Has anyone seen the S3 periodically freeze for about 20 seconds? It seems to happen randomly for me a few times a day. The tablet will be completely unresponsive for about 10-20 seconds, then go back to operating normally. It does not seem to be app dependent. Sometimes it does happen when the trying to wake the tablet too.

Haven't seen that on mine, I've had it since launch day. Maybe try and kill all apps or reboot and see if you can figure out what's causing it.

I have not been able to pin point and app as the source. The apps running are the same ones I had on my former Tab S. For a while I thought it might be game launcher and disabled it, but that was not it. Reboots don't seem to decrease the frequency and the freezes occur in every app I use including the launcher (using Nova).
It could always be an app as the OS level is different than the Tab S. I just have not found which app yet if it is an app.

My money is on an app thats not working too well with the tablet (probably vampiring resources).
If you truly want to try and fix it I would factory reset... See if its doing what your claiming, stock.
Then add the apps one by one until the issue returns.
I also have the S3 and have not had any issues...
I'm sure it is an app since no one else is seeing it. I'm disabling suspect apps one at a time to find it. Yesterday it did not freeze at all so I am thinking it might be the eWeather HD app.

It could have been something else, but that is the most likely candidate. It may have been some setting I had in it. I also have it on my phone and had no issues there.
The reason I suspect it is that the tablet popped up a warning that eWeather had been crashing a lot and offered to disable it. Once I did the freezing went away. Yesterday there was an update to eWeather and I have not had a freeze since installing that. I'm glad it's fixed now. eWeather is one of my favorite weather programs.

Same problem. Not starting up at all, or just after a delay. Seems random.
I do hear a click after starting, but seems a relais and normal.

Stupid question: How do you disable an app? Or do you mean: disabling=removing?
Huib
P.s. I removed the SD card (128GB) and keep you informed if that is the bastard!
update: after three hours without SD card still no freezing and immediat startup!
put it back it stays ok, but I disabled Dropsync. I think that one is the suspect.
SOLVED! Dropsync settings changed.

Titanium Backup is my preferred method for freezing/disabling apps; but if it's a system app you can also disable it via Settings -> Apps
my s3 froze today like it never did before. I thought I was about to start an RMA.
But I immediately found the culprit, snapshots below.....
i paid only $8 for it online.... too good to be true,
the volume is still there, but many files are corrupted....
Yes. I have the same problem. $800 cad and it freezes?

I had the same type of issues with my Tab S3 32GB and after removing my 64GB SD Card that showed no errors the issue was resolved. I then found that bestbuy was selling the Tab S3 128GB Model and purchased that model.
I found that running both devices with NO SD Cards they ran smooth with minimal lagg or freeze. I then installed two of the same 64GB Samsung Class10 u1 SD Cards and both started to have the lagging issue again as I used the SD Card to store Podcast & Data from Pocket Cast, Pocket & Texture. Ive since returned the 128GB unit and am trying a Samsung 256GB Class10 u3 SD Card to which I have not seen the issue return in 2 weeks.
Im not really sure if the speed of the SD Card is the issue but this thread appears to show that a SD Card can make these tablets laggy.
My Tab S3 128GB has frozen twice on me now and I've only had it for a week. It just did it about 10 minutes ago and was locked for a good 3 minutes and an error popped up saying that Nova Launcher had stopped... or something like that. It gave me the selection of launchers and I selected Nova and then the tablet functioned properly again. I do have a 64GB micro SD by samsung in the tablet, if it freezes again I will try removing that and rebooting.

OK - I'm starting to think I'm the only person that has this issue as I haven't seen it reported..
Sometimes, my Photon won't launch apps. Apps that are already running continue to run and I can switch back and forth between them, but trying to start a new app, it just doesn't start! Fix has been to either reboot, or have it go to sleep and wake it up 15 minutes later and try again. I've had it do this while a system task manager was running, so could see that there was plenty of free memory (RAM) available..
This includes launching apps from apps that are already running. i.e. - sometimes the browser doesn't launch from a search query. (mostly though pressing an icon on the STOCK launcher doesn't launch it..)
Anyone else see this?
-mark
Yeah mine seems to do it every once in a while too. I noticed that if you open the task manager and kill the market then whatever app your trying to open will end up opening up right after the market closes.

One of the reasons, I took mine back to the Sprint Store. When they fix it, I may buy it again... otherwise, my OG Evo is perfectly fine.
I can't believe more people aren't experiencing this. I do have LauncherPro installed but I don't think that's the reason. I can recreate this all the time. After installing an app through Market, I randomly can't open apps from the home screen.
Nothing happens unless I force close the Marketplace.
Any input on this?

The new market is absolute crap in my opinion, way to many FC's with it and it just doesn't do what it needs to. If I can go faster than it can download, select, etc then it needs to be reworked, also I get a lot of packet errors, have to download apps two or three times just to get it to install.. Great idea but it needs a patch bad!
I wouldn't see why this is a reason to take the Photon back and go back to an Evo, I mean the Evo is a cool phone but the hardware on it is sub par compared to this phone. I used to have one, and it doesn't even hold a candle. But to each their own.

I have only had this happen a few times I was told that it is associated with the battery manager settings if you don't use performance it can cause issues that was what was causing the muted audio issues the battery management settings put it on performance and I don't see the issue.

I just noticed my battery mode was set to Nighttime Saver. Hadn't even looked at this option. I went ahead and changed it to Performance Mode and will see if it happens again.
Thanks for the suggestion.
Mine does it too. After the update that just came out it seems to do it less now.
Just started having this issue today. App launches and others won't launch unless you kill the "hanging" app or the market.
I have no idea if this is a bug in blur or some kind of hardware defect (memory). It seems to be a software issue.
Problem persists after complete hard reset and app cache clear.
I'm using an 8 GB Samsung class 2 microSD card (from old Evo 4G). It has been reformatted.
Other symptoms: Back button and select widgets become unresponsive.
App count at time problem started: 72
yeah i have the same issues. not sure how to fix it. Usually a reboot does it but man i hate to reboot it all the time.
Could you list any changes, apps, app counts, microSD card, or settings your Photon has?
Mine is working smoothly after redoing my Photon for the 2nd time, reformating the microSD card via the phone, keeping my App count below 70, setting the Battery mode to Performance, and not installing Bump or Sensorly.
Still trying to narrow down the issue but it's looking like it's software related.
still happening
Is this problem still happening to anyone's phone?? It's starting to get really annoying, I tried a hard reset twice on two different photons and the problem's still occurring.
I fixed this by installing the automemory manager. Details in my thread called lag be gone.

Thread started to hopefully draw Asus' attention to one of the most annoying issues on the Prime, the "Browser not responding" error that seems to occur on almost any browser. I have turned flash to "on demand" which has helped a bit, but honestly, getting this message every 5-10 minutes is really annoying.
Sign on if you have this issue on your $500 Asus transformer prime too.
OMG this issue is sooo ANNOYING. I love my prime, but the constant pauses make me embarrased to show it to anyone. It looks a lot like hardware fault though, my galaxy s had the same issue and it was due to very slow flash writes(internal hardware, not adobe flash). It had an sd card soldered to the board for its internal memory and bascially any write would block the whole system for a second or two. It was fixed by some internal kernel changes and moving to ext4.
As noted in several other threads...there is a workaround.
In the browser, from the menu -> Settings -> Advanced -> Enable Plug-ins
Make sure it's set to "On demand"
Since changing this setting things for me have been pretty smooth.
I didn't have to do the On demand for the Galaxy S2 as it was perfectly find with it plugs ins on all the time.

I have tried the 'workaround' and can confirm that is not a true workaround. While it does seem to slightly reduce the number of occurrences it does not eliminate the annoying popup altogether. The OP also stated that he has tried this. Who knows, maybe this is something that varies from one device to the next.
Sometimes I wonder if its the bad i/o in combination with the Plus-1 of Nvidia's 4-Plus-1 that makes the browser tank. The slow i/o causes the Plus-1 to come into effect and the transfers slow even more due to reduce cpu speeds.
Factory reset solved this issue for me....Browser would hang and get popup...after reset stock browser loads pages with no hangs. Use Titanium Backup data only!
This happens in a couple applications for me. The browser (doesn't matter which one I use) and Pulse both have this problem. Both constantly give me the "not responding - wait or close" message. This is either a wifi related issue or an overworked ninja core, I don't know which.
I have faith that Asus will fix this with software eventually - along with the "process.android.media has stopped." I just wish they'd get to it a bit faster.

A lot of the evidence shows that it's not a wifi or processor issue -- more likely a memory I/O issue with the writes/reads to memory.
It can happen on my apps without any internet use or wifi and it happens even when I overclock the CPU.

It means when restoring stuff after a hard reset, don't restore the entire app... reinstall the app as normal and then only restore data... the thinking is that a unclean install will reintroduce problems into the OS.
Chiming in just to say
1. I get this error message, often
2. it has gotten worse with the last update
3. there is also a lot of lag in typing as well. Sometimes I can type a word before it shows up and then all of the sudden the browser catches up
I always did a factory reset after a firmware upgrade and manually redownloaded my apps from the play store. The unit was set not to restore any settings stored on google's servers.
Its as clean as it could be but the browser is what it is.
I am thinking of taking a big loss on the unit and switching to the Galaxy note 10.1 if those Exynos 4412 rumors come true.
hmmm, this must be device specific, after resetting mine, wiping, and installing
I very rarely get browser lag with a good wifi connection
"Browser not responding" is not my only issue with the browser. It's laggy when scrolling, and it also use very long time to load websites. Anyone else who has the same issues?

Factory reset cut it down for me but only after i changed plug in to "on demand" that it got rid of it. Maybe the combination of both did the trick.
Edit: placebo. Just happened again. Replicated by going to www.engadget.com full site and as its loading i tried scrolling a few times and the browser locked up. Got the wait pop up afterwards. This is plugin set to on demand.

I have no idea what could be causing this. I've never heard of anything like it, and I have yet to find any posts or anything on Google pertaining to it. The problem is simple. I install an app or game. Play or use it. Go do something else for 20 minutes to an hour come back expecting to use said app, and its gone. Its not in the launcher or manage apps, and play store acts as if it wasn't yet installed. I can go to market again to install it but that's just bothersome. I'm on an 8gb nook tab running an emmc install of cm10, looks like its the 2012-9-3 acclaim build according to about tab. Other than that I'm not sure which ROM exactly.
Any thoughts would be awesome.

Is there a "place holder" icon in place of the disappeared app? (home screen and app drawer, either or both) Would appear as a generic android icon.
Also, what apps are disappearing specifically?

When Ext-Sd card auto unmounts (known bug) everything installed on it (because ext-sdcard are default one /sdcard1) is then shown as a green android without their normal icon.
I've been having this issue as well with Business Calendar Pro. It isn't installed to the SDCARD. I haven't had the problem with the latest version of the ROM though.

I can't compare it to stock or CM7, though -- I haven't run either stock or CM7 since April or so. It does seem to suck the battery down much faster than Chris' CM10, though. To deal with that, I've been doing a full power-off (long press and select "Power Off") instead of a soft power-off when I know I won't be using the tablet for a while.

Almost any app. Here's an updated play by play.
Install app. App can be used.
After a while it disappears.
Can reinstall and use again.
Usually disappears again.
If tab is rebooted apps reappear. Icon and all.
If you attempt to open they force close. I don't remember the error message.
This mostly happens on large apps or games.
I'm gonna attempt to update my ROM and see if it still has the same problems.
Updated to the latest cherry picks ROM. I wiped and cleared everything. Same problem. Same symptoms. Any thoughts on causes and possible solutions? Or is this just a bug with the ROM?

I've experienced a similar issue, and it appears to be the result of the SD card getting (forcibly?) unmounted while sleeping. I have no idea how to prevent it other than moving all apps to internal storage if possible. Maybe ensuring that any apps the rely on storing data on the SD card are terminated before sleeping?
FWIW, I've had the same thing happen in the past with the stock BN ROM so it wasn't a huge surprise to me when it happened running CM10.

Okay, so the exact same thing happened that the OP described to me this morning on 27/09. I had moved several apps to the SD card and then when I came back to my Nook about a half-hour later, all those apps showed as Android icons and could not be launched. Rebooting made it possible to launch the apps again and brought back the normal icons.
Update: Perhaps it's coincidence but it seems that whenever I manually disable WiFi before sleeping my Nook (running 27/09 here), then everything is fine. However, if I forget to disable WiFi, then for some reason the SD has a chance to be unmounted while sleeping which requires me to re-install any apps that are installed on the SD card or that depend on the SD card for normal use.
I'm also thinking that maybe it doesn't have anything at all to do with WiFi being enabled, but instead perhaps it's just having apps running that depend on the SD when the unit sleeps (such as XDA premium which I've had to re-install several times over the last couple of days ) .
In all, it seems like a really vague and random issue that occurs and reiterating my previous posts, I've seen the SD card get unmounted using the original ROM so I'm just not sure what the deal is here.
I have a problem,with my tablet. I found that 3 of my favour apps has disappeared from my apps list and tablet . I don,'t uninstalled it. What can I do to recover an install it again. When I go in my Googly Store my apps list The 3 apps that is disappeared is not listed there. The 3 apps thats is disappeared is Mxit beta, Google translate and Opera Mini web browser. Is there anything I can do to find this disappered apps on my MTN Steppa 7" Tablet. Finally When I try to download a app from the webside or google play store it shows dowloading by don,t stop the download arrow flashing on and on even when I swiched off the mobile data it still shows downloading but nothing stops. When Switched on the Mini data the the download app is Queued. What can I do to stopit and removed it.

I have been having the same issue. I have had the phone since release and haven't had any problem, until about a month ago. It has rebooted a few times randomly. I am completely stock non-rooted.
I got one time today when I opened the YouTube app. I uninstall the update for the YouTube, and see what is going on
So I've noticed this happening for a few weeks now. Thought something was wrong with the phone and did a warranty replacement. New phone (not referb) does the same thing, just not as often. I think maybe it's an app running in the background now that had a bad update. I'm in the process of removing apps to see if it still happens.

It has happened last mid night again. In today moring, I found my phone restart one time, because I saw the popup notice for reminding the back cover that means the phone restart already. Please tell us what happen after you remove the apps. I think it is the software problem rather than the hardware problem. I don't want to get replacement phone because it is refurbished phone.

Well I'm still trying to determine which app is causing it. For all I know, it could be the firmware T-mo pushed out prior to the latest one. T-mo says they haven't had reports on this issue so I don't want to blame the FW right off the bat. I have ruled out about 70% of my apps and right now have about 5 uninstalled and phone hasn't restarted in 3 days. Below is are the apps I have yet to try and the ones currently removed.
Current Removed:
Code:
'Disable Increasing Ring'
'netflix'
'uber'
'hbo go'
'battery widget'
'2x rdp client'
'pandora'
Yet to try:
Code:
Google Maps
Facebook
Chrome
chromecast
hangouts
tinder
lookout security
Touchpal Keyboard
Reuters
Beep'nGo
Might help if you let me know which ones you have in common above. FYI, I also tried removing my sd card like I saw in a few forums. Also, Tmobile says they don't give you referb phones. They give new phones that were returned to the store within a few days. So openbox, mine looked perfect.

T-mo says they haven't had reports on this issue so I don't want to blame the FW right off the bat. I have ruled out about 70% of my apps and right now have about 5 uninstalled and phone hasn't restarted in 3 days. Below is are the apps I have yet to try and the ones currently removed.
Current Removed:
Code:
'Disable Increasing Ring'
'netflix'
'uber'
'hbo go'
'battery widget'
'2x rdp client'
'pandora'
Yet to try:
Code:
Google Maps
Facebook
Chrome
chromecast
hangouts
tinder
lookout security
Touchpal Keyboard
Reuters
Beep'nGo
Might help if you let me know which ones you have in common above. FYI, I also tried removing my sd card like I saw in a few forums. Also, Tmobile says they don't give you referb phones. They give new phones that were returned to the store within a few days. So openbox, mine looked perfect.

I just do some research online. Many articles are talking about that the android 4.4.2 has randomly reboot bug. I think this the common bug for the 4.4.2. Hopefully, the 5.0 is rolling out for international version. I think t-mobile will update the s5 to 5.0 soon.
Its the 4.4.2 firmware. Its because of all the apps updating to the new lollipop 5.0 but where still on kit Kat. Remember now these apps are set to run on art now so i believe there conflict between the dalvik thats the norm. On 4.4.2. I noticed if i run my SM-G900T 4.4.2 in art mode the rebooting stops. So at the end of the day this means when 5.0 is released to our S5 the reboots should stop. If your bothered by the reboots just run the 4.4.2 in art mode. Good day☺

I just turn off the VoLTE, and the phone runs for 10 days without any reboots. Do you think it is the problem of the VoLTE?

Could be.? I'm just making an educated guess that it's the fact that when our apps like YouTube, Gmail ,ect.. updated it seems that's when my reboots started. Volte could be a cause to. Your guess is as good as mine. But I truly believe it's the fact that the updated app where modified to art and 4.4.2 is dalvik. ?? I'm sure when the 5 update comes this will be resolved ☺

Will stock 4.4.2 unrooted run art? How would I enable that?

1.) Go into Settings, and About Device. Where it says: Build number press on this over and over again until it gives you the Toast message: Developer Options Turned On (something to that effect).
2.) Go back into Settings, and just below Security and above About device, you will see Developer options. Open this.
3.) 4th Item down is: Select runtime system. It should say: Use Dalvik. Change this option to: Use ART. It should work for a little bit, then Reboot your phone.
4.) All done!
Note: If you plan to Root your phone, and use Xposed, it is NOT compatible with ART runtime. If you plan to stay unrooted, or not use Xposed if you do root, then you are fine. You can always switch back if you decide to do this.
I am getting this annoying screen flicker. The screen will dim as if it's going to sleep and then brighten again. This happens when typing, opening apps, and other times. I can deal with it but it is getting annoying.
Does anyone else have this issue and if so, any fixes for it?
I was having same problem. I think it might be a app causing it. My PayPal app I think did it to mine.
I have this aswell lol i thought it was just me “ it happens randomly with me on apps like twitch an youtube “ my screen dims then brightens twice in a row quickly “ i thought it was just reading the apps that i had moved to sd card so i put them back on device but it still dose it atleast twice a day “ weird?? must be a software bug as its not normal or called for surely “ its only recently started doing this so im all out of ideas maybe ill factory reset and use my phone for a day without installing anything to see if it still happens

I hate factory resets lmao. Don't have the free time anymore that I used to
Had the same thing, when opening camera the navigation bar would bleed through into the UI, appeared like a slow flicker, removed PayPal after researching and problem gone.

I've disabled Google smart card notices. I noticed mine doing it when the weather alerts from Google would pop up in my notifications list. I tapped the weather message and went to the Google page, then to settings and disabled notifications and the smart cards all together.
I have actually been to the point I was ready to take the brand new phone back to Verizon over this. But I didn't want a "re manufactured" or "second" after paying for this beast.
I'll see if this helps and report back.

That didn't work...
Going to try removing the PayPal app....
I think I've seen this issue here and there, and also where the screen will almost 'invert' colors... Not exactly, but things will look sort of greyscale-ish for a short while. I THINK it's when the device is in sunlight, so could this be an adaptive feature? It seems to be remedied by covering the light sensor
Same issue here....
It seems completely random - but it's always 2 large flickers - as if the screen is almost turning off, and then back on - twice...
Still the best phone ever - i'm sure this will get resolved.
I had this problem too ` i removed the paypal app 2weeks ago and it went away permanently
Have had the same issue on the Verizon and AT&T varient. Had PayPal app on both. I just removed the PayPal app so lets see if that works. Otherwise this phone is pretty nice.
Same here. ..
I've also noticed this issue sporadically, though I haven't been able to tie it to any one task. Seems more like a an OS/application programming issue with the core system. It's kind of annoying; hopefully it'll be pathedone in an update, though i'my not sure if LG is aware of the issue or not...

interesting, this happened to me as well, but it went away after I rebooted several times... still have the Paypal app installed, but if it comes back I'll try removing it.
Having issue on an LG stylo 2. Usually occurs in Messaging app, but 5 minutes ago occured while in dolphin browser. No paypal app on phone, all apps have background data restricted unless on wifi (All Apps), and it only started today. Phone is current for all updates.
