Please help. Att s3 very slow - Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)

I got the s3 from att about 4days ago but i realise now that it seams more slugish than my atrix 4g. This is embarasinv for the all mighty s3. So i decided to get some benchmark app from the market. I got cf bench and i score 4th on the list. After s2, one x and the s3 that is first there. Please help me understand if maybe i have a deffective device or i am using a bad app.
Also, when i am using an app and i hit the home button to go to the main screen it shows the backgroun pic first and a little later it starts popping up the app shortcuts on my desktop. Thank you for any help in advance.

No. I figured it would not be needed on a new phone. I also wanted to avoid loosing all my data and aps.

yep you turned on power saving for sure. That feature is 100% worthless. Not only dose it not save ANY power, it slows down the phone so much you can't even type fluidly on any keyboard.

No. Power savings is off. I also just did a factory reset and i reinstalled cf-bench. I redid the benchmark and now it is just a bit better than the s2, but still it is like half way to where the one x and unlocked s3 are. Can anyone do a cf bench and get back with some comparesing benchmark. This is enoying to say at list. I want to make sure that my phone is not deffective whole i can still exchange it. Thank u.

Your not long pressing home, are you? If so, this feature will show recent app shortcuts used. I'm not sure if this is what your seeing from your description.

Thank you. I sctualy ran quadrant and i get similar rezults. I just need to close all aps manually and my quadrant score is a little below 4900. Cf bench still is bad.

True. I was looking at techniques and the one that worked the best for me was putting finger above the blue dot about an inch space. It gives you a bit more time to move rather than waiting till they reach all the way down.
Sent from my MB855 using xda premium
Anybody tried turning there phone 180° and playing upside down? Kinda makes things easier, just flip it and slide my finger along the capacitive buttons or the add box, gives me the whole screen to observe. Got my best (37.something) like that.

I'm guessing here, but a glitch in " not the matrix.. LMAO!! that was funny as all hell " but for real, I'm guessing that you had a hard reboot and one random / fuct up app acting up and trying to sync or somn that made you go in to a reset.
Now did the phone reset or was it normal? all info you can provide could be extremely helpful to us all

Maybe you have drained the battery in recovery and charged it while it was in recovery or it was off.
I literally watched it do this. No reboots or anything. The most interesting part is the increasing red line. I gained battery slowly while it wasn't even charging

Why don't you go to sprint and tell them your battery is acting up they should be able to test it and replace it for you without needing your phone.

My home key is also very snappy, with no discernible lag. I'm running completely stock (unrooted) as well.
there's definitely a lag.. not as bad as the gs3, but it takes a second or so to register back to home.
how many things do you guys have on your screen?? my theory is that the more on the screen, the more lag going home. there's never launcher redraw, so maybe that's senses way of doing it. Instead of redrawing everyone you go home, it just takes a little longer. all of my screens are filled with icons or widgets lol

Yeah, definitely not as bad as the gs3. I wanted to throw mine before I figured it out was because of S-Voice. I only have three home screen with a total of five widgets. I would figure that with 2gb of ram and a quad that it wouldn't be necessary to lag like that. Going to try a different launcher and see.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 2
anyone else still noticing this? i mean, it's kind of annoying me lately lol so i want to know if everyone's is like this, which i would assume it is. it's not as instant as the S3 with S-voice turned off..it's about as laggy as the S3 with s-voice turned on.
It's instant for me, I'm running Clean Rom, 1728 oc, with Launcher Pro.

hmm, perhaps it's the sense launcher itself.
I've been using LauncherPro all these years and never noticed it hasn't been updated since 2011 so I just switched to Nova and it's just as snappy.
Maybe it's Sense that seems not as fast.
yeah its most likely the sense launcher. no biggie. lol

Battery life isn't great. Please help

OK guys so I see people getting 7-9hrs screentime on 4g and I don't nearly get that. In just 32minutes of use I lost 7%. I'm on 3g no WiFi gps or BT. Here are some screenshots. I tried clean ROM and jellybeanz with Perseus and stock kernels. Any idea? I'd like as much screen time as possible.
Thanks so much

This may sound rediculous but I notice somedays my battery runs down a lot quicker than other days. Doesnt make sense but thats how it seems to me. Are you using the cable that came with the phone and plugging into a wall outlet?
3g eats a lot more battery from what I have seen...LTE and Wifi are the easiest on battery. That being said I still don't think 3g should be causing that much drain...I bet you have a rogue app since the app usage shows 50%

Download better battery stats and grant it super user rights. Let your phone sit for a couple hours (without touching it) and pay your read out from it here. It seems like you have an app going crazy, but just simply looking at your installed apps won't help.

Open it to grant super user. Then let your phone sit for at least an hour or two. It's best overnight. Then post your kernel wake lock, partial wake locks and alarms.

You had the phone on for 9hrs and only dropped to 93%? Why r u complaining.? 40 minutes screen time at 93% after 9hrs off charger isn't bad at all. If I'm seeing that right.
thats correct, but while using it for a straight 60mins, it drops over 15%

As these "NC2" based Roms are nothing more than pieces pulled from nc2 and modded Build.prop's that I don't agree with, I've pulled my posting. No further development will be made.

Thanks for making this Joe!! Been wanting to try Dynamic for a while but when jtrain put out his S5 Experience I had to try that out. Was thinking that Brian's Dynamic with S5 goodies would be great and then you put this out...lol Dl'd and about to flash now!
tried flashing the rom, but it didn't seem to work. not sure if i'm suppose to flash dynamic first and yours on top?
Does it still fc when you tap themes on the home screen settings and of course the fingerprint scanner options (if it's there)
Sorry for the delay, busy weekend.
I've learned the lesson of messing with your phone and conversating with kids at the same time. Unfortunately I've gotten myself stuck on the unrootable MLG. I'll continue to work on this best I can without being to test it unfortunately. I might just trade my note on craigslist for a rootable one if there's one out there as I don't see root for 442 coming soon...
