Hi, I have a problem with the stock browser on my Galaxy S3 not starting properly after the device has been in standby mode.
I can start the browser if it is not running, and everything works ok. If I press the home button, then leave the phone with the browser running in the background it will not load any pages afterwards. When I try to start the browser it just hangs with a white screen and the progressbar stuck at a few percent. Then the browser will disappear. I try again and the same happens. The third time it works perfectly again. (It never hangs more than 2 times)
Does anyone know what causes this problem? I haven't been able to find any reports of this problem from anyone else.
Thanks

Wipe the data of the internet app in settings, apps, all. If that doesn`thelp do a data/factory reset , if that didn`t help reflash the rom.

Ok, I'm gonna keep it as short as possible.
I got a used S2, it was fine, it told me that it had to do a software update, so I did (the phone was being charged). When I turned it on, there was no homescreen, just black.. after a while it said something like "application is not responding".. the top bar still works and by using that I could get into the playstore and installed Nova Launcher. Then I got a new homescreen and menu, but lock screen still doesn't work. If the phone gets rebooted or if I press back sometimes, it gets back into the black screen and freezes, showing the not responding message again.. The camera and Whatsapp also don't work. I did factory reset, cashe wipe, tried rooting it with Odin, it still has this problem..
My head is exploding. Does anyone know what else I can try? Or like a way to make a launcher (for example Nova Launcher) the start-up homescreen?
Have you tried Odin'ing a stock firmware back to it? Its worked every time I've bricked mine

I tried CF-roots.. I'm searching for a firmware, but I don't know which one I need. The phone is from Switzerland, but I don't see Switzerland listed anywhere.
Edit: I also tried I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar

For Odin firmwares, check this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1544487
its where I grabbed my first few ICS updates before I gave up on TW and moved on to AOKP
Also, it doesn't really matter where you're handset's from, as long as you only flash the firmware/software for the i9100 (as opposed to i9100g or i777 or something) its fine, the code's universal, and it doesn't change the system language when you flash it, and as long as you're not going from 4.1 back to 4.0, it keeps all your apps, setting, data, son and so forth without an issue (so if you're on 4.0.4 at the moment, you shouldn't have an issue going back to 4.0.3 is that's all you can find)

I did, still nothing.
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?

SDS SYMPTOMS --------- Solution : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2091045
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.

Out of curiosity what does eMMC checker say about your phone when you run it?
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.

Uninstalled flash to see if it helps.

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

Having an issue with the "touch" on this rom. Been running it for a while and now suddenly random apps
open when I touch the left side of the screen. It doesnt matter what app i'm in. Also the back button stops
working at random. Ive cleaned cache and dalvik, cleared data and done a clean install and the problem
is still there. Tried fixing permissions to no avail. Anyone else having this issue or any recommendations?

I'd try a different rom first; if that doesn't work, try flashing back to stock. If that still doesn't work, it kind of sounds like a hardware problem

Try disabling multi-window or long pressing back button to make the side dock appear. I had a problem where the left side of the screen was launching apps at random and it turned out to be that the dock for multi-window was acting as though it was open, even though I couldn't see it. I think I was able to stop it by showing then re-hiding the multi-window dock.
That makes sense. I will give it a shot. Certainly seems like that is exactly what is happening. Thanks

I was having that happen for a little while also, but it wasn't on RLS7, it was an earlier one, maybe 5.7. Anyway, I'm pretty sure I remember disabling the multi-window and that fixed it.
Hello! Im experiencing lag at some places like going to never settle page on home screen, into app drawer. For a few moments then it goes away, any ideas? Or someone has the issue
I have never observed it, everything works like lightning from the beginning, zero interface lags. I recommend you do a wipe cache partition, it will not reset your data and it will definitely help.

Same here, using stock launcher. Doesn't happen often, however the stalls last approx 20 to 30 sec or so, for me mostly while browsing the internet by chrome ..
