Before someone suggests factory reset, I have, and it's made no difference at all D:
Frames are now dropping all the time where on gingerbread they were fine. Small freezes in typing occasionally, very often scrolling lag as well as some laggy Temple Run and other games!
I have Autokiller and SetCPU running, turning them off and on doesnt appear to make a difference. What could be the cause?

Try to change the CPU Governor to Hot plug instead of Interactive.
On GB the default Governor was Moto Hotplug.

Did you wipe cache during reset? You need to do that.
Would the cache not be wiped in a full data reset? If not, how should I go about doing this?
I have already tried Hotplug btw, no noticeable difference was made.

No, cache was not wiped. It's hard for me to type out how to do it from my phone.
Clear cache:
When phone is off, press and hold vol up + down together, and hold power button.
Press vol down to select recovery, press up to enter.
Press vol up + down together when u see danger android.
Press vol down 3 times to select wipe cache partition.
press power button to wipe.
Try...
In autokiller what setting do u use? Try to go higher (aggressive)
Also, turn on gpu rendering in developer setting under settings.
Keeping to interactive makes the phone smoother, which is why motorola uses that for the buggy ICS.
Lastly, install chainfire3d and set reduce texture quality for "jerky" games.
Okay, sounds like a plan. Just before I clear the cache, what are the side effects? Im obviously not an expert on this kind of thing, will it erase any data? Should I have done it at the same time as the data reset?
Ill try changing other settings again if this doesnt work, although there is no reason in the world why the Razr shouldnt play Temple Run at full settings!

Cleared the cache, no difference whatsoever.

Any more input? This is really bugging me so I may try ROMing if no one has a clue, although I do like the Motoblur interface.

Mine is buggy too. Yesterday it kept opening Tango, text messaging, phone, email. When I pushed back button they would just open again like it was stuck. Then it proceeded to send random text messages to the last person I tested, just random characters. Thought about calling in for warranty replacement as I have factory reset like 5 times and removed a bunch of apps and ran clean. Browsing Internet is remarkably slower. Have to turn phone off at least twice a day.

I'm currently running the supercharged script on my phone and I was wondering if it was safe to factory reset the phone. Also would I lose the supercharged script?
While you're here, can someone tell me how we get into stock recovery? Same as the X?

Bump? Does anyone know?

If you are doing a factory reset, I would remove the supercharge script and reapply it after the fact. Can you elaborate on the stock recovery... not sure what it was like on the X.
To pull up the Android Recovery, power off the phone, holding the volume down button power on the phone. Release both buttons when you see "Fastboot". Press the volume down button until you see "Android Recovery" and press both volume buttons. Not sure if this is the same as what you are looking for or not.
Ok, exactly what I was looking for. Should I also restore bloat or can that stay frozen?
Sent from my DROID X2 using XDA Premium App
If you restore with apps frozen, it will more than likely unfreeze them by default. I've never done a factory reset with frozen apps myself, but that is the going consensus. On a side note, if you want to leave the supercharge script in place, you can verify it is still running using the script manager after the reset. Setting up the supercharge script isn't very hard to do.
Alright thank you for the info sir. I always had a custom rom to depend on with my Fascinate so its a bit of a challenge with this one.

How do I perform a complete factory reset....All data wiped? Is it possible? I've searched and can't find the answer.
I should add...I'm having a helluva time with random reboots and I'm trying everything before returning the phone. (I have a zagg installed)
The factory reset under Settings -> SD & phone storage doesn't wipe the data?
If not, you can totally power off the phone (pull the battery), and hold volume- while you power it back on, that should get you the recovery menu. There is a factory reset option in there. If you want to totally restore to stock, you can download the original SD card contents in the development section here and then format the sd card and put the original content back on.
Open up your dialer, hit ##786#, then put your msl in, then select menu, then select restore. Then it will reboot.. This will completely restore everything, including data, settings, it will wipe everything.

I go right into Hboot to factory reset. (Phone off)Hold Vol down & press Power. You'll see the option. Use your volume key to select & press power. BOOM!
Or you can use the above suggestions
Thanks guys...I tried the hboot method 1 time b4 and my data remained....all downloaded w/w and everything. But this time it worked perfectly. Let's see if this solves my rebooting problem. I just installed that 20 dollar damned zagg screen protector. I really appreciate all of the quick responses.

Depending on where you bought the Zagg, you can take it off and have it re-installed for pretty cheap usually.

When setting up your phone, uncheck allow Google to back up your data. Also, go into settings>privacy>uncheck back up my settings.
My settings keep force closing on me whenever I try to click on something to get more information. For example when I went to motion and clicked the smart alert button to learn more it would freeze and then force close on me every time. Is anybody else experiencing this? I'm on stock rooted rom.
(Also the xda premium app force closes a lot too.. Just a side note.)

boot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache and that should fix it. Also, what rooted rom are you running?
I pretty much on stock rooted rom, it's actually Whitehawks debated stock rom. And all I did was flash that rom and use Robinsons aroma debloater full debloat. That was a long time back and then I just installed my regular market apps. The setting things I just noticed a couple days back. I didn't go into settings much. Gapps also frequently force closes too, I don't know what's causing it.
The xda force close is because I think something is wrong with the app. I saw reviews on play saying the same thing.
But yeah I didn't mess with freezing or un installing with tit bacmup.
I'll try and do the dalvik wipe and see what happens.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Tried doing the dalvik and cache wipe problem persists. The settings just force close when I learn more about smart alert and like try it and others like it, also on phone status. It just bugs me.
I really don't want to wipe and install again

Bootloop on GB is Lee's ROM problem as i did experianced it onlly on his rom - FlyHigh Rom does not have that problem and been using it now for long time - very satisfied i must admit.
It was mention b4 that do not discharge Flyer completlly. As solution i guess u already did only wipe cach and dalvik and battery stats - leaving out data?
And ofc no TBackup with data on that app?
Well I didn't intentionally let the battery run dead, I was low on charge like below 20% and my son wouldn't stop crying so I was playing music to try and calm him down, and oops! It died. Yeah was on senseless, and I cleared all cache and reinstalled the Rom without whipping and no dice. I can't help but think there has to be something cached some where that is keeping it from booting. Maybe I should logcat it. How do I do that exactly?

So anyone got some kind of insite? Dalvik cache is boot cache right? You'd think that would do it but it's not. I wonder if I wipe the battery stats if it might help, system might still think that battery is dead.
What its doing exactly is starting up, going to the senseless boot screen, then rebooting, and after the white screen it just goes black and stalls. It's still turned on but its black. I have to shut it off through hboot right now.
Just don't get why running the battery dead would do this, my vivid has terrible battery life and I run it dead all the time. Something has to be cached that won't let it boot. Hmmm.... Maybe an hboot flash?

Make a nandroid backup then just reinstall the rom and restore data through advanced restore? Will that not work?
To run logcat - Download the Android SDK if you haven't already and open the DDMS.bat executable from /Android-SDK/Tools then plug in your tablet and boot it, then when you see your device in the top left hand box click it then Device > Run logcat
If restoring the data partition doesn't work though you can always extract the app data from the data.img in the nandroid folder
maybe try
fastboot erase cache

I had the same problem last night only my phone haha.
Well not exactly the same, but I corrupted the Framework-res.apk so it wouldn't boot, I forgot to make a backup so my only choice was to go back to the stock rom, which conveniently wouldn't flash because my phone was updated and Huawei haven't released the full package for the update! Aah. Ended up having to manually extract my sms and contacts from the data partition then downgrade the phone, reinstall the software then update it again. Never again in my life. haha.
Woo hoo it worked! Thank god, I didn't feel like setting my flyer all up again. Thanks for the suggestion!

Hi,
I have 3 issues. Hope somebody can help:
1: Phone operates too slow. For example when I go to menu, app icons take around 5 seconds to appear. Similarly when I go to home screen it takes the same lag. So much delay that I could capture the screen short. You can see that weather clock and alarm widgets didn't appear. I cleared cache several times n restarts but it works fine for few mins n then again becomes laggy.
2: Keyboard disappears after typing few letters and sometimes it takes several secs to get it back. Reappearing delay is may be related to the above problem of slow response but why it disappears in first place.
3: Battery doesn't charge despite the whole night charging. Its happens not do often but really bugging me. I noticed that whenever I get missed notifications like calls or msgs it stops charging. Not sure why it's happening.
Looking forward to some help from experts. Please note that I feel these problems are occurring more after recent update. I'm using stock Rom of intl s3 version.
Thanks

I am also on XXBLFB and facing no such issues. You should check if some app is not eating a lot of RAM.
Jelly Bean won't be available for this region anytime soon keeping in view the time it took S2 to receive ICS update here.
I suspect the same. my RAM doesn't go below 600mb even if I close all apps and clear ram from task manager. After restart, phone behaves well for an hour but then again becomes laggy. My S2 is much faster than this with lot more apps. This S3 is really disappointing me.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
my suggestion is to do a factory reset (after backing up your contacts, messages, notes etc). then download your apps again and note the behavior of phone after each app. You might find the culprit then. It doesn't seem like an issue with the update since I also updated mine. Also very less likely its gonna be hardware issue.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Maybe the CPU is not working at its entire power. If the factory reset is not working, maybe you should go and replace the device, before it's too late. When you bought it ? If the phone have less than 30 days you should get an instant replace. Not sure that JB will help you, as the installation isn't like a "full format" of your phone
Hard reset: *2767*3855# (no warning message before formating, so type it when you're ready, also remove the sdcard if you don't want wiped too.)
Or *#*#7780#*#* - Factory data reset - Clears Google-account data, system and program settings and installed programs. system will not be deleted, and OEM programs, as well as My Documents (pictures, music, videos)
Thanks. Will get in touch with the vendor for replacement (though I'm sure he will not agree that easily) or else will do a complete reset. I'm really pissed off for spending this much for getting this device. Samsung is very serious in pushing their loyalists away!

Sometimes, there can be some errors. You know, nobody's perfect and we are all humans. After one week after I bought my phone, I found that it have sort of scratch on the screen, but looked like inside of it. It could be seen only in high light. The vendor replaced it instantly. This one is perfect. Love it and is extremely fast and I have many apps on it. Good luck!

Check in task manager, you should have an idea about how is going bad. Also change the antivirus for Avast. Avast is much better. However I recommend without antivirus. I just scan sometimes my phone with it or lookout but never leave the antivirus installed. Is just a waste of RAM memory.
If nothing works do a full backup with Kies and do the complete factory reset.
Most of the apps will be automatically reinstalled when you add back your Google account, but you need the backup for settings and saves.

Even with all the apps I have on my phone the RAM usage is around 580-640 (stupid SwiftKey using 45 mb most of time) and when I kill the apps I have 430 mb, slowly increasing til 530. Try reset, you have nothing to lose.
