Browser dropping signal - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Have found when using the s3 browser it freezes and will not work until I reboot the phone. Anyone have a solution for this. I am UK O2

Can't believe 99 views and not one comment . Hubby is sitting there with his S2 and no problems and mine keeps freezing. Must be a wifi thing any ideas?

Change browser lol or flash

Have altered wi-fi settings to no power save and will see how it goes. Have already changed browser to chrome and no difference.
Will flash only if I have to as Samsung are monitoring changes to this phone so may affect warranty in future.

Does the browser still freeze when using mobile data or just WiFi?

It is just on wi-fi. It has been fixed by changing the power save to off in the phone settings menu but have noticed the battery drain already so would like another option to try.

[Q] Help with phone being awake almost 100% of the time

As the title says, my p500 is awake almost 100% of the time. Even with the screen off (please look at the attached image).
The only apps running at startup (used Startup Manager app to check it) are Go weather, Maps, Market, Minimalistic text and Quick System Info Pro. On my home screen (Go Launcher EX) I use Go Weather, minimalistic text and Winamp widget, nothing else.
Is there somewhere I can look at or maybe some app I can install to see what is causing it?
I'm using Mik's CM7 6.5.5 and franco.kernel v16.1 bfs (this one gives me almost 30% more battery life than the newer versions) and running at 729/245mhz Smartass.
Uninstall maps and you'll be back in action
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
I can try that but I've always used Maps and it never happened before. Sure it eats some resources but I dont remember it causing the phone to be awake.
Uninstalled maps and phone is still awake.
Sent from my LG-P500 using XDA App
Reflash the kernel. And I agree with you.I found the V16.1 better than the later updates

PROBLEM SOLVED
I was planing on sending the phone to repair on monday, but at the time and with the phone here i didn't want to give up so i thought of rooting it and reinstalling the firmware, but nothing worked and the phone didn't recognize that it was connected to a computer. So i kept search other ways to reinstall the firmware and came across a website that talked about a "secret menu" code for the phones and i remembered that this phones must had one and that from there i could do something, i did. From there i did a factory reset and, unlike the ones i did before by going to settings-privacy, when the phone rebooted it told me right way that it was connected to the computer. I also tested the problem with the screen light and so far, so good.
So, if anyone else has this problem(sannielyk reportedly had) what i did was entering the "secret menu" code : 3845#*500# and did the factory reset from there.
Apparently it was a software problem or something that wasn't installed right by the lg service. But so far everything is good, and i hope it keeps that away.
Thanks for the help

I think I've found the villain. I started manual proccess of uninstalling apps and letting the phone sleep for an hour or so to check awake times. After I removed Live Holdem Pro the phone finnaly slept through an entire hour.
Still have to test through a complete battery cicle tho.

Yes, I have tried it. It helps when you do not use 3G/HSDPA. As soon as u enable internet and browse the net and after that disable the internet, the Fast Dormancy process starts to drain the battery again and again. Disabling the Fast Dormancy does not always work.
I swhitched to 2G and then it stopped draining the battery, but it is not the solution, as I can't live without 3G/HSDPA... Don't know what to do

Any fix yet?

Ok so I've had the ATRIX and then went to the inspire and iphone 4 now im back with the ATRIX and was wondering if there is any fix for the sudden loss of vibration on the keyboard and soft keys

Hmmm... like i said mine is fine. Maybe you are doing something specific with the phone that disables vibration? Installing some app maybe? Changing some setting, etc?
That would be my guess, a 3rd party app. Have you tried using it after a reset without installing any apps? Do you use TiBu to restore app data? Is this issue happening in any specific situation (eg. texting, web browsing, etc)???

IMO It's usually better to freeze apps in TiBu than uninstalling them. Just makes things so much easier to unfreeze than scramble looking for and installing apps if there are any conflicts down the road...

I know it's not a fix - but you could always download the standard Android 2.3 keyboard and be done with the Moto one.
Regardless of any faults, I always used this keyboard on my Galaxy S over the (horrible) Samsung one... you will also know if the fault is hardware or software related.

[Q] Launcher performance

Am I the only one that is sometimes seeing major lag when an app closes and the launcher redraws? In by case it is sometimes over a second.
Well known issue that has been mentioned already in numerous threads. I use SS launcher so don't have that problem.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
the stock launcher will not lag on its own, check for background cpu utilization with os monitor app and disable those apps .

If you read carefully enough, Dr. Paul, you'll find that you are on ALF2!
Is LF2 only through Kies? I got the OTA update to LF1, and that's all the OTA updater says is available. Or it's just VodaGroan being rubbish as usual.

Been looking in the forum and found this issue under another heading. I fixed it by rooting and changing the davlik VM heap size from 256 to 128mb. How did Samsung manage to screw this up?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Another thing to consider is whether you've got power saving on or off? If it's on and CPU power saving is turned on, the CPU runs at 800mhz rather than 1400mhz. This will show a noticeable difference in smoothness.

i just wanna share how i got rid of the lag and home respawn issue on my sgs3... i'm not saying it is a fix but these are the only things i did that work for me... there is no harm in trying...
1. disable double tap home button to activate s voice.
2. disable s voice using application manager
3. reboot... and after 3 days, no lag or whatsoever... but there was always the home respawn thing when i'm running a lot of apps on background...
4. uninstall facebook app... this app seems to eat most of the memory... reboot... now, i don't need to close any program running thru task manager... i check it and see 12 apps running but never had a respawn.. all is well now... i don't even think of rooting flashing a rom now... everything just seems to be running so well...
**i know some of you would say that it's not an option to uninstall FB app, i for myself would love to use it but i'd rather have a lag and respawn free sgs3 and use the FB desktop mode... but then again...that's just me...

Yes am using this on GSM. Working without an issue in that aspect.
My Wi-Fi is not so stable though keeps disconnecting sometimes
I've set the wifi sleep setting to "never" but it goes back to GSM data sometimes.

Go to settings > power saver, and see what all your options are set to. I'll bet you've got it set to turn on at 100%, screen brightness and time out are probably set like you're seeing as well.
How has your battery life been? If poor, I'd suggest at least rooting so you can turn off fast-dormancy. With your current setup I can only suggest factory reset and starting over if the power saver feature isn't the issue and you want to stay rooted. Do you have any app installed that allows profiles? It's just weird that things would reset to those extremes. Sounds like something's set to some kind of performance profile for gaming or watching streaming videos, or the power saver settings were off.
