Screen waking intermittently? Since jellybean - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey guys I got a quick question, my gf phone was just updated to jb its bone stock she got it for Christmas. She's been noticing ever since that the screen turns on intermittently throughout the day/ night. I'm wondering if anybody else has run into this same issue? What did you try to fix it if there is a fix? I'm thinking I might boot into the stock recovery and clear cache before getting any deeper. Thanks for your reply have fun!

I am having that issue along with this one.
My screen does not turn off after a few seconds of inactivity like it used to do. it just stays on. Does anyone have that issue?

Hmm I guess it doesn't happen to anybody else?

5 vibration diagnostic code

So lately I've been getting the 5 vibration code and I've been searching around here and on other forums and no one seems to know what causes it. Has anyone else that's been experiencing this noticed that it seems to go away after a battery pull and then letting the phone cool down? I'm rooted with unrevoked running cm7 rc2 with Chad's newest kernel right now and tried running cm7 with the included kernel and experienced the same issue.
My main concern is whether to ruu and whether thats going to fix it or if it's simply a hardware issue

I have it too. Can you boot your phone up like normal after a little while? Everyone else on this forum who gets this can't do jack with their phone. I can boot up fine afterwards, it's just extremely annoying.
It's a code for some kind of hardware failure and they all had to get a new phone. I've been told a RUU may fix everything, but that's a semi-long process for someone as ADD as me to go through. You could try it though. And if you do, shoot me a PM with the results.
Yeah that's exactly what mine does, It'll boot right away and I usually only run into the issue when I'm playing a game for more than five minutes or using my phone in a warm environment. It seems to hit 100° F and then stops itself from overheating.
I was really hoping to not have to Ruu, because its such a process and I don't want to lose the gingerbread keyboard. Maybe someone else will chime in with another idea.

So far you and I are the only 2 I know about in the internet who can still boot up like normal afterwards.
I wiped dalvik last night and I haven't had the issue today, you might give that a try. It can't hurt.

Ill try that today. I initially thought it was the battery overheating but it did it with the stock 1300 and its doing it with the evo battery I'm using now. Ill finish setting up adb and try the ruu next week when I get time.

This just in, rebooted while playing star wars podracing on n64oid.
I think it is a heat issue, cuz my phone is always pretty warm when it happens.
-CM7 ADR6300
I've read about this in a lot of forums lately. But it seems like it only comes up with cm7. You guys sure its not rom related?

Also had it on OMFGB, though not as frequently.
Also, today I've noticed my haptic feedback has been... varied in vibration intensity.

I have an Ruu that you just place on the root of your SD and flash through hboot no adb needed if you want it pm me..... and ill give you the file and instructions

Well I broke down tried the RUU and that went through fine but I cant seem to replicate the error with stock. I tried gaming for about 20 minutes and it didnt do it yet, normally it does it after like 5
Good to know.
Have you gone back to CM7 and seen if it helps out there?
-CM7 ADR6300
No I havent tried rerooting yet and reinstalling cm7 It keeps doing it only now it gets stuck in a boot loop instead of doing the five vibration thing then it boot loops about 3-5 times till it cools itself down then restarts normally like nothing ever happened
I already talked to verizon and the new ones in the mail so theres really no sense messing with it anymore now i just need to decide if i want to root the next phone or not
That's what's happening to mine now, too... I also couldn't root it? Unrevoked kept failing. Oh well. I'm selling it and migrating to a Thunderbolt.

What version of ClockWorkMod are you running? I read some problems with flashing CM7 caused by CWM 3.0.0.8 that was fixed by going to 3.0.0.7

Yeah, you've got that right !!!!
When it happened to me I couldn't do a damn thing except get into clockwork Mod, which didn't help because I couldn't access the sdcard. I called up verizon and got a new one. For the two of you that actually have a working phone after this is your phone S-ON or S-OFF?

100F is nothing for these processors. Think about it, your body is 98F and a processor is meant to handle a lot more heat than your body. I know the TI OMAP in the original droid had a failure point of 220F.

Nope, not rom related since it happened to me when I was using Incredibly Re-Engineered v2.3 and flashing a custom kernel when it happened.
Mine remained rooted ans s-off throughout the issue.
I unrooted and applied s-on and reverted to the November RUU and it fixed everything.
Rerooted and reapplied s-off a few hours ago and flashed Virtuous. No more CM7 for me. That's when I started having issues.
Mine does the same thing. Vibrates once, turns off, vibrates 5 times and the LED blinks green. I think mine is related to an overheating issue. Mine reboots almost always when im plugged into the car charger, talking on the phone over bluetooth on my way to work. About a 35-45 minute commute. Even when plugged in at home, and while messing with the settings as well. The only thing that is almost always the same is the screen brightness. Thats when it gets super warm and then turns off. I'll try it out with the screen brightness settings to lower then usual. But when I let it cool off, like I do in the car in front of the A/C vent for about 30 seconds,, with the battery out of the device, it comes right back on no problems.
Mine was rooted and s off. I believe I installed cm7 using clockwork 3.0.0.7 then upgraded to 8 and still had the issue. I know 100°f is nothing for a processor but it seemed to have issues as soon as it got around 110 then if you let it sit it works again so that's what led me to thinking it was a heat issue even though it doesn't make much sense

[Q] Vibrating randomly

Htc Evo running koni's elite series III and it started great but now the battery life is terrible and i think it has something to do with the phone randomly vibrating all the time. its actually my girlfriends phone and she won't let me reflash it (if this is even the fix) because she doesn't want to lose her tapfish. solutions? anyone else having this problem?
make a backup of tapfish, then flash another rom?
can't find anything on random vibrate draining battery
Im sure that's not the real reason she wont let you wipe it.

I didn't have this problem after I installed Triune II, but if you suspect the ROM is related, do a backup and install a different ROM to see if that resolves the problem..... just a thought and takes less than 5-10 min.
What does the screen look like in download mode or in CWM?

here is my phone's information...
Phone Reboots
I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S3 running the latest nightly of CM 10.2. I have been constantly updating the nightlies and several times I have factory reset (wiped the cache, delvik cache, the system, data, internal storage, and reformatted everything) my phone and it is still constantly rebooting. I cannot figure out what is causing it either.
i dont think its the roms because i've tried so many CM 1.3 STABLE , CM 10.2 amongst other roms and still getting the reboots..{Feeling frustrated}

I'm going to try a stable CM 10.1 and see if it reboots.
Couldn't flash a stable version of 10.1. I wiped the cache, system, and delvik cache, then flashed the rom, but it wouldn't boot. It just stayed on the Cyanogenmod boot up screen.
Its the same thing, i've tried the stable version(CM 1.3) already and it's the same thing...
And if your stuck on cm boot screen simply reboot back to recovery mode and wipe cache and reboot system and it shud boot up normally...

Well let me know if you figure anything out. It's getting really annoying. I don't know if it's a Cyanogenmod thing or what. I'm really happy with CM when it works and it's been great for me on other devices in the past.

I had the power button issue and sent it into Samsung to be fixed 2 weeks ago. I have had the phone since July 2012 and it was still under warranty. Try lightly wiping your hand across the button and if the phone reacts that's the problem or if it reboots a lot when you are using the button often. Taking the case off seemed to help a little. It was a free repair and they had it back in 6 business days.

XDA Premium 4 app

Has anyone one else been having trouble with the XDA Premium or even the free app? Mine have been becoming increasingly hard to deal with. Not connecting, full of lag etc. I thought it may have been AdFree and reverted my host file but that hasn't helped so I guess it's something else. Tapatalk seems to be messed up too. Just wondering if it's just me or if there is something else going on.
Tapatalk Premium is working fine for me at the moment.

Yeah honestly the xda app has always been kinda bad because they take the tapatalk app and then restrict it to one forum which they don't really do properly.
I'm still using the older xda app and it's very picky about where I can click and stuff. Not that this helps the question in the OP in any way haha.
I've been looking for some kind of alternative but so far I haven't found anything I like.
I didnt even know there was an app I never looked
XDA servers? Both tapatalk and xda apps giving me fits. Thought it was my wifi cause turning off wifi will *sometimes* help get a connection to the server. Wifi always work for internet. Have no problems accessing other forums with tapatalk?

A while back I was having issues with both Tapatalk, and XDA Premium. Lag, crashes, and random freezes. The only thing that solved it was un installing both. Booting into Recovery, wiping caches, and rebooting. Then I installed both apps again fresh. That seemed to resolve it for me.
