Reboot problem - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Every time I restart my phone just after the boot animation I get the "optimising apps" screen and it continues to optimise 61 of my apps.
I have no idea why it is doing this but it's getting very annoying. It takes ages just to reboot my phone.
Anyone have this issue? Or know how to fix it?
Thanks in advance

Do you have a app installed that every time clean your cache and dalvik cache when you restart your phone?
I mean something like system tuner pro or so.

Not as far as I can tell.
I have SD Maid but I have been using it for months and this has only just started.
It's different to wiping dalvik cache though, if I do that then when I reboot I get a screen saying 'android is upgrading' and it installs 110 apps.
This message is 'optimising apps' and it only does 61 of them.........
I just can't figure it out

Oke,what rom are you on,and is it rooted?
Also do you have flash any tweaks or apps from another rom, like popup browser.

I'm on stock DLJ4. the only tweak I have is V6 Supercharger, and some status bar icon mods. But these shouldn't effect it

Have you upgraded your stock rom OTA?
Same things happened to my sgs3 after OTA upgraded.
I flashed rom again by odin. That updating message was gone ever since.

Camera reboot

Good morning guys. I'm having trouble with my Samsung galaxy SGH-I777. Every time I open an app that uses he camera (ie camera, barcode scanner, flashlight, camera) he flash goes off then it just reboots he phone. I've already done a factory restore. I even went into recovery mode and wipe cache and did a restore from there. I've also just downloaded the new ICS update and it still didn't fix the problem. Please help

when you say factory restore does that mean you completely wiped the phone and flashed back to stock rom. If not, that's what I would do to determine if we're looking at a hardware or software issue.
No I didn't flash it back to stock. How would I even do that?

OK I flashed a new rom but it didn't work. Flashed back to ics still doesn't work

I would flash back to stock. If it still does it, bring it in to at&t service center and show them. They can give you a replacement. Or you can call them. Just make sure your on non rooted stock firmware.
a full wipe and reflash is required before posting any problems. because99 % of the time it's user error. Did you fully wipe system, cache, data, and run the kernel cleaning scriptbefore posting this issue?

IF this is happening across roms, and assuming correct firmware, with a clean install (factory reset, no misc apps installed) then I'd say you have a hardware problem. If you've flashed incorrect firmware then a reset won't help you until you flash back to the correct firmware. Of course all of this moot if its physical damage caused by dropping the phone or maybe water damage. If you're completely stock and haven't subjected the phone to any physical abuse, then return the phone for a new one.

This.
Run fix permissions in recovery (last resort).

[Q] New to rooting i717

I have an AT&T i717 running ics stock rom. I installed cwm 5.0. something and was intending on installing the CM10 JellyBean rom from paranoid. It would not install from sd card. tried another rom from diff developer, same thing. I read that I needed an updated cwm so I tried to flash another, wouldnt work with the version of ODIN i had so i upgraded to v3.07, was able to flash another and then when I went to recovery it stayed in a black screen, reflashed the older version of cwm and now when I go to recovery it will show the main screen, but if I try to install or even reboot it takes the menu away and shows the symbol in the center. Am I just completely stupid? Have I missed something?
Are you rooted?

Yes...That is the first step I believe.
UPDATE: I have CWM recovery 5.5.0.4 working properly but I am getting an Error Status 7 (yes I have searched but everything I found was old and didn't help) I am trying to run cm-10.1-20120113-NIGHTLY-i717 build as well as pa_quincyatt-2.56-20121219-013738 build. both show same error. Any ideas?

Do I select factory reset or system from the twrp menu?

Did it work?
Figured it out. Cleared both cache and delvik Cache and did a factory reset. worked like a charm. thanks for the help and I hope this helps others as well.
Just for future reference, also wiping system along with wiping cache/dalvik and factory reset is good practice. Sometimes not wiping system can cause some issues.

"Android is upgrading" on every boot after 4.1.2 update.

Yesterday,I updated my gs3 to 4.1.2 using kies.I was rooted with chainfire's exynosabuse.apk but before I upgrade,I unrooted.Now, everytime I reboot I get the "android is upgrading" message.After searching for a while,it turned out that the system wipes dalvik cache on every boot but why is it happening ? I didn't have any root apps installed at the moment of upgrading except for exynosabuse which I also removed thinking it might solve the problem but it didn't. It doesn't bother me too much,only a 2 or 3 more secs in boot time but it is still kinda annoying.

bump..
i also have the same problem..
Just preform a factory reset and reinstall your rom
This should solve your problem.
I am not sure but I think it's related to ODEX, DEODEX, ZIPLIGN or something like that.
I have been experiencing it as long as I can remember!

The problem solved itself after a few days.Maybe it's something implemented by Samsung after installing an update? Lol.

Not really, if it is due to update, for the time, yes, it could be,. But not every time..

Rebbot after screen turned off

Hi guys, I have this weird problem.
Today I bought a S3 from a guy.
When the phone screen turns off because i don't use it, it doesn't wake and reboots.
When I use it, and screen is on, never reboots.
What to do?
I flashed the newest ROM and the problem still exists
R: Rebbot after screen turned off
Have you done a factory reset before flashing?

I mean a real factory reset, not the one found in samsung's settings, but in clockworknod's.
Just root, install clockworkmod, factory reset and flash a custom rom or a samsung stock rom edited to run on rooted s3.
If you've already done that, might also try dalvik cache format...but i dunno how much help it can be.

I bricked my friend's S2, please help!

Ok, so I've rooted 2 phones so far with no problem. But when I did it to my friend, the phone won't lauch the rom any more (tried with slimbean).
I used this method before I installed slimbean: http://scientimystic.wordpress.com/...i9100-having-android-4-1-2-official-firmware/
After installing it, it wouldn't load. So I reinstalled my backup that I did after I rooted, and nothing, the phone is just stuck on the galaxy s2 screen and a yellow exclamation triangle below.
I can boot into cwm or download mode, but I can't transfer files on my phone I think.
Please help, if it was my phone I wouldn't be so desperate but I really don't want to screw up my friends phone.
If you can boot into cwm and download mode it aint bricked.
All it is....is a borked OS......I'm guessing that if you were on JB before, that when you backed up, you didn't include the preload partition. If your chosen custom rom zip is still on your phone, boot into cwm and flash it again. Thiss time though, before you reboot the phone post flash, wipe cache, dalvic and data.....then reboot.

Hey, ok then well I thought bricked meant you can't load the rom.
My backup actually worked now so all is ok, but I can't install any custom rom - every one of them just loops indefinitely at the loading once I flash it, and after that it won't do anything until i revert my backup.
Are you sure you're rooted?

Yes, I used the guide in the link and checked some apps that required root.
Your custom rom installs......are you doing the post install wipes?
Are you waiting long enough for the phone to complete the first boot?
It always takes longer than usual for that initial boot......

Yes, I wiped the cache afterwards and I waited enough.. 15 minutes sure is enough of a wait, is it not?
Yeah....15 minutes is plenty long enough......but when I said wipes....I didn't mean just cache....I meant dalvic and data too.....

Clearly, you haven't wiped data.
