I've been getting too many force closes with my S3... It happens with many apps and sometimes it just gets stuck for like two minutes which I can't do anything until it comes back. Have you guys had any issues? I don't know weather to take it back or do a factory data reset...

Sounds like something you installed is causing it. Factory reset it. Force Closes are typically software related.
Its happened to me a couple of times as well on the gallery and tapatalk 2 app. It is few and far between so it doesn't affect me too much.

OK. I'm going to delete some apps that I don't use and restart. Maybe it's one of those... If not, I'll factory reset it.

If you have tried installing backups from a different rom or phone. That may be an issue too

I currently get on XDA through my app right now...just searching for a thread listing forever...and if I hit the profile option it force closes.
Worked fine for the last week but nothing now!
Happens to me a lot when running touchwiz launcher I am now using apex and have had zero crashes. Although with android its like windows you will get force close just like windows gets blue screens its just one feature of owning an android phone but it rocks.

I used to have this problem on my OG Incredible, (haven't yet had it on my S3) and I would usually solve it by uninstalling/re-installing or clearing data on the apps that would force close. If every app is FCing though then it may just be easier to Factory Reset.

i fixed mine by freezing stock browser with titanium backup and using Google chrome. That fixed the issue immediately

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.
How to factory reset
http://www.jayceooi.com/2012/06/08/how-to-hard-reset-samsung-galaxy-s3/
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?

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!

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.

So maybe this is normal but it seems odd to me.
Whenever I Connect to Wifi what looks like a app opens. But instead of a app it's just a black screen that opens and then goes away. It's very weird.. Anyone else experience thus?
Also I checked my running apps and don't see anything odd.
Sent from my SM-N900P using Tapatalk
That certainly does sound strange. I don't experience anything like that... (goes to double check...)
So, no. Nothing like that. I'm on stock, rooted, no knox, connection optimizer turned off.
What about you?
When did this start happening?
Install any new apps lately? Sideload anything?

Hello, All!
I received an S4 as a gift two days ago for my birthday (MK2 build), and immediately rooted it. Annoyed with the ridiculous amount of bloatware on the device, I took it upon myself to begin deleting unwanted apps via Titanium Backup. I didn't think I uninstalled anything that I needed,I tried to stick to just the Samsung, Verizon and Amazon apps, but can't remember everything I uninstalled. Initially, I didn't notice any negative effects of my actions. That is, until I went to open up my gallery, Which freezes the phone for two seconds, then gives me the "Gallery has stopped" message. As for the camera, when I open it, it stalls, then opens. But when it opens, I can still see some of my other app icons around the border, and the camera itself, although open, doesn't work at all.
Any suggestions? What did I uninstall? I assume this can be fixed?
Thank you in advance,
Matt

I also installed a few mods void Xposed, which I tried to attach a screenshot of, but I can't because of my gallery situation. But I'm almost positive it has nothing to do with any of those.

Indeed I did. I ended up getting my Odin on. At which point, I reactivated my Xposed Modules. After doing this, my camera and gallery took a dump again. So I narrowed it down to the mods (not sure which one, I just deactivated all), opposed to getting crazy with my uninstalling in Titanium backup. Thanks for the responses, fellas.

For anybody interested, I just narrowed it down, and found the culprit. It was a module called Swipeback in Xposed.

Had this happen to me, it was my SD card. Our phones require Class 3 or higher.

Interesting. I wouldn't have thought of that. My card is a class 10, but I'll keep that in mind for future issues while helping others. Thank you for the response.

When I got the phone ~9 months ago and rotation worked. I flashed CM13 and rotation stopped working. I figured it was the rom. It was annoying having to manually rotate photos and had to find a 3rd party program to rotate video... but I lived with it. But now I need it to actually work.
Flashed the new PE1 stock rom Friday. Rotation worked. But I had a few issues that ended up having me start over again. Then it stopped working.
Now after multiple multiple reflashes, factory wipes, complete wipes of system and all, flashing over and over, looking up and finding a ton of 'fixes' that I have tried. I still can't get it to work.
As it sits right now, it is the 100% stock flash from sammoble. Stock bootloader and all. Not rooted. Nothing fancy going on at all. And it doesn't work.
*#0*# shows the gyroscope as constantly reading all zeros.

I've done everything I could find to try. Recalibration was on that list. As was slamming the phone around.
All three sensor axis read zero all the time.
