So before I did this, my SGS had been lagging and on at least two occasions totally froze me out forcing me to remove the battery (one time I was just browsing Google Reader and it stuck mid scroll, never recovered).
While it may have been a result of adding/removing apps and generally that playground phase of the first few days, I wanted to resist flashing to a new firmware and wait for something official to show up in Kies.
So, I'm still running XXJF3 which is the firmware it shipped with. All I did was:
1. Factory default the phone
2. Root
3. Install and run MinFreeManager (from the market - it requires root). Accepted the MinFreeManager default values.
So far so good, I have re-installed all my apps, and been running almost two days with no discernable annoyances and certainly no crashing (but like I say, early days but I remain quietly optimistic my phone has stabilised).
Basically MinFreeManager seems to apply and enforce better memory management than default stock settings. No task killer needed if Eclair is doing it right in the first place (which I suspect under XXJF3 it is not).
Anyway, thought I'd post in case it helps someone else out. The process for rooting is in the pinned FAQ I think, if not it's not hard to find and not hard to do.
Minfreemanager would not run at boot on my sgs,ive heard others report the same. Try autokiller instead if you have issues.

yea autokiller does the exact same thing but applies at boot too.
Try to flash WJG5! i have no issues with that software! i have been using it for 3 days now and it's very stable!

I keep hearing that some apps won't appear in the Market because it's not a fingerprint Google allows?
Anyway, now I'm rooted I may backup my protected apps and give WJG5 a go when I get some spare time and a Windows box for Odin .. (OS X here)
I could do with less apps in the Market, less for me to spend my money on
Don't worry about the apps. You can get them back easily. Just search the development forum for ". prop" and you will find the fix. Or search under my posts. One of them has the fix in. Not that I take any credit for finding it though.
Jg5 is the best firmware. Currently 0 problems with it.

Just got my GT i9000 and now rooted it... you say JG5, I read in these forums that we should stay on same codes as installed??
ie: we have xxjf3 so should only use xxjf(number) firmware..
Sorry for the hijack

You read wrong. You can install any firmware as long as it was meant for your model. The letters only stand for month of production. The latest non-froyo firmware is XWJM7, XXJFF is very old, like this thread.
So, i noticed all my calls were dying and getting disconnected shortly after the screen goes into sleep mode
that was a major pain in the bullock, and it was very embarrassing talking to the customers and getting DC-ed every few seconds or minutes.
i had to constantly keep touch the screen to keep the phone from going into sleep mode.
so the only work around at the moment is set to phone to never sleep
and sleep only when i hit the power button.
it's a weird bug, not sure when it started, it wasn't doing this before.
Odd I've never had that problem. What are you running?

Never heard this one. It might be hard to track down so maybe a factory reset to start over might be a good option.

But where's the fun in that?
Maybe try asking over in the Bionix thread to let those dev's know you're having an issue.
That's a new one to me.
Love the title of this topic. I feel the same exact way so often about it, though I've never had your specific issue.
*Losing data connection constantly (and no, NoBars doesn't seem to help me with this)
*Rebooting during longer calls (though I don't have this issue as much as some seem to)
*Every SINGLE download, be it Market or Browser is always unsucessful on the first (or second, or third...) attempt
*The fact that Google hasn't fixed these and other issues
Yeah, I want to shoot my phone many times. But......for some reason, I still love it.

It's not Bionix fault.
it was something else, but can't find what was the cause
phone is back to normal, after a couple of reboots
some App, no clue which could cause this though...
maybe Fring, or Tango
removed both of them, and phone is back to normal

this happens to me very often as well, but that's a separate issue
and i've traced it to be version specific of market
so the solution is to use an older version of market, or use a newer one, just avoid the versions that you are getting trouble with

Thanks for the tip. I assumed the Market version had something to do with it, but I wonder what the problem I'm having with Browser downloads is? I don't see a lot of people talk about it.
Also, sorry if I hijacked your thread.
Setcpu
Are you using setcpu? You can't make a profile where the phone sleeps below 800mhz bc it goes into a deep sleep

open titanium backup, press backup/restore, find download manager and downloads(right next to each other), press download manager, press wipe data, now do the same for downloads. now try downloading something, it should work.

Strange. I've had both Tango and Fring installed at some point but haven't had the issue you describe.

not using SetCPU
but i never had trouble even when i was using it
i stopped using SetCPU after finding out that i actually saved more battery without using SetCPU, than using it.
it also caused some minor lag, when switching between the different speed when set on demand
Yep, I'm experiencing every issue you've described here.
Hopefully we get a fix from google soon.

This post is not really a cry for help. Just throwing this out here. I've been having problems with this error message ([RPC:S-5:AEC-0]) that I'm getting from the playstore for about almost a week now. I first experienced this after I saw quite a few update notifications on my phone. When I tapped on the update button, none of the apps updated and I got this error message instead, So I googled information on how I can fix it and found out the following
1. Clear data and/or cache on the following
- Downloads
- Google Play Store
- Google Service Framework
2. Remove and re-add google account from device
3. Factory reset
None of the methods above worked for me. I even tried accessing my paid apps from my pc by going to https://play.google.com/. Unfortunately, I also got an error message when I clicked on the "My Android Apps" link. Take note that I tried doing all these with different ISPs so issue is definitely not with my internet connection as well.
I've already contacted the google play support group and I was told that this issue has been going on and unresolved since October of 2012. The google techs are stummped and don't have the slightest idea of what's causing the problem. They can't even give me a time frame of when this will be resolved. They asked me to send bug reports from my devices which I did although I know for a fact that this problem is not being caused by any of my devices.
I'm pretty much stuck with a useless smart phone and tablet since I did a factory reset on both and I'm unable to redownload all of my apps including the ones that I have purchased...
I attached a few screenshots from my N7000 and Nexus 7 and my PC as well showing the errors.
This is how google wants to solve my issue... BY RIPPING ME OFF!!!

Hi Manolo,
Thank you for contacting Google and keeping us updated on your situation while experiencing the error RPC:S-5:AEC-0. As we discussed over the phone the only option left to do regarding your current account is to wait.

This does appear to also be an account base problem.

Nope. It's a known issue that has blown up over the last few weeks.
This is the most active thread on xda I can locate, up to 10 pages and growing fast.
A thread started on Google Plus today about it as well. Happening across all devices and ROMs to a significant number of users.

Just talked to one of the google techs again today. This is really getting out of hand crazy! They have sent me numerous emails asking me to do the same thing over and over. It's like they don't even check on previous documentation that I have responded to telling them that none of the trouble shooting they told me to do worked. To top it all off, we started discussing about refunds. I was told that thier policy is they can only do the last 6 months. I have so many paid applications that I have accumulated for the last year and a half! A lot of the ones I use the most have been purchased more than 6 months ago, Then she tells me that I'd have to talk to the individual 3rd party developers and ask them for a refund. I mean, why would a developer refund me if it's not even thier fault that this issue is happening. This is all google!

In the same boat across multiple devices and very frustrated. Hopefully this is becoming a very widespread issue and will get more attention with Google's higher level techs and developers.
I was having this issue, and all the normal steps didn't help. I called Google, they were no help, other than to say it was a known issue. I tried removing my Google account, and clearing the cache/data for Google Service Framework and Play Store apps - nothing worked
Then I tried clearing the cache/data on Google Play Services, on the off chance that this might be the culprit and after a reboot everything is working great again.
Hope this will help some of the other folks who are struggling with this.
Exact Steps:
1) Open Settings->Apps
2) Select Google Play Store
3) Clear Cache and Force Stop
4) Select Google Framework Services
5) Clear Data and Force Stop
6) Select Google Play Services
7) Clear Data and Force Stop
8) Reboot
Why are you ****ting On Us Google?
On another forum, a poster had this to say about this RPC:S-5:AEC-0 problem:
I don't believe this has anything to do with what is running on the device...whether its 4.2.2 or 4.1.2. It's simply an issue with corruption in the Google Play account on Google's servers. The lack of any fix for this or a workaround is abysmal on Google's part. I have paid apps that will no longer run because Google Play no longer recognizes them as paid apps. I have wasted numerous hours trying to get this resolved with escalated calls to Google support. Basically, anyone who is affected by this account "corruption" issue is currently screwed with no fix in sight. This needs to get major media attention or possible class action status before Google gets serious and fixes this acknowledged issue they've known about for several months now.
​
That is a good summary of the issue.
Google knows all about this.
It's endemic and the worst part about it is that Google is ignoring it.
There has been one simple post by Google -- in March -- saying they were working on the problem, and then a one-line addendum in April to say that they were still working on the problem.
THIS IS NOT ONLY ABSURD, BUT UNACCEPTABLE.
I've tried every effing solution that's been posted -- and none works.
I'm sick to the back teeth about the crap that GOOGLE thinks I can take. I'm just steaming mad.
The sheer inconvenience and time-wasting is mind numbing.
Am I pissed off at Google. You betcha.
Do I scream at Google, What do you think!
How can Google sit back and do nothing about this for months. (And don't point me to the lame suggestions of a work around like: Clear the cache in the Play Store app; clear the data in the Google Services framework; delete and reinstall the offending account .... etc etc etc. I've tried every one and more. Even tried deleting the whole OS and reinstalling,; tried factory reset.
THIS IS CRAP AND GOOGLE KNOWS IT.
Setting up a new gmail account is not practicable as the Google user base has a huge investment in their Play Store account by way of the money they've paid to Google for apps which Google is fraudulently now stopping them from using.
The problem appears to be tied to the link between the kernel and the play store account. If a user starts a whole new account, then there is no problem for that new account. However, for Android's database of users, this is not a practicable solution as that base of users has an investment in their Play Store account -- not the least of which is in the value of the apps that they have paid for to date.
MY QUESTION IS: WHY ARE YOU ****TING ON US - YOUR LOYAL USERS - GOOGLE?
Another question: How do we escalate this into main stream media so that Google has to get off their fat arse and fix the proble? Any ideas would be helpful.
Looks like google finally fixed the issue. My apps finally started updating today with no errors.

This is NOT a time to pat Google on the back
Last night, shortly after posting my rant on this forum, I went to the app store to see if I could get some sense out of the bloody thing. Lo and Behold! It was all go!!!!
Now while I like to think -- in my hedonostoc idle moments -- that it was my posting on this forum that did the trick, reality tells me that Google had been working on this for some time and that the fix was in place coincidentally at approximately 10pm NZ time yesterday (12th June 2013).
Why am I being so pedantic about the time.
Simple.
Google, quite clearly, must have been working on this for some time in order for the fix to be put in place at that precise moment. The problem with this conduct though, is that they did NOT at any time inform its constituency that it had even acknowledged that there was this effing problem in the first place. A lot of good people have been mystified, frustrated, angry, confused and suspicious by this smorgasbord of crap that Google has dished up and even felt that they had no option but to eat the **** sandwich presented to them.
SO, if Google thinks that this lowly serf is going to thank them for getting rid of the RPC:S-5:AEC-0 bug, then they need to take their heads out of the arses and smell the real world, 'cos it aint going to happen.
At the very least I would expect Google to make some gesture to its user base to placate them after the harrowing ordeal that their incompetence has put them through.
Enough said.
Unless or until this rears its ugly head again.

Rooted Yet - No
MultiWindow - Yes
This is it for AT&T Note 8 LTE SGH-I467
I'm sure that it will be rooted soon. (I Hope). I got one a week ago and love it. I only want root so I can install Titanium Backup. Custom Roms are nice, but I just want to be able to debloat and have a good backup

I agree, I should have caught that.
The AT&T model is not rooted yet. The multiwindow feature works great. There is no specific forum for the AT&T model so we discuss it here. I highly recommend picking it up if you can. I'm absolutely in love with mine. It'll be even more awesome once they get it upgraded to Android 4.2.
I too purchased the AT&T Note 8. On the morning it became available actually. I too love the Note 8 and highly recommend it. Especially so with the bundle deal that brings the price down to $199.
That said I have found a few issues that are in need of fixing. Firstly, of course, is the ability to root so one can use Titanium Backup to debloat. But also many have found that the screen freezes momentarily randomly. If you want to use it to play games you will be disappointed. Also, every time you power up (boot up) the current version of the software resets all factory defaults so that 3rd. party keyboards for example are deselected and you have to manually select them as default. I personally have also found that the Samsung calendar as well as google calendar doesn't automatically sync with your Samsung and/or your Google accounts, you have to do this manually as well.
these are all reasons that I bought the wifi version; we already have root, there are custom roms/kernels, custom recovery, and since there is wifi almost everywhere, and where there isn't, I can tether to my Note2, I didnt see any reason to give ATT another dime of my $$$$
hope you guys get root/custom recovery soon, because a tweaked, debloated,OC'd Note 8.0 is nothing but fun!

I hear you. However, some of us who were buying new phones anyway the AT&T bundle deal pricing of $199 for the Note 8 as opposed to the $499 retail made sense. Yes, I would liked to have root already but I will live with the wait in light of the initial cost savings. Now when can I get a Note 3???? :laugh:
not sure where you heard the wifi was 499; I got mine for 350 at Best buy, and I think there are places selling at 325...
but yeah, 199 is a nice price....
Note 3 is a ways away, i think!
I'm sure you'll have root soon; maybe send a pm to Chainfire, and see if he is working on it yet...

I also find that Chrome has problems. I don't know if it's a Chrome issue or a ROM issue but Chrome seems to not get click placement right when tapping on the screen, especially when using the pen. You have to tap below a link to get it to actually fire. Very annoying. Even with the brand new Chrome 28 release a day ago, it still does this. I'm using the stock browser until this gets resolved.

Is almost certainly a Chrome issue. Chrome 26 works fine. The problem was introduced in Chrome 27. I'm sure it'll get fixed eventually. In the meantime I'm just using the stock browser. I didn't see it as a big enough issue to do something drastic like taking it back.

Last night's update of Chrome Beta (their second patch for this issue) fixed the problem for me. It will likely be a number of weeks before the patch makes it to the stable Chrome release.

Yeah I just saw that. Thank God they fixed it! I want to use Chrome rather than the stock browser. I hate that sites I open on the Note 8.0 don't get synced to my other devices. haha

Okay, I thought I was either drunk or crazy. I swore Chrome was registering wrong clicks and it would eventually just stop with the input all together. What a terrible bug - I too was forced to use the stock browser. Glad it's fixed in the latest release. Let's hope that makes it into the Play store sooner rather than later.

Is anyone else seeing a Note 3 Keyboard listed as installed AT THE BOTTOM of your "All" list in google play..... but not showing as installed in your "Installed" list? I am not able to find it anywhere on my device and Samsung on live chat said that they never issued a OTA with a note 3 Keyboard. This is spyware. I can not get rid of it. No matter what I do it comes back after a day or two.
Don't see that. Stock rooted mf9.
This crap won't go away. It keeps coming back. Rooted or not. I never see a notification. It just appears suddenly. I have appnotifier and it shows nothing being installed. I just appears magically. I hate this ****. Whatever it is is deeply embedded in my phone. I notice that when I do a wipe in recovery my data partition doesn't mount. Can you tell me if yours does please? You don't have to wipe anything just see if you can mount and unmount the data partition. Mine says unmounted and will not mount at all. I think this might be part of the problem. The data wipe doesn't really happen, and this Keyboard is in that part that isn't getting wiped. That is the only thing I can think on how it keeps coming back no matter what I do. PIT files and numerous firmwares, and nothing removes it permanently. If you could tell me if yours mounts...That would help me a lot. Thanks

I have it. On triforce. Figured it's a google bug or a remnant from a 4.3 "funflash"

I talked with Samsung. They said it is not a legit Samsung app and it was never rolled out to any S4 OTA or included in any OEM firmware. I think I know where it came from. Did you ever flash firmware from Galaxys4root.com? That is just a hunch of mine. May not be the source at all. But after I flashed that firmware I noticed lots of extra b.s. going on and found it. It shows on my phone, but not when I look at my play orders on my computer. Samsung said it's not really linked to Google play at all. That is why you can't leave a review or report the app. Try that and you'll see. The creator was cleaver enough to give it the appearance of a legit Google apps so that it will install on your phone without being blocked. Have you ever looked on your device for it? I can't find anything and my appnotifier and lookout never pick it up. It just magically appears once I root or allow install of apps from unknown sources.
Can anyone tell me if maybe my SIM card needs to be changed? Like is it possible that this Note 3 Keyboard keeps coming back because of the personal information or MEID contained on my phone? LIke, I did a full reflash with PIT files, and pulled the battery and did a factory reset from recovery before I let it boot. It still came back after about a day with no updates at all.
Would some of you more skilled people give me some ideas to try and maybe explain or suggest how this can be happening? Like is it possible that a new partition has been created that does not get rewritten with PIT file and firmware? Please... I want this **** off my phone! Any suggestions are gonna be appreciated and tested. I know somebody has an idea of what is happening here....Thanks for reading this.
Ever find the answer to this?

All I know is that I talked to Samsung via live chat and they said that it is not affiliated with Samsung in any way and a Note 3 keyboard should not be on any Galaxy S4. Go to live chat yourselves and ask questions. Sprint told me that I can get a new one on my warranty but there is a $50 surcharge. The Tech at sprint said it's not affiliated with Google play. It just has some of the API's to trick the phone into letting it install. I don't kow for sure where it came from. I've flashed so many ROM's and firmwares that it is impossible to pinpoint it. I got a feeling that a lot of people will find it if they look for it. At least the ones that are flashers will anyways.
I've tried deleting everything but when the new ROM loads and I look through the files, I'm still finding folders and files with week old dates on them. I'm not sure how that is happening. I'm dying to get to the bottom of this. Help me keep this thread bumped so more people will see it. Hopefully someone will give us the right info to get rid of it.
I see the same thing I'm on stock.

I would say they are full of it. That app is from Samsung. I have a friend with a Note 3 and it updated itself using that app. Now why it is showing on the S4 is probably just some glitch in there programming, or because they are working on a 4.3 update for the S4. I also have it on mine. Once the new update comes out for the S4 I suspect it will have the new keyboard and the app will then work.
Delete the Samsung keyboard lol. I did.
Well I went to the mall yesterday and a friend of mine has a note 3 and he has that keyboard as well, also the link on the playstore takes you to the korean or japanese samsung website. I am beggining to think is just a glitch. I also have the stock samsung keyboard removed and use swiftkey.

I'm certain that somebody has exploited the keyboard. It wasn't on my phone when it was stock unrooted right from the store. It only showed up after flashing back to "stock" firmware. In which one instance I was seeing lots of bogus crap going on. Apps where getting flashed right over the top of the little green android. In the applications manager you could see the little green Android behind numerous app icons. They all had a little something extra. My phone was doing all sorts of neat crap on it's own. Somebody had complete control of my device. That came from galaxys4root.com Flash that **** and you'll see for yourself. Everything was tainted. The play store, the play services It was like it was in a war, it would have two updates for the same thing showing in pull down notification window. One real, one bogus. The first time I flashed it, I just hit updtae on everything. When I noticed all the funny stuff, I re-flashed it and paid attention to all the updates. All of the Samsung apps were tainted, It would go back and forth updating and then updating back to the other. Thats what made me notice the differences. It kept updating the same apps over and over. That is when I noticed that they were different.

I did. It still shows as installed. I cut everything out. Even everything that had input devices in the name. It still shows as installed. When I factory reset it is not there for anywhere from 12 hours to 24 hours. My phone is fast as hell, scrolls like a champ and the battery lasts all day on one charge. Like 16 to 18 hours. As soon as that keyboard shows up it slows down, acts funny and gets laggy. The battery is disappearing like crazy. I have to charge it twice a day to make it till I get home. It might be a legit app for many, but I'm positive that someone has exploited the app and is using it in firmware as a information collector, and it does not go away no matter what I do. I'm wondering if it is in my efs partition... if that is even possible. What I know is that with Android, almost anything is possible. If you can think it, someone can code it.
