I recently bought an international GT-I9300 Galaxy s3. I am facing few problems. I get a 3-4 seconds lag when I open dialer contacts and messaging app but once i have opened them it seems like they stay in memory for some time and open instantly but after some time i get this horrible lag again. Is my phone normal? I searched the forums and some people are facing this while others not. Secondly whenever I charge my s3 through the AC adaptor, galaxy s3 shows as charging (USB). Then i unplug and plug again after few tries it shows charging (AC). Is my phone faulty or is this a software bugs? Any fixes to these problems? I am on everything stock and unrooted JB 4.1.1 I9300XXDLID. Thanks
Hello, first of all, did you buy it brand new? First, I trying turning of s voice as it is know to cause lags. Then I can developer options change the windows a d transition animation scale to 0.5. See if it gets better, it could just be that there are some bugs! I

Yes brand new with official damsung warranty. I have changes the animations and transition to 0.5 and disabled s voice.. Still the lag is present. Any solution? Should I send it to Samsung?
Are there any other lags beside the dialer and the messaging app?

None. The lag is present only on dialer contacts and sometimes messaging.
Ok, I think that it's just a big with the jelly bean... It should be fixed soon!

Charging problem fixed. Both the Samsung usb cables were crap.. Tried a new one and works well. Samsung should fix the dialer/contacts lag now or i will never buy a Samsung phone Again! Anyone knows how to submit this bug to Samsung?

Sorry for being a noob but this is my first Android phone and I have heard rooting/flashing voids warranty so I don't wanna risk it. I prefer doing it the simple way. Samsung should fix this bug soon.
there are ways to reset the flash counter..search the forum for triangle away. I flashed my S3 with many different custom ROMs. My phone earphone jack had some problem. I used triangle away, flash to stock ROM and bring it to Samsung for warranty. No problem with that..or maybe they didn't check thoroughly..:highfive:

All problems fixed. There was a problem with ota update. I resolved it by reinstalling the firmware through KIES firmware upgrade and initialization option. No lags in dialer contacts so far and blue Samsung logo on boot has come back. Thanks everyone. This thread can be closed.
Update: dialer and contacts lag still present

Anybody found any lag while switching back to home screen from the browser. Sometime there is lag sometimes no lag... When its laggin..the weather widget will come then the icons.. its frustrating to see this lag on S3,which is the most powerful phone till date. I have tried switching s-voice off and lower the transition to 0.5

That's the launcher redrawing itself.
Basically because of heavy amount of RAM used by Android, it kills some of the other processes including launcher.
Even I get it and I hate hate HATE it.
There are some solutions but it will require root and it's not very simple.
It's embarrassing to be honest.
Yep I get that too, still Samsung seem to think that the amount of ram the s3 has is sufficient!

Just locking Launcher in memory or Reducing the OOM priority will fix it. Why is Samsung not fixing it.
If I'm not wrong, the JB leaks doesn't fix it either. The only gripe I have about this phone.
iOS get this right, unfortunately.
Dialer App has the worst lag. contacts take ages to come up. its horrible

I'm almost certain it doesn't occur in the latest jelly bean leaks - so I'd recommend either updating to one of them or just patiently wait for the official release

Really JB solves this?? Hey man I have unrooted phone... there are so many JB thread.. can u guide me which one to flash(the one which is most stable).. and before that I also need to root my phone... can u give me the link to CF root or any other... I am on Baseband version DDLH1
On JB I don't have any home screen redraw using Nova Launcher (I had on ICS). Don't know if it still happens with Touchwiz.

Well I can assure you it occurs a lot less (i used to be really annoyed by it on ICS - I'm using LI5 right now and haven't noticed a redraw yet).
You don't need to be rooted if you don't want to be. All you need to do is head here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835931 This is the latest LI7 JB leak, flash through Odin (follow instructions on first page) and all should work fine from then on (assuming you have the international galaxy s3).
Please note I think you will lose your data - in that case you may want to be rooted first so you back up your data and then flash the LI7 rom and then restore the data (for apps and games only). In this case just find the cfroot for Galaxy S3 and flash the latest cfroot kernel via Odin (then back up using titanium backup or other app from the playstore).

Dude I think its the viber app. Are you using this app? Try to close it and you will that the sensor will off. I uninstall it for the mean time and wait for another update
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Yes, the problem is viber app. I dont know viber or rom, but when i kill vib
r, sensor stop light.
Problem with viber is for every android device. Here is the previous version
http://db.tt/SkSNRu3C
I had this too.. Thought it might be smart stay but I removed viber (even though I hadn't even signed in to it ) and Red Light is now gone! Suspect that may possibly have contributed to the slightly enhanced battery drain I was getting in the latest official stock JB ROM (XXDLIB)..

Two post up i post link. This is previous version of viber
Here is the link http://db.tt/SkSNRu3C
I too had the sensor on all night last night. It was after installing siyah kernel it seemed to happen. This morning was going to flash stock kernel back to see if it fixed it. But before that I just did a reboot and when it came back on it was not showing anymore.
I do have Viber and it's always on as we use it for picture messages, it's still on now and the sensor is not showing.

Edit: it did come back and it was down to Viber, I have installed previous version and it's perfect. Thanks for the link
same problem fixed
I got the same problem after installing JB for my S3... but i did what you guys said... uninstalling viber the problem gone, so i better now knowing my JB Room its not the problem...
Viber just released v2.2.3 which they claim resolves the issue.

Now that a version (or two, or three) of 4.2.1 has hit the i717, I'd thought that I'd share at least one finding that, whilst known amongst those already in possession of devices running 4.2+ ROMs, might have gone un-noticed by those only just receiving the update.
For me, the almost deal-breaker is that Google has removed access to Airplane Mode to third-party apps, effectively neutering scheduling apps for me.
Fortunately, Tasker can communicate with Secure Settings (both link to Play Store), to access the now restricted features, (You will need to install the helper from within Secure Settings also)
Are there any other features that Google have removed or otherwise altered which we should be aware of before installing a 4.2.1 ROM?

Car Home and Dock apps no longer can take the Home button intent, so even if you sideload Car Home (or other similar apps in the market) when they're running and you hit Home, you get your launcher, not Car Home.

Anyone use a Bluetooth mouse? Mine was working in 4.1.2 but now has trouble connecting in 4.2.1. Is this possibly related to the Bluetooth fixes in 4.2.2?

I think so my bluetooth freezes at times and gets stuck turning on but never does and I have to reboot to get it to work
LED Flash light
I added a LED flash light widget to the lockscreen the first time and device reboots.
I test the flash light from widget on the lockscreen: it doesn't work for any options (bright light or strobe).
Light toggle in the notification drawer does work.

That was around in 4.1.2. IMO it's annoying to have two taps to go to open a file in one app for one instance only.
JB 4.2.x is a step BACK from 4.1.2 in my humble opinion. After reading a ton of problems with 4.2.x on the Nexus 7 forum, I am staying from updating.
There is a school of thought that basically calls out google for releasing a half-baked Jelly Bean updates with the 4.2.x series.

I think there's a problem with bluetooth HID. I'm running Jamie's CM10.1 preview and I get a bunch of uhid not found errors in logcat when trying to associate with my Motorola Bluetooth Keyboard. It won't stay paired so it seems that HID is broken in 4.2.x (This keyboard did work in 4.1.2 AOKP)

Hello XDA. This ROM (rootbox 3.9.1) is supposed to be stable, but when I turn on flash or automatic flash and I touch to focus then shoot, the camera app lags and force closes (and doesn't take the picture). This is annoying in so many ways, and makes it virtually impossible for me to take pictures in low light. Please help me address this issue for it is killing me and I don't feel like downloading a whole new ROM, flashing it and reorganizing all my settings all over again just to fix this issue. I also had this issue with CM10.1 (but that was normal, cause it is a nightly).
Anybody else have this issue? And possibly a fix?
Thanks in advance.
Also: inb4 "search the official root box thread". I did, and nobody seems to have this issue.

As far as I know this issue was fixed a couple of days ago in the CM Nightlies so maybe the Vanilla Rootbox base hasn't been updated yet or you aren't using their latest update.

Actually I've found a way to bypass this problem. If I turn on the volume key to take pictures function, autofocus with flash on and take the picture with the volume key, it doesn't crash. I guess I'll just have to live with it like this for now, oh well.
