[Q] Problem with S3 (i9300) - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I have an S3 (i9300) with CM11 always in his last nightly. I have a problem because the mobile download quickly and loading slowly. The Phone I've switched to other ROMs, kernel, I changed the charger, battery, so I formatted, even with few apps I still have the same problem.
Since 5 months ago I have this problem, turn off the mobile live it on "Airplane mode" and then leave even more than 6 hours to fully charge it.
I'm a user "heavy" since I am constantly using it in Whatsapp, mail, other social networks, etc ... But it does come five months presenting this issue and I want my phone before.
I've noticed that sometimes in certain-outlets (do not know how they call it in Spain but just Google it appears) sometimes faster loading than others but in other circumstances load equal than others, perhaps because it is a little paranoid but already has me tired this problem.
Maybe everyone say you buy a new phone but not if they have fixed the problems that exist in Venezuela and buy a new one is almost impossible.
I hope some help from you. Thanks in advance.

[Q] Receiving Same SMS multiple times + Sometimes No Calls

Hello,
i recently changed from HD2 to SGS2 and im really new about how things work on this side..
My Problems are:
I receive the same SMS multiple times.. It usually stops when i get another SMS but then it continues with that new one..
When screen is off (standby) i dont receive any calls.. It keeps ringing on the other side but i dont see anything on the phone.. Just when i have the phone beside any radio or speakers, i hear that something is coming (you know that mecanic sound that comes from PC speakers etc.), but there is nothing on the phone.. Also same for the SMS'es, i get the SMS'es after i turn the screen on..
When in standby, it shuts off the Wifi, even if i set up the Sleep Policy to never..
So i suppose, the phone shuts almost any radio, when in standby (maybe something like flight mode).. And i dont know what are those related to ? Should i just change the kernel (if so, which one ?) or completely change the ROM and everything..?
My Phone has currently Android 2.3.3 (i think it is an official standard rom)
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE7
Mobile Company: SIMYO - Germany
Hope there is a solution..
Thanks
just wanted to up the post.. give me at least some ideas, even if you dont know any solution..
thanks..
same problem here...
Push...
Problem is still there.
Upgraded to a bunch of different ROMs and Kernels but nothing has changed so far.
Have the same problem but also some more info
My problem started a week ago, same symptoms. I also noticed that one of my apps was stalling, Total call recorder. Just uninstalled it and the problem have been solved for an hour right now. Ill keep you updated when more time has past.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 , Android ver. 2.3.5 Original
i had the problem always, even after hardreset, so i think it wasnt a software problem..
i gave the phone for repair on 14. sept. and im still waiting.. it came aready 2 times as "repaired" but the problem was still there..
i dont know if im unlucky or if samsung sucks..! either way im waiting for more than 3 months and dont know what else i can do..

Galaxy S II keeps crashing

Hi all,
My Galaxy S II keeps crashing. The phone will just power off and the battery will drain right out and the only way to turn it back on is take the battery out then charge it again. Sometimes if I am quick and realised it has crashed I can take the battery out and turn it back on and the battery will have drained 30% in an hour.
Does anybody know why the phone might do this or is there a way I can track whether something in particular is crashing the phone via a log or something like that?
Thanks
Yes there are apps that can do that.
So whats the score.......are you on latest o2 or latest unbranded.
Post the about phone details lol.
Hi,
It is on the latest H3G UK firmware and is unlocked via the Galaxy S Unlock app by Helroz (so via nv_data.bin)
4.0.4
I91000NELP4
Build: IMM76D.XWLPY
Any ideas and what is the app called?
Thanks
Hello,
Just thought I would take this opportunity to join this thread since I have been suffering from a very similar (if not identical) problem on my S2 too. It's quite lengthy, apologise for that - hope to give as clear a picture as possible:
- S2 originally from vodafone contract, am now with giffgaff
- 1 year and 6 months old
- not rooted, have always used Samsung official firmware
- updated to ICS 4.0.4 about a month ago(?)
- Kernel version 3.0.15-1056084, build number: IMM76D.BULPG
I must say I can't be certain if the random crashes started (it would sometimes heat up really hot, or sometimes not warmed up at all), phone will just turn off. Can't turn back on without taking battery out and re-inserting.
Similarly, the battery level will drop by 30+% once the battery is re-inserted.
Have experienced once where it started up in "safe mode" and although everything was still there, the apps I have put in folders were all listed cos the folders were gone. Restarted and it wasn't in safe mode anymore, but had to create new folders and sort my apps again.
The random turn offs can happen every few days, or twice a day. Don't know why it happens.
I haven't installed many new apps (some are by japanese developers but worked fine before and after I updated firmware), asked at a Vodafone store and they suggested it could be a battery problem. (offered to send it off for repair, but will take 7-10days and factory reset, which I want to avoid...)
So bought and changed a new battery (from Samsung website) which looked good (no random shut downs for a week) but it all started again last night. So it's not the battery.
Suspected it's most probably software problems.
After upgrading to 4.0.4 firmware, the phone cannot display phone serial number/network etc etc under the "legal information" in settings.
The battery log seems funny too, I would re-insert battery and restart, the battery log will still show it's been on battery for 20+hours.
I've also spotted that there're 2 OS running when looking at the battery log - when I upgraded from gingerbread to ICS, I did not do a factory reset (is that absolutely necessary?) but phone has been working perfectly for a few months after the upgrade so I thought nothing of it....
I wanted to post a screenshot but not allowed cos I'm new to forum... =(
Is it because there're 2 OS so it's clashing...?
Since I haven't rooted, I'm not sure what I can do - last resort is to wait until JellyBean rolls out from Samsung and factory reset when I upgrade?!
Hope I've given enough info to get help easier.
PS: Kies is testing my temper. Tried to solve the "this device is not supported by KIES" problem by reinstalling whilst not connected to internet, kind of worked, allowed me to backup small files (such as call logs) but when it comes to big bits e.g. photos, it will show the "unexpected error" message again.....
also got "wssyncmlnps has stopped" on my phone...
ARGH!!! just wana backup my stuff before it completely turns into a brick!

So glad it is not just me. I'm hoping I can use an app to log what is going on when crash time happens. Can someone tell me what the app is called please?

[Q] Unusual problem since XXELLA (JB) update

Hi all this is my first post, nice to meet you all.
Last week I connected phone to Kies and it asked to update to XXELLA (JB) so thought Ok I'll update it. At first was very impressed with some new features etc but my phone has since developed a few rather annoying problems.
1) Battery seems to go much quicker with no extra usage from me. Using the phone the exact same way.
2) Mobile data intermittently stops working after you come off the internet or an app no longer requires a connection. It will be turned on in the setttings but no 3G symbol on top of screen
3) The most annoying issue with this phone now since update is when the above happens (3G turned on but no connection) my phone will not send/receive text messages and will not call out.
I have to power cycle the phone to correct it (restart)
Just to let you know my phone is now rooted but this wasn't done til a few days ago and problem was happening before this.
P.S. I don't know if this has anything to do with my problem with texts etc, but a few weeks ago now I tried calling a mate on O2 only to be joined into someone elses conversation. We both could here the other person but they couldn't here us and I couldn't hear my friend either. Ended the call then rang my friend again and was fine. Just a bit scary that you could be in someone elses conversation unknowingly these days, and you wouldn't have a clue.
Any solution to my problems, other than to revert back to ICS instead of JB are welcome.
As this is a Samsung update contact Samsung service centre .
Or try a factory reset or join XDA and flash stockJB firmware are your choices .
Root voids Samsung warranty
jje
My phone has improved slightly instead of locking up reception as I'll call it when data turned on, it now works for a short while then stops working where as before it was as soon as it was activated.
I'll keep an eye on it and if it doesn't improve i'll unroot and contact samsung or get a custom rom put on and see if that improves things somewhat.
thanks

[Q] Galaxy S4 drains battery during call

Hi all,
I have a problem with my Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505. For a couple of days ago I installed CM11 on the phone and then experienced that the mobile signal had some trouble keeping it stable. Many calls made the phone-app crash and so on, the battery also drained really really fast during the calls, I think the battery goes from 100% to 0% in an hour, it also got burning hot at the top speaker-area.
Since I had all those problems I decided to try the new unofficial CM12, the phone-app didn't crash anymore, but the phone still drained battery as fast and was still as hot as with CM11. After trying to take out the memory-card, make a hard-reset and all possible things, I gave up.
I then installed the original firmware again, and by that unroot the phone, but the problem now exists in the original firmware as well!! Does anyone know what could have happen?
Hope that you guys here can help me!
There is a picture of a short call of 8 minutes that I made attached below.
Thanks!
Hey .check ur battery first wethr its swolen or not....2 it can be a hardware problem also..did it every fel into water? Cuz same thing happened to my note 2....
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app

Anyone else struggling with Samsung Galaxy Alpha performance?

My wife and I both bought Samsung Galaxy Alpha phones when they were released. It was a fine phone until about a year ago when they updated. After that update both phones became miserably slow. As in, sometimes can't even respond in time to answer phone calls slow. Today I started the GPS and it didn't offer directions until I arrived at the destination. Yet, sometimes it'll be very fast as if nothing were wrong.
I know it's not a hardware problem because it's affecting both phones. I just replaced the battery on one of the phones (taken from a new Galaxy Alpha). Doing a factory reset didn't fix the problem. Resetting the phone helps some but not for long. I'm wondering if it's just FUBAR now? Should I try rooting the phone? Maybe Google fixed the problem in a later update.
If you factory reset it and restore everything back again you won't help the phone in anyway (if that's what you did), try using a custom ROM like EpsilROM, then delete unnecessary system apps, also try using less RAM hungry apps like Facebook or find a way to kill apps when you don't use them
