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

I'm using omegarom v40. Before it's working perfectly but now my main problem is every now and then phone keeps freezing. The only way to make it work again is by hard rebooting or holding down the power key. I already did reflashing and also a full wipe but still the prblem exist. What seems to be the problem?

I would ask in the roms thread .

I solved when i deleted all internal sdcard data. Backup it and try, add only your personal data and file that you know, the other will be created by app

Slightly better. But this might be a ram issue. It doesn't happen when I'm fresh off a restart. Hmm.

Yep, that wasn't a fix, try to change your rom with another a let's see if this fix your issue.

There can be numerous things that is creating lag.rom,kernel apps,to many appswrong settings in kernel(oc,uv,script)this was a quick way to see if the issue disappear.
Are u on stock or costum rom.was it like this after flashing base rom or after u installed 3' party apps and I could go on.
Just flashing new firmware doesn't "fix" anything.locating the prob does

Then its probably an app u installed or to many.do u use a cache cleaner.I can easely clean 50-60 mb after a day of heavy browsing."easy cache cleaner" is free in store.
Or try uninstalling the latest apps u installed.
If u have cwm,try clean dalvik cache

Screen Not Timing Out

Hi guys.
Am on the latest 4.0.4 unbranded in the UK (waiting patiently for JB)
But my screen is not timing out and is draining the battery something chronic, basically unplugged it from charge this morning and have just got the message for the phone to be plugged into the charger.
The display timeout is set to 15 seconds but unless I press the power button to put the screen off then it is just constantly staying on.
Help anyone?

Whenever i exit Whatsapp by using the Back button, the screen freezes for few seconds, ?Then, i get a black screen for another few seconds, then it takes me back to my Home Screen, and everything is back to normal... no error msgs.. nothing at all
And starting few hours ago, it is doing the same thing with other few apps.
I'm using Nova Launcher Prime if that matters
I tried removing Nova, i tried using another Rom, went back to Stock, same thing, removed Whatsapp, same thing. I'm pretty sure it's something related to an app, but idk :crying:

I would have to agree it sounds like a bug in the app if the factory reset doesn't fix it write the developer and ask him about it he may already know of the bug or at least he may need to know

Go into development settings menu and disable HW overlays and Force GPU rendering see if that works?
For deep wipe enter the below code on dialpad. It cleans everything on your internal SD as well. BUT backup any files you want on internal SD. This will not give any warning will start the process once you enter last #
Type*2767*3855# Full
factory reset (Don't dial
it does not ask you to
confirm unless you have
problem)
Then via ODIN install the latest ICS ROM and try whatsapp before installing 3rd party installers. I'm using whatsapp w/o issues on Goexlauncher and Omega V16.1 (JB ROM)

[Q] Why wifi is turning off when screen turns off?

Hi,
I am using a samsung galaxy s2 I9100 phone and recently updated to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 XXLS8. My problem is that when I turn my screen off or it turns off automatically, the wifi network is off. Wifi duing sleep is turned to always on in settings but doesnt seem like working. If im chatting and until someone replies the screen turns off, I wnt receive any notifications until I turn it on to check manually. Same applies for email. When i turn the screen on, it will show wifi now connected. This was not a problem on ICS as even though the screen was off, I would receive notifications and email as it is sent.
So can u please suggest a solution and also I dont want to go back to ICS
Thanks

Thx for your reply but as i said i dnt want to downgrade from Jelly Bean as i waited long to have it and it works well. The only prob being that wifi issue. I fink this problem should be solved instead. Anyone having the same issue?

Try to use a nuke script on the device and reflash JB.
Don't forget to backup everything.

Your kernel can turn the wi-fi off when the screen is off. I think it's a kernel issue.

Finally I fixed our problem about wifi. I know you will consider me a stupid, because my solution is related to something we decide to exclude from the possible causes of our wifi issue, but... The problem is fixable managing the router settings! I have a b/g/n modem-router... When it works in b/g/n mode the wifi issue appears... If it works only in b/g mode it disappears! I had exactly the same problem with a Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray, and the solution I found for S2 works for it too... I hope this can helps you too.
Let me know if you fixed or not...
Ps: I actually am on the stock XWLSD...

PAC-man ROM Question

Hey guys, a few questions...
1. When I flashed the rom using the appropriate method (format system / factory reset / wipe davlik) my previous SD card data "disappears" I can't see it in astro but I do through boot loader.. What is going on? How can I access that data?
2. When I tried to install black mart, an apk file it doesn't let me press the install button. I do have the unknown source option checked. How can I fix that??
3. I restored my backup, stock rom, and everything works fine for now... Is this safe?? Can I just restore PAC-man and continue using it??

1. Its in /data/media, this is covered numerous times, its a 4.2 change. Copy your files from /data/media to /0.
2. I won't help with warez. Aside from that is it the only app this happens with?
3. Restore wipes before restoring, so its mostly fine, but I wouldn't flash PAC over a sense rom since they are all 4.1.

This is the second time I've seen astro fail to see those files, they really need to update. I use solid and it sees all that stuff first e right off the bat, no settings needed. Its not free, though, so I try not to suggest it as it has a trial period last I checked. Es file manager should also work well.
