While it's true HTC released kernel source, it doesn't look like they released kernel wifi module source, which may prove... problematic.

Thats what they did in the past and they blame texas instruments. Pretty much this release is useless since no kernel devs like deving without that source missing. It limits them a lot.

XDA sent me a One S, so I'll be doing some work on this. I've already compiled an overclocked kernel. Let me know if you want anything else in the kernel. The wifi is onboard the SoC and made by Qualcomm so it's unlikely the source will ever be released but this is not a big problem. I've worked with QC wifi drivers before so I know what the deal is.

Hi,

I am new to android and this forum so first of all, hi and thanks for all the insight shared on this platform.

My problem:

I have tried to unlock the bootloader of my new HTC One S as described on htcdev.[com]. In Step 9 I was requested to submit the identifier token which I did. There was a message on the website stating that I had received an e-mail with the further instructions and some code to unlock the bootloader. However, I never received any e-mail from HTC. I called up HTC but got stuck in some .... hotline discussion answering questions which were quite obviously made up for users with technical (warranty) issues.

Any suggestion how to proceed without the e-mail or how to get the instruction an required code form HTC? Does the e-mail usually take more then a day? It appears to be an automatic reply so I was expecting an e-mail right away.

Many thanks

You could always use stock recovery if that's what you want? ^^

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] rpmccormick:
You got to have root or your phone won't let you install a recovery. Once you have root, you can install CWM recovery via the RomManager app (free in Play store) according the the sticky in the dev section...

Note: CWM link in quote above shows you how to get root.

I've been experiencing this quite a lot

Surfing the net pressing home button and find the home screen reloads. So bit of a lag which is very annoying, until samsung sort this out with a software update there is a work around. Simply disable s-voice from.settings that's it. I haven't actually experienced screen reload since.

Let me know if this works for you or not.

Try this

Untick under s-voice settings the following:

Launch S Voice

Wake up command

Under application manager go to running select s-voice and stop all services.

Go to all and disable s-voice. This will remove the app from app draw list too, you can also disable chat on app too.

This should stop the app running in the background.
[Galaxy S III General] Fulwood Sedge:
My mate has got this phone has has also experienced this problem a bit as well.

I was just wondering when you say 'disable s voice' do you just mean just disable s voice opening when double pressing the home button? Or is there a setting to actually turn it off?
[Galaxy S III General] Tobz:
Yer had same issue, disabled see voice, all good
[Galaxy S III General] Deleted member 4238276:
I would also like to know this. I stopped s voice opening when I double tap home button. That fixed the home button lag, however, I'm still experiencing the ocassional reload of the home screens.
[Galaxy S III General] xath23:
Another nice side effect is it makes the phone feel alot snappier because it removes the home button lag.

EDIT: should have refreshed the thread :/ mattyt_491 was faster.. I don't think there is a way to disable it completely (without rooting) I didn't have any reloads since I disabled the double click. Then again I restarted the phone and it usually takes half a day or so to start happening..
[Galaxy S III General] riz157:

Guys don't get frustrated. As per thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1694508&page=3, just set the size of dalvik cache to 128MB and everything will be fine. My personal experience, just perform these two extra steps:

1. Use Nova Launcher or Apex, takes less memory

2. Use 2D rendering from developer options, It does not make it slow at all.

3. From developer option, limit background processes to 4. Trust me you will not notice it.

4. And yes, disable S voice after you are done with initial experiment. Its not useful for anything.

And my phone is working snappier as it was when I opened the box. I will update it after few day's use. Running smoothly for 2 days. Today is third.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Why don't I have this problem? I think it's be ause I usually check what's open and close things. You should go into deb settings and have 4 processes max to test if it really is your memory or you just need to reflash.
[Galaxy S III General] SidharthaXx:
I'm having the same problem.

Is rooting the phone and making these adjustments the only solution to this issue?

Switching off S-voice did work temporarily, but the problem has returned.

I'm new to andorid having just switched over from the dark side of iOS. Is Samsung likely to fix this in a coming update?

I find it hard to believe they didn't spot this in pre-testing the phone.

Thanks

[Galaxy S III General] liferider:
I too am experiencing this issue. Takes me back to the days of HTC Magic running hero sense roms.

Just feels like the phone doesn't know what to do and starts to reload all the widgets and icons.

I'm liking this new TouchWiz and don't really want to go back to the nova or apex.

Surely Sammy will bring out a fix for this? Anyone who we can complain to?

..

Just did the Svoice disable and it works a lot better now. Phone feels snappier and more responsive.

I also changed the amount of background apps in the dev options to only 4 apps, rather than a gazillion.
[Galaxy S III General] riz157:
Its surprising though a simple thing like this wasn't fixed by samsung boys in the first place. Can you imagine such an issue with iphone, they would be slaughtered by their own fan boys. Yet we have to play it down and make excuses for samsung.
[Galaxy S III General] johnboywilson:
I also think its RAM related. When I check my RAM i am using on average 650 out of 780. :(
[Galaxy S III General] SidharthaXx:
I'm not convinced it's ram related... because one minute TW can be super snappy, the very next it can be kind of slow re-rendering the home screen. To be fair I've not entirely spotted a pattern to it yet. However, I've checked memory usage in both scenarios and it's no different... I think this is something else.

I do agree that I can't believe Samsung didn't spot this in pre-testing... must have been blatantly obvious.
[Galaxy S III General] conectix:
is there a solution with this problem without rooting? because im very much particular with the warranty. the screen redrawing is very annoying. doesn't feel like you're on a quad core device.
[Galaxy S III General] SidharthaXx:
As far as I know, no. Only a rooting solution. Until sammy pushes a solution out to their phones.

That's the situation as I understand it.

Has anyone spoken to Samsung about this?
[Galaxy S III General] nativestranger:
Definitely ram related. Use system panel to check when I have more than 150mb ram home screen never restarts. When I have less than 100mb and continue using the browser, home screen restarts. Due to pure stupidity of the software design it quits the touch wiz launcher or my browser instead of the dozens of cached inactive background apps that aren't being used!
[Galaxy S III General] SidharthaXx:
Not convinced. I just limited my background processes to 4 and clearer ram in task manager... and I'm still getting the lag.

More experienced users have said it's something to do with the davlik cache.

Jut to add, I just restarted my S3. Reboot.

And I get the lag immediately on restart... no applications open. About 300+MB free... same lag.
[Galaxy S III General] Kiahnlliya:
I tried changing Dalvik cache to 128MB but still experienced redraws. Then I changed it to 192MB and that seems to have solved the problem for me!
[Galaxy S III General] ShiroEd:
Interesting...

I still get redraws too after setting my cache to 128MB so I'll give 192MB a go and see how we get on.

Redraw happens after launcher been killed. Is there a way to set launcher/program persistent? So it won't be killed by system no matter what. That should be easier and it won't have effect on the way how android manages killing processes.

Screen Reloading & RAM usage

Hi Riz.. Thanks for the information. It seems to be working... This issue is really annoying, as I was using S2 and never i faced the issue.

I do not want to disable the S voice..

Could you please let me know, whats the free RAM left in your phone.. My phone uses nearly 650 MB out of 780 MB. I hardly installed 5 applications in it...

I am not happy with the Samsung care executives answer in clearing the RAM all the times when the phone becomes slow.

Thanks in advance..

I flashed custom rom in the end so I can't remember exactly how much ram was remaining after disabling s-voice etc. But I think it was about the same as yours.

You must be one of the few people using s-voice, really I find it a complete waste.
[Galaxy S III General] biffsmash:
Nonsense. Having free Ram means you won't have to unload something when you want to load something new. This is the main problem with SGS3 and something that will only fix the Homescreen redraw completely when the ROM is smaller.

P.s my homescreen redraw still exists after trying everything but its very minor annoyance.
[Galaxy S III General] g4rvd4:
Wow!! Just doing this made scrolling, window transitions, menu transitions etc. smooth as silk!!

As far as I understand, this forces the GPU to perform these instructions.

Is there any downside to this? Like battery life?

Here is the fix / solution that works with ICS to keep TW Launcher in memory, and not killed off. It totally reduces redraw, although the occassional weather widget (possibly killed off)

[Galaxy S III General] shinichi_c00l:
Issues Fixed in XXALF2 stock UK

This issue is also fixed in XXALF2 firmware from UK.

The launcher is keeped in memory, so when the memory is empty and killing apps, the launcher is now excluded from it.

Also when you try to clear mem from task manager, previous firmware will make the Launcher killed too..

But with newest firmware mentioned, the launcher is sticking itself in memory and refuse to be killed :)
[Galaxy S III General] UpInTheAir:
I

I use that firmware and it launcher being killed is still part the cause of redraw.

I used system panel lite app to check the launcher "up time" and found it markedly different from "time since boot". Tested after 7 hours use.

This indicates the launcher HAD restarted. If it restarts, and it will redraw.

So far, with the services.jar patched, not one restart. ;)

Edit: reflashed my unpatched ALF2 CWM backup. Used task manager to close all running tasks, and viloa, re redraw !!

Checked System Panel Lite app (SPL), and indeed launcher it had just restarted! ie. killed off

Edit2: Re-flash patched CWM backup and used Task Manager to kill running tasks (clear memory). Re-check with SPL, launcher is NOT killed

[Galaxy S III General] mwatson:
I'm using XXALF2 and still getting slow re-drawing.. The whole phone is so much slower than my sgs2 which feels like to more superior phone. The sgs2 has so much more RAM available and just flies in comparison.
[Galaxy S III General] nativestranger:
This is unacceptable. Samsung should have fixed this annoying problem before releasing the phone. Sometimes when the home launcher quit I use system panel to view the processes and there are like a dozen inactive cached apps that I was not even using. The stupidity in all this is why didn't the os quit those unused apps taking up over 250mb instead of my home launcher which takes up 50mb. Why did it choose to quit an active app that the user access frequently instead of random apps auto cached by the os? The worst part of this is I never observed this with gingerbread on the nexus one or galaxy note. But three of the phones that I used on ics are having this issue.
[Galaxy S III General] CreekDirt:

[Galaxy S III General] Minoza:
Does this happen with 2GB version as well? What is the default launcher priority for 2GB version?
[Galaxy S III General] ShiroEd:
For those using Nova Launcher give this a try as I have seen much fewer redraws:-

In Nova Launcher's settings menu there is a 'hidden' Labs menu that you get to by holding down the Down-Volume button.

In this new section you need to tick OFF Preload Widget Layouts.

This setting says it's supposed to decrease redraw time but in fact turning it OFF greatly reduces the number of times my homescreen reloads and when I do see the odd reload it takes a lot less time to complete the reload.

Go figure!

Anyway, just thought this would help those using Nova until the dev sorts out a proper fix as this behaviour seems to have been introduced in the latest few version.
[Galaxy S III General] nativestranger:
Never happens with the US 2GB version as far as I know. Refer to this thread:

Hi,

I know there's a lot of post about the topic already, but so far I haven't seen anyone on Galaxy S III.

I haven't had the chance to root my phone yet when the problem occurred so no efs back up. It just suddenly stopped working. I read somewhere that it may have been corrupted because of the pattern lock which I was using but I don't really have any evidence for that.

I tried everything mentioned in S II forums except for GSII_Repair since its only for GS II. I tried the recommended copy the nv_data.bin to the sdcard. delete the original and copy it back again but the nv.log is telling me that MD5 has failed and it just keeps replacing the nv_data.bin with the default.

I already went to the service center and they will replace the phone in about two weeks :( but I just wanted to check with you guys if anyone else have experienced this on S III. And if ever kindly give advice on how to not get this problem again hehe.

[General Topics] Gigatrig:
Hi there,

I work in AT&T billing/tech support. Switching your SIM between devices will not change you from your unlimited data plan (and if it does, just let customer service know what happened and they'll fix it no problem).

The only issue would be compatibility between your device and the AT&T system. Essentially the system would show you using an Iphone with a Smartphone data plan (Iphone would have data plan under different name in the system). That would be a VERY rare error and, once again, an easy fix just by calling in if you had an issue with your data not working properly.

In my opinion,there are no compatibility issues between your device and the AT&T system.
