Hi
I am using 4.42 on my rooted i9300.
my mobile goes to boot loop too many times.
like i got a call ... once i am done and cancelled the call, my mobile restarted and went into bootloop.
Had to take out the battery and put it back to get it working.
this happens at different times with different cases.
one more thing i am facing is -- FCs sometimes with play-store, sometimes with facebook and sometimes while playing games like fifa 14 or real cricket.
downgraded my i9300 back to 4.41 with gapps-modular-mini-4.4.4-20140708. lets see if i face the same issues now.
Also currently downloading 4.43

Ok. Problems I have encountered the 2 days I have used the phone:
Constant freeze. The first hour I used the phone it froze and rebooted 7 or 8 times.
Missing SocialLocation.apk. This caused a problem for the GPS in smart actions to work at all. Rooted phone and installed the app, and problem disappeared.
Tried to hard reset the phone because of all the rebooting problems. Guess what, on the first menu coming up where you can choose language, the phone froze and rebooted again. Now still it is constantly freezing and rebooting.
The freezing issues does not really have one specific app causing it. It can happen whenever doing whatever!
Anyone got a solution for this? Maybe a OTA update for Norwegian model?
Well, as my dad's phone is still fine as of now with not a single reboot in 2 days, I'd suggest you get in contact with your carrier and ask for a replacement. This seems to be a phone defect and you should be able to get your replacement easily. Be sure to not mention rooting and installing SocialLocation.apk though!!
You rooted and removed some files from the System, did you not?
Hi Everyone, thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
I have an International Galaxy S3 (GT-I9300), running 4.1.2 stock, rooted, bought nearly a year ago. About a month ago the phone started freezing & needing a reboot maybe once a day. In the past 2 weeks it is becoming much more frequent, however. Sometimes the phone freezes while in standby (screen off), sometimes while browsing/general usage. The only clear pattern I can see is that it always freezes around 11pm everyday. These are the troubleshooting steps I have tried:
1. I did a factory reset - no fix.
2. Flashed CM 10.1 plus Gapps to test if the problem was with the stock firmware- no fix. Same problem
3. Re-flashed the stock firmware with Kies - same problem.
4. Had a suspicion that it was one of the Google apps causing the issue - uninstalled Chrome, disabled Play Music, disabled Gmail - no fix.
5. Ran eMMC Check to see if the chip could cause the problem - it says I have an insane chip, but memory block test was successful.
6. Ran logcat at 11pm last night and it froze at the following: PowerManagerService [w] Timer Ox1->OxO | OxO. I don't know if that is relevant as I don't understand it...
I'd appreciate any help. I am at the stage where I'm thinking of sending it back to Samsung for repair, but others who have reported this problem have said that there phones have the same problem upon return.
read the freezing thread in General
I can confirm that the method here is working:

over a month not a single freeze
I ran the DFG fix, will report back
Ran the DFG fix again twice yesterday (thats around 35-40gb written so far) and no freezes in the past 24 hrs...
Hey guys. My S3 started freezing randomly a few days ago. What happens is that I will be playing with it and then it will literary become unresponsive along with the hardware buttons except the power button. The weird thing is that the animation on the screen is still active: say I was writing a text and the little blinking bar keeps blinking as if nothing is wrong but the phone is simply unresponsive.
I did a factory reset and it is still happening.
Anyone have any idea what the heck is happening? Is it hardware or software related?
Have a read of the freezing thread in general forum, sounds like the operating system is dealing with bad memory blocks.
Well, same thing happens to me, i looked up on that tread about bad memory blocks: well i even tested the memory and works fine, no bad memory sectors, my hardware power button responds to restart (no need to pull out battery). When it does freeze it doesn't unfreeze at all after some time ( i once let it unfreeze for entire night on charger and it stood on the same screen after 8+ hours). I even reinstalled a different software (JB 4.1.3 Darky edition) and it freezes very rarely now but when it does, it's still same kind of freeze. When it freezes it freezes mostly on Twitter app but sometimes random app. I don't know now is it really a faulty memory or just software bugs... btw dummy file didn't freeze my phone (to be clear) after i reinstalled the software, but did it before on old one
Help! Galaxy's freezing!
Hello,
I have exactly the same problem, when phone freezes nothing works except power button, when pressing it about 10 seconds, the phone reboots. I have exactly the same model (GT-I9300), but Lithuanian. The freezing lasts from 10 minutes to an infinite time. All the freezing started about three weeks ago, when google play started updating iron man game. I tried dummy file geterator, the phone hasnt freezed at all, but the phone freezes randomly when opening internet, other apps or just anytime, even when phone is on stand by. I tried flashing DarkyRom 4.1.2 XXEMB1, but the phone started freezing even more, then i recovered from the Nandroid backup, and the phone is now freezing not so frequently, about 1 freeze in 2-3 days, but it still freezes, and i also have a strange "Process com.google.process.gapps has stopped working" problem. I tried every solution to this problem, but none of them works. Also, i think it is somehow connected to the freezes, because after those messages phone freezes sometimes. I dont know how to solve these super annoying problems, because i tried nearly everything, and nothing works. I think this might be a hardware issue, and that i should buy a new phone. If you know somehing, help me!
Hi all
I tried going to a Lollipop ROM on my S2 but I only managed to change the recovery, the ROM didn't work (boot loop) so I used ODIN to revert back to the stock ROM (i9100XWLSW) wiped both the data and dalvik cache. I did also have Kingroot installed during all this and I installed it again after flashing the stock ROM but I've since removed that too with another write of the stock ROM via ODIN.
The problem I'm having now is Whatsapp and other apps won't actually do anything if the device is asleep. The WiFi appears to be connected, logo is present at the top if i wake the device but it takes about 10 - 30 seconds of being inside an app (such as Whatsapp) for anything to happen. I'm not sure if this is a WiFi issue or some sort of app issue across the board? I woke up today at 9am checked my phone there was nothing on it. It was only at 10:30am when I went to send a Whatsapp message to someone and opened the app manually that i had messages come in from 8am that morning. I also use Whatsapp Web and some times it won't connect to the phone via WiFi even if the device is awake. I have to reboot and try again. Although if it's connected via Whatsapp Web and asleep messages come in no problem at all both on the PC and the phone??!!!!
It's doing it constantly now, at the start it was touch and go but now it's all the time i have to constantly check the app for messages to come in. This happens on other apps too.
What's going on? Have i damaged my device some how from the flashing process? I'm pretty familiar with ODIN as I used to flash my old Galaxy Apollo all the time but never had this problem.
I was going to get a new phone but I actually really like my S2 and it actually keeps up with most of the phones in my price range and in some cases (camera, AMOLED screen, storage, sometimes RAM) it is better than the new stuff!
Any idea's please?
Never mind went and got myself a nice Note 3 instead...
Thanks guys.
Anyone else had this since the latest stable miui update? The GPS issue arose and had issues with various apps and games causing the phone not to respond, others would hang for ages then work eventually after it kicked back into life.
I went to the developer global ROM to see and the GPS worked but the app hangs still persisted.
I unlocked the bootloader yesterday and put lineage 14.1 on (official). Same issue is persisting. I've formatted the entire internal storage before flashing the latest nightly along with firmware and gapps.
Games such as Crossy road, smashy road, mario run all won't load just sit on a black screen. Dawn of titans however does seem to work.......
Any thoughts?? :silly:
Just tried the Disney version of Crossy road as a test.....loads then hangs on the 1st screen for an age.....then loads to the screen where you have to press the play button......5 app isn't responding messages later (after clicking wait) and finally kicks into life......not sure why all these apps hang for so long then eventually work?
Any options in developer options that may resolve this?
Just reinstalled the original game and eventually got it to load after freezing forever and a ton of not responding messages, then after selecting a gift to open the freezing came back again.....it's struggling with something as works fine during gameplay
No worries found the problem, was the micro SD card it's knackered.....didn't think it would affect the apps and system as there stored on internal memory??
