I have been trying for weeks to figure this out. If i touch my phone or look at it while its ringing, it answers itself and puts it on speaker phone!
Ive tried every combination of settings ...
Ive read similar things online about this but nobody has come up with a solution.
PLEASE HELP!

Hey, it looks like you've already started a thread about this in the generic sgs3 forum. Let's answer some questions:
What network is your s3 on?
Is your phone on the stock samsung ICS or have you flashed something else?
Have you tried plugging your phone into the samsung Kies software to get an update?
Let's start there. The more information you can provide the better.

Make sure Automatic answering is turned off.
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III
At&T
Stock
Apex launcher
Ive tried turning off different settings. Im aware of ALL settings in this phone and have still not been able to remedy this...
Latest update....
Did the phone ever answer properly?
Sounds like automatic answering is on (even though you've confirmed it isn't) , or you have some kind of app that is interfering with the answer in process. As much as it's a pain, I'd backup important data (contacts, sms message history, bookmarks, game saves, pictures etc) and do a full factory reset:
Go to Settings
Privacy
Factory Data Reset
Reset Phone
Erase Everything
It would bring your phone back to day 1 and possibly correct a software glitch. I'm not confident that it would work but I would try it to be sure.
I cant remember if it ever did...
Im gonna wait till after the JB update to see if that changes anything. I turned off "answer with home button" and it didnt do it last call so maybe that worked?
I have no idea.
Factory reset is prolly the best option though
I subscribed to your thread because my wife's AT&T S3 does the exact same thing. Very frustrating because mine does not do it. Might have to try the factory reset as well.
yeah, its pissing me off.
It seems to only happen when i dont want to answer that persons call!

did that yesterday and it seems to be working thus far..
thx
It would be funny if the ringtone was being picked up and triggering the voice cmd..... kinda pathetic
Reminds me of my friend, who had sensor enabled and big paws. When he was dialing one of his fingers would come close to sensor, and screen would go black. He had SGS3 from Sprint. I disabled screen off - he was the happiest man ever!
I never would have thought of the voice command answer setting. Never used the feature myself. You'd think it would have some kind of noise canceling feature to prevent that from happening, or at least a prompt telling you that ring tones may interfere. Funny stuff.
Well at least if it's solved you don't have to wipe

So i have been reading here alot on the Q&A and seem to have found relevant posts/threads mentioning this issue..i don't exactly know if this is isolated or its from a faulty batch or its really a stupid feature of the One X..currently i am pissed so great on this phone..sorry to some who loved this phone but this phone is PITA for me..
here are the relevant threads i have gathered..and some people discussing the same issue i have..
thread 1
thread 2
thread 3
on those threads the issue of "Sensor still staying up even the call is already done" is imminent and in one case it is using VIBER that this issue arises..well on my issue i don't have anything installed on my Phone so i am just using my stock Call app(HTC one..)and when i make calls this issue just repeats is self..
to be more precise
-when i make a call, it will turn on sensor then it will immediately turn off screen even if the phone is not even near my ear..
-after the call the sensor is still lit up so i have to make a dummy call to turn it off and on this instance the screen again shuts itself off and sometimes its hard to wake it up..
if someone can provide a solution to this much better..or can explain to me what the heck is this phone made off..and what the heck this phone is doing..i have tried almost every kernel and reverted to stock via RUU still the same friggin issue persists..
Hi,
I have an annoying problem. Don't know if it is common problem or what, i'm not found any solution yet over the internet. The problem begin when i'm in call. then when the call end, the screen is not turning on. after a series or try, it fail to on. so, i have to pull the battery and put back. it is very annoying when i'm in urgent call. One more thing, another problem arise. phone automatically reboot when in call. I need your help to solve this problem. If this thread is posted early, please kindly link me to the thread with solution.

This seems similar to this thread. So maybe if you share your experience with the other person who has a similar problem of black screen with calling then it will be beneficial to both of you and for others to gain more information then help you both
Hi, im using Viper one 3.2.1 and i have a problem with answering a call. I have my phone in a pocket, someone is calling me, and the call is being rejected or answered automatically, why? Because theres no 'slide finger to answer or reject a call'.
I dont remember having a phone with just 'press button to answer' its obvious it'll answer in your pocket and is sooooo annoying...is there a way 2 change it?
I looked everywhere and theres no hope i think...
Well then, if u wont help me, i will have to sell my beloved M8...
PS
My girlfriend have Galaxy s 4 and there a great 'slide to answer' option, is there a way to add it to our M8?
Thanks a million.
I just bought a OnePlus 9 Pro and I have a problem. When someone calls me, the phone takes the call without ringing. I think there is an auto-reply option somewhere but can't find it. Thank you in advance for your help.
Sorry guys I found the solution. I have a connected watch that allows you to make calls and it was the configuration of the watch that caused panic. So it was the watch that was in auto response
