[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JAYNO20:
most annoying thing on this phone... This thing is perfect otherwise, it really kills the speed of the phone when widgets are redrawing all the time...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Not sure what is being referenced - my WeatherBug, Simple Calendar and Google Search widgets don't flicker or refresh when I switch back to the Home screen (or, to whichever screen I have widgets on).

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DROID3R:
This was the main reason that pushed me towards rooting and custom roming.

Couldnt handle the constant redrawing. i guess 2GB of ram wasnt enough

Dont thank/like/rep my posts or ill report you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] eman3316@optonline.net:
I do not run the TW launcher but did you guys try disabling the the double tap home button to open up s-voice. I think this is on by default and I think I remember reading a while ago that this caused lag going back to the launcher. Maybe worth a shot to see if it helps.

Without the ability to re-size all widgets in the TW launcher it is kind of a useless launcher to me. I use Apex and the ability to theme the dockbars and everything make it even better then Nova for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x714x:
I dont have this issue like this. As Eman said open s voice and goto settings and uncheck "open via the home key". When you hit the home key it waits a tad for you to hit it again to activate svoice.

Also goto settings developer options and change the animations from 1.0 to 0.5 or off. I run them on off, gets rid of lag.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] MrPeter1985:
I had this issue when I turned off animation and transition, when I turned them back on they don't do it anymore.

Also the dev option "do not keep background activities" will cause this too. If you are using Power Saving, the "screen power saving" option lowers the refresh rate of the screen, Disable it if your using powersaver.

My 2 cents.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
Dude your a genius. Just sped up stock to as fast as aosp. S voice is def the primary cause though. Thanks dude!!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JAYNO20:
I run those exact settings but still get the redraw after exiting some apps...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JAYNO20:
With animations on 0.5 the redraw is there. With animations off it works well. Any idea how to accomplish this without turning animations off?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JAYNO20:
Never mind it still does it even with animations off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jkat797:
I think people don't understand that isn't lag going into the home screen. The problem is that once we are on the home screen, the widgets basically reload themselves and we have to wait for that

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
All I can say is deal with it or use a different launcher lol. That method shown before is as good as it will get sir. Sorry. Unless you can code and fix it lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Scrappy1:
I run stock unrooted, and redraw problem went away when I switched to Nova launcher.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Yeah, this is a confusing thread for me.

So, one or more people didn't know that there's a set delay to get back to the home screen when you click the Home button, because it's waiting for a potential double-click to start S-Voice - and, that the double-click feature can be disabled.

The main point seemed to be what you described: moving to a screen with widgets causes them to refresh their contents. I admittedly found this point odd because I have NEVER seen such symptoms on my Galaxy S III (unrooted, stock). Power saving is turned off on my phone and the only Developer option which has been changed is enablement of USB Debugging.

Is this happening for particular widgets, perhaps?

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] hopesrequiem:
No idea. Unless their widgets are set to update every time it's viewed as opposes to every four hours? That's my best guess is people having it set to update constantly
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] DertyDOH:
my homescreen does this too, I'll be browsing the web or something, and if I do it for more than a few mins, press the home button and at the homescreen the widgets redraw, only takes a split second but a little annoying
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JAYNO20:
Same here... there are links all over Google about this. I was just hoping someone here figured out a fix...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] x714x:
As someone else said, Nova launcher (prime) is nice cause it lets you choose the 'speed' of it so to speak. Its extremely snappy with no lag. Much better then touchwiz imo.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JAYNO20:
Found this post on the Galaxy S III international forums.... Tried it on mine, but I couldn't get the actual oom number to change... anyone want to try to get this to work for the Verizon version?

So what's up.? Y'all exited for the ICS.? :D
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Bulletblitz27:
Yes! While I've had no problem with Gingerbread it's about time that we put this S3 Snapdragon to use. We are fully capable of running Jellybean, and likely Keylime Pie. I only purchased this phone in the first place because it's a good cheap, yet powerful hardware, that could go far with the right development.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
Yeah been running ICS all morn. Love it!!!! So many features I had no idea that are part of the OS. A Tweaked ICS would just about make me drool/.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Bulletblitz27:
You should share a video showing it off :) or more pics. Does it allow you to see battery percentage at the top? I know Galaxy S2 got this feature with the ICS update.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
Yup! Im testing out two versions now, a debloated deoxed, zipalined, and the same but more AOSP themed, so far so good :) Got s a lil things to fix, but man is it smooth.

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
so wow, how about the past 48 hours? for months it was like.... nothing... nothing... nothing... oh look, someone else took darknight and modded it a little... nothing... nothing... BAM!!! ICS!!! CM9 (announced but not released)!!!

a whirlwind of activity in the blaze forums

I love it :P
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] unicorndust98:
So guy's, what's the best way to flash the ICS..? Thomas's way, or dwitherells, or that other guy who created the CWM backup? What's the best/easiest way?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] chjema:
Dwithere is the easiest . The aosp themed one is very nice
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
Rofl love that "the other guys backup"

Mine wasn't meant to be easiest just slightly more convenient and familiar. There was a cry for a cwm solution and since I didn't know how to build a cwm update I debloated Thomas's stock and prerooted and did a nandroid. If I had known dwitherell would post his mere hours later I wouldn't have bothered.

So how's this for ironic? We give Sammy and t-mo the middle finger and say "screw you, we'll do it our way" and they respond with "oh yea? OTA, muthaf***as!"
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] unicorndust98:
Lol, love the last part. & yes, since you're from the i577 i didn't know your name sorry.

hmmm, i forgot about tweaked...

trust me, there are modified dark knight roms out there trying to claim they're new roms. basically just skinned/themed and said "hey it's new!"
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] dwitherell:
Lol - yeah, I was late to the party, so that and a small user base led to most not trying it, hence making it easily forgettable. I had a hunch it would happen, but I couldn't stop myself from tinkering lol!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] jparnell8839:
I'm still getting to know the heavy hitters in the blaze forums... my last device (HTC Wildfire S VMUSA... belugh... surprising it had CM9 at all, let alone before the blaze) had so much dev support it was rediculous :P but there was only like 2 major devs lol

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
I'm using a min 192 Max 1512 with sio and intellidemand.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] merwin:
I use ondemand still, but intellidemand is good but I think has some twitching problems in games. Lagfree is similar to ondemand but ramps down the cpu slower, and smartassV2 will drain the battery quicker but gives great performance.

SIO is a good scheduler... very consistent. VR is fastest but can cause a bit of twitching in games. I use bfq, just because it hooks into the kernel a bit deeper and gives good performance (somewhere between sio and vr).

Ultimately it's up to you which one you choose.

I do know that at the moment performance won't keep the cpu at full speed always and turns off the 2nd CPU when not needed. I'll have to work on that one :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
Thanks for info merwin, the kernel is running great. I'm going to try bfq and ondemand to see what I get for performance. Great job :D
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
Since flashing my wifi will not turn off. Hangs at 'turning off'. I have tried wiping and reflashing from scratch. Works fine on default dk v8 kernel. When I reboot wifi is on again - it seems like I am unable to turn it off at all. I will put a logcat in later. Anyone else having issues getting wifi off?

Pressing on wifi direct when wifi is stuck on turning off causes settings to freeze and close (no fc).
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] 2vivid:
Wifi works fine here. Can turn it on or off
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] merwin:
I'll check the logcat you posted, but you're the first one to have this. I've been running this kernel for a couple weeks primarily on Wifi without issue. I haven't updated the driver or anything. the only change I made relatively close was to enable tcp multicast in the kernel to solve a wifi captive portal issue, which wouldn't cause wifi to not turn off.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
Honestly I'm scratching my head here and I have tried everything I can think of to get this darned thing to work with your kernel. Everything seems smoother and more responsive with your kernel installed, but no matter what I do now my wifi doesn't want to turn off. Sometimes it does, but it takes a really long time. I have tried everything I can think of to no avail. The only thing I haven't tried is to test it with just dk8 and your kernel - no additional apps installed. Perhaps an app is causing the issue? IDK been at this for a few hours and I need a break :confused:

I got the update the day it came out, and ever since then my battery seems much worse. The next day it was at 20% at 6PM, (usually by then I have around 50%) I have not rooted my phone or anything. Stock just installed apps, changed text, background, stuff like that.

I am also one of those conservative people that has bluetooth, gps, wi-fi, even mobile data off when im not using it, so I am so confused on why this is happening.

Anyone else experiencing this? Just want to know if I'm the only one or if other people are too.

I've experienced this too. My batter went from about 15 hours on average to 4.

I have the habit of charging at night. When its done, I unplug and go to bed. Wake up in the morning, battery life is around 93%. After the update, battery life is at 35% upon waking up. Actively used the phone the weekend and have been charging it several times a day. I'm going to call Verizon and complain. I know it won't fix my phone, but hopefully if they get enough negative feedback it will help them fix the issue.

I purchased a used Nexus S i9020T that runs on the Wind network in Canada a little while ago. The phone is unlocked and ran 4.0.3. Today i did a manual check for an update, and it found the 4.0.4 version. I pressed update, and after a few minutes the phone rebooted to the splash screen...and stayed there with the animation running for a good 30 minutes.

I searched around and it seems that i will have to reflash the OS to get it to work. It also seems that my SD card will be wiped in the process. Is there a way to backup my SD before its wiped?
