[Q] Phone just started playing someone else's conversion! - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I was just using my RSS reader to read some tumblr posts. I also was using the standard browser that comes with TW (rooted, but otherwise stock MK3). After I closed all of the open windows in my browser and went back to RSS reader. All of a sudden I hear like a feedback and some words for a second. Then again and I can hear more words, but can't make out what was said. Like 2 words. then again. This happened 5 times in a span of 30 seconds and hasn't happened before or after.
I did not have the speaker turned on, my phone is on mute since I'm at work. I want to say it was an ad that was still loading and didn't close right away. But I don't think what I heard was an ad. I didn't get that impression. It sounded more like crossed wires and I was hearing another persons conversations.
Any thoughts on this? Has anyone else had their phone just start to play someone else's conversation by itself? Do I smash my phone right now in case I have some leaches on my phone? I don't like this at all.

"Ghost inputing" problem.

I'm a first time poster. I have searched the Q&A section a few number of pages about my problem and I can't find anything.
My phone likes to press a certain area of the touch screen without me touching it at all. I don't really know what else to call it except "ghost inputing". Sometimes when I go to input text or when I'm at the home screen, it decides to go crazy. If I'm typing up a text message, if in portrait, my phone likes to type Q's even when I definitely don't want to. If I'm in landscape, a bunch of spaces and period is what it likes to press. If I'm at the home screen, the phone likes to pick up an app or open it.
It gets pretty annoying, especially when I'm just trying to reply to someones message. My only temporary way of fixing it was to turn on and off the screen. Sometimes it takes awhile.
I have tried flashing a stock 1.47 ota rom but it didn't really help, actually made it worse. Touch screen responsiveness dropped significantly, so i flashed back down to like 1.32 (responsiveness came back).
I got my phone the day it was released, so I don't even know if I can bring it back to Best Buy or not. Any kind of suggestion would be great... this problem can really bring my spirits down sometimes, especially when I'm showing off my phone to random people when they ask me. Kinda embarrassing to have my phone freak out when it's supposed to be a high end device....
Sounds like a warranty thing. I'd hit up htc.

Im having the same problem making my phone useless :/
I have been trying to bring this issue to light for sometime!!
I have a topic on it already if you guys want to add to it but the end result for me right now is trying to get the phone exchanged..

I have had the same problem.
Turning the screen on and off sometimes makes it go away. It seems like it started when I rooted (simple 3 click). Not positive about that though.
I'm now running Fresh 3.1.0.1 and it is better.

My Phone is Possessed

The other day I took my phone out of my pocket and set it down. I watched as it unlocked itself, opened a new text message, and began typing gibberish. I could see the letters on the keyboard popping up and then moving around before settling on a letter. It got through about three gibberish words before a phone call came through and the phone began ringing.
I have had this happen before (gibberish texts sent to people) but have never caught it in the act. It seems to happen when an event is happening on the phone - either an incoming call or an alarm going off. It's like some instructions are being sent in the phone internally but are being manifested through input on the touch screen or into the Google Voice SMS app.
Anyone else see anything similar or know what might be going on?
I'm running unrooted with the latest OTA updates.

ok, first off...
secondly, your thread title alone is tempting enough for me to post a reaction.
thirdly, maybe there's a delay in your screen touch input? or maybe someone has remote access into your evo? (this is going to make me sound dumb and ignorant, but please bear with me).. i know there are ways to get access into iphones to control them via commands through text messages. maybe that's happening with your evo?? again, i'm almost embarrassed to even be entertaining this idea since android is quite locked down in its nature, but it's the closest thing i could think of as a possible cause besides paranormal activity.
...which, in and of itself, sounds so awesome and creepy.
I had similiar things happen when using any custom rom based off the new ota..
Its something with the screen sensitivity they changed for the ppl who were having grounding issues..its the only thing I can think of..
I think I also have a paranormal situation of my own! Well maybe, but its very curious... A certain phone number/friend of mine has told me that my phone is calling him while my phone is completely idle. This has happened twice in the last 10 days or so. The first day he missed the call, the second time he was able to answer it and it was dead air. My phone was never touched; it was home alone the first time and it was streaming bluetooth music the second time. I know this sounds absurd, but unless it starts happening more frequently I guess I'll just deal with the mysteriousness of it all.

the ghost would have to use a hot dog for the screen to recognize him/her LOL..
i myself dont believe in ghost but thats trippy.
lol a floating hot dog typing things by its self. WTH I just laughed out loud and nearly woke my wife up. That was funny if you picture it in your head lol.
When i got my first Vogue, it would do that. Randomly resend text, send garbled text, and call people. Without any interaction whatsoever.
Sent from my Evo using XDA App
That is hilarious. I would have freaked out seriously. Is your phone rooted?
My phone is not rooted and was running stock with the latest OTA. I am leaning towards the theory that it is something to do with the latest OTA which addressed the grounding issue.
I enabled a password on my phone. Last night I kept hearing these little noises, like a bug beating its wings in really quick, short durations. I was looking all over before I realized it was coming from my phone. Face down, on my nightstand, it was randomly pressing buttons on the password screen and I was hearing the short vibrations of the tactile feedback. It had done it enough that I was locked out and had to wait 30 seconds.
Something's not right in Evo land.
You definitely need an exorcists.
Since you live in UT, I am sure there lots of Mormon High Priest that can help you out.
Good luck.

[Q] Can't answer calls sometimes! Really annoying!

Hello everybody,
Everything is fine with my Arc, except for the huge problem that sometimes I simply can't answer an incoming call! It happens like this: When a call is incoming, the phone starts ringing and vibrating as it usually does. However, the screen that is supposed to come up which shows you who is calling and where you can select to accept or reject the call is simply not showing up.
Has anybody experienced this before?
All I can do is slide to unlock the screen and then I'm looking at my home screen with the phone still ringing but no chance to get the call. There is nothing in the notification area or anywhere else where I could answer the call. All I can do is to wait until the ringing stops!! Really really bad behavior.
Furthermore, once the ringing has stopped, there is no information about the missed call in the call log. So I can't even call back the person who called me!
First time this happened I had "Plants vs Zombies" running so I figured the phone wasn't fast enough to switch to the incoming call. But it also happens when the phone is idling.
There seems to be no scheme behind all of this. Sometimes it happens twice in a row, sometimes only once a week.
I got my unbranded simlock free Arc in mid April with 2.3.2 and .181 firmware and applied Gingerbreak for root access. Later I upgraded via PC Companion to 2.3.3. and .145 firmware. But I lost root which I didn't like. So I downloaded the Generic World Firmware .181 and flashed it on the phone. Then used Gingerbreak again and made an OTA update to 2.3.3. and .145 firmware. Now I have root and the latest firmware.
All the while I used Titanium Backup to restore all my data, settings and apps as I don't want to reinstall all from scratch because it would take forever.
With this latest firmware, everything is fine, except for the call problem!
Please help me, what can I do?? I don't want to reflash and upgrade or whatever or lose all my data. I just want my phone to be able to handle calls as it should be!!
P.S.: I used Antek App Manager and frooze (not deleted!) some apps which where uncessesary and running in the background or at startup which speed up my startup time and free ram quite a bit. But I didn't frooze any crucial apps, at least I hope. Only stuff like Chinese keyboard and Let's Golf etc.
Also, if I would have frozen the call handling app or something, I wouldn't be able to accept calls in most cases, wouldn't I?

Think you may have answered your own question here...
could be, but on the other hand I only frooze really stupid apps which should not affect any important functions of the phone. Also, if I frooze something important related to calls, why is it working most of the time? This is what I don't get.
Here is what I frooze (most of them just took up space in the app drawer and I don't use them), maybe it helps:
- stock browser (I use Opera)
- chinese keyboard (I'm german and don't need it)
- "Downloads"
- retaildemo
- live ware manager
- fb mediadiscovery
- dlna server
- news and weather
- postcard
- SE setup wizard
- sim toolkit
- sony ericsson sync service
- playnow
- sony ericsson support
- track id
- twitter
- let's golf
- google talk
- sony ericsson sync client wizard
so is your problem solved?
Anything related to google should be left alone news and weather should be fine to freeze or delete but would leave Talk alone, and depending what data from which FW was backed up, might also be an issue.
so I defrosted Google Talk. Anything else I should defrost?
Under "Settings" and then "Running services" I sometimes stop "Timescape Legacy Plugin" or whatever it's called because it takes up RAM. Could this also be a cause but I believe it's only for the Timescape app which I seldom use.

I have the exact same problem.
It doesn't happen often but it's really annoying either way.
I barely installed anything off the market and I don't use any sort of app killers/managers.
that's strange because I thought it could be my own fault because I played around and frooze same apps. But it's "good" to know that I'm not the only one.
Do you have any hints about when it happens or when not? Can you exclude anything?
Today, I re-enabled all the froozen apps and then frooze some of them again, according to the thread here on xda. But only apps about which I was really sure.
Don't know how I could test if the error is gone. I mean, have people calling me 100 times and hope it occurs or not doesn't really sound great.
may be there is some problem in your firmware,try some other firmware of other region.................

That's the weirdest part, the only thing I used that day was Whatsapp.
The incident happened about 5 hours later, I was in a car when my phone started ringing.
I tried picking it up but.. I guess you know the rest..
I was about to buy this phone but now I'm having second thoughts.
@flamez
yesterday it happened to me again. The weird thing is, that my girlfriend said she called me three times but I heard it ringing four times! She claims she didn't call me between her second and her third call! But it definetly rang but I couldn't answer it. Also my other friends say that they didn't call me at this time. Could be someone calling who I don't know at the exact time but the chance is slim I guess.
Also whenever there is such a phantom call, there's not even a hint of it inside the missing calls log. And when this happens, nobody ever leaves a message on my mailbox. Is this the same for you? Could be the person is just lazy but I don't know.
Furthermore, it happened several times to me already and never once a person asked me later why I didn't get their call. Strange, isn't it. It almost seems like that there was no one calling at all!
Now, could it be for some unknown reason that our phones just start ringing as if there is a call but in fact there isn't one at all?! You know, the phone just running crazy and triggering the ringtone? That could be the reason why the "accept call screen" doesn't show up and there's no call log because there is now call!
I know, sounds very weird. But think about it. They could be really "ghost calls".

No, I don't think that's it..
It's happened only twice to me over a 2-3 month period and my friends have always called me back asking why I never pick up the phone.
It really just happens about once a month to me, and I can answer the second time they call me right away without any problem.
Are you guys running task killers?
{EDIT - I remember OP saying that he'd frozen a load of stuff.. Suggest that if you're getting this a lot that you un freeze all of it and see how it goes, maybe just freeze the end user apps - like Lets Golf HD at first then build up the frozen apps slowly until you get the problem..}

No, as I said before, I'm not using any sort of task killers/app managers.
Today first time i encountered same problem. I have WhatsApp running in background. No task killer, nothing else.
Though i donno how to solve this problem. But i can surely tell how to pick up call in this case.
Just press the power key, this will take phone in locked state, but the call wont be rejected.
now click the home key and you will see the answer key, now slide it, it will slide without problem
it's good news that you found a workaround! I'll try to remember it the next time it happens.
Today, I had the problem again but this time it was different. The slider or the contact picture of the person calling didn't appear, but I could see the number of the person who is calling in the notification bar (not the name, just the number although this number and contact is stored in my contacts).
This happened the first time, all the other times the phone just rang without any hint of who is calling.
It would be nice if we were able to pinpoint a certain event which causes this odd behavior but so far I had no luck. What I'm doing differently since the last time it happened is, that I don't use task killers anymore. But still, it happened again today.
It's difficult to find out what it is when you don't know what causes it and when it will happen. For example, it happened to me today once for the first time in about a week.
in recent days, "it" happened very often to me!
Sometimes, the phone manages to at least show the number of the person calling so that I can call back. But usually it doesn't! The call just disappears into nirvana.
Do you guys remember if the error is associated with a certain amount of RAM left available? In other words, if the available RAM at the time of the incoming call is below a certain limit (which I don't know) the phone can't display the call. When it happened to me today, I had only 90MB RAM left. Maybe the phone can't free up enough RAM fast enough?!
Also the trick, which somebody mentioned a few posts above me, that when it happens you press the power button and then home and then you can slide and accept the call very rarely works!
I'm desperate and don't know what to do about it. I have just finished adjusting my phone to my needs. I linked apps with Link2SD and now have over 100 apps installed and still 215MB left on the internal memory, I have root and the .145 firmware. Everything is fine, except for this error!! It would take ages to restore it to the point where it is now, if it is complety possible at all.
I mean, if a phone can't handle calls, what good is it for?
I had a NEC e616 years ago which frooze while sending SMS or crashed after connecting a call or during a call and other "funny" things, but this was well known for this model.
But we don't have 2004 anymore and I except the Arc to work.
I could send it in on warranty, possibly. But then everything would be erased and it would take forever to get it repaired.
And I'm afraid they are going to tell me that they couldn't reproduce the error (because it happens so randomly)!
Such a nice and beautiful phone if not for this stupid error!
I'm already tempted to get rid of the phone and look for something else. But who's going to buy a phone with a bug which can't display phone calls?!!
I mean, I could reset it and flash the fimware and stuff and then hope. Maybe the error is gone. Maybe it persists and then all my data is gone and I have to start from scratch.
Or it is gone and then I have to start from scratch also!
If I should be forced to do it all over again and have all the work, then I could do it on another phone as well.
The Samsung Galaxy SII is quite ugly, to wide and big but I hope it can at least handle a call?!
Thank you for any help!!
Hmm..
If it happens rarely.. Why don't you sell it off on ebay
If asked about other mobile. I prefer sensation to sgs2. Much better phone function. In fact IMO htc is better than all other androids when it comes to phone functions.

Bugs on stock AT&T firmware (4.1.1)

I searched the AT&T Galaxy S III General forum and saw no other posts similar. Essentially, I was wondering if anyone had experienced other bugs in the stock firmware. I am not rooted and have not modified my phone's software from stock.
There are two bugs I currently have seen. One I can and will provide screenshots of. This is where during the lockscreen the formatting will be incorrect, such that the last number on the time will be small and the charging text appears on the same line. Also note that the lockscreen shortcuts at the bottom are spaced oddly. I always have five icons, yet sometimes only 3 or 4 show spaced unevenly. I can reproduce this by watching Netflix and while a video is playing, I lock the screen. When I first unlock it, this will happen. This will fix itself if I relock the screen and wake the device again.
The second bug is in the messaging app. Sometimes when my device falls asleep by itself while I have the keyboard up and active on a thread, and I wake it, the keyboard is unusable. I can click on the message block to bring up the keyboard, but all of my keystrokes are not entered into the message block. I have to back out of the keyboard and thread, to the thread list, then go back to the thread. My previous keystrokes are still not showing, but the keyboard will then work.
Anyone else noticed any bugs?
I'm fine on my phone

I've had the second bug happen with the keyboard maybe a handful of times since I got the phone but definitely not a regular occurrence.
I wouldnt worry too much about it but if it bothers you that bad just try a factory reset.

I've only experienced this issue that you describe. I've gotten used to it, so I'm now indifferent towards it.
I've had issues with the battery life however and how the actual "percentage" is being reported, but I think that it's just Jelly Bean that is causing the issue when my device is restored to stock setup as opposed to running ICS. Sometimes, my phone gets really warm overnight (and I can assure you that nothing is running in the background). Looking at the battery graph, I see a sharp drop within the space of about 20 minutes. This causes the back cover of my phone to be discolored. My i747 is only 5 weeks old and I'm the original owner.
phone minimizes
I have an issue where my phone screen turns off when I'm it for a while (typically at work I use a wired headset). When I wake the phone up and swipe on the lock screen, the phone shows the phone "app" for a second then it jumps to the home screen (as if I hit the home button). Typically I'm unlocking the phone so I can either hit a number on the phone (like, press 1 for English) or I'm wanting to hang up. So I have to go back into the phone application to do either task.
ICS didn't do that to me.
Me and a few others have experienced a bug where the external sd unmounts itself at random. Mostly when the screen goes to sleep. For one freezing the MTP application with tibu solved his sd problem but by doing that you cant mount your phone to a pc. As far me nothing has helped yet. My external sd just unmounts at random and I have to remove it and put it back several times to get it to work again and sometimes and I have to format it in the pc to get it to work again. This has happened to a a lot of tmobile users. I never noticed this problem on ics so im assuming its a jb problem. Its not a micro sd card being bad because it does it with my other cards to and one is a very expensive Samsung card..

I think this has happened to me once or twice. But I guess with the scarcity it's happened I thought I was bumping the back button or home button with my face, i.e. a failure of the proximity sensor to correctly detect my face.
I just started noticing the Keyboard Messaging bug myself. Wasn't sure why it was happening.
I just remembered (or refreshed my memory since my phone just started doing it) that whether or not TalkBack is off or on, my phone needs to tell me which number screen I am whenever I slide my finger across the dots at the bottom of the home screen or the app drawer. Is this a different setting I am missing or is this another bug?
I have had the messaging bug occur a couple of times. No biggee to me considering it has only happened twice in a month's time. I have seen other phones with much more persistent and annoying bugs and by comparison, this is nothing.
no problems here... i like it a lot now
Problem on Stock/root

I'm not sure if this is the right place either, since this is generally non-rooted, although the topic doesn't specify that I suppose.
However, I would venture a guess that you may need to wipe your data and cache. Sounds like a default app issue to me.
If I use bluetooth headphones on my walk to work, then plug in wired headphones at work, the audio plays out of the speaker.
It's really annoying because it happens every morning (as it's too early for me to remember things like that) and blasts my podcasts to my coworkers. Removing the wired headphones and reinserting fixes the issue.

Actually, I've had a similar issue. I use Google Play Music (as a carry-over from my Nexus S). When the first song of the playlist would finish (using the headphone jack to play through my car stereo), the second song would start on the phone speaker.
It doesn't seem to happen anymore, but it did directly after the JellyBean update.
PIN Lock Instantly with power button
I am upset that the "Lock Instantly with Power Key" option missing from 4.1.1. I have been searching for a fix, but I must be the only one annoyed by this, or I'm bad at searching.

I have a pin lock but am used to a 15 min delay before I need to enter the pin, and being able to push power to shut the screen off at will. That is no longer an option as it always will lock to the PIN screen if the power button is pushed. It is very annoying to me.
Another bug is the Keyboard defaulting Samsung Keyboard on reboot. Every time I restart, I have to go back into settings to select Swiftkey.

"Add a note" phone cards not going away

I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing this, if it's normal behavior and if there is a way to correct it.
When I get a phone call, I get the standard caller ID. When I take the call, it changes to the "add a note" card with the caller id image in the background. But when I hang up (from the phone) this card never goes away. If I'm in the office with the watch on the charger in my living room and take a call, I can go in there an hour or two later and that card is being displayed in full brightness in the charger. This is a bit fo a pain, especially if I'm sitting on the couch with the watch in the charger and take a call.
It seemed to me that when I first got the watch, this didn't happen; when I hung up the call, the display would go back to my watch face. I was hoping that once the Lollipop update came through (which seemed to take forever to come) it would go back to the original behavior but it hasn't.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
Is this by design? Is there anyway to either make it go away on call end or stop it from displaying at all?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
So nobody? I'm the only one in the world experiencing this?
Same here
I am also facing this issue and haven't found solution till date. At first I thought one if call recorder app is causing this , still no luck even after removing that app.

My ultimate solution was to buy the Huawei watch. I never could determine the cause which survived every fw upgrade. Between that and the miserable battery life, it was the right decision. The Huawei is better in every way for me and two months into it, I still haven't run the battery out once.
