I have just posted a couple of hours ago asking why my new Cyanogenmod 10.2 rom would be freezing, and I think the problem is to do with my eMMC chip. I have one that suffers from the 'sudden death' problem.. So I've posted this in a new thread as it's kinda a different question..
Anyway, Samsung have released a fix, but I can't find any instructions ANYWHERE on how to apply it.
I've found this on the cyanogenmod wiki http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/EMMC_Bugs, but that simply links me to a github repo of the code, with no instructions on how to apply the fix.
Could someone direct me to some instructions, or talk me through how to apply the fix?
Thanks,
Luke
Firstly, Title is misleading. Second. Its not the sudden death chip tat gives u lag. I have the sds chip too and when I ran cm 10.2 I have NO LAG.

Well at the moment, I've only got the initial apps included with Cyanogenmod, and the Google Apps, which I installed through CWM..
I can't even make it into the market to download the eMMC Checker app to see if that is still the problem, as the phone freezes before I'm able to search..

I sure hope not.. Exactly this time last year my phone effectively died.. I woke up one morning and my phone was telling me that I had encryption problems (I had never done anything remotely like encryption on my phone previously), so I had to have my phone sent off, and when I got it back, they said they replaced the motherboard..

It's hard to say exactly when, but it was after having my phone sent off.. I had found that a way to fix it was to reduce the amount of free space on my internal sd card, so I got a dummy file generator app, that nearly filled the sd card, which seemed to stop the problem.. However I am not able to do that now, because the phone freezes before I'm able to search the play store..
I would ring optus (my phone carrier), however now that I've flashed a custom rom, my warranty is void, so they're not going to do anything to help me..

Ok cool, I will have a look at that..
I managed to get into the play store and download the eMMC Brickbug Check app, and it's telling me that it's still a problem, so Cyanogenmod 10.2 doesn't have the fix incorporated into it..
I would still like to find how to apply this kernel patch, as I reckon it will definitely help..
CM 10.2 does indeed have the fix incorporated, the checker only checks if you have the chip that's affected and nothing more. It will not tell you if you have a fix applied

I see.. Then that's a bit more concerning that my phone is still freezing. It doesn't do it as much now though, it seems to have 'settled', and now only freezes every now and then.. But if the fix has been applied, I don't see a reason why my phone would freeze at all :/

This should be in Q&A section.
You need to provide more details. Are you rooted? What rom you using? Perhaps try list some apps you think may be the caused.

As usual, try uninstall any apps you suspect is the caused. If problem still persist, factory reset should solve it.

UPDATE..
According to service center they need to replace my S3 main board and it will took for a while.. huhuhu. is this acceptable? my S3 is just morethan a month old i bought it last week of June do i need to demand to replace a whole unit? coz imworried about how they gonna replace the mainboard. some tech dont use hands gloves to avoid static or to avoid contaminate the parts of deivce. pleae give some advice.
I don't think they will exchange the whole unit for you even if you demand for it. Under warranty they have the right to repair only the faulty parts. Hope everything goes well the repairs.

what ROM and Kernel are you using? checked OC settings? any additional apps running in the background without your knowledge? any recent apps you have installed?

Get better battery stats from the play store, and let it run for a charge cycle.
Also turn off all the silly Samsung stuff like face awake etc etc
Does a reboot help?

Hi.
I had the same problem with one SGS3 from two I bought.
The one worked fine, but the second restart twice and more a day. I changed it in the shop. But the problem was still there. The akku was hot and after 2 hours without any input the akku was 0%.
I changed the phone the second time in the shop.
But also this device had the problems, sometimes the phone doesn't see the akku.
Then I had the idea, I looked into the device pressed the akku with my thumbnail and the akku worked.
With a little paper I fix the akku and everything is fine until today.

I am not sure this was posted or not, however if it has, please point me to the right direction as I am not able to find it.
Situation:-
Using the phone as per normal. It auto lock or manual lock it. Wanna unlock/wake up the phone it doesnt. This happened once in awhile not sure when as unable to determine the cause as sometimes running a game and I lock it and sometimes lock it without running anything i.e. back to home. To wake up, I reboot the phone by long pressing on/off button. Was using CheckRom ICS... And at one occurance the phone really died on me and unable to reboot no matter what I did. Sent in to SC and got back a new Motherboard.
Now it is happening again. Now in JB 4.1.2 (OmegaRom). The phone just fell in to a deep sleep and cant wake up unless I reboot the phone. I hope I dont get the forever slumber/sudden death situation again.
Anyone can give guidance or advise on how to check what is the matter or anyone having the same experience?
Flash back to stock and check if it occurs. If it does use triangle away and send it back in mate

I don't recall it happened to me while using stock touchwiz roms.
However, since I've moved to AOSP roms (first AOKP M1 and then JellyBam), it happened to me 3 or 4 times now.
Do you get it also on touchwiz roms? Which OmegaRom are you using?
Wich kernel are using my mates? Maybe that is problem, combination firmware and kernel...
Regards
using latest OmegaRom... as mentioned... first happened in CheckROm and even in Wanam...
Was using siyah kernel... so now testing Perseus and see wtr this happened or not...
Just happened when I have monster warlord running and locked it.. when I unlock... it happened again... must be something like not enuf ram or went into deep sleep... very strange indeed. Nevertheless change to Perseus to test out different kernel for now...

Same happened with my phone. Go to see what it's up to and suddenly its not responding. The only option is to hold power down until it reboots.
It would also do it on in coming calls and managed to delete a text which arrived shortly before it froze.
Hoped upgrading to the latest firmware would help, didn't. Going without root, nope. Freezing apps in Titanium, still no joy.
Finally this morning I had enough and went for a full wipe. Very little installed but no problems since.
Would suggest doing the same, especially if you plan to sell the phone anyway.

Have the same problem with mine, using the latest wanam stock rom and every now and again the phone will either just restart or lock with the screen off (led notification will keep blinking however).
Just trying the official Vodafone rom now through Odin. If this doesn't solve it I think the phone will have to go back.
To note: issue appeared after installing some root apps. Notably adfree and beats drivers. Anybody else have either installed?

When did it happen? Was it around Wednesday last week? Just thinking that maybe an updated app or something?
I have now updated again using kies with the official 4.1.2. I have no problems with restarts when using the stock apps. I have however had issues with the google servers and now believe this to have been the main reason for the crashes earlier (Christmas new phone activation traffic?).
Out of interest, have you been running adfree or the beats audio driver? I had mine working all day yesterday, installed both and then the hangs started coming back again.
Also worth noting that adfree now states that a newer version is available when loading up, but non exists (that i know of?)

I do run AdFree, and yeah, I saw the notice about the new version - it's a different app entirely... still called AdFree, uninstall the old one, and install the new one. Not sure why they did that.
I'm at a loss - I just reinstalled XELL4, and it's still doing it. Short of doing a full wipe and starting afresh (which I really can't be bothered with), I don't know what else to try. Was working fine up until now.
Since yesterday I am facing this problem.
Last evening the touchscreen of my phone just stopped responding. It happened so: all of the sudden the touch wouldn't respond. Pressing the power button to switch of the screen for sleep mode was not happening. The last thing I had done was pull down the notification bar so that so it was stuck there. I pressed and held the power button to restart and it worked fine. After a few hours again it happened. Restarted again. Worked. But now everytime its happening. It stops responding. I restart then it works for 2-3 minutes and stops responding and again Ihave to restart and again it stops after a couple of minutes.
I tried going into recovery mode and download mode and it enter and it charges properly also.
Also, last night I switched the phone off and I left it on charge annotd today morning when I switched it on the problem is still there.
please help me out
My galaxy s3 is rooted and its running on stock rom 4.1.2 and siryah kernel.
Is it a hardware problem or software? What can be done?

Its not 4.2 It's 4.1.2 Using the official one. And I have been using the siyah kernel for over a month now. Never seemed to cause a problem and never updated anything.
And no I didnt take out the battery. I just kept it switched off. Anyway I will do that too now.

Should I flash stock firmwire then try rooting it again and then flash the kernel?
The thing is I used to use my phone while on charge. A friend says the circuits must have gone haywire but this doesn't seems like a hardware problem.
R: HELP! S3 touchscreen not responding.

If u use your phone while on charge that only harms the battery (it will make it last less...but it is inevitable anyways who dooesnt use phone whike on charge)...
What would be the very best option would be to factory reset through recovery (u have clockworkmod right?) (U can save apps with titanium backup) and flash a new rom and THEN a new kernel.
If you flash foxhound it comes with kernel already backed.
BUT before doing this (nobody likes to start off fresh) just try flashing another kernel first(or try and get an updated version of siyah kernel, maybe you got the s2 variant, which has a higher build version than the s3, making it look obsolete).

How come you don't have warranty in sgs3? It is not even 1 year old since first release

format it, try a different one, flash a stock ROM. if none of that helps, replace the sdcard slot

I think I would hv to visit samsung care as it is in guarantee period
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
yeah, but make sure it's a hardware issue first
Your SD is crap, try another or use Perseus (It have timeout increased)
change the rom, if your SD is crap, remove it and buy a high performance one, change rom to stock to see the diffrence if the problem persists...

Some other forums around with same issue guarantees its not an hardware issue
So lets hope for the best as I dont wanna give it to samsung care because I hv heard that they put local parts sometimes

well, this has happened to me after I dropped the phone - so I swapped the slot. so it might be hardware after all, the chance is small though

What card are you using and is it backed up. This may just be a one off, but it could be a sign that your card is on the verge of failing, classic sign of failure with SanDisk cards, whatever back it up and hope.
