My Sprint S3 works as the OP describes. But, I don't see it as a problem. I've never noticed my S3 turning on in my pocket when it's unlocked. My old Evo 4G did it all the time (I assume because the capacitive buttons would activate through the thin material of the pocket), but the physical home button on the S3 seems to require enough force that it's not an issue.

I have two galaxy s3's and on one of them the screen lock gives me options to change it to how long i want it to wait until my screen locks and asks for a pin number. However on the other one it is automatically set to immediatley, how can i change this to 4 mins, it doesnt give me the options? It locks straight away and its annoying to have to put the pin in every time i pick up the phone as i am on it alot.
Please help? Is there different versions of this S3?

Guys, m from Arunachal Pradesh. This is news for all the tech lovers... In my place Itanagar, we are being offered smartphones for half the price (sic). Means, the price of Galaxy Note 2 is 37,100 but we are getting 45% discount, so it totals around 20,000. And the iPad Mini 3g+wifi is 16,500

Are they on different carriers, or different versions of Android (4.1 vs. 4.0)?

PRECISELY! Currently, my SGS3 is set with a screen lock, with swipe lock, lock automatically in 10 minutes after screen turns off. When turning the screen off, then turning it back on, swipe lock should still be enabled, but PIN / pattern lock should NOT be required unless there is at least 10 minutes of inactivity. WHY IS THIS SO HARD TO FIGURE OUT GOOGLE / SAMSUNG?? Even more-so considering the SGS3 is a 'SAFE' (Samsung Approved For Enterprise) device!

It's been a couple months since this thread has been active. Is there a fix for this yet?

Did you buy this new? If so, I think the answer is to take it back where you got it and tell them it's defective.
