Some bugs, do you have same problems?:( - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys
I've been using my s3 for 2 days and I'm so pleased to back to android
The overall performance is great like iphone smooth. However, sometimes three is a refresh delay after using the browser and flipboard for a while.
Do you guys have same problem?
I'm just wondering If it's a just bug.
One more!
Wifi is not working at times as well. Whenever I use some specific apps it loads so slow.
Is it a faulty device or just some bug??

Did you try a re-install ?
Have they updated their app for ICS?

^ This. Contact the devs.
Only 1 so far I have found that does not work is SPD Shell 3D. Says it has ICS support but no go on my prime. Already e-mailed the dev.
App support will require some ICS loving to be applied to the apps, and even though ICS is consistent throughout both phones and tablets they may still have to make tegra 3 and tablet customizations to their ICS variant. Since that was only released 8 hours ago give it a little time.
Has anyone had problems charging after update? Mine doesn't seem to charge ...

For me it takes a minute or two to get to HD res, but it gets there eventually.
And quadrant always force closes, but it did that on honeycomb as well

No restart option when holding down the power button. Very annoying.

That is not, and has never been, a native feature of Android. It's only available in custom roms.
GPS button getting removed from the quick settings menu is a bork... IMHO
has anyone been experiencing charging problems?

I believe that is an ICS problem with the way ICS reports screen res or something. It is a known issue with Swype and hopefully a beta will be available by the end of the month to address it..

[Q] slow camera

Hi, I've been using a number of ics roms since it was released and am currently on wanam v 12. I was wondering if anyone else has had a very slow response from the stock camera since moving to ics, never had any problems with gingerbread. The camera takes a picture normally but takes several seconds to finally respond and able to take another picture. Any advice?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
Probably not the advice you're looking for, but try miui rom, specifically cmiui. The camera is really nippy on that one.
It may be a CM9 camera apk that's installed in cmiui. You could see if you could track down the apk on its own if you don't want to flash another rom.
And I know what you mean, every ics rom has given me bad lag with taking pics.

The GS2 doesn't have zero-shutter lag, but I am not experiencing a few seconds worth of lag as you are.
Try clearing data in App Info, which will hopefully fix your issue.
Try alternative cameras on the Play Store, namely Camera ICS.
Report back and tell me if that fixes anything.
Hey thanks for the advice! I cleared data on the app and is way faster now.

Vibrating when Camera or Torch opens

Hi guys, just like the title says, this is my problem.. when I open Camera app or turn on Torch, something near camera lens starts to vibrate and I have to bang it. I'm running CM 9.1 (aosp camera app) and Chameleon 1.3 (stock sammy app). At first I thougt it is caused by the CM, but why also on Chameleon ? Will this problen disappear if I flash original stock firmware ? I wasn't experiencing this before I started to play with flashing so I hope the phone is not damaged in any way..
thanks

My phone also does this sometimes. Have always noticed it. A lot more so with cm9 though.
Haven't found any answers. It also seems to get extremely hot.

Anyone? I really don't know what this is. It Does it with cm kernel and siyah.

Anyone? Is this harmful for my phone?
I have noticed.when.the.torch.is. on if i have the screen facing down it vibrates constantly almost every time.
The moving part is the focus module of the camera.
It, however, should only move for a short time.
It usually only clicks for me.

It vibrates until i bang the phone gently on my hand. When vibrating the camera gets extremely hot
I think this is a hardware fault as it has been like this since i got the phone in november 2011, i have tried pretty much every kernel/rom/modem out there. So i know it is not software related. Unless it is canera firmware? I have updated this too.
Edit:
Since i have had the phone it has never vibrated like this whilst using the camera for pictures.
Always when i use the torch. 90percent of the time when i face the screen down with the torch on, it has rarely done it with the torch facing down.
Bump

WiFi on AOKP is terrible please help :(

OK guys my problem is my WiFi is retardedly slow. I have been using omega ROM and everything was fine it seemed my WiFi was faster when I turned off power save mode. I have just installed resurection remix and I love it its amazing except the WiFi being slow as hell and obviously I can't do the power save mode thing. Is there anything I can do to make my WiFi work normally? Oh and I have never had a problem with it dropping out.

try different kernel
In honesty it only seems to be anything to do with xda, the xda app/tapatalk/xda on browser and sometimes YouTube lags a bit. I have tried clearing the data or everything and tried uninstalling/reinstalling the xda stuff but it just doesn't load quickly I have to have five or six attempts to get it too load.

it can be a bit slow sometimes, using a browser it may be due to adblocker, but also remember it a very active site with a lot of traffic sometimes
Remember only one thread, OP.
Sorry about the two threads like I say it takes ages to load the app and YouTube on AOKP and aosp but when I use the touchwiz based roms and I am able to turn off WiFi power save mode it works flawlessly, only problem is I'm not keen on touchwiz I really like this ROM and would love to keep using it but unless I can get this issue fixed I don't think I'm gonna be able to.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Ah never mind i have gone back to Omega's rom as it seems to be the best touch wiz rom. Hopefully i will be able to use aokp or aosp soon without WiFi issues. Thanks for everyone that tried to help though

You have to go back to ICS before going to any AOSP ROM.
Do I have to go to stock ICS or any custom one? And will that make my WiFi speed normal?
Sent From My Omega'd Galaxy S3 ...
Any custom one will work as long as it is ICS and it should fix any probs you are having.

I will try it and let you know how I get on thanks.

S3 Touch Screen Problems

Hi, I have just purchased my new s3 2 days ago and I'm loving it.. Until now. It is a rooted s3 32gb running cm 10.1.3 stable.
Here's the problem, out of nowhere my s3 touch screen started playing up. The input lag is far greater than it was before and my keyboard has become really sluggish and slow. Also, the touchscreen will also do weird things like if I try and click on an app it flips to the next app page instead. I've tried different kernels, killed apps and fully optimised my device to 100% yet it's still the same. I even reflashed my room but still no change.
The strange thing is that the device still performs tasks flawlessly with no problems, it's just the touchscreen input that isn't doing what it should.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

Just fixed the issue after 5h of trial and error, it was caused by having magnification gestures on in the settings menu lol :/
