[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elayn:
Lack of a better subject description the only thing I can describe it as is possessed. I've never had this problem before. Searched various different keywords and couldn't find anything. So if this is a repost then I apologize.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 from Verizon white 32gb. Never been rooted. Around the time Verizon pushed out the last update for the phone it's been acting strange since the update and it's progressively gotten worse. It's almost made purchases for me while I'm browsing google play it'll randomly press areas and randomly click buy at times. Or I'm trying to text someone and it'll either type something on it's own or start trying to delete/lock/resend, etc messages. It starts up s voice randomly too.

So basically it's like having a set of ghost fingers/hand trying to control my phone while I'm trying to control it and the ghost is winning and I'd rapidly hit the home button to exit out of whatever I was trying to do. If the screen is on and unlocked it'll do the same thing even if I'm not touching it but this is maybe 1 out of 5 times compared to the while I'm trying to actively use my phone it'll be 1 out of 2.

Temporary fixes have been to just restart the phone and at first it would only occur every couple days and then once a day and now every few hours to every few minutes. Anyone have any suggestions on what I can do? Any tips would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
All you have available right now is factory data reset or refurb. If don't fix reflash the latest available stock software via Odin or root and unlock it and flash anything. Can even root stock and have access to better apps. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Ryno77:
Try a factory reset if you haven't.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elayn:
I have now tried a factory reset and while it took longer than just a few minutes to go all psychotic on me it still happened. Thanks for the tips! Any other suggestions? refurb is the last option I want to take I've received too many defective refurb phones and I don't think I can deal with anymore. I can try root I suppose but if there's any other suggestions I should try prior I'm open!

Thank you thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] shangrila500:
If i were in your position I would try to Odin back to the stock rom you had before the update. There is a sticky in the development section that tell you how to do that and much more

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mustbepbs:
It sounds defective. I'd take it back.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
What you are describing happened to my Droid Incredible a few times: it appeared that someone else was creating random tap events on my phone. Turned out to be a slightly dirty and/or stuck optical trackball - once that was cleaned (easy), everything was back to normal.

Now, the Galaxy S III does not have a trackball. I don't see a direct correlation with my Incredible, but the symptoms you describe are oddly similar: perhaps try cleaning your various pushable keys, just in case?

Might install and run Symantec Antivirus just for a final check, then call Verizon Support if it's still happening and perhaps see what they can offer.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] adoublearonn:
Replace your device. The touchscreen encoder is bad. If your screen is clean, never got wet, and is pressing random areas - and a factory reset or Odin doesn't work - this is most likely the case. You could try to convince them to give you a new one at the store by telling them you don't want to wait or something.

Also download the app multitouch visualizer and run it when it's flaking out. You will be able to see the "screen press" activity.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] droid_freak:
Because the device is so new you have a very good chance of getting a new replacement. I had something happen to my GNEX and they replaced it with a new phone no refurb.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elayn:
Thank you all very much for your tips and advice! I stopped by the Verizon store today. Twice actually. It was a no go. First off they won't replace my phone with anything but a refurb (which is standard policy anyway) but the second part which is really irritating is that the phone was driving me insane till I went into the verizon store while waiting for a tech it kept acting odd then when the tech got my phone it functioned correctly. So since they couldn't replicate the problem they said they can't offer me a replacement. As soon as I got into the car it started happening again I ran into the verizon store and they said I had to wait for a tech again so I put my name in and waited had a different tech and of course as soon as he tested the phone it wasn't acting odd anymore so once again couldn't replicate.

Maybe my phone really is possessed.. but then again it's been my luck with past phones as well if they have issues they refuse to happen in store so I got my replacements via 611 tech support. So I called 611 and they said they never heard of the issue and that I should wait for update.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
Or Odin stock firmware instead of waiting. Can Odin without root.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elayn:
I'll give that a try tomorrow morning and hope it works. I'll check in either way. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XdrummerXboy:
Take a look at this, and look into this virus some more:

blog.lookout.com/blog/2010/12/29/geinimi_trojan/

I did some research and someone said those are the symptoms of the virus...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Brian Gove:
It's Verizon, some tech there is having fun with the remote capabilities of the new OTA.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elayn:
Alrighty, took longer than expected but I did manage to do Odin stock firmware. It fixed the problem or so I thought for 48 hours but then it returned. Now a new problem has come up and the battery is draining at alarming speeds.. I will have phone at 80% when I go to sleep and when I wake up 3 hours later the battery is completely dead. No new apps, nothing draining in the background. I'm at a loss. Anyone have any other advice? Or are my only options now to throw the phone out the window or try to root it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BiasedThunder:
You wrote in a previous post that you went into the Verizon store... don't do that, ever... just call them.. tell them what it's doing and that you have tried a factory reset. They will overnight you a new/refurbished phone.

I had problems with mine as well and after fighting with the tool they call a manager I called 611 from the parking lot and after the hold time I had tech support on the phone and had a new replacement on the way 5 minutes later..

Just my 2 cents.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] elayn:
Thanks for the tip but if you read through the whole post. I did default to calling 611 like I usually do and they wouldn't do anything about it. Yes, I did tell em I did the factory reset. It's not the first time I had a phone replaced through 611 I've gone through maybe 10+ replacements on one of my past phones because they kept sending me a defective one over and over again. I did call 611 again since you suggested it but I was told the same exact thing as last time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Nastyemu:
I had this happen a few times with my phone before the update verizon pushed (stock, rooted). I would end up pulling the battery to get it to stop. Hasn't happened to me in a while though. Now i'm running JellyWiz RLS12

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] durandetto:
So, I'm moving to a Sprint dead zone and thinking about switching to att. The price will be close to the same, but with only 4gb of data which doesn't mean much because I get crap for 3g and will never see 4g. Anyone have any luck getting out of contract for crappy service? I would probably get the sgs3, because the one x doesn't have an sd card slot, unless there is something better coming soon to att.

I know I could get an airrave, but that would still leave my phone useless out in the yard and probably in parts of my house as well and since I'm always on my phone I don't want to deal with crap service at my house. Any tips, suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] bantzt:
Airwave

Hey, just go talk time them and tell them that u are moved ng to a dead zone and you will switch to at&t if they don't help u. Ask for an Airwave for your house. It is like a mini tower.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] om4:
In a lot of cases they offer it as an incentive to stay, complained for my cousin since she hates dealing with sprint and got one free of charge awhile back
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
All I did was ask for an airave and they sent me one free :D
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] durandetto:
What's the range on an airrave, because I have six acres and want to use my phone in the yard if necessary?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Sloth:
If I remember correctly it's 4000-5000 sqft correct me if I'm wrong
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Scionero:
5000 sounds about right. Which is only about 30-50 feet away. With mine i lose service just after walking out the front door. If you need it for 6 acres, Sprint won't work for you.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] durandetto:
That's what I was afraid of. Now its time to see if sprint will let me go without ETFs. Anyone with suggestions on how to approach them with this request? I just wish the One X had expandable memory then my phone choice would be easy.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] durandetto:
Well, I sent an email. I guess we'll see how it goes.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] durandetto:
So this is the bs generic response I got.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
What I've read is by force roaming and eating up gigs worth of data will make them want to drop you. That or wait for a change in the contract that might have an "adverse affect" like a price increase. I'm looking for loopholes myself.. Best of luck to you!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Chewieez:
On a side note if you do get out of your contract and head to AT&T, they've announced the HTC One X+ which is an upgrade over the One X. I'd look into that before settling on the SGSIII
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] banccalif:
I berated a Sprint rep just yes and now they've flipped the switch on 4g in my area. I'm not going anywhere lol. Not like my rant had anything to do with it, it was perfect timing
[HTC Sensation] Vinny Bacon:
Hey guys,

I'm currently running Sense-O-Maniac on my HTC Sensation. (I'm completely clueless about 99% of rooting, so if you need more info in order to help me, I'd be glad to get the info for you) I'm attempting to flash ViperS , but I keep getting caught in a boot loop after setup. I'm not sure if I'm missing something, or I'm not compatible with the ROM. Any info would help, Thanks in advance!
[HTC Sensation] goatee84:
So you must already be rooted and S-OFF? Sounds like a firmware issue, did you make a nandroid backup before trying to flash ViperS?
[HTC Sensation] Vinny Bacon:
I do have S-OFF (I used revolutionary months ago, and I've neglected my root ever since)

By a nandroid backup you mean the backup that is under "Backup and Recovery" menu? The ones that are named by the date and time it was done? If so than yes, I have multiple of them.
[HTC Sensation] Vinny Bacon:
UPDATE: I just went through the SuperCid process (because to be honest, I don't remember if I've ever done it before. Attempting to flash ViperS now.
[HTC Sensation] Vinny Bacon:
UPDATE: NOPE, Still caused a boot loop, restoring to the backup made earlier today :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] goatee84:
Yep, that's a nandroid. So you've got something to get your phone operational again if necessary. Now that you're superCID I would try installing 3.33 universal firmware from here then reflash ViperS and see what happens. Before you install the firmware double check superCID from bootloader using adb (fastboot getvar cid).

One thing to keep in mind, your nandroid backup will only work with the firmware you were using when you created the backup, so if you wanted to be REALLY careful you could restore your latest nandroid before doing anything else, check firmware version in Settings/About Phone, download a copy of that firmware, THEN try and install new firmware/flash ViperS.

EDIT: Ok just saw your latest post. Since you're restoring a nandroid you can check that firmware version before going any further as mentioned.
[HTC Sensation] Vinny Bacon:
I went to Software Information and found:

ANDROID VERSION : 2.3.5

HTC SENSE VERSION: 3.5

Should I still download that 3.3 universal firmware? If so, what do I do once it's downloaded? Do I have to flash it or anything?

UPDATE:

I clicked the link and read through the tutorial. I'm just not sure if it's still necessary to install that 3.3 firmware.
[HTC Sensation] Vinny Bacon:
IT WORKED!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH! You were such a great help!
[HTC Sensation] goatee84:
There should be another entry under those two you mentioned called Software Number or something similar?

To install firmware, when you boot into bootloader it scans your SD card for PG58IMG file then asks if you want to update. So as long as your firmware file is called PG58IMG.zip it will work.

I glanced at the ViperS thread and it says it's based on 1.11.401.110 RUU, seems that those running the ROM are using the 3.33 firmware.

Great :D enjoy your new ROM, glad I could help :good:
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] TheDoolster:
If it is possible, I am going to try to create a KFHD Theme pack, to look like stock ICS. I will modify the framework-res.apk file tomorrow once I am rooted and create the themepack with all ofthe stock ICS Icons. Combined with a custom launcher, it will be the closest you can get to Stock android besides a custom rom. Who would download it?
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] iaes:
It would be great if you make theme packs. I think a lot of people would enjoy it while waiting for custom builds
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] vzwty:
Doesn't a launcher like Nova already do this?

Sent from my rooted Kindle Fire HD
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] soupmagnet:
Not in the way the OP is talking about. You'll notice, that even with launchers, things like the status bar, settings, and notification menu stay the same. He's trying to edit certain files to change that, and give rooted Kindle Fire HD owners the feeling of running a completely separate OS from the standard KF software.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] dustpop:
glad to hear that, I hope there would have a Chinses version, so if you need Chinese translation, just contact me.
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] Scymynd:
Cool, I'll dowload it
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] data:event:
n00b here - I'd download :good:
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] doriean:
would be awesome

i know both my wife and me would love this ....i really dont like nova or go launcher id download it twice just for your hardwork
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] NewToAndroid2012:
notification menu

I will for sure because when I am using skype I can’t access letter P on my Go-keyboard in Horizontal/Lanscape mode,

It’s hiding behind notification menu as well as other signs.

The same thing happen with multi keyboard, only the kindle “not so good keyboard” Fire HD have the complete keyboard.

I hope you manage to make this KFHD Theme pack, to look like stock ICS so no more notification menu unless we want to

Access it good luck and TIA
[7" Kindle Fire HD General] TheDoolster:
Thanks for your support guys. I have not had much time but I have started on it. And it would not change the position of the status bar or notification bar, just make the home icon and stuff. It would most resemble a galaxy nexus type navbar and status bar.

I know this might sounds crazy or stupid, but this is the second card I've used in tab 2 that suddenly stop working. I can't even format it with a pc because my pc never even recognized it. I've been using this 2nd card for months and it's just dead this morning.

[Galaxy S III Accessories] ModdedS3:
So today my Hyperion battery with NFC came in the mail and I have to tell you I'm quite excited to see how it performs with the battery being so big I was afraid that it would be to thick but I have to say it feels great in the hand has a more premium feel to it adds a little weight to the phone also I would say I'm a very heavy user so this battery should do me while I purchased the whole set up on amazon for about $30 shipped . Now for some pictures
[Galaxy S III Accessories] mynics:
Nice battery, but how about the performance? how long does it last?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ModdedS3:
I will post a screen shot later today but as of right now it's doing great.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ModdedS3:
UPDATE : Here are some screen shots of how it's doing so far .
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Lawyerman:
So far, so good!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Max_Pain:
Ive had my Hyperion for a few weeks and im very happy with it. My past phones all had Seidio but damn this is good and almost 1/4th the price.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy SIII on MetroPCS!
[Galaxy S III Accessories] musikalharmony:
I just got mine yesterday and I must say so far its doing great I love the feel...how is the tpu case with it? Is it too much or just right? I didn't get a case but I want something to protect my screen so ima go head and grab one
[Galaxy S III Accessories] punti_z:
How long does this beast take to charge ?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ModdedS3:
I love the tpu case it fits nice and snug makes . And even with the extended battery and the new back and the tpu case my phone is still no thicker than my dad's HTC thunderbolt with a silicone case

I'm not quite sure when I got the battery had a 64% charge so I charged it up and that's been it tonight will be the first night I will be plugging it in

[Galaxy S III Accessories] misterjimmy:
Those who purchase this extended battery any input on the NFC chip if it is working?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ModdedS3:
Over 8hrs screen time . And I know I could get more cuz I had everything on and brightness all the way up
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ModdedS3:
Yes the NFC works on this battery
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ModdedS3:
My s3 with the 4200mah battery and tpu case is actually no thicker than a thunderbolt
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Grustni:
I have read some reviews about that case, and it seems like people are finding it hard to press volume and power buttons?

what sort of TPU case have you got? and also, the colour of the back cover that comes with the battery looks a bit off :( at least for the pebble blue models, or is it just me? :)
[Galaxy S III Accessories] rlatjs17:
All the Hyperion cases have the button issues. Plus its very thin and I don't think it would provide protection. I would recommend the QCell cases for now since it doesn't have the button issues and its a bit thicker which would provide more protection. I haven't tested the Seidio cases yet. Ill post it on my thread once I get the Seidio battery cover for a review.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ModdedS3:
When I'm getting over 8hrs screen time on a charge with everything turn on and brightness set over have the power button being a little hard to push ... and actually if you get the case break in its just fine .
[Galaxy S III Accessories] khrystyan27:
I really want this.

My S III battery, is kind of... poor.

If the quality is good, this is a must have for a phone like this.
