Hi everbody,
A couple weeks after the big update to 4.3 my S3 started to reboot during the updating of apps from Google Play, but when I don't update it runs stable and doesn't reboot. At first I thought it was a bad update from the third party app (so not google play app itself). But know it seems the problem isn't the updates but rather my phone.
I saw one other topic on the internet about the same problem and the answer there was reset to factory settings. I don't want to do that, cause I still have warranty on my phone and don't like to root it so I can make a full back-up.
Does somebody know a different way to clear the problem?
Thanks in advance
What on earth has factory reset to do with root or warranty ???
A factory reset just restores to out of the box state wiping all data .
Try clearing data and cache in Google Play via applications manger .

Well, as you say a reset wipes all data, so you'd want to make a back-up, a full back-up, and for a full-backup a root is required, or not?
I wiped the data and cache of the play store app but it still reboots.

Something strange happened to my S3 after a simple reboot I noticed that some app have been removed so I decided to clean my phone on the way.
I made a full wipe + everything you can think of to clean, delete, format the phone but after I install the rom I can still see my apps in the application manager and I can't get rid of them even if I uninstall them through the application manager the come back after a restart.
I tried 2 different roms but it happens on both of them, both are xxDLIB .
How to fix that?
pls help me

Try the SuperWipe from "Android Revolution HD" here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1797334
Be careful, this will erase everything that is not on your external SD-card. Read the instruction first.

Are the apps system apps perchance? A wipe of data WILL wipe all user installed apps, the full wipe script alluded to doesn't do anything that you can't do manually from recovery.

Sure the apps aren't part of the ROM. Depends on what the dev has cooked into it.
Sure you're doing a full wipe vs wiping caches only.
Could also be syncing to your Google account meaning when you launch play store it automatically detects your market links and reinstalls previously installed apps

CWM Recovery mounts and storage FORMAT system cache data and preload .
That fails wipe internal sd card .

explanation
I think I didn't explained my self right, these apps are "user" apps downloaded from Play store.
things I did before installing the rom:
1. factory reset from setting.
from cwm:
2. wipe data/factory reset
3. wipe cache partition
4. wipe dalvik-cache
5. wipe battery stats
5. format /cache
/system
/data
/preload
/sdcard
* also I removed the external sd.
but still I have these app "ghosts"
Then i suggest as per previous replies to the same question you are auto downloading from Google play after installing a rom .

I disabled wifi/data and sync when it ask for a wifi connection (at the openning screen of the new rom) so there is no way it somehow sync with play store.
you can see below what I mean by saying "ghosts"

Clean Rom Install
Many people don't exactly know what a Data Wipe / Factory reset is. NO it does not delete "all" your data on Internal SD-Card. It Deletes all you user data and settings and stuff, like it says it formats "system". For Example if you Full wipe you loose Whatsapp, but the Whatsapp folder on your internal SD-Card remains untouched, that means you can restore your Conversations with ease. This means you can cause a huge mess on your internal SD-Card over time. This is my way how to do a CLEAN install. Doing this prevents many unwanted issues like Bootloops, FC's and all those other nasty laggy ****.
1. Put new rom on EXTERNAL SD Card (if slot available)
2. Data Wipe / Factory Reset
3. Wipe Cache
4. Wipe Dalvik Cache
5. Format Internal SD card
6. Install Rom and enjoy
Keeping your personal Data on your external SD-Card is a good idea (pics, music, vids , docs ...)
[You can do this even if you don't have an ext. SD-Slot. After "cleaning" your device mount USB-Storage in CWM Recoery and you can connect to pc and pull over your rom. ]
And this is probably one of the best ways to do a clean install without aditional Scripts like superwipe or other "flashy" stuff. (DO NOT USE THOSE SCRIPTS UNLESS THEY ARE IN AN INSTALLATION GUIDE)
One addition to above format/preload as well .

I am facing a strange issue in my GT-I9300 Baseband:I9300XXELLA, Build:JZO54K.I9300XXELLB after a software upgrade from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2. with the exception of some apps like watsapp and default system apps, messaging dialer etc etc. system vibration intensity settings do not work, they are max always.. like when ever i get msg or call on viber it vibrates with full intensity,irrespective of my phones vibration intensity settings. similarly if i use dialerone dialpad haptic feedback is operational, although its disabled. skype vibrates with full intensity also.. so on.. so here is wat i have done so far.. i was able to resolve the issue by downgrading to 4.1.1. but i think 4.1.2 feel lighter and faster.. i have tried re upgrading to 4.1.2 and reinstalling fresh apps.. (not restoring).. wiped cache and user data via power+homekey+ volume up button menu... nothing seem to work on 4.1.2.. so i was hoping if any of you folks could help me out.. it will be better if someone who knows where these system vibration controls reside and how can i reset them, to clean things which could be messing with vibration controls, answers me..
These are app problems not the phones problem.Can be caused by the restoreing of the data that the app has.Try booting to recovery and wipeing cache partition and dalvik cache and then go to advanced and fix permissions and reboot.Should clear up all bad data.

Sure mate. If you boot to recovery you can wipe cache.To wipe data for each app one by one if you want you can do it in settings/application manager then select the app and wipe data if you know what app is causing the problem. For dalvik you will need root unless you can find a file manager from the play store that will do it.This can be a common problem when restoring data.That's why people root their phones to get this type of wipe access.It also allows a proper restore without data problems.

but dude i have wiped everything other than dalvik cache.. only downgrading to 4.1.1 solves the problem.. but i want 4.1.2 cuz its faster...btw what do u mean by advanced options and fixing permissions? how can i do that... just to clarify again.. i have tried even manual fresh install of the apps after the upgrade and wiping cache's n user data....
Those extra settings you get when you root and install a custom recovery.They aren't available in the stock recovery.upgrading to 4.1.2 and restoring apps with data from 4.1.1 is obviously the problem seeing as they are different firmwares.it can be done though with root and a custom recovery.

i rooted the phone. wiped cache, user data, dalvik and fixed permissions...all useless.. system vibration intensity level fail to override third party software's..haptic feedback and alert vibrations alert with full intensity... any other suggestion ?
It would have most probably not have happened if your phone was rooted in the first place.Then you make a backup of your apps + data with Titanium Backup.Its the best there is for this type of thing.Then when you flash the 4.1.2 (if its via kies you need to root again cos you loose it and if its via Odin its full wipe so you root and download Titanium first) you go to TB select the restore option and select "let me choose" and the phone will do it properly for you.
When dowmloading TB on a new firmware after a full wipe you will get a prompt asking to keep or accept the new android ID.Always restore the old one so you dont have problems with old backups and data.
Fixing these things before root is more difficult cos you already have the data backup.You may need to full wipe back to stock then root and try again.It depends on you if you want to try it installing some apps without data.Some like viber and FB dont need data for example as you can just sign back in.If you dont want to loose games data the just instll them.Viber,line,FB,WhatsApp can just be re-signed in and set up.
Seeing as they are the ones causing vibration errors then dont restore their data.

i even tried that.no restoration from backup options.. (zero third party apps after upgrading to 4.1.2)..the moment i installed any third party app the issue came back again..n its for all the apps.. except the "watsapp".. i dnt knw y not watsapp ! i dont think its the problem with apps.. the interesting thing is.. if i create a keis backup from 4.1.2 along with the 3rd party apps,, after downgrading to 4.1.1 and restoring the backup from 4.1.2 does not create any problem..all settings seem to work fine as far as i am on 4.1.1..i think its the problem with OS which is unable to override its current notification/alert settings for 3rd party apps, instead it keeps them to max vibrations!..
If you upgraded via kies it may be that something didnt go completely right.You could always flash the same firmware or a 4.1.2 firmware for another region via Odin to see what happens.Also there are custom ROMs which take out all of these bugs that stock firmwares can sometimes have.
I can confirm an oddness with haptic feedback in 4.1.2 when compared to 4.1.1.
Seems like it's somewhat more intense in general.
In apps, such as emulators, that have the option to have vibration when pressing a button the intensity is too high, clearly not the one I have in my settings, which was at lowest.
Even if you disable it it'll be on when dragging icons etc.
I upgraded from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2 via Kies and did full reset to no avail.
My region update is Portugal and build JZO54K.I9300XXELLA. Other regions such as Nordic countries XXELL4 makes no difference, so I guess we'll have to wait for a fix.

Never come across any tool or user that wants to delete data like that .

If you clear /data you erase all the apps, including the one performing the erase task.
What you want is impossible or you didn't express yourself clearly.
You can clear app cache easily from settings menu.
For the rest you need to be rooted and a custom recovery.

Hello guys,
I need little help. I have rooted my phone as per instructions on youtube and upgraded to 4.2.2. but due to some reasons the OS keeps crashing on me. Also when i run root checker it says root access denied.
Now, I wish to factory reset the phone so that i can try rooting it again. Can anyone tell me how to do factory reset using CWM and will it wipe google play and stuff? I am ok with loosing data on SD card, its just songs and videos.
Pls help guys.
- Pinak
Bro, u need not factory reset your phone in order to root it. And if its saying root access is denied it means your phone is not rooted. U haven't mentioned if you have already installed CWM or you still need to install it, but if you already have, then doing a factory reset is very easy. Switch off your phone and go into recovery mode(power+ volume down button together for 10 secs), then it opens into recovery, u have directly select factory reset and press yes when asked for confirmation. It will reset your phone.
And if you do factory reset you won't lose any data from your SD card. It will be retained in their respective memories, unless specifically formatted.
You will lose all your downloaded applications and everything. You need to login into play store and download all the stuff again. If that's OK with you you can go ahead. If you want to save your applications and their data, then it would be good to use Titanium Backup application and backup everything before you reset your phone.
Hope this helped you. Don't forget to hit thanks

its for rooting, you just have to run a batch file.
Bro...if you factory reset, yes indeed all your applications will be reset to default. You won't lose Google play store. Its an application which comes in any android stock rom by default. What you are going to lose are the applications and games which you have downloaded from the playstore.
Hence in my previous reply I suggested to you to get Titanium Backup app from play store and take a batch backup of all your apps. Then you can reset your phone without any worries!
