[HELP] S3 stutters and hangs when loading - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey people!
I have the following problem. My mobile spins when it is loaded either via USB or cable. It starts to stutter and sometimes hangs for 1-2 seconds. Then, once it has no signal. Wireless or mobile Internet has gone away. And that makes it so long until I restart my then everything works although it depends on electricity. What can that be? omega 6 nimphetamin3 1.1.0. is running on my phone, but i saw it also ion the checkrom rom it was happening too?
Thank you for helping

I've just went back to omega rom, I found that leaving the kernel as is and then just using the rom gives the best performance.
Its smooth from the off. Just leave it that way.

what kernel did you use as it stutters and what kernel are you using at the moment?=

seems to be strange o.o don't know what it can be

Can someone please help me? Is my hardware defect or what can it be?

I thought it was related to root but I've had these hot reboots even before rooting so it's not just root. Most likely an app.

Will take a while to hunt down the app but anybody else have 'LinkedIn' app installed? It just hot rebooted while launching that app from a fresh restart - quickest hot reboot I've ever seen.
It might not be that app but then I went to the Play Store page and there are tons of 1 star reviews because the last update failed on people's phones - more interestingly the most recent comment is from a GS2 user who says latest update reboots his phone.
I've uninstalled it and I doubt I can be that lucky that it's that app and I find it so quickly but crossing my fingers.
Mine rebooted after I opened the Navigation app.
Mine is random, many different apps

Mine happened again. I've now uninstalled BetterBatteryStats. I'm going to start uninstalling stuff that uses root to roll that out. I've had these issues on stock but it happened rarely, lately it's been happening very frequently so something is going on.

I've had the same on mine. I rooted mine day 1, so no idea if it would have done it without root. I've defrosted everything in TB and still no luck.

Well I'm tired of the random hot reboots! Some people say it happened to them before rooting, but I don't believe it happened to me until I rooted and installed CWM touch......so I'm going back to stock to start all over again so I can try to narrow down the issue. I'll report back on my progress as it becomes available.

Happening often to me. The search continues. I've now uninstalled adfree. I'm positive this is an app since I had it occur on stock after two weeks of using the phone and installing crap.

I had the same problem on my previous Captivate and am having it now on the GS III; no rhyme or reason to the reboots that I can see.
I still have heat problem but I played w/ different settings to see what it is.... I had att s3 which got really really hot... So returned it for Verizon s3. Verizon is better but learned that the data (lte/s3) makes it really hot and battery drain. Also the screen, of course.
If you're rooted then go get Phone info and disable lte. I tried CDMA auto for Verizon and it got much better... But at lowered download speed. I change it when I speed the speed... Doesn't require reboot so it's easy to change.
U can also under clock using setCPU.
I don't need it to be fast normally except when playing games... So just have it at 384min and 1024max... I find this helps allot w/ heat as well... U can try and find your setting that's acceptable speed and heat.
Just sharing my experience here.... So good luck.

Happens here too with the T-Mobile GS3. I think they rushed their fabrication process to deliver a high volume and fubared a few hardwarewise. I've even had it lockup/freeze once when not even in the OS but just in the recovery menu's. But yeah, the usual is a totally random unpredictable hot reboot throwing out my resident programs, homescreen, ect. Starts with the screen being frozen and not accepting input, then a short vibration, then back to homescreen reloading and all regular apps and widges that are supposed to run at boot load again. It's as if there's a micro static short or something. Anyway, I'm sick of problem solving and looking through logcats. Going back in for warranty. This is a dream phone except for this ultra annoying bug that it seems not many people have.

Happened to me once or twice (that I noticed) in the two weeks before I rooted (stock UCALEM), and a few more times after. It's just TouchPiz being pizzy. Maybe someone can catch the logcat, but there's nothing we can do about it (except install a better ROM )
How would anyone be able to diagnose this BS
"OK. My phone is hot. And it randomly reboots".
"Crap - u r out of luck buddy. Go change ur damn phone".
Provide ur phone model, ROM version, apps installed. Check ur battery stats.
As a solution - flash any custom ROM which removes bloatware.

SGS3 Menu Screen Lag

I flashed a new rom on 21-Jul-2012, no mods or apps or anything since then and all of sudden last night 23-Jul-2012 i started getting the screen lag (vid attached below)
I have tried four different roms today with full factory/data reset and still have this issue. In the vid im only clicking the section once and quickly, as you will see the blue highlght stays for 1-2 secs before going into the section.
Has anyone had this issue before?
I don't see any issues
Infact your device seems a lot faster than mine.
Fix is in Jelly Bean update .

I wouldve thought that it wasnt an issue as well fenjen, but it only started happening on 23-Jul-2012, not that the date matters, but I have accessed the settings area a fair bit in the past and this time it was def more laggy.

Anyone experienced slow charging on the leaks??

I have had the same problem with every leak so far. After install.. its ok for a day. But then I charge at night and it's so slow charging that it's not at 100% by the morning.
This is only the start of the issue.. with all the leaks.. this happens, and then WiFi seems to be really unreliable. Showing poor signal and losing connection even tho I'm right next to the router.
After the WiFi starts playing up.. next thing that goes is the keyboard... registering touches on the wrong keys etc.
This has happened to me on EVERY leak so far. It messes with my phone so much that a flash back to stock doesn't work. Only a full flash with a .pit file wipes all the errors.
I hope Sammy know of these issues. Because my phone is really hating their leaks so far
Anyone else experienced any similar issues?? Would love to hear of a fix.

Thanks for the replies.
I think it's probably a hardware thing.. but as it doesn't happen on ICS I guess I'm going to have to wait for the official ota to see if it still happens.
I hope not.. because the phone will have to be sent back.

No probs for me on the JB leaks. It's quite the opposite for me, pretty rapid charging i'm finding.

Help me to understand the problem

Hi,
I have been using padawan v9 from so long and never had any issue. Today, my phone is reeboting often and really hot. Anyone has any idea why? problem started when i was using firefox browser. Thankyou wonderful people
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Well I find heat comes from under the camera on the back after heavy data usage, so that's normal for me.
Reboots might be from heavy usage from browser causing overwhelming processor usage forcing the phone to reboot. I get it sometimes from my YouTube app.
Anyway, I don't think that there are any real issues in my opinion, just a few day to day problems.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Seems like working good again. Don' t want to change this rom. Probably the browser might have done it. Thanks

Laggy ?

Hey guys so I just upgraded to the s4 and for some reason it seems laggy and slow . Now I did install safe strap root and flashed hyper and jelly but there was a lag feeling to it compared to my note 2. Titanium takes longer to restore same number if apps and even adding a gmail account its has some lag. So I went back to stock rooted to try this. Anyone else have this happen? I thought the s4 would be faster than n2.

This phone is smoking for me, even under clocked. I'm mdk. My wife is me7 it's smoking too not rooted. Mine is a little faster though. debloating makes a difference I guess.

I did antutu the first custom test near top of page. I got 27841 as a score. Maybe I should unroot and do a full system restore?
Wonder if 4.3 will be boot loader unlocked

I have gotten as high as 29000 something or other without overclocking the CPU. I think I was on Hyperdrive. I'd think vanir would smoke. That is one fast rom. Just did a run of that benchmark on eclipse 2.0. I have very modified kernel settings. Aimed @ a mix of battery and performance and scored 26500. Underclocked CPU.

Officially? No, it'll be locked down like any other release. After that? Who knows, we'll just have to wait to see if someone will be able to do it.
What kind of lag are you experiencing exactly? Mine used to stutter a lot more than it does now... here's what I did to fix mine:
1) Freeze/uninstall all bloat of course
2) In Dev options change all window animations to .5 (or off if you want)
3) Turn off Lock Screen animations (water drop/light effect) <--- this made the biggest difference oddly
4) Install Nova launcher and don't use too many home screen widgets
5) (Optional) I use a program called Clean Master which will clean up junk files and cache for you
My S4 still isn't completely lag free, it does still stutter from time to time during heavy multitasking but I think that's just the nature of a heavy skin like Touchwiz running in the background. Unfortunately I have ME7 so comparing it to AOSP is out of the question right now (I don't really want to run Safe Strap at the moment).
There are also other things I haven't tried like Greenify-ing apps and whatnot, but for now I'm happy with how it's acting.
Opening apps up and unlocking phone was laggu for me. I'll try what you suggested. I'm hoping I can either trade my phone for a mdk version or 4.3 becomes unlockable

I'm not sure. I doubt it. I have been hopeful that a dev is sitting on an exploit waiting until the 4.3 update to release it so there is not a opportunity to patch it. But as far as I know right now there is no exploit for the me7 boot loader and no prospects on the horizon.

Usually that is related to WiFi location being checked in location settings. Uncheck it and the usage will go down.

OK this is weird. So I have juice defender and freenift installed. Now I what's happening is I'm using the phone and say it drops 5% in zxx minutes. I when I come back a hour later its only 3% down. Its like IRS charging itself lol. Does this mean its not calibrated properly and is not reading it correctly there for maybe its giving false information ?

My wife and I both have MDK phones. They both lag. TW is a fat bloated pig with poor performance. It's a shame, I was really happy with the S3 and the S4 is just such a let down in so many ways.

My wife has a S3 and I also had one before I upgraded to the S4. Initially this phone felt slower to me too but after rooting and installing a stock debloated rom it seems plenty fast. I rarely notice any lag at all....maybe after about 10 days without rebooting. My wifes S3 is SLOW as heck now which is really strange. I tried factory resetting it and last weekend flashed it in Odin...still slow.....her phone is insanely slow compared to mine.

Yeah, maybe my expectations were too high. I was running bonestock and it was the smoothest experience I had. But, the occasional home button lag, super slow dialer, and choppy performance during some game play and scrolling made the overall experience disappointing.

I know it's fun to bash Touchwiz but I think a lot of lag issues still hide under Android itself... I'm hoping to see good results with the TRIM feature in 4.4 (not sure if it's in 4.3?) to totally get rid of lag across all Androids.
I completely agree with you though, Touchwiz is bloated and heavy and I prefer stock Android over all others.
