Hello!
Well... I have this phone since yesterday... I plugged to the computer with Kies, and well, a update was available... now the phone have Froyo and the aesthetics changed completely, it looks awesome.
But, the phone have this ANNOYING problem that, after using it... like 5~10 minutes of no activity, when I try to use the phone again it doesnt work... doesn't respond to any button, I have to take off the battery in order to restart it and that over and over again...
I've realized also that this happens when I'm using wifi, if I left the phone with wifi on this happens, without wifi seems to work fine.
Somebody have any clue what could be? there's little information about this issue in the internet...
I think I'm going to return it but I want to try everything I can do (without voiding the warranty) since the phone was perfect for what I wanted.
Thanks in advance!
Hey. I got the same problem here. It only happened a few times when I just had froyo that came stock on my galaxy 5 but I recently installed cyanogenmod 7 and now its happening everytime I put my phone down.
So I'm guessing it may be directly related to what rom is installed? I've heard about it happening a bit to people who have 2.1 installed to.
I dont know too much but it seems the only fix is to take out battery and turn on.
Sorry I can't help more. I hope somebody knows a bit more than me on this.
Think this is called something like the 'wifi sleep of death', something to do with the rom. i'd try change the rom and see if it still occurs
Thanks for the hints tho!, but I returned the phone... it seems that is a bug related to the update of the phone, since I know that with the out of the box 2.1 version it doesn't have that issue...
You know, the mobile carriers also do weird stuff to the roms... -__-
Hi there,
i've searched the net for help and didn't find anything similar.
my girlfriend and I both using galaxy S3 9300 4.1.2 bought in June.
In the last few week both of us suddenly saw that the phone turns off while it idle.
In most of the cases the solution was turn it back on, but sometimes it didn't help and we had to take the battery off and back on.
today I noticed for the first time that the phone doesn't really off- since the notification led still flashes.
I'm using apex launcher she use TW.
any idea anyone?
I will be grateful,
Thanks
Or
edit:
both phone are stock rom
mine with the UK Rom
Her with the Indian Rom
both 4.1.2 virsion.
I am having the same problems since last week. Sometimes it also freezes in applications. The GUI thread is then still running because I can see animations from loading dialogs and the wifi indicator also blinks. When this freeze occurs, the device won't react on button presses (except very long press on power button to reboot). Also the device is not going into standby mode (screen off) after 30 seconds.
Maybe this is a side effect of the last update? I am running build version JZO54K.I9300XXELLA (Dutch intl version).
Edit: when it's stuck also the battery is drained very fast.
you might be right and maybe there is a connection between last update and all that bugs suddenly appears.
I update through odin to the newest firmware:
I9300XXEMB1 I9300OXAEMB1 I9300XXMB1 BTU
anyone have a clue?
Data wipe would be first start point really
I would start from that, but how come that it started on both phone at same time- doesnt it means its a software related?

No idea to be honest, are they both stock phones? Rooted? Could even be something inane like a recent app update that isn't working properly, could be almost anything

both unrooted, both running stock rom.
anyway if so, i guess you wont recommend to back all my app, right?
I would back then up, system data is most likely the cause, so my advice would be just restore app data only where necessary and important

You flashed an international i9300 Rom on to your AT&T 9300, they are different phones, and you are in the wrong forum
My international Galaxy S3 started to constantly freeze, lock up and hang. So I decided to factory reset it. Then I figured why wouldn't I also switch to a custom ROM in the process. So I read the tutorials and installed Android Revolution ROM. The freezing problems have become very rare (they didn't completely go away) but this time I got an even worse problem. My phone won't wake up sometimes. It happened again a few minutes ago: The phone would ring (albeit the ringing tone came out laggy), nothing on the screen, I press power button no response, then I take the back cover off and reinsert the battery, boot the phone and look at the call logs but of course it doesn't show who called me. This is getting very frustrating. What seems to be problem?
Which version of Samsung Android were you using before?
You could try to flash official Samsung Android over your CM via Odin: and I mean 4.1.2 which is still more stable and reliable than the new 4.3 (In my opinion).
This should wipe everything on your device, and hopefully repair what's wrong with it.
Hope it helps.
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!

The other day the phone suddenly the image stuck freeze, so i remove the battery and turn on again. Then appear a screen telling me that "phone has unsuccessfully encrypted" so is necessary make a factory reset. On that screen only appear one button "factory reset". At that point i decide restart the phone and then is when this one never turn on again.
I have 2 batteries and is the same with both of them. Additionally the phone gets hot when the battery is placed on the slot.
Please if any have a advice to discover what is the problem and how to solve i will appreciate.

What firmware were you running on your phone? If it was ics 4.0.3 or 4.0.4, your device is probably doomed. If it was jelly bean or if you were running gingerbread or custom rom, there may still be hope.
Regards, gsstudios.
Im very sorry because the 8long time without reply. Finaly a get an old s4 from my dad, in order to whait for the new s7. Regarding to the s2: it was running CM lollypop. I sent it to a technical guy but i dont know what to do.
I think is death. To only thing i want by now is recover some pictures and some important data from the phone.
