Same issue

I had the same problem when I flashed CM9 and then when I downgraded back down to CM7, I tweaked the kernels I used and changed my UV settings and it hasn't happened since. Perhaps flash a different kernel and see if that works?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dancom96:
Tried several of them, this seems to happen on stock 2.3.6 as well.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrism.brunner:
I flashed a stock sbf to return to stock. Still had the sleep of death. Reboots after and during phone calls, and touch screen problems. I believe it is hardware related.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] mgerbasio:
I'm looking for an app that will lock the screen when the phone is upside down. Here's my problem. I keep my phone in my pocket, generally top shirt pocket. I'll be on a call using a headset (BT or wired) and another call comes in. The screen wakes up (in pocket detection doesn't make a difference) and because it is a press to answer button on the screen for call waiting, the phone connects to the waiting call 99% of the time.

So, I'm looking for a way to keep the screen from activating. In pocket detection would be good if it worked. Maybe just have the phone upside down in my pocket (not good for wired headset through). If there isn't an app, something like Tasker (looked but it doesn't seem like a solution) or anything else that might help is appreciated. I can't believe I'm the only one with this problem but it I don't see any complaints. TIA.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] drmpk:
i too need a similar app

i use a bluetooth headset to receive call on my maxx. i have tried almost every app that detects in pocket using proximity sensor. they all work well. but the moment a call arrives or made the screen lights up causing all sorts of button press and the phone hangs. please suggest a app with which the screen should not come on whatever may be the event (call, message etc) when it is inside the pocket.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Finalchrono:
Try using:

Cheeky Hangup Guard

myLock Utilities

Angle offHookGuard

On Phone Touch Protection

I've not personally used them but their description sounds like it might be what you're looking for.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] velles2003:
i use automagic automation to create a rule to lock or silence the phone when it's turned face down.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Just found this on pocketables, there is a hidden power saver menu that allows us to adjust a bunch of stuff to save some juice. Some of the options don't seem to do anything but I'm thinking it's because there is a percentage threshold where it kicks in at. Anyway, download QuickShortcutMaker from the play store and scroll down until you find power saver settings, or just type power into the filter box and it will pop up. Doing that adds a shortcut to your homescreen to access the hidden menu. Play around with it, see if it helps you gain some more battery life.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dkirchik:
Could that give me longer screen on time? Mainly its just engadget and xda and texts lol.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] expertzero1:
Wait 6 hours on screen haha nice
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
6+ hours screen time? GTF outta my thread! ;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MyronJ906:
Haha time to start carrying a charger around and trying to squeeze out every little bit of performance .

I laugh in the face of 30 FPS!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] dkirchik:
What if i don't wanna?! :p
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] john_tillman:
I see most of them were already checked. Does that mean invoking this just put those defaults on or they were always ON and there isn't much we can do about those.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Pretty sure they were already on. The reduce cpu and framerate were also checked but I unchecked those. I really think this stuff only kicks on when your phone goes into power saving mode, ie. when it's at 15% or whatever it may be.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidiac13:
Why the hell would they hide those? Tricky little suckers. LOL
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crappyvate:
great find. sneaky bastards...

Anyway no need for extra app if you're using Apex or Nova.;)
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
I'm so jealous of you guys but mostly just pissed off at my bad luck. All the One X's I've tried I get this bull****.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidiac13:
Skizz, you aren't the only one that doesn't get that. I might get 3.5-4 hours of on screen, but I never get even a full day out of a charge. So at least you get that.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
Are you trolling right now? lol

You're probably looking at 3 1/2 hours screen time and over a day and a half of juice. I'd say that's pretty good.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jspidey:
Agreed! That's way better than I've ever seen. I'd like to see a screenshot that show how the cell signal was too. I'm sure my battery life would be better if my cell strength was better. I don't even get yellow throughout the day, it's mostly that puke brown color.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] droidiac13:
Puke brown. Love it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
What's yellow and/or puke brown?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Crizthakidd:
What should I tick to get the most juice
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] kleeman7:
EVERYTHING!!!!!!!!!! Lol, jk I don't know.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
No clue, I have noticed no immediate results. As I said before, I don't think any of it kicks in until power saving mode turns on when your battery is low.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] pauley:
I added a comment there, but will here also:

Sorry to burst your bubbles- Changing the settings has had no effect at all on my stock unrooted AT&T HTC One X, which I'm sure is why it's hidden.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] mobilehavoc:
This explains a lot...I used to notice my One X would feel more sluggish (I thought for the longest time it was in my head) when on extremely low battery like < 15%. Now I know why - it was doing all this crap without me knowing.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
I'm not certain of it, but it makes sense to me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
Honestly I'm not. I keep seeing posts of 7 hours. I'm sorry if you thought I was trolling. I didn't mean for it to sound like that. I thought what I posted was poor battery life compared to what others are posting. I just hit 3 hours now with one day and 10 hours but this is with WiFi on that while time. Never using the cell data and I haven't made any calls.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
I don't know what you mean. I'll take a screenshot of it but I'm not sure what you're asking.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] _MetalHead_:
I knew you weren't trolling, I was just messing with you because 3 hours screen time with 1 day 10 hours is pretty good IMO. For your screen on time, if you are constantly doing stuff it's not going to be that high, like loading web pages, browsing FB, playing games, etc... but if you are doing static things like reading long articles or whole threads or other stuff that doesn't make the phone work too hard, you will see longer screen on time.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
I see what you're saying.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ASavva:
WTF! Please do tell us your secret to 6 hours on screen time hahaha!

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
CleanRom and WiFi, that's all you need.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] jspidey:
My signal as seen here:

I think this may be an important part as to who has excellent battery life and who's battery life is just "meh". I just rebooted my phone so my times are all messed for now. Thing is, I'm at work now (nice big brick building) and live about an hour away. I get this same signal strength for just about all my commute except maybe one spot where it's green. I wish mine were better.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Skizzy034:
I went back to the phone I have to take back to compare the battery life on it to the replacement and I just can't figure out what is causing the poor battery life. I ruu'ed back to 1.85 and I'm still getting this kind of battery life. I wish I could figure out what else to do because the screen on this looks so much nicer and brighter than the replacement. I did that HTC battery test and it ended at 91% so I don't know what's wrong.

Will for some reason it won't let me post screenshots on here through the xda app. This app never works right. It's so inconsistent. One day everything works fine and the next day nothing works. It says that I couldn't connect to the forum but yet it will let me post text. Smh. But anyway here are my stats.

5 hours and 57 mins with 32 mins screen on time and it's at 82%. I haven't done anything but send a few texts and check fb and xda. I've been on WiFi the whole time. Anyone know of anything else I can try? I have 7 more days to try out the replacement but the screen doesn't look as nice as this one. The battery life tho seems 10 times better.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] jonnunez:
When I get a text message I unlock my phone, and on the bottom where the text message icon is it'll display the # of texts you received. Even after reading my text message the number never clears itself and goes away it'll still have a number next to it saying I have a text.. Anyone having this issue??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] shorty87:
Doesn't happen to me, but I am using Handcent instead of stock messaging app. Try going to applications and clearing the cache/data for the messaging app.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] falafelfro:
My new Galaxy s3 can't play .WAV audio files regardless of the music player app I use. All my previous Android phones (including previous Galaxy models) had no problem with .wav files. Is this an ICS issue, or a Galaxy s3 issue, and does anyone know if there's a solution? I'm simply trying to set up a .wav file as a notification for one of my Gmail labels.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] zonly1:
I copied some wav files to my phone dir...the first thing I noticed was that Windows wanted to covert them to wma files...I did not allow that. Then I used ES File Explorer and opened up a wav file with Sound player and also Google Play Music...no problem with either.

---------- Post added at 06:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:42 PM ----------

Ah, then I tried to set the wav as my Google Mail "ringtone" and it did not appear. Used Ringdroid and made it a notification and then I could select it.

I just wanted to know what games work for you guys. I figured most games would be supported because of Qualcomm Adreno graphics. But I tried Mass Effect: Infiltrator which just crashes, and MC3 and Nova3 just say unsupported. So I just wanted to know, what graphically good games you all have been able to get working.

Time to unbunch there, or ease back on the caffeine. The phone is brand new and, unlike Apple products, the developers are faced with many variations in hardware. Given the phone's expected popularity, many developers will fix the issues to tap the market. But they aren't psychic and need to have the devices in hand, or receive notifications from users about issues.

So I got NOVA 3 working on the SGS3 by changing the build.prop to the galaxy S2, but it's

extremely

choppy and low frame rate during times of high action. Maybe like 3-5fps.

This shouldn't really be the case with such a new phone. I couldn't imagine how poorly it runs on even the previous generation of phones. What am I doing wrong?

Edit: not even high action, just any action. I can't believe the newest phone is this slow. There are videos of this game running on the mali400 version of the phone and it runs at like 99fps ALL the time. It would absolutely SUCK if the adreno225 or whatevers in the S4 is THIS slow.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] nonmindo:
.

How did you go about changing the build.prop

I tried editing the device name from T999 to i9100 using ES File Explorer editor, saved and rebooted, but it did not load, I had to restore a nandroid
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] eatkabab:
you gotta have busy box installed. Also, I recommend using a build prop editor app just to make things extra easy for you.

I used this one: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ypsisysutils.popropeditorads
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] nonmindo:
Sweet thanks! ya I usually use RomToolbox for editing the build.prop....I have busybox.....wonder if maybe the ES Explorer text editor breaks the build.prop some how, cause both times i edited the build.prop with it, my phone would NOT boot after, requiring a Nandroid (the first one i didnt have my nandroid on my internal SD, so i had to exchange phone as there was no stock ODIN available for tmo sgs3 yet at the time)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] eatkabab:
Wow, glad that exchange worked out for you. I've been good about these things since I started 'editing' my phone back in the original windows mobile days so I haven't warrantied in a while, but have these companies become wise to what's going on? I mean the phone has a flash counter, but does ATT even know how to just read it? Seems pretty straight forward, but then again every time I call them I seem to be able to trick the rep into a $50 credit within 15min. Even when they check my payment history they just say "oh wow I see you've been having problems, I apologize, here's more money."
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] Skdi:
How do you trick them into a $50 credit?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] nonmindo:
I was within the 7day exchange period and claimed "got hot from gaming, rebooted, didnt go past "galaxy S III screen" store rep replicated the issue, gave me new phone....i think the whole process took all of 15min and I dont think at the store level they know how to check the download count
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] gandalf21502:

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] willham:

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] eatkabab:
So the easiest way to trick apps into thinking you have another phone is to change the phones model number from Samsung-I747 to Samsung-I727 (galaxy S2). Normally you'd have to change the model field as well as the product company field.

A further discovery....

Games will only block the install process not the actual game play once installed! Hence...I've changed my build.prop. back to its original state...and the games I installed (mc 3, nova 3) while it was set to gt-I9100 still work! S Memo too!

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps  (US Carriers)] davidstech11:
The Adreno 225 in the S4 processor is not that ‘slow'. The games just have to be optimized for the processor. Just because you have a new device does that mean it can play any game. Maybe it will be optimized for it, maybe it will not. Mass Effect did not work at first. Now it is. Maybe more games will become available once the device is more available. A lot of stores don't even have this yet. AT&T is still not even selling this is most stores.
