I can use the phone for 10sec after boot and then the screen freezes and doesnt respond to buttons but the status bar seems to be changing.
Last thing I was doing was uninstalling whatsapp, and some iphone 5 launchers with titanium backup and restarting.
What are my options?
You can go into recovery mode and wipe cache or your data maybe,saving your phone is a better idea than to keep your files(only removes your apps not photos or music)
Tell me how it went

I'm gonna dl and install some new jb rom while im at it. I have clockwork installed already. I'm new to android but have watched some videos about it so it wont be a problem.
I would say install omega,its fast and stable.
Omega for touchwiz and stock look
If you want the jb look like the nexus there are also many roms like that i think foxhound is one check tem out
Ask me if you have problems glad to help

Ok heres whats happening....
first of all, my phone is rooted and i have the latest super clean and kernal.... this has been happening on a variety of kernals and roms tho..
Randomly, out of nowhere, my phone reboots. (maybe this is normal, the kernal is crashing?)
the problem is that once it comes back, i seem to be missing some system applications like my contacts app (whenever i click on contacts in the phone, it crashes, and i dont have a contacts app to click)
and sometimes, my phone Settings app.... if u try to click menu on the home screen and click settings, nothing happens..... and i cant place widgets..
I have to reodin the phone completely and start from scratch....
This happens like once every couple weeks or so....
any ideas?
Try flashing it again w/ data/cache/dalvik wipe

Has this problem happened to others or is my phone defective

It sounds like some of the apps may be incompatiable with the verison you're using. I had a somewhat similar problem when first getting into roms. It may be worth going back to stock and then reflashing to the latest SC.
Not sure.. If it was just a compatibility problem I think it would not work right away... The problem I'm having is random after a spontaneous reboot

Try fixing it by flashing stock rom then re root > rom install > cwm
Here's the guide I made

After using an app called TS 2 which encrypts photos and videos, my Allstream began bootlooping. It would get to the Sense touchscreen, and as soon as i pulled the ring up, boot loop began. What was the possible cause of this ?
Also, I've been spending the last2 hours getting my tablet back to normal.thankfully, all my music and data is backed up online w google or Picasa or etc.
Related question:
Though, like my synergy Rom on EVO, is there a way to enable the jetstream to automatically Download all the apps again when a flash or restore occurs? Is root needed for that?
If you checked Google to backup your apps, your apps should reinstall minus the data.

Ok. Really unhappy now. I rebooted my device after spending hours yesterday restoring it and it is still bootlooping after a factory reset. When I pull the lockscreen run, it crashes and reboots. Please help.
Possible causes?

is there a chance your issue is related to that thread?

i never had bootloops myself, so i cant quite help. sorrys.
I'm unsure. I was on WiFi when it happened. I don't know of that makes a difference. Also, I had screen rotation off, so I was unable to rotate to check.
Could this glitch be fixed with root?

Also, my jetstream does not bootloop on its own. It only happens once I tell the device to reboot.
I'm afraid to reboot it now lol. It's done it twice and the hours I've out in to restoring it is not cool.

Hello, I was browsing with Google Chrome on the SGS3 when all of a sudden it reset(which is not uncommon...seems to be a Chrome thing), and when the lockscreen came back up the LED flashed blue, and the screen went blank. 5ish seconds later, the lockscreen reappears, I have no service (literally the circle with a line through it) and after a few seconds I get the blue LED flash and the cycle repeats. For almost 10 minutes straight now. I have not tried to get into recovery mode, but I have removed/reinstalled the battery.
Any ideas or suggestions?
The only thing I can think of is that it was in a backpack on a hiking trip today and got very hot. It wasn't in use during that time though, and I hadn't seen any errors with it for at least 6 hours afterward until this happened.
More info, I have stock everything. Touchwiz launcher, etc...

...just did. Sadly, I did not have a way to backup anything because it was in the reset loop (or whatever you'd call that)
What could have caused it? Is it an issue with the stock ROM? I have custom ROMs on all my other phones, I was waiting until the SGS3 development matured a bit before I dove in, but now I'm not so sure that waiting is a good idea...
Maybe caused by apps that you installed.

MOVED =
about a month ago this happend to me:
out of the blue everything on my phone started FC repeatedly (whatsapp, camera, Luancher Pro, phone, etc..) so pulled out the battery and it then it didnt want to boot up so i tried a fresh install from recovery but.. recovery was crashing as well and i had to pull out the battery every time. finally afer playing a speed game with the phone i got to re install (i wiped user chache/data /dalvik ) and the problem was gone ...
these recent days some apps started FC on me but i thought i was somewhat common .. mainly Mi file explorer .. so right now my phone started to do the same thing again.. FC everything! The main one crashing is = the process com.android.phone stopped unexpectedly. i have no signal now and cant open anything.. if i pull out battery I know it wont boot up and may not let me use recovery without a hassle!
i dont know if this has to do with but when i install a rom ( i had topsmarts 1.3) i use root uninstaller to uninstall lots things i dont want like: weather and news, terminal emulater, dev tools, es explorer..
what is can be causing this problem and what can i do to fix it??? it looks like i wont be using it today because its as good as a brick right now.
edit before OP: i selected reboot and as expected its looping at the Unlocked screen

Thread closed as its a dup
Hello all.
I have a Galaxy S3 (i9300) and changed the stock rom to CyanogenMod 10.1. As I was not satisfied with the camera I decided to go back to stock. I downloaded the foirmware in sammobile.com sock and put the rom with odin. After that I had several problems. I tried other versions of the stock rom, but nothing worked. When I turn on the phone, it takes longer than normal on the first screen (the first screen to turn on, where it appears samsung galaxy s 3). After the android loads, everything works normally, but when you connect the phone to pc it is not recognized, and the worst of the problems, when he gets some time with the screen off (locked) when I click to wake it, it takes too long to turn on the screen, or does not care, having to be restarted. I think he does not shut down, but is frozen with the screen off. When this happens I get the impression that the phone FIVA a little warm.
Can you help?
Thank you!
R: [Q] Problems back to stock
Ive already answered this thread but i cant see my post here, so im just gonna repost.
It looks like you mightve flashed the wrong stock version of the rom.
Also under my point of view cyanogenmod is not stable enough for s3, it is intelligible after all since the s3 is not in desperate need of updated roms for now, also there are mo stable 10 builds yet. I guess u chose cyanogen because it is very popular or because ure used to it, but ill go ahead and suggest anyways u flash jellybam or foxhound or rootbox roms, they are very stable and well developed.
As for the camera app: simply go into stock rom and thru titanium backup make a backup of the camera app(its advisable to clear app cache and data first), then flash the new rom and stuff, and then reinstall titanium backup and install the app backup. It should be easy since i own both original jelly bean camera and samsung galaxy s3 stock camera apps on my phone... reverting back to stock is useless once u got the power of the dark side of root

killbubble,
Thanks for the reply.
I decided to use the Cyanogem because I like pure android. My previous phone was a Razr i (congratulations, Motorola). Very fast and clean. Samsung did a good job in the design of TouchWiz, and it seems unnecessarily heavy. Anyway, I want to return my phone to stock and totally do away with these instability problems.
R: [Q] Problems back to stock
In that case...its not gonna be too easy. I really must advise you against returning to stock, it's not THAT stable (there are some bugs in stock as well) and jellybam or foxhound are much better roms. But if you DO wish to get back to stock i think u need to visit the rootgalaxysiii.com site and look for your phone's stock rom...but it is very easy to make a mistake, maybe thats why your phone is so slow....

I just remembered that I had a backup of cyanogen. I did the root stock that was giving problems and recovered the backup. the problem of delay in the first screen when I turn on my phone and the screen freeze issue after some time locked, were not resolved. I do not know what else to try.

when I'm listening to music, the freezing problem after staying some time with the screen off does not happen. these two symptoms are very strange: slow first boot screen and freezing after some time with the screen off.
