Laggy phone - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it just me or shouldnt a high end 500€ phone not lag while scrolling in menus in the stock launcher and pressing settings in settings app etc. Feel lag everywhere.
I think i updated to JB ota and after that i factory reseted. May that be the reason?

Project butter is a complete failure on 4.1.1. If you now how to root you can try a custom ROM like CM10? Plenty of instructions on how to root and install these ROMs on this forum...

Yeah but how about that 4.1.2? My galaxy s2 has no lag in menus etc but my s3 lol

4.1.2 is very fluent

If you ask me the S3 is a failure altogether, Samsung should never of released it with 1gb of RAM. It just isn't enough.
And they've subsequently admitted that by releasing the LTE version with 2gb of RAM.
My S2 is fast as hell on 4.1.1, no lag anywhere. But my S3 lags like crazy on the same android version.

Zero lag problems here on the 4.1.2 leak. Never seen the thing run faster.

Mine is also running great!
Well,here's my combo:
Flash wannam rom or foxhound + Yank.lu kernel and factory reset.
Voila.
Anyway for those that want to keep it stock,my best friend's dad has an unrooted s3 with jelly bean and it runs great...dunno why you get lags with your....
Maybe try a factory reset?
Or if that fails try sending it back to sammy?

I have the exact same problem, with the same rom as you. My phone is laggy ass hell and battery life is worse than ****...
It should be a crime to take 500 euro's for a phone like this !

I'm running stock 4.1.1 and i don't notice any lag and i always charge every night.. Never died on me

For any one who get some lag in stock ROM please disable power saving mode... maybe this help..

i never use powersaving mode..

@OP disable bloatwares and ur phone will fly , stock rom bloated as hell :silly:
or flash custom rom

flash a different firmware

ive read somewhere here in xda that ui lags is common in stock JB for s3.from what ive observed,might be due too many bloatware and the 1.4ghz clock is not enough with all those apps running in the background which every now and then spikes causing lag(not really sure if thats the reason though).i have tried running stock JB with stock kernel and 77 stock apps removed(bloatware) and i dont get any lags.also tried stock JB with custom kernel(perseus) and overclocked it to 1.6ghz without any bloatware removed and i didnt have any lags.

Ive got all stock apps and about 95 downloaded and never get lag

i meant stock stock.not custom stock. custom stock usually have tweaks and optimizations.main reason to go custom stock instead of sammy stock.am also running ARHD 16 and its smooth.

Samsung galax ys2 touchability problem

I have a problem with my samsung galaxy s 2 touch screen . I find a lag when i swipe between pages on homescreen not just lag the icons kinda seem vibrating when i do so. But everything is fine when i play games. This has really pissed me off . I had once found a solution similar to my problem in this forum and a solution but that did not help me. I hope you can help me and pray this is not a hardware effect.
I am using the latest ICS. This problem was there when i used its earlier versions. I have tried customs roms like villainrom and miui as well . but the problems persisted.

hi everyone ........ finally i have found sth that minimises the problem ......... the problem seems to get fixed using ADW launcher ........ how the problem still exists on apps like google play and the default browser ( though not with dolphin browser ) anyways i would be happy if someone could still figure what has happened
Lp4 for me touch screen not responsive LP7 no problem on touch screen .

A few things to ask??

I have been using stock rom V20D Indian version! Am having lot of lags like I scroll between screens, settings, talk, dolphin browser, when I click on something or every application I open takes long and sometimes it says application not responding "force close" or "wait" I get random reboots too!!I just have rooted latest Indian version of stock rom I.e. V20D I don't even use custom a2sd I just use what is there in the rom and i have a network lag! data doesn't work most of the time and in service provider is Tata docomo am from Bangalore, Yelahanka. Does any one face the above issue and I don't see "E" or "3g"or "H" Mark on notification and not working either I have subscribed to 3g too! Data doesn't work which drives me crazy !!!! Is it the rom or this stock version which I flashed though kdz doesn't have proper baseband or its telecom provider problem!!!! Sorry for long post!!!

So, I recommend you, to flash a custom ROM, to get good performance. Some bugs may be gone. If you want Gingerbread, flash Gingersnap by neko95, ICS by hephappy (ROM Manager)

ICS was not meant for this phone. CPU speed is too low.
I'm using AOKP 4.0.4 right now, 600 MHz stock speed, the phone is laggy.
Battery is already draining really fast, so overclock might be useless.

just increase minimum cpu frequency to 480MHz!

Games Crashing on S3

i have recently downloaded Asphalt 7 & Real Racing 2 for my international variant s3. however, everytime i start these games....the game crashes before it even hits the menu.....can it be because i am running custom rom based on jelly bean leaks? i am currently running foxhound's latest 0.2 rom
Flash latest DLI6 Leak and you wont need a custom rom... Working flawless so far here!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
do games work properly on it?
The only time I've had problems with games was with custom kernels.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Yup, it´s probably because of the custom kernel.
those games may or may not be compatible with jb roms. so unless you havent changed anything in your rom you have to wait for an update if the problem is persistent
Oh ya.... Those supercharger scripts would also cause my games to run like crap or FC.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
I'm running fox hound 1.4.3 ics, with galaxsih (normal) its superb, it runs better than the iphone version.
Supercharger does mess things up but seeing as your on jelly bean your kernel should be stock right. I don't think custom kernels are out for it yet.

can anyone give me links to a proper working SD data for real racing 2? the 1s i downloaded just keeps crashing.... i changed roms & kernels but to no avail
i get this error m3g rr_track18.m3g break here.....
it works great on my phone. the only game i find laggy is the Brothers in Arms 2 where it takes so long to start, takes so long to load and takes so long to exit. and when it exits my live wallpaper just disappears and about 5sec redraw of drawer/home screen.
download real racing in samsung apps i downloaded mine there maybe it will work on you.
I am having the same issue with asphalt and MC3 on CM9 with stock cm kernel and siyah kernel.
I have seen on other threads that chainfire 3d might help but it says it's froyo/gingerbread only.
Any other suggestions? I'd rather keep cm but would like to play these games.

i9300 not at all smooth? :/

Good morning.
Ive been using my i9300 for about two months now. Im a former iPhone 4 user. I have noticed that the i9300 despite the fact that it has quad-core and 1GB RAM, is not at all smooth :/ I always get lag in the Homescreen and in the settings etc etc. I've tried like 20 ROMS or so :/ am i doing something wrong here? E.g. scrolling between homepages can get laggy! That wasnt supposed to happen right?\
Im currently at MIUI 2.9.14 ROM. Maybe im doing something wrong when i flash a new ROM?
What are the steps?
I delete the whole internalSD, i perform a data/factory reset via CWM, i delete cache and Dalvik Cache. Your help would be appreciated. Thank you for your time.

The rom you are on has problem of memory leak.
Just use a samsung-based rom. Your trouble will be fixed.

Yeah try that combo. Wanam or Omega Jelly Bean XXDLI8 leaks are very smooth.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
there are plenty of custom roms out there,
most of the JB leaks are much smoother than the ICS roms i have been using.( i am sure there are ICs roms that are smooth as well , just that i have not tested before. )
currently on Omega v23 and happy with it, no lags. you may just have to spend some time experimenting which one is to your preference.
Sir, I suggest you try out Omega ROM (ICS or JB) doesn't really matter, cause Omega is really really stable. I'm not prompting whatsoever because I'm on MIUI 2.9.14 too with hardcore speed mod kernel and it is perfectly great.
One advice, try not flashing so many ROMs at one go because it might cause system error such as connectivity to wifi or packet data. Stick to one you really like.
Edit: Do a full wipe, flash back stock firmware on PC Odin and root again to remove any bad 'history' and the lag too.
Hope I did manage to help!
Great day

If you want a rapid ICS rom then use Foxhound 1.4.3, it is quite simply the best ICS rom there is, and believe me i've tried them all.
Couple it with Galaxsih kernel @normal and apex launcher not much comes close to it.
As for Jelly bean, take your pick but just know that there are no final builds as of yet and all of them are leaks, meaning that kernel support is limited.
Thanks everyone ive never flashed back to stock before i used custom rom and i think that May be it like one of you suggested. About that miui rom and hardcore speed mod. It works on any MIUI rom or only on specific ones? If it does work on every miui where can i find it? I really like miui

You are welcome mate hmm what do you mean?? I'm using hardcore speed mod on my MIUI rom and I don't experience any lag (Provided you use apex launcher PRO too) I even have great battery life (8 hrs of hardcore using; with wifi or packet data On). You can definitely flash speedmod on your MIUI 2.9.14 and you will know what I mean.
Omega ICS on the other hand, is really stable and having that 'stock-ish' feel. But on MIUI, you know we rule the game.
Edit: If you wanna try out Omega, do a full wipe, flash back stock firmware (It will unroot device) then root again then try out Omega. It is really your decision.
But again, you know who rule the game with MIUI. Haha.
Great day ahead.

To get rid of the memory leak, go to ES Explorer, give it root and write permissions (in its options), then go to system/bin/ and delete kiesexe. You won't be able to use Kies anymore, but it'll kill the leak because it's caused by that process.
you should use the stock TW without scrolling wallpaper mod =p
I just prefer you to flash DLI18 stock JB from sammobile, wipe everything before flash, and I would prefer you to change animation scale and duration scale from 1 to 0.5,

Just a suggestion.... If you really like MIUI, but want a smoother and more stable ROM, why don't you flash the latest CM10 build, and then install MiHome Launcher? MiHome Launcher is the default launcher used in MIUI and it comes with an optional MIUI lockscreen as well. Once both are installed, it's virtually indistinguishable from a full MIUI ROM. Plus, it'll have the speed and smoothness of Jelly Bean with the stability of CyanogenMod (or as stable as a pre-release build can be).
Anyway, it was just a thought. Good luck to ya'!

[Solved] Galaxy s2 Over heating Problem

My galaxy s2 is overheating. I have rooted my phone and had Neat rom 5.2 installed for quite sometime when I first noticed the heating.I ignored it, but when it became a frequent thing I switched to Neatrom 5.5. This also did not solve the problem. Now I'm on wanamlite 14.6, with a few stock apps titanium backup app and whatsapp. Still the issue persists, what could be it? I tried better battery stats but did not find any app in particular which would be responsible to heat my fone. Is it the modem/kernel? I'm not to technical, I just flash becoz I like trying new roms and their cool features.
Also my battery drains really quick, at times just drops down 25-30% in 10 mins.
Should I try switching back to stock OS?
Hmm.. Did you overclock your phone or change any kernel related settings? Cpu governer? Anything?
Overclocking might be the reason of the heat and the battery drain.
Have you tried flashing the stock firmware?

I did not over clock my phone,tried under clocking it but not in this rom, I'd tried it long back, much before this heating issue.. I used a cpu governer for it. I will try flashing stock only if i'm sure it solves the issue. I like custom OS so much I don't wana go back.
Just try a stock ROM for now to check if it will fix the issue. Then you can revert back to custom roms.
Another question, what is your current cpu governor?

Right now I haven't changed my cpu governer.i mean it may be the default which comes with wanam14.6. I did not change it.

I have swapped my battery fr a couple of day's with my dad's s2 which was bought on the same day.That s2 has no heating issues, other than a once in a blue moon heating. Does flashing roms hamper the cellfone hardware in any way? I guess not, but i'm not able to find out what's causing it.

If you did all the recommended stuff flashing an stock rom, and other recommendations "in software", and you still have experienced the same problem with the heat issue... Them its a hardware problem you have...
Unless u can buy a system with water coolant for you Galaxy...
Or use ir for warm your winter's nights.
