Asking for advice - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys ,
I had my S3 but after a while the touch screen got lag and seems to not response until I press the power button to lock the phone then unlock it so it works normal again (touchscreen I mean ) but the problem shows up again in few minutes or hours or days ..
I tried to change the rom (CM11, Blisspop , back to n00t ) but with no changing
Is this a hardware problem ?? Or u wanna say something ??:thumbup::thumbup:

Wipe and flash stock rom to test.

The problem started with my 4.3 stock rom .
Note : the problem repeats more frequently when the phone heats when i use Facebook for example..

Boot into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik cache and fix permissions. If that doesn't help, download BetterBatteryStats and see if apps are causing kernel wakelocks (not letting your phone go into deep sleep) meaning keeping it awake and using CPU.

Without any other information this history information is absolutely useless. If there is any problem at all you can solve it by doing what themadba suggested in post #3.

The battery history you posted is plain useless.
However, if you have autosync enabled, then disable it

touchscreen sgs 2 problem

Hey, I just bought a samsung i9100 from a network company(orange) with the ics 4.0.4 version on it. Sometimes my screen doesn't work, i mean i'm typing and it doesn't respons but after i turn the phone in lock screen (1 time on power button) it works again. Oh, also it move by itself and if i type on contacts for exaple it execute my command and do one extra touch on some porson from my contacts. I'm convinced that it's a software problem but may i'm thinking wrong?

Must be the touch driver crashing....
*clean your screen, fluids tend to crash touch driver and like you mentioned locking, wiping the screen and unlocking will get it working.
If that doesn't work
*maybe it's because of some app you use crashing/colliding check and see you may might have to try un installing the apps which you installed or updated when the problem started to occur.
*if above two failed try performing a factory reset might help .
*finally flashing a new stock firmware will correct the problem if all above methods failed.

Well.....I think you have just found the answer to your question
Remove it and see if it's all good. If not, returning time it is, don't even bother go flashing firmwares. It's a brand new phone.
Good morning. Guys i was thinking that my screen protection isn't a problem because if i lock the screen and i open it again all works. And sometimes when i'm typeing a text message or i'm on browser it seems to type by itself and i'm looking scared .
p.s : i flashed a new stock rom(4.0.3) , i wiped it and i did all i could. the problem is still there.

Well 1st of all remove ALL the apps you're using to get those info I mean ALL those apps, they drain your battery, since you can't close any of the following you mentioned in the title.. Use greenify and juice defender ONLY... and give it 2-3 days and run 5-6 battery cycles and it'll be far more better
Also remove the duplicate apps... Ex: kakao and viber works the same way :/ also auto sync, turn it off OR sync ONLY the important stuff

And also turn gps off when it not needed..
And same to data connection.
You will feel the difference in battery life...
Sent from my HTC X using xda app-developers app
You probably are having battery problems because of certain apps. If apps are accounting for 90 percent of battery drain then i would uninstall the ones you don't need, and use Greenify to hibernate apps you don't use.
Also turn off data, GPS, Wifi, etc and whatever you don't need so it won't drain the battery. Juice defender can help with that. But I like the quick settings toggles.

Thanks guys .
I did turn off auto syns , gps and unneeded stuff since I got my phone . These apps and settings has been using for 4 or 5 months without any problems . My battery used to last for more than a day .
I didnt change any settings or download any new apps before the problem happened .
And as you can see , the suckers are system , kernel , and sometime media sucked more than 40% ???
And my phone wad keept awake all the time :-s ??

Even if your kernel system and media sacked your battery you can't do anything bout it cuz closing them is like breaking your Rom so delete the other stuff

Use Hellium backup,
My backup pro,
Titanium backup to backup all your data include sms. Logs, apps, etc,....
And than try supersense 1.4 .
According to me it has all features working that you want...

For SMS backup, use SMS Backup Plus. You can find it on the Play Store for free. It backs it up on your Gmail and restores it to your phone.
For App backup, use "mybackup root". You can backup your apps and app data.
You can also use titanium backup or Rom toolbox, but I recommend MyBackupRoot because it's easier for normal people to use.
Guess I have to do the hard reset to.see what's gonna happened though ..
If it is no luck , can you recoment any room that works good with bluetooth headset ?
@ Afnan : I think I saw another post of yours about the custom room must be matched with the specific kernel but I cant find it now . Can you say it one more time please ?

Try Energy Rom or my Super Sense 1.4.
I think Chevy and I were able to fix everything except Wi-Fi calling. So I think you should be good!
On Energy, stuff is working fine but it's old.
The best way is to try out all ROMS and find one you like.
On the other note, I don't remember saying something about a specific kernel with a custom ROM, but it doesn't mater anyway now, Super Sense 1.4 is using the latest Stock HTC kernel from the newest OTA.
Hello , I just flashed the super sense . It's really good work . But I feel.it a little laggy though . May be it because it's setting up stuff .
I will.wait and see if the problem.is till.there .
Anyway , I use to remap my search button become my power button ( key 217 ) . But I cant do it now , can you help me about this too , Afnan ?

There's a thread in the apps section I think that will remap your button!
There's a file in usr/keyboard folder that you can edit and it remaps your buttons!
You can also look for an app called button mapper. It works!

Sorry if I'm late. Yeah try Chevy's suggestion.
And it's laggy because you just set it up.

Try resetting system cache.. follow the below steps.
Turn off the phone.
Press and hold Volume UP + Home + Power buttons.
When the Android System Recovery screen appears, release the Volume Up and Home keys.
In the recovery menu, navigate to ‘’wipe cache partition’’ with the volume buttons.
Press power button to confirm.
Once this is done, select reboot system now.

Thanks for the update. This exactly same thing happens with my note 3 neo. I also use S-View Cover. And whenever I keep the phone idle for some time and open cover, there is restart. I haven't observed this restart in any other scenario.!!
I also cleaned cache and uninstalled many applications, kept only few apps which are necessary, so far it didn't restart let me keep testing it!!
I also checked on the net and found that many Note 3 (Not Neo) users have reported similar issues, they talk about many solutions, but not sure if they will really work on Neo 3.
Will post if don't observe any restart after this.

Turn off phone. Press Vol up + Home Button + Lock Key together until you see recovery (You will know ehen you see it)
In Recovery, wipe cache partition and reboot. Check if that helped

Pressing Power button reboots phone randomly

I am facing serious issue that my phone reboots frequently when I press power button to unlock the screen. I had this problem after upgrading to kk4.4.4. I thought it will be resolved in the new update. But now in lollipop also am facing the issue. Now my device is not rooted and only installed WhatsApp, Facebook, telegram, clash of clans and XDA. Stock recovery with lollipop 5.0.2
Rebooting is more in lollipop than KitKat. Is it software problem or hardware problem?
Please help.

Lol doing so will be useless and a good feelings killer, this is a hardware issue, hence it can be seen in kitkat and lollipop and also will be seen in all future updates.
I used to face the same issue as you.
The fix:
Settings -> Security -> Uncheck "Power button instantly locks"
Set Automatically lock to - 5 seconds after sleep.
I tried it already. But no use...
Sent from my XT1022 using XDA Free mobile app
You could try reflashing stock ROM and try using the stock launcher instead of Nova launcher or any other custom launchers and check if the reboots persists.
I have stock ROM and recovery. Had installed google launcher and removed it. No luck.
