I have the phone for almost an year without having any problems at all.
Approximately 1 month ago i installed a theme (from this forum) and it worked perfectly untill i decided to change it with another one (also taken from the this forum).After the restart the main screen froze and the touch flo was not active.I could only scroll the menu and acces it.
Also, i could't change the wallpaper.
After this, i tried a hard reset and apparently everything came back to normal EXCEPT: the internet connection didn't work at all no matter the settings i've made and from time to time a "dont send" error popped up. The error was : AudioManager_eng.exe.
After this, i updated my rom (from the htc official website) and had another hard reset and still NOTHING.
In fact i noticed other errors as well.When i tried to acces the mussic tab - audioManager_eng.exe error appeared, when i open wm another wm error appeared.
PS: i also had the storage card formated hopping to solve the audiomanager_eng.exe error (no result)
What should i do now? I feel like i tried everything ...
PS2: i am sorry for the possible mistakes
english is not my mother tongue. Also please try explainig a sollution in simple terms so i can understand step by step what i am supposed to do
thanks
please help....
Have you tried a hard reset to restore everything to default? Or removing theme which started all problems? When you flashed a new rom you may have added more problems, especially if you didn't follow this guide. Depending on what rom you flashed your SPL may not match causing incompatibilities. Does the screen look distorted when you start/boot up phone? Does this discolourization go away when you press power on/off? If so you have a mismatching SPL. Read and follow the dummies guide to see if this fixes some of your issues.
I didnt flash the rom.I had an upgrade .This one: http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533
And YES, i also had not one hard reset but 4 or so.Can that harm the phone?
Hi,
My phone was working fine until last week when the contacts list started disappearing without any reason. It comes back by itself even though I have tried pretty much every thing from rebooting, taking SIM/Battery out to checking all display configurations etc. Nothing is working. I searched for a similar question on the Q&A and could not find it. Apologies if I missed it and this is a repeat question.
By the way I am using original firmware and do not have any modified ROM installed.
Firmware version is XXUBMGA
I would appreciate any help.
Thank you and best regards,
Well, here is my story...
My cell phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 mod. GT-I9300. Locked for Digitel (Venezuela mobile carrier). Android Stock Rom version: 4.1.2.
Preamble:
I bought this cellular a year ago, and it worked flawlessly almost for 12 months straight. I haven't experienced any single freezing or rebooting problem. I downloaded KIES and the program detected that a new version of Android was available for downloading for my phone. Bump! Error. I should have backed up my EFS first before doing the upgrading. BACKUP YOURS, IMPORTANT!)
NOTE: Backup your personal data as well since any ROM installation will remove for sure your personal data and info.
After upgrading and a few days later, my cellphone started to act somewhat funny. I started to got some freezing. To be specifically, my phone started to freeze, the screen just froze and nothing happened when I touched the screen, pressed any button. The only thing worked was to restart the cell (by pressing and holding the POWER button or by removing the batteries). Anyway, the freaking freezing problems continue occurring.
By the way, the warranty expired just a few days ago...
Since I couldn't do anything to stop the freezing problems, I decided to root the cell and install a new version of Android not official for Samsung and test its performance. But before that, I factory reset my cellphone, but it didn't work at all.
I tested several Android version I could find on internet: cm-11-20140....-i9300.zip, specifically, the SNAPSHOT, STABLE, NIGHTLY version. None of that worked, I also tested the cm-10-20... without luck. In fact, the freezing problems with those versions got worse and worse.
Taking the above in consideration, I decided to re-install the stock rom version (ver. 4.1.0) the one that was shipped with my phone when I bought it. You can find these version for any carrier in the world at: sammobile
I flashed and I used it for almost a day or so. During that period of time, I could feel that the freezing issues were gone, not even a freezing event. But unfortunately, I couldn't connect to any Mobile Network!!, so I had just bricked my cell phone !!! I took it to the cell carrier company (DIGITEL) and they could not do anything since my warranty already expired. WTF ! I was alone with my own problem now to sort it out.
SOLUTION !!
By no means I mean this is a cure but I have just stopped getting the hellish freezing and rebooting problems, and I just wanna share my experience with you so maybe I could help you to get rid of this annoying issues for the time being.
Picking up where I was left off, all I had was my bricked phone and a working ROM: ver. 4.1.2, So I decided to to reinstall this version back on my phone and see if it connected to the mobile carrier.
I reinstalled it and of course, after erasing cache partitions and making a factory reset. The procedures to install any ROM on your cellphone you can find it on internet (for instance, youtube may help a lot).
After I installed the version 4.1.2. my cellphone could connect to the mobile carrier once again... phewww!! But the freezing problems continued to appear in the fuc# phone. Well, now the only option I had to test thoroughly my cell was to install any application one after another but testing if the application was the culprit for the freezing issue.
But right after installing the stock Rom, I got a error message when my phone run to the first screen (Home Screen): TOUCHWIZ stopped responding... it lit my LIGHT BULB! I searched the web for the TOUCHWIZ and found out reports regarding many problems with Touchwiz.
Holy craps! The TOUCHWIZ is a BUGGY APPLICATION that comes with the STOCK ROM developed by SAMSUNG.
My friends there is no way to UNINSTALL that application but to use another LAUNCHER. I fired up and decided to download KIT KAT Launcher. Well, I downloaded the launcher and when you first run this application a windows pops up so you can decide what launcher the cellphone may use and the time to use it. I select ALWAYS I press the HOME button, the launcher to use is KIT KAT.
In addition to that I disable various stuffs, follows (you have to go through the setting app):
Disable Touch wiz (delete CACHE, and FORCE STOP)
Disable GPS
Disable Multi Windows
Disable Swipe Lock ( I found my cellphone freezes a lot while this is on)
I don't use a lot of widgets... but only one: The Clock and Alarm widget.
So far (it has passed 5 days straight without freezing). My phone froze on me while I was downloading something (maybe the phone was updating an app) and at the same time I was texting someone. I am suspicious that there is something to do with the downloading system too and the phone that could trigger a freeze.
Anyway, if you have experienced the freezing issue on your Galaxy S3 just like me, then try what I just outlined and give it a test. But do not download a bunch of program at the same time, just pick one by one, and allow some time to test your application and check if your phone is stable before continue with the next app to download and so forth. I have downloaded so far: whatsapp, BBM, sudoku and other games.
Hope you can get rid of the freezing problems just the way I did, any question feel free to ask.
I will continue posting any advance with my phone.
FROYCARD
PS: excuse my standard English.
Flashing a custom rom would help with the freezing issues too!
Try temasek's 4.4 rom its a lot more smooth than ur stock ull feel u have a new phone
You also lost ur carrier signal because ur efs partition was read only or something so backup ur efs before flashing the rom

Nope,, it didn't work with my cellphone. I already tested it. As a matter of fact, I can name you all the ROM I flashed to my cellphone:
cm-11-20131115-UNOFFICIAL-i9300-V2
cm-11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2-i9300
cm-11-20140117-UNOFFICIAL-temasek-i9300-V36
cm-11-20140125-NIGHTLY-i9300
cm-10.2.0-i9300
None of the above rom I used stopped the freezing issue, that's why I needed to return to stock rom, and since then I am using it without experiencing any laggy or freezing.
Thanks anyway. :good:
Isnt it possible to create a rom with all of Samsungs bloat ripped off (TouchWiz included) and replaced with stock apps?
The problem is that non stock kernel roms use up a lot more battery than the stock one...
what?
i havent got this
Dude, you seem like a total beginner at this. You might want to start by trying a proper wipe, install a rom like Temasek and install a kernel like Boeffla.
Touchwiz is not the problem for your freezing. Get a custom kernel on there and try undervolting to lower the temp your phone. It may be too hot and may lock up.
You don't have to stick to roms available from your carrier either. You might just want to try any recent 4.3 rom from Sammy.

Yeah,,, you may be right I am a newbie... but since I stopped using TOUCHWIZ, I have experienced fewer a fewer lock-ups. I dunno what it is happening with my phone, but that is a fact. I am using KITKAT launcher.
The current stock ROM I am using is: 4.1.2 .... (I9300UBEMH2)
I am not familiar with undervolting to lower my phone's temp... maybe you can guide me about using it, or I could search the web for it.
UPDATE: I installed TWITTER Apps yesterday and each time I used it, it froze my phone for 12 min approx. Any suggestion?

Why should I? Are you a moderator of this forum?
Well I just want to update my post.
Yesterday I just wanted to continue figuring this freezing problem out. Since I published my experiences about freezing until yesterday the problem appears to have reduced significantly. I was using stock ROM ver. 4.1.2 flashed with KIES.
But I wanted to continue testing other ROM's. I tried to install a ROM named SAMMY'S ROM developed by guy named JustArchi (that I found in this forum). However I could not install it on my phone (SGS3 - GT-I9300) since it gave me some errors when I tried to install: ERROR STATUS 7
A margin note: This techie or nerdie called JustArchi gave me the boot from his thread for trying to seek help on this error.. so I trashed this SAMMY'S ROM and move on with another solution.
Whatever, I downloaded another official stock Rom ver. 4.3, released by SAMSUNG, intended for IRELAND - I am not from Ireland, but Venezuela (I founded it at SAMMOBILE under the top 10 latest firmware just released). By using ODIN, I flashed my phone, and to tell the truth, my phone feels differently. I haven't experimented any sluggish or lagging, not even a freezing so far (knocking on wood).
For precaution, I am installing one app at the time, and giving it time to see if everything is stable.
Conclusion: to any guys who is getting the annoying freezing, I think you must stick with it until your mobile carrier makes ROM ver. 4.3 available. Otherwise, if you are like me, wanting to work things out for yourself, download any ROM (ver. 4.3 compatible with your phone model) and test it on your phone. Before doing that, you just have to search the Internet for directions to do so, I am not responsible for what you do with your phone. I'll keep updating if another problem arises.
Note: since I am getting some rude comments from senior members who think they are too techie to read newbie's comments, queries, etc. I am not interested in their replies since they are not helping at all, thus I just ignore your lame comments from now on. Just scram.
Dude, you're really not helping anybody here with your information here. I don't know what you think you're sharing. The error 7 pertains to recover error which can be eliminated by installing an alternate recovery version.
I don't care if you're a newbie or not but you are spreading false info.
I'll scram now.

Great ROM
Hey guys, new to the forum. The best ROM I tried so far, took a while to get used to the many features that this rom offers, but is fast and stable, never had any problems with it. Though you need some basic experience to customize you phone using Phoenix rom, you'll end up with a device more efficient and great to use. I'd like to ask you one thing about the Ultra power saving feature (by the way is a great feature, it makes the phone battery in standby extremely efficient), is there any possibility to schedule this feature for example at night? It would be great to set it automatically between custom hours. I was impressed about how low consumption the phone has with this feature on. In my case during sleep, after 8-9 hours the battery percentage remained the same. Thanks and keep up the good work !

Not being able to check/uncheck "Restricted Background Data"
Folks,
I've searched several threads for this one and could not find the answer, so I hope someone can help. I've got the Phoenix ROM - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2349584 and it works great! The only issue I am facing since I got the ROM is that I do not receive notifications regularly when using data. I only get them once in a while. As soon as I switch to Wi-Fi though, I am flooded with messages. I have checked and wanted to make sure that background data was not restricted, but when I got there I realized this option was not clickable. It's there but I don't seem to have a choice. Is there a way I can get this one active or is there a way I can fix the issue? Anyone faced same issue?
Flashlight issue
Hi there,
Just installed PhoeniX 10, it's just awesome! Big thanks to tamirda
Regarding the flashlight issue mentioned by several users, I think I have it too. It has something to do with turning the flashlight on from the power menu. Steps to reproduce:
1. Open power menu and turn on Flashlight
2. Open notification toggles. Bug: flashlight toggle is off even though flashlight is still on
3. Turn on flashlight from toggle (now flashlight is still on and the toggle is on too)
4. Turn off flashlight from toggle. Bug: toggle is off but flashlight is still on (it can only be turned off from power menu)
The torchlight app behaves the same as flashlight toggle when flashlight has been turned on from power menu
Funny stuff to try: turn on flashlight from toggle and then turn it on from power menu. The flashlight intensity diminishes! Turn off the flashlight from power menu and it's still on, but back to high intensity. Turn it off from toggle first instead of power menu and the flashlight remains the power menu one.
It seems like the flashlight from toggle/torchlight app and the flashlight from power menu are 2 different things. And that the power menu one has precedence over the toggle/torchlight app one.
I hope this helps! I'm a first timer with this rom so I hope I'm not saying complete crap
I have a SPH-720 on Sprint and would love to get a couple of things fixed on my phone with this ROM. I read the first 300+ posts, then read the last 10 pages of posts and I don't see anyone else having this issue. So I wondered if someone here could help. Here is what I have done so far
1. Installed v10 ROM
2. No 3G or LTE data, WIFI worked fine
3. Flash stock NG2 KERNEL for Sprint SPH-720
4. Lost ROOT somehow in the process installing new kernel
5. Tried to flash SuperSu.zip file to get ROOT back no go, tried Towel Root method but said it was an unsupport device
6. Couldn't find out where to enter in APN settins. I went inside the Settings/Mobile Networks but there wasn't an APN setting, so I installed a third party app called Change APN
7. Gained carrier data 3g & LTE after entering APN settings for Sprint
8. The only other issue I have found is I can't send text messages but I can recieve them just fine
I am wondering first how to get root back, I flashed the SuperSu.zip file in TWRP but I don't have root after reboot. I thought about flashing the v10 ROM zip again but then I would have to put the stock kernel and then fix APN settings again.
The other issue I have is sending text messages. I have tried other SMS apps and none can send, only receive. Same with Google Hangouts, I can receive but not send.
Is there something I am missing? I am not a experience ROM builder, but I have customized my phones for years. I am interested in trying to get a ROM for one carrier to work on Sprint, and I have a bit to learn still. Besides these two issues the ROM is awesome and for me it actually is worth it to stay on it even with these issues.
I am open to trying anything, even erasing everything and trying something new.
I cannot install V10
Hi,
I have V9.4 on my Samsung S4, I have downloaded new version V10. When I am trying to install it, everything is ok, I choose what I want to install but there is a problem in last point of installation. When I push INSTALL, after just ONE second it is done and there is written than V10 was installed and phone ask me to reboot. But offcourse It is not installed and everything is same as before installation.
Please help. Thank you
First of all congratulations, great rom !
Bugs: in the initial configuration dropbox crash
Normal power saving bug: settings app crash when power saving enabled/disabled
Been using the Rom for almost a week and so far the experience is great the performance of the phone even with touch wiz is superb the battery life is also better. Would just like to post this short feedback and show my thanks to tamirda for the great rom.
I just have one issue with the car mode always poping up I might have disabled it incorrectly still trying to check on it.
stuck in samsung logo
im coming from GE 45. i used CWM and philz recovery but im stuck in samsung logo and not going anywhere. i thought it was an aroma issue and tried to install the ROM again without wipe but same thing happens.. any help will be greatly appreciated. thanks in advance!
Okay, so... I'm a noob at this. Apologizing up first if I somehow did something wrong or not properly.
Issue:
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5. About a year ago I managed to get root access and boot LineageOS on my device, and it was working just fine. 2 months ago I decided to try out resurrection remix oreo. It also worked fine... but then I decided to upgrade the rom... Instead of upgrading (by flashing the new build) I went into recovery (TWRP) did an advance wipe and wiped the entire system, data, cache etc... and just loaded the rom like new with Gapps and Magisk.
For some reason TWRP doesnt work well with Aroma Gapps... and I often like to customize what Gapps get installed. It took me a while to figure out how to make a gapps config file and where to put it.
So after booting the new os everything seemed to work fine. Except! Whenever someone called me, my touchscreen would not respond... I couldnt answer calls or even end them. I had to wait till the call ended so I could use the phone again. So I tried clearing the Phone app's data and see if that would help. (It didnt)
I decided to wipe my device again, do a factory reset. So I booted into recovery only to find my touch screen wasnt working again! I pushed the power button to turn off the screen and turn it on back again and my touch worked. (This was strange)...
So I went ahead and cleared everything again, this time I decided to downgrade and go back to LineageOS 14.1. and now..... it's worse.
The touchscreen goes on and off when it feels like it. It doesnt happen with just calls anymore.
The touchscreen would work but the navigation buttons (Recent apps and back button) seem to work.
and then there are times where the touchscreen would work but the navigation buttons wouldnt work.
sometimes both wont work.
I also get a bootloop issue.
The Samsung Galaxy S5 Powered by Android boot up screen usually loops for a good while and then youd get the Lineage os boot animation. Sometimes it comes on as normal.
I know you guys may need a logcat. So ive grabbed one. I'm not sure how to attach because I dont see any option to and apparently after 10 post, only then I can post links.
I also tried flashing a new Kernel but that didnt help...
Again I'm apologizing if i did anything wrong or improper. If you need anything else, I'll be willing to provide more.
Thank you!!!

I also used GAPPS Super package with a config file for custom gapps installation.

EDIT: Ive noticed whenever my nav buttons dont work, the recent apps button is lit but very slightly, the back button doesnt light up at all.

I'm just going to suggest something...
Have you tried the following?
1) Go to Developer options...
2) Then the Drawing Section (or Rendering Section)...
3) Locate and Disable/Turn Off the "Hardware Overlays".
It looks like many Samsung Devices experience this issue (or similar) and is, unfortunately, misdiagnosed as a hardware issue (though it can be Hardware Related).
Sometimes, without any "rhyme to reason", the device can get a bit confused between the use of Hardware or Software settings and acts like its in a "Panic" like state bouncing between the two.
The above steps just manually tells the device to use GPU for all/any screen adjustments.
There's no guarantee that this will work but, I've seen it work for most individuals who has/have/had experienced the same/similar issue.
Good Luck!

I DO NOT provide support via PM unless asked/requested by myself. PLEASE keep it in the threads where everyone can share.
Apparently it was already off... I tried turning it on. Will use it during the day and see what's up. Also I remember whilst the logcat was running. If I tapped the screen it would show something like "pause audio"... I'll grab some screenshots later.
And as for touching the navigation buttons. It shows Google input method anytime I touch the buttons. I'll grab some screenshots to show specifically. Have to head to work
Okay so if I touch the screen, log records the entry as
AudioService Stream Muted, Skip Playback.
Anytime I touch the navigation buttons it shows
GoogleInput onFinishInput(): Dummy InputConnection bound
GoogleInput onStartInput(): Dummy InputConnection bound
