[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Randomacts:
Its just the fact that the XDA app uses 30% of your CPU while in the background doing nothing.. more while in use.. I force close it when I am not useing it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
what deduction method did you use? you're willing to accept that it's a RAM problem when 50% of RAM isn't even being used, but aren't willing to accept that it could be a CPU problem if CPU is working at more than 50% capacity? that doesn't make sense.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fmllc:
Why would the app (xda, fb, whatever) start bogging during use and not initially upon using the app?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
Blah the xda app is horrible. There is no reason it needs to be using CPU cycles in the background and I do experience the slowdown and eventual crash after a long while of use.

The older version of the free app didn't have these issues, but forget it I think ill just use chrome or tapatalk.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] flonker:
I have this problem with xda, although I HIGHLY doubt it's a ram issue. If anything, it has something to do with a unknown problem with the implementation of the HW on our phones, or Sammy tweaked something that's not playing nice with the xda app. Even if the xda app was only being granted access to 1gb of ram on our phones, the app wouldn't be crashing the way it is.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jjlean:
I can't even read my private messages or it freezes. So lame. It's shows down only after last update. Highly doubt the phone did it but maybe.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] flonker:
Might have something to do with the disappearing scrolling bar, don't worry a Cupertino company patented that today, so a "fix" should be on the way shortly. :D

In all seriousness, has anyone else experienced this outside of the xda app besides the OP?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hayabusa1300cc:
I use this app to show cpu, ram, proc load etc. Sgs3 fast reboot to close out processes. Works the best. I also use tapatalk 2. I do not have any problems as OP
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] cnstarz:
What carrier are you guys on? Is it isolated to just users from one carrier or is it spread out amongst all carriers?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] fmllc:
OK...well.I just replicated it using xda app...noticed 1.1gb in use. Cleared all apps from task manager (not ram)....ram usage dropped to .89gb but still laggy on xda and fb.....cleared the ram and all is well. Don't get me wrong....I am by FAR an expert l....just relaying the info as I experience it...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jiffy1080:
I haven't personally had any issues like this. Between Chrome, Tapatalk, Flip board, Engadget, Google Music, and other randomness I personally think you having an isolated phone issue, a ROM issue (I don't remember if you said what you are using), or a rogue app issue. Another random thing is do you have force gpu rendering on? I have seen and read some odd issues from using that as some apps won't play nice.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] myredfast:
I had a very similar situation with my phone using tapatalk , the browser, and a couple other apps. They would get very laggy after a while, sometimes right away. What I had figured out was that I had an option in settings checked, it was (settings---》 developer options---》 do not keep activities). As soon as I cleared this option my phone was running very smooth and I have not had the problem return. I don't know if this helps anybody or not, but you may want to check it out.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Iphony89:
Its not his phone, the xda app is a ram hog...idk why, use if for a few minutes and it takes up a ton of your CPU...and will eventually get slower and just crash, no other app causes this issue.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] jethro650:
I actually stopped using the XDA app for this reason, plus attached images don't show/show properly. Tapatalk is much better. But yeah, starts fine then after going through 3 or 4 threads lag then force close. Even on aokp with minimal things running, showing 1.3 gig free ram.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Has anyone mentioned this problem to the XDA staff? If they don't know about it, they can't fix it.

Where would one report issues with the XDA app?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ingenious247:
There is definitely an issue with the xda app... it's the ONLY app that ever force closes or lags
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Elite49:
You won't be complaining of 2 GB's of RAM when Android actually needs it for updates. You really think the Nexus is going to be updated to everything the next 2 years with its 1 GB ram?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lowandbehold:
Umm. Yes. Phones with 1GB of RAM will still be more significant in 2 years than your SGSIII with it's locked bootloader and encrypted kernel. Of course you need 2GB or RAM to run that touchwiz bull****.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
the gs3 runs touchwiz better than the nexus runs jelly bean...crawl back into your hole ;)
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lowandbehold:
LOL, so you think in 2 years phones with 1 GB of RAM will be insignificant? So the I9300 has what? A 1 year shelf life now? Fanboy clowns.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
no I dont, but I do think your comment about locked bootloaders and touchwiz was dumb...The gs3 runs better out of the box than any previous android device. Its been out for less than a month and development is doing quite well. The vzw model has workarounds for the locked bootloader, not to mention adam outleter is close to craking it...point is do a little more research before posting!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lowandbehold:
Well..I guess you get what you pay for, huh? A little extra money on your contract gets you a little more security for your phone. :good:

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Serious_Beans:
Dude he's trolling you just ignore him...he's probably upset he couldn't get an S3 lol.

2Gb of RAM will come in handy when apps start using more...this phone is a little more "future proof" than others. I would prefer the quad core over 2gb though because no matter how many apps I open I can't use all my ram lmao.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lowandbehold:
No not trolling. When someone posts a stupid comment saying that phones with 1GB of RAM will be useless in 2 years, that needs to be addressed. Upset that I couldn't get a GSIII? I have had an upgrade available for over a year. Instead I came out of pocket $450 for a phone. I could easily sell my phone to cover the upgrade of a GSIII and still make a profit. Yes, the GSIII is more future proof than a Nexus, but what does that mean when you aren't getting the carrier updates? And don't pull the rooted card, because we all know that a very slim percentage of users are using custom software.

So like I said, no one was trolling. Just addressing stupidity.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hayabusa1300cc:
I'm curious, y u mad?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lowandbehold:
I am really not mad. It was just a supid comment. Go into the I9300 forums and tell them they won't get updates because they don't have 2GB of RAM. THEN, you will see mad.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Jamin13:
It's a Tapatalk issue. Tapatalk will force close randomly on all threads.

|Trolling with a smile|
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] z0phi3l:
You're trying too hard to be a troll

I guarantee you the next Nexus phone will have at least 2gb of RAM, and the next version of Android will require that as a minimum making all current Nexus phones ineligible for it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KBizzle:
I have to agree with the op. I'm not personally blaming the ram but something just isn't right. I own an epic 4G touch as well as the GS3 and it is beyond me why there is more lag in places where my E4GT has none. Mainly speaking third party launchers. I have never given much love to the Tapatalk app. It's always been buggy Imo. I just hope something is developed to make things smoother. Even the Jellybean rom isn't any smoother.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] lowandbehold:
LOL, so you GUARANTEE that the next version of Android (Key Lime Pie as most would call it by now) will render ALL PHONES besides the US and Korean version of the SGSIII ineligible for upgrade?

You people call me a troll...but do you see these statements being made???
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aNYthing24:
Don't listen to them. I have an S3 but that talk is just nonsense.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] turbosrrgood:
That's weird, I have yet to experience even the tiniest bit of lag no matter how hard I pound my phone. I have even underclocked.

I will say that one of my favorite things about this phone is the 2GB of ram, I seamless can switch between apps with out them reloading and multi task like crazy with no ill effects. Things I could not even dream of on my 768 MB Thunderbolt.

The combo of the s4 dual core and 2GB of RAM is far better than the quad core exynos and 1GB of RAM IMO.

Sorry for your issues, but it doesn't sound like it has anything to do with RAM.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] flonker:
You losers are still planning on having the same phone in two years? <- That's a joke, please don't cry.

Besides, nobody's going to be running the next version of Android, by then Apple will have been granted enough patents and we will all be on iOS. :)

Let's not try and not get too emotionally involved with our phones people.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] droidstyle:
I dont think your trolling, just didnt agree with some of your previous posts. My fascinate with 384mb of ram runs ICS and Jelly Bean just fine, im sure 1gb of ram will be plenty for the next couple android versions. You will just be limited to how many apps and background services are running. I also agree that the gs3 tends to get laggy when 50apps are running and ram usage exceeds 50%. No big deal as i just use task manager and clear ram once a day. Some folks are way too picky...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] RaymondPJR:

XDA and Tapatalk (which it is based off of) both have force close and lag issues. Who would buy XDA Premium anyway with Tapatalk giving you access to more than just XDA is beyond me as well.. but there have been several updates from tapatalk to fix this issue. I think the latest one fixed it.

Do you happen to have a version of microbes lw which doesn't rape cpu on sgs3?

I have sgs2 optimized one (<20% cpu on sgs2), but it's not really compatible with sgs3 (~50% cpu).

---------- Post added at 10:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:53 AM ----------

It's because oems need to sell new hardware, as quickly as possible.

Your phone (or pc) is fast? Wait a month, and HTC/Samsung/Microsoft will release a new version of OS will make your superfast hardware crawl once again, making you think about an upgrade.

And yeah, Epic Touch with a GB rom is faster than GS3 in everything but using third party apps.

And S-Voice is still a huge pos - says it's dialing one number (work), but it's really dialing mobile. Vlingo is junk and should never been used by Samsung.

End of rant.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
A few, but nothing major for me. Camera just got fixed. The cell signal doesn't read right (I had no bars but got 1.4Mb/s down), but data works fine otherwise. LTE hasn't been confirmed yet. Bluetooth stereo is kind of iffy depending on the build. I think it works on the most recent build, though.

Really, as far as performance goes, I haven't had the problems I had with TouchWiz. It runs beautifully. Google Now is pretty cool, too.

I think he means without you doing something to the RAM (hacking wise) Correct me if I'm wrong...

If someone finds a hacking way, then so be it... Many will be interested...
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Halmo:
You can use that much RAM without hacking as I showed in a screenshot but android apps don't take that much RAM it's not that android is closing them before you get to use all the RAM it's that you have to be running ALOT of apps to even get to that much RAM usage.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] m3741:
Maybe an app you run has a memory leak somewhere? The system would probably report that memory is free, when in reality it is slowly being eaten away. When you close a bunch of apps, the memory they were using is obviously now free for use so things are good once again.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] diablo009:
Try setting the option in dev options under settings to not have any tasks in background n see if that helps. Maybe you have a large app/game that's prefetched into RAM cos you use it a lot?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drock212:
How do you have so much free RAM? Custom rom? Anyway I've never experienced any lagging in anything I can admit to force closes on both fb app and xda app but nothing else. I highly doubt it's a ram issue. If there's a lag just like with a PC its likely a cpu issue. Do as suggested and use an app that shows what's doing what to your cpu or just enable the feature to see in the upper right corner how your cpu is being used.

Well, I'm new here, if this thread is in the wrong place, please forgive me, I thought it refers to computer configurations, smartphone and audio effects, it would be a general question. Well, I have a very troublesome problem. I have a Droid 2 (here in Brazil, known by Milestone 2) and it has some audio configurations that I would like to somehow "copy" to my computer. In Audio and Media effect, devices wired stereo, is actived in profile stereo 3D, which is awesome. I was watching One Piece when came across a very good audio quality in my original earphones of Droid 2. When I watch One Piece in my computer, the quality is so different, and I was trying to, kind of, equalize the audio to make equal. If someone has any kind of, I don't know, "copy" some internal audio plugin of the android system, or if anyone has a software that does similar service on my computer, I would really greatly appreciate it.

Unplug your phone, then plug it in again and you should get a popup to "install PC companion" on your phone screen, select yes and install to your PC, after this it will recognize the phone as drivers will be installed.

This fails restart your PC and try above again.

[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] tcat007:
Xscope was my fav on previous devices, but doesn't seem to work as well on the N7 for me. It use to pinch/zoom every mobile web site, but on the N7 it doesn't. I'm getting use to Chrome, seems to pinch zoom well (but doesn't auto-wrap like Xscope). Pretty sure I have every setting the same, but still no luck. Example is Facebook mobile page, zooms on my Player and phone, no go on my N7; where Chrome does. I need to try it again, because I'm missing flash.
[Nexus 7 Themes and Apps] Roland Deschain:
Dolphin or Maxthon. Though honestly, I pretty much exclusively use Chrome nowadays. Google spanked every Android browser dev in the world with how awesome tab switching/handling is in Chrome for Android, lol. Every other browser feels like an old, clunky piece of crap by comparison.

I'm kinds confused on the way it works though. I see tabs at the top but when I swipe left to right, I get other pages but each page has a single tab. Almost like a new browser window. Seems to be speedy.

I tried Dolphin several times and just can't get used to it.

For some reason text just isn't looking as clean as in Chrome. I set FF to "Largest", and text still opens at half the size of Chrome. Also doesn't seem to pinch/zoom as well. Boat doesn't seem to pinch/zoom on many sites, and text looks "blocky". Not sure why Xscope looks and works well on my Galaxy Player, and terrible on my N7... maybe I need to root and set at 160 dpi?
