Lagging Samsung S3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a UK Samsung S3 andn ever since i updated to the jelly bean provided by samsung my phones been lagigng like when i open my messages it takes sometimes 5 seconds to open up when it didnt before and even opening things on my phone its lagging
i now have a custom rom which is android revolution HD 15.1 android version 4.1.1 kernel 3.0.31-411425
Any advice?
Thanks

Same here.. Don't get why..

very strange because it was fine before i updated to jelly bean and after that thats when it started lagging and i have the same apps on as i had before

Ditto.. In fact I deleted some!

Yup same here. It's just Jelly Bean mate. In my opinion ICS was much faster and more responsive.

Have you tried changing the kernel? Maybe try the Perseus Kernel? Lagging might be kernel related.. Or can try to superwipe everything, then flash the ROM again..
I have used ARHD 15 and now on ARHD 16, everything fine & smooth.. of course I did superwipe if changing to new base.
Hope this help..

It's nothing to do with kernel. It's because the messages application is getting unloaded and loading it up takes more time in JB. I think there are mods that will make it so messages application will persist in memory, so it will be opened like instantly. Have to search forums here in XDA to find it... Same for contacts and phone apps.

same
Same here. I think the problem is the Jelly Bean version made by Samsung. With 4.1.2 is the same. Dialer, contacts and messages take 2-3 seconds to load

The same thing on my dialer and messages..slower compared to ICS

wipe before install and wipe a few times after install..still the same..

Didn't try any other JB releases, just the latest leak (ELK4 i think). Did an upgrade without even wiping directly from ICS. My phone is BY FAR more responsive and faster. Wasn't expecting it either, specially without wiping. But it did. So, not sure what you're using for a rom, but if you haven't give this one a try. Haven't done any further modding, it's all "stock", including kernel. Am using exDial though - all the stock's funcions, double the speed.
The only thing that lags is swype but only when i change languages. But since this is a leak test version running swype which is, in itself, a beta app, i'm not complaining. Everything else is just awesome, even in multiwindow.

Your solution buddy

try reseting your settings and if you can factory reset that would be even better but reseting your setting won't damage your data but your wifi profiles will be wiped so as your Bluetooth paired devices...lets say you just have to reconfigure you're device's settings. click thanks if I helped

Upgrading to an ICS rom!

Hey i want upgrade from my GB rom to ICS, but whenever i try to Flash an ICS ROM after a full clean wipe, i get alot of crashes! so i revert back to GB! is there something iam missing here? do i need to take an extra precaution before installing the ICS rom?
Mate, its still in alpha stage, not even beta. It's being careless on your behalf for not using search function. You would have known this. Come back April for a stable ICS release.

Probably forgot to wipe. It's the no.1 source of FCs after installing a rOM.

Hundreds of people have shifted to ICS, and you can see developers claiming their ROM's to be stable! thats why i chose to make a move towards ICS when the developers have released about 8 iterations of their original ROM!

Trust me, i factory wipe it twice before flashing a new ROM, that cant be an issue! and if you read the OP, my mobile is crashing, iam not getting any FC's but instead, the mobile gets stuck!
I have had my mobile turning itself off very often since I started "testing" ICS roms. I now have Westcrips 8.4 which is supposed to be one of the best ones and it turned itself off today
I think it might be because it's so cold here ATM (-24c)
I am using ics one month ago and i dont have so much force closes. Currently i use resurrection 8.4 and not bad. My advise is to wipe first data. After cache and after dalvic. Then install room and then it should work. Remeber this rooms are for modwl gt-i9100
You should factory wipe AFTER installing the new rom dude.

GingerBread.
For many "upgrading" will be a lateral shift with possible signs of regression peppered with moments of brilliance (if I die tomorrow please engrave preceding quote on my grave stone). For others it's the best thing since some genius decided to cut bread before selling it. For yet others, they'll think that it's as good of an idea of swallowing thumb tacks.
That said, I'm on CM9 (01292012 build) and have been on CM9 since late December. Gingerbread no longer stands a chance, and as usual no Samsung thank you very much.

Touch screen! Help please

I have problem with touch screen, when it is in direct sunlight or any strong light, it becomes unresponsive for 1or 2 minutes. This happens when I lock, so it means in lock screen I can not touch anything its not responding for few minutes. And what is most important, this problem is since I updated to ICS,in 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 also. But if I flash back to GB 2.3.6 I dont have this problem and it works perfect. And I heard a lot people having this problem, did some one found solution, as it is working in GB so it is not hardware problem.
I am really thankfully if anyone can help me.

let me know how you flashed those ROMs, list the steps you follow, you might have missed something because so far it's working in GB then it's not a hardware issue.

Well first I tried in stock rom 4.0.3 and now also 4.0.4, and for this custom ROMs like cm9 cm10, I did as per instructions wipe data factory reset, wipe cache, than flash, after that again wipe data/cache.
Have you tried to flash other kernel?

since you are using i9100g, I might not be able to recommend you a custom kernel. This kind off touch screen issues has been fixed in our own kernels.
Try this:
- boot to CWM recovery
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
- flash your kernel of choice again
- fix permissions
- reboot phone
-
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
i experienced this before on my old Galaxy S, try going on for other CustomROMS and kernels..
But really I don't understand, my brother has also i9100g but he don't have this problem, I tested his phone in stock and in custom roms, I let it in sunlight for 10-15 minutes. But mine for 1-2 minutes immediately becomes unresponsive. I have tested all roms and kernels for i9100g and always I did wipe data, cache, dalvik cache but the problem is still present. Sometimes I say its hardware problem, but if I flash gb stock or any custom rom in gb, I can let phone in sunlight for 10-20 minutes without problem. Really its confusing me. If you guys will help me fix this problem I would be really really thankful as I am tired of this

then go for gingerbread if you don't mind.. if your phone is still on warranty, then you can send it back to the service center ASAP if not, you can also spend some money to get it fixed (it won't be cheap, trust me).. but if you wanna save some cash on it, you can stick to GB if that's what's doing you good on your problem..
hope you get it all sorted out
That's the problem that I don't have warranty. But really in GB you don't have nothing ICS is much better also so many custom roms and kernels for ICS. The fact that is working fine in gb and its not hardware problem is killing me. It must be a way to fix

[Q] Question about Stock ROM & JB

Is it possible to install/flash a JB custom ROM (based on latest official stock) over my current Stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM without problems & have all my previous data (apps, features, contacts, settings..) back as it is ????

No, you need to wait for your region. You can of course flash one of the releases but you may get problems and end up having to wipe the phone to solve them.
You can get everything back except for your settings. You'll have to do the dance but everything else is recoverable.

I always find it best to wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik at a minum but before that you could always backup your apks and data using titanium backup or Mybackup root
flashed the swedish JB stock rom over the UK 4.04 stock rom earlier today. Doesnt seem to have given me any issues so far and all my settings have remained. Ill full wipe if i start getting any problems but so far everythings fine

I have an OTA update of about 25 mb but, it gets stuck at 25% & ultimately fails after reboot.. Tried either stock recovery or unrooted condition but, no joy.. Should I have both conditions at the same time or is something else the culprit. ?? Note that, I have installed Vertumus JB Domination theme which might've modified the build.prop...

[Q] CM 10.1 based roms are slooow

Hi all
I Tried many cm10.1 based roms, but i must admit that comparing to stock ICS 4.03 which i came from they area all much slower.
I tried:
Pure CM10.1
Rootbox
Slimbean
ParanoidAndroid
...
I cant find post where people are grumbling abut cyanogenmod performance..
Maybe im doing something wrong?
I always do Wipe data/factory reset, and wipe dalvik cache during every rom install.
Does anyone have such conclusions?
What do you mean with slower? Are you using stock kernel?
I only tried Pacman rom 4.2.2, and Rootbox 4.1.2 but they aren't slow with me
Sent from the Matrix
Antutu and quadrant results are slower, phone responsivness is not so good as on stock ics.
I tried booth siyah and dorimanx.
I noticed that as well.. It was moreso in the keyboard that it was really apparent, I've never had to go back and correct myself so many times because the keyboard was lagging so badly that it couldn't keep up with what I was typing. Chalked it up to bugs, reverted back to my backup and figured I'd wait until the next stable release is out and try again.
Keaybord seems laggy only because of PIE settings enabled. Try to disable them.
I full wiped and reflashed Rootbox + siyah again. It seems quite stable right now

Rootbox is one of the fastest roms Ive used,so I dont understand you and that other guys comments.And are you talking about speed,since your now talking about stability.
Odp: [Q] CM 10.1 based roms are slooow
Please understand: i had above problems until reflashed rom again. Reflashing and then again instaling apps is a bit waste of time for me, and i thought that someone has similar problems.
I didn't find similar post, tgat is why i asked a question.

stock rom problem

hey guys, i have the international version of S3, I9300. . I searched a lot for an ics stock rom, and finally found it.. installed it with odin, all good, now rebooting..but its stuck at samsung logo.. and it stays there, and if i go in recovery it shows some red errors, something like ''can't find system dir, or data'', and can't mount them.. installed another recovery, tried twrp, and cwm.. and i saw that system partition is 1044 mb occupied, so the rom is there, installed.. but.. can't boot.. also, every ics rom tried isnt working, just isn't booting.. only 4.1.1 + ... i want to try ics because im fed up with ram problems and poor battery life.. it should be 1 gb ram, and my battery is 2850 mAh ... :/ ...some help.. thank you
after flashing ics rom,boot to stcok recovery. select wipe data & cache then reboot. first boot will take 5-10 min.

You can't go back from a newer JB-firmware to ICS easily: it has another efs-format (makes loose IMEI) and needs another bootloader. Use search function to inform.
ICS isn't necessary for good battery life. Try NCS-ROM (JB) or Slim (KK or LP).

i will stick with NCS ROM, good ram management, very light rom.. KK is boring and not baterry friendly.. and lollipop is too laggy.. so ics isn't worth it on S3?
I used NCS for 1 year, but JB isn't safe anymore. So I'm on SlimLP. It runs fine, if you don't install elephants. As batteryfriendly as TW. ICS is out of area IMO and tricky to go back.
But if you have such strict opinions about various Androidversions, why do you ask?

well,i tried so many roms and my favorite android version is lollipop..but every lp rom tried ... the ui feels laggy.. can't compare it to stock lollipop on other phones , and that is annoying.. my opinions are not that strict, its just.. every android version left me with an impression.. btw, what do u mean with JB isn't safe ?

You can go back to jb to ics. If you face imei lost problem, u can easily fix it by flashing modem.
Try this Ics custom rom. Epsilon Project - ICS - V3 and use older version of cwm recovery to flash this rom.
I tried this rom a month ago good battery life than other roms. But ics rom don't support more new apps
I suggest you to try Liquid smooth KK rom Use greenify and Amplify to get good battery life.
