4.3 OTA MF1 - screen vibrates after closing. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

So it seems after the update the my screen does two quick vibrations. Idk why, it seems random, almost like if we touch the screen while it's off. Idk. It's freakin annoying. Any thoughts? Thanks

If you took the ota and did not do a factory reset after you are almost certainly going to have weird settings you didn't have before. My girlfriends alarm also flashes the flash its actually kind of nice because it wakes you up fast.

Can you post a screenshot of the about phone section in settings? Cause if your on 4.3 you should not have your baseband be MF1.

SCREEN

Idk if anybody has really had this happen ever on their android phone. Sometimes the color of my screen will be pink. Now just a while ago it was blue. Like everything is blue. Is this water damage or what?

I never had that issue with mine.
Though, I did have the phantom line at the bottom of the screen when I was running MIUI.

Mine had a yellow hue once. Fixed just by the pressing the power button on and off and back on. Never had it happened just that time like 3 days ago.

It happens to mine from time to time....first pink a couple of times then blue...freaked out when I first saw it but if I change screen brightness it goes away...doesn't matter what ROM...
Someone posting about this a week or so ago and he said he was unrooted stock....
Btw: I took a screen shot thinking it would come out and I'd post a pic here but the screen was perfect....

Mine did this when I started using MIUI, until then I never had this problem. Just turning the screen on and off seemed to fix it but I'm curious as to if it's actually hardware or something in the ROM. My infuse isn't that old.
Yeah, it's happened to me about 3 times, 2 yellow, one BRIGHT purple.
It only happens on full brightness too, as soon as you touch the brightness meter, it goes away.
Note to self, set brightness just a notch below full.

Wasn't that as I never flashed those bootloaders ....
As for brightness I always keep mine at 50% or lower...

Have had the pink screen a few times myself. I just hit the power button, into sleep mode, then back out of sleep mode, and no issues. I'm running Infused, and auto brightness.
Happened to me once. Went pink...when I was on dlev. Rebooted and fine after that.

Noticed with my Captivate I had this issue with some roms when I was on CM7 and DG. When I would do a update it would go away.

Unresponsive screen

Anyone experiences randomly unresponsive touch screen after wake the device or try to pick up a call?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
Are you rooted? Custom ROM? How many background apps were running at time? I have had it go blank on me but it is always looking at Facebook pics....needs update....anyway..but never unresponsive. On that note let me update my sig so everyone will know my specs.
I have heard of people complaining about this when there phone is plugged in but not otherwise maybe a bug? Or defective

Screen turns black

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?
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda premium
What apps have you opened prior to the black screen
Sent from my SGH-I727 using xda premium
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.

[Q] Possible Power Button going out????

So lately ive been flashing roms like crazy trying to find the perfect one for me, and ive been having some issues with the phone locking up after i locked the screen and trying to get it unlocked again. the haptic buttons light up but the screen stays black. Just now it happened and the camera flash blinked a few times. It may just be a glitch within the rom. Im using Beanstalk 2.5 at the moment by the way, but have read where the power button could be the issue. I've looked at prices online for it and have seen it for $.99 to as much as $40. dont know what the difference could be in them unless they do the work for you., which just curious but how hard/easy is it to replace?
Thanks!
This doesn't sound like the power button at all. Look at vincom's stickies for the symptoms and trouble shooting.

If you are running a CM base rom, CM has a bug where the phone won't wake from sleep. You have to force reboot.

If you just wait about two seconds your screen will come on.

Power Button/Download mode issues.

I've been having a few problems lately. Ever since the 4.3 update, my power button is REALLY sensitive. I can barely tap it and it will bring up the power menu. Sometimes hitting the power button doesn't work. I don't think it is a hardware problem as I've disassembled the s3 and the logic board and power switch are fine.
Part two:
I thought this and the battery drain/charging issues I've been having may have been due to a bad OTA so I attempted to boot to download and reflash the rom with ODIN.
Herein lies the problem. When I boot to download mode (which is almost impossible because of the power button problems) it will sit there for a moment then reboot. To clarify, I can get into download mode where it tells me how many times I've tripped the flash counter, etc. After that it reboots. Also when it does reboot, sometimes it loops, again I assume this is due to the power button issues.
Any help would be appreciated.

Download "rebooter" from the market (red circle icon), open this app and it give you an option to boot to bootloader/recovery, see if you phone still reboot without touching your power button.
Tried that. Same result.

Are you sure your battery is fully charged? If not plug in your phone leave over night and try again.
This has been going on for a month. I've had plenty of full batteries bro lol

OK, then you should call Verizon and get another one. I think something is wrong with your hardware. Sorry.
I just had the same problem, then the next day it stopped working altogether. I just paid, yesterday as a matter a fact, 30 bucks to have my power button replaced. So far, so go! Just find a reputable cell phone repair company in your area.

I know what your talking about and it's only happened to me after updating to 4.3 OTA.
The power/phone options menu I'm talking about is the power button long press.
Well, this comes up without touching the button. It's like it's some kind of static, because it'll do it several times in a row while randomly shutting off the screen, etc.
Very frustrating.

It might not be a 4.3 problem but a physical problem. This is a extreme case but your phones might be on there way. If you are having the same problem as this thread the fix should work for you. The reason I don't think its the update is because it doesn't happen to me.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2611166

Just because it doesn't happen to you doesn't mean it doesn't happen to others. Come on.
I'm having a similar issue and it didn't start until I updated.
