A lot of people do experience frequently freezing after the latest update from Samsung. A few send in to repair and some did do their own magic stuff. But so far there isn't any clear solution. I think we ow a explanation from Samsung. This is a well known problem and people all over the world have it. But how can we get Samsung to take care. We didn't pay 600 € for a phone that freezes all the time.
I gues I bring mine in repair tomorrow.
Any tips?

Bring your phone to repair...this will increase the failure device KPI Samsung might have.

Yes but I read that a lot of people got there device back from repair and they just reinstalled the firmware and that solved nothing. So I just don't want my phone away for 2 weeks and it didn't solve a crap...

very very few have a freezing problem a lot of the actual freezing problems are user error not a fault with the phone .

In service centre they will only format your phone, u can do it urself. They people only have one solution that is reinstall firmware.

Yup I would fully wipe your device and reinstall the update. This is one of the reasons OTA will always cause an issue.
But I think I have a problem. 6 months ago I dropped and my camera screen came off... so that problaby meens I void my warranty?

? Sorry..?
Do you have memory of dropping your phone or maybe installing an APK that is not safe?
Maybe that could be a problem for you.
Just a question, not the answer.

The last time it dropped was 6 months ago. So I don't think that's the cause. I also resetted my whole phone a few times so an APK can't be the problem either I think. Or the APK must have broken some hardware? Is that possible?
Since the latest update from Samsung I haven't had any problems with it! What I noticed is that when I clear the RAM memory it only closes 10 apps. Before that were 30 apps. Does the update just limit the RAM or does it close less apps?

I installed the latest file from PHN from sammobile ( I9300XXELL4_I9300PHNELL2_I9300CEELL1_HOME.tar ) After the update my broadband-version is I9300CEELL1 , Buildnumber I9300XXEMC2.
Another question. When everything was OK and I didn't do anything, in the playstore my phone was named as T-mobile Samsung Galaxy S3. Then I installed the PHN version from Sammobile and now it only says Samsung Galaxy S3. In recovery it also says Applied multy CSC. Should I get another region code, the one from T-mobile netherlands?

Hello I have a SIII buy from amazon.Sometimes the phone run really slowly and I don't know why.I make a reset factory but nothing,a tips to run more better?
Thanks!
this phone should not run slow anything right out of the box........i would be mad if i get my new S3 and i see lag.
how is that possible? go to local samsung office and tell them about it and get it mended.
There shouldnt be any slowness. u got a lemon. go exchange it.

May i know where u experienced the lag? how serious?
It was simply unusable. The only solution was restarting. Even after a factory reset wasn't helpfull. Now I have a new device. Until now all is ok. Fingers crossed!

Am getting similar msgs about a running game whatever..... It must b some application i installed which pushes such ads or adware...... How can i know which app? Nd by the way dont know if it is wifi on off related but rather happens when internet source is toggled..... Wifi/3g etc.... Task manager shows no application running....
I asked my (Chinese) wife, it means "The Internet connection was changed".
I don't see any pics man
A quick look at logcat will probably tell you the offending app or process.
It means way of connection to the internet has changed in Chinese
I had a similar issue to this on a UK firmware with an SGS2 and when wifi was enabled it used to display a Korean message, I think there maybe some non-translated strings in this area.
Here is the text if you need it:-
網絡連接狀態改變
So do u guys know how to fixed it?

Well, there is no "issue" except that they've forgotten to translate a string of text somewhere saying "your internet connection changed" as previously stated. This notification is correct.
If you don't want to root it or flash different firmware you'll have to live with it for now.

Use this app sounds like SDS, it'll check the chip and you know is it "SDS" straight away. If says "Insane" you're screwed

Hi djembey, and do you think that it might be the cause even if I have the ROM with Samsung patch installed? For SGS3 it is XXELLA. It started to freeze/stuck last Saturday, sometimes it restarts without my intervention, sometimes i had to do it myself.
Thanks

Yes it does say insane chip. what do i do now. i have it within warranty. shall i get it replaced.

Hi leinad, I lagfixed the partitions, restarted, did a call and the phone stuck again - it did not even turned on the screen. Works again after restart (loooong press of Power button). I think I'll have to send it to repair center.

Yes, it says insane chip. Memory check passed without errors. I have the ROM that should have applied the Samsung patch for this chip, but I think it fixes only the hard dead. It stucks with both, rooted and unrooted ROMs, I did many Odin reinstalls during last few days. I tried even a very old 4.0.4 and it also did not work correctly. I think it froze even with pure install after factory reset, I have to back it up and try once again.
You're both very unlucky. Insane chip mean SDS sooner or later. I'll use warranty to get replacement. Samsung reckons that in new Kernel is fix for it but people still reporting dead S3's.

Hi djembey,
I fixed it for now by factory reset and Titanium restore, but I think it will be better to send it to service.
Thank you

try full wiping your phone and install a new rom exclude XXELLA build because it's one the versions that cause hanging

I'm with the SDS model but it says sane chip. Does it mean it will turn insane sooner or later even with the kernel fix?
Alrighty! Play Store on the PC says that my s3 is AMT Samsung GT-I9300. Sometimes even without the AMT in the beginning.
No paid apps are showing, VERY many apps are incompatible. Started two weeks ago, rooted 4 months ago and haven't done anything like that after that!
I will say more info after some small hints or (try this and that)
So what phone model do you have and what firmware .
Have you searched Google Play problems and fixes .

to see if it's fake just check if the Samsung features are present

Super Strange!
I recently bought Samsung galaxy quattro for a friend and i noticed that in settings its written 4.1.2 in about phone which i claim is not.
1) First you can't expand notification via single finger, you need to use 2 finger.
2) Memory leak issue.
I think its 4.1.1
What's your thoughts guys?

Strange. Samsung doesn't have reasons to modify build.prop. Your friend could use Odin to reflash stock ROM, it might solve these problems

Yes, I can. But, before flashing the stock rom, bring the device to authorized technical assistance, since it's still on warranty.
