Hello! The 4.2.1 you speak of isn't official its a leak (beta)... you need to do a full wipe to get messaging working correctly. Also check the freezing thread and SDS thread about the freezing issue as this is related to the fix samsung applied to attempt to stop SDS

when you flash rom via odin everything on the phone will be automatically erased! then why don'y you do a factory reset from recovery? do as mentioned by glebun! messaging app on 4.2.1 leaked rom works only if you perform data factory reset!
No, you have to.

no, it won't. you need to wipe data yourself.

my s3 have now started to vibrate automatically for no reason.. vibration is set off. I updated recently to 4.2.1
help?
may be some of the apps are force closing.
do a factory reset if not done already...
if this is happening even after factory reset, then just flash back to 4.1.2 and wait for the stable 4.2.1 release

I have done the factory reset before when it was freshly installed.
that's strange,
I am on 4.2.1, and I am not facing any problems.
The only difference is, I did factory reset after flashing 4.2.1

it started when I was using whatsapp . I restarted phone removed the battery too.. it vibrated few times but it have stopped now as I turned off my internet and back on.
good to know that its not happening any more
if it starts to vibrate again, just wipe the data for the app which you were using when it started.

Its not a released finished firmware .

I've seen this issue with some apps such ad whatsapp, it seems like a bug in the notification, it does not say you have a new message (which you do) and just sort of vibrates! You could check your bbs tho.

hello all,
i was a happy user of my GS3(i9300) running cm 10.1 nightlies until one day i decided to tinker with the developer settings.i by mistake touched the external screen or some thing like that and i clicked 1080p.my phone went into a frozen state.i tried booting it,it well,booted but always froze and i ultimately had to do a factory reset to get my hpone back.this was nearly a month ago.i recently started using the cyandelta app to update my cm.i updated thrice or twice.my phone when put to charge,always froze.i couldnt do anything but restart.(pressing the power button didnt help either.).i ignored this for a while.today ,the phone randomly started freezing and i could only get it back to normal after a reboot.with great difficulty i managed to backup my apps via titanium backup.it never lasted for more than an hour without freezing.i decided to update cm manually.so downloaded it,wiped the phone etc.it got stuck in a bootloop. many restarts later, i got to the initial setup screen.it froze there too.again after many restarts,it finally was in a usable condition.i started restoring the apps(there too it froze).frustrated,i decided to revert to touchwiz of which i made a nandroid backup earlier,it too is feezing.it is freezing a lot more than cm.even after many reboots,the phone isnt normal.after just pulling down the status bar,the phone freezes,the power,volume buttons...none can revive it.only pressing the power for a long time and restarting it brings it back up,but again it ****ing freezes.i dont have any damn idea on what to do.please help.

Ok , so you want stock rom ? ok go to samfirmware.com dowload any rom of there , download odin 1 85 , put the ROM in PDA case , tick start and wait ! when the phone starts up , push vol + home button and lock screen button

Restore your original rom or Nandroid backup .
or root phone boot to recovery .
Format cache system data sd card and preload .
Boot to download mode and flash stock rom .

immediately after installing the rom go to recovery mode and wipe data factory reset and cache and then switch on your phone :good:

Teaches how to get back on stock ROM.
The tutorial is for fixing a soft bricked S3 but the instructions are how to get back to stock.

Hi guys, any help would be appreciated!
My galaxy s3, on 4.1.2, has been periodically freezing, and then the only way to get it working again is to either take the battery out or hold down the standby button and restart it that way.
It started about 4 or 5 days ago, freezes whether on battery or charging. Sometimes it freezes multiple times in 15 minutes, sometimes it lasts 30-40 mins before freezing.
It was unrooted when the problem started, since rooted to see if that helped but no luck.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Root cannot help and it invalidates warranty .
First step is to backup data and factory reset .
jje
Yes, factory reset and select another kernel that will accept more multitasking
Didn't you try to flash XXEMB1 firmware with Odin? If so let's try to do it, because I've heard that Samsung fixed freeze issues with this firmware.
And also I flashed XXEMB1 firmware and I have no more freezes, so my advice would by to flash this firmware to all people who have freeze issues.:good:

What do you mean by selecting another kernel?

Must be root / loss guarantees though? / Renew it, always a Nandroid backup EFS folder!!
After the flash root kernel, there are plenty on xda
Hi all,
Two days before i updated my phone to latest version of Jellybean 4.2.1 through service center. Now suddenly all my apps getting stopped suddenly and even phone dialer and contacts everything getting closed. Please help me to solve this issue.
My phone is not rooted and still under warranty. Using Stock ROM
Waiting for reply.
Hi. I had the same problem for a while. But then I went into recovery mode and selected wipe data/factory reset. And it worked fine. (Safe method and No loss of warranty). But my phone was still laggy. Crashing. Freezing and stuff. So I just got fed up and flashed a custom rom, and it was miles better. And I havnt had any issues at all( dangerous method and loss of warranty) I wouldn't advise you to do this unless you were completely fed up with your phone. Hope it helps.

Anyone facing the same issue?. Is there another way is there to solve this problem? I totally fed-up after this stock rom update from Micromax. I did factory reset 3 times in a day and still its not resolved. Please help me :crying::crying::crying::crying:
I think you are doing factory reset from settings option. Try to factory reset using recovery method, if problem is still not solved you can flash the original firmware again by yourselves. Search on xda and you can find firmware and flashing method as well.
