[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] w98seeng:
My S3 is running stock 4.4.2 and isn't rooted (though it has been in the past). At times my phone will not wake up after the screen turns off.

I have to pull the battery to get it to work again. This doesn't happen all the time, but it can happen 5 or 6 times a day. This has been

happening for about 4 months. I did a factory reset and the same thing happens. There is no rhyme or reason to when this happens.

I have read a bunch of posts about this, but there seems to be no definitive answer. Some say do a factory reset, which I did. Some say

it is the version of Android they have, but this goes back a couple of years and everyone is on different versions of Android.

As a habit, I always press the power button to turn off the screen so I do not make any pocket calls. To use the phone, I press the power

button again, or the home button to wake it up.

The phone is 2 1/2 years old and except for this glitch, it has worked flawlessly.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Ian

Just a guess, but probably a faulty power switch. It happens fairly often, but usually displays different symptoms than yours. It would be the first thing I'd focus on though since it's very unlikely it's software/firmware related.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Larry2999:
My thoughts too are that it is an hardware issue rather than firmware. Had a similar problem once and it turned out to be the power button. However, with a device of this vintage, you can never be too sure.

Good luck!

Hello!

If your I9301I

No Power on !

Unable to enter download mode !

Boot recovery after memory replacement !

I found solution how to fix it!

Bootloader, PIT file and Odin 3.09
[Galaxy S3 Neo General] dragoonk:
And how do i download this "bootloader, pit file, odin" ?
[Galaxy S3 Neo General] mariosraptor:
As was for i9300. But as it states. After memory replacement. Which is a very hard thing to do

You have do desolder the old memory chip from pcb and put another one in its place.

After that you'll also might be needing Samsung's proprietary box-jig to provide power to phone (might not. For some it was doable with any UART providing box and if I remember 301k cable)

So if it dies either good luck fixing it or send it to Sammy to fix it.

I rooted my device a week ago and tried installing arhd 81.0. for some reason it doesn't get installed properly no matter how much time I do the installation process. The only rom I could find running on my device is paranoid beta 5. I haven't taken a backup of the stock rom that came with my device. Now I want to go back to stock android. I don't know which ruu file I have to choose. Pls help me with the process of unrooting by furnishing a step by step guide.

I've just updated my (I think is the right term) rom using

RUU_HERMES_HTC_WWE_1[1].35.255.2_1.35.255.102_1.08.00.10_SHIP.

Now the installation was fine but some of the original setting on the t-mobile rom are missing, like the quick launch 'running program' button on the screen, the 3g connection symbol as well as a few quick launch icon that use to be at the top of the main screen ' web & walk , contacts, notes. These have all disappeared, is there a way of getting the t-mobile vario 2 setting back or at least a way of configuring the keys to how it was with t-mobile. I think what i've currently got is the HTC original rom hence the HTC logo when I now turn the phone on.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bornlivedie:
Last night I was getting ready to flash CM11 via adb sideload when I dropped my phone from less than 50cm and my computer suddenly stopped recognizing it.

I thought it was my USB cable or my Windows installation that was going crazy but when I tried to charge it, it just wouldn't. In fastboot, all i see is Battery OK but when I connect it to the wall socket, it doesn't show "Charging".

Battery is not full, it was around 20%.

When I power it off and connect it to the wall socket, the screen doesn't turn on, it just vibrates for a second and after that is totally dead. It charges, but it's totally dead and won't show the charging progress bar.

It's like the micro usb port is half-dead.

Any thoughts?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Edgarngg:
Yes man you night have broken one of the pins. You should try the wireless charging mod, I'll give you the link in a bit. But if you use your port a lot you should order a replacement online.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bornlivedie:
I saw a video on YouTube that recommended charging the phone with a higher amperage charger. I grabbed my Nook charger and left it overnight. When I woke up, it was 100% charged so then I connected it to the computer in fastboot mode and it finally showed "Charging" and could use adb.

I hope it's fixed...

Hi,

I m using DU Rom 8.1 with a great pleasure.

unfortunately, I install a theme which seems not being compatible.

I have constant systemui crashes, on lock screen and can't do anything.

So, I thought to remove or unapply this theme "manually".

I can t do with adb cause the phone is not recongnized form my PC cause these crashes.

So I thought to do it by the recovery with aroma file manager.

I already deleted the data/app/xxx.apk and the data/data/com.xxxx folder, but it doesnt seem to be enough.

is there something more to do ? => edit a config file and /or delete another file / folder.

Thanks per advance for your help.

Edit , it s OK, I mnaged to do it.

In fact it was sufficient to delete apk and com.xxx folder.

My problem was that I used a style from one theme and the police from another one... so I it was necessary to remove all the applied themes.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmase23:
I was just curious if anyone has successfully done this. Did they give you and trouble? Did you do it at the T-Mobile store? Did you have yo pay anything? Mine doesn't really lag, i would more so call it stuttering. For example, when i scroll using tapatalk it isn't smooth, it stutters a lot. Once in a while exploring it different apps or system there is some noticeable stuttering. Again, it is for a long period of time.. just slightly. I have tried several of the tips posted in here and it still happens. I am not asking for help, i just want to know if anyone has returned it and how it went. I am on day 10, and want to see if it is worth going in the store before 14 days is up. Thank you!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] siraltus:
They'll charge you a $50 restocking fee as the return will fall under "buyer's remorse." You don't need to give a specific reason other than you don't want it. There's no way of avoiding the restocking fee on a return that leads to a full refund, even if it's defective.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmase23:
Hmm and if i pay $50 for a new device there is no guarantee the problem will be solved. Interesting. .
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raw2000j:
I didnt have to pay cause it was under 14 days for store and on 21 days if u do online.You could get another phone or same different color I didn't pay any fee. If u pass that time I would do a warranty exchange if u have jump it is $5 processing fee
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeypaws:
Don't know how Tmobile works in other states but here even switching to a different color is considered another handset purchase and you'll still be charged the restocking fee.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raw2000j:
They called it a preference exchange and said i didnt have to pay cause it was under the 21 days i did it over phone
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monkeypaws:
Interesting. Our stores here in Oregon will NOT let you switch colors without paying the restocking fee. I guess you could always ask for a managers override

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmase23:
UPDATE:

Well, as i was using Odin and going back to stock I tested again and to my surprise the lag/stutter was gone. I tested everything where I was experiencing this. All gone. Then I rerooted and added custom recovery and still good to go. Weird.. maybe Samsung had a bad "flash" when building my Note 4.

With that being said, to whomever is having the same experiences I was, this is what I recommend! BTW, T-Mobile was going to do a free exchange due to buyers remorse. I called them back and said I would not be coming in :)

I haven't but I will. I already tried using other ROMs, factory resetting, everything. Absolutely love the phone, but TouchWiz kills the phone for me. It slows the phone down a lot (in my case at least) and it stutters. So, I'll be returning it and getting a Nexus 6.

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThC23:
If you're within the 14 or 21 days they have to exchange it if something is wrong with the phone. It's not buyer's remorse.

Unless of course you want a different color then that's different.

I think I might return mine because I've had lag almost everywhere from home screens to apps, Internet and even videos.

I'm still completely stock, never had this type of issues with my Note 3. ****, even disappearing icons, look at the bottom messaging app.

Icon gone after a reboot, had to reboot again.

I was wondering, for those that have exchanged it.

Did the replacement work out better for you??

I'm debating whether returning it or just rooting it and slapping a rom on. But I don't want to keep it if it's the actual phone.....

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btort1:
For all the people claiming there is no lag, THERE IS LAG. But only if you root it and if you don't properly fix the S health issue.

I thought all those people were crazy for claiming there is lag until I experienced it myself. Do the clear data/reboot method on s health and then go back on wanam and check the option to fix s health. That removed my lag

And also there is a lag on the recent apps hard key, it's pretty slow just like on my S5. On my S5 I enabled soft keys/on screen keys and that lag was gone but the lag was still there for the hard keys on my S5.

I tried enabling soft keys on the Note 4 but it keeps crashing "system UI" every 2 seconds, I am able to put soft keys on my s3-s5/htc m7 but how come not on the note4?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThC23:
*UPDATE

So I contacted Tmo today just so they can note what's going on so I have no issues exchanging it.

The rep recommended to take out my SD card and try it without. And if I wanted to, to do a reset.

I had used the same SD card since my S2 Days so I didn't think nothing of it when I started using with my Note 4.

Anyways, long story short. SD card is out, factory reset it and now my lag is practically all gone. I've been using for about 5 hrs now.

So it was the SD card causing all if not most of the problem.

I'm going to format my SD card with this phone and hopefully I won't need a new SD card lol.

Anyways, something for you also having lag to try it out in case you have a similar situation as me.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raw2000j:
I did sane took out sd card played wirh it lag gone pyt sd card in again lag still gone :)
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThC23:
Cool, yeah I formatted the card just in case. Everything seems fine for now.

I'll update again in a day or so, hopefully everything is still good.

For some reason after removing SD card and doing a reset I was now able to see the pics that are included by Samsung which weren't there before when I was having lag issues. Probably not related, but I thought it was weird how they just appeared it if nowhere lol
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turilo:
I'm experiencing incredible lag but this happened after trying to flash a custom rom. Typing is insanely stuttered and somehow my finger scanner sensor got killed. I get error with finger scanner sensor when opening the app through settings. Phone was running amazing before I tried flashing the rom. Not sure what caused it but it really killed this thing.

EDIT: Ive flashed stock fw 4 times also with full wipes and still there, along with the sd card removal is a no go. Looks like suddenly my note 4 just got defected
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] budco2000:
Is wanam causing problems. I have some weird issues going on. When ever an app need root access the window pops up and I have to wait several second before I can click accept, playstore downloads pause right in the middle of the download and don't do nothing for 15 seconds, after it downloads it takes another 30 to 45 seconds to install even the smallest apps, It did it on the stock rom and now on FirekatN4 Rom. I've clean flashed it 3 or 4 times. It always starts out great, then by the time I got my phone set up it becomes slow and laggy, Maybe the problems don't start till I start using Wamam. I'm half tempted to just return it and use my LG G3.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donharden2002:
I think Samsung should be embarrassed by this phone to be honest.

My note 3, lg g3, and nexus 5 all run much smoother than this big piece of junk.

I can't remember a phone being as unresponsive as this since my captivate.

I'm the 2nd owner, bought it from on eBay basically brand new and am basically stuck with it now I guess.

It's a week old, not being the original owner I don't suppose I'll be able to go to tmo and have it replaced?

I'm afraid I'll have to disagree with you 100% I got my replacement and now I'm back to stock smoothness. I had the g3 and that was a lagiest phone I've ever held in my hands. EBay explains your problem right there.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mgbosshogg:
Hi ,

I am hoping someone can answer a couple of questions for me.

With my S3 ONLY the stock ROM bluetooth works correctly with my inbuilt car system.

ANY ( I have tried many many different ones ) custom ROMS and I have an issue.

The issue is 2 fold. 1 - very very bad distortion, unable to make out any words - this effects voice calls only. 2 - Music play back plays clear but has random micro pauses.

Any custom ROM does the same. Stock 4.1 , 4.2 or 4.3 work perfect.

Can the bluetooth stack from stock be copied to a custom rom? Is is different anyway?

I like SlimRom or CM11 best , if I could get those to work I would be very happy indeed.

Cheers,

no bull**** over hotspot; tmobile includes it with all plans

throttle data after using allotment (no overcharge )

con:

some people say reception is worse (don't know never used it)

some people say reception inside is worse due to higher frequency (both data and celluar) don't know never used it

some people say gsm can be a lot worse for voice (don't know I've always used cdma but people who call me on iphone at&t always sound very poor (broken up speech; though with the note 4 it is not nearly as bad as it was with the note 2 - not sure why)

-

I've never used t-mobile but been very tempted to switch to not deal with the hotspot bull**** (verizon actually SPENDS money to block samsung/google built in hotspot). Then again my plan on verizon is pretty cheap and it works and their customer support people have been very nice so 'cept for hotspot i have no reason to switch (I do not have an unlimited plan).

When you said your phone, is it the Note 3 or 4? Because my vzw Note 4 works out of the box with tmo LTE and I get over 60Mbps download right now. I use both networks. Tmo works fine if you live in the major cities where they have good LTE coverages. In the small towns, you better stick with vzw.

Being a tmo customer for the last 10 years, their network has improved a lot. Most of my friends have switched to tmobile because their home and work now have better coverages and you can't beat $100/4 line with no overages.
