Yup, get this from time to time. Doesn't appear to be any rhyme or reason to as and when it happens, but it does occasionally redraw. It's a weird one, hopefully it'll be sorted relatively soon!

After updating to LF2 my redraws reduced drastically and ever since I started using Apex launcher, they've disappeared completely....

It still redraws for me with Apex.
This can only be addressed by optimising apps to use less RAM. This is an inherent problem on any device without sufficient RAM.

In the beginning after the update it seemed to be gone. I still get it though occasionally when play a game like Nova or when play a 720P flash video in the internet.

Saw a vid on youtube and there were some commenters saying it´s still present. Guess It´s just not totally gone yet.
yeah, still have this issue and it's really annoying... Many were saying S2 does not have this issue, so why do we have this on S3? Good QA from Samsung for their most expensive smartphone!

everything else is fine just the launcher is lagging..
Try full wipe of the phone, everything is smooth here unless i connect HDMI which is a different problem
done the reset and NOTHING changed.. im a bout to return this baby
It's because of gingerbread I think.. I have seen ICS on the Xperia S, and it's an amazing difference. If you can stand it as is for a couple of months then you'll be up for a treat.

Can't see much difference to be honest... I had mine for two weeks now and I can easily say it's as smooth as the iPhone 4s.. And yes my brother had one so I can compare..
My complaints are with some force closes that I face with a couple of apps but that's a different issue which is related to the app itself..

Most people don't have the problem because they are not noticing this "laggy-ness". It's something most people doesn't think about. As for me, I think it works pretty well - but ICS is gonna be better.

My phone is insanely smooth, not choppy at all.
Obviously if you have like 5 of those animated weather widgets on a screen it will probably jump a little between screens, but yea, you have 5 animated weather widgets .
Do you have a different launcher? maybe you have a really heavy launcher?
I seriously have no problems, and I am really picky if I have weird lags and such.
Maybe you have a lot of background apps running?

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.

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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
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.
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.

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.
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.

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.

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.

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.
