suddenly my samsung galaxy s3 keeps freezing and I have to make a hard reset every time. I tried to make factory reset, or wipe factory reset, but the same problem.
what should I do?
are you on SDS-safe firmware?
Dude, instead of creating yet another post with this, you could have searched to quite easily find out your phone is halfway dead and should be sent back to samsung for repair as soon as possible. Make it safe to return if you messed with it (flash original stuff, reset counter, etc, read a bit if you don't know what to do, it's all over these forums) and just take it in.
Don't take this the wrong way but you'd think it's common sense to just return any product (not even phone related) that it's malfunctioning instead of asking what to do to random people in a third party forum

use the sds safe précautions to prevent freezing

And what are the sds safe precautions or where can I find it?
just search in the general section
Device:GT-I9300 32gb
I have the same problem, this seems to be firmware related to me, the phone works in safe mode but this is really crappy now. I don't think there should be a return unless it's the only fix.Will try and flash JB and update the post.
Edit: Is that sds the Sudden death thing. I tried searching but no results come up. I am a new comer to Samsung as their devices sucked for ages and they still seem to do. Please can some one advise us(the op and myself and future people with this problem) on what is the main cause of this issue that a hard reset fixes it. But for my device,it doesn't die it stops functioning.
This is how I get this problem, my phone is rooted, but it runs fine only when there is a app crash the phone locks up and thats it.
what i tried: I tried to back up my data so i could save myself from reinstalling all my app. I hard reseted the phone and the phone functioned again
but after restoring my data the phone locks up again. Now my phone works about 5sec from normal boot but then locks up. It works fine in safe mode. So really where is issue? Is an app is making the whole OS to jam there has to be a simple fix for this.
Please don't say return the device, thats the dumbest thing to ever say. We want to over come the problem not ignore it/get rid of it.
Thanks for your time guys

My S3 started well and then "SUDDEN DEAD" :crying:
Well. I reverted back to 4.1.1 and no more random reboots or freezes. It was definitely ROM issue.
Any one tried new EMA2 rom? If yes, still freezing?

Mine was freezing constantly with MA1 and MA2 until I did what I posted above.
Now already 2 days without freezes.

Same problems here. Not sure about rooting. If I change the csc code and download the latest, say German update. would that change the rom and fix it ?

Probably not. Depends on what causes your problem.

I was getting similar behaviour too. Phone would freeze after making calls, sending msgs, using facebook, searching on google, basically random points anywhere. Went through uninstalling apps, did a factory reset, and through some trial and error finally pinned down where my problem was at least. It was caused by the latest version of MixZing. Was crashing before frequently, and after uninstalling it I've been using my phone fine all day with no crashes at all. Still potentially early days, but if I don't report back then that solved it for me.
A simple solution
ok guys.. this is something i tried and has been working for me for more than two days now:
the problem seems to be in the download manager included in the new android software so what you simply have to do is to disable this application whenever you're not using it.. you can do so in the settings>> applications manager>> view ALL>> select DOWNLOAD MANAGER and DISABLE..
of course this will stop the play store from functionning and will stop any automatic updates but will prevent the phone sudden death...
All you have to do when you want to download any new apps or update existing ones is to enable the download manager and i suggest before doing that to clear the RAM memory and try to be gentle and patient with the phone...
Just keep working like that till ANDROID finds a solution in the next update and your phone will be fine.. in the end its better than killing the machine with every freeze.
Remember to be patient and work slowly when the download manager is enabled
Reply if it worked for you

My first post here. Thanks for this tip. My phone was freezing every 3 minutes and so I did what you suggested after all other suggestions (except rooting - as I was worried I might brick the phone if it froze while rooting) didn't work. Anyway, just a few seconds after I hit "DISABLE", my phone froze! So I thought it's probably not working, but since the reboot, it hasn't crashed. Thanks!:good:

the same thing is happening to me and i have no clue why its happening it just like 3-4days ago but i have installed only clash of clans and clash royale in my phone. he most interesting thing is that all your phone feature will work but the screen will not for almost 20-30mins then it will recover on its own. all the call features are working well but no response from phone. my conclusion is this phone is totally a mess and i dont even know how i managed t use this device for 4years! it got super laggy after 6-7 months of use. Whatever i went to the service centre and they told that i need to change the motherboard of my s3 costing 130$.
For a few months at least now my galaxy ace has been having numerous problems - The main one being that most times when I receive a text I'll get it 3 or 4 times. I put up with that for quite a while, thinking it might just go away - I was wrong! After trying a few things that didn't work I decided to flash onto a different rom... whilst that seemed to work I started having other issues with the phone, until at one point it wouldn't accept my passcode so I couldn't get onto the phone, and so I did a reset, which fixed that issue. But after that I soon reverted back to the stock rom to avoid it happening again, and I have the same issue again where I receive texts multiple times, but over the past couple of days I also find it nearly impossible to write a text message! I'll press on the typing area, and when I type nothing appears... I fixed this in the end by downloading a task manager and killing just about everything - at which point it types (so I've established that it's down to the RAM usage) now the weird aspect I've found with my RAM is that despite nothing running it never goes below 200MB in use out of the 290MB.... Surely that isn't right? My phone runs incredibly slowly no matter what is happening and it's driving me crazy!
Any help would be greatly appreciated, I regret buying this phone so much now, but can't afford a new one at the moment
If you don't care about your data like sms, and are able to reinstall all ypur apps (use titanium backup for example), flash a new rom or the same if you want. It should be really faster, and then take care of your phone, restart it every one or two days to clean cache, don't install too many apps, our phone is not made for intensive use.
Hit thanks !

Hi, I'm backing up at the moment - Do you think it'd cause the issue again if I also back up/restore my data as well as the apps?
I'm backing up now, so I'll let you know how it goes!
Thanks :fingers-crossed:
I think it would be better to not restore all datas, only those that you need (game data and stuff like that) but not all system data. For contact sync with google, for sms use sms backup, but don t restore everything !
Hit thanks !

That seems to have helped with the texting issue! Thanks, hopefully it won't come back again in a few days!
ram usage above 200 is i think normal...
i have 40-45 apps installed on the phone..and ram usage is always just around 200 mb..
but still my phone runs very smooth..
if u want lesser ram usage, i suggest u should use an app called autorun manager and block some apps which constantly runs in the background..!!
Sent from my GT-S5830i using xda app-developers app
Yup it's normal
Mine was 230 all the time before using rafael kernel with domscript supercharger and crossbreeder entropy generator and now
It's 170
It's normal don't worry
Otherwise install the above things like I have done

hi
i have galaxy s3 with JB 4.1.2 rooted I9300 rom Poland
and my problems start
1 . Even after cleaning and after WIPE high fine
He first 600 of 833MB
After a few minutes he 720 phone starts to feel like a slow
I go to games and everything works great no problem
But I hear songs song stuck in another and back again lodged a second
The battery runs down very quickly because of the high RAM
2. My alarm does not always ring
Once I woke up and saw it only vibrate
Even once someone called me and was just a vibrate
He calls me back and then have a song
3. Someone calls me take a few minutes to load the contact's name
4. My friend sent me a picture that SMS is not via software or something.
MMS.
So he sent and I do not get the picture he sent me.
If he sends only standard message I get. But if a picture is "MMS" I do not get.
Why?
and more problems!
i just want to back to ICS Seriously this version was only one problem the device heats up quickly and that's it.
Everything works great for me there is no problem. The device was amazing.
But in JB device always stuck full of problems
Do you have a solution to all these problems?
Do not tell me to delete just do WIPE or go to CM10 or something
Or you saying wait Android 5?
Sounds like you may have a bad app or bad something else. I have been on JB since the leaks and they are awesome compared to the ICS versions.
But you may want to download the most recent version and install it clean.
And wiping everything is a good thing as it cleans out phone and lets the user only reinstall the needed apps. Well for me at least

ever time i change my rom i do full wipe "everthing like new phone buyin now"
and i have backup for titanium backup ok
and all my app from google play i buy apps beecause I support developers
and i now what app is good or bad.
OK if your using titanium back up, only restore the app not the data.
There could be some old data that is messing it up. Like I said, its actually better to start all over and redownload all apps and start new.

Can't say I share your experiences. Jelly bean is fine.
Do a full wipe and just don't restore any data or app...
That should fix all your problems

JB rom is pretty fine according my experiences, however if you are not satisfied with the stock one try a modded rom.
Regarding the RAM I wouldn't worry at all. Android takes care of the problem and will kill apps before ram gets overfilled as far a I understood. RAM I guess isn't the problem for any lags. I recommend to try different Kernels istead, Boeffla for example which works pretty fine with my rom.
Also battery drain is not a RAM problem it is caused by applications working in the background which suck the battery. There is a nice program in the App store called Greenify that allows you to fine tune this.
Format sdcard system data cache preload .
Flash whatever firmware you want via Odin .
Do not install apps or restore TB .
Test for one week problems then return to service .

After upgrading to 4.3 the phone worked super fast then 7-14 days later all the apps open slow everything is just much slower.
Doesn't matter which launcher touchwiz or nova launcher scrolling on both of them is fast but opening apps and all of that is the slow part (animations on either off or 1X).
I came here today to look if there is any root options and well nothing.
Any tips?
Did you do a data wipe when you flashed 4.3

I did it through OTA , and no I didn't do factory reset because I didn't want to set up all my things from scratch that is one thing I hate lol
Sounds like you may need to do that. I have had that kind of issue before and that seems to fix it. Good thing is you only have to do it once.
restart your phone
What mark said if you haven't. Rebooting is needed because it allows the memory to free up among other things. You could also check if an app is hogging the resources. Next would be to wipe cache and dalvik. If none of the above work then a factory reset may be in order.

You'll probably have to factory reset first but after that make sure you freeze or remove all bloat and use Xposed + Greenify (paid) to hibernate any apps running in the background. Doing that will not only speed up your phone but increase your battery life by quite a bit.

Thanks for all the tips guys I actually do restart my phone from time to time.
However I wanted to let you guys know that I turned on again developer options and animations are off completely and I used the GPU rendering etc.. I sometimes do not understand this phone it works now like it is supposed to .. app closing is extremely fast like I can't keep up with it when I swipe quickly.
Someone please help me understand this phone lol. Thanks all!
Hi,
I had received an update 9.0.0.230(C675E15R1P17), since the updated I am noticing following issues.
Increase in bootup time
New apps unable to install
Very poor and worsen memory management as the apps are not killed on background even if you try to clear the memory
Switching between the apps is also too slow
Over all the performance has been ruined and annoying experience.
Does anyone else is also facing similar issues.
How do I revert to old build, or is there any immediate fix possible.
Thanks in advance

I would make a backup of my apps and data and then perform a factory reset. That is what I do after every update.

Hi,
Thanks for the solution, although i was not able to take backup of apps as it didn't allowed me to install required applications for HiSuite on my mobile. But factory reset worked, I almost thought my device has gone were before google screwed us.
Thanks it worked.

Mate 20 pro 9.0.0.230
This 9.0.0.230 v for mate 20 pro which I received yesterday includes only may security patch nothing else.
But this has ruined the phone.
1. Facial recognition has stopped working. It is either too slow or works only once in 10-15 times
2. The home page itself stucks, sometimes I cannot swipe left or right sometimes app icons go away almost every time.
3. All apps are taking so much time to open now, I feel like I am using phone with SD 450 processor or something.
4. Optimiser itself isn't opening now. And it is consuming the maximum %of battery.
Factory Resetting is a pain. Will have to take backup of everything and then reinstall and copy data back.
Not sure what to do. Need a fix immediately, phone is almost not usable now.
Reset Worked for me

As per suggestion provided, Hard (Low Level) Reset worked for me. Although I was not able to take back of apps and I manually copied media files from mobile to laptop.
Hope it works for you too.
The recent EMUI update is the worst i have ever seen. It has completely broken the entire software and performance of the phone. I am not sure on what basis they have released such an update to the users. The phone had become completely unusable. Reset Factory settings is just the temporary solution and its a very painful process too. The patch for this has to be released soon.
Mate 20 pro
Factory Resetting helped. Thanks guys for the suggestion.
For the others who are suffering with this update. There is easy way to take back up and restore.
Settings> backup ( connect to laptop or hardisk using otg connector) > select external drive.
Take back up, reset phone and then follow above process, connect the hard disk and select the backup file and restore.
One need not to manually take back up of folders,msgs, contacts etc..
