SGS3 Menu Screen Lag - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

Fix is in Jelly Bean update .

I am having this problem.

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.

Screen still redrawing

So after the update my screen is still redrawing from tike to time. Anyone else having this too?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
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!

Updated to what?
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.

But anyway, I heard a lot of people saying the homescreen redraw thing was gone comepletely. I however still experience it quite a lot. Anyone else still having this
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium on the >stock rom< (with the first update flashed ofcourse) and the >stock launcher<. I really don't care about rooted roms or custom launchers so please don't give me that crap in this thread.
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!

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.
Same problem here

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.
Mine is random, many different apps

Mine happened again. I've now uninstalled BetterBatteryStats. I'm going to start uninstalling stuff that uses root to roll that out. I've had these issues on stock but it happened rarely, lately it's been happening very frequently so something is going on.

I've had the same on mine. I rooted mine day 1, so no idea if it would have done it without root. I've defrosted everything in TB and still no luck.

Well I'm tired of the random hot reboots! Some people say it happened to them before rooting, but I don't believe it happened to me until I rooted and installed CWM touch......so I'm going back to stock to start all over again so I can try to narrow down the issue. I'll report back on my progress as it becomes available.

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.

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.

Anyone experienced slow charging on the leaks??

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 think it's probably a hardware thing.. but as it doesn't happen on ICS I guess I'm going to have to wait for the official ota to see if it still happens.
I hope not.. because the phone will have to be sent back.

No probs for me on the JB leaks. It's quite the opposite for me, pretty rapid charging i'm finding.

Try deactivating Media Scanner.
It was causing a huge battery drain.

Random Reboots.

I have been getting allot of random reboots, not while actually using the device but when it is just sitting there, on charger and off anyone have any experience with this?
Are these full reboots, with the LG and AT&T boot animations, or is it just the UI reloading? I havent ran into this at all on this phone. However, i have had an issue with the UI reloading with every Samsung device Ive ever had. Not sure what causes it or if your experiencing the same thing.
They are full reboots I normally catch it on the LG logo,I guess if no one else has come across it I'll go swap the phone out for another. Though my LG g2x had reboots till we had custom roms....

I went and exchanged my phone today for another, so we will see if that helps it. I am not sure though because I had a LG G2X and it had random reboots as well, it was only fixed with custom roms and kernels later so assuming we get unlocked bootloaders I am sure that will be fixed but till then I am not sure if I am going to keep this phone or not....

Your talking about "redraws" it has to do with the launcher (TouchWiz) or in some cases, RAM.

Where as I do not use the stock launcher, I use NOVA and well we have 2 gigs of ram... Plus mine have certainly been full reboots and the G2x did this same thing... we need to just hope for am unlockedbootloader.
I have had 1 random reboot so far. Hope it doesn't happen again.

I haven't seen any on my device. 11 days. Stock launcher.
All stock since Nov. 2nd. Zero reboots.
I returned my device for another, haven't seen a reboot so far.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I've had reboots as well. Around 4 times now and purchased the phone nov. 3. a couple times it was when the phone is just sitting there on stand by. one time it was while posting a picture on instagram. Another was taking a picture and looking at the photos... and when it does re start, it will restart 2 or 3 times at a time, like i see the lg logo 3 times, then finally the "rethink possible" logo, then the phone boots up and while or just after my media scanning of my sdcard finishes, it will automatically restart again... and this happens 2 or 3 times. for some reason I feel like it has something to do with me 64gb sd card but am not sure, i used to think it had something to do with eco mode but phone has restarted while it wasnt activated too... dunno how to fix, hopefully an update will come for a fix :/

Same here. Must have been a hardware thing.

I'm going to have to send mine in for warranty too, put a reboot logger on it and it's around 4-5 times per day. I should probably unroot it before I send it in I guess.

Widgetlocker Delay

Howdy!
I am suddenly experiencing a delay with WidgetLocker. When I hit the power button to wake my phone there is a 1-2 second delay with the clock. It doesn't sound like a lot but it takes a millisecond to check the time. I have never seen this before and its a really jarring experience to read 9:20 and then have it flash to 9:45 right as I click to relocl the screen.
I've done multiple searches and can't find anything other than one post that said this is normal since the phone is waking from "deep sleep" and there will always be a delay. I don't think this is right since I have used WidgeLocker on multiple phones over the last year or so and never noticed this. Its pretty hard to miss.
Any ideas or suggestions? I've tried rebooting, checked for updates, etc.
Thanks.

I would point to this as the problem. Even without widgetlocker this occurs. Not sure what rom you are on, if any, but have you tried the zero wake lag options? It stopped the problem for me.
I am on Beans 9. I recently had to do a restore from nandroid. I wonder if a setting didn't restore fully. I will check it out.
Is there any downside to zero lag options? Just wondering why it wouldn't be default.
Thanks!
