I have put my phone back to stock twice and tried to reflash clock work to see if I could get this issue fixed but nothing seems to get rid of this annoying skipping.
Sometimes if I am going through the clock work menu and I hit vol up or vol down it will move the cursor 2 or 3 positions. I have no idea why it does this...also if i tap up or down really fast i get a "disabled back button" at the bottom and then nothing works when I hit the power button to choose an option.
Anyone else getting this?
everyone gets it. Its just very sensitive to the volume up/down input...take your time and youll get it

But why if you hit up or down to fast it disables the back button?

if your ever playing any games and you accidently hit home or any other button then you know what im talking about. since the buttons are touch sensitive you may get some accidental clicks. i wish there was a way you could lock the bottom row of buttons, not sure if its possible though. maybe by combining two of the physical buttons (such as volume up and down) we could lock the bottom row until we need to use those keys again and then we could unlock in a similar fashion. is there anyway possible someone could develop this?
+1 for this. I like the idea of it being toggled with volume buttons, or maybe long pressing the power button and adding it to that menu. It would have to be included in a rom though, you cant give that power to just any app. or you'll never be able to close it without rebooting.
every time i watch a video a hit the search button by mistake. i really wish someone would do this. also it would be better if you hold volume up and power buttons.
Ya I actually just had it happen again with gvba. Note: it really sucks if you accidently hit the back button. Lock please!

does anyone else's cwm jump 2 spaces at a time when tryin to select in item? its completely random and then sometimes when i press the menu button to select an item the recovery goes to sleep. pressing the menu brings it back up but since i cant use the menu button to select items i have to pull the battery
Strange and how do you get acces to the menu button in recovery mode. Or do you mean the power button.

the power button selects your items. just randomly the power button wont act like the select item button it will act like a power button on another phone where it turns the recovery screen off and you just see the cwm logo sitting there, so i have to battery pull its weird. dont know if i had a bad flahs or what i havent seen anyone else have this problem

when the power button puts the phone to sleep in CWR that means you accidentally disabled the Go Back option. You can cycle through the menu with the up button a few times and you will see a note about the Go Back option being enabled. Going the other way you will get a message about the Go Back option being disabled.
The overly sensitive buttons issue is being worked on. Someone is developing a CWR option that increases the font and greatly improves this situation. I'll try to find it and post back here. I don't think it's up to full speed yet though.
Good luck.
Could be a bad flash or the wrong cwm image. There's a toro and a magure. Make sure you have the right one. I sugest flash again.

First time it happened to me I almost had a stroke. I had just wiped everything(!!) and when I hit the power button and the screen went dark I really thought I had selected reboot without having a rom installed!! Sure was glad it turned out to be something simple.
Weird thing happens when i reboot into recovery, when i try to navigate the menu with the volume rocker one press will up or down will translate to a few button pushes
also, the power button turns the screen off, but only after being in recovery for along time
anyone else experiance this?
edit, when the power button turns the screen off it says "back menu button disabled."
This is a known issue. If you keep scrolling through the menus the back button will become enabled and navigation should return to normal.

thank you!
wondering if anyone is able to modify the Samsung framework so we can have a hardware button combo (ie any combination of volume, home and power) to save a screenshot, rather than the stock implementation of palm swipe across the screen.
I find the palm swipe only works for me once every couple of tries, and can often scroll the exact content on the screen you are trying to capture.
Alternatively, Any app suggestions which can achieve this would also be helpful...
EDIT SOLVED already possible with stock frame work... Press and hold both power and home simultaneously for about half a second, and screenshot is captured.
Press n hold the power and home button together !
Power + Home presssed with correct sync indeed
Hmmm doesn't work for me on omega 4.1.... ?? I see online that this should work as an option... Any setting to enable it?
Edit.... Ok got it push both bottoms simultaneously and hold for half a second. Perfect thanks all.
I would have preferred if they stuck with the volume down+ power button combo like stock Android 4.0
Are you holding them in? I thought it wasn't working at first, turns out you just need to hold them both for about a second and it'll work.
I do prefer the SE way of having the option in the LongPressPower options but hey, I love my S3 more.

Glad I found this. The swipe gesture is frigging useless for anything that scrolls.
OK, so my little 9 year old brother got the Acer Iconia Tablet A100 so he wouldnt feel so left out that everyone else in the household has a tablet but not him, well he thought he would be smart and turn off the wifi and place a lock on it. Well he forgot the lock code and after many attempts he has to login with his google credentials, but the problem is that the wifi is off so it wont fix anything. So im trying to format it for him, I can get to the recovery screen, but only the volume buttons will work and the no other button will let me confirm the selection. Dose anyone know what i can do?

1. Place the rotation lock switch in the up position
2. Press and hold the Volume down button, which is located farthest from the rotation lock
3. With the Volume down button held, press and hold the Power button for 3 seconds then release it. Continue holding the Volume down button.
4. Once the tablet vibrates, switch the rotation lock on and off repeatedly while still holding the Volume down button.
5 Release the Volume down button and stop switching the rotation lock once the "Erasing Userdata..." message appears in the upper left corner of the screen
6. Once the factory reset has been completed your tablet will load to the Welcome screen.
7 Your Factory Data Reset has completed now follow the onscreen steps to setup your tablet.

Hard reset the tablet, you'll lose everything, but it will revert to factory condition.
Power off the tablet
Hold Volume + (the one furthest from the power button/ lock switch, right if holding landscape)
While holding Volume + press and hold the Power button
Once it turns on, holding the Volume +, release Power and wiggle the lock switch up and down a few times.
Screen will then say its formatting or resetting or whatever it says.
After this completes, it may reboot, or power off, or continue booting into android, whatever it does, just let it go into android
It should greet you with the Welcome screen for setup.
Resume playing with it.
Edit: Ah I was gonna link a youtube video but Romman0 beat me to it! I must be getting slow in my old age.
Lol, I just happened to be on.
I was editing a bunch trying to get the [tube] code to work (to no avail) and added text instructions.

Can I do a hard-reset once I have unlocked bootloader & installed a custom recovery? Is there a way to go back to stock recovery?

You can still hard reset yes but it only erases user data nothing else.
If you want to go back to stock use one of the update.zip methods in vaches stock rom thread. It'll go back to stock recovery. If you want just the stock recovery there's a stock recovery.IMG around somewhere I'll see if I can find it.
