Has your S3 frozen several times?

My phone has frozen like 4-5 times since the first day I got it...

Nope.

nope...

Mine hasn't frozen, but sometimes have to turn wifi on and off a few times to connect to my router
Possibly found some info on the wifi androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/574442-samsung-galaxy-s3-wifi-problem.html

After 3 full days of use and having loaded and tested about 1.5GB of apps, I've not had a single hiccup.
So far I don't have a single complaint about the S3.

My phone is seamless. Every once in awhile though, XDA seems to be a bit choppy. But nothing else.

no issues here. had it sence monday been running like a champ. batery lasted 14hrs so far with emails updating every 15 min and surfing the net from time to time at work all on 4g . love this phone and wish it was unlocked

Has frozen once or twice, but I think it may have been on Power Save at the time. Have you used that feature at all?
Also, Apex launcher crashes quite a bit. Not sure if it's a compatibility issue or what.

I've had multiple apps crash on me over and over. Stock phone.

Nope. And I use it quite heavily too.

Hmm..the only app that has lagged so far is XDA app, and seems few of you guys had that experience too. Wonder if this is a compatibility issue or coz all of us are in the XDA app all the time:laugh:

16days and not 1 problem.

Straight butter here, I don't even think I've had a FC yet, and I've had mine since launch. Battery lasts me ALL DAY no problem and performance all around has been flawless.
I am rooted on stock rom if anyone is wondering.

MANY apps freeze for me all the time, and it's stock, and use atk but still same issues.

Why in the hell would you use ATK? That app was barely useful in 2.1, let alone 4.0.4

Nothing. Android has an amazing memory management system. If you must close all apps, hold Home, click remove all. Then hold Home, click Task manage, go to ram, and hit clear memory. This is only necessary if an app is rogue and causing battery drain though.

No lag here. I second the ****ty internet connection theory.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium HD app

i get lag maybe once in a blue moon. I have 7 mb internet which is pretty solid

What I've noticed on my N7 -- and what I think might actually be the issue, here -- is that the WiFi is somewhat fiddly. On my VZW-provided Actiontec junker, it's just fine. On my Asus (irony!) N-16 running TomatoWRT, on the other hand, it's less than happy; data connections hang, which shows up in the Play store as difficulty pulling up assets (images, pages, etc) -- which looks kind of like really nasty laggyness.
I haven't had the opportunity or the urge to diagnose yet, but the first thing I'm going to do is try changing the channel on the router, followed shortly by probably changing every other setting. Then I'll curse for a while because I'll have borked the router config without having made a backup. Because that's how these things work.

I have bought a 32gb nexus 7 from best buy in canada and wondering is it all the same ? Just don't want to end up whit a brick or anything

With every electronic gadget using Lithium-ion batteries nowadays, it doesn't really matter how/when you charge it.
Some would argue to make sure to allow a full discharge from a full charge from a battery calibration point of view, so the battery meter is more accurate. It wouldn't affect the health of the battery itself either way.
Things like memory effect doesn't apply to lithium-ion. How often you charge it and how much you charge it (full or partial charge etc.) doesn't affect it much either. The only 2 things that can potential kill a lithium-ion is high temperature and letting it discharge far too low to the point that it cannot be charged up again. Note that all electronic devices will power off way before it even reaches this threshold.

Read this in a different thread when i was unboxing my nexus 7, i let mine sit for a while on the charger before i turned it on, but it came charged already. So far i have not let my nexus drain to 0% and the battery life on it is great, it can go for a entire day.

Sounds like it may be a corrupt download. Unless you plan to remain on the stock ROM just unlock/root it and then install what ever ROM you like.

Scrolling speed seems slow...

I have been using nexus 4 since 2 days now. I am on stock no root. To me it feels as if t scrolling speed is not as smooth as I found it to b on other devices like s3, i5, note etc.
The speed seems slow whether I m scrolling t web pages or inside any app.
Anyone else feel t same....I think its a ROM thing. Kindly suggest for improving t same....
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

Yeah same thing I thought the instance I got my n4...scrolling thru xda and pages was laggy...
So I rooted unlocked boot loader and flashed pa3.0 and that problem was fixed...
I still feel like scrolling on my s3 is a bit smoother

It's a ROM from moles. Located in the original development section. You would have to be rooted with unlocked boot loader first.
WWW.nexus4root.com follow those instructions if you want to root

It's only the two of you.
Sorry.
But seriously, you'll probably not notice after a few weeks using the n4. I can't remember how my previous devices were anymore and just enjoy my n4 stock.

When I got my n4, first thing I noticed is that how fast it was compared to s3 and iphone 5 like.
But if your browser is chrome then I can understand the lag. Try any other browser. Can't be worse than chrome.
Lightning browser is the best one for the noobs.
In terms of apps everything is faster on this phone. You must be doing something wrong.

This is easily the fastest device I've ever used, and I'm just on a rooted stock ROM with a few colour tweaks.

I agree that t phone is much much faster but what I am experiencing is the lag or slow speed when I scroll let's say contacts, xda app, chrome etc. I hope you understand my problem....
And I feel that not everyone is experiencing the same issue.,..
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

My phone is the same way, and the touchscreen can be pretty unresponsive at times. I feel like there's a decent amount of occasional lag when I'm scrolling through home screens or opening the applications. Definitely could be faster, I'm considering an RMA.

I dont think its a hardware issue ....so need not worry bout RMA. Yupp but looking for a software enhancement ......

Slow Nexus 7..

For some reason my Nexus 7 is strangely slow lately idk why, but I want to know if anyone else has seen there Nexus 7 lagging? And if anyone knows how to speed it up? Posting screen shot of my system info.

Exactly the same here. Typing's hard work, and tapping icons or buttons can take a couple of tries before it registers. All updated and tried a reboot.

You should upgade to 4.2.2, make full wipe and start from scratch. Then you will see if lag is still there.
