Home and power button not responsive after root ? - T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII

What's up guys. So I rooted my s3 with the qcom toolkit. I noticed that when my phone is asleep, and I try to wake up my phone by pressing the home or power button, its doesn't respond sometimes. I would have to press it couple of times to wake it up. (With obvious reasons I do wait a few seconds to press the home/power button to wake it up). I also noticed that when Im done with a phone call,my screen is black and I can't wake it up. I've had times where I had to pull the battery out. On a side note, my friend with a rooted s3 has these problems occurring as well. In a addition , I'm running paranoid android 2.54 (
Stable). I've also tries liquid smooth to see if it was an issue with the rim,but unfortunately it wasn't. So if anyone noticed this problem after the root please let me know and if you have a solution to this,I'd appreciate it if you can inform me. And sorry if this topic was already covered but I tried searching around and couldn't find anything. Thanks.

It's an issue with paranoid android.
You carried the problem with you to the second flash
Do a wipe.
Reinstall paranoid android.
Or
A diff ROM

I actually fully wiped everything from data,cache, to davik. On both occasions, I fully wiped when I went from paranoid to liquid and back to paranoid.

Root cannot by itself cause problems. The problems you and your friend are having are rom problems. These AOSP roms have bugs. Unable to wake phone is lovingly referred to as the sleep of death.

So from what I've been reading, I have to change the kernel ? I see that it doesn't occur with some people with their stock kernel
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Xparent Blue Tapatalk 2

Every phone is different, some might not even be able to boot after flashing some kernels... You need to play with settings UV and OverClock and such and see what works best for you. There are options for profiles; in call, screen off/on, charging, and so on. You are getting issues that are rom/kernel related for the most part, try to fix it within settings mentioned above and good luck.

Random Reboot Issue

Was wondering if anyone had the same problem as me/a solution..
My T-Mobile S2 randomly reboots itself once a day at least when left idle. Not rooted. Bone stock rom, about 33 user apps installed that never gave me problems on my other phones (Nexus One, HD2)
I read something about SD cards causing the issue, so I formatted mine from the phone and threw it back in, still happening.
I can give a list of my apps if it would help, other than that I did notice one other thing.. I use the google news & weather widget that came with the phone, and I set it not to auto refresh. After it reboots, and I don't have background data on, the widget doesn't load (this is how I know it's actually rebooting if I wake up to it) so maybe it's related to that somehow?
Any input is appreciated.
I have the same issue after I rooted my phone and I install the Juggernaut 2.5

Swipe to call or text

So...does anyone else get this problem?
It is intermittent but very annoying when it happens. When I go to a contact and swipe there name to call them the phone will not call.. it freezes up and then 20 seconds or so later will call.

I had that on complete stock kl1. I used tl swipe over and pver again and then like 20 seconds later it used register all the swipes at once and call like 5 times. Really annoying. I flashed stock deodexed and the problem hasn't happened since.

Don't think replacing the phone will solve it.
Try stock Deoxed or any one of the custom ROMS. I've been running smooth as butter with Vultures 4.1 + Synergy Kernel and getting better batt. life than stock.
Hope that helps.

Why wouldnt replacing the phone solve it? That doesnt make sense.. i never had that problem before rooting and hella-flashing.. it has to be an issue with the phone. (For the record, that doesnt mean i dont recommend flashing a custom rom and kernal!! )

Because sometimes odex files will mess up things if it was your phone. You would have problems swiping left to right for screens. Meaning the digitizer was damage. Just flash a Rom and the problem will go away.

Jb roms here are all having the similar issues.. Either screen flickering or random reboots / sleep of death..

I've been running the aokp since build 1 and i haven't switched back to gb or ics since i think it's a huge difference from both. I like it a lot, it's very smooth, the flicker can be get rid of by choosing a few options in settings like disable hw overlay, which completely gets rid of the flicker for me. I don't use google now but the search works yeah. I get random reboots and either pull the battery or wait a few seconds and then hold down the power button until it restarts, but it doesn't bother me as much it rarely happens at important times, usually it happens after i lock the phone and put it in my pocket. Also it freezes sometimes too but not too often.

I've been using AOKP as a DD for a while now I love it. I would suggest flashing the newest nightly (9-18). It's all about preference with ROMs, I love all the ways to customize AOKP.
It's like I tell everyone though, just flash it and test it out for yourself. Always make a nandroid just incase if you don't like it you can always flash back... no harm no foul. Ever since JB leaks I haven't gone back to anything else.
You won't be disappointed. Just follow the instructions and read up on the threads before posting questions/problems because if you experience an issue chances are other people have as well and there's a fix.
Have fun!!!

Reflash... sometimes these things happen don't sweat it your phone isn't broke. I flashed an earlier build 5 or 6 times until it worked correctly.
If at first you don't succeed.....
I've just switched to ericwill's CM10 build from AOKP due to SOD issues and battery life issues.
No RR or SOD yet and greatly improved battery life so far. Been running for about 18 hours.
As a side note, I much prefer AOKP for its customization, but I'll take stability over customization any day.
Of course, YMMV.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989
I ran CM10 09_17 and AOKP 09_18 got RR on both and SOD on CM10, then i tried Paranoid 2.13(CM10) and its been great!! atm am on 26hrs uptime with no issues.
I've run BinaryBishops, AOKP, CM10, and now Paranoid 2.13 which I've been running around 27-28 hours uptime. Only one I haven't experienced any reboots or sod or any of the like was Binarys' but Paranoid is the smoothest by far. Camera, music, keyboard all super responsive, no lag I've noticed at all. Running stock Trebuchet and haven't gutted it like I normally would, delete what I don't use and the like. Binarys night lies seem to be on hold for whatever reason

Deep sleep issue?

I've had this phone for 3 weeks now from a vibrant, and so far the battery hasn't balanced itself out. I get maybe a full days use out of it. From what I've read that's pretty good for this phone, but I'd like to be able to get consistent use.
I got a little more curious and decided to install cpu spy and discovered the phone isn't deep sleeping. So my question is, is there an app I should look out for that could possibly be running in the background? I've un installed all bloat that came with the phone, turned off sync, etc.
Any ideas? Or any roms that are touchwiz based that are battery friendly?

What apps do you have installed?
You're still on stock, right?
Heck your running processes to see if anything is running that shouldn't be. Also, there is an app called Watchdog (not the data meter) that can be setup to alert you when an all is using more processes than it should be using.
Sent from my SGH-T999
Yeah fully stock before the ota that was sent out.
I have the same apps I had on my vibrant with an extra game or two.
Mainly gapps, dead trigger, light flow, roku, Nike Running, etc.
I read somewhere that light flow was causing issues when the phone was first released, but so far I haven't seen major drain from that app alone. I turned off accessibility in the respect to light flow just to see if maybe that was the issue a d nothing.
Currently it sits right at 384mz. No idea why.

I forgot about that app. Just installed, I'll try this out and see what I can find.
This app should help you determine what exactly is keeping your device awake and preventing deep sleep.
Not sure what it is as this so the first day I have had this issue but it appears my phone has not gone into deep sleep at all today either. Weird.
Sent from my SGH-T999
Hm, just checked my phone, was interested that maybe the app wasn't reading it correctly.
I remember in the Vibrant, some kernels didn't allow apps to read the correct Deep Sleep stats.
Mine is working fine, 84% on deep sleep.
What ROM are you guys running?
I'm on the latest CM10 nightly and lean kernel. Oh well, time to diagnose.

Which rom to use? Jedi issues...

I am currently running jedi rom x10. I was on x11 but was having this weird issue so I reverted back. The issue is still here. When I'm home I always use wifi. If I'm home connected to wifi for awhile and I go out it doesn't allow 3g or HSPA to connect. I have to reboot the phone for it to work again. I'm guessing this is a rom issue? I haven't tried a different rom yet... anyone have suggestions?

I am gonna have to say it probably was a bad download. Even if u did a reflash it probably was not with a fresh download. I have had similar issues and it took a while to get the download right. I always shut off my antivirus in case it wanna get dumb a block a file it thinks it bad. I have been on the rom u are using now and left cause if u try and ask a simple question u sometimes get flamed. It was just a bad experience with a few idiots over their.

In case it helps you, this Samsung Galaxy Note 2 ROMs list is regularly updated.
It's usually updated daily, but I'm preoccupied with immigration and work stuff at the moment. As soon as things settle down, the daily updates will resume.
used Tweaked....best rom i have ever used
solid rom, with all the features of stock phone plus a ton of additional features such as skip tracks with volume and changing the colors of toggles and text, clock etc, asop lockscreen and more
with aroma you can install what you want or remove what you want, ++++
no reboots or freeze and excellent battery

Jedi Master 10 is the best ROM i have used so far.
i have issues with the phone SOMETIMES freezing when i open certain programs. the Quadrant Benchmark Test. It will happen with the CPU Manager. I let it handle the problem like a PC... I wait. The issue seems to have resolved itself after a while. also, some widgets are cut off. like my alarm clock doesn't fully show.
I am currently getting a consistent benchmark score of 7800. the FPS on the test is even at 58 most of the time, sometimes flickering to 59.its the smoothest i've seen this phone run the test
in all honesty. I would run the PAC-man ROM all day, but they seemed to have completely disabled all S-Pen functions (which is half my note 2 use). and i dislike the Android Keyboard. I prefer the Samsung keyboard with the numbers at the top like a laptop. I also do not like the quickness of changing from screen to screen its a snappy ROM with almost no flaws that I can detect
I also like CleanROM, but it has some things about it that turn me away from it. The auto correct function when texting is a bit sloppy. the S-Pen functions and writing don't seem to be as good. the speed of the phone is around 5000 on the benchmark.
if you don't use the S-Pen functions, and don't mind the Android Keyboard, try PAC-man.
