All of a sudden my phone is taking very long to load a web page if it'll load at all. The load bar will move a little bit and than it'll actually go backwards and just sit there. Even some of my data apps won't open. I've do e several reboots, sometimes it'll be OK but for the most part nothing loads. I did get a security popup when I was reading a DIYS article but I ignored it. I've done a scan but it came up clean...any ideas??

Well I just realized that my girlfriends stock note is doing the same thing, not loading anything. I use my WiFi at home and I've rest my modem and router...still not luck. Some data requires apps seem fine, like the forum and Facebook, took me a few attempts to install an app a few minutes ago. Odd.

A reset of the house modem will help I'm sure, and of course the network may be undergoing a maintenance phase etcetera.
Either way, the report appears to be a service issue, and not device related...g
Perhaps clear the browser cache.
I did everything last night and nothing worked but when I woke up it seemed fine...odd.

Possibly your local cell tower was jambed up somehow, but now ok. It happens.

I've been trying to search about this but i can't seem to get the answer.
I heard about making new APN's but it doesn't work for me.
All it says is "access to this url is blocked" or something like that, i can't seem to use it unless i use Opera mini.
Btw i had this phone for like a month already.
thanks in advance.
More info? What kernel, android version, ROM?
2.2.2, no custom rom, 2.6.32.9-00007 is there more to the kernal?
I have the same issue once in a while. It's almost like the data is stuck on something. A reboot usually works for me. I'm on mobile so I can't see but are you with bell? Asking as I am.

Good to know I'm not the only one.
I allways blamed my carrier.
I use Signal Refresh, its on the Market. It helps sometimes. I allways end rebooting the phone.
I'm on 4.5.9.1 right now, but I've experienced this issue since 4.1.2.6.
weird i restart the phone and i still can't use the stock browser always gotta go to Opera Mini. Opera Mobile doesn't work for me either this is weird. I am on att btw should i bring it back to a att store?.

Even though your homepage is blocked on your stock browser, can you still navigate to a different website?
Like can you navigate to Google.com, or is that blocked too?...

Today I had this same issue.
No data. I tried refreshing the signal, toggling airplane mode, rebooting...phone would send or download data sometimes, but it never loads a web.
I ended using wifi to write this answer.
I hope this issue get fixed somehow.
Had same issue myself for the first time today. Never had this before. I'm on 4.5.91 beta 3, and I didn't realise at first when I lost all data that my signal bars were telling me something. On stock GB the signal bars are blue when you have data, but they turn white when you do not. I saw 3 white bars and thought I still had signal when in fact I did not. Tried rebooting, got blue bars for a couple of seconds, then white again and no data. I actually had to go outside my work, at which point I picked up a strong signal again, and I have been fine at work since. Very wierd, but it's almost like the radio lost the signal, then could not acquire it again without me being outside where it possibly had line of sight to a tower.
weird you guys only get it sometimes?
Mine has been like this since day one and it's already been a month and a half.
APN Settings.
There's a thread I posted a while back with all the APN settings for AT&T. Try to add these and see if you can't get it working.

By chance did you just start having these problems after installing the leaked version of the updated Market? Whenever I run the market, downloads are very flaky, I get a few force closes, and my connection seems to just drop out entirely, from apps, browsers, etc...
It picks back up eventually if I close the market app whichs eems odd
Just got to work this morning, went to new Market, (leaked version), and as soon as the app came up my 4 blue bars turned white..............no data again! Something with the new Market is definitely messing up data connectivity.
<edit> Rebooted phone, tested data...............working fine on everything. Start Market again, blue bars turn white, no data!
yeah, i went to manage apps and selected uninstall update to market. Rolls it back to the original.
nope checked the APN's still the same should i go back to att with this?
Are there any apps out there that are known to make the photon unresponsive? Mine is rooted, locked and stock. My phone will just lock up for 30 seconds or more. When trying to start an app nothing will happen for long periods until they finally starting. Also when typing in the browser, often the browser will just shut down while I am typing. Any ideas appreciated

you might try a battery pull, or a factory reset. has this started after you installed anything new? try a factory reset but dont install any programs and let it sync and run for a day or so to see if the problem persists. if it does, try unrooting back to 100% stock and see if the issue is still there.

I have a similar experience. From time to time, when I type, the letters appear in the keyboard app but not actually in the field in which I'd like to to type. And when this is happening, I am also not able to call ANYONE! I must reboot and sometimes do a battery pull to get things back in order. NOT COOL! What if I am in trouble and need to make a quick phone call? It might be too late by the time I pull out the battery and restart.
Actually the entire app (browser) closes while typing.
I removed a few suspect apps and it seems to have calmed down.......
Will see how it goes. I hate to have to nuke the whole phone and start over

happens to me too... even when doing a "fast reboot" it doesn't necessarily fix it either... doing that along with actually turning off and on seems to do it...

My phone randomly rebooted 7 times today and I don't even own a car dock! I cannot find the source of the problem(s). Btw, this is my 2nd phone for the same reasons. I haven't even put all of my apps back on it yet. I may do another reset to see what happens.
I got this out my phone a few weeks ago when I checked to see if I had an ICS update :thumbdown:
Of course I didn't.
Well now this message "connecting to DM server" stays in my notification bar. It also stays running. I did a check to see how much they battery life it was eating and it was well over 60%.
I tried the settings, manage apps, att update, clear cache but it still ran.
I finally used app quarantine to stop it.
Well now that we may get ICS soon I want the update option to run with out it running at all times.
Anyone else having this issue?

Connecting to DM Server
I had the problem today. Went to manage Running Apps and was able to stop.
If this does not work, did you try rebooting the phone?
I have tried resting the phone.
I even shut the phone off and took the battery out for 5 min.
It won't go away unless I put it in app quarantine.

I'm also having this same problem and have done everything that you've done to try and fix the problem, but it's still happening. Have found a fix by chance? This has been going on for about a week or two.

Load titanium backup and freeze it, or you could delete it too.
I just deleted it.....g
Mine just started showing this in the notification tray yesterday. I can freeze it and the notification goes away, but I don't think we want to delete it though, right? Isn't this how the phone connects to the AT&T server to get software updates? I figure I'll freeze it for a few days then defrost it and see if it fixes itself or connects to the server.
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.

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.

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!

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

I don't know if its my network or the kernel. But after flashing the 4aceskernel last night i enabled the fast charged and left it all night with airplane mode on,so i don't get bother. Now this morning i disable airplane off and fast charger off,and i enable my data and roaming, after that i try to get on play store,and it stock on loading with the circle going around,after couple seconds it says connection timeout. I dint pay attention to it, i left it alone.later on i try to use the Facebook app i couldn't it stock on loanding and after couple minutes it says network error. I went to my browser and search something on Google and it was working. I search the letters b,c,d just to check if it was my network. But it turn out that it wasn't my network at lease that's what I'm thinking.so i had some twrp backups from different ROMs and in all of them it still the same problem. I can use the internet to search even i can use xda and i can download ROMs but i cant use the data on any gapps. Or even the Google voice on the stock,opera,chrome,Firefox,dolphin browser. Not even gmails or Facebook. Yes my apn settings are correct.my accespoint is selected in my network.by the way i use net10. I search on Google about this problem but it just show different problems with the network nothing related to my issue. Help in need! Remember all this happen after flashing the kernel #31. Just to get this clear im not blaming this on the kernel because i don't even know if the kernel have to do anything with this,since I'm the online with this issue .but i came here because this the only thing i flashed last night. Any help will be appreciated guys/girls.
I'm on lattes jellyb*m ROM but like I say I went back to stock roms even GB,ICS,jb nothing that I do make my data works correctly.
