[Q] After 4.1.2 update phone call screen stuck

After the latest 4.1.2 update i've had an unusual bug come up. When i'm in the middle of a phone call, my screen shows the (for lack of a better term...) chooser screen when you decide whether to accept the call, hang up, or reply with a text. I can't get rid of it and it overlay's the big red "End Call" button so to hang up I have to hit the home button, then pull down the notifications and select "hang up" from there.
Maybe there's a setting that i'm missing but i didn't change anything and the only thing that has changed on my phone is the 4.1.2 update. Does anyone have any idea's what's going on?
I unlocked and rooted my phone to get the Jelly Bean update about 3 months ago but other than that I haven't messed with it. Any help anyone can give would be great. I'm a big fan of xda.

You checked "Yes this is a question"
Guess where it belongs?

You might try wiping data in the phone apk.

Sorry Kenny, won't happen again. So you figure it's in the apk? Any idea what I should delete?

[Resolved] Auto Haptic menu is missing in JB?

Just installed Spotify.. and it's damn annoying and battery consuming to have the phone vibrating in my pocket while listening to a song...
They say that it's Auto Haptic Feedback that's causing it... well that setting is gone in LJ7... Is there a way to bring back the menu option or at least completely disable auto haptic? Maybe a library or apk or something?
I tried simply disabling haptic feedback which I don't want to do, but even that didn't work, it still vibrates...
Annoying!!
Any ideas?
Fixed, see 4th post.

Could have sworn I was in the right section when I posted this... was in the middle of 50 other things at work, so who knows. Thanks.

Took a shot in the dark here, and it worked.
If anyone else is having this problem, here's what I did to fix it...
Backup Apps (Other than Settings)
Wipe Data/System
Install ICS (I'm on FreeGS3 so I just used an older version... 0.2.0 in this case)
Enable Auto Haptic
Install Spotify (I just restored it from the backup), verify the vibrate is on
Go into Auto Haptic, put a check in Spotify
Then back out and go back in, remove the check
Then back out and disable Auto Haptic
Verify the vibration is gone
Reboot to Recovery
Wipe Dalvik/Cache
Update to JB without wiping Data.
Restore Apps
Re-setup all settings
Drink Beer
I typically backup my settings as well, but this time I decided to go without it so that it wouldn't somehow re-enable it in the background.
Just an FYI if people have the same problem here.

Thanks for the question and info on the fix. I was able to duplicate the fix with my nandroid backup. I know there is a new elegant way to do this by manually editing the system. I'll do some homework and post back.

I reviewed portions of the secsettings.apk, and saw that much of the script for autohaptic was intact. Comparing files beween ics and jb made it clear that the removal of the autohaptic settings was a mistake.. I did another google search, and found that a recent widget was created to address the issue. The widget is a temporary fix to globally enable or disable autohaptic until they can fix the issue.

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.

This may work, it may not. It worked for me.
Allow your phone to run the update. It will fail. Take your battery out, put it back in. The update may never come back. If it does come back, kennyglass123 created a .zip to fix that issue i believe. search around for it.

Argh! Soft Keys not working and can't backup!!

Help! On my 4th (yes FOURTH) malfunctioning S3 and the soft keys will not light up nor do anything. No haptic feedback, no action, no light, nothing - it's like they are not on the phone.
I have tried all the timing setting for the soft key light duration to no avail.
Instead of getting endless refurbished phones from Asurion, T-mobile decided to send me a brand new stock S3 but.....
....my problem is that I can't back up my phone as all the backup options require you to use the the left hand soft key to access the menu options!!!!!
Can anyone help me with a workaround? I don't want to have to root it if possible as I'll have to unroot it again to send the bad one back.

What app are you using to back up? Titanium does not require the use of softkeys to do this.

Button Savior on the app store.

So close and thanks for the suggestion but no dice - both button savior and virtual button need root for the menu. SO DAMN ANNOYING that the devs left this out (and apparently it wasn't a limitation, they assume people don't need it!)
This might be the way to go but I can't find an app that allows use of the menu button.
Any other suggestions people? I'm going crazy and I really don't want to have to root and unroot just to back my phone up.

Unsure how to phrase this diplomatically, so beware...
Rooting is a hurdle for you - but it's an imaginary one for me and everyone else. Flash a recovery, root it, do what you need, TriangleAway, unroot it. Unsure what the issue is.
If you need stock recovery downloads, they can be found, They are on my Dropbox, I just don't link them. Or you can Odin. There are countless ways to achieve your goal. Why you are refusing them all, I do not understand. You can 100% undo a root. And if you are currently residing in the UK, as your profile suggests, you are in the wrong forum. And the files in my signature are not for you; don't flash them.

i know what you're saying but I had to do it several times before and it adds about a good 2 hours to the whole process. It's not bullet proof either as I had to triangle away several times on one occasion to get it to work.
I did however find a solution:
Using Button Savior to give me a back button, I found that SUPER BACKUP does require use of the menu button at all, and it also backs up all Apps, contacts, SMS, call logs etc. Then all I had to was copy and paste all my images to storage card.
I honestly don't know why someone hasn't made a app with a virtual menu button - if you google "soft keys not working s3" you will find literally hundreds of threads as it seems to be a common problem. I know someone would have got my $5 yesterday if it existed.
