Hi, first of all I will try to make the issue clear as possible
-I can't use two fingers to zoom on pictures, if i do the screen freezes for couple of seconds, then continues working
-Many times I have to click more than once on an icon to get it to work
-Touch screen freezes and I have to restart the phone by holding Power and Volume down button
Solutions tried:
- Clearing cache
-formatting the phone through odin
Possible cause of the problem
-Tried to install a glue UV screen protector, I think that could've damaged it, but I'm not sure.

If you still have the screen protector on, remove it.
How many social media/messaging apps and games do you have installed on your device?
Do you have a 3rd party launcher installed?
Do you have any RAM managers/optimizers installed?

Okay then. Well, it seems to me like there is a good chance that you have some kind of hardware issues and not software issues. I don't know exactly what part of the screen/display hardware could have been damaged by the compound that was used to apply the screen protector.

No idea if this is a ICS custom rom thing, but I remember it happened on stock as well.
When trying to install an .apk from sdcard (sideloading), I get the PackageInstaller confirmation window. Sometimes the right side where the OK button is, is non responsive (left side on Cancel can be clicked). After some trying, it works. Now, I have no idea what causes this, but it's ****ing annoying and seriously makes me want to throw the phone up the wall.
Anyone else noticed this ?
Did you enable installation from Unknown sources?

Um, yeah, the issue is in the Package Installer, I wouldn't even get to it, if I hadn't enable that.
That happens to me if I have the app Screen Filter enabled/on.

Hm, I've got Lux installed (manages lowest auto-brightness setting, because stock ICS is too dim). Perhaps that could be the issue. I'll try it out, thanks

I'm the developer of Lux. PackageInstaller shouldn't have any issues with Lux installed provided you haven't turned off 'compatibility mode' in settings.

I tried uninstalling Lux and responsiveness was suddenly back, it recognized the touch everytime.
Compatibility is on -> screenshots
When I restored Lux back again, the responsiveness went back to nonconsistant, sometimes it works fine, mostly it ignores the touch.

You might have to wait a couple of seconds before Lux disables itself. Lux needs to poll to check the current foreground app and disable itself. It polls every 3 seconds, unless it has detected the same app a few times in a row, in which it slows polling down to 9 seconds.

No problem. I wish there was a cleaner solution, but alas the Android API doesn't provide an intent which warns apps that a secure view is being shown.
Really Android should be drawing secure fields above everything else, rather than disabling the view - whoever thought that was a good idea isn't very intelligent.

I'm pretty sure you need to use a 3rd party launcher to get the home screen to rotate.
I use Nova Launcher & that rotates the home screen just fine.

Any app that supports screen rotation YouTube, messages, setting, Firefox, stock browser, pretty much everything I tried. Screen rotation was turned on the whole time and I'm running complete stock not rooted no rom or 3rd party launchers. The only thing that fix it was removing the battery while rebooting and a factory reset did nothing.

Screen wouldn't rotate
I tried everything and the only thing that would allow it to rotate in apps like dolphin browser and you tube was to pull battery. I am rooted and custom rom i tried reinstall of rom and also factory reset and nothing. Thanks for the reminder of pulling the battery, was so use to donig this on my t-bolt. I haven't needed to do this since then just forgot to even try it.

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.

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 motherboard circuit routes graphics to the HDMI port independently of the lcd cable and the lcd itself. The part that controls graphics is embedded inside the CPU. So it looks like the problem is more serious than just connections. Though I guess it doesn't hurt to try anything at this point. For the GPU to fail without any kind of physical impact is really new to me. But what do I know?
is anyone having an issue with the bottom part of their screen be non-responsive. I posted on the One+ forums and also noticed that I'm not the only one having this issue but there seems to be NO response from One+ itself.
Does anyone have a workaround if they have experienced this?
Thanks in advance.
Are you using a screen filter app? If so disable it, this is the cause of the bottom part of the screen to not work particularly when you're installing apks
