So I downloaded Asphalt 8 just today and I have this bad problem, when I launch the game and minimize it whenever, I can hear the speaker still hissing, and never stopping, while most games you minimize and the speaker turns off after 2 seconds. This app keeps the speaker on, also keeps the phone awake, and drains the battery.
Anybody experiencing the same issue?
Might want to contact the developer on that. In the mean time you can just force close the app (right next to uninstall).

Closing it from the multitasker works just fine, but it's still quite annoying. I very often close all of the opened apps, and I was just thinking about doing it less often, but this changes everything.
Can anyone confirm on having the same issue? Or is it only me?
This issue is really bad, as the battery drain is increased by twice as much if you have speaker on and phone is prevented from sleeping.
I NEED to know, because it's either the app, or bad combination of apps I have on my Phone + Games. I have a Nexus 4.
I also have this with Need For Speed Most Wanted, haven't had this with any other games.

OK - I'm starting to think I'm the only person that has this issue as I haven't seen it reported..
Sometimes, my Photon won't launch apps. Apps that are already running continue to run and I can switch back and forth between them, but trying to start a new app, it just doesn't start! Fix has been to either reboot, or have it go to sleep and wake it up 15 minutes later and try again. I've had it do this while a system task manager was running, so could see that there was plenty of free memory (RAM) available..
This includes launching apps from apps that are already running. i.e. - sometimes the browser doesn't launch from a search query. (mostly though pressing an icon on the STOCK launcher doesn't launch it..)
Anyone else see this?

Yeah mine seems to do it every once in a while too. I noticed that if you open the task manager and kill the market then whatever app your trying to open will end up opening up right after the market closes.

One of the reasons, I took mine back to the Sprint Store. When they fix it, I may buy it again... otherwise, my OG Evo is perfectly fine.
I can't believe more people aren't experiencing this. I do have LauncherPro installed but I don't think that's the reason. I can recreate this all the time. After installing an app through Market, I randomly can't open apps from the home screen.
Nothing happens unless I force close the Marketplace.
Any input on this?

The new market is absolute crap in my opinion, way to many FC's with it and it just doesn't do what it needs to. If I can go faster than it can download, select, etc then it needs to be reworked, also I get a lot of packet errors, have to download apps two or three times just to get it to install.. Great idea but it needs a patch bad!
I wouldn't see why this is a reason to take the Photon back and go back to an Evo, I mean the Evo is a cool phone but the hardware on it is sub par compared to this phone. I used to have one, and it doesn't even hold a candle. But to each their own.

I have only had this happen a few times I was told that it is associated with the battery manager settings if you don't use performance it can cause issues that was what was causing the muted audio issues the battery management settings put it on performance and I don't see the issue.

I just noticed my battery mode was set to Nighttime Saver. Hadn't even looked at this option. I went ahead and changed it to Performance Mode and will see if it happens again.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Mine does it too. After the update that just came out it seems to do it less now.
Just started having this issue today. App launches and others won't launch unless you kill the "hanging" app or the market.
I have no idea if this is a bug in blur or some kind of hardware defect (memory). It seems to be a software issue.
Problem persists after complete hard reset and app cache clear.
I'm using an 8 GB Samsung class 2 microSD card (from old Evo 4G). It has been reformatted.
Other symptoms: Back button and select widgets become unresponsive.
App count at time problem started: 72
yeah i have the same issues. not sure how to fix it. Usually a reboot does it but man i hate to reboot it all the time.
Could you list any changes, apps, app counts, microSD card, or settings your Photon has?
Mine is working smoothly after redoing my Photon for the 2nd time, reformating the microSD card via the phone, keeping my App count below 70, setting the Battery mode to Performance, and not installing Bump or Sensorly.
Still trying to narrow down the issue but it's looking like it's software related.
still happening
Is this problem still happening to anyone's phone?? It's starting to get really annoying, I tried a hard reset twice on two different photons and the problem's still occurring.
I fixed this by installing the automemory manager. Details in my thread called lag be gone.

Hello Proud GS3 owners,
I have been loving the phone so far. However I have had a couple of problems. Haven't rooted the phone so far. Just so that you know. Also its my first android so forgive me for any noobishness
The problems i have been facing are :
1. When I use FB for sync in accounts and sync it has the option to sync calendar and gallery. However the calendar doesn't sync. I have tried to unsync and resync it and all other basic steps that I could possibly think of but it doesn't help.
2. This is a bit unusual (Given the phones top specs) but sometimes I have noticed that the phone starts lagging specially when its hot after using it at a stretch. I make it a point to keep closing the apps running in the background but it still lags. Its fine after a few minutes when the phone isn't hot anymore or when it has not been used extensively. What am I doing wrong? Also just to add Nova 3 isn't t as smooth as I have seen it in the videos on youtube. Could it be a hardware issue?
3. This is the one which really bugs me the other two are no biggies. My apps keep redrawing/refreshing when i open them after minimizing. So if I have a game that i am playing and I decide to use the stopwatch and browse I minimize the game using the home key not the back key. Start the stopwatch. Start browsing. Then I return back and when I open the browser the page reloads itself. Also stopwatch resets itself completely which is a pain in the rear. I am using the stock browser.
Also have tried resetting the phone back to factory default and took the phone to samsung and I believe they flashed the stock ROM but all the above issues have not been fixed.
Any help would be extremely appreciated

3rd one is bad software optimization, there is a fix in the development section for Samsung JB based roms, it will let you multitask 7+ apps.
Second problem, you say the phone is hot when it happens? maybe the CPU got hot too and is throttling down, are you sure powersaving mode is off?
First problem, Facebook for android was really bad, it started improving but facebook developers are dumb, try third party apps like friendcaster.
I agree the facebook app isn't great. However it concerns me when my friend who has the same version of GS3 can get his calendar to sync without using any 3rd party app and I cannot. But I will give a 3rd party app a shot.
I will be searching for the thread you mentioned and try to tweak the settings and see how it goes
I am not really sure what can be done as far as the second issue is concerned. Also as I mentioned earlier I hate it when I play a top notch game like NOVA 3 but it isn't as smooth as expected. Other games like fifa 12, Dead trigger hold up fine.
Thanks for the suggestions though
[Edit] : Yes I do make sure power saving is off as I am aware it slows down the CPU and there is a considerable lag specially when scrolling pages on the home screen or the app drawer which I do not like. It does improve the battery life to a certain extent but I cannot complain if I get a battery life of around 10-12 hours which includes 3 hours of screen time with pretty heavy usage while having the power saving mode off

Hi all,
Made the jump from iphone to S3, and am happy, theres just afew niggles i need to sort out to be 100% happy
1) my music will just pause for no apparent reason, i have switched off all the motion gubbins, tried lots of players, but they all just randomly pause,. Sometimes its 2 seconds after i press play, other times i get to listen to a few songs. My music is what keeps me going, so i need to fix this otherwise i may have to jump back to the iphone 5. I have sesrched the interweb, and tried all the fixes, nothing does it for me
2) is there anyway to get rid of all the stock samsung gubbins, its eating my memory. A nice clean nexus 7 style woukd be good. Im regularly at max ram, causing jerkyness. What am i doing wrong.?
I think those are the two key things i would like to fix......
Anyone have any idea???
One last question, is there anyway to see what services i have disabled easily?
Ta all!

First of all, I really like this phone, but this is driving me nuts.
This has happened to me twice. The first time was when I was setting the phone up, so there was not data or apps on it. The phone just kind of freezes, like something is spiking the CPU. Keyboard input stops. The keys make noise like they're being tapped, but nothing shows up on the screen. When it gets like this, I can't even call up the multitasking menu sometimes. When I do and call up task manager, nothing is really hitting the CPU hard enough to cause it.
Restarting the phone obviously fixes it, but that's not going to happen. If this is going to be a regular thing, the phone is going back. I can live with the 30 second notification light thing, but this is something else entirely.
I tried switching keyboards, closing all apps, etc. Nothing works. It's like there's a huge memory leak or some process runs out of control.
Anyone else seen this issue or know what causes it? I searched here and on Google and I don't see anyone else talking about it.
Do you by chance have a flashlight app installed. If so install and see if it keeps happening.

I haven't had a single issue since uninstalling the Flashlight app. I'm not sure how you knew that, but thanks.
I wonder if there are any safe flashlight apps on the market. It actually came in handy.
I had problems with TeslaLED, so I switched to "Tiny Flashlight + LED" and have had no issues since.

I don't have a flashlight app, yet this happens to me. The ONLY time it does happen to me is when I'm using the stock mail app. I just changed mail apps to see if it continues.

My N9 freezes in about 2 minutes every time I've done a reboot. I recently updated Nova beta and the usual updates in the Play Store. How can I discover what (app) is causing this?

I would recommend flashing the factory image and seeing if you still have the problem. If you do it's time to rma the device.

If you have root, you can use System Tuner (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.pmw) to prevent apps from auto-starting on boot (watch the video on the app page).

There is a safe mode. Hold power button, then hold power off, then press OK. After reboot only original Google apps are started. Does your N9 run normal trying this?
NEXUS 9 Freezing too
I too am having problems with the screen freezing too. Only way out is to force a reboot by holding the power button. Image on screen becomes garbled, and if sound is playing at the time of freeze, a loud time is continuously heard. Occurs almost exclusively while using graphic intensive apps, and after extended periods of use. Also, usually feels warm/hot too the touch on the device back near the camera's corner. Has occurred while running stock 5.0.2, and while running Dirty Unicorns 5.0.2 with Elemental X Kernel. Has only been occurring over the past 2 weeks or so, and it didn't correspond to any OTA'S or similar system change. Any thoughts would be appreciated. I am now trying to see if underclocking the CPU/GPU help prevent this, and turned on Elemental X's Thermal Throttling in case over heating is the issue.
My Nexus freezes at least once per day, and lags, and automatically reboots at least once per week. Glad 5.1 will be rolled out soon to us. I hope it fixes all these issues.
mine has stutters all day - used stock and AICP and happens on both. it's almost always when using chrome. the quickest way to get the screen active again is to swipe down on the nav bar.
Yep Chrome is where I get my freezes. Happens on my N5 too. Might just be Chrome or maybe Adaway?

Use Chrome beta, the normal Chrome behaves oddly outside of the Windows version. I disabled Chrome on my Nexus 4 as well after giving it L.
