Remove the app and clear any data that may be left behind. I've never had this issue on any of my phones

Go to Settings -> Apps -> All and then look for whatsapp. Clear the cache and data and force stop it. Start it again and hopefully the problem should be gone.

Haven't had this issue with whatsapp on HSPA+. Just introduced a friend to whatsapp the other day, had her send me a picture when I was sitting right next to her, and I received it nearly instantly.

no problems on mine using H/H+ on t-mobile

Yea the real problem is when the wifi is on less on 3g.
Tried to remove the data and reinstall the app and it seems to make no difference.. Very fraustrating.

I uninstalled whats app and reinstall it again and im still having the same problem?

[Q] Launcher performance

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.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
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...

[Q] Help - Detect App(s) randomly turning the screen on

As per the title I get a strange behavior with the screen randomly (every 30 mins) when in sleep mode.
It happens both with data and sync on and in flight mode.
I'm on the latest fw of my intl. S3, I had this issue since the beginning.
I'm rooted.
How can I detect what is causing it? Is there an app?
Tx for your help.
Maybe your network doesnt support fast dormancy.

It happens both via 3G and Wifi (where my ICS Tablet does not have the issue).
More importantly it happens in flight mode.
Thanks but I think it is an app or an OS part.
So, is this the cause ??
Happens with me too, but I am unrooted to try this method.

I have not tried, but I don't think it is a network related issue as it happens also when in Flight mode (everything switched off).
Make sense?

I tried in the past with no luck.
Partial wakelocks gives to me a huge numbers of apps/services. I do not see the option to have "the last one that caused the screen to go on".
Can you help me to narrow the search?
Help me!!
Am I the only with this issue???
It happened to me tonight, but I have never noticed it until now.
If u got the official Facebook app installed, then uninstall it and see what happens.
Otherwise uninstall your apps 1 by 1, untill u find the rouge app.this caused by an app

To do it all my 100++apps would be crazy time consuming, I'll live with the bug!

I had the exact same issue, and the same question a day or two ago.
I did what a previous user stated, I traced back my steps and uninstalled the latest apps I had installed and then installed one by one and found the one causing the problem. Unfortunately I cannot remember which app it was for me, but it can be any one of them.
Guess there must be a way to log all current system activity to a file and once it happens, check the log?

The problem with the "bug" in this case is that it drains battery power unnecessarily

The screen flash twice or 3 times every 30 mins, for a couple of seconds.
It is a drain, but I don't think a huge one.

SMS stock app keeps freezing

Got a new LGOG last week. I am on stock 4.0.4.
I am experiencing a problem that is the messaging app freezes quite frequently. I was wondering what could be the reason behind this error.

Mine does that atleast once a day. I noticed when I'm deleting messages that's when it freezes and has to force close. Or sometimes when I'm trying to create a new text message it freezes. It's really annoying.

People, try to provide more information so we can try to help. Now that the LGOG is rooted and unlocked and we have three ROMs several mods and scripts in the forum it helps if you can provide if you are stock or modded and to what extent. There are lots of experienced people in this forum but we can't help without you helping us....:

I was using the stock ROM and the SMS app was freezing.
Then I rooted unlocked and installed base 0.7.3 which is my current ROM just to solve the sms issue. Still the SMS app freezes and force closes especially when i delete some conversations. It freezes all the times if i delete some conversation while there is some group sms in sending.

Now that you mentioned it it happened to me yesterday. When deleting conversations. I'm set up just like you. I wonder if there are a batch of bad phones out there. Sorry my post was for the other person to provide more info
Edit; going to flash x's Rom to see if that helps

It seems more related to software than hardware. let's hope x's ROM does the trick.

I think it's a common problem with almost all the phones. LG should pay attention and fix this.

Freezes after every Google Play update notification

Since upgrading to Jellybean Optus edition my phone freezes every time there's pending updates in Google Play. I dont actually get to know about the notification until I reboot. Then it comes through. Turning off auto update doesn't seem to make a difference. I don't know what to check if there is some conflict with an app that Ive installed that could be causing the lockup.
Regards
Pete

I tried that and it didn't fix the problem. I am suspecting that Instagram may be causing the problem as it this has been running in the background each time the freeze occurs.

App collision by instagram? if you really think that is the reason send a bug report to instagram dev's.
Try uninstalling instagram and check whether the problem occurs again though.

[Q] Can't send/receive MMS since the update

Anyone else having this issue? When trying to send it just clocks, and the same thing happens when trying to receive. I've rebooted, and changed the mobile network from Global to CMDA/LTE etc but still no luck.

Did you try clearing data on messaging app? That usually fixes any issues.

I actually just did a system wipe a couple days ago. I turned off "auto retrieve" for MMS and it seems to be working better for now.
