I have a Rooted s3 using Cm nighties. Ever since I rooted it this weird bug would happened. Every time I'd press the home button or any icon it would execute that action as if I was press and holding I have to reboot my phone to get rid of it but it keeps coming back it used to be every now and then but now it happens everyday after I reboot it I'm tired of having to reboot my phone and I really don't know what the cause of this is... Help!
Use the search tool, please. This is a known issue. Do a full wipe.

i try some solution like cdma workshop, tap 4 corner screen, ##778 method but anyone of them are not working.
I'm here in Philippines and using verizon HTC incredible.
Thanks for helping me in advance
Are you running a ROM or just completely stock unrooted?
Hit the activation and then hit cancel 3 or 4 times in a row. The activation process will be bypassed after a reboot after you do this.

im just using a complete unrooted stock rom.

Are you going to be rooting it and putting a ROM on? If so, you should be able to boot into safe mode to bypass activation. I honestly don't remember the exact buttons to hold. I think you turn the phone of, then push power, volume up, and the trackball at the same time till it boots. Someone feel free to step in if I'm wrong.
Should just be power+volume down. Though stock may be different... it has been a long time since my inc was stock. Heh

wait am suppose to install a custom rom right?
power button+volume down is for recovery menu and their is no safe mode to choose from selection menu.
please help me guys

I'm talking about an actual safe mode that disables most apps and should bypass activation. Here is what you do:
Turn off the phone
Remove and reinstall battery
Press power button once
Once the phone gets past the first HTC screen, hold power, volume up, and trackball until the phone vibrates
Once it finishes booting, you should see Safe Mode in the lower left corner.
Now you can root and install a custom ROM and never worry about activation again.
Oh and this safe mode works on rooted ROMS too.
The squeaky wheel may get the grease. But the ***** gets slapped. Quitcherbitchin!
What el6006 said should work. I did this a few times with a backup Incredible I have. Go as far as you can without actually activating, and then cancel (back up one step), and then repeat until it bypasses. I don't remember needing to reboot, but it may help.
Also, no customization is needed for this.
i did the safe mode but still don't work. huhuhuh...

Okay so ive been running jmt v8 for about a week on my phone and everything was running great. Then yesterday morning my phone became very slow and unusable. Then i started getting the error message acore system has stopped working and the phone would randomly restart and then it would start vibrating then stop then vibrate again and so on. So i insalled a new rom and i stopped getting the core system has stopped error but i am still getting the random reboots. And the screen also wakes up by itself. Please any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I just had this fixed. There's something wrong with the power sensor, especially if it tries to boot the second you put the battery in without touching the power button.
Unfortunately you've been rooted now and because of the issues, you can't flash stock and reset the root count. So you can't sent to your carrier.
Fortunately, http://www.mobiletechvideos.com fixes EXACTLY this for $35 minus shipping it to them. I got my phone back today and it's just the way it was ROM wise and all my files are there and the issue is fixed.
This is a pretty common T989 issue.

And yes, I was sceptical too. Josh, the owner, is reachable by email and answers pretty quickly and did an amazing job repairing my phone.

I can boot into recovery but its tricky because I have to press the buttons perfect or it'll just reboot. I believe the problem is with the power button and ill probably get it replaced.

I have same problem last month, send the rooted phone to Samsung. After 15 days .I get back my phone for free.
I hope this can help you.

For anyone with key issues and need to get into recovery or download mode there are adb commands that do this. We get too comfortable with apps and forget about the manual way of achieving a lot of the same tasks that apps provide for us.
From a command prompt:
adb reboot recovery
adb reboot download

hey guys. after the ics update my phone started to lock up and its not rooted. now all of a sudden when i put the battery in it it vibrates once then starts to load and gets about half way and stops. then it turns off and just vibrates a few seconds and vibrates but the screen never shows anything. tryed using just a usb with the battery out and it skips the load screen and automatically starts vibrate looping. the power button seems stuck but i dont think i can fix it any ideas?
Hey everyone! I have a similar (but not quite the same) problem. Every now and then my phone "tells" me to restart it for maximum performance. Every time I restart or just turn on my phone it goes through the boot cycle, including a message that says "android is upgrading" (I got the ICS upgrade from Kies prior to rooting my phone). Then, all of a sudden, the phone doesn't work, and it starts the boot cycle all over again. This happens several times in a row, which for me is a safety issue because I'm not able to call Big Jon (my husband) to get me from the train late at night. Any fixes for that? Thanks.

Damn! Just found this thread...sounds like what my phone started doing today!!
I was clicking around on gmail, then back to home screen, the camera FLASHED all by itself without me doing anything, then started the boot loop thing. Clicking the power button only made it worse. Finally was able to get into recovery via TWRP...but that was weird too. I did a factory reset/wipe and was going to reinstall The Sith ROM that I was running, but it just rebooted and loaded up The Sith anyway and it should have been cleared. I then tried to restore back to Beastmade ROM, restore was very quick and said successful but it booted back to Sith.
Now the power button is hyper sensitive! All I have to do is brush the power button and it will light up the screen. Touch it too long and it will bring up the boot menu. I'm afraid to actually CLICK the button as it might go haywire again.
WTF is going on!? This all seems really odd that it's going down with some of these new ROMs being released. I wasn't even touching the power button when all this started. The weird clicks and flashes didn't sound good when it was all going on.
Has anyone tried flashing back to and OLD rom to see if it will fix it?
change settings to interactive/deadline
I've had they Hercules for just over a year now but have only been using it for the past four months. I have only downloaded educational apps. However, yesterday i was not using it and came back to find it vibrating every 2-3 seconds. I removed the battery and left it out for an hour. When i replaced the battery, the phone began to reload but stopped during the boot,made a noise I've never heard before and began to vibrate as if going into recovery/download mode. I have been running ics for the past 4 months. The phone does not boot at all and is very frustrating . I have also tried charging it with no luck. Can anyone assist me with this problem??
sounds like you have the dreadful power button fail it gets a little jammed up try sticking a toothpick or something skinny in there and wiggle it a bit see if that works for you if not check if your still under warranty are you rooted or stock ICS?
u have a bad power button. try unsticking it.
Agreed. A friend had a similar issue and his power button was stuck.
I'm rooted and the warranty is up

Strange enough this just happened to me 10 minutes ago. I did manage to get the phone to boot after slapping the hell out if my power button which gave me the only means to get into recovery so now I can comment from experience. Ive been running pac for 3 weeks. Just yesterday my phone started doing really weird ****, dont know if it's just coincidence, calls would go through to random people, every time I clicked gallery I got a random reboot, I couldnt call voicemail, and trying to change wallpapers gave a reboot. Today I was changing a wallpaper and boom random reboot then began the loop and vibrating. A few things I noticed while this was happening, if I attempted to go into recovery the samsung splash screen appeared followed by the stock kernel splash( samsung and the blue bar at the bottom) which made me believe it wasnt the power button but indeed rom or kernel problem, also my led flashed once while going through the vibrate loop and I know the power button has nothing to do with that. I did manage to get pac to boot about 4 times by slapping the hell out of my power button but it went back to the loop after a few seconds so the next time I managed to get it to boot I held the power button and booted to recovery. Once I was able to get in to recovery I restored a liquid smooth back up. Ive powered the phone off and on with no problem. Now I'm just waiting to see what happens through out the day. I was running pac with cerux when this happened. I truly believe this is not a hardware problem at all until I get it again with another set up. If you need help I getting your phone to boot I could possibly be of assistance so pm me unless you want to keep getting responses from people who haven't experienced this at all. This was the single most scariest experience Ive had since I ve been flashing, even worse than my brick because I knew I bricked immediately.
My TMobile note 2 quit working last week. The battery was low and the phone was unused for part of the day. When I went to get it for charging, it showed this weird and useless screen. Since then I've tried charging, pulling and re inserting the battery, in all cases the most it will do is just the one weird screen as shown. I bought another battery and charged it fully before using, same result. It was unlocked but otherwise stock. I had not yet done the most recent update, I think it was on 4.1.1.
Is there anything else I can try before contacting Samsung?
Thanks.

Did you try getting into recovery

Try to go into Download mode. Turn off the device then press Volume Down button, Home Key and
Power Button simultaneously. And then, press Volume UP button in Warning Page to enter the Download Mode. If you can get into the download mode, then flash factory stock rom with Odin. You can try to flash factory stock rom from Kies (run Kies from your desktop) as well. I am hoping the drivers for graphics is corrupted. If so then this would fix that problem.
If neither works then your only choice would be either warranty or insurance. At this point it is hardware problems. And there is nothing you alone can do to fix it.
Have you tried opening up the back and checking the display connection?
You can watch this video for guide, it's quite easy.
