I'm on OTA leak and I'm trying to minimize my homescreens to just 3 screens... When I pinch in on my home screen to minimize and drag the screens to the the trash bin it gives me a TW Force close pop up.. I've cleared the cache in TW itself but no luck... Also my wife has the same phone with same software officially dropped from VZW with this same issue... Any suggestion would help.... Thanks...

I just restored my phone to stock(4.0.4), took the JB ota(I am selling my gs3). I just tried what you are describing. It worked fine without issue. Maybe do a factory restore?
Can also hit menu button and edit page. If FC' agree do factory reset.
Thanks guys had to do a factory reset... Wonder if this is an issue other folks have been dealing with also...

There's a possiblity the touch screen is starting to go out. What I would do first off is factory data reset, because there's also the possibility its a program interfering. After fdr, if the problem still exists, then that rules out the possibility of program interference. You'll need to get in contact with vzw and tech support will tell you to factory data reset yet again,and then send you a replacement
It's not your digitizer if the touch is working fine elsewhere. Your framework apk is likely corrupted, but not enough to warrant a force close, which is why you can see the dropdown bar but not pull it down. I would try flashing a stock ROM, or if you're not comfortable with that taking it back to Verizon.

Agreed. But I should mention that systemui controls status bar. But a factory reset should fix the problem.

Completely stock skyrocket, for whatever reason a couple times a week my screen will go completely black and won't be able to unlock. The only way to get it working again is too remove the battery. In this state I still hear txt tones and such, but no buttons will brig the screen back.

What have you done to your phone so far? Root? Install ROM? Kernel? OC? UV?
All of these things will be useful to know when trying to solve it.

First 2 words of my post "completely stock". No roms, kernals, or flash. Just straight out of the box phone with 2.3.6 update through att

That honestly sounds like a sleep death, which definitely should NOT happen on a stock rom... If you can I would definitely take that phone back to ATT or wherever you got it to get it replaced.

Could a app cause this? Think it started after I downloaded ICS keyboard. The screen sometimes goes black when I unlock it, but its not a deep dark black like the sleep mode, when this happens if I hit the back button, it fixes it. So I switched which ics keyboard o use now, so hope it stops both issues

i had 2 stock sgh-i727r completely unmodified do this. i did factory resets and issues re-occurred. could have been app related but i was having it with no apps after.
didnt bother troubleshooting more than a hour, took it to rogers as both phones had problems < 15 days of getting the phone
first one lasted just 12 hours, rogers store did a DOA replacement and got it right away.
2 weeks later, my replacement sgh-i727r had the same problem. called rogers, got my replacement in 3 days.
so far so good.
rogers chalked it up to hardware issue after asking if i had rooted the phone each time.
This happened to me for the first time ever, yesterday.
I received a text. Phone made a notification sound, but then the screen would not come on. I could hear keys and notification sounds, but no visuals.
I took the battery out and now all is ok again.
I am on a stock 2.3.5 Rogers ROM.
if this problem persists, follow these steps.
Backup apps with titanium backup, but only the ones with information u really need
export contacts to sd
download darkside to sd
boot into cwm and flash darkside
reboot the phone BUT RIGHT BACK INTO ODIN.
Flash the stock rom or one of the pre-rootex ones
Problem solved :-D

This EXACT thing happened to my skyrocket and my friends on our bone stock phones.. We have both since flashed quick wiz rom onto our phone and has not happened a single time... The problem? ATT Sucks... just flash your phone
This started happening to me today and it has happened more than 4 times now :/ I get the notification... BLN comes on but I can't turn on the screen. If I click the power button or volume buttons, the backlights go off for a few seconds and then come back on. This is getting really annoying
Edit: Rebooted the phone just now and it happened AGAIN on the first text I received... wtff is this
Hey, guys. I've been having an issue for quite some time where my screen turns completely back and my phone freezes up. The only way to fix this is to do a live battery pull. It happens at least once a day. Not rooted. Running official ICS ROM. Can anyone help? I appreciate it.

was it like that b4 the update
you can do a factory reset too see if that helps but you will lose all your apps you have install and your settings, back them up first.
if its still the same looks like warranty repair
By chance, does this happen during a call or right after?

What apps have you opened prior to the black screen

Sounds like sleep of death or whatever it's called, tho I didn't have it for ages. I'd agree with the factory reset to see if the issue is resolved.
Has anyone noticed some super slow screen rotations? Also, on the home screen, are you able to auto rotate? My MoPho Q is acting funny after flashing some stock system images and updating(Mine freezes and reboot loops sometimes). If anyone has any issues with their screen having rotate lag please post here, thanks!
I havent experienced any of those issues... I have rooted deodexed and otherwise stock phone. Maybe try to reflash?

Thanks for replying. I have been reflashing stuff all day, nothing seems stable. Had phone up for 10 hours then started reboot looping. I formatted my sd card and did factory reset, tried 3 or 4 different ways of recovering everything so idk what else to do. I am just now re-rooting and trying deodexed, making backups every step of the way(beyond frustrated).

Wow that's no fun... how bad is the auto rotate lag? It takes mine about .2 seconds, not long but there is a slight delay. And the only way I can rotate the home screen is if I slide the keyboard out. I was looking into making my own ROM but didn't figure it out. I'm hoping for one soon, maybe that would fix for your problem too.

Just recently I've been having problems with my screen not rotating back after sliding out the keyboard. Sometimes it doesn't rotate at all. I'm just rooted with the latest update also. Don't know why this is happening.
I've had that a couple times, usually it goes away on its own. I tried turning rotation on/off, forcing it back to portrait mode using apps that only run in portrait, cycling lock screen on and off, finally it just started fixing it self after a reboot or time.

Haha, did exact same things. And you're right. Hasn't happened in awhile.
Just wanted to confirm that I have problems with this too. Sometimes I get tired of waiting to the point that I open the keyboard to force landscape mode.
Good morning everyone...
Hope all is well..
My cousin's S3 is unrooted. Yesterday he said it froze up on him... No buttons work, however, if you take the battery out and put it back in, the phone will power back up, comes all the way on up to the home screen, but nothing works, no buttons, no reaction from touching the screen or anything.
Verizon is blaming it on Nova.
I know better, Nova is flawless in my opinion.
Anyone experienced this problem? know of any fixes?

There may be an option in recovery to get to download mode, from there he can Odin back to stock.
Buttons not working doesn't sound like a problem a rom can cause. Did it get wet, fall? Did it start to update and it was interrupted? Curious.

Stock recovery should be able to perform a factory reset. Try that and if it doesn't work read up on Odin to go back completely to stock. If that fails you are likely looking at hardware failure. My guess is the factory reset will fix it for you.
I'd try to go into stock recovery by pressing power, home and volume up buttons....wipe davlick cache
