Yea I have this issue sometimes with the XDA app, facebook n some others. Doesnt happen all the time, only once in a while. Kind of annoying.

Im also getting a slight stutter/lag scrolling.

Yes but I've mostly noticed it in xda.

very laggy
Stock as-is ROM is very laggy. Until I got rid of all bloat, phone was running like first Galaxy.
Use some custom ROMs which will make your phone snappier. I removed around 100 apps.

tapatalk and the xda app lag alot and even crash on me.

the fix for laggy xda is.
Exit app, hold home, open task manager, kill all.
Then use "app cache cleaner"
All better

XDA App eating battery when running in background?

I've noticed that my XDA app on the Galaxy S3 (ATT) is eating up alot of battery. Ate almost 40 minutes of CPU. One time when I went into task mananger, it showed high CPU usage and I wasn't even using it for a while (so it was idle). I also noticed this with the Engadget app.
Anyone notice anything similar? Just seems like they should be sleeping and not using CPU in the background...
Try reinstalling them. I haven't had this problem with either :/
See attached. My screen has been on about an hour and xda for 50 min.

All I can think of is to reinstall. It shouldn't be doing this obviously
I've uninstalled and reinstalled before those screenshots.

Well no idea then, sorry. You could force stop them when you aren't using them.

i'm having the same issue. att sgs3 completely stock never flashed rooted or odined. my phone also seems to stutter and lag a bit more than i was lead to believe it would but i really only started to notice it after installing xda.
i have been using the xda app quite a bit today but an app doubling the screen in battery drain just seems wrong.
xda app cpu times:
total: 2h30m
foreground: 55m
i'm thinking about flashing the stock firmware odin package....... but i'm also thinking about trading in my blue for a white and i think the obvious lag stutter problem might help me avoid restocking fees.
oh what to do?
so no one else is having this problem? just us two?
I'm having this problem as well. I had 90% when I went to bed. 6 hours or so later when I woke up I had 50% left :/

I have also been having this problem since my s2. You can see in the task manager its running about 10 pct in the background. Never found a way to stop this apart from manually closing the app in its settings or force close.
I have been having the exact same issue with my XDA app. It just sucks the battery, using 20-35% on average. This is very odd as I have never had a problem with the xda app before. This is an app issue, hopefully they will update this.

I also have this problem. I've been manually fcing the app. I assumed it was due to the app trying to serve adds. But I don't really know

Guys, I've had a little better luck...at least its not killing the CPU total (was above 20% before on idle). I've disabled notifications in the settings and I've also disabled the 2 listeners using AutoRun manager.
Does anyone here who is experiencing xda app battery drain have a rooted device with an ad blocker? I have never had this issue with the xda app and the only thing that has changed other than the phone is not being rooted /ad free. My guess is ads are somehow causing this problem.

Have you tried changing the Settings / Notifications/Receive Notification/How often to check
I put never(or Uncheck Receive Notification) and That helps out allot

Phone and Contacts app Lag

Of all the apps on the SGS3 the phone and Contacts always seem to lag/take longer than expected opening up.
All other apps open instantly! This is kind of surprising since its a core app and you expect it to work instantly!
I'm on stock ROM of course.
What about you guys?

I feel that the contacts app has always been a problem on Samsung phones.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
I see the same problem. Got tired and switched to exDialer.
It's really surprising as it sticks out like a sore thumb when everything else flies!
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Try foxhound 1.4.3 Rom which is the best rom I have tried so far.There is no lag in opening contacts which was there in most Rom,lag was even there in stock rom.
Try it and you won't regret.

Multitasking

Hello guys.
Since i got my S3, i noticed that the multirasking sucks big time, compared to a friends 4.0.3 S2. He can open 3-4 games at the same time and facebook for example, and all application remain loaded after switching between them. But if i play GTA3, and i press Home, read and email, and the game restarts... lol ? Its like im having my GS1 again. When i exit an app sometimes, the launcher restarts.... give me some advice. I have delete the bloatware. Im on LG8 rooted with stock kernel.

Heard latest Jellybean leaked (LH9) has improved multitasking issue. Suggest you wait for JB official update.

Ok, thanks. Will wait, hope it will be better.

How to help force closes

Settings-developer-options-advanced-background process limit. Set this to none or up to 4. The lower, the more free ram you will maintain. This does not survive a reboot. So you must do it again each time you reboot your phone.
This makes your phone extremely fast. You'll notice soon as you own the app drawer. Lightning fast.

You can't multi task If your app force closes though. You have to be able to use it first.

Does this phone multi task? That's been a problem since it fell out of the box. And with jb it got worse

By the way I'm pretty sure flex has the fcs fixed in his Rom. Nice job flex

Slow and laggy

Very recently (probably the past week or two) my Droid DNA has been very slow to exit out of apps or open up the app drawer, etc. I have an unlocked bootloader, stock Rom, and am wondering why this is happening all of the sudden

Try downloading an app called fast reboot. Its not an app killer per se its more of an app reseter. Also my try downloading an app called cache cleaner. For some reason this phone caches a lot of temporary files.

How many widgets do you have.... I had a ton before and experience lag. After I removed some, all is well again
