Home keys dissapear?

Not sure if this has been brought up or not yet, but im curious to see if anyone is running into a similar issue, and what they did to solve it ...
Randomly, its only happened to me 3 times thus far, my back, home, and windows key do not show up. Everything else works, i just cant close out of apps or anything like that.
Any suggestions, ultimately I just power cycle, however if someone has an easier fix Id like to use that.

Sometimes they minimize to little glowing dots and just click them to open them up. Sorry if that's not it.

My completely vanish from time to time and what ever app im in goes full screen. That is followed by a pop-up stating the the System UI has stopped.. I just keep clicking on OK and then after a few mins it goes away.

Bottom Haptic Buttons Unresponsive

Hello. My haptic buttons (4 bottom touch buttons) are sometimes unresponsive. Sometimes when i'm using the browser I'll get stuck in it for a few seconds. And often after unlocking the phone they are also unresponsive. I just move my fender around the screen to make it come back. It's not a big issue but it is annoying.
Is there a fix? thanks!
running super galaxy 1.5 rom

Ive had it a few times when i start the phone back up in the morning, only seems to happen to me when in not usung it, i believe i read somewhere that this was an ics issue...ive found somewhat of a fix by going to settings/display and setting hardkeys to always on....drains a bit more battery but your problem will happen so rarely afterwards itll become a non issue..hope that helps! If it did, flash my rom and visit my thread!!!!

I've had this on ICS on occasion as well, after waking the phone up. I do the same thing - move my finger around to get them to come on.

I can't find hardkeys always on options. can be it same as tough key light always on?

This isn't an ICS issue. It happens on custom AND stock GB as well.
Often, you can make them responsive again by hitting one of the volume keys, too.
I doubt its a hardware issue... It must be a driver issue.

[Q] Annoying BUGS

Sprint Version, OTA update on launch day.
Bug 1: Continually goes into "Car Mode". I'm not sure if it is somehow related to the holster I'm using or what, but I pull my phone out at least 20-30 times a day and it's in car mode. It becomes super annoying when you answer a call and it immediately goes to speaker phone. I tried "force stopping" this app, but that didn't work. Next step is to freeze it, but come on...I shouldn't have to do that. Weirdest bug I've ever seen. Anyone have insight about some auto-Car mode or pushing certain buttons turns it on automatically??? Weird.
Bug 2: When typing in the texting app (only place I've observed it). I'll get a few words in, then randomly, the cursor goes back to the beginning. It's been happening pretty consistently and I even noticed it on the demo model at the Sprint store (thought I had hit an arrow or something). This happens ~3-5 times per day and annoys the hell out of me.
Other than these, this phone is a BEAST. Super fast and beautiful screen. I'm missing CM10 and will definitely root/flash when the bootloader is cracked.
Anyone else notice bugs similar to these?

Those are ROM bugs. I think they will be fixed after JB 4.1.1 update in December

For the curser thing. Try Swiftkey. You'll absolutely love it, plus it fixes the keyboard curser issue

Thanks for the replies...
Bug 1: This is due to the magnet in the flap of my holster. I'm not a holster guy at all, but at work it's a must since I wear scrubs all day. I can reproduce the Car Mode by placing the phone close to the flap magnet. Makes me think they're going to have Car Mount accessories that will have a magnet and automatically turn Car Mode on when mounted. Also makes me think I need a different holster because my phone thinks it's in the care and I can't shut the damn Car Mode off (yet). Sigh.
Bug 2: It's not the keyboard. I know and like swiftkey, but like the stock android keyboard even more. I installed the AOSP 4.2 Keyboard 10 minutes after getting the phone. The bug lies in the Messaging app. I'm now running GO SMS without any issues....buuuuuttttt....I shouldn't need to do that to sidestep an annoyance in such a critical and basic app. Who the hell is testing these things and lets them out the door with even the slightest flaw in either the phone or SMS apps???
I'm missing my AOSP more and more. I love the phone and the hardware is quite impressive, but if this device doesn't get cracked and CM10 or 10.1 soon, I'll be swapping it out.

the only bug I've seen on this phone so far is that sometimes spell check does not work in the messaging app and then sometimes it does. (Spell check as in when it underlines an incorrectly spelled word in red)

I have noticed the bug #2 as well within the messaging app. Pretty annoying.

Ditto on the keyboard bug. Doesn't happen often enough to me to make me wanna change phones though...

I'm with you guys on the keyboard bug...as crazy as it sounds, I'm playing with the idea that this has to do with tilting gestures...I'm having a little success repeating the bug this way. I'll repost if I confirm this.

Dont have the keyboarding issue.
But i do occasionally have the Car Mode. bug I need this 4.1.1 update asap

Any fixes for Bug 2? My boyfriend & I got the same phone at the same time, and mine does this, his doesn't. I also think it has something to do with the tilt sensor. I'd appreciate any input if someone knows the cause. Thanks!

For 2, I use another messaging app and swift key flow and it doesn't do it anymore. Go SMS or the jelly bean app

I can confirm bug 2 when using SwiftKey 3 on the stock messaging app and especially when typing comments in websites.

the texting bugg has completely gotten annoying for me.. Cant type a full message without the arrow going back to the first word.

Use a different keyboard.
I use Swype but Swiftkey should work too. It is not the messaging app or the Rom.

The software definitely has bugs. But the only only one I can do without is this damn SMS bug.

I too believe it's the keyboard and the placement of it's keys. Using 4.2 keyboard and no problems. Just a taste of some AOSP to come. Hopefully (crossing fingers)

Has there been any official word when we are supposed to receive the update? I know it rolled out in Korea last month.

Anyone ever notice that the responsiveness of the touchscreen sometimes goes away? It will get sluggish and just plain unresponsive?
Happened to me this morning as I was scrolling through FB. Restarted the phone and it was fine.

Will try the Swiftkey because the swipe is not accurate in the stock ROM either, LG QC must be asleep because i noticed these the first day!!
Love the hardware too much but if the update does not come in 14 Days I will downgrade to the GIII.

hardware keys acting up all a sudden

Hey all. So the past few days I noticed that my Menu button on my S3 ATT has been showing the Google Now search. Additionally when pressing home often time it goes to the Multi Task window. These are settings I set for the 'long press'. I should note Im running CM 10.1 latest nightly and Nova Launcher (if it matters).
I figured this was a CM issue so I went to a 1 week old nightly but the same. Im not worried this may be something to do with the hardware buttons themselves. Really hoping its a software thing
Anyhow I appreciate any help on the subject or things I can try
Thanks!

Its worth adding that when I upgrade the nightly, then the buttons seem to work for at least a few hours. Im not sure if a simple reboot would also have this effect however I plan to monitor that when it starts acting up again and let you all know
Seems very odd to me that it works fine for awhile then gets worse and worse throughout the day
Thanks

I think what you're experiencing is a long button press bug. CM10.1 has a known issue of registering a long press (especially for hardware keys) even when you quickly tap.
So if I had to guess I'd say your phone is fine and it is CM10.1,

I should add this happens on my menu button too. It hasnt happened on my back button but I also have nothing on my Long Press for the back button.

do you know if this is something that affects everyone on a galaxy s3, just some phones or all phones on cm10.1? i've been running cm10.1 on my d2vzw and generally stay on top of all the development related postings but see hardly any mentions of the topic. i realize it's not a huge bug as a simple restart will fix it but it certainly is annoying.
first post, btw :cyclops:

I havent seen mention of this before but I am not on the forums all that much.
Quick update - after flashing to latest nightly, its been nearly 24hrs without issue. Hope it stays this way

Update 2 - Yes, rebooting the phone does fix this. Last time I went 3 days before it began to act up. Rebooted and good as new. Kinda annoying but not the end of the world

Screen stops working randomly

I was just wondering if this happens to anyone else. So sometimes I go to unlock and the screen doesn't let me do anything, it happens not just when unlocking but when I'm using the phone too, it's really annoying when I'm trying to text someone back or try to answer a call. It doesn't happen all the time so I could live with it....but I'm wondering if anyone has a fix or has the same problem.
Also I have my phone rooted and g3 tweaksbox, and I turned off the knock in code..I don't know if any of these have factors.

Is it lag? Does it only happen for a few seconds before it starts again?

It's not lag..I don't think unless it's a really long lag ?... I turn my screen on and off and it would still be frozen. Maybe after a few mins of turning the screen off and on again it will work...

Sounds faulty i think.I'd get the phone freezing for a few seconds before it responded, but that was lag.

Aww man that would suck if it was... That's the only problem I have!

i had this problem..it would lock up..freeze and i had to wait for a min or so to come back to life..a hard reset fixed it

Oh okay! That is good to know...I guess I'll be trying that soon

I have the same issue as well.
It's not that the screen "stopped" working. It works, except there's no update on the screen. As if the entire phone is frozen, but it's still giving me haptic feedbacks. Except, actions aren't being reflected on the UI; things like, tapping home navbar button, doesn't take me to the launcher, tapping up/back doesn't take me to the previous screen. I can lock/unlock the phone, but I'd return to the whatever page of the app that corresponds to the back/up command I previously made.
I think, the easiest way I can summarize this is that the OS stopped doing visual updates, while there's actually stuff going on despite that "stuck" screen.
