Hello!
I'm still using a SGS3 I9300, 4.3 which suddenly started crashing/FREEZING regularly. Took me days to work out the issue. Have done multuple FR and got it running well now. Not rooted ever.
It seems to work fine, as long as I uninstall all PlayStore updates, and then it works well, with occasional freezes if I have loads of intensive apps back on it. Playstore on the factory version has no connection to download any apps or get permissions for apps. Nor will it update itself .
I have another S3 on 4.1.2 that works fine still....and no problems with running the same apps on it. I sideload apps from that onto it, or use Samsung Apps.
Play Store never updates itself in the faulty S3, so that's a clue as to whether its the motherboard or power ic I assume? Whatever is responsible for updating it? Tried over Weeks now.. it just says no connection (Playstore).
If i sideload various versions of Playstore, then they work briefly, and allow connections to verfy/register apps like Poweramp, but in seconds the phone freezes and I need to hard reset to get the phone off and on again. And then uninstall all Playstore updates again ASAP and eventually the phone runs well again.
I am guessing its as the power drain is too much as when Playstore triea to run it connects with various apps, but like I said it won't automatically update itself either.
OS 4.3 should still update via Playstore I believe, 4.1.2 I reckon also.
Anyone know an answer please? as where the issue is....with Playstore not updating itself, AND crashing/freezing my phone constantly when I put a working Playstore on it.
TIA

That's a statement, not a question!
If you need some help, more information is going to be needed. I presume from your statement that you are unable to download any applications from the Market over WiFi?
If that's the case:
1. Does it work over the cellular network?
2. What precisely happens over WiFi?
Regards,
Dave
I noticed this same issue today as well. Over the cellular network or wifi, i can't download or update apps. When I check on the status of the app after trying to download it, it just says it's downloading with no end in sight. I can use the browser, check email, update weather, etc... but, the market is 'useless'. I'm running a stock hero.
it works over wifi but takes ages to start, sometimes it starts inmidiatly and sometime it takes a while. i'm not sure where the problem is. but maybe this will be fixed with the new market.
Try starting Google Talk to see if this causes the downloads to start - I've heard of numerous cases where this has "cured" the problem, presumably because some of the GTalk components are common to the Market. It may help, it may not, but it is worth a try.
Regards,
Dave
I know this isn't an option for some, but I just decided to flash the modaco 2.2 rom and market is working fine. I did notice my LEDs were not working today so that kind of pushed me to flash the rom again. I kept the original radio (updating the radio to the latest a couple weeks ago meant I couldn't use my data connection :S) and it's working fine.

had/have this problem also sometimes, my solution is quite simple. jsut reboot the phone, and everything works fina and normally
Is there a specific process/service that could be blocked/delted/frozen to stop the OTA from constantly happening? Or is it quite deep system within the Android OS?
I'm currently running the first release of GB OTA, then went ahead did Revolutionary and then flashed SU to get root.
Now its not a big deal when the phone does try to update, it just fails(not sure why it fails, but I just get the "!" and blue android icon). I just normally go in hboot and wipe the cache and good for a few days.
Well now its been really like trying to get the OTA going. Every hour or so it re-downloads it and try to install it. Only 8am, and its tried 3 times since 6am. :/
I really don't feel like loading a custom rom(kinda afraid I might brick it), i'm quite happy on how my phone is setup now. Other then this minor annoyance it never crashes or locks up.
Have you tried freezing
com.smithmicro.dm or HTC DM?
I have so many apps frozen that i can't remember which it was. I also don't use stock home, which freezing some services causes issues with.

Hello there, I currently encounter a very annoying problem with Google Play, of which solution is nowhere to be found:
1. Using stock ROM, Google Play becomes extremely slow and most of the time not working at all (Network error), while other applications still work well.
2. Everytime I factory reset, it works for about 5 minutes at reasonable speed, then the same problem occurs again.
3. Tried to reverse back to 4.1.1 but nothing changes.
4. Same problem with different WIFI networks and 3G.
5. Jelly Bam (haven't tried other ROMs yet but I believe they would) fixed the problem completely, but its lack of Samsung Apps and other amazing features (like Smart Stay, S Voice, S Note, ...) quickly made me reverse to stock ROM.
After trying every trick found on the internet (reinstall Google Play, clear the cache,...) with no success, and after two days struggling I am now completely exhausted defeated. My only hope is you guys who have had this problem before could help me fix it.
Thanks a trillion.
I recently had a lot of problem signing in, it turned out for some reason my WiFi and phone didn't want to play game with wpa2 but after changing router to just wpa and resetting all working again, I've seen intermittent reports along similar lines sporadically ever since s3 release
Did you try using proxies?

No, because I haven't got the faintest idea about that kind of gobbledegook as you well know

Yes, I did, soneone suggested 0.0.0.0:8080 but that blocks internet connection to all other applications.
I've discovered that uninstalling Google Play updates will help, but only for 5 minutes or so. After which time the problem persists again.
Now my only solution is to uninstall Google Play updates, (then the app will ask for updating at first run), install some apps as quickly as possible before the connection goes down again. Basically I have to repeat that process every second app downloaded, and that drives me insane!!!

That's interesting but in my case even 3G won't work, and the madness is that Google Play works crazily well in custom ROMs like Jelly Bam and like sh*t in stock ROMs.

I feel the pain, took me 10 days to finally get mine working, I did everything you did multiple times, exact same scenario, uninstall updates, get a connection, next time I go back to it,bam, no connection, tried different Roms, flashed to stock, everything!
I had something similar.
What I did was adding a second Google account, deleting the first one, log in, adding the first account back, then deleting the second account, and log in again.
Works for me hoops it's working for you.

Hello folks. Been lurking on the forums, grabbing what info and software and tips I needed for a couple years, but never had a need to post something. Now, the problem has been described already in the topic title, but I'll elaborate.
Somewhere in a period of 24-36 hours of being turned on continuously, my phone (a Sony Xperia Go with Cyanogenmod 11 running on it, but the problem was there before with stock rom too) needs to be rebooted, else I can't receive or send text messages or call. The text messages simply won't be sent and I don't get a waiting tone (or any sound for that matter) when I try to call and it'll eventually fail.
Now when I still used a stock rom, I'd see that I had lost network connection, but on the current Cyanogenmod build I still have full bars. This issue I then have to fix by rebooting my phone, as I stated. I have not tried setting it to airplane mode for a quick fix, but in all honesty, I'm looking for a permanent fix, not a temporary one. And this also seems to be an issue that isn't just with my type of phone.
I tried looking for a solution already several times, but all I could find that described my problem was this thread. I have not tried ordering a new sim card from T-Mobile yet, since that costs money over here in the Netherlands, and I wanted to make sure I had exhausted every possible software fix before trying to fiddle with hardware.
Hope this is enough information for you guys to at least tell me something. Even if it's "yup, you're boned."
Gentle bump. Apologies for doing so, but I'm fairly certain I'm not the only one with this problem.
I'm having this same issue. I'm running the latest stable build of CyanogenMod on Maguro (CM11/Snapshot7). I push my SMS's through Google Voice (using CM Voice+ which is now integrated into the systems menu). I didn't notice exactly when the problem started because I have Hangouts and SMS integrated in the Hangouts app, and chat with people using both all the time. I do know that The problem didn't start after a CM update, it happened in the middle of the day while the phone was on as far as I can tell. Since then I have tried clearing caches, updated to the newest nightly release, and so forth to no avail. Rather than rebooting, I can just turn on airplane mode and turn it off to get my SMSs, but still quite a bother.
Did OP figure this out?
Nope. I ended up having to get a new phone, as it was getting worse and worse, up to a point where I had to reset it every hour. I just assumed it was a hardware problem and got a new phone.
I did a factory reset / complete reinstall and still have the problem.
After the reset and recovery, I assumed it was a telephony issue and messed with the APN and data settings as much as I could, including checking and editing the default databases. No avail.
I uninstalled Google Voice and turned off Voice+ and SMS's began working with my SIM number. Bingo! So I started messing with Google settings. Log out, log in. Reinstall apps, etc. I eventually discovered that whenever I tried to clear the cache on my Google Play Services my Settings would crash. So i figured that I had a corrupted Google Play Services, which was preventing my phone from syncing with Google Servers except on reboot or connection refresh. I later realized that I should have been tipped off to this by the orange wifi/wireless icons in my Settings dropdown.
I couldn't uninstall or update Google Play Services so I just downloaded the latest version of CM GAPPS, cleared app and Dalvik caches, and flashed GAPPS into place.
Bing, bang boom... it still didn't work. Icons still orange, Google Play Services still crashes when I try to open it from Settings>Apps.
Not sure what to do next except maybe another factory reset, and instead of using Titanium Backup to restore, I will just load a fresh version of CM11 and not update it. ??
Hey,
I'm suffering some issues with two Samsung mobiles, namely a S3 and a Note2. Push notifications simply won't work reliably on both devices (lacking a data-capable SIM, I could only test on wifi, where other devices work like a charm).
I flashed with M9, then went to nightly, flashed the most recent GApps, and also tried push notification fixer, disabled wifi optimization, re-logged in via Hangouts, to no avail. Without a visible pattern, one or both devices fail getting GCM messages at all. Moving the device to airplane mode and back seems to newly roll the dice.
Wifi on those devices work, as I could ping them reliably, it's just GCM that doesn't work, visible in apps like Threema, but also in the Android device manager that is unable to locate the device, or the Play store when I remotely try to install an app. Putting the device on (unlocking not required) seems to cure the problem for a little while.
Having researched a bit, I'm quite clueless. As both devices IMHO are the same Exynos platform, and have been cleanly installed just a few days ago, is that maybe a known issue, related to Android 4.4 and wifi drivers?
Any chance of debugging GCM to see where the issue is?
Thanks!

Are you apply or modifying anything to do with battery saving?
Have you tried reseting to factory setting, wiping /system and /data (warning you will lose all data so backup). reinstall rom gapps plus those specific apps that don't work and tested it?
Thanks for your reply!

I did so before installing the system, both devices are a completely fresh setup, incl. wiping of system and data. I thought I had luck with wiping cache & dalvik as it worked yesterday, but today, once again, only one of those devices works.
Seems in fact GCM loses connection on one of the devices (the second one seems to work like a charm now). Removed Google account and re-added it, but status in *#*#426#*#* shows google play failed connection ev:1 err:16 net:1
No idea how to fix that though ;-(
If you have done a complete clean flash and not touched any settings im afraid im out of ideas.
