I cannot. I believe the symptoms manifests in low signal environments, with the mobile network running. Turn off mobile data to test.

Some swear by it, but I lack the knowledge to validate it, as I am not an electrical engineer.

Much of this comes down to your tolerance for pain. I just bought the Note 3 due to this exact issue. Others have returned their phones because of it. Some replacements end up with this same problem, or busted power buttons.

If you have the desire to keep your phone and the ability to try the fix, then back up everything on it, and execute the procedure; or find someone who can.

Other options are turning off mobile networks whenever possible, trying to get a replacement, or...

Get another phone. The used marketplace is teaming with good deals on S3s, use an upgrade, get a granny phone. You have choice.

I hope that some of this is helpful.

Good luck!

The only REAL fix that I was able to get is sending it back to Sammy and they replaced the PBA(motherboard). This is after sending it back to them two other times and they replaced the LCD screen and mini-jack. I just got it back and gave it to my wife when I got the S3, and immediately she said that in 3g areas it did the phantom menu. After calling and telling them two returns is unacceptable, they expedited the repair, fixed the RIGHT thing this time, and in over a month, there's been zero issues. Not sure if this is an option for anyone as you may be out of warranty, just passing on what finally worked for me. Good luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] subaru4wd:
I have had this issue, non-stop, for the past year. It has gotten worse so I contacted samsung and sent my D710 to them to have it repaired.

They replaced the screen, sent it back but immediately (while trying to activate with Sprint) my phone began the phantom menu button. Not only the menu, but I also get phantom search & back key presses. I sent the phone back to samsung, again, and this time they replaced the PBA and still, i have the phantom issue. I called samsung but wont send the phone back a 3rd time. So I visit the sprint store after finding these threads, and the sprint tech replaces my screen again (free of charge) and before I even start my car to leave the parking lot... phantom key presses all over again.

I am convinced there is no fix for this, other than a hardware hack. I tried the magnet trick you guys speak of, but it did not change a single thing. I can trigger the phantom key press by simply sending (or receiving) a text message. It makes it near impossible to have a text-conversation with anybody.

My last resort is to sell the phone on ebay or craigslist to some unsuspecting fool, and replace it with a HTC or some other brand who actually understand RF interference and how stupid it would be to place the 3G antenna anywhere near such a sensitive chip.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CentralVAHere:
So Jared is your "fix" still working???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] woodz93:
Still going...

One month later, my phone is still going with no issues. YMMV, as oddly enough all these phones act differently, even though they are the same model... some have fixed it by doing odd things such as disabling wifi/force gpu renderization while some change roms, etc., things that really don't make sense if you think of what's causing it to begin with.

I quoted his fix on another thread, but on that thread I tried another thing and that is a different modem, that had a degree of success to it. You can try that. Yet another one is to completely disable the capacitive buttons completely, which, as it states, will eliminate the problem (and your buttons) for good :good: .
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jc.m:
In my phone everything works fine with no problems, I think the only way to find out if it work is to try it, if it doesn't work for you will not hurt to try since you don't have any other choice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] CentralVAHere:
Yeah I'm going to try it and post results here. I am waiting on some of those plastic safe pry tools to help me open it up professionally. Once done I will post. Thanks again for at least offering a glimmer of hope.

I still can't figure out why this problem wouldn't be there from day one. I mean why does it take a few months (my case and apparently what has happened to others) for the problem to show up? Makes no sense.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ipaq3115:
I apologize for bringing this old thread back up to the top but I just had to say a huge thanks jc.m! My dad's and my E4GTs had the phantom keypress problem to the point where they were practically unusable and now they are working flawlessly. I feel like this post should be in a sticky somewhere...

Oh yeah, and you need a donate button there jc.m ;) Major props for figuring this out.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] llucis:
another "fix" to consider

Running in this phantom button pressing issue recently myself and digging around I found another apparently successful hardware fix aiming at correcting/improving the RF shielding, shown here on this youtube video (ouch, cannot post the link, just search on youtube for "Samsung Phantom Menu Pop Up $5 FIX")

It's true that it involves removing the base board in order to apply the foil around that chip, but it seems to make a bit more sense than attaching a piece of magnet strip to the end of that flex connector - and who knows, perhaps a combination of the two methods actually works even better :).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] EpicLordPhone:
I had the ghost menu problem too, but all I did was fully wipe everything on my phone, and it seemed to rid the problem, dunno if this could be the problem for all of you, but it worked for me, so maybe whoever is having the problem may want to try it
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] BIGSAMDA1ST:
Here is a working link. Good find [emoji6]

Samsung Phantom Menu Pop Up $5 "FIX": http://youtu.be/8MR5bUVog5g
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] metalshreds:
I think that video definitely gets at the root of the problem, I just did it to my phone yesterday and I have not had a single instance of phantom menu being pressed. Before, I would constantly feel the vibrations from the phantom key presses.

I used electrical tape, then a square of anti-static bag, then the tin foil and then another piece of electrical tape.

Good luck!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] czechpunk:
I know the source code has not yet dropped (or maybe it has and I'm doing it wrong) but supposedly this will work with any AMOLED display. Not sure if it's just an app or if it involves framework mods (I'm sure it will need them on CM/AOKP/AOSP).
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] x0ne215:
http://www.xda-developers.com/andro...tive-display-on-4-3-with-activenotifications/

Closest thing to it atm ^
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] blackwing182:
AMOLED display says it all AMOLED is A Screen type and not the Notification Light. You are confused
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] czechpunk:
Derp...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] czechpunk:
Nope, I understand that - which is exactly what ActiveDisplay does - manipulates the AMOLED screen to allow for notifications to come through without actually waking the phone.

That 3rd party app kind of works but not like I thought, granted it's in a beta state at the moment. I was reading on another thread that there are a few tweaks needed for framework, etc to get the Motorola app to work without Motoblur, but I'm sure they'll get it to work properly eventually.

All of that being said - I'm going ask that a dev to close this thread, since there seems to be enough discussion about this in the non-device specific forums.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kramdens:
... VERY disappointing. The door for the sim/sd card slots does not remain closed firmly. Within minutes it slow starts popping out. Not exactly what I want for a water proof phone!!!

Will probably have to replace it. Has anyone else seen this with their Xperia?? Any suggestions aside from sending it back?

thanks
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Hardcore73:
I am sure you already made sure the SIM was inserted all the way. Try using something hard like a book to push against the side to close the flap and see if it closes properly.

No issues with mine.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kramdens:
No dice. Tried everything. Just keeps popping out :(
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
push tightly !!!a little up and down....and it snaps into place !

I got kind of the same with charger plug....Shut tightly :mad:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kramdens:
thank you. I will try that the next time it pops out.... which should be in about 5 minutes lol
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] avetny:
hahahaha!!!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Andrewtst:
You probably didn't close nicely, mine never pop-out by itself.

The cap close is much tide and better than Xperia Z for me, it is well design and tide nicely.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mcteague:
The door on my charging port protrudes a tiny bit but can be pushed in further, its a matter of holding it for a few minutes to get it to stay and not pop out. i have informed my supplier for warranty purposes.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kramdens:
Ugh.. still pops open, although it's got a little bit better..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] gunblazer:
Wait a minute is this for real? On my ZU all my flaps snap in super shut and takes a bit of force to peel them off, way more secure than my Z.

Is this a really isolated issue?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kramdens:
I hope it's isolated. It's incredibly frustrating.. pops open all day.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] kramdens:
I have a choice, I can send it back and exchange it.. all the way from Canada to Hong Kong... are the seller will credit me $70 dollars back for the hassle, and I'd have to put it in some sort of case or tpu to keep the door from coming off.. water proof it is not tho!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] madAdam6LOVE:
Google's new Android Device Manager is live.

We can now remotely ring, and erase, our phones without third-party security apps.

To enable your phone for remote management go to Settings>Security>Device administrators and check Androind Device Manager.

Then go to this site to remotely control your phone.

I've been using avast! Mobile Security but I'm considering using Android Device Manager instead.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Redflea:
Device manager is limited compared to things like Cerberus, but it's free and integrated, which is nice. Finds accurate location for me.

[HTC One VX] jmz:
Two things to note.

1. This is specifically for JB firmware. So if you have flashed RUU or my firmware package and you are S-ON this is the only option available to you. If you are on ICS still use Facepalm S-OFF.

2. No need to run this at all unless you are S-ON. No need to do it after firmware upgrade as you keep S-OFF.
[HTC One VX] zeratos:
Copuld anybody share your ADB and fastboot drivers? I can't find anything on google for this damn phone. >_<
[HTC One VX] jmz:
Use the Google drivers in android sdk
[HTC One VX] zeratos:
I already tried them, I also tried the ones that comes with PDANet and the HTC Sync program, no dice.
[HTC One VX] jmz:
Step by step. When you plug your phone in, what happens and what do you do?
[HTC One VX] zeratos:
1.- Turn on phone

2.- "HTC Quietly Brilliant" logo comes up

3.- Phone Reboots forever

1.- Turn phone with power + volumen -

2.- Turns to HBOOT

3.- Factory Reset

4.- HTC logo and phone reboots forever

1.- Powered off phone

2.- Insert USB cable

3.- HTC logo comes up and phone reboots forever

4.- No sound nor notification comes up on windows

1.- Turn phone with power + volumen -

2.- Turns to HBOOT

3.- Select FASTBOOT

4.- Connect USB cable

5.- Windows takes it as "Android 1.0" device

6.- Doesn't find drivers on Windows Update and it doesn't find anything whenever I choose the location for the drivers

7.- FASTBOOT never changes to FASTBOOT USB

Those are all the scenarios.
[HTC One VX] jmz:
Right click one Android 1.0 on device manager and update drivers. Choose browse my computer for driver software. Then hit let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer. Then hit have disk. find the inf file for the google drivers in the sdk. It should update now and should work
[HTC One VX] zeratos:
Yeah, no. It doesn't work. Neither that nor letting windows update look for the files nor letting the PC scan for files.
[HTC One VX] fatboyRICH:
Try using Linux. For example an Ubuntu live CD. ADB and Fastboot are installed by default in most newer versions of Ubuntu.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Metera:
Hi,

i will start at the beginning. i got my S4 (i9505) with contract and branding Germany - Deutsche Telekom.

Today i rooted it with CF-autoroot and put twrp recovery in it - It was working.

Then i tried to flash Hox Hound Rom - bootloop. So i made a factory reset, wipe dalvik cache, cache. Put the battery out for about 3 min - many many times Still bootloop.

then i decided to go back to stock rom for a clean install - bootloop. (I9505XXUBMF8_I9505OXABMF8_I9505XXUBMF8_HOME.tar)

i can go to Download mode and recovery sometimes the recovery doesn't show up just the wallpaper.

Can someone PLEASE help.

Right now im downloading another stock rom ..

thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Flash Philz Touch recovery with Odin 3.04 in downloadmode, that should solve your problem.Link http://d-h.st/wSF. TWRP and CWM are buggy atm. After that you can flash Fox Hound Rom again.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samersh72:
did odin says "pass"?

bootloop fix:

-wipe cache and data from recovery, if not,

-restore nandroid backuo if present. if not,

-flash stock firmware with odin, make wipe after flashing, if not,

-flash pit file with the firmware in odin, make wipe after flashing.

i too am interested
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] sbdags:
Multi window is currently touch whiz framework dependent. Unless someone ports the touchwhiz framework from samsung to Asus (hasn't happened so far) you have little chance of seeing multi window functionality. Even then it only works with Samsung specific apps........

Someone has ported the sony small apps which gives you some floating apps like a note pad, calendar, calculator. I may have a go at porting these as hardslog has already defined how to do it....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] arrowthefirst:
xposed

there is a module on xposed, it works, but is crappy

and, it is not a samsung framework, there is a plenty of roms with multiwindow, but prime almost doesnt have a development and therefore doesnt have that feature
[Asus Transformer TF700] duckredbeard:
I was running CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.something. I had just rebooted the tablet, battery was around 95%. I launched an app while reboot was still going on, as evidenced by the toasts that came up regarding superuser permissions.

And then it happened. The display went blank. I still had sound. Hardware buttons did nothing until I held the power button down. Device went into reboot and stalled at the bootanimation. More than 5 minutes went by so I rebooted into recovery.

While in recovery, I poked around for a backup to revert to. I have misplaced my recovery SD card...but no big deal. I was considering updating to CleanROM Inheritance 3.4.7. I downloaded that from the interwebs, copied it to an SD, then booted the device into recovery and flashed it. The flashing process had no issues and I rebooted the device.

Now the device is still doing the same thing. Still stuck at the bootanimation. Been another 5 minutes on this one too.

I compel thee to opine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Sounds like something got corrupted. Might be worth doing a factory reset and reflash the rom to see if it boots?
[Asus Transformer TF700] duckredbeard:
Factory reset from recovery. Reflashed 3.4.7. Rebooted to clean install. Joy.

Ty sdbags...you rock. Now that I'm at square one again I should go with a 4.2.2 ROM.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I reckon so ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] duckredbeard:
I shall get everything to an SD card and do it at work tonight. Is everything done from flashing or do I need a PC interface ?
[Asus Transformer TF700] JoinTheRealms:
Yeah you need to flash twrp with fastboot, download stock firmware from asus unzip it and flash it with twrp then re-flash twrp again with fastboot (the asus firmware zip will wipe twrp) then install CROMi-X ;)
[Asus Transformer TF700] duckredbeard:
Δεν είμαι σίγουρος αν κατάλαβα καλά όλα αυτά.

Yeah means I need a PC or just do it all from TWRP recovery (I think I have 2.3.1). I was looking at the CROMi-X thread and didn't see any need for a PC if I am already running a custom recovery and ROM. I might just stick with what I have for now...don't want to get in too deep. Been a while since I've done anything with the TF700 anyway, barely even used it last month.

If I can't do it all from flashing from recovery, I need to do more thinking and reading before I do anything else.

Thanks again for your support.
[Asus Transformer TF700] JoinTheRealms:
Oh I actually didnt see The bootloader package on the Cromi-x thread, that should work fine. I tried this method long ago, but my bootloader package didn't have a custom recovery included so i still needed to use a pc to fastboot one on. The cromi one should be fine
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Yes I prepared the recovery and bootloader as one so as long as you have any custom recovery installed you can use my package to get to the right supported versions. Twrp 2.6 still has issues hence why I haven't upgraded yet.
[Asus Transformer TF700] duckredbeard:
I have done all the flashing. All is good. I am happy with the update but I need to thin out my apps. I am curious why there isn't an advanced power menu (shutdown, reboot, recovery, hot boot).
[Asus Transformer TF700] JoinTheRealms:
You on Cromi yet? 4.7 certanly does, power menu looks like this

power off

restart

-reboot

-hot boot

-bootloader

-recovery

You can easily take a backup of your imei with 5iromtoolbox , but you must be root your phone or flash a custom rom based on GB , then easily you can take a backup of your imei.
