I just noticed that my S voice no longer works. I'm on stock rooted ROM (LE8 Bell) with KT747 kernel....is it because I'm not using a stock kernel? I tried uninstalling S Voice and installing some of the other APKs i found kicking around and am still getting network error.
Help?
Thanks in advance
Don't think so it didn't worn in mine either I'm stock I opened a thread last Friday n others also reported as similar
I just noticed mine was doing the same today. I am on Telus with root and stock rom, stock kernel.
Tried it again later on and it worked. Weird.

If happens again try this:
Clear S-voice app data then soft reset.
Settings> Application Manager> All> Svoice> clear data.
Then
Power off device> remove battery for at least 30 seconds> replace battery> power on> should be all fixed up.

My experience is the thing is just spotty and I attribute it to a few million users coming online with it at once giving it a test spin.

Ok, so is anyone else having any of these problems:
- When using camera, screen turns off and on when it tries to focus.
- Receiving SMS issues until reboot.
- Issues going from 4G to 3G, or 3G to or from WiFi, or 4G to WiFi.
- Screen responsiveness issues.
- Random rebooting.
- GPS issues.
Most problems are resolved after a reboot but then come back progressively as I use the phone. I'm rebooting 3-4 times per day. I thought this was Android, not BlackBerry...
I'm not rooted and have already factory reset like 2 or 3 times. My Dinc didn't even have this many problems. :/

Also, when listening to music for a certain amount of time, it just stops and then phone becomes unresponsive till reboot. Not sure if that is a PowerAMP issue or not.

Try flashing an update.zip rom of your device using recovery mode. Might need root. Depends on devices though. Mg N1 works without rooting.
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA Premium App
Where would I be able to get that? And how do I boot into recovery? My Incredible was rooted and before the last update, it was power and volume down. Then after the update, it changed to power and volume up.
Also, I did reboot my phone and my camera still doesn't work. I'm going to try to clear the data from the application manager
UPDATE: Clearing data from camera didn't have an effect

I guess you should Google for the steps to go into recovery for Incredible... not familiar with it.
For the rom go search your build number on XDA. You can use custom ones too I guess.
But sometimes it goes 'signature verification failed. Action aborted'. Ask senior members for that. I cannot solve it.

What kind of screen responsiveness issues are you having? Mine seems to "slow" down a lot after a day and a half of uptime, a reboot fixes it but it's annoying to have to reboot that often just because the touch input slows down so much I can't use the phone.
Hey ladies and gentlemen,
I am using stock ics rooted and am having sound issue. When I switch to silent mode everything goes silent as intended but when I switch back all sounds work minus text notifications. I usually have to restart phone to get it working. Any ideas? Thanks
Out of curiosity are you using a system notification tone or one that you downloaded? Does the vibration still work?
Yes. I am using pixie dust. And other programs like gmail and group me do not sound. It makes no sense. Thinking about going back to cm9 anyways.
Try wiping cache and dalvik cache. Also try fixing permissions

I have the same problem. I find a soft reset fixes the issue. Oh I am on stock ATT ics 4.0.3
Glad I am not the only one. Even soft tests aren't working anymore. I will wipe cache now and give status update.
you realize there is a separate setting in the messaging app for notification sounds I hope. I'm assuming you've already tried changing this.
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk 2
Yes I do realize that. It works randomly. As of now sounds are back after wiping cache but I have not switched to silent mode yet. Will update once I switch to that mode and back to normal.
are you using a seperate launcher? if so its probably that needs update. i had same issue on go launcher but when i switched back to stock launcher the issue went away. wow i said launcher alot.
I was using stock tw launcher but just now switched to ported sgs3 launcher. Wiping the cache worked for a couple hours but back to the same problem.
You may have to wipe and start over to clear it up :-( I hate to say that, but sometimes it's the easiest fix. Orr....is there maybe a market app that could do what you want ? I know it sucks reinstalling everything when you've got a bunch of apps. Or try just wiping/system and flash over top of your current set up?

I have the same problem, reboot solves the problem only temporarily. I spoke with AT&T support and they had no record if this. If you Google this problem, you will see it is not only happening with AT&T, but with T Mobile Galaxy S 2 phones that have updated to ICS. I will have a conversation with Samsung this coming week and will post results of my conversation here.
In the last few days my phone has continuously been switching itself off or freezing and the only way to get it to work again is pulling the battery or resetting it. The phone is stock, running Android 4.1.2 with firmware I9300XXELLA.
I did notice the phone had switched itself off a few times before now, but now it has got to the point where its happening all the time. I've also noticed that when the phone is booting back up after the lock screen appears the message "Currently unable to download please try again later" is coming up (which I think is more than likely the problem, but when I do attempt to update the phone it says its up to date).
So far I've tried running without an SD card, clearing Touchwiz homes data and switching off auto updates but these have made no difference. If anyone can offer any help it'd be really appreciated as the last thing I want to do is exchange the phone as it can be a pain in the butt.
Tried factory reset? I would suggest flashing the same firmware using odin and see if that makes any difference beforehands.

I've only ever used kies so will have to investigate Odin.
Out of curiosity is there actually a manual way to check for updates through Kies, as I can't for the life of me see how too?
If there is an update, kies would show you the next firmware details below your current one I think.

Hi, I'm laso getting the same issue with I9300XXELLA via Kies.
I've reset, cleared the cache and cancelled any restores but still it happening.
I'm going to downgrade to an older version to see if it resolves this.
I had to do a factory reset in the end and that fixed the problem. Still a bit annoying though as it took me a day to get everything back to how it was and like an idiot I forgot to backup my SMS messages and call history even though I had an app installed that could do it (SMS backup+).
Recommend one from ritesh or something. Works like charm every time I used it so far

Fixed
I wanted to test before posting but I ended up installing 4.1.1 then updating to 4.1.2 without wiping. Very strange.
As an update to this thread the problem came back even after I did a factory reset. I didn't get the unable to download error message but I did keep getting the odd freeze. However after a day of doing it the problem weirdly stopped happening and now 'touch wood' is fine again.
I also wiped cache and reset my phone running stock 4.1.2 on O2. The freezing problem seems to have gone, it's been a couple of days now and no issues. I should say that the only thing I haven't put on yet is Flash, I have a feeling it might be problematic?

Ironically I think the reason my phone was freezing the odd time after I factory reset it was because I didn't have flash installed. After I sideloaded it the phone hasn't had any more issues (this could be a coincidence though).
Ive just ran the eMMC checker that nhariamine linked to and it says that my chip is susceptible to sudden death (VTU00M, revision 0xf1) and is an insane chip.
Does Samsung's most recent firmware address this, an if not can I get them to replace my phone even if it doesn't die?
The second day after I did a factory reset my phone froze once too and it hasn't since then(about a week) I'm still afraid of installing flash. I use Dolphin browser and I can set the user agent to iPad which loads HTML5 versions of videos etc, obviously this only works on sites that have this possibility. I guess I'm trying to wean myself of flash for now.

That it's an insane chip lol I was basically preparing myself for my phone to die. Since wiping my phone it's only froze once in the last week. I still haven't installed flash.

I have had this same issue for the past week and have just downloaded the eMMC checker and it seems I too have the phone that is susceptible to SDS.
I have noticed though that the phone only freezes when wifi is switched on though. I dont have any problems with wifi off. I downloaded lagfix from the playstore and ran that and it reduced the freezes from about 20 in a day to 3. I didnt realise wifi was the issue for me at that time though so it could be coincidental.
Updating Roms etc has not worked at all for me. If it keeps up for a few weeks i think i will need to change phones as its way too frustrating for a top tier phone to do this.
Same problem here
I've upgraded OTA few days ago... did a factory rest because the phone was slow... and yesterday the problem appeared out of no where!

4.1.2
Disabling "WiFi Power Save Mode" seems to solve it
1. Open up the Galaxy S3 phone dialer
2. Then dial *#0011#
3. Look for the “ServiceMode” screen and press the left menu button
4. Select “WiFi”
5. You should see that the “WiFi Power Save Mode” button is “ON” – now put it on “OFF”'
Re: Galaxy S 3 keeps freezing every 5 mins (50+ freezes a day)
I took this post from another thread, but it seems to be doing the trick for me too. Especially for those who are not rooted. Big thanks to linnuxxy

I don't know if its my network or the kernel. But after flashing the 4aceskernel last night i enabled the fast charged and left it all night with airplane mode on,so i don't get bother. Now this morning i disable airplane off and fast charger off,and i enable my data and roaming, after that i try to get on play store,and it stock on loading with the circle going around,after couple seconds it says connection timeout. I dint pay attention to it, i left it alone.later on i try to use the Facebook app i couldn't it stock on loanding and after couple minutes it says network error. I went to my browser and search something on Google and it was working. I search the letters b,c,d just to check if it was my network. But it turn out that it wasn't my network at lease that's what I'm thinking.so i had some twrp backups from different ROMs and in all of them it still the same problem. I can use the internet to search even i can use xda and i can download ROMs but i cant use the data on any gapps. Or even the Google voice on the stock,opera,chrome,Firefox,dolphin browser. Not even gmails or Facebook. Yes my apn settings are correct.my accespoint is selected in my network.by the way i use net10. I search on Google about this problem but it just show different problems with the network nothing related to my issue. Help in need! Remember all this happen after flashing the kernel #31. Just to get this clear im not blaming this on the kernel because i don't even know if the kernel have to do anything with this,since I'm the online with this issue .but i came here because this the only thing i flashed last night. Any help will be appreciated guys/girls.
I'm on lattes jellyb*m ROM but like I say I went back to stock roms even GB,ICS,jb nothing that I do make my data works correctly.

Hi all.
My better half is having a hard time with her s3.
She was on 4.1.2 on Orange in the UK. She told me that 'Internet' kept popping a message up saying that it had unfortunately stopped working.
I tried to clear the cache bit it wouldn't display the option under app settings for some reason. The phone was really slow and had a lot of crap installed.
To get around this i installed chrome which worked as a temporary fix.
Later I upgrade her to 4.3 via some EE firmware.
This seemed to make the phone much quicker but Internet remained the same.
Next step - factory reset. This again made no difference but as the phone was much more snappy, she was okay using Chrome...
1 day later... Her messages app has broken and hangouts too. Anything that involves sms doesn't work and I can't work it out.
Does anyone have any ideas? It doesn't make sense that it was working fine for a day but gone kaput all of a sudden.
Thanks in advance

Two questions:
1- which rom build did you install (showed in 'about device-> build number)
2- is the phone sim-unlocked?
