Hi, I have just purchased my new s3 2 days ago and I'm loving it.. Until now. It is a rooted s3 32gb running cm 10.1.3 stable.
Here's the problem, out of nowhere my s3 touch screen started playing up. The input lag is far greater than it was before and my keyboard has become really sluggish and slow. Also, the touchscreen will also do weird things like if I try and click on an app it flips to the next app page instead. I've tried different kernels, killed apps and fully optimised my device to 100% yet it's still the same. I even reflashed my room but still no change.
The strange thing is that the device still performs tasks flawlessly with no problems, it's just the touchscreen input that isn't doing what it should.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance!

Just fixed the issue after 5h of trial and error, it was caused by having magnification gestures on in the settings menu lol :/

^ This. Contact the devs.
Only 1 so far I have found that does not work is SPD Shell 3D. Says it has ICS support but no go on my prime. Already e-mailed the dev.
App support will require some ICS loving to be applied to the apps, and even though ICS is consistent throughout both phones and tablets they may still have to make tegra 3 and tablet customizations to their ICS variant. Since that was only released 8 hours ago give it a little time.
Has anyone had problems charging after update? Mine doesn't seem to charge ...

For me it takes a minute or two to get to HD res, but it gets there eventually.

That is not, and has never been, a native feature of Android. It's only available in custom roms.

I believe that is an ICS problem with the way ICS reports screen res or something. It is a known issue with Swype and hopefully a beta will be available by the end of the month to address it..

Hi guys
I've been using my s3 for 2 days and I'm so pleased to back to android
The overall performance is great like iphone smooth. However, sometimes three is a refresh delay after using the browser and flipboard for a while.
Do you guys have same problem?
I'm just wondering If it's a just bug.
One more!
Wifi is not working at times as well. Whenever I use some specific apps it loads so slow.
Is it a faulty device or just some bug??

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?

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.

Hi guys, just like the title says, this is my problem.. when I open Camera app or turn on Torch, something near camera lens starts to vibrate and I have to bang it. I'm running CM 9.1 (aosp camera app) and Chameleon 1.3 (stock sammy app). At first I thougt it is caused by the CM, but why also on Chameleon ? Will this problen disappear if I flash original stock firmware ? I wasn't experiencing this before I started to play with flashing so I hope the phone is not damaged in any way..
thanks

Haven't found any answers. It also seems to get extremely hot.

I have noticed.when.the.torch.is. on if i have the screen facing down it vibrates constantly almost every time.
The moving part is the focus module of the camera.
It, however, should only move for a short time.
It usually only clicks for me.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
It vibrates until i bang the phone gently on my hand. When vibrating the camera gets extremely hot
I think this is a hardware fault as it has been like this since i got the phone in november 2011, i have tried pretty much every kernel/rom/modem out there. So i know it is not software related. Unless it is canera firmware? I have updated this too.
Edit:
Since i have had the phone it has never vibrated like this whilst using the camera for pictures.
Always when i use the torch. 90percent of the time when i face the screen down with the torch on, it has rarely done it with the torch facing down.

OK guys my problem is my WiFi is retardedly slow. I have been using omega ROM and everything was fine it seemed my WiFi was faster when I turned off power save mode. I have just installed resurection remix and I love it its amazing except the WiFi being slow as hell and obviously I can't do the power save mode thing. Is there anything I can do to make my WiFi work normally? Oh and I have never had a problem with it dropping out.

In honesty it only seems to be anything to do with xda, the xda app/tapatalk/xda on browser and sometimes YouTube lags a bit. I have tried clearing the data or everything and tried uninstalling/reinstalling the xda stuff but it just doesn't load quickly I have to have five or six attempts to get it too load.

it can be a bit slow sometimes, using a browser it may be due to adblocker, but also remember it a very active site with a lot of traffic sometimes
Remember only one thread, OP.
Sorry about the two threads like I say it takes ages to load the app and YouTube on AOKP and aosp but when I use the touchwiz based roms and I am able to turn off WiFi power save mode it works flawlessly, only problem is I'm not keen on touchwiz I really like this ROM and would love to keep using it but unless I can get this issue fixed I don't think I'm gonna be able to.

Ah never mind i have gone back to Omega's rom as it seems to be the best touch wiz rom. Hopefully i will be able to use aokp or aosp soon without WiFi issues. Thanks for everyone that tried to help though

You have to go back to ICS before going to any AOSP ROM.
Do I have to go to stock ICS or any custom one? And will that make my WiFi speed normal?

Any custom one will work as long as it is ICS and it should fix any probs you are having.
