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

Hi,
First, give me your firmware number. Tape *#1234# on your phone dialler. Is it a custom ROM ?

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?

Where have i mentioned to root? I don't say root.
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.

I flashed the Aokp ROM on my xperia U and got some interesting results. On flashing the non-play version the notification bar was missing and a lot of things were clearly broken. And on flashing the play version the phone now detects an external mouse or something. First I thought some accessibility feature had gotten turned on. I checked and nothing. The touch still works but a stupid pointer shows up on the display which I can navigate around with. But typings a pain and I could really use any suggestions anyone might have.
One of the reasons I think it has something to do with the external mouse thing is that the pointer gets affected by the pointer speed settings in the language and input tab!.

Reflash stock fw. This always help. But don't flash this Rom again because there will be same problems. Just flash other Rom.

Hello all Galaxy S3 owners !
I am totally desperate about my phone. IN fact im almost crying.
My problem is simple, trivial, stupid. Yet its totally affecting my work with phone.
I can´t delete home screens in Touchwiz.
Yes thats right, when i zoom out to manage home screens, and i tap and hold to move the homescreen to the delete bar- it just freezes at the first touch with the bar and bam. Touchwiz has stopped, it will restart, and that homescreen is still there.
Pretty simple, huh? Yeah, but well the point is, i have done around 4 factory resets and that problem is still there. When im done setting up the phone, its working good. But the first time i will restart it, i cant delete any home screen again.
Please for the love of god, help me.
What firmware .What phone missing information .

You need to make sure that transition scale is not off in developer options.
A quick search should have picked that up.

You need to reboot after changing those settings..
If that didnt work then factory reset. This will wipe your settings and internal memory.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Well that firmware is not for my region and its functions is totally same as in XXELLA, so i guess its alright
And yes, when i came back home now, i was experimenting a little and rebooted up too. Yes, this enabling of animations solved the issue. Animation scale to 1.
God how i hate them, that phone aint that fast now.. Well at least i know whats the cause of it
THANKS !
So there is a way to do it on 4.1.1 with guides. Anyone have luck with 4.1.2? I'd like to be able to do it on touch wiz and not have to use aosp
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Doubt it. It'd likely be a mess of errors and force closing.
Yeah the stuff doesn't work on 4.1.2 it bootloops. But ahhhh it just looks so much better then stock. And even 240dpi
Is 240 dpi the lowest you can run before systemui crashes and phone won't work?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I believe I tried 160 and 320 on Beans 10. It was a little annoying to set up DPI on various apps so I put it on the back burner for now.

Not sure if this will be of any help, as it is for the nexus 7. But someone with a little know how might be able to put this guide to use.

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?
