So, every time my phone restarts or reboots the XDA developer app that I have installed deletes itself completely off of my phone. I just performed a factory reset hoping it fixed all the issues but it hasn't. Is it the app or my phone? I don't get it. The XDA icon.stays in the folder but if I click on it all it says is the app is not installed...
Also, my ringtone and notification sounds reset after a restart...

That sounds like a phone thing. How apps and settings are getting installed and removed upon a reboot (or crash?) I'm not sure, but definitely not normal.
I got a replacement phone and both of these issues are still there. It must be the software. Can anyone install the XDA Developers app from Google Play, restart and then see if it deleted itself? There's no way I just got two buggy phones. I reported these issues to HTC.

Hi,
I have 3 issues. Hope somebody can help:
1: Phone operates too slow. For example when I go to menu, app icons take around 5 seconds to appear. Similarly when I go to home screen it takes the same lag. So much delay that I could capture the screen short. You can see that weather clock and alarm widgets didn't appear. I cleared cache several times n restarts but it works fine for few mins n then again becomes laggy.
2: Keyboard disappears after typing few letters and sometimes it takes several secs to get it back. Reappearing delay is may be related to the above problem of slow response but why it disappears in first place.
3: Battery doesn't charge despite the whole night charging. Its happens not do often but really bugging me. I noticed that whenever I get missed notifications like calls or msgs it stops charging. Not sure why it's happening.
Looking forward to some help from experts. Please note that I feel these problems are occurring more after recent update. I'm using stock Rom of intl s3 version.
Thanks

Factory reset it and update to latest firmware via KIES or Odin.

Thanks.I have the latest stock firmware already. Do you think stock Rom is faulty? And I should root it and lose warranty. I can do that but is it the only solution?

Read again. Yes, sometimes it could be something related to your software.

Ok read It agaIn. Thanks. If thats the only solution, will wait for jellybean update that's just around the corner. I wondered if anything related to hardware or phone settings was to be blamed. But anyhow, thanks.

I am also on XXBLFB and facing no such issues. You should check if some app is not eating a lot of RAM.
Jelly Bean won't be available for this region anytime soon keeping in view the time it took S2 to receive ICS update here.
I suspect the same. my RAM doesn't go below 600mb even if I close all apps and clear ram from task manager. After restart, phone behaves well for an hour but then again becomes laggy. My S2 is much faster than this with lot more apps. This S3 is really disappointing me.

Try to find the culprit app. I have 100+ apps and set is still very very smooth.

That's the status when I just cleared cache.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
my suggestion is to do a factory reset (after backing up your contacts, messages, notes etc). then download your apps again and note the behavior of phone after each app. You might find the culprit then. It doesn't seem like an issue with the update since I also updated mine. Also very less likely its gonna be hardware issue.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Maybe the CPU is not working at its entire power. If the factory reset is not working, maybe you should go and replace the device, before it's too late. When you bought it ? If the phone have less than 30 days you should get an instant replace. Not sure that JB will help you, as the installation isn't like a "full format" of your phone
Hard reset: *2767*3855# (no warning message before formating, so type it when you're ready, also remove the sdcard if you don't want wiped too.)
Or *#*#7780#*#* - Factory data reset - Clears Google-account data, system and program settings and installed programs. system will not be deleted, and OEM programs, as well as My Documents (pictures, music, videos)
Thanks. Will get in touch with the vendor for replacement (though I'm sure he will not agree that easily) or else will do a complete reset. I'm really pissed off for spending this much for getting this device. Samsung is very serious in pushing their loyalists away!

Sometimes, there can be some errors. You know, nobody's perfect and we are all humans. After one week after I bought my phone, I found that it have sort of scratch on the screen, but looked like inside of it. It could be seen only in high light. The vendor replaced it instantly. This one is perfect. Love it and is extremely fast and I have many apps on it. Good luck!

You're a lucky dude. I did one thing. Uninstalled AVG antivirus. Will update if I see some improvement.

Check in task manager, you should have an idea about how is going bad. Also change the antivirus for Avast. Avast is much better. However I recommend without antivirus. I just scan sometimes my phone with it or lookout but never leave the antivirus installed. Is just a waste of RAM memory.
If nothing works do a full backup with Kies and do the complete factory reset.
Most of the apps will be automatically reinstalled when you add back your Google account, but you need the backup for settings and saves.

Uninstalled several apps. Removed widgets from desktops. But still same issue. One thing I'm not able to figure out is why my RAM doesn't go below ~600mb despite killing every task n cleaning cache. I guest a factory reset and ROM installation is the only way out. Thanks guys for all the tips.

Even with all the apps I have on my phone the RAM usage is around 580-640 (stupid SwiftKey using 45 mb most of time) and when I kill the apps I have 430 mb, slowly increasing til 530. Try reset, you have nothing to lose.

Ok I have an issue that seems intermittent but is annoying and drains the battery. Sometimes after receiving a text the screen will stay on and not dim down, this would not be such an issue if the text was read straight away, but if I have not heard it or been busy this becomes an issue. The only way to then get the screen to work properly, is to reboot the phone. Anyone else had this issue, if so have you found a fix. The handset is a 3uk branded handset.
you have smart stay on?

If u enabled smart stay and your ceiling lighting is directed to your phone, it will stay awake. Its not a bug just that smart stay "thinks" that you are watching it

Nope smart stay is off it was on but knocked it off a week or so ago, and now this issue has started. The phone is not rooted
What's your screen timeout set as?
Like, if you're reading a web page how long would the screen stay on if you didn't touch it?
Settings - display - screen timeout
Why don't you clear cache for messages app and badgeprovider app from application manager. Maybe they're stuck in some way.

Both caches were clear
Do you have Samsung's DriveLink app installed? There was a problem with that that caused the screen to stay on.

I am also having this message ever since I use a self modded systemui based off modded apk,
If you google around, you will find lot of information about this, I have tried all of them and none work for me lol. Some say it is normal some say it isn't. I guess it is normal for first boot when we done something or wipe caches but for every reboot, I don't think so. The phone still work the way it is though, guess have to ignore it till someone knows how to fix it?
I use a self modded framework in my P it says a huge amount of sms r being sent while booting in home screen after every reeboot..i just ignore it.

It's a simple authentication of installed apps. Happens on first time you flash stuffs/install fw/upgrade os/clear cache partition/clear dalvik cache/format system.

So I recently installed the Paranoid Android rom on my Sam S4. This rom allows hybrid properties. I can pick between tablet ui, phablet, ui and of course the normal phone ui. Eventually I started getting a failure message that said System Interface has stopped working... The problem disappeared by setting my phone on tablet ui mode. This means that the statusbar is on the bottom of the screen and some system related layouts is tinytiny..
Now I'm tired of tablet ui and want to go back, but then I start getting the fail message again. It pops up every 5 seconds so it's pretty annoying. Any idea on how to fix this? Without doing a hard reset?

Wrong section mate! First, this should be in a q&a section and second, there is a thread dedicated to this ROM in the s4 section! They will be able to help you over there

Allright! Thanks. I'll try the other forum.
