MurrayM: Something a bit weird happened to my S3 this morning when I unlocked the screen for the first time today. It immediately opened up the video player. So I thought that I must have accidentally tapped something and I pressed back to go back. This landed me in the ASB mobile banking app, which I haven't opened for a couple of days. Pressing back again landed me in a game that I haven't played since the weekend. I pressed the home button and the home screen came up. I don't know how all these apps started up by themselves, very strange. My partner swears she hasn't touched my phone. I've seen similar behaviour when the launcher crashes - it will sometimes drop you into random apps. In my experience, it's usually the stock browser.

nofam: lokhor: Jelly Bean! Wonder how long until we get it.. Q3, 2012. Is this an estimation? I'm thinking it might be in ~3 months as Samsung should have had the PDK for 3 months already Current Devices: Samsung Galaxy S3 Old Devices: SGS I9000, HTC Sensation, SGSII I9100, Asus Transformer Associate Editor-in-Chief for AndroidNZ.net TelecomTech is a sponsored blog reviewing the latest in communications technology.

Nova launcher has a nasty habit of reloading itself for me. It'll lock the phone to a black screen for about 5 seconds and then reload the desktop rather than loding random apps. I'm 'glad' others are having similar troubles but thought for sure the default launcher would be fine, a bit sad it's also afflicted. www.archimage.co.nz psn: PabloNZ

Yeah this happened for me with TouchWiz and with Apex, even though Apex has a setting to supposedly keep itself in memory. There is a build.prop tweak if you're rooted that can help but doesn't entirely remove the problem.

MurrayM: Nope, no third-party launcher, quite happy with TouchWiz. I got the same problem with my S2 lol. One early morning it just start playing music and woke me up from my sleep. It was my Apex Launcher crashed. Usually Flash player or some third party applications that contributed into this problem. Otherwise it could be the launcher just decided to walk toward the light and died.
