Cant answer call - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

The other day I got a phone call and the phone would not wake, I could not doing anything. It just rang, it would not let me answer. The screen remained off the entire time. I hit the power button and screen remained off. I think it eventually restarted the phone. Im stock rom and rooted. Any ideas why this happened?

After settings there is no applications. Just application manager and I don't see phone option in there?

In app manager you have to scroll over to "All" which will have the phone app listed.

Well I can't figure it out. I just don't want all that history on there. Y won't it turn off.
Sent from my MB525 using XDA App
I don't know how to disable that feature but as a last resort you could delete the history periodically by pressing the menu button (when you are in the History screen) and choosing "Clear History"
That's what im doing now. I tried a few alps that say they clear/delete everything with 1 button. No luck. Silly. Thanks for the imput

Confused here... Your title says your phone won't sleep.. But your post says your screen times out (shuts off?)??
Little more please....

Try to delete some recent apps you installed.
I never got to the bottom of this. My screen will turn on after I get a txt or the alarm clock rings.

Those are proscribed behaviors... The phone is supposed to do that unless you dl a mod. I think freeza did a mod for the messaging notifications....

Hope I'm not thread jacking. But they turn on and never turn back off. So if I don't put my phone on the charger at night and then I get a txt, the screen stays on and drains. Or if I snooze in the morning and pass back out, the screen stays on.

Wake locks! Use better battery stats to tell you what the offending app is.

I'm actually having this issue. Phone will stay on and won't go into sleep. Touch key light duration is set to 1.5 seconds but this stays on as well. And I'm having to reset the phone every time this happens. Could anyone direct me to resolving this issue?
Use better batteey atats to find the app keeping it awake, and uninstall.

Is that a app?

Any way to fix home button wake up bug?

Dont know what else to call it really but I know this is happening with all of our devices.. which is when the screen times out and u press home to wake it up it takes u back to default homescreen. The sgs3 doesnt react that way and ive had to get used to hitting the power button instead. Any ideas? This would be amazing and greatfully appreciated.

I can't replicate this issue. I let my screen timeout and pressed the home button and it simply turned the screen back on to where I left it.

I've had it happen. You press he home button immediately after the screen goes black, and it wakes the screen up, but also takes out of what ever you are in and takes you to the home page. I've retrained myself not to go for the home button, but the power button.

Stock rooted. I tried it multiple times and the same thing happens, screen times out, I instantly press the home button and it turns the screen back on but keeps me on the web page, app, etc that I'm using.

This is really an issue, "immediately" hitting the home button when it goes to sleep? Why not just avoid letting it go to sleep or hit the power button? This seems like a non issue to me and I've never had it happen.
but my post does not help the OP so good luck with that, sorry for the editorial.
The point is my sgs2 gti9100, and sgs3 tmobile which both had physical buttons didnt react this way.. I find it to be strange.

Are you using stock LEAK ?
I think this is a Jellybean 4.1 issue. My Note 2 has the same problem, but my wife's Galaxy S3 didn't when she was on ICS. Last week the phone updated to JB and now the problem exists.
This is definitely related to Jelly bean but I'm not sure if it is strictly a Touchwiz Jelly bean issue. It happens when I removed S Voice from the home button double press. It happens on the S3 and when my Note II comes in I bet it will happen on there too.
There are a lot of people that noticed it and I even saw someone open an issue with Google, although I'm not sure it is entirely a Google issue.
http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=39326
The last line is the issue maybe.
"I want the single tap to be more snappy - for that I must disable s voice, but when I do it this bug raises its head. "
Do you guys have s voice disabled on the home button to save that lag time?
I disabled the s voice on the home button but still have the lag.

Task Manager randomly stops working + Wifi toggle issues

Hi guys. I'm on Cleanrom 4.7.0 and Nova Prime. 2 problems: Every once in a while my task manager won't function. I'll long press home and it will give me Haptic feedback but nothing will show up. Occasionally (I've only noticed this happen while I'm inside an app) the task manager will appear for a split second and then disappear. This is fixed by a restart but it's getting really annoying as it happens quite often.
Second problem: my Wifi and mobile hot spot toggles (top row in notification dropdown) will stop being clickable (I can neither turn them off or on.) I can long press them to enter their settings and turn each one on from there, but the toggles themselves don't work. This also fixes itself via restart.
Anybody have any ideas?
have you tried fixing permissions Or wiping dalvik cache?

Haven't tried that, no. I know how to wipe the delvik cache but how do you fix permissions? Is that also in recovery?

I've noticed that task manager doesn't lways work great in certain apps.. I just click the home button, long press the home button to bring up task manager and delete the unwanted apps, then reopen the app you were in. The process takes literally 2 seconds.

When it stops working it doesn't matter if I'm in an app or not. I've gone to the application manager and closed all apps then tried again, still nothing on the long press. I'm hoping that wiping the cache and fixing permissions did the trick

[Q] Stock camera crashes when I try to enable "take photos using voice"

Here's what I'm doing:
1. Open camera
2. Tap gear for settings
3. Scroll down to "Take photos using voice"
4. When I try to tap "on", the camera freezes right there (can't back out with arrow, can't do anything), then it crashes.
Anyone else experienced this? All the other settings work fine in there, just that one's screwed up. Which is, of course... annoying!
Thanks for anyone's advice.
Di you have it enabled in s voice already?
