When I use anything other than stock it runs pretty laggy. The UI is really laggy and games are very slow. I went from B128 ( WIND mobile ) straight to B322 if that helps. I think it's because my phone is not the normal b126 that most phones are. Any help?
Can you go to B309 first, before B322? For some reason I recall one should get B309 first, and then incremental update to B322. Sometimes mine feels slow, but so far I’m pretty happy, except for missing Groufie in the camera. Restarting, or completely shutting off, usually helps, as well as keeping from filling the memory completely.
Actually for a little while now the Google Mic does not work. It freezes up until I push the power button to shut off the screen, and turn it on again....

I am from Hong Kong, using vibrant.
I found that my vibrant will get easily hanged/not responding, occasionally.
No matter which rom I flashed, stock, roms from eugene. (Applied/not Applied lagfix)
When my vibrant is not responding, the back of vibrant near the camara or next to the camara, will get hot and hotter.
After a long press of the power button, for a hard reboot of the vibrant, the vibrant will be fine again. However, the situation repeat.
So, I want to figure out that is there anybody encountering the same situation.
Thanks.
I have not had this exact problem, but I have had mine randomly go black. It's done it 3 times in the 4 days I have had it. When it goes black, you can't turn it on, power does nothing, and you have to pull the battery to start it again. I have never let it sit long enough to see if it gets hot.
I have heard mixed thoughts, some people claim it's hardware problem, some say its a firmware problem =/
I've seen my screen turn black with just the key backlights remain on. The device becomes and remains hot to the touch as if working very hard (drawing heavily on the battery and CPU) but it never responds again. Holding down the power button for a full five seconds resets it.
In my case, I typically see this happen while I'm trying to use Google Navigate (GPS) while also running Pandora (streaming radio) in the background. Often it works, but often it doesn't, especially on days with warm weather. I've monitored battery temperatures around 114 degrees F after rebooting.
I suspect it is related to the problems with the GPS (fixed to use supl.google.com) and very much hope it will be fixed with the promised OTA upgrade. Although I may have seen it a few times (very few times) without GPS. My other suspicion turns toward a process called mmcqd which seems to run heavily at times. Perhaps the lagfix will help with this "Multimedia Card Queue Daemon" process. ::shrug::
Just offering this as notes to compare. I'm curious if others see the problem with GPS disabled? Or if you notice the mmcqd process maxing your CPU?
I've noticed that when using GPS, only when the GPS gets confused.. say for instance that I'm driving, get out of my car with a Navi program still running and walk inside of a building/house.. bam, phone is dead with the buttons lit.. I've decided to not bother with GPS.
If you're having those types of issues try avoiding background sync with the forever sluggish stock eMail app, and don't load up the internal memory with a lot of junk.
having the same prob... cant find the solution .. do u have any?
This happens to me on my stock vibrant everytime I try to use the maps program. On the off chance I get it to start working, as soon as it shifts orientation to landscape mode the whole thing will lock up. Usually I have to remove the battery to get it to reset. As was said, it appears to be caused by the faulty gps, so I usually just leave mine off.
However, I haven't noticed it happening while doing anything else and I'm hoping the upcoming ota update fixes these issues. (Don't want to bother with rooting stuff until I'm on stock 2.2)
The solution is to install the leaked update that we should be getting officially very soon. No freezing, no serious lag (installing apps will lag almost any Android device), no black screen freeze ups, much improved GPS, I'm lovin' it.
I installed Cyanogen Mod7 on samsung vibrant, after reboot the set not started, only samsung logo shows but not booted further, plz give the solution.

Hey, did u get the update or solution?
My phone is a week old tomorrow. It is bone stockTmobile and has been having force close/ freeze issues. Nothing specific that I can recall doing at the time. I have a moderate amount of apps and games I play on it. When calling or just using in general it freezes which I then have to restart or pull the battery if completely frozen. I have wiped the phone and went back to factory setting. It seems to make no difference. What have you guys done to fix this issue?? A guy I work with has the exact same phone and his works flawless. I normally close the apps when done and I regularly clear the memory in the ram tab to help keep things running good. My S2 also started getting force close and freezing issues after updating to ICS. While I was waiting for Tmobile to warranty the S2 I bought the S3. Now have similar issues. Plus this phone seems to be blessed with wifi dropout issues, complete signal loss (comes back after restart), cant disable the led, and takes a screen shot on its own without having to push home + power. Just wait long enough and viola Nice phone but a little bigger screen, and a little faster processor. Starting to wonder if I should just take back and enjoy the S2 till something better comes out. Is it possible I just received a LEMON??
Okay first of all, I've scoured not only XDA but even Google for an answer to this problem to no avail. So if anyone has/knows of any thread that has the answer, please kindly reply or notify me so we can have this thread removed.
Here goes,
I'm experiencing a very unique (afaik) problem with my Galaxy S3. This started a few months back, when the phone started getting random reboots/ freezes and terrible battery life on ANY ROM/Kernel. I've tried CM, SlimBean/Kat, and even Stock and nothing worked. Finally I figured maybe the battery was shot. So a few days ago I went and got a new battery, and that's when it got weird.
I used the latest SlimKat after replacing the battery and after powering on the device, EVERYTHING seems perfect. It's really fast and responsive, battery drain while screen is on is extremely acceptable, things worked like new again. UNTIL I switched off the display, after 5 mins, I pulled out the phone and it was switched off. At first I thought maybe the initial charge wore down so I charged the phone to full, then powered it on. Again, everything went smoothly BUT, after switching off the display for more than 1 minute, the phone shuts off automatically.
I switched to the latest stock 4.3 ROM and restored everything to factory settings and it seems to have helped at first. As usual, everything is fast and battery doesn't drain so much BUT, after putting the phone to sleep, it takes 5-10 seconds for the screen to wake after pressing the power button, and even if it wakes up, it becomes EXTREMELY laggy and often freezes requiring a reboot. As usual, after a fresh reboot, everything becomes awesome again until I have to turn the display off for more than a minute.
I've tried everything, even installing an app that prevents deep sleep but the problem persists. It improved a little after flashing stock rom and reverting everything back so I'm really hoping this isn't a hardware issue. Is there maybe something else I can try, settings/software-wise? The phone is almost 2 years old and is already out of warranty.
I'm hoping it's not the sleep of death thing because the phone isn't exactly bricked. I can still use it for as long as it doesnt have to go into deep sleep (I turn it off before putting in my pocket and turn it on again when I need to browse/use the camera which is all it's good for in its current state.)
Also, the symptoms don't really fit the usual "Sleep of Death/Brickbug" Symptoms I've read about.
Hey, I remember having a similar problem. I formatted both my internal sd and external sd. Haven't had any problems ever since. Hope this helps.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Free mobile app
Already tried that. I did full wipes/formats on all my installs. I even tried not having an external SD inserted for the Odin installs. I tried not installing any app on the phone and it still gets messed up after going to sleep. As fresh installed AOSP or Pure Stock ROM. Odin flashes no problem so I'm really hoping nothing hardware-wise is messed up. I had to re-flash PIT after getting a new battery though, could I have messed something up there that would lead to this?
There is an app for that deep sleep syndrome, it's on playstore its calles brick check or something like that, if you cant find just google it.
And I dont think that could be software problem, BUT depends on what apps you used, flashes you made.
Hope it hepls
Well, i don't think its deith break, but i had the same essue with unofficial 4.3 and then at official 4.3 it worked well,
it may be a break in the motherboard or something.. as u tried every rome avilable it couldn't be softwear thing..
the app for emmc firmware is called 'eMMC check', you can find it on playstore
edit: does your phone heat up? or battery? did your display ever turned blue when waking up from sleep?
it could be also a short with your display/motherboard or other connectors or battery connector... and the protection kicks in
if you're good with tools and phone is not under warranty, you could disassemble it and reassemble/reseat the connectors
or, could be the power button shorting, if you decide to open it, examine the power button
@Eibram did you ever undervolt or overclock when using custom kernels or roms? Because it could be hardware damage.
Also, do as they tell you above, check if you have the insane f01 emmc chip. I know it's a common missconception going around that since 4.1.2 the SDS got fixed, but it didn't really get fixed since it's a firmware problem in the emmc patched through software which just makes it highly unlikely to happen (but not impossible).
I did some minor undervolting way back before JB came out but not since over half a year ago. I did the eMMc check and yes, I do have the inane chip.
Just an update, I re-flashed a PIT file and a rescue firmware and it seems to have helped a bit. It was running fine for over 12 hours aside from a random reboot just now.
I'm observing the phone right now to see wether the reboot was just coincidental. I really wish this is just a software thing.
Okay one more update, 2 days in and I've only experienced the one random reboot. It's still sometimes slow when waking up, but something around 2-5 secs sore not 5-15 seconds slow. I'm thinking that must be due to touchwiz bloat.
I have bought a galaxy alpha four days ago. The device was working very well the first days with no problems. Excellent phone. It was getting warm, but I know this is normal for phones.
However the warm became worse, at the point the display was heating so much to risk to burn my finger. The display is now constantly getting warm even when doing simple tasks (whatsapp, browsing internet) and it is uncomfortable to use.
If I try to do a intensive task (like playing a game), even only for a few minutes, then it becomes hot and it makes the display almost untouchable. The top part of the display is especially affected by the problem. The back cover in plastic is also warm, but nothing that prevents me from safely holding the device in my hand
I have tried to turn off the phone and let it to cool down. However, after turning on the device again, the phone gets warm like before.
Is all of this normal? I'm aware that every phone becomes hot with use, but I believe my alpha is exxaggerated. I think it's a problem of faulty device, but I'd like to know your opinions first before to go back to the shop.
Thank you for answering
do you uodate to android 5?alpha get hot if your screen brith 100%.....or use a case or cover........or using 3g 4g wifi all time.....its a cool dvice but like all phone can get hot

I say return it and get a replacement. Yes, the phone does heat up from both Kitkat and Lollipop builds but not to the point where it "burns" fingers.

hi had a similar problem like this with my alpha phone as well not to the degree where it felt like the screen was burning my finger just that it was unusually warm what i did to solve this was to disable every and anything that's unnecessary that's running in the background that came on my phone, disable all gesture feature as well as set the screen brightness to auto, change launchers, make sure WIFI NFC and bluetooth are disabled when not in use and if you do not use LTE on your phone disable it as well doing all of this should help to speed up ,increase battery life and hopefully make your phone cooler
I would suggest a factory reset and a day of testing after. If its still the same go for service.

Update: I have followed your suggestions and The alpha looks to be fine now. I'll bring It back to the shop if the heat happens again.
Thank you for your attention.

So My Galaxy Note Edge freezes after using it for a few minutes, then - starts rebooting. I have already tried Factory Reset, I did some research, and found out that Android 6.0 might cause this problem, so I downgraded my Android up to 4.4 Kitkat, seems like my phone freezes a little bit less frequent, but still - every ~10 minutes of using. However there is one more thing, if I use Wake Lock app and make CPU always running, phone never freezes nor reboots. Anyone has any idea what might cause this problem ?
Also, how bad is to keep your CPU always running(at least 300mhz) I don't really care about the battery, but I'm anxious if this won't kill my CPU ???
