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.

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.

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.

So I have had good battery from my note 2 - recently got a s4 love it! But 65 percent of the battery is used by the screen on automatic battery. I had a custom ROM it said the screen was taking a smaller percentage of my screen. Is this a fact or was I dreaming?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
The screen using the battery is because of you, the user. When the screen is off, it uses no battery. When it is on, it is using battery.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using xda premium
It all depends on the user...heres some tips ive learned to lower that precentage:
1) lower brightness (I know obvious)
2) use dark themes/wallpapers (lighter colors use up kore battery than dark ones on amoled screen...and I believe pure black actualy turns off the pixels, so a pure black background may help)
Ehh thats actually all I can think of...thought I had more lol

But I don't understand. I had the note 2 and had auto brightness because I want to see the phone in the day light. It never had 62 percent or 50 whatever percent using the screen. With a custom ROM I had more battery with clean rom

It depends on your usage. I am pretty sure that your daily usage is not the same. You do not get any screen usage with the screen turned off. Screen usage comes into play when the screen is on. For instance, yesterday, my screen took up 60% of my total usage. Today it was at 45%. A custom ROM has little to do with how the screen works.
Auto brightness varies as well... Too many factors that has nothing to do with the ROM. It is all user based.

Alright. Well, it said using auto brightness could save battery usage. But sometimes I have the save battery option on. Thought I'm not sure it helps more. I actually went to try and look for a post about " better battery stats" but for some odd reason, when going to it using my phone, it lags ridiculously bad! I haven't gone on a computer to see if it was in fact my phone. But, all other posts and topics are fine
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda premium
The screen will always be number one user unless you didn't use your phone that day.
Like other people said, darker (black) themes. Set the time out really short and turn on Smart Screen. Auto brightness works fine for me, or you can manually turn it lower.

Hi, i've got my hands on a Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 running 4.2.2 MH6. Im updating it at the moment. but it reboots atleast 2 to 3 times a day. for no reason? it's not modded but AVG is installed. could that be the problem?
Can you make screenshots about your app launcher and sys info? Looks like some strange apps led to that. Or you can try to flash a Perseus kernel(or Adam,up to u).

Updated it to 4.3 but the problems are still there, it's under warranty. i noticed now that there was another problem. Network signal goes off then after some seconds it reboots as well. Should i turn it in again? it was just in for screen replacement! problems started after the screen was replaced! no problems before! it's a freind of mine that has this phone! and no he isn't going to mod his phone.
Anyone?

As already mentioned in other threads it's most likely that's the battery that needs to be changed due to a series of bad batteries that was shipped with the galaxy S4.
try it out with another battery and your problem will be solved

Does everyone phone over heat and lags in games after playing more than 3 min with the phone on KitKat, or is it just me?

I'm currently running 4.4.2 rooted, custom rom and custom kernel. But even before I rooted and went custom it was fine.
Now please understand I play alot!!!!!! I also use a bumper type case and still have not noticed any issues with game play. Except for some, not excessive, heat with prolonged gaming.

I've read that thread twice, tried to disable the Samsung DVFS, tried formating the phone, still no luck.
Right now I've played the amazing spiderman 2, and the phone got so hot I could not touch it for about 5 min and lags continue...
Is there something us, the users, can do with it?

Hhhh it's ok man, no harm no fault.
Yes, there are another games such as :Frontline 2 (that's free if i'm not mistaken), PvZ2, Real Racing 3, FIFA 14 etc etc...
In my opinion, I don't think it's the games problem, nor the Developers behind them. I think it's the KK problem... In 4.3 I didn't have any of those issues.... Shame I can't downgrade...
What rom/kernel you using? I want to try that since I already voided my warranty a month after I bought the phone and the shi**y Uncle Sammy ( ) wasn't gonna take responsibility for he's problems...

OK I'm downloading front line 2 now. When how do you notice the lag?
Regarding heat issues if I play pvz2 for a prolonged time then it does get hot. Not as bad as my old hd2 used to get when I literally couldn't touch it. But it does get hot mainly noticeable from the screen.

It gets hot after about 5-6 min of play, I can't touch it after 10+ min.
In the Amazing Spider man 2, I can't touch it after 5 min.
Real racing 3, after about 6 min.
And so on, so on...

I have also noticed that when I activate Power Saving Mode with the CPU Underclock, it's not getting hot very quick, just warm...
OK I've tried that game, front line 2, for about 10 minutes. Got bored with it tbh. So moved onto playing asphalt 8 then pvz2 for a good half hour.
Now the screen does get warm/hot but not so that I can't touch it. I noticed zero lag.
It is possible that as I'm using a custom kernel that has had the governor settings altered that this has under clocked/volted my phone so it's less noticeable than yours. Of course this is a balancing act if you under clock it too much it could lag. If you over it it'll heat up too much.
