S3 new user ... So many bugs !!!

Hello all,
I just bought an S3 and updated it to 4.1.1 stock. I like this device but I am very disapointed by how buggy is the stock 4.1.1 ...
I currently own a Xoom running the stock 4.1.2 and never found a single bug using it for months.
I only use my S3 with stock 4.1.1 and already met multiple annoying bugs !
- if I set the Wifi to auto-disable when the S3 goes to the lock screen, then, when Wifi does re-enable, it connects well to the router but I cannot acess to internet. This bug does not exist on the S3 mini running stock 4.1.1.
- the S3 randomly reboot, it rebooted 3 times in about 12 hours.
- the email application has a display problem : the screen flashes black when I scroll an email.
- some apps crash with no reason : stock web browser, stock camera app ...
- the stock browser bookmarks preview is not available : all bookmarks are displayed with a grey icon instead of the web page preview.
- some features in the parameters menu has no effect, they just don't work even when activated : the feature which disables the screen when you're not watching it for exemple, there are some others which did not work but I can't remember which ones.
And as I am only using it for 24 hours I am afraid of discovering some more bugs soon ...
Am i the only one to meet these bugs ?
Is CM10 for S3 less buggy ?
Does anyone know when stock 4.2 should be available for the S3 ?
Thanks

i have 0 problems you mentioned.. try a reset and see if it solve. or just install a custom rom ( you can always return to stock in case of warranty's necessity)

Yes, I already tried to power off the S3. I don't want to use a custom ROM for now, I think for such a high level device I shouldn't have to. I can't understand why so many bugs could be found in less than 24 hours on a stock ROM, this is not serious from Samsung : they waited several months before releasing Jelly Bean for the S3 and finally the ROM is as buggy as an early custom ROM ...
This is a big dispointment for me.

no power off, but a wipe at factory reset
try it!
Settings---> backup and restore--->factory reset ( is the last in list, don't know how is written as i'm using italian language)

Suggest you have a problem and you return the phone either for exchange or refund .
- the S3 randomly reboot, it rebooted 3 times in about 12 hours.
>>> That suggests problem with the phone or an app its not normal behavior .
some apps crash with no reason : stock web browser, stock camera app
>> As above .
Twelve hours and you updated
OTA or Kies update or a self update ????
.. Any of those going wrong could give above symptoms .
Does anyone know when 4.2.1 should be available for the S3 ?
>>> No known date .

I am using the stock 4.1.1 release so I just did the OTA update, everything went fine during the upgrade.
If I am the only one to meet these problems it may be due to hardware issues ... Too bad ...

Not seen any of those bugs at all on ICS nor on JB.
You need to do a complete factory reset.

I don't understand why I would need to do a factory reset : I am just using it for less than 24 hours ...
That's crazy if I already need to do this ... Loosing data and reinstalling everything ... Please, not yet !
I am more an more thinking of installing CM10 ROM, but it seems to have too many issues for now.
I wonder if I just shouldn't get my money back ...

I also suspect you got bad luck and received the only faulty device in store.
Been using mine constantly for 10 days on stock rom without any problems.
Earlier today, I could not wait for 4.1.2 any longer and flashed this one:

Been using it also without any problems.

No such problems for me, I expect there was a slight issue when you updated. I would just reflash via Odin and see if that fixes your problems.

because,maybe, in OTA process something is gone wrong ( like some datas of application not compatible or corrupted during the process)

Might want an exchange as you may have a faulty device..

Considering you're having that many problems in such a short period of time, I think you should return the phone and get a replacement. It's clearly a faulty device. If I were you, I wouldn't bother trying to reflash firmware for it or anything, I'd just go straight to wherever I bought it and demand a new one. Good luck with whatever you end up doing.

Never had a random reboot on my s3 running stock. It has happened running custom kernels but that's a different kettle of fish entirely.

So I finally decided to do a factory reset. All my reboots / Wifi problems are gone now. But I still need a more time to judge this as my problems came after a few hours of use. Thanks to all of you for your advices !
Still, the feature wich uses the front camera to power off the display if you don't watch it does not work at all ...

Dude, return it asap. Mine also did that the first week before totally failing and getting stuck in the inicial samsung logo without possible recovery. Very high chances of happening the same to yours. Plenty of "omfg my phone's totally dead" threads around to confirm this, don't be another one.

You mean smart stay. Yes, smart stay suffered a regression in JB. It was much better in ICS. Slightly better in XXELKC Poland official stock 4.1.2. You could try that out.

OK, so this one is a real bug. Not a big deal as I don't want to use it anyway (I was just curious to try it) because I guess leaving the front camera working may decrease battery life and performances.

For now, since I did a factory reset, I did not experience any reboot. So I'll keep it.

No problems here, Factory reset (power off the phone, push the volume up + home + power button continuously)
Choose factory reset and you should be okay.
EDIT: Sorry, just noticed your latest comment.
Good to know it solved it.
EDIT2: Smartstay works here, wait for the next official update in our region (JB 4.1.2).

[Q] Anyone Else Experiancing Frequent Lock Ups?

Hi
I'm on my 2nd N4 after the first one developed a case fault. I had no problems with that one when using Minco or PA.
However this one seems to have a habbit of becoming completely unresponsive at least once every couple of days. The only way to bring it back on is to hold the power button in for a few seconds and then reboot it.
I will be putting it back to stock tonight and giving it more of a chance. But I thought i'd ask and see if anyone else has experienced this type of issue or knows if it's a sign of a more serious problem such as the red light of death.
Thanks

I did actually experience this when I'm on stock 4.2.1 out of the box state, rooted and custom recovery.
transfered to PA for a couple of days and reflashed stock images from google site. after going back from PA to Stock I haven't experienced the lock up/screen unresponsive yet. hopefully it flashing back from PA to stock fixed this.

I've been using my phone for a month with rooted stock rom, custom kernel, unlocked bootloader, custom recovery, busybox and there's no single lag or lockups. Maybe you got a bad phone. I hope it can be fixed though.

I have a rooted stock ROM, unlocked bootloader, I don't have busybox permanently installed because I use apps that require a 'unrooted' phone but I have Stephen Stericson busybox installer at the ready.
I've not had a single lockup since I bought this phone.

occasion sleep of death on my nexus 4...

any of you guys experience it? just long press the power button wouldn't help. I had to plug it to the charger and long pass the power button to reboot it. this is getting pretty frustrating... btw my n4 is 100% stock

It has to be an app that`s causing that....

Happens to me almost every time I connect it to my cars Bluetooth to listen to Pandora, and i'm on the latest CM 10.1 nightly.

SOD
I also happened yesterday and today, yesterday had cm 10.1 and in the evening I returned to stock 4.2.2 and happened again this morning. any suggestion?

My wife and I are both having this problem with our N4s. It's been happening on and off since about 2 weeks after we got them on January 7. I'm still debating whether or not to try an exchange under warranty. I'm not yet convinced that it would help, but it seems like it's only affecting a handful of us, so maybe it is hardware related?

Hmm hppnd with me too. Yst n today almost at same time. After playing with some apps or games.. Phone was hot..

What rom/kernel if any are you guys on? I recently got the SOD. I am on the PA 3.1 and bundled kernel. Not sure what's causing it. My initial assumption was the themes in cm10. Now I think it's the launcher in question or lockscreen.
I am using Nova Launcher with slide/stock lockscreen. Nothing really has changed that I can tell within the last week. I uninstalled all my themes this morning to see if it was that causing the SOD.
Got the SOD this morning at work. Had to long press the power button a few times to boot it up. This time I uninstalled the Nova Launcher completely and reinstalled. Restored my widgets and seeing what that does later.

Happened twice. Once with unrooted stock, once with cm10.1. So i think this is an hw problem.
my battery screen looks exactly like this after SOD: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=35139
in my case long pressing to power button boots the device. no need to charger or button combo.

Forgot I posted here. I forgot to follow up. It turned out for me, there was a bad browser commit in the PA build in early March. I since reverted to a working nandroid and flashed the most recent rom. For others,I suggest to backup your apps and do a wipe. If that doesn't work, then maybe a factory reset?

i realized my SOD's occur at ~13:30 (1:30pm). Uninstalled a few apps(dash clock, rotation widget) and SOD's stopped. But today installed Onavo compression app than, bam!, SOD again(at 13:30 of course).

Basically the stock stuff was crashing the rom and causing the sleep of death. Have been fine ever since I reverted back to a working nandroid and dirty flashed the updated ones.

I am currently using the new version of pacman and it happened to me two nights ago.I reflashed and downloaded sleep of death fix app for charging. But I want to be 100% sure it won't happen again because I depend heavily on my nexus 4 for alarm. How can I be sure?

I just posted in the Android issue tracker this fix for nexus 4 SOD that worked for me :
It looks like there are different types of Nexus 4 freezing behaviour, all being lumped under the description: SOD.
My device (reliably) SODs after extendeded USB charging the very first time it sleeps; never happens while actually charging, just immediately upon disconnection; and it never happens in other circumstances.
However, I believe I now have a fix. If I only charge with a QI wireless charger OR if charging via USB, immediately sync with a QI charger upon disconnection, I never (it's been over a week now vs. every morning before) get a SOD.
Try this if you have the exact same problem I had. QI chargers are now available on eBay for less than £4 shipped.
NOTE: if you have a different sort of SOD issue, this may not work for you.

SlimBean 4.3 Screen Wake on Standby

***TL;DR***I know now that 4.3 has this bug and it is something we will deal with. I understand the causes, but the problem is buried in the kernel vs the ROM, you can still read my semi adventure but I wanted to make this edit to save you time if you think I found an answer. Overall WIFI is a huge trigger for screen wakes along with shotty or chattery reception.***
First off SlimBean is pretty much the best ROM I've dealt with, so many options, faster then I've ever experienced, and sharp looking. I've been sharking around these forums for 2 years afraid to ever make a name and post due to my lack of knowledge. I love the search options for finding answers that this forum offers to visitors and I've surely used it to root an old AT&T Atrix 4G and now my current DD the Glacier. Now I feel as though I have a little bit of sense of what the heck I am doing and would like to share my path to figuring out how to make SlimBean 4.3 work for me. Who knows maybe this may help some people that have similar problems.
The problem::: On a SEMI clean install of [UNOFFICIAL]SlimBean 4.3 \\ Nightly \\ 22.08.2013 I noticed the Glacier in standby would suddenly illuminated with light although the screen was black. It was enough to light to catch my eyes as I was starting to fall asleep. I ignored it until morning then paid attention to it happening all day at work on and off constantly with the WIFI off and just mobile network, then mobile network off, reboot, nothing seemed to help and I couldn't bare the thought of the phone's screen just on all the time.
After reading threads about HTC's possibly having bad screen made from Taiwan I was in disbelief that it was the Hardware as coming from a year old version of MIUI, I never had a problem with the screen. Leading to the idea it must be a software issue / user issue in which I must of rushed the install of the ROM or it's a quirk in 4.3.
Prior to reinstalling the same ROM, I went with trying other similar ROM's finding [UNOFFICIAL] Carbon 4.3 \\ Nightly \\ 26.08.2013 literally was just released, also a super customizable fast ROM. Everything went smooth until I played music through headphones and the illuminated black screen was back. Now I'm definitely convinced it's the software so I move on to the source code of these ROM's ev_glacier-nightly-2013.08.27.
Ev_glacier-nightly-2013.08.27 Had no screen wakes after 2 hours idle on mobile network only. I wasn't in a location with WIFI as I believe a network with a lot of information chatter may be causing these standby black illumination wakes. Back to SLIM.
SUPER clean install. 1) Format SD card completely 2) fresh download w/ checked md5 of Slimbean 3) Full Wipe "wipe data factory reset" "wipe cache" 4) format/system & format/cache manually just in case 5) Clear Dalvik 6) And fix permissions since although I believe it has no point but it's just so easy to click just in case. Probably doing things double.
Here I am now.. Slimbean is back and nothing but the .zip has been installed along with updating Nova Launcher. I am waiting to reinstall GAPPS so I can first isolate this problem within the ROM itself. What I am noticing is on just mobile network 2g/3g/2g+3g I do not get the phantom wakes, but with WIFI on it so far is only happening about 20-30 seconds after the phone drops into Standby and at least now it's not long lasting, just a few screen black flashes and it's gone. The entire 20 minutes or so I've been typing this, keeping an eye on the screen it's been quiet. Progress is being made.
Now I have thoroughly read up on and used Better Battery Stats, Wakelock detector, and Greenify to help isolate problems prior to the clean install and am waiting to install any Google apps (play store) up until tomorrow so I can pay more attention to my phone and make sure it's just a WIFI wake lock causing the screen to illuminate black. Also was toying with the idea of installing 3.0.64 kernel. I'm curious as to see if it's not just the WIFI wake lock, but all wake locks that actually wake the screen. Once I'm ready to install the play store I'm going to start combing through the device using these fantastic guides and the aforementioned apps...
[GUIDE] The Total Newb's Guide to Wakelocks ::: [HOW TO] Fix Your Skyrocket's Battery Life ::: [GUIDE] Insanely Better Battery Life When Idle
My goal with this long post is to share my experience and also commended these developers on these awesome ROM's. I will post much shorter updates on how I fixed or found the exact problem. Mainly after searching I saw similar issues but not this direct "random black illuminated screen" problem. Thanks, and be sure to call me out on anything contained in this post.

the waiting game
At 9 hours from 100% charge, I'm at 40% battery with on 1.5 hours of screen time. I went through all my settings and disabled all sounds and haptic feed back. I have yet to install any apps and am running off the bare bones of just the ROM. WiFi & 4g mobile data were on all night with the screen flashing only if I used it then locked it with the power button.
Thinking I can live with these timeout 2-5 flashes, I start browsing the forum from my phone, put it down to get ready for work, look back at the phone as it is flashing black screen rampantly on it's own. Then it holds the black screen for a solid minute or two.
WiFi chatter wake lock must be doing this... Reboot to recovery - wipe dalvik - wipe cache - reboot phone. Now to test just 4g network, flash happens on first screen lock, but not as rampant. Hmmm. My next step will be to wait for full battery drain / charge then I want to try the kernal I mentioned above. 3.0.64 kernel.

Funny stuff
Realizing the Kernel I wanted to flash doesn't work with 4.3, I hope at least some of the 86 people that viewed my post got a laugh. Even the older version of SlimBean causes the random screen flashes and the screen on while charging even with the ROM settings for such off. WiFi seems to be the greatest cause. It's as if wakelocks are actually being represented as screen flashes since the kernel is so powerful.
I just don't want to use the CM ROM...
I'm going to dig around the forums further and type in different key words of my problem just to make sure I didn't miss someone already answering this question. Slim has all the functions I always wanted out of my droid and I'm dead set to make it work...or just live with screen flashes I guess.
Hope this is a comedy for someone.

only other link
I've found on the issue I have.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1148057

Non-Stop ROMS
1) SlimBean 4.2 & 4.3 Both have this black screen flicker / black screen wake / black screen on while charging.
2) Carbon 4.3 Had it black screen on while listening to music / black screen constant while charging
3) Evolve 3.3 based of 4.3 seemed to work fine, but I wasn't a fan of the larger Icons and screen, similair to CM 4.3 so I didn't leave it long enough to test...
4.3 CM 4.3 black screen wake almost constant / black screen on while charging... also didn't last long to really test everything.
I am down the river if I want this to just go away. I have installed all these ROM on a completey clean formated SD card each time
I'm sticking with SlimBean as it has the looks and reacts like I expect my phone to. After doing some more searching and after a little time has passed for more 4.3 development there may be a kernel that will work better for me.
Oh here is another dead end I've found... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2185747&page=3 [KERNEL] Fixed the flickering screen problem,CM10,CM10.1,SENSE3.6 4.0 4.1 That goes no where...

wifi
WiFi is the biggest culprit for the random screen wakes. I've just been living with it since I dig the slimbean 4.3 ROM so much. Thought I might pop back on here to make some closure. I worked on removing some apk's from the already minimal gapps I installed and will soon start a separate thread on just that. As long as after searching I don't find the same info I figured out.

I think you've got the screen flicker bug.
Try flashing the .69 kernel, it claims to stop the flicker.
Also I know it's got something to do with the WiFi. I know a little about it though.

I see you all over the place when it comes to Glacier threads. Today at work I was searching around for a download link. I read through a ton of other ROMS threads hoping it was buried in the comments somewhere. So far I only turned up and old thread with a dead link and a couple of other threads you mentioning to other people to download the .69 KERNEL which I am guessing the full version number is 3.0.69, if it's not then there may be my first problem in finding the link...
*edit
this is the main thread I keep finding, you have so many other kernels on there

All the Kernels in the Glacier Bible page you have been keeping up seem old. I'm nervous to try one since they obviously seem like they won't work. I'm game to try what ever and post on here my progress so if anyone else stumbles upon the issue they can guide their way through it.
I've been searching "kernel 3.0.69", "kernels 4.3 roms", "jb rom kernel", "4.3 jb kernel", sometimes including the term "glacier" or "MT4G" with little to no luck between XDA and just google itself. I always just find ROMS that just mention the kernel but have no downloads.

Reading your older posts I see that youve already tried the kernel.

I tried 3.0.64 kernel, not this mysterious .69 kernel you have mentioned. If you have a link or mirror of it I'll be glad to give it a go.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Found how you added the 2 kernels to the Bible page, I just flashed .64 again and I'm nothing but bootloops. I'll give .62 a chance since now I'll have to re-flash Slim.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
make the double bootloops with either of those 2 kernels. I waited like 5 minutes, restarted the phone to see if it would boot and it just stayed on the slim splash screen. Of course I wiped dalvik and cache before installing either.

Oh yes, I head that already downloaded on the SD but the name CM_SENSE made me think it was a ROM not a kernel. The .66 kernel link is dead, but the .58 flashed & works but there is still the flicker on 4.22 SlimBean. 4.22 is so lame compared to 4.3. Even if there wasn't a flicker on 4.22 I don't think I'd keep it. Those big ICONS are just too much. I think that's why I like Carbon also. Anywho...
My addiction to messing with my phone is always in conflict with work. As if I don't have enough problem solving to deal with outside of cell phones.
I am going to try out the recovery I see in your signature, Recovery : 4EXT 1.0.0.5 RC8, just to see if it makes a difference. If you have the same phone without the same problem I must then eliminate the different variables to find the true problem. I found a "how to" and am either going to put in the time in a couple of hours or tonight. Then I'm going to start the rounds of testing ROMS / KERNELS all over again and I'll post my findings here.
I appreciate the back and forth, I actually got a can't thank anymore message because I used up my 8 yesterday~

Living with it
I've been just living with the screen flash. The ROM is just to sweet to give up. At some point if there it a completely stable 4.3 I may upgrade.
On a regular work day I don't have any available WIFI, so I toggle it off then reboot the phone every morning. I usually get a random screen flash everytime I manually lock / turn the screen off and that's it. With WIFI on I get random flashes at random rates and for random lengths.
Playing music invokes these random black screen wakes also, I've stuck to my old blackberry as my MP3 player...I know that statement seems extemely wrong and against all sciences, but the 9780 bold works perfect as a music player. They had the long-press song skip in the volume button well before anyone added it to Android.
If ever I find the correct ROM / KERNEL combination, or someone else figures out the problem and I find it, I will post it here. This winter I am going to get more into understanding & compiling roms + digging through code so maybe I'll find it myself...ha!

Anybody else experiencing random reboots?

Got my 128 GB OP5 last night and it has been randomly rebooting on me while doing random things. I am trying to figure out a root cause and factory reset the phone again to see if I could figure it out as well but it seems to happen from doing anything as simple as pulling down the notification bar to activating Google assistant or just scrolling through my settings. Nothing seems to be repeatable as it happens intermittently. Wondering if anyone else has dealt with this and may have figured out what caused it otherwise I guess I'd have to order a replacement

No, works fine here.

i dont have OP5 yet so no reboots

No reboot until now but i can't pair any bluetooth device (Sony Smartwatch 3 and Jabra Motion Headset)

Mine hasn't done it yet but the wifi performance is abysmal, random pauses when transferring files, Facebook stopped while trying to set it up.

I have been using the phone since yesterday morning and haven't had any issues at all, not a single bit of lag, no apps crashing or anything. If a reset didn't help it that means it must be hardware problem. I would return it and get a replacement.

Yes, performance seems bad. Had a few reboots and WiFi download speeds are awful.

I've successfully paired a bluetooth keyboard with trackpad and a Wahoo Tickr HRM and both seem to work fine. The Wahoo seemed more difficult to connect but that may have been just operator error. I've not had any lock ups/reboots at all but haven't had the OP5 24 hours yet.

Quite the opposite for me as the WiFi is stellar and the 5Ghz speeds far outstrip the Nexus 5 this OP5 has replaced.

Haven't had any such issue on mine yet in Canada (8GB/128GB) *fingers crossed*

I've had the same as you -- Bluetooth Pebble & Car & Headphones have all worked amazing (including using AptX HD), and my WiFi speeds have been stellar (>50MBps download (Yes, MBps, not mbps)). My WiFi has not been cutting out in the corners of my house either, unlike my old phones and even laptop!

Got my 128 GB OP5 last night and it has been randomly rebooting on me while doing random things. I am trying to figure out a root cause and factory reset the phone again to see if I could figure it out as well but it seems to happen from doing anything as simple as pulling down the notification bar to activating Google assistant or just scrolling through my settings. Nothing seems to be repeatable as it happens intermittently. Wondering if anyone else has dealt with this and may have figured out what caused it otherwise I guess I'd have to order a replacement

Yes, it's an issue for me. I've been in touch with OP Bug Hunter staff, and gave them the logs they requested to pass along to engineering to figure out why.

Yeah it kept rebooting on me even today so just got off the phone with OnePlus and an RMA has been created for a replacement device to be sent. Hopefully the next one isn't a problem, I'll keep you guys posted on the progress.

Umm had phone since Sunday not had any issues but today while on a call the phone rebooted it's self and again 20 minutes later just on home screen , I'm stock latest build , bought from O2 store should I take it back and ask for replacement while within my 14 days ??

Mines fine no issues build date 13th June

My phone is back with oneplus now so according to them should have a new one within the next week. Good thing I didn't sell my oneplus 3 just yet

I had two random reboots today and one random shutdown.
All these happened in my pocket and i realized the reboots due to vibration from reboot.
And one time I pulled it out of my pocket it was turned off.

Hi,
Got my phone Yesterday.
Started seeing random reboots today. Running latest version. I also did an factory reset of the device after I upgraded to latest version..
Any way I can troubleshoot this? Could an app be causing something like this? I do suspect that this started after installing Snapchat.. But I'm not sure..

Yes mine started this after the latest update.

I'm getting random reboots about every other day or so. Would this be indicative of a software issue versus hardware? I figure if this many people are having issues, but many are not, the hardware may not be a problem? This is my first OP device, so I'm just guessing. Hoping if it IS a software issue they can release an update soon!

Just got back from O2 store replaced with new device although it's the same manufacture date as one with issue 6/6/17 so far ok but it's only been on couple hrs so to soon to say, I'm convinced it was since 4.5.3 update as didn't do it before update but while i was in my 14 day return thought replace it anyway , I did contact 1+ before hand to ask if it's software or hardware all I got in reply was !! We will need proof of purchase to continue replacement procedure , that made alarm bells ring so hence straight back to O2 as it's far quicker than retuning to 1+ , I'm currently on 4.5.0 and not keen on updating ?
