[Q] Google Search very inconsistent - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Just wondering if anyone else has this problem... sometimes when I load up Google Search (usually from the widget) it will just sit there and not do anything... the circle thing will spin, but no data will be coming through and nothing happens. I can restart the phone and it usually start working like normal, but eventually it will do it again. I've tried uninstalling updates, clearing cache, etc but it just seems to be a fact of life. Anyone have a solution to this? I don't want to always have to open Chrome to do Google searches honestly.

I don't know of a fix, but this happens to me as well from time to time.

Also happens to me. Thought it was a slow connection but happens on WiFi as well

I remember seeing it mentioned on Reddit awhile back and ozne commenter said that it is a service issue (with Google), and not the device.
Not sure if this is true or not.

Google Talk

Ive tried researching this but I have came up empty handed. It appears once my screen is off google talk is logged out. How do I keep google talk always logged in?
Thanks for any help!

I really hope this isnt a wide spread thing. I use Google talk heavily. I cant afford for it to disconnect upon my screen timing out. I havent used it since I activated my phone to test though.
Maybe check under the power saver option in settings. There is an option to turn off background data when the screen turns off. Maybe that's it?

I will try that setting out and report back

Just uncheck auto away status and it will stop logging out.

Is anyone else having an issue where google talk won't load for them? I touch the icon and it looks like it loads for a second then flashes back to the app drawer. I tried clearing the application data, didn't help, and of course I can't uninstall/reinstall

Yup, I have to restart the phone to get it working. I also notice that Restart does NOT restart the phone for me. It powers it down.

I have both of those exact same problems. Hopefully, the next software update will fix these issues.

Why is my GS3 being slugish ? Im gonna break this phone in half I swear!!!!!!

Ive had GT-I9300 model for several weeks now. Got it from Expansys. Didnt really notice this problem up until 1-2 weeks ago and its been happening alot throughout the day. I even tried factory reset and the problem is still present. Im talking about apps force closing alot. If im on facebook and im multi tasking or just using facebook app trying to view pics etc the app will lag and it will force close..sometimes this gets so bad that phone restarts on its own...it def. doesnt feel like quadcore at all.. the whole phone is just very slugish. What can I do here. Thinking about selling it and get gnex if this continues to happen without any solution.

Many apps force close. Yes i tried factory reset
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
mind mentioning the app name that force closes.? try updating the apps to latest version or try different apps for the purpose.
if you are still not satisfied with performance and going to break it anyway then please courier it to me

So you would blame GSIII if rogue apps from market FC? You should even mention the app names as bala said and whether you have restored data? This kind of half baked question will never get a proper answer
If you search the forums properly you will find alot of threads with advices how to remove the said sluggishness from your s3 via turning off certain settings like s voice and also heed the previous poster's warning about rogue apps.
When i turned off alot of unnecessary settings the lag came off and i can listen to music while playing HD games while having my facebook on the background.

Random browser fc

The last two days this has been happening to me also. Very frustrating for sure. I went in to my settings in the app section and cleared cache and data. It appears briefly to have helped.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda premium
Yeah has been doing it also I'm stock unrooted so I hope this prompt LG to push JB out this month
That happened to me yesterday and the day before. I use Dolphin browser though. It started happening after I used the fast dormancy toggle .apk. But it's probably just a coincidence.

Network Spoofer Problem

I used this on my wifi, and the spoofs won't go away! I have force stopped the app, restarted my phone, deleted the app, disconnected my phone from from the wifi, and reset the router, all to no avail. Help please, my dad is very angry at me!

Try clearing the app data and if the problem persists you have to factory reset the phone.
Sent from my GT-I9100G using xda premium
I mean as in the spoofs are still on the wifi, like it's broadcasting to every device, does that mean there is still something buried in my phone that is transmitting it?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Problem fixed! I re-downloaded the spoofer, started the spoofs again, and then stopped them. Guess the script hadn't been fully stopped.

Thank you so much! I've done what you did, i was sweating when i was troubleshooting this
problem, my cousin would punch straight to my face if he experienced that spoof.
Now i am afraid to/ spoofing again, My fault although, my cousin/administrator don't know about this
although i did follow the instruction and known those risks about this app until i applied it, the problem/bug maybe
got me sweat alot. Thanks topgun_iceman, you made me regestered here.

No issues whatsoever.
Must be one of the lucky ones

YouTube has been playing up on me since 4.3.
Plays half a video then spaz's out and restarts the video.
Only way ive found to fix is clear data and reinstall the updates!
Pain in the ass.
Apart from that....all good in the hood.

Glad to hear you've only got a minor problem
Some people have it so bad
Lets hope when a fix or 4.4 comes out it becomes even better

Do you have recovery installed? If yes, wipe cache and dalvik.
Well for me I had a massive problem where trying to play certain videos on the stock movies app would stuff up and the app would freeze.
I had to wait it out for it to crash but after that, YouTube wouldn't open, Facebook wouldn't and a few other apps wouldn't either. But to fix it, just restarted the phone but the stock movie app was still not working so I just had to download MX Player and use that instead

Yeah, I think it's more the videos that stuffed up but now it made my whole movies app messed up, I haven't touched it ever since though so I guess it could have fixed itself?
The videos wouldn't play through MX Player either. But I can live without those videos lol

I don't have any of these. I upgraded from rooted .257 to .290 using @[NUT]'s method, and everything works perfectly. On top of that, using this method you don't even lose your data.

Can anyone tell me if there are any additional Screen Mirroring options under Xperia Connectivity in settings in 4.3 as compared with 4.2*?
What's there Already? Let me know and I'll tell you

Thanks.
Under the Xperia Connectivity option - there is an option called 'Screen mirroring'.
When you click on that, the only option after that is 'Turn on Screen mirroring' and when you press that it comes up with a prompt saying to make sure the output device is ready to connect and it starts searching.
In my case, it finds my Samsung Smart TV once I enable screen mirroring on the TV - but when it starts connecting, it says connected for a second and then a prompt comes up on both screens saying that the screen mirroring has ended - the connection never gets established.
Not that big of a deal, but anyone on 4.3 experiencing camera error once in a while, and then if you just re open camera, it'll work again?
