{Q}My GS3 become unstable and really hot.... - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Guys i have a serious problem with my phone....I have rooted and unrooted gs3....now its official and not rooted.The problem which i have is that the results of antutu are really unstable and becomes warm with two tests...I have got 16000 points and now i get 11000-13000(in antutu)....To reach 15000 again i have to let the phone get cold and start again the test....But this behavior is a little bit stange so i rely on your answers guys!
Have a nice day!

Had same problem on my S3 too. Im afraid you cant do anything about it. The heating problem should be gone in less than a week. After that your S3 should be back to normal.

I used to had same problem with my s3 getting hot but then I found the solution and that's turn the a/c while using s3

I got 15000+ on mine. When your GS3 gets really hot it gets a lower score. The second time i run antutu i only got 13000. I think this problem is connected to the sudden death thing.

Well, samsung said it has something to do with their software and they have fixed it already. But the issue is still their. Lets just hope the upcoming 4.2.2 update for our GS3 will fix the issue, the update should arrive this may or june.

So you people are running stress tests on a stock rom, including a stock kernel? In that case please expect the phone to get hot, then slow down drastically when it does.
The stock kernel has conservative thermal throttling built in, nothing to do with SDS. It's behaving exactly as it should and I wouldn't advise trying to 'make it better'. Search here in Q&A for 'I killed my phone by overclocking'.

Some Gs3 units tend to heat up without even using it. Can you answer that?

Hopefully it was already set up and had the locations services checked. I just tried with my phone in hand and no go couldn't find or have ability to wipe. Im not saying it doesnt work just that hopefully all the correct things were set up.

OP I am sorry for your loss
As this has turned into a "what to do if your phone is lost" thread
I am moving it to Q&A and Help section
That reward money may be best turned towards buying a used or refurbed phone at this point.

recovered!
turns out there realy isnt an app you can push onto the phone that will locate it. plan b doesn't work for note2.but finding the guy who was at your house. beating him with a small bat in the face until he reveals the buyer of the phones location then going there with your a .38 and knocking on the door does.
btw for anyone who has not done it yet. install some kind of tracking app right now. you dont want to know what its like to loss it.

Just traded my Galaxy S4 for the One.

At first, wasn't digging the briwser, because it's slower than the s4, but this thing is silky smooth with apps and etc.
Although I'm kinda pissed, because the guy I traded with had a pretty busted up ONE, and lied to me on the phone about the phones condition, while I had a mint condition s4.
Overall satisfied. Screen size could be better, but overall nice.
Why do you prefer the ONE over the s4.

I had an htc one, then went to the s4, and bow I'm going back to the one on Tuesday and selling the s4 to a dear friend. I found the stock htc browser faster than touchwiz. Touchwiz lags on me big time. But I found out about next browser a few minutes ago By I really really like it. Works really well. Check it out. But I prefer the one because the interface is cleaner and faster than touchwiz. Also feels better in the hands

Are you talking about the stock HTC browser? Did I get a defective phone? Not being a smart ass. I really think I did. The stock browser literally takes 10-15 seconds to load certain websites.
Chrome is good, but I find that the HTC is horrible with scrolling and moving around the page.

I would imagine load times are very dependent on your internet connection. Especially if the web page contains a lot of pictures/flash/videos/anything besides text.

OK, NVM. Now the stock browser wants to be fast. I must've been doing something really wrong before, or maybe pages loaded from bookmarks are slow. Its very fast now.
I'll keep using, and update if it slows down again. My connection has nothing to do with it. I'm always fast speeds.

Digitizer issue

I have my xt910 for about a year now (bought it brand new) and I have spotted some digitizer issues. Before rooting my device I've noticed that sometimes the recognized touch point was far away from the actual touch point. It actually was at the same vertical line, but far higher. Imagine pressing the space virtual key and the recognized touch is about at the middle of the screen.
So one of my first moves was to root the device, as I thought it would be a software issue.(Here in Greece the device won't upgrade to the official 4.1) Still no luck though after trying several ROMs, so my second thought was the scratched screen protector that I had from the first day I bought it. After replacing it, still the problem persists...
What else should I try to fix this??
PS1: It doesn't do this all the time, but randomly, and it randomly fixes itself.
PS2: When it does it, I think it recognizes 2 spots, the actual touch point and one more above that.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Does this happen when running on battery or while plugged in the charger?
My phone previously used to sense the touch wrongly but only when it was plugged in to power. I changed my charger and things are good!

As long as your bootloader is still locked then your warranty is good. Do you have an unlocked bootloader?

I had to send my phone in to get a replacement so what I did was delete all the data and cache from my rooted apps before deleting them. I also went into my file manager and deleted all files that had anything to do with root off my system and finally re flashed via RSD lite. That got rid of root access but idk about the bootloader cause mine is locked still.

That should work for you. I had an incredible 2 with unlocked bootloader that I had to send it for a warranty issue and I just used an unroot method. I'm guessing it worked cause I never got charged for the new phone or anyone contacting me about it. I didn't use RSD though. The unroot method never said anything about locking the bootloader again, just removing root access. I'm assuming it locked it though. I would look into if RSD will lock the bootloader again if you were to flash back to stock.

I remember the consensus being that this didn't really help that much. The perceived increase in responsiveness and/or smoothness was a result of this "mod" keeping the CPU ramped up...
Regardless, this "mod" has been implemented in some custom kernels, well at least the frandom parts.
Someone chime in if I'm wrong or you know better...

(Solved) Wifi speed problem after KitKat update

I am scratching my head of this one. Ever since I upgraded to KitKat my wifi speed has dropped to almost no existent. It was always rock solid on jellybean. Every other wireless device in my house is capable of normal download and upload speeds except my phone.
I am using freezas stockish rom if that helps. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Just because I received the answer deep in another thread, I wanted to post the solution here as well. The problem seems to be under settings, location, mode... If you are set to powersave, change it to any other mode and your speed will immediately come back to normal. I hope this info helps!

Update. I think the solution is to leave gps on all the time. Then it won't switch back to Power Saving. Kitkat changed some things with location. On my Nexus 5, my gps was always on by default. Luckily it doesn't seem like there's extra battery drain to go with it like we have in previous Android versions.
