[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drvenki:
Hi Fayzann, I think you just got lucky. I did my upgrade through Kies when my S3 was in MTP mode. this is something to do with the stock ICS installation which causes this problem while migration of apps or may be later when the installed apps are optimized for the new OS. whichever the case I see and 6 other friends of mine have also seen a significant reduction in battery life and system speed along with scroll freeze, keyboard jam and every single time I see my RAM usage is above 800mb even after killing most of the apps. This is atrocious!!! Still patiently waiting for that remedy! :crying:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezman:
Definitely noticing the phone is now slower since Jellybean official update on O2 UK.

Key points

-Actual phone takes longer to load up - sometimes 2 or 3 seconds

-App Drawer takes time

-Home screen lag still there though much less

-Typing sometimes laggy

-Google Search slow (maybe disable google now)

Is a hard reset going to change anything?

Thanks,

Ezman

The same problem for me(battery life and slow interface).

Are there any news from samsung about update, which would fix this mess?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] i.razvan:
Maybe you guys have some apps which take too much ram .

After the jellybean update, my GSIII definitely got faster overall. The onlly place i got a lag is in the drawer at the widgets section. Lags a few seconds to load all the widgets and that`s about it.

I did a full wipe after the update and i`m stock , not rooted.

Did you noticed any difference in battery life?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drvenki:
Good news lads n lasses!!

Haha.. so, today I got a reply from Samsung Support and I have literally copy-pasted it here..

"Thank you for contacting Samsung.

I am sorry about the issue you are experiencing with your Samsung Galaxy S III handset since the JellyBean update and understand this can be frustrating.

We are currently developing a fix for this issue and we will be rolling it out via a firmware update in due course.

I’m sorry for any inconvenience that this may have caused.

If you require any further assistance, please contact Samsung again and we will be more than happy to help.

Kind regards,

Online Support Team

SAMSUNG Customer Support Centre"

So that is some relief I should say. Eagerly waiting for that fix!! meanwhile to get temporary relief, it helps to clear up the ram every now and then before making calls or texts or zooming in on fotos to avoid the lag! :) works for me.. :cyclops:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filipficofix:
In my opinion better buy iphone 5 its faster and better if i just waited one month i would definitly buy iphone.If you dont like laggy phones than better dont buy this phone or wait till the new updete and hope they will fix it.Im disapointed in you samsung :( !!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noobee1:
same problem but since stock

omg if that works it would help alot man. i got my s3 on 11th Nov and since then i am experiencing horrible ram usage.after few hours the ram crosses 750MB goes upto 800MB and phone slows down horribly also causing the apps in the memory to restart(finally after few hours the phone restarts and back to normal memory state for few hours then again the cycle begins). this problem was prevalent on stock ICS and also after the JB update. 4 online complaints and 2 visits to the service center, yet unsolved. the first visit to the service center their tech guy tells me "You are supposed to keep on clearing the RAM". even after explaining everything in detail. he gives me that crap. eventually after convincing him, he consults with others and says if the firmware isn't loaded properly that shyt tends to happen. but yet nothing is solved, even after second visit, when he again did the same thing, rolled back to stock firmware and gave it to me. :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hazzo31:
Try a custom rom, are better optimized than stock one.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaxx89:
Not the only one

I see I am not the only one facing this issue. Like one member mentioned, the RAM crosses 750MB in a few hours. Its the same for me.

And it is so slow that the messaging app keeps closing, the notification drop down takes time, the camera doesn't start up fast, the gallery loads as if I were using a phone from 2009.

Oh and this one is particularly just for my phone, the missed call icon is stuck showing (1)

Gunna take it to the service center and see if it fixes anything. But as I can see, there is no hope but to wait for a fix from Samsung.

BTW I do not wanna root and use a custom ROM
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnashc:
I'm running 4.1.2 Stock XXELKC, my God this ROM is slow. Almost switched to MIUI but I'm not a big fan of these over customized ROMs. Anyone know a good 4.1.2 ROM that's close to the stock but performs well?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elglmaster:
slow

my phone is slow too. I updated a few days ago to the 4.1.2 JB version, I did factory reset and it improved a bit but still slow.

i waiting for a new version or maybe do this... http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1888081
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hazzul:
If you're experiencing any lag or slowness you should go with a custom ROM optimized for speed & stability like Android Revolution HD :)

Flash the 22.4 if you can root/modify your device, it's perfect for performance & battery life :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttm1st:
same issue after updating to jelly bean ...slow on oading apps :(

if i flash back to ics will i have same performance as i used to ?

or do u prefer custom roms? like Omega Rom or somthing??
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tex Arcana:
Similar issues: laggy UI, slow app swaps, especially in text messaging--sometimes, tapping in a message, the letter response is so slow that they don't even show up before the message is sent.

GS3, AT&T US, Rooted, JB 4.1.1, kernel 3.0.31-274808, build number JR003L.I747UCDLK3

I don't precisely know what bloatware I need to remove to help; and I'm still fairly new at this. So any help and advice will be most appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omer7:
Yeah same problem here. I got this phone recently, so it had JB installed in it. Dont know what was the performance on ICS. I have intl version with 1gig RAM.

I thought it was due to low RAM, but u seem to have 2gig varaint? Still having lag issues?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lamaterfamilias:
I have my husband's fassy on ICS aokp ms6 :cwm4 fixed for cm7 : stock EH03:

It is stuck on the aokp logo power up screen, so I can't get into recovery (or I'm too dim to figure it out this late). This is the second time this has happened, last time was a few months back. Firs it starts to get that message in the notifications menu that the sd card is running low on memory (which it is not), then he starts having trouble with apps functioning properly, then everything starts force closing, he powers down to restart, then the logo screen won't go away. I think last time I freshly downloaded and re-flashed everything, but why is this happening again and what can I do to prevent it?

I was having similar problems with mine before I replaced it with an s3, but he has to wait another month.

While I'm at it, I think I'm going to go ahead and put JB on it this time, last time JB1 had just come out and he wasn't ready to be a tester. It just sucks that he probably wasn't backing everything up regularly and now he's going to have to start all over again. *sigh*
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhp_211:
Have you pulled the battery,, and then tried to reboot?

I don't know too much about ics ms6 build , but the jb builds are not giving up memory errors now...

They are great,,, much better than ics

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lamaterfamilias:
yea, i pulled the battery, same thing. I think I'm just going to start over fresh and put in JB4. I suppose mostly I was wondering if this was a common problem, or if we are just special like that.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhp_211:
Yeah probably,,, ,,,i remember my ics doing that low memory, hanging up, random reboots,etc ... It's what ultimately led me to mistakenly try to 3 finger into recovery,,, but it was the best thing because jb is soooo much better everywhere

So,I decompile SystemUI.apk

and Changed image and edited XML

But Samsung Rom used only one image for signal

Original used two image for signal

So I want to use two signal image in Samsung rom

How to?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] borda01:
Hi,

I have Xperia P with 4.0.4 central europe.

In sync settings there is no Internet Sync option.

I cannot sync stock browser. Is any way to solve problem?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xtrmshadow:
Hey there everyone,

I've got a question that im impatient to know if its possible or not :

The Xperia U has a total of 6GB for personal use. 2GB for apps and 4GB for Data.

Can we trade between those 2 sections ? What i mean is :

Can i configure the phone (somehow) to have 1GB for apps and 5GB for Data ?

For me,2GB for apps is excessive and 4GB for Data is a bit low so tradeing 1GB between them would make it perfectly balanced.

Anyone know if its possible ?o.o

Respect
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xyge:
should be possible if the partition can be edited...have been digging on the same doubt for quite a while now....i think it can be done.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
Rom manager app has an option for partitioning sd card but never used it
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] uao:
Thanks for making this question.

It would be really cool if someone helps out on this.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xtrmshadow:
I tried a few apps like Rom Manager ,andromizer and more but nope,its not gonna work.

I've been reading around tho that people who needed to enlarge the App internal memory ,could do it by repartitioning the Data partition and use a few scripts.

Also there is another solution which is copy the files to /system/app and "Directory Link" them to a false one on the SD card,but thats a pain.

Problem is none of those seem to work ,i tried linking directories but nope wont work. Also repartitioning the Data Partition means formatting the current ROM which i cant really do as i need my phone intact with all the info/apps/config that it has atm,not to mention we dont even know if that would work because all of those reparitioning use SDCard's and its ment to EXPAND/Enlarge the App Internal Memory...not reduce it (which is what we want).

*confused*

Please Help! regarding this
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ryccardo:
You need a kernel with a partition editor in the ramdisk (the Ace 2 CM10.2 has parted, I'd prefer (also) having gdisk as it isn't limited to creating partitions in order -- that's sufficient on the Samsung, can't say if it could work on the Sony without seeing a partitions dump first), a ROM in zip format (if you want to resize /system too), a computer with ADB and a calculator :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] XperianPro:
You can using partition resizer program posted by munjeni somewhere in forum just note do not touch 1-9 partition just mmcblk0p10 (this one is system,then goes data,cache etc) and after you find what you need,delete them and make new ones.

Not problem really.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dutch-Guy:
Hi everyone,

A friend of mine still has a crappy samsung and now he wants a better phone. But since the new nexus is about to be annonced I'm not sure if its better for him to wait a few weeks untill the galaxy nexus gets a price drop. What do you guys think?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zottelmonster:
The longer you wait the better the phone will be or the cheaper the phone will be.

Depands on how long he want's to wait.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpisini:
I bought my Nexus two weeks ago even with new announcements I'm glad I did. Great phone works really well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] turdbogls:
the current Gnexus is a really good phone. pretty much only lacking in the radio department and the camera department.

but it is dirt cheap ($350 unlocked or $50 on contract though vzw) and it will still be one of the first phones to get the latest android update for at least another year.

if this guy needs to be on the cutting edge of technology, i would wait it out. but if he is more interested in a cheap, solid device that may be a little lacking in a couple areas....the galaxy nexus is still a Fine machine.

this is the first device i haven't been itching to get rid of after a couple months....hahah
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chickentuna:
I would suggest waiting it out. Bear with the crappy phone for a few more months lol. Still If I am to ask, I would not regret buying a Nexus now(probably used as long as it's in mint condition). Sold my Galaxy Note just recently and bought a brand new Nexus and I have no complaints(just the low sound volume but still worth it). You can't go wrong with this device. I will probably keep it for more than a year. Totally worth it
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] speed_buster:
Hi everybody,

I start this thread that the newly migrated iPhone users to S3 (like me) get help in finding missing features. If already started I apologize and the thread should be removed, if not perhaps it will be useful for many people.

I miss from my old iPhone (Cydia):

- SwipeSelection: position the cursor when texting by swiping on the keyboard. Also text selection by keeping the shift pressed and swiping again the keyboard. It's far more effective.

- AskToSend: send message confirmation like "Are you send you want to send?". Useful while sms texting and hitting the send button accidentally.

Do you have any ideas where I can find something similar?
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Kangburra:
I would search the Play Store.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] speed_buster:
I did but without success :(
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] s00000000000ka:
Asktosend ------> Handcent sms is an alternative to stock sms app and have the "confirm send sms"

Swipeselection is already implemented in android whitout press shift.you can select text "long pressing the text"

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
Technically you can use it now. Just use the 'your own kernel' option. I only said about removing the built in ones because people are stupid and try flash them to the wrong device then blame the developer for it
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] KidCarter93:
I tried doing that and it all seemed as if it had worked alright. My device then rebooted and I realised it hadn't actually done anything :/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ben36:
Did you rename your kernel correctly (caps etc) as it probably needs to be exact and in the same folder as the built in ones I'd guess?

(I've not tried it)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] KidCarter93:
As far as I know I done it all correct, but if it didn't work then I guess not.

I'll have to give it another shot later on.

My script use these commands:

adb reboot-bootloader

fastboot flash boot kernel.elf

If your phone reboots without installing the new kernel may be that "adb reboot-bootloader" dosn't turn your phone in fastboot mode.... can you try this command separately? it restarts your phone in fastboot mode? thanks!

I believe it is not necessary because you just have to connect your phone to the PC and start the runme.bat :good:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] KidCarter93:
We're asking because I have the Xperia S so it's not the specific device and although it should work, we can't get it to work for some reason.

''Evil corrupts the mind of the weak but fails to feed off the mind of the strong''
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pajerm:
I haven't xpera S so I don't know which commands do you need.....

Try to run this command "adb reboot-bootloader" (in the folder with adb and fastboot binaries)

If your phone restart in fastboot mode you have to run this: "fastboot flash boot kernel.elf"

does it work?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nick Fury:

Hi all,

I have already unlocked my Sola's bootloader and I have also rooted it using B4nary's tool.

I was able to install CWM via RecoverX v1.4.6. I believe the installation was successful. There were no error message during the installation and I followed all instructions (rooted phone, super user permissions , busybox, etc).

I was not able to enter the CWM menu when I restarted my cell. I am not sure what the key combination is.

I tried holding the power button and the volume up button, that did not work.

I tried holding the power button and the volume up/down buttons which lead to several vibrations and a black screen but nothing more. I think that's the fastboot mode button combination.

I looked through some of the XDA forum topics on that matter but I was not able to find the proper key combination. Please help. :silly:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] soulhackereborn:
Please read carefully :-

1) Be it on whatever firmware you running GB/ICS you cannot just install CWM unless you flash a custom kernel which has recovery (CWM) in it...reason to it is that there is no recovery partition to install in Sola

M not sure about recoverX installation tho :D

2)(this goes if you hv found a magical way to install CWM without flashing a custom kernel not sure of your recoverX thing) the key combination is wrong and also there is an timing when you hv to press it... It's when the phone vibrates after Sony logo and a custom led light (colour as per the modder) flashes...

Combination :- boot the phone and when the phone vibrates after Sony logo + led flashes then press only + volume key n spam it if possible...

3) the combination that you did which switched the phone off is NOT fastboot... Its force reboot and force shutdown and that is

Combination ;- volume + & power button for 5 sec- force reboot continue pressing booth for couple of more sec - force shutdown

4) there are plenty of NOOB friendly posts which I don't think you bothered to search or read!!!
