Hello everyone, I have a problem with my GSIII but I'm not sure if its worth the effort or time to trade it in, or if they will even allow me. Whenever I press the hone button towards the right side of it, it gets stuck and then eventually pop us back up its really annoying. But should I trade it in for a new one??

Don't really understand the issue you're having but you should try flashing a new rom first.. I wicked v4 is good.

You really didn't understand the question lol. it has nothing to do with the software the phone. His home button sticks when you press is it down, but only when you press it on the right hand side of the home button. And to the OP if that was my phone I would exchange it, as long as you didn't spill anything on it then it's a manufacture defect that would irritate the hell outta me.

So a few times a day my phone will start bugging out, vibrating and the same menu that would pop up if you pressed the menu button would come up. I find it pretty weird, I can't reproduce it but it comes and goes.

This kinda sucks because I have a feeling it's a hardware issue, I'm over my 14 days and I'm scared that I might get a phone with LOS. Damn I thought I almost got away with a problem free epic.......

Same is happening to me, I made a thread about it and no help, might be a hardware issue.

tonight mine freaked out a little bit but not exactly the same as yours. My phone appeared to freeze up for a few seconds and then anytime I pressed any of the capacitive buttons the voice talk app would say "what would you like to do?" I had to reboot it to get it to stop.

I Google's it a bit and it looks like others have this issue as well. It used to only happen once a day but lately it's more often. Issue seems to be getting worse. I know for sure tho when I bring it to sprint it won't happen at all and I'll have to argue with them.

sorry for ressurecting an old thread. but anyone with a fix for this? i swear this hasnt happened untill like my 15th day lol..

Well front desk girl almost ate this phone.... I felt kinda bad abt it afterwards.. Repair guy stayed behind the glass window... So after some pressure, they decided it was a hardware issue with the touch screen, an replaced the phone.

Yea, I get this issue every now and then. Some of the ROMs give me less frequency, but it always seems to happen again.

congrats on getting a replacement. unfortunately, im outside my 14- and 30-day period so i suppose im stuck with this issue
anyone with any more info on this? Mine starting doing this recently.
Factory Reset was a no fix.
This started happen to me too, my home button gets "stuck" when i press the power it would take a screen shot. I hope its not a hardware issue, i really baby my phone. I am calk rom 2.0. Also i belive samsungs warrenty should cover it for free.

Damn, that doesn't sound right. I wouldn't wait if it happens anymore. If you don't have insurance, will they charge the $100 deductible?

My phone was bought off Craigslist and I can't afford a new phone my hardware power button got conductive oil inside of it now whenever pressed it acts like. Held and hard restarts, I found an app called any unlock or something like that on the market my problem is when my phone sleeps it kills the process and I cant wake it is there a Dev who can help me make this program start in foreground I read about it but am clueless so I could really use help also if anyone knows where I can order the hardware button part that would be killer cause I could pay a shop to do the circuit soldering, I use this as my work phone and am worried I as I need to invest 500 into tools for work this month and can't afford repair, also my phone is on boost so there is no warranty, I can not take it to sprint, thank you

If you use CM9 you can set the volume buttons to wake the phone up. Could be a temporary fix for your problem.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
That sounds good but with it is now I'm not sure I can get it into download or recovery, I can't remember the buttons off the top of my head, but if I can that sounds like a good temp solution, thanks ... do you know if there is a one click Odin for that and if I can just flash it over stock rooted el29 also if its ice based apn settings are an issue for me I need to be able to change them to boost mobiles, I contacted a store that does button soldering and replacement so I may give that a shot on Friday

Of couse it won't, no app would because OS is frozen. Your question asked how to soft reboot. Did not mention frozen phone...

Yea that did work for the GS3 no matter what the phone was under. Frozen, Aroma Freeze, Recovery, App crashes. No matter what on the GS3 if you held the power button down it would reboot the phone. If you were in recovery and it froze during an installation all you had to do was hold the power down and it would just reboot back to the recovery. But on this phone for some reason or another you cant.
Sick of this community, no matter what someone has to bash on someone else's queston. Peoples internet mentality is just rude plain and simple.
Hopefully I answered you, I still have not been able to locate which combinations of buttons that allows us to, but if I do i'll PM you just incase someone else's butt gets hurt.

What I found was the kernel I was using. I changed over and it good now

Okay, So I bought a used Note 2 off of Craigslist. Before I bought it I used it, checked the settings, it was 4.2.1 had multiwindow and so I thought, let me check my SIM card. I put my SIM card in and let the phone boot up. I saw the 4G LTE and I thought I was good. When it came to price I haggled a little but I told the seller how much I was willing to pay before he agreed to meet. Anyways, he seemed sore but took the deal. I get in my truck and leave. I go to unlock the phone and it has a passcode. I call the guy, no answer. I got a text back stating sorry. So because he felt ripped off I can't get in to the phone. Any suggestions?
Factory reset

4.2.1 doesn't have multi window

Shut phone down. Then hold volume up + home button + power button until you get to the recovery screen. Then select factory reset using the volume rocker and power button. Reboot and you should be good to go.

It might not be stolen now, just hope the guy isn't a real jerk and reports the phone stolen afterwards.

Well the phone is registered to me now, according to AT&T. Hopefully he can't report it stolen now. I also meant 4.1.2, my mistake. Only thing is, before I spoke to AT&T I rooted it via odin. Now I can't get the latest update the phone keeps telling me about from AT&T. Is it important?

Actually you are wrong seeing as a note 2 on 4.2.1 would not be running touchwiz and not have multiwindow available.

Hey guys, I'm having an issue where when the phone vibrates, there is a high frequency rattle that comes with it. I am wondering if this is just the nature of the phone or theres something wrong with it. Care to share anybody?
Other than that, this phone is amazing!

That's fortunate for you. I plan on keeping mine for awhile though.
I feel it might be on all devices. When I shake the device, I can hear, I think, the auto focus shaking. The rattling might be a product of the auto focus shaking with the phone which is okay with me. I just dont want it to be loose pieces bouncing around in my phone.

Any word on the visit to T-Mobile? My phone vibration has seemed to majorly decrease in strength.
No issues with anything here. Loving this phone! Best phone ever!
