System doesnt fc apps. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

PRoblem is when any of my apps froze, phone not force to close. Its freezes.
Only the power button works for open screen light and off. Screen is unresponsive.
I search everywhere but other freeze issues doesn't match my problem. It happens on every rom I use. I can give logcat etc.

I found the problem is the SuperUser. I think its db not working on 4.1.2.

Try Jkay framework or 3Mint framework, they will make you capable to kill applications with long press back/menu button.
Also, if not completely dead or you can enter homescreen, long press home button and swipe it out of recent apps kills it as well.

Does the home button actually exits the app?

I notice that the pressing the home button while in an app works differently for different apps
For example in Google Maps, when I press the home button, it exits the program
However in the default browser, when I press the home button, it goes to the home screen but the app doesn't exit (it's still visible as running in the task manager)
How do I close the Browser? there's no option to exit it either
Press back button until you get to home screen. That's how you exit most of the applications. If you press the home button, most of the apps will keep running in the background.

This applies to the browser as well?
Wow if I opened up 5 windows, I have to back all the way til the browser closes!

Yes, it applies to browser as well. You can close tabs before pressing back if you don't wanna press the button too many times
Or use dolphin browser which you can exit with only 2 clicks..press menu and select exit..

Another way of closing browser in 2 steps can be, open a new window and hit back button.

Or just hold home button > task manager > exit app you want
Why would you exit it anyway ? Android is made so that you don't need to actually exit your apps. Especially Browser.

Do you mean to say that when I go back to the home screen, the browser cuts off data usage automatically?
(Sorry, coming from Symbian, I'm a total Android noob! )
Browser is put into "idle" mode, so while the app is still kept in memory for quick resume, it doesn't use any CPU power or data.
If your device needs RAM, Android OS will automatically shut down the app to release some memory.
Check out this post for some more details.

[Q] What I noticed with almost every JB custom ROMs

1. S Voice
Using wipe flashed rom, go into S Voice setting and untick 'open with home button' feature. Then remove S Voice app with Titanium Backup. From then on whenever screen turn off while in an app or even drawer, single home button press to bring screen back on forces home screen instead of whatever app I was in.
I dont want to keep S Voice app. Removing S Voice app without unticking the home button feature only work as long as I dont reboot my s3.
Any solution to this?
2. Side volume buttons + mute
Almost every JB ROM including Poland Official is not allowing me to change from volume control down mute, only down to vibrate.
Any solution to this?
Thank you for reading

both are problems with the stock samsung rom - I believe Jkays mod fixes these two issues (found in original development - for use with deodexed/custom roms).

[Q] waking phone from home button shows home screen instead of app i was last on

Hi, i have an international Galaxy S3 (i-9300). I recently updated to Jelly Bean via Samsung Kies (baseband version I9300DXDLI5) and there's a change that has been bugging me. In stock ICS, when the screen turned off due to inactivity, pressing either the power button or the home button would turn on the screen and lets me pick up where i left off. Now in JB, pressing the home button to wake the phone will take me to the home screen. Pressing the power button to wake the phone in both ICS and JB works as normal.
For example, I'm browsing the web on Opera Mobile. The screen times out and turns off. In ICS, when i press the home button, the screen would turn on and i could continue browsing. In JB, when i press the home button, the screen would turn on but take me back to the home screen. Pressing the power button works but the home button is bigger and easier to press.
Anyone knows a fix for this?
I'm running stock JB and not rooted.
Thanks so much
It's a known issue. There's no fix for it on the stock ROM, but there is a workaround - use a different launcher, such as Apex or Nova. The issue only affects the default Touchwiz launcher.

Not true. I use Nova Launcher (the paid version) and I also experience this problem (or is it a feature?).
The workaround I found is to wake the phone using the POWER button instead of the HOME button.
I found a fix\workaround (no root needed) to this please see the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1929953
looks like that wasn't a work around.
Any updates on this?
I don`t seem to have that issues.. Goes right back to whichever apps I was using. Tried a bunch of apps too.
The bug happens only if you have disabled S-Voice.
If you have S-Voice enabled (double press home button) then you will not encounter this bug. But the trade off is the Home Button action is delayed.
Yes its either you have to enable s-voice but I don't like this idea so I use jkay framework. In jkay framework the issue is solved along with many other features and mods. Try it out

I went through that thread from start to finish, the only suggestion was actually a workaround.
Basically enable S-Voice, but at the trade of slowing down your home button.
How did you fix the issue uronfire?

[Q] recent apps list keeps opening

So im having a problem with the home button and recent apps list. For the past few days about half the time that i push the home button it pauses for a few seconds and the opens up the recent apps list instead of going back to the home screen. I know that when you do a long press on it the recent apps list will open but its now doing it when just quickly pressing the home button. Has anybody else had this problem? and does anybody know how to fix it? By the way i have disabled the double press for s-voice and have turned all transitions and window animations to off.
Thanks
Sounds like the button is sticking when you push it. Try cleaning the small opening around it.

Home button acting weird

Hi
I have a galaxy s3 with cm11 and boeffla kernel. Today, out of nowhere, my home button and menu button started acting weird. I have the home button setted to sleep my phone on long press and wake it up when the screen is off and do nothing on double press . The menu is set to open the recent apps. It has always worked this way till today.
When I press the home button inside an app it won't return to the home but it still wakes the phone when the screen is off. Also the menu won't open the recent apps and it doesn't vibrate either. The back button still works but does not vibrate. I used gravity box to activate the navigation bar and the home button doesn't work on the navigation bar either.
I tried installing upgrating my firmware to the latest nightly, wipe cache and dalvik but no luck.
You won't repair a modded framework, wipe and start again.
So I need to do a factory reset? Is there a way to know what happened? I didn't touch anything. Is it possible that some xposed module caused this?
