CM10.1 Keeps crashing Samsung S3 - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
I have CM10.1 installed and I update often but I still have my crashes happening. For some reason whenever I use instagram, facebook and other apps have the the camera function, my phone reboots. This doesn't happen when i use the regular camera.
Anyone had this problem?

Did u make clean wipe before flash rom? Or mega wipe something like that. Imo factory reset doesn't make ur phone clean enough for flashing rom. Try formatting system before flash rom.

Yes and it's annoying as hell! I've had CM 10.1.2 stable on for quite awhile now and yes I'd wiped it 3x, dalvik, etc but out of the blue one day, the Gallery app had my camera photos in a folder and when I clicked on a image to display from there, the screen went black and it rebooted. It's gone from bad to worse. Now it crashes when I even scroll through the gallery pics. So much for "stable". This is a considerable bug IMO.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions??

Sds?
Suggest you change kernel (also suggest if you do the LATEST siyah one. most stable one so far).
Suggest you change rom: aosp not so good for s3: unstable and high battery drainage.
Also cyanogen known for being unstable on s3.
suggest foxhound rom if flash.

[Q] MIUI - camera error

Anybody else have issues w/ the Camera in Stock MIUI Rom? From the Camera, when I click on the thumbnail (bottom left) to go to Gallery, it takes a while to load (white screen until then) and when I go back to Camera, it often gives an error 'Can't connect to camera' and dies
I've been running MIUI for a few days now and I'm a heavy user of everything in the UI.
I had a few problems with the camera at first, now I don't for some reason. Used to be slow showing gallery from camera app like you stated, I re flashed it twice because the new version came out with the CM7 camera but I didn't like it so I flashed back to the MIUI v3 without the CM7 camera.
I've had less problems with the entire rom in general since I uninstalled setcpu and didn't OC the phone. It's still crazy fast and now I don't have as many issues, used to freeze like 2-3 times a day and I had to reboot the phone because of it. Now that doesn't happen since I uninstalled the OC stuff.

Thanks strange. I don't have SetCPU. May be I'll try to reflash the rom. Overall I like this. Is the look and feel for this rom specific to the 2.3.7 or has MIUI customized the settings menu, etc
Anybody else has issues w/ MIUI stock camera .. please advise

ICS camera problem

Ive moved to cMIUI rom lately, and after playing with the ICS Camera I have noticed that I can't capture pictures with the front camera, and some other features doesn't work either.. when trying to use the features the message "Unfortunately, Camera ICS has stopped".
Any one had the problem? or have a solution?
It's a rom-related problem. Maybe you flashed the latest experimental/nightly

It's a ROM problem. These are the options you can try:
1. You can try third-party camera apps in market
2. Flash the latest version of the Rom
3. Stay with the Rom and live with the problem
4. Flash another ROM. There are plenty good ROMs out there.

How did you install it? What were the exact steps you did? The camera should be working.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
I did full wipe, data, cache, dalvik ... started the installation via aroma .. thats it I guess, ohhhh.. I did downgraded cause of some problems in the last version.. can it be the problem? I did cache, dalvik before the downgrading..
Problem with other camera
My problem is that , my stock camera apk(ICS) is working properly but it takes long time to take that snap.
I tried to install other camera applications but i found that ever application displays "INVERTED SCREEN" (When the Camera id ON).
After clicking on the button (to take the snap) it automatically reverts back and shows Correctly in the Gallery..
Pls Help...

Why does my phone always slow down over time?

Every time I flash a new ROM, the phone is super fast and responsive at first. Then over time, it starts to slow down and have weird lag even after I reboot it. I only install a handful of apps on the phone too. Anyone experience this too?
Yes, phone does slow down over time due to new apps which introduce
extra background processes to fetch and update like mail, calendar, ..... As well as more data the phone has to load , example: Messaging app is slower because of the amount of messages.

Are you using Hellybean or any other CM10 based ROM? It's recommended to wipe cache and fix permissions when it starts to slow down. This should fix the problem.

Thanks, that worked. Does that only happen for CM10 roms?
Do you know the reason?
Run v6 supercharger with scriptmanager ^^
You can find v6 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276&highlight=vacuum+&+reindex
If you are REALLY curious why the lag happens however, you can find your answer here: http://www.rt-embedded.com/blog/archives/linux-memory-consumption/

[Q] jelly bean worst version !

hi
i have galaxy s3 with JB 4.1.2 rooted I9300 rom Poland
and my problems start
1 . Even after cleaning and after WIPE high fine
He first 600 of 833MB
After a few minutes he 720 phone starts to feel like a slow
I go to games and everything works great no problem
But I hear songs song stuck in another and back again lodged a second
The battery runs down very quickly because of the high RAM
2. My alarm does not always ring
Once I woke up and saw it only vibrate
Even once someone called me and was just a vibrate
He calls me back and then have a song
3. Someone calls me take a few minutes to load the contact's name
4. My friend sent me a picture that SMS is not via software or something.
MMS.
So he sent and I do not get the picture he sent me.
If he sends only standard message I get. But if a picture is "MMS" I do not get.
Why?
and more problems!
i just want to back to ICS Seriously this version was only one problem the device heats up quickly and that's it.
Everything works great for me there is no problem. The device was amazing.
But in JB device always stuck full of problems
Do you have a solution to all these problems?
Do not tell me to delete just do WIPE or go to CM10 or something
Or you saying wait Android 5?
Sounds like you may have a bad app or bad something else. I have been on JB since the leaks and they are awesome compared to the ICS versions.
But you may want to download the most recent version and install it clean.
And wiping everything is a good thing as it cleans out phone and lets the user only reinstall the needed apps. Well for me at least

ever time i change my rom i do full wipe "everthing like new phone buyin now"
and i have backup for titanium backup ok
and all my app from google play i buy apps beecause I support developers
and i now what app is good or bad.
OK if your using titanium back up, only restore the app not the data.
There could be some old data that is messing it up. Like I said, its actually better to start all over and redownload all apps and start new.

Can't say I share your experiences. Jelly bean is fine.
Do a full wipe and just don't restore any data or app...
That should fix all your problems

JB rom is pretty fine according my experiences, however if you are not satisfied with the stock one try a modded rom.
Regarding the RAM I wouldn't worry at all. Android takes care of the problem and will kill apps before ram gets overfilled as far a I understood. RAM I guess isn't the problem for any lags. I recommend to try different Kernels istead, Boeffla for example which works pretty fine with my rom.
Also battery drain is not a RAM problem it is caused by applications working in the background which suck the battery. There is a nice program in the App store called Greenify that allows you to fine tune this.
Format sdcard system data cache preload .
Flash whatever firmware you want via Odin .
Do not install apps or restore TB .
Test for one week problems then return to service .

Any Non Stock Rom Reboots and Shows Green Screen Randomly

I'm having an issue with every rom except the stock rom with the phone automatically rebooting itself while doing simple tasks and showing a green screen. I tried enabling force gpu rendering etc but still getting this. Though with any stock roms (default rogers rom + the jb 4.1.2 for att etc) i dont occur this issue. What could be the problem?
Yeah this happens wayyy to often on 4.2.2 roms a little bit less on 4.1.x roms.

This is usual since we do not have the kernel source to make ROMS stable and not reboot. 4.2.2 ROMs are more stable then 4.1.2 so idk what you did there.

Rebooting on 4.2 ROMS
I'm having the same problem as OP with my i717 It happens bad on all of the 4.2 ROM's I've tried, and I know it's not the ROM. So far I've tried: Slim, Supernexus, CM10.1,ReVolt all of which I love! I really want to fix this. I start a game or other app and get a wildly flashing green, blue or sometimes black screen and then she reboots. Usually when opening a game or instagram, but not limited to those apps. It's hard for me to replicate the symptoms. Anyone else struggling with these symptoms on 4.2 roms? It seems less often on 4.1.2 ROM. When I restore a Blackstar ICS setup from twrp the phone runs beautifully. I've used darkside super-wipe hoping that would help. I've also tried changing recovery. Now I'm running out of things to try. I feel like somethings not being cleaned properly before install but I'm new so I don't really know.
Should I try using ODIN to flash a stock jelly bean firmware in order to sort of "start over fresh"?
I wish I could explain to everyone better my problem.

1) AOSP is unofficial so these is going to happen. 2) Is your screen flickering? 3) if so check HW overlays in dev options.

It happens to PACman ROMs too, try listening to music while attempting to cause the crash.. .There will be a loud beeping sound, followed by the greenish-blue screen, then the device will shut off, and reboot
I got the crash on trying to wake the device to unlock, and grabbed a logcat using Catlog.
