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.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

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.

Do you have the 8 or 16 GB? Apparently the 16 has issues when it's nearly full. I'd say wipe the caches and see if it gets better. Are you stock or running a custom rom? Stock or custom kernel?

16 and on stock

Mine's that way too... almost unusable, it was almost full, now with 6gb free...
Stock 16gb

I was having something like this happening about a month ago. I took that time to consider rooting and it's never been better.

I've never used any nexus I own without rooting
And AFAIK, rooting doesn't change the speed of the device, just gives you root powers to alter something, that MAY alter the speed!

There's an app that provides such functionality, but I can't think of its name.

N7 isn't in his list of supported models. Probably a very high risk of something going bonkers. Some braver soul then me can be the guinea pig.
EDIT: I have had great luck with the app on my old G2 though.

Here's mine. On LTE with at&t, gps, a lot of texting, and the Web. I'm running cyanogen mod 10 and I'm surprised that the battery life is a so low for a phone with such a large battery.

That's odd. Do you think the rom is causing the poor battery life?
I'll be at a function on Thursday, without a WiFi connection. I'll be on the cellular connection from 7AM-10PM.

you'd get much better battery life on a stock rom right now while CM10 is in such early development stages for the Razr HD

Flashed the JB Telstra Firmware to try it out and will see how that holds up. I'm freaking jealous of the 7hr screen time. I feel like my RAZR doesn't have the same battery you guys all do lol. That or LTE is draining it dry.

razr maxx hd, I find most of my battery drain is when I have HSDPA data enabled.

You should install BetterBatteryStats and find out what's going on.
This thread us only for RAZR HD battery stats. I have an HD.
You can tell which phone someone has by their signature. XT925 and XT926 are going to be the RAZR HD.

Interesting. I usually stick with the stock rom. I usually don't even root my phone. I rooted my RAZR so I could fully utilize Titanium Backup.

I'm on prepaid, so I turned LTE off. One thing I noticed in the settings was the default WiFi config is for it to turn off during sleep. My Note II was set to always leave it on.

It's one of the older updates i guess so the battery life should ideally be an issue and a lot worse than 4.1.1.

The 4.1.2 BTU update for the UK is XXDMB2 , its PDA is N7100XXDMB2, this makes it a bit behind XXDMB4.

I would. You might get lower battery life for a while, but this has the SDS fix in it as far as I know, and I'd MUCH rather be protected from my device turning into a paperweight than just running low on juice...
And sure, I could use a custom ROM, but I happen to like the stock ones. Serves all my needs perfectly.

Some guys attribute the increased battery use to the media scanner which runs randomly and drains the battery life
Also i believe that the screen brightness at max setting had been increased to like 300% of what it was in 4.1.1

The 4.1.1 ROM's have a critical bug that can cause your device to randomly just die, for no apparent reason, and it's not fixable once it happens. You'd have to return it to Samsung. This is the SDS bug, Sudden Death Syndrome.
The 4.1.2 ROM's have a fix for this, as do pretty much all the custom ROM's as well.
Personally, I'd much rather have reduced battery life and relief from the worry that my device could just randomly die.

Can you please post the modem version to this update.

Thanks for the info, i'm certain that is what happened to my phone. I was on 4.1.1 stock uk rom. Its been fixed by samsung now, just waiting for it to be sent back, they said they replaced system board. Be interesting to see if they have updated to 4.1.2 for me.
