Try under menu--> Developer Options and make sure that Show CPU usage is not checked in. Perhaps this will do it.
Try changing launchers? try anything lol.. Under development unchecked it so everything in that sections is grayed out, Maybe you checked something.

Change the Rom and it will go away.

Ok. Can you move the popup around on the homescreen, because it looks like the popout video feature. If so, try tapping it and looking for an 'x' to close. If not, like Eudferrer said, check that cpu usage too. And, I know it sounds remedial, but have you tried a reboot or battery pull? I'll check for other threads and forums similar to your problem.

So I REALLY want to get Ventriloid/Mangler working. It keeps force closing on me. Both apps do the same thing. Before I would connect and be able to talk 1-3 times then the push to talk button would stop functioning and I would have to abandon it and try again later where it would do the same thing. I changed the push to talk button from hold to a toggle and it worked a lot better. However it still force closes ALL the time. If it worked for a little but and then force closed I wouldn't matter as I was gonna use it for short conversations where I need to tell someone something, I really want this app to work. Has anyone been having the same issues?/Found a solution? I'm using stock rom and I rooted it and it still FC's. Halp please.
Sorry for posting again since I haven't received a reply. Am I the only one experiencing these issues?

It is sort of a PTT program but it isn't like tikl. I have downloaded the app and will try it later tonight once I get home to get my vent info and then I will post my results for the OP

I had similar issues when I used them before. I know the big issue is you want to "Force 8kHz Transmit" in the settings. I can't recall if that is enough to solve all the problems, but I know that got me working.
Wanted to give this a little bump.
I can connect to Vent, I can hear everyone and do everything the app is supposed to do, except the push to talk feature will not work. I have even tried to put it on auto but the mic never activated. I tried switching hotkey to a keyboard key and that did not work either, it just will not work
Sorry I Haven't posted that update yet but everythin works fine for me. I didn't mess around with any settings, just put in my vent info and it worked(though there were complaints of me being really loud and a tn of backround noise while I was talking mid raid)

There is nothing wrong in admitting what you exactly did to your phone that now it won't do anything at all.
Hard to believe that just hitting the home button will do that...
Maybe if something else was done, may be albeit a very big maybe, there is something else someone can suggest.
I see an USB jig as your only hope if it truly doesn't go to recovery or download mode.

the Samsung internal should be unrelated. This can generally happen once after a clean install of some roms. Side load what apks? And bluesrulez is right that just a home button wouldn't do it. The processes that calls upon doesn't Bork phones.

ok guys , firstable i have knowledge of rooting/roms/kernels/etc.... ok so this is really strange... i have 2 tmobile samsung galaxy s3(peble blue) one is my gfs and the other one is mine, so last friday we went to a party and we decided to take pics , we both open our phones to take some pics and really weird, the camera wasnt letting me enable the flash, and i coulnt even change the resolution to lower or higher, this was happening to both phones the same issue i coulnt use the flash or many of the settings were disable on the menu, both phones were absolutely having the same issues at the moment. i restart my device and it worked regular for a bit, but my gs's phone still didnt, and she keeps tellin me this keeps happening at nights when she tryes taking pics. ANYONE OUT THERE HAVING THIS SIMILAR ISSUES?
By the way:
Both Phones Are Completely Stock 4.1.1 and never been Rooted Or Nothing like that.. COmpletely stock!!!
Never had that issue. The only time it won't let me use the camera flash is when the battery is super low.
I would recommend doing a full reset if it keeps happening.

go to camera settings and put it to back to default before resetting the device.

Hey all!
I haven't had much to post about my Galaxy SIII (Sprint) before till recently.
Lately I have noticed that the screen locks up. Doesn't really seem to correlate with what I am doing, but it just freezes. Sometimes I get a black screen if I start an app and sometimes it is when I pull down the notifications screen. I have seen this described before but no real suggestions on how to fix my device from freezing several times a day.
Today, The phone icon in my lower tray keeps disappearing.
Also, the phone dialed itself (the last number I called) and froze so I couldn't hang up the call! I had to do a battery pull!
Not sure what is going on with my phone, but it is time to call in the experts.
Could it be that I have some sort of malware? Is there even malware for androids? Do any of the programs work to remove it??
Any suggestions would be really appreciated!
Thanks all
Mike
AVG from Google Play works very well, and it's free, and it doesn't run in the background if you set it up that way. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...e&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=google+play+avg

Are you on a custom ROM, or rooted, do you have custom recovery if so which one? Can't really help you by what you posted. Unless you are downloading 3rd party apps that aren't from the play store its probably not malware. Here is a malware app to run though https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lookout

Yeah. +1 on this 100%. Google screens the majority of apps and they're constantly on the look out to make sure apps arent messing with your phone in a way that they shouldn't.
I've said this many times in many threads and I will say it again here.
The best anti-virus is an observant end-user. Just watch what apps you install and what permissions they ask for (for example a game app doesnt need access to your contacts) and you will be good.
So wait, I shouldn't install this file I found off of Google? It's filename is: "totally_not_a_virus.apk"
Sounds legit to me!
But yeah, to OP, it sounds like you might want to do a clean flash of your room and see if that helps.

Hi everyone,
I am having an odd issue. Regardless of the rom I use, very often when either I make a call or receive a call my screen will go black as soon as I answer it or it connects.
The problem though is, i Can't get the screen to go back on until the call disconnects. If I do get the screen to go on by mashing the buttons, the second I get back to the screen that shows the call it goes black again.
Also, at the same time when this happens, people cant hear me, it sounds like I'm in a tunnel according to them. I literally have to scream. The only way I can take call normally is hope it doesnt go black instantly and switch it to speaker phone. Then it works fine.
I am currently running carbon 4.4.2, but its not a rom issue in my opinion as this was happening when I ran Liquid and paranoid.
Any ideas, its getting to the point where its getting very annoying.
Thanks again!
I'd Odin to stock.
And start customizing my phone 1 step at a time to see if something I had running was causing the problem.
