Crazy Backbutton

Hello,
my Backbutton activates itself. While I am watching Videos, or whatever I do it stops shining and I am out of every application I'm using. After about half a minute it's shining again and I can use it normally. It's like pushing the button multiple times. Does anyone has an idea how to fix it? I tried different roms but it looks like an hardware failure to me.

Happened to me as well it is an issue sometimes with samsung but covered under warranty bring it in to sprint
Hit the thanks button if i helped

Sending it back for support is not an option for me. I imported my device from the US to Germany. The support at Samsung Germany told me that they are not responsible for AMOLED devices.
My second problem ist that my IMEI is crashed since I flashed a rom where the dev made a little mistake. So Samsung won't give me any support.
I thought about changing the display but the price for a new one is about 190 Euro. Way too much... I can assemble and disassemble the device but I think that cleaning the device will not solve the problem.
Any suggestions?

It has nothing to do with the display though.
That's likely the part failing:

Verify that the one you currently have isn't simply not connected right.

Thank you. I will have a look if the part is not right connected.
Maybe I have to replace it. But in that case 25 Euro are much cheaper than 190.

This happened to me once. A day later my display completely died. I could turn on my phone, answer calls, etc the touchscreen worked, but I couldnt see anything. I had to get a new one..

I had this problem too.
I flashed a different radio, and boom!! issue resolved

I occasionally get this too. It only comes up when I'm using cm/cm based kernels though, very odd. I'm on matrix right now and it seems to Beowulf, anybody have some tips or suggestions?

I tried a different kernel and it looks like the problem is solved. I know that you should not count your chickens before they are hatched. But I really think that the kernel was the problem.
Anyway, I am just happy that my phone is working properly.
And now I am waiting for jellybean.

What kernel were you using?

It was not the Kernel!
Changing the radio solved the problem.

I don't see how the kernel would have anything to do with the backbutton. Although if it worked out then hey that's awesome. Amazing how much I have learned by reading the forums on this site.:victory:

Just clean off the the backbutton, and maybe it will stop or you have a software bug.

Tapatalk runs like garbage on VZW s3, anyone else?

It gets to the point where I can't scroll down it lags so bad and then it eventually force closes. I've only heard one other person complain of this same issue with a semi solution of force closing it and clearing out cache in app manager, but it happens so frequently now. Ugh. Anyone else have this problem and maybe a possible solution?

yeah my xda app does the same thing (tapatalk hosted I think) I was wondering the same thing.

There has been threads on this.. i think the new version is broken..esp on picture heavy threads

Ran like crap on my Inc with ICS too. Just installed today's update of XDS, hopefully it's better.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Yes this is a dupe, something isn't coded properly in the app it seems. Hopefully the last update fixed it, I haven't had any issues since the update.
Edit: update did not fix it, mine just started lagging again.

Mine works great, even on pic heavy threads.
I've had the last 2 or 3 rapid fire updates. But I haven't had any issues w/ tapatalk ever.

Tapatalk has been ****ty for the last few weeks. The most recent update seems to have cured most issues, although I have the occasional lockup still.
Def not a gs3 problem though. My note and razr do the same thing.

Mine still slowed down after the update

When this happens to me I just kill the app and reopen it and its much smoother.
Sent from my Thrive using Tapatalk 2

Seems like when I ask it to do something before it's finished loading, it crashes.
Other than testing my patience, it's chugging along just fine for me. I rarely use it though.

It's the app and not our phones. Same thing happens on Nexus 7 using Jelly bean, which is super smooth in every other app. I'm half tempted to just use the website but XDA is a pretty heavy Site.

I have more of a issue that I saw the CPU used to jump to 30+% while idle

Not for me! I just came from the Motorola razr and tapatalk ran like crap on that! Runs like a dream on the gs3

This is why I use XDA Free 1.4.2
Didn't have any of these problems. I edited the app name so that it wouldn't bug me for updates and I've been a happy camper since!

Tapatalk = garbage. Xda needs to get a mobile site so we don't have to use this trash.

When this starts happening, I suggest you go to the applicationxmanager and clear the cache for tapatalk. Clearing the cache has considerably helped the app perform fadter and smoother overall.

Scrolling is very sticky

I've noticed that when scrolling through the XDA app that it is really sticky. Is it the app or my phone? I'm stock rooted with Google wallet & Google now running
Thanks

Haven't tried the XDA app, but Tapatalk is miserable. They are basically the same aren't they? I hate Tapatalk so much, but it's the only thing like it out there. So many issues like force closing, pictures not loading, lag and sticky scrolling like you mentioned. Don't know what to tell you. I've been dealing with it for almost a year now.

I've used Tapatalk as well and notice the same thing. I don't understand how scrolling text can be so sticky. It's so irritating that I tend to wait until I can get on my computer just to view the latest info.

The XDA just behaves poorly on our phone. I notice a good deal of lag within the app on a daily basis, general performance just isn't that good.

I'm not sure what's meant by sticky scrolling :-/
As in you can't throw the page when scrolling and it continues moving? Mine does as usual with Euroskank's build, unsure if that's related

I appreciate it good looking out .

I'm running RLS7 now. I think it has a few more bugs than RLS6. I would try reinstalling it. I can't get my notification (text) sounds to work. It just keeps vibrating. I also can't seem to keep Weatherbug widget working for more than a hour.

In calls low mic?..no one can hear you

People constantly complain they cannot hear me and I have to talk loudly.. I haven't tested it yet on the other end. But is if a software or hardware issue?..

I have a similar issue too, but then I noticed that it's because of how I hold the phone. It may be the case that your finger or palm is covering up the microphone.

Others have experienced the same issue, including me. I found that switching my rom to Cataclysm fixed the problem completely. The other thread is here :
