few days ago my phone went laggy so i turned it off. as soon i turned it on a red empty battery showed up (the phone was charged) a few minutes later it turned on and still then its really slow. in IE when i go to pages (tabs) it doesn't show any tabs and can't even open a new one
any idea?
try a soft reset...hold down the power button until the screen goes dark (7-8 seconds)
tried it, now its not slow
but now IE does not start
tried to open a link from messages, but it displays error "can't open webpage"
a soft reset solved the problem, but IE is still bugged, it will open up in two instances (it does not open the last visited page, starts a new IE) and still can't manage tabs
This is not an IE bug this is a lumia bug as my lumia has this also but the good old samsung omnia did not have those issues at all.
My IE is very slow too often can't type bc the keyboard freezes for a couple sec. and with tabs opening and closing it often slows down and lags.

Has anyone had problems with their phone freezing/crashing randomly? Basically my phone would freeze or crash (a force close) when I sleep it too quickly.
Sometimes it's not even sleeping it, it's un-sleeping too. Or even navigating between applications.
When this happens I go in to my messages to type a text and all contacts' names disappear and only numbers show up. If I attempt to click on a text the text will not show up and the screen is just black. It will either take more than 3 minutes for the text to load, or it will not load at all. So I have to shut it down in order for it to work properly again.
My phone has not been rooted, I have not downloaded very many applications, maybe just 5. I haven't even used it to browse because I'm afraid I would have to turn it off and just reboot the whole thing. Does anyone have an idea what is wrong?
You better go get a new one.
use a task killer, maybe it would help you, It worked for me
Hey guys. My S3 started freezing randomly a few days ago. What happens is that I will be playing with it and then it will literary become unresponsive along with the hardware buttons except the power button. The weird thing is that the animation on the screen is still active: say I was writing a text and the little blinking bar keeps blinking as if nothing is wrong but the phone is simply unresponsive.
I did a factory reset and it is still happening.
Anyone have any idea what the heck is happening? Is it hardware or software related?
Have a read of the freezing thread in general forum, sounds like the operating system is dealing with bad memory blocks.
Well, same thing happens to me, i looked up on that tread about bad memory blocks: well i even tested the memory and works fine, no bad memory sectors, my hardware power button responds to restart (no need to pull out battery). When it does freeze it doesn't unfreeze at all after some time ( i once let it unfreeze for entire night on charger and it stood on the same screen after 8+ hours). I even reinstalled a different software (JB 4.1.3 Darky edition) and it freezes very rarely now but when it does, it's still same kind of freeze. When it freezes it freezes mostly on Twitter app but sometimes random app. I don't know now is it really a faulty memory or just software bugs... btw dummy file didn't freeze my phone (to be clear) after i reinstalled the software, but did it before on old one
Help! Galaxy's freezing!
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem, when phone freezes nothing works except power button, when pressing it about 10 seconds, the phone reboots. I have exactly the same model (GT-I9300), but Lithuanian. The freezing lasts from 10 minutes to an infinite time. All the freezing started about three weeks ago, when google play started updating iron man game. I tried dummy file geterator, the phone hasnt freezed at all, but the phone freezes randomly when opening internet, other apps or just anytime, even when phone is on stand by. I tried flashing DarkyRom 4.1.2 XXEMB1, but the phone started freezing even more, then i recovered from the Nandroid backup, and the phone is now freezing not so frequently, about 1 freeze in 2-3 days, but it still freezes, and i also have a strange "Process com.google.process.gapps has stopped working" problem. I tried every solution to this problem, but none of them works. Also, i think it is somehow connected to the freezes, because after those messages phone freezes sometimes. I dont know how to solve these super annoying problems, because i tried nearly everything, and nothing works. I think this might be a hardware issue, and that i should buy a new phone. If you know somehing, help me!
Hi everyone. I was having my s3 I9300 (stock rom; never rooted before) for like 2 years & with no flaw. Two weeks ago, I noticed that after it gets really battery low, the screen starts flickering weird horizontal lines, but it never freezes and shuts off.
However, 2 days ago, I was downloading something using the stock browser (blue earth icon), soon after, i turned the wifi off only to find out that my downloading was still going (downloading some album from tusfile.com) then in a blink of an eye, the moment I immediately turned it back on, the screens starts showing "flickering movement (just horizontal lines)" then immediately freezed. I was waiting for like 50 minutes, then decided to remove the battery.
After putting it back, then turned it on, "flickering" then freezes, then shuts itself off (i repeated the cycle twice or thrice, but it keeps doing the same sh*t) . After 10 minutes without putting the battery, i put it back in, turned it on. But this time, as soon as it got turned on, i immediately locked the screen by pressing the power button once (i just turned the screen off just to make the screen black)
After 10 minutes, i decided to use it again & everything was fine. The moment i tried the app "screen filter" just to darken the screen up, then the whole sh*t started again. I will never use that app again.
After 10 minutes of removing the battery, switched to recovery mode (in that mode, That green android was seemed lying down, it says "no command", & with a big red exclamation mark, he seemed dead) then I wiped the "cache partition", then factory reseted it, turned it on & everything was okay.
Since my phone was factory reseted, I download some app (Google Keep) and that app wanted me to update "Google Play Service". I was updating it fine, after it reached 87%, the whole sh*t started again but this time, I TOTALLY CANT TURN THE SYSTEM ON AGAIN!, unless i clear the "cache partition", then turned it on again. I repeated the cycle again, then decided to stop rely on Google Play again.
Then whole same thing happened when i was using G mail. Then Google Play. Then Play Service.
Shall I root my phone? Flash it to "CM12.1?
Thank you very much.
First i noticed that whenever i chat with someone over messenger, it starts calling them randomly while i type.
I thought it's about messenger and i cleared the cache and reinstalled it. Problem is still occurring.
Later, i noticed in one game that screen does that touch again - on the very same spot as in messenger - somewhere in the top right corner (where's the call button in messenger).
I turned off the phone, waited 2-3 minutes and then turned it on. Problem is still occurring.
I started service "thing" (found on the internet what to type in the dial to activate it) and tested the touch screen, everything seems to be okay. So from my experience it seems it's not hardware problem. Do you have any suggestion or experience with this kind of problem? I wish i could fix my phone
And one more thing, it happens only when i'm touching the screen too, it wont do that when i leave it alone and just watch the display.
Hello guys, I have a Samsung Galaxy A10 and since today that I'm having an issue with it. Every 3 seconds there's a lag spike in the operating system only. In apps its completely normal no lags at all. For example if I continually flick the notification bar up and down i get a lag spike every 3 seconds every time. It happens the same with the navigation buttons on the bottom, keyboard, basically anything related to the os. But in apps I dont have this issue. I think it all started when I plugged in the charger and i got a warning that was water on it, but there wasnt any water that warning sometimes pops up when the cable slips a little bit and gets halfway attached. I restarted the phone multiple times, it seems fine on boot but quickly goes to the same problem. The phone is not rooted, it's original firmware and all. Can anyone help me out here?
