Lock Screen Troubles - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I am having issues when unlocking my phone
Whenever i click the unlock key it will unlock my phone, however randomly it will shut the screen off, turn it on again, shut it off etc. WIthout even touching the button this is happeneing. It will also occasionally bring up the power menu (cm10) for the phone. I dont think it is a hardware thing because my button feels fine and isnt broken. However i am wondering if it is cm10, i recently changed from stock cm10 to liquidsmooth and it still does it. Any advice would be great.

Did u data wipe/factory reset before u flashed the new ROM?

Yes i did at least through clock work mods factory reset

Have you been using the same kernel through all this?Also is it the correct kernel?

I have been using the same kernel i should probably check to ensure it is correct

Weird problem, home button doesn't work

So two days ago i restarted my phone and after that my home button did nothing.
it would still wake the phone if it was locked. but other than that nothing.
all my settings for the status bar were reset too. (things like which toggles are there and indicator color etc,)
they were all reset to the default. (this includes the data connection getting turned on)
Since then i have tried two different roms and both of them ended up with the same problem.
It always happened on a random reboot. (i.e. it doesn't happen on the 1st reboot, but at a random reboot)
Anyone know what the problem is?
I dont know why this happens and there is no other way then to flash a new rom.
Wipe everything in recovery and flash a new rom thats the only solution!!

I haven't been,
usually i my max is 729 which has always worked fine.
but after this problem started i did go down to stock (600)
but the problem still occurs
729 is ok.
It might be due kernel or some app with root access.
Someone who cook Roms could explain the reason!!
Edit: Btw Which rom and kernel are you using??
Take provision.apk from the ROM's zip and put it in /system/app/
After that, set it's permissions to rw-r--r--(644) and reboot

I had this the other week, along with a couple of other little problems, ended up being that only factory reset would fix it. Don't know why it keeps coming back for you though.

Help, galaxy s2x doesnt shut off completly

I was having problems with the GPS on my Koodo Galaxy S2X phone that I decided to do a factory reset on it.
The reset worked fine and then I reinstalled all my apps, all good.
except that now when I want to restart or power off the unit, it gets stuck somewhere and the hard buttons stay lit and I have to remove the battery to turn it off.
If I keep the power button pressed long enough it will reboot.
Any ideas how I can solve this?
I thought of doing a new factory reset just in case something went awol in the previous one but in the screen to do the factory reset after pressing the button "ERASE" nothing happens.
If I select to format the USB drive, a message does come up saying that its formating and then nothing.
The unit is not locked because I can continue to use it normaly. And no reset is done.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The unit is rooted but has the stock koodo ics 4.0.4 in it.
Could this have something to do with the root?
Any help would be appreciated.

Ever find an answear to your problem? Having the same issue. For now I am simply not shuting down my phone because I am sure that pulling out the battery in the midst of a shutdown if probably not good for it.

I solved my problem by installing a new ROM (koodo v3 rom) but after doing that I think if I just had used the SUPERWIPE script might have been enough to reset the device.
At least the GPS works great now with this ROM.

Hi,
I've the same problem at the moment with my new s2x. I've tried restoring to the my original rom and I've also tried a different rom (Koodo v4) and the phone still won't turn off properly (the bottom button lights keep lit).
I was wondering if anyone could help. How exactly do I work the SUPERWIPE and what exactly does it entail? Sorry I'm quite new to all this just bought my first android yesterday. Thanks.
Superwipe is run with TWS or clockwork. I dont know exactly what it does but it fixed my problem.

Thanks Martelo, I used Darkside superwipe (link here), reinstalled rom and it finally shuts off now.

[Q] CM10, alternate kernels?

Ive had a long running problem with my tf101, where it sometimes dies with its asleep. Simply, i tap the power button to put it to sleep when im not using it, and when i come back to use it, i tap the power button to bring it back, and nothing. I have to hold the power button for 10 or so seconds to get it to reset. Seems like its freezing before it goes to sleep. Its done it on any rom i flash, so i dont think its a rom issue.
I'm running CM10 nightlies. Im wondering if this is a kernel problem, so i tried flashing the KAT kernel found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1841851
It booted, but killed my wifi. I tried a few things to resolve the wifi issue. Cleared cache/dalvik, wiped all data, nothing helped. Restored my cwm backup from before the kernel install, and wifi came back.
Im having trouble determining what kernels are ok to use with CM10. Does it matter? Did i maybe run into some other issue with KAT that wasnt specifically a kernel problem?
Thanks!

[help] Phone turn off

guys i need your help, i already faced this problem for a very long time.
My phone turn off by itself and when i turn on after the cyanogen logo it only takes 5 seconds and it turns off again, sometimes it didnt turn off and i can use it for about 1 day and while i am using my phone it turns off by itself and when i open it turns off again and again and it happened for about 15 times before i can use my phone (not turning off) . in stock rom when i use camera flash my phone turns off (sometimes not but most of the time turns off) i already did all hoping to solved the issue, wipe cache, dalvik cache, re flash the rom, format data/system when installing a rom etc..... i already tried all version of our device recovery, CWM and TWRP but still i'm facing the same issue. i already flash all the roms in our device from stock to custom, from ginger bread to kitkat but still the problem was there. i already bring my phone into the repair shop but they dont know what is the problem they said all the parts of the phone was good no need to replace anything. torch app works, only when i take picture in stock rom and use camera flash after pressing the capture button the phone turns off.i have 2 batteries but both of them didnt solve the issue. i really need your help:crying::crying::crying:
Can power controller? Had a similar case from a friend, as a result no longer included.
Repair was equivalent to the cost of the device.

I say that not as. It was cheaper to buy a new phone than to repair. He just gave me his for parts.
Try more serious service center. Otherwise you can end badly.

if i am right the problem you have is the POWER button
sometimes that button can be stuck and it makes sense for you because you say it reboots after cm logo
if when it reboots it vibrates as well, definitely the power button is the problem
and when it works means you unstuck it
just go to a service center and ask them to replace the button, its pretty cheap

Help! Can't factory reset/ phone locks constantly after update

Hey
I just updated to the new lolipop via the sony software I was in the phone fine then done a reboot and now it loads and get to the lock screen I unlock the phone and it locks again automatically after a second.
I cant really do anything at all now or use the phone. I dont the reboot because Wifi wasn't connecting after the update.
Ive tried doing a factory reset but the screen on boot doesnt seem to be coming up either. whats the correct process just so I can confirm im doing it right. I just want to wipe it!
I held volume key down and powered on. and the screen will just flash and reboot.. so pretty much i cant do anything to fix it
Fixed luckily I had wheres my droid installed and setup and could do a remote factory wipe! .. now everytime i open settings it stops working and crashes. anyone have any idea how to fix that?
Im trying to do a repair now using sony companion
