on the off switch gives me the Android power options but of course I can't select any of them.
Any ideas? apart from waiting for the battery to go dead.
/edit solved it, long press of power and center button uintil you see the HP logo. I thought there might be some Android specific way.
For touchscreen not responding, I often just click power button to turn off the screen, then home to wake it up. That seems to fix it more often than not.
Next time you need to reboot, just hold down Home + Power for 10+ seconds

[Q] Home button randomly activates torch?

Running 3 mobiles SII with Foxhound sniper wolf and Siyah kernel 3.2.6.3
Occasionally when I go to unlock my phone with the home button, the torch turns on instead and the screen remains unresponsive. The torch stays on for as long as I hold the button down for, and after a period of responding like this for 10 or so seconds the home button does what it should do again. Using the side lock button gets it out of this most of the time. Any have any ideas why this might be happening ?
TIA

Power Button Unresponsive

Hello to all.
After changing between ROMs the power button on my phone has become unresponsive when trying to lock the screen or switch off the phone.
I installed Spare Parts Plus to set the button to sleep, but it didn't do anything.
The button works when trying to go into recovery, but once in recovery it remains unresponsive though search button works to select items even though the recovery is non touch based.
Can anyone recommend a solution or app I can install to lock the screen?
Thanks.

Screen spazzing out

Today and yesterday I had a weird issue with my v10, as I was playing a game the screen started moving around as if someone had been tapping randomly. I couldn't tap the screen or swipe up to press the home button. When I pressed the power button the fingerprint sensor unlocked the phone again but the phone was still spazzing out. Then I went to the lock screen and tried holding the power button to turn off the phone and the power menu appeared but I couldn't tap anything. After that I pulled the battery and it was fixed. Does anyone know what caused this or how to prevent this form happening again?
