I do tend to use maps almost every day so not sure if I should disable it. Then again it does seem to run CONSTANTLY which i always found kinda ridiculous. Also I use play music every day but not the widget.

Had to do a battery pull earlier today when the device just shut off out of nowhere.

After looking at these ad network apps I'll check out that gsam battery monitor. Thanks for the suggestions so far everyone.

Idk you might be having too many apps and games lol idk.. Like others have said factory reset, also you may have a lot of apps that demand notifications that could greatly affect battery life such as Facebook etcc.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] 1slow4G:
I agree. Might be a bad app. Save your data and do a factory reset like it was mentioned. Should clear issues right up. If not then take the next step and exchange it if possible.

Besides the apps and games do you get a lot of pic messages and text from many people? Did you leave the auto delete after so many pic messages and text on or did you turn it off?

No such issues on my phone, and a cheap $25-$30 hyperion battery will solve your battery woes.

Quick update. Woke up this morning and my phone was just off. Turned it back on, went to the bathroom, came back, it was off again. Got it back on and its running slow as hell but its on at least. This shutting off / rebooting stuff is new this week. Its terrible.

I guess im gonna try out carbon to back up my game data and see what I can do. It just really sucks if it turns out the issue is that a 16gb smart phone can't really store a lot of games. What a waste. Might as well carry an iPod touch and a flip phone Haha.

BTW I do get tons of text but I try to go in and clear those out every so often too. I never let my internal storage get below 1gb, 2 if I can help it.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pig Vomit:
You need to bite the bullet and do a factory reset. It's probably not the hardware. The only way to tell is if you do a reset and the problem is still there. Install the games one at a time, testing after each install to see if it is one of the games causing it. It's probably not related to lack of storage, although you should leave *some* space free.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mike102871:
Yeah something user end ia causing this. Factory reset.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] polarbearmc:
yea well it's done now. no backup because i couldn't get the phone to stay on long enough. really sucks. t-mobile support is giving me till tomorrow to let them know if the slowdown and lag and freezing and reboots continue. i'm sure like you said, they won't. it just really sucks. i'm not someone who just randomly downloads tons of crap apps off the store, i read reviews, i try to only download stuff that's popular and well-reviewed, but apparently you just can't have a lot of apps on a smartphone. it's the truth. i have tons of friends with s3's that all run amazingly. the difference? they max out around 50-60 total installed apps. doesn't matter if they're rooted or not. as soon as you have i don't know, i'm guessing here, but i'd say 120+ apps issues arise. it sucks. thanks for he help though everyone. doesn't really matter if i get a new phone, just start from this fresh start on the current phone ,root, and/or install a rom, i think it's pretty clear that things will go to crap if i have less than 5-6gigs free on my internal storage... which begs the question... what if in a couple years we have phones with 128gb of internal storage (probably like 80gb free after all the bloat haha), will it still be impossible to have 50/60gb of apps installed without things slowing to a crawl? i wonder.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scooter247:
I still think it has to do with an app you may have installed. To answer the internal memory question. Our phone has a 16 gb flash memory but that memory is partitioned into several groups one big one is for the 2gb system memory. Then you have all the boot partition and rom. Every portion you have lessons the memory you have access to. Also each partition has a file system in which takes some memory right off the bat from the pargition. So a 2gb partition would read as 1.7gb. After all is said and done you have 12 gb left.

Now there is always a work around and you may look into rooting for this mod alone.

[MOD]App2ExtSD2 [Works for all U.S. Galaxy S3!]

The basic of this mod is this.

When your phone boots the script runs and if it sees if there is a ext sd. If there is, it swaps the external sd pathway names with your internal sd.

This is the closest option we have to apps to sd. In my opinion its the better of the two because your apps are still alway installed to your phone memory but all the extra files that use the space on the internal sd card goes to the physical external sdcard.

With app2sd everything is put on the extsd so if you take the card out you don't even see the app installed.

With this if your external sd goes bad your app still run you just may have to reinstall extra files to load the game.

This is what a 64gb with this mod will look like.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] polarbearmc:
wow. that's beautiful. i don't know though, i mean how stable is it really? granted my old phones were totally underpowered compared to something like the S3, but moving apps/games anything really other than music and pictures to the sd was exactly what i used to run into problems with my old phones. regardless, i'm gonna save that and if and when i do root i'm gonna give it a try. i have a 64gb sd card just sitting there doing nothing right now except holding all my pictures.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] mt3g:
My brother and a 2 friends of mine have the S III and haven't let me root it yet and they love their phone still, don't have any lag, and have at least 80+ apps installed and a few games. I'm going with a lemon or a rogue app causing the harm.

T-Mobile SGS III
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scooter247:
It's very stable. However know that you are using your ext sd more with this mod so technically it can shorten its life but 64gb will only come down in price. To me it's worth the extra space. The other down side is the ext sd takes a little more power from the battery to run so you may see a battery hit. But let's just look at what you gain.

All Music and movies from play store are actually on your ext card.

The Avengers now and any other movies from Samsung media hub and flixster

Use your internal card for more important things like

Photos videos and personal music from your own library.

Once again all you must do to change it back to the way it was is as easy as booting your phone without the ext card installed for a temporary revert or deleting the script you installed to completely stop it.

Also I have a 64gb class 10 and I can not tell the difference in any app or games I run. If you have a slower class it my or may not lag. The classes on the cards are the speed ratings for writing and reading. The higher the number the faster the card can read and write.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] polarbearmc:
for now the plan is to reluctantly slowly reinstall apps and games. so far including the preinstalled stuff, my apps is showing i have 56 apps right now. before the system restore i think i had 148. so i'm gonna do my best to not install anything until i actually need to use it, and i'm gonna aim to not install any more than 5 apps in one day from here on out so i can monitor when things start going to **** haha. so far so good. it's amazing how great this phone runs when you don't have like you guys said a "rogue" app or just too many apps installed.

by the way, as long as you're all helping out (and thanks so much for all your suggestions so far). is there any suggested app that can help me monitor what if anything could be causing issues as i start to reinstall stuff? or just look for poor performance and major drops in battery and that's the plan.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
GSam Battery Monitor. And I very highly doubt that having a lot of apps is causing battery drain. I don't see how that could possibly make a difference. Something is misbehaving.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] scooter247:
A rouge app can cause a lot of things bad to happen. For example one that may use Internet access and let's say sleep ability. If the app is not shutting down properly for some reason it may keep your phone from going in to a deep sleep. Then on top of that it may continue to try and connect to Internet. This can cause major battery drain. Or if a app has a memory leak in its coding it can eat away at your ram until your phone slows so much and you reboot or it locks up or reboots by its self. Also if you do root look for a rom that has pdroid manager baked in or get the app separately.

Pdroid allows you to check off all the permission that an app has access. So you can accept or denie any of the permissions.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] polarbearmc:
One other question for now and then I'll let the issue rest for a few days while I monitor performance as I reinstall things and use that gsam battery monitor to monitor apps as well... lets say i do find something, some app or game that seems to be using a ridiculous amount of battery or something. what do you guys all do at that point if its an app/game that you really love. email the dev and hope they fix something? or you just gotta bite the bullet and live without it?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
1. Uninstall it.

2. Complain to dev.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] polarbearmc:
so far the biggest battery users are Facebook and Newsrob... Kinda screwed on Facebook of course haha, but gonna e-mail the maker of Newsrob and see if he has any suggestions.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Hellstyrant:
Honestly, either live without it or deal with the issues it causes. You can email the dev, but that's not a guarantee that they will fix it. Personally I would get rid of it and find something to replace it, simple as that.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] polarbearmc:
no offense but i have my phone with me 24 hours a day and consider it to be an expensive investment that should run well and do the things i want it to do. if thousands if not 100s of thousands of other people can have these apps without issue, than i should be able to too. so i'd rather figure out what's wrong and go from there. i mean facebook is not going anywhere, that's just a fact, and newsrob is by far the best RSS app i've ever used. none of the others even compare. hopefully the issue isn't really newsrob. i don't think it is, it's a pretty damn popular app, i can't imagine all those people are having these issues. it's probably some game with ads/notifications that was causing the bulk of my problems i'm guessing.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
What's causing your problems is something that's always running. So it's probably not a game unless it's not closing properly. Likely widgets or apps that are constantly syncing.

Saying Facebook won't go anywhere I think is a mistake. What happened to MySpace? Pretty much irrelevant today.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] polarbearmc:
well i meant won't go anywhere for me, like i'm not gonna uninstall it because i use it like 100 times a day. i'm sure it will eventually die out for the next big social network, but i don't know how/when and certainly not any time soon. i don't want to get dragged into a separate conversation that we could have for hours, but there are millions of people like me who don't use social networks to "connect" with random people with similar interests... we use it to stay in touch with old friends and family that we'd otherwise never bother to pick up the phone and call or meet up with in person. and i'm sorry but i highly doubt my aunt carol or some random kid i sat next to in high school are going to start over on a new social network any time soon. certainly didn't work for google+, that's for sure.

also as for "probably not a game" i dont know... i can't tell you the amount of times i've gone into the "Active Applications" list and seen a game I played like 8 hours ago still sitting there. so I think it could potentially have been a game causing the issue, but who knows. hopefully as i monitor things more i'll find the culprit.

and some people in the newsrob forum told me a few things to change and look out for to ensure better battery usage, so i'm trying that too (although it doesn't sound like newsrob was the cause of my freezing/rebooting BUT it may be a factor in my low battery)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Hellstyrant:
You asked a question and I answered it, so try to refrain from getting pissy because you don't like the answer. You obviously have one of two possible problems going on, either your phone is defective or one or more apps that you have installed are malfunctioning. If an app is malfunctioning, no amount of arguing with people on XDA is going to fix it, so my answer still stands: deal with it or delete it.

That being said, are you using one or more task killers? Because those are known to cause problems over time, as you use your phone it tends to get worse, in my experience they usually start off with minor lagginess and end up causing issues like random reboots. Just something to look out for.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] polarbearmc:
come on dude, 38 comments later and i haven't been pissy at all. not sure what you're reading into.

and no, no task killers.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] monkeypaws:
Yeah ibdont understand why people get so upset. He was asking for help and obviously there are things that are important to him. I'd hate to have to do a factory reset if in don't have to . That's the last thing I'd do specially if I had important data on it or just then process of starting new again is a pita. I agree. For a $500+ phone it should be top notch. I do understand that there are flukes and some bad batches in manufacturing and a limited life. My advice, if you can't offer helpful advice stop getting so upset.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] polarbearmc:
exactly. this has been one of the more helpful threads i've ever started so thanks to everyone.

for the record, as much as it sucked having to factory restore, i gotta admit, my phone is running freaking smooth the last day. and battery life is so much better. so yea i'd say it was definitely some app and luckily i think i've reinstalled all the absolute must-haves at this point and it's still good. so hopefully as time goes by i'll figure out what one or ones were causing the major issues... now i gotta re-finish the 700+ picross puzzles I had completed so far in logic square.... arrrrrghhhh hahaha
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] gthing:
I'm with you on this. The s iii is the nicest but least reliable Android phone I've had. I am constantly battling it trying to get it to run smoothly. I was going to wait for CTIA but I might just have to get a Nexus 4 in the mean time.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] polarbearmc:
oh man i wouldn't go that far haha. try the G1, G2, or MyTouch4g Slide if you want something less reliable haha. (nothing but respect for the G1 and G2, 2 of my favorite phones of all time, but they ran bad out of the boxes)... the Galaxy S3 is definitely the best performance of any phone I've ever used... when i'm not having these issues.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
Do me a favor. When and if you discover what app was causing the problem, let us know?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] polarbearmc:
i will for sure. although hopefully my phone just works great right up until my contract is up in October 2014 :)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] polarbearmc:
Sooooo....

in case anyone is wondering...

my phone's been running excellent since the other day. zero issues. super happy... AND THEN...

today i was driving, listening to music through google play music hooked into my car stereo as i do every day... all the sudden play music stopped responding. i waited till i was stopped and not driving and i kept trying to hit the force close button but it wouldn't do anything. finally i had to do a battery pull. i rebooted and was greeted to a dimmed screen and a constant stream of FC's. like 8 things, that just kept repeating on loop, impossible to get to the home screen. i rebooted like 4 times. finally i went into recovery and did a cache clear. rebooted and everything was working for about 5 minutes when it froze up again. rebooted, did a cache clear again. this time when i tried to reboot i just kept boot looping at the samsung logo. i rebooted and tried to do a cache clear again, but now it would not get to the recovery menu to do a cache clear. i rebooted again and this time it got stuck at the galaxy s3 screen instead of samsung and again would not go to the recovery menu. i did another battery pull because this time holding down the power button wouldn't shut it off. put the battery back in. hit power. absolutely nothing. held down power. nothing at all. totally done. i only have the one battery so i can't try another, but i can't imagine it's the battery.

anyway i called back tech support, i'm in warranty still so its just $5 to get a replacement overnighted to me. i'll have a new phone tomorrow.

was it software AND hardware at fault? maybe... who knows... hopefully i'll have better luck with my new one haha.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Hellstyrant:
I would guess the initial problem was corruption from internal storage going bad then. When you reflashed you corrected the corruption but because it was a hardware fault it began to corrupt your data again, then it completely failed.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:

Unfortunately, some problems require more troubleshooting to fix than others.

Try using Android Tweaker Pro. I was having lagging issues, minor freezing all on stock after rooting. Backed up everything did factory reset installed Android Tweaker Pro. I have had no issues while running this app on rooted stock, have about 20gigs left of my 64gig external card and about 4 gigs left of my internal 16gig. Froze abunch of apps I don't use and still about 200 installed unfrozen. Receiving work exchange email all day everyday plus my 5 other email accounts, streaming music, texting, playing games, reading xda forum, jumping wifi access points at the different sites I manage still no lag or freezing. Battery is better than when I first bought the phone. No task killers installed, no antivirus installed, no battery widgets, no battery monitoring apps installed. Granted I still need to have a charger with me but that's life and that's how I roll with my GS3! Hope this helps.

Does anyone know how to connect your phone, to its own native adb. If your running 4.0 or better like the new 4.0.1 sense on evo 4g lte you have the native adb, in the terminal you can start it by typing adb start-server, but I cannot connect the phone to it.

This is nice to use to connect to other phones and use it as a debug station, but does anyone know how to connect to the phones adb server from the terminal on its own phone. When I start the server it says its listening on 5083 I have tried adb forward tcp:5555 tcp:55, tried adb tcpip 5555, but none of the forwarding ports seems to work. I have started adb on the phone and adb over wifi but still do not see the ip in adb.

Some help on this would be nice, I will keep thinking, but any help would be nice.

Some ideas might be to start a wifi server using the phones wifi tether, or hotspot to connect to itself

ip addr add 192.168.1.10/24 dev eth0
