Help my screen wont turn off - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

My screen won't turn off or go to the lock screen unless I use the lock screen toggle in my notification bar deluxe set of toggles. Even with using this toggle the screen still wont turn off.

Rebooted into stock recovery then accidentally hit reboot system and once it finished rebooting the problem was fixed. Weird.

What rom are you running? If its stock try a factory reset because I haven't heard of that issue for as long as the phone has been out

Take the back cover off and try to connect it to the computer, play around a bit with taking out the battery etc, with a bit of luck it will turn on. Otherwise you need to get your powerbutton replaced... taking apart your phone is not all that difficult. Good luck.

Unable to download/update apps while screen is off

I am unable to download/update apps while screen is off. This is happening on both wife and 3g. I have verified wifi advanced settings and wifi is set to always on during sleep.
For ex. Suppose I have 4 apps which got update in play store. If I hit update all button the download will start but the rest of the apps stop updating as soon as the screen turns off. I have to keep my screen set to on to update all the apps. Does any one also has similar problem?
My mobile is on stock ICS and unrooted. Please help me.

I guess this can be attributed to your phone going in deep sleep mode but a little too early

And when the screen turns on, do the updates resume?

It's a bit extreme but do a factory reset. There's nothing obviously wrong with your setup and you're all stock. I guess some bug has crept in due to some app you're using.
Go into wifi settings and then press the menu key. Go into advanced settings and set wifi on while sleep to always. Problem is wifi is turning off when your screen turns off. This will stop this from happening.

But the OP says he has already checked the advanced settings.
Maybe there is a Smartrule set that is turning off wifi when the screen goes off. Should check active Smartrules also.

I don't have any rules setup to turn off wifi...I am getting email alerts even when display is off. It seems to be problem with apps on updating.

Maybe you should take a look at your router. Settings, etc. Difficult to say what's causing the issue.
Are u using any battery saver app?

I don't think it is problem with my router settings..because it is working on other android devices (Nexus S and Galaxy Y) in my home.

I had this issue and as Jboxer mentioned it was indeed the advanced wifi sleep settings however in your case since all options are now tried out and you say the wifi sleep settings are also in place, best bet as Athani suggested would be to do a factory reset.

[Q] Factory reset breaks sensors. (RESOLVED)

I'm having a problem where if I do a factory reset, it makes my sensors go off. It shows the gyroscope rotating by itself and the accelerometer shows that I am leaning the device away from me on a flat surface. The only way to fix is to use my backup on bonestock 3.0. It doesn't matter what ROM I use or what version, it won't go away after doing the reset. Calibrating does nothing.

I fixed it! Spamming the calibrate button seems to eventually forces the system to stop using old miscalibrated files.

Blue Screen Flash

When ever I press the power button to switch in the screen, a blue flash appears very quickly. Just wanted to know if it means anything and if there is a fix.
