Hey guys
Today, I installed Android Revolution 4.0 for my GS3.
My last OS was 4.0.1 or something, I completely wiped it.
But now I got a really anoying problem.
When you first boot a newly installed phone, there are many messages telling you how you can add widgets etc.
I deactivated every single message, but one just won't go away!
It's the message which pops up when you reactivate your phone from standby, saying that you can slide over one of these shortcuts to start the App.
Does anyone have a clue how to remove this??
Greetings

Settings > application manager > all
Find an app called help and disable it.
Reboot.
Problem solved.

So everytime when I open the contacts app and press the bar with the lettres on the right side it freezes the app for about 1-3 seconds and then the app continues to work like normal. This behaviour occurs everytime I re-open the app.
Is this common behaviour?

Same. Stock Samsung. Latest build. So the s3 cannot handle a mere 400 contacts under its hood?

I've also have an issue with accessing the dialer.. Dialer takes 1-2 seconds to launch and then when switching from dialpad to contacts, there's also another slight 1 second lag. It has occured on both my stock TW rom and my current - Wanamlite+Siya kernal. Have rebooted and cleared memory many times, but same results.
Cold wakes on the phone also develops a 1-2 second lag to power on the screen.. but turning off/on right after is instantaneous.
Other applications and menus launch smoothly and I don't experience any low memory problems.

I don't even have that much. Looks like it's just some kind of bug.
After a factory reset it's still present. Guess it's a software bug.

Yea, when I used CM9 there wasn't any lag.. only TW based roms as Omega rom seemed to exhibit it too for me.
It seems to be present in the music app too. Really annoying. Samsung should fix this.

Are you on the latest XXLG8 update? I just updated it and it seemed to have improved the lag quite a bit. I also cleared the phone data in the application manager. Still a bit present but usually more so only on the first run..it seems much more bearable now.

It's not yet released in my country. I'll just have to wait for it I guess.
after flashing a rom i got this issue too
but after a while its gone :silly:
i have the exact same problem too, ive tried over a dozen roms including stock, but the contacts app still lags sometimes for a second and up till 3, currently on clockwork mod recovery, siyah (latest), checkrom v4.
i guess it could be a problem if you have linked contacts to facebook, whatsapp and skype, but i dont know i would have to do some testing before i can tell for sure.
anyone come across a script/fix/modded contacts.apk file yet?
I have the same issue. having such an issue in the latest phone of samsung is very annoying. hope this will be fixed in jelly bean update.
the problem appear if you have contact with a lot contact image..try to disable media scanner
Check out "Rescan Media ROOT" - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot

Look in accessibility menu, maybe you will be able to unactivate it
(you could also look to Text to speech features in input menu)
Also, maybe this is a setting of your app, but we don't know which one it is, so...
If this is a part of an app, check in it's settings. Else, go to the applications label in the settings, go to the manage all apps tab, and scroll down to the voice apps. Disable them, or clear all data of the app. This should solve your problem

Go to settings > accessibility > services > talkback ..and switch off the talkback option..your problem will be solved....and if there is any other app in the "services" then switch that off also coz there is some bug in 4.1.2 coz of which even if talkback option is off, it is used by other app in that services..my problem was solved by doing that n I hope ur's also be solved..

Hello friends..
I appreciate having a place to ask this question. Verizon pushed out the jelly bean 4.3 update.. I have done a delay but how can i stop it, delete the updater and make it never ask again? I am nit an expert with phones, thiugh i a, a geek for many decades! So a n00b here.. I am hoping to find something out today as i dont see how i can stop it. There was no way to get rid of the screen without delaying.. And now i am afraid i am messed up. I finally got wireless working, and i dont really want any of the new enhancements. When i upgraded to ice cream well.. That took forever to fix. Lol
Thanks for your help.
Smiles your way... And much appreciation,

I disabled software update under application manager and have not been asked to update since.

What application do you disable
I have gone throu all the applications, but not sure whichine to disable.. Nor am i sure you make it disable.. There is nit an option to disable..that i see.
There are so many applications, and which exact one? I am not sure.
Thanks for your information. Sorry i cant figure out how to do it!
Smiles to all.
It's called "software update". I have the Canadian version of the phone so it may be slightly different but it worked for me. Or if you get a notification to update, press and hold the notification then swipe down to expand it, it should say "app info". Click on "app info" then disable.

Hello... Thank you so much for writing. I did what you said, and the only option was to force stop. Disable was greyed. So i force stopped.. There is a clear cache button too. Not sure if i should clear the cache... Wy dont they want us to have a choice when or if to update!.?
Oh, on my handset it is called SDM
Is there anything else I can do? I really do appreciate your assistance...
Thank you... Smiles your way.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help, on my phone there is the option to disable so I don't know what else to do. Maybe try unchecking "show notifications" from the same "app info" screen?

I really appreciate your information and time. I wonder why they have so many differences for the software. Do you know If i clear the cache will it delete thhe downloaded update? I worry if i take off the notification.. Will it just install without telling me? You have been a big help. Smiles your way.

Hey gang,
I'm on a rooted Tmobile variant and I just recently noticed I don't have the Quick Memo app. It seems like it's called something else now but basically the same thing. I've not done anything other than rooting. I froze some apps but I went back into Titanium Backup just to be sure anything that could even remotely have disabled the app was defrosted. I found (what appears to be) the app in the system. I installed it via the apk... Checked the permissions etc. It just doesn't seem to be workin. I know it was before I rooted it last week..... Weird... Any thoughts on this?
Anyone had the same issue?

Try going to about phone option under settings and select update center. Select app updates and see if it's installed there.
