Thats not right at all. There is something fundamentally wrong.
I would download mybackup pro trial aand take a backup of your data that you absolutely cannot lose and then do a factory reset because this should not be happening.
overclock!!! :fingers-crossed:

Not a good solution to this problem. He shouldn't have to overclock to get the performance that should be available without any modifications.

+1 removing not used apps and widgets makes a great difference in performance and battery life.
No matter what, the phone shouldn't act like this. Something is heavily draining ram(not using, draining) probable a rogue app.
factory reset and if the problem persist take it back to the store

One solution lies in rooting your device and installing a good rom on it.

A launcher issue based on your description? Nova launcher is good. You coukd give it a try. If not, factory reset is a good idea.
How is your setting in developer option, animationscale set on 1x?

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.

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...

Am using dolphin HD now. Whenever i "close" it with the home button and open up another app. I go back to dolphin and the webpages are being reloaded? i remember iPhone doesnt do this unless it really runs out of memory. Now, i have a tweak on my rom that doesnt let my ram drop below 200mb. Any ideas why this is happening?

In theory yes, but I haven't tried. I don't understand why you don't install another launcher before you delete TW launcher? Why would you try to run your SIII without a launcher installed?

yep, if you've done everything right, the nandroid should restore your phone.
i don't know which rom you are using so copy and backup the nandroid to your computer.

No, you are just seeing the system lock screen. Touchwiz, for the most part, on the GSIII, is just a launcher. A lot of the other things you see are other parts of the ROM.
Freezing Toucwiz with Titanium Backup would have been a better choice that deleting it.

Well, doing a nandroid restore now. Gonna freeze it instead. Thankfully i did a backup.
I've noticed every time I restart the phone my settings are restarted as well my brightness is always back to 100 even tho I'll have it on 50
Also my screen timeout which i leave at 30 seconds reverts back to 2 minutes and I'm not able to sort my applications alphabetically in the drawer every time I select it nothing happens
Does anyone else have these issues?

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.

Hello all Galaxy S3 owners !
I am totally desperate about my phone. IN fact im almost crying.
My problem is simple, trivial, stupid. Yet its totally affecting my work with phone.
I can´t delete home screens in Touchwiz.
Yes thats right, when i zoom out to manage home screens, and i tap and hold to move the homescreen to the delete bar- it just freezes at the first touch with the bar and bam. Touchwiz has stopped, it will restart, and that homescreen is still there.
Pretty simple, huh? Yeah, but well the point is, i have done around 4 factory resets and that problem is still there. When im done setting up the phone, its working good. But the first time i will restart it, i cant delete any home screen again.
Please for the love of god, help me.
What firmware .What phone missing information .

God how i hate them, that phone aint that fast now.. Well at least i know whats the cause of it
THANKS !
For that slight lag we get especially going into the app drawer I figured I try switching to Art instead of Dalvik and BAM lag was gone and feels much snapper for sure.
I do think it made my G3 snapper, but over time it just created more issues than it solved. I recently started using Nova Launcher Prime again and it's definitely faster than the stock one. That's a good enough bump in speed for me for now.
I did this about 4 days after owning the device, and since then, its been nothing but positives for me. It also seems as if it REALLY boosts battery life (almost doubled mine)
I switched about 2 weeks ago and honestly I cant tell any difference. I am using Apex Launcher
What lag ?
Sent from my LGLS990 using Tapatalk
Just switched to art myself yesterday... The lag is nonexistence now which is awesome, but is there a way to make some of the app compatible? (I searched but came up with,nothing) sorry for the stupid question
The lag exist just a few secs in the app drawer when you flip through the 1st or 2nd page. To another post you don't notice lag if you use a launcher. I personally like to use the stock launcher.
Finally making the switch to ART today. So far, so good. I will edit if I encounter issues.

Tried ART on 2 separate occasions for roughly a week. Both times, I had random freezes or reboots every day or 2. None of these issues on Dalvik.
Using Nova Launcher and that minimizes apparent lag for me.
Turning off all animations helps.
