A second is a very short time... How long is your second compared to my second?

I'm sorry I should have used better language. I meant that it takes some time to load as in 5-10 seconds as in it used to take much shorter time to load an app. I could be crazy and just thinking it's longer, I just wanted some general consistent or assistance.

Pandora slow

Is any one having issue with Pandora app? It takes some times about 3 minutes to load the station. I am on the latest version, now. Its ridiculously slow.
Mine is working fine. Did you just install an update? Try restarting your phone.
Or it could be the caps...
Nope its been like this after the upgrade to a new version. What do you mean caps???

They're asking if you hit your data cap to where they throttle your speed down. I can say that if I'm in an Edge area that it takes forever for it to load but very quick in a 4G area.
I think it might have been it. I was almost at 3GB at the end of my billing. Now a new started and everything loads fast.

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.

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

Sorry but could u pls tell me a little about pa3.0. Noob here

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 ......

My data is really horrible

I'm in Houston Texas on T-Mobile.
It seems it takes a long time to connext to something. Web browsing is ok and instagram takes forever to load pics. I have full bars when this is happening and sometimes on 3g and sometimes on hspa.
I am wondering if the phone is defective or the service is that ****ty
I used to be on tmobile went to Verizon and came back to tmobile.
Vz is way more expensive but now I see why.

Seems like you already made up your mind that it is the service.

Have you tried tmobiles LTE here in Htown? It is better than decent. Ive been using it since they flipped the switch and I must say that the last couple of weeks has been kinda wonky... Hopefully they are just trying to work out the bugs.
Likely the network is clogged. It happens on verizon too like this:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a-VVwPqhXw
Actually, I have a similar issue where if I don't use data for like ten seconds and I try to use it, there's a long delay (long enough to cause a loss of connection on the game Word feud) in which it comes back after like 5-10 seconds. I think that's called latency? I'm not sure and wanted to know if there's a way to fix that lag. Thanks in advance.

Its gotten progressively worse here by the reliant. Its worse than edge speeds even though I'll have full bars. Its annoying to have to carry around my VZW hotspot all the time. It didn't used to be this bad. Maybe its the influx of new iPhone users. Grrrr

No problems here in Tampa Florida. I regularly get approximately 20mbps down all the time except for peak hours, then its usually still around 15 or so. Hope you figure it out.

Yea I mean when I first got the phone it was fine and it just keeps getting worse. Idk I was thinking maybe if it was a setting.

Google Services battery usage

I've had this phone for just under a week. I'm rooted, but running stock. Is Google Services supposed to be using this much battery (more than the screen)? The screen had 2 hours and 44 minutes.
Thanks for any assistance!

My Android System uses #1. I guess they are glitches. Samsung Link was using #2 until I disabled it.

Yeah, now today Google services is way down from where it was. Strange. I guess I'll just keep an eye on it. My battery life is still amazing...

I noticed the same thing the first couple of days I had the phone and then it stopped. Possible uploading backups to google?
I never had the issue just like many of you dont see this Android System taking up all the cpu. I wonder if that's caused by me having my GPS on and set to show my location at all times so my close friends can locate me.
