OK so now I was in the app draw and hit the menu to uninstall something on it and it goes black on me and this time it did a vibration and went to locksceen followed by preparing network. The black screen lasted about 15 sec. Is that a soft boot idk. It also went back to original font... would changing the modem do this? I used Clark's modem flashing tool for sprint. I did get some dating apps from the play store also :P

So only the font in the settings menu stayed the same while everything else went back to default
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MontyPyFly:
I know you all don't like to hear "reinstall the rom and be sure to wipe factory, and caches" but that is usually the case with stock kernels. There have been issues corrected by going BACK TO the stock kernel, since not all kernels work the same on all phones.

this is also being discussed in the Morphology thread, and good advice from Stealer here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=38011829&postcount=1061

if you are getting theses "hot boots" and your phone is restarting on it's own, just make sure you have renamed or deleted Gsiff_daemon from the system/bin folder, or your batter will be sucked dry within a couple hours!

EDIT: You might also want to try a new SD card! there appear to be some bad ones out there that don't play nice with the SIII. Throw in another SD card and test it for a while.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dinkis:
IV done all that you have mentioned ,wipe factory and cache but I'm not reinstalling the rom again if that is what your implying, not yet anyway.IV been on v.3.0 since it came out without issues till now. I did have some issues though with my SD card so i reformatted it and it worked fine for awhile then it acted up again. Bought a new one and the phone never

Recognized it so i bought a Samsung brand and come to think of it I just bought it about the same time these problems have been happening

Plan on installing the newer ROM from Team Sonic. Currently running an older version. Have to do a factory reset & wipe. What will I lose from my phone's internal storage. Will i lose downloaded pics, gifs, documents etc?

Thanks for your help and answers

If they are on your internal storage, yes, if on the sd card, no... you can use any file manager to move them from internal to external if needed though

2.0 vs 3.0

JB 2.0 had small problems such ass mass texting. But 3.0 is too buggy for me...Ive tried going to 3.0 Dirty as well as a Fresh install and everytime I end up having to go back to 2.0. I would love to try 4.0 . Because v3 just doesn't move smoothly at all...From placing phone calls to scrolling through text. And this is on the stock kernel for all. Sometimes I have a problem placing phone calls on v3, it acts like it is going to call and hangs up immediately. And there are times when I have to turn Air Plane mode on then back off to get my data back working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MontyPyFly:
Very odd. I would suggest a re-download the zip. I'm guessing something got whacked in the download.

You aren't restoring any system data once you finish the install are you?

Might be a rogue app that likes v2.0, but not 3.0. Haven't heard of such a thing, but..... someone was the first with AIDS too :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] platniumrover:
The only thing I restore is my nova launcher back up...I went so wipe crazy during one install I cleared my SD card while I was out of town...needless to say I gave up all hope from there...And I do not post often because its rare that I have problems achieving my technical goals...I was running out the house early on the last post.

---------- Post added at 02:13 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:08 AM ----------

I do have about 1000 contacts and over 500 sms convos in my phone thou...Im going to delete some and see....But I cant see it making a difference between the two roms.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] darkness22:
Haven't had a random reboot until today on my morning drive... strangely enough in almost the precise location (geographically) I've seen it before.

I'll fire up LogCat tomorrow before I leave the house and see if it happens again. Wouldn't that be a trip. Also, in LogCat should I be logging everything or just certain parameters?

I'm on the stock kernel which has never been altered. Bought the phone, rooted it and flashed GS3 2.0 and subsequently did a full clean wipe for the install of 3.0. Freezas script was pulled as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
I am getting similar errors on 3.0!!! I thought that phone issue was my problem alone!!

Just flashed ktoonsez latest kernel. Hopefully helps. I am noticing better touch responsiveness.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] yowhatup:
What kernel did you flash? From MA6?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
Ktoonsez. I have ma6 modem. I was using stock kernel.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] darkness22:
Well, sure enough no random reboot. Will see if I can reproduce the error and hopefully log it as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Hamspiced:
I was running Freegs3 since december. In that time i had the most random issues. FC's freezeups and blackscreens of death after i flashed AGAT from the built in installer.

I flashed back to the stock rom, did a clean install and then i started getting the random reboots (i could of gotten them with agat and never noticed). I thought it was just my phone. Finally after the new leak came out i was trying to hold out for a update from team sonic. When it didnt come and i really needed to rely on my phone i ended up just going to another rom.

With the two new roms ive tested, ive had no issues, no lockups, fc's or random reboots. No odd Slowness and unresponsiveness. I could never recreate the issues with Freegs3 or explain why they were happen, it just seemed completely random. Once it happend during a call. One time it happened after a reboot, and i sat the phone down next to me while watching Its always sunny (great show) and i looked over and saw the sonic boot menu.

Definately an odd issue with the rom, I tried to keep it as a Daily, but i needed stability as i was waiting to hear back about a job interview. anyways, ill definately try a new version, hopefully this issue is resolved.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ReapersDeath:
Don't know if this bug was reported but started noticing sometimes smart stay doesn't go off until a restart. And no matter what I do I can't get ktoon kernel cpu to stick using k tweaker. Tried everything.

Anyways, any new update soon? Been awhile
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] darkness22:
I should clarify that the reboots I'm experiencing are not frequent and usually occur when the phone is sitting idle... hardly a massive point of contention. I'm still very pleased with this rom (both v2+3) and don't consider these issues to be anywhere near a deal breaker.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] shekinahsmoke:
Had a random reboot last night in idle. Time to reup elsewhere.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blauciel:
Just as another data point, I've been running this for 2 weeks, and not a single reboot. Only wiped cache and dalvik cache (did not do full system wipe coming from BlazerROM). Stock kernel.

So far I'm very pleased. Will be donating.

While messing with maps "my places", the screen went black, backlight still on, both softkeys lit. After about 30 seconds of nothing responding, I suddenly got a message saying "Android is upgrading" and the phone came back as if it had just booted, but with no boot animation. ADW launcher reloaded the home screen, and within a minute I got a notice that an Android Update is Available.

Is this expected? I hate that nuisance notification.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MontyPyFly:
It was probably the MB1 update to fix an overheating issue from the MA 6 modem. You can either ignore it, or you can make a backup and let it install. It will fail, but the annoying notification should go away
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blauciel:
so to actually run that update I'd need to re-flash the stock recovery? Or is there a way to install it with TWRP?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MontyPyFly:
if it is the OTA update from Sprint, you should be able to just select "update" from the message, it will boot into stock recovery, and since it doesn't exist any more, it will fail to do anything, but it will think it installed, so the notification will go away.

Or hang tight and check the forums, someone will come up with a flashable fix soon I would guess.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blauciel:
Yeah, I'm hoping it stays away, but when I was running Blazer, the update inevitably came back next time I restarted.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DraggyWan:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] evoer:
Huh? it says "You know what would be even better? FreeGS3 v 4.0. Is an update in the works? " clearly the same thing. If you have checked around here you would know asking for eta's is inapropriate...hence the replies
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DraggyWan:
LOL. Wrong person buddy...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] blauciel:
Let's not bicker and argue over who killed who... This is a 'appy occasion!

Seriously, the main point is we can wonder all we want, but these devs are already doing great work for us, with very little recompense or reward. So simply say thanks, be silently patient. There's nothing wrong with actually wondering, but stating openly that you're wondering - whether you intend it to or not - comes across as a thinly veiled request for a time frame and it also applies some pressure to the devs. They already have enough of real life to deal with to be disrespected, however slightly, with requests/pressure (again, intended or not) for updates and time frames.

So, whether you intend it to or not, it sounds like you're asking for a release date. So please just try to avoid stuff like that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] clark44:
Come on guys lets just drop this. I don't mind when people ask for OTA's but I cant give them out because there are unlimited variables that could effect the release date. Lets just all get along and wait for the next big thing ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] DraggyWan:
Wondering isn't harming anyone whatsoever tho nor is it putting pressure or disrespecting anyone. Thoughts are meant to be openly expressed, not kept yourself. It was a simple statement and you just happened to of interpreted it wrong.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] MontyPyFly:
Yes it's normal, ignore it, or buy the Pro version where you can get your old ID back. (shouldn't be much of an issue, unless you have purchases or something that rely on that old number.)

But the Pro version automatically restores everything without user interaction, which beats the heck out of hitting "Install" for every app you have backed up!

I did try it but it didn't seem to work. It didn't show the triangle roaming signal and also the signal strength seemed unchanged. You definitely have got me curious to try it again.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slow27:
So i was getting an "assert failed error 7" install with the MA6 update going back to stock recovery. did some searching and i found in this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1945938) that it seems like a universal error with apps. and that you need to get the stock rom for your device and grab those files from /system/app and just copy them over and it should let you go ahead and update through stock recovery.

my specific app that was giving me the error was "AccuweatherDaemon.odex". i looked through the freegs3 zip to see if the file was in there but it wasnt.

does anyone know where i can get the stock rom for the gs3?

edit 2:20pm PST

answered my own question. found the rom here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1904099). downloaded and replaced the accuweatherdaemon.odex. went back into stock recovery and tried to update with the official OTA update. got the same error. going to install CWM through "rom manager" in the market and flash the zip in that thread since its laready mb1. will come back with results.

edit 3.03pm PST

just did a CWM install of this mb1 file in the thread linked previously. worked like a charm. didnt lose anything and baseband is updated. just make sure you follow steps and flash the root.zip before rebooting to keep root.

edit 3:39pm PST

well that didnt work out right. did a reinstall of freegs3 after i updated with the other stuff and rebooted into freegs3, tons of apps and processes ended or werent working correctly and stopped. was in a pause loop with pressing "ok" on everything that stopped or ended. just reflashed the zip from that mb1 zip. gonna stick to this stock flash until v4 comes out. cant stand the over heating issue with ridiculous battery drain.
