Ummm, that's not a bug, that's a new 'feature'. Only way to remove it is to flash an earlier ICS build or a custom ROM.

[Q] s2 does not run smoothly

hi everyone
i`ve got a problem with my sgs2.
since the last update version, my phone doesn`t run smoothly anymore.
when scrolling through the menu or contactlist it`s like the page is holding back. before the update i haven`t got any problems with it. I`ve gone to a servicepoint to reset the whole system to the earliest version. didn`t work. I`ve send it back to where i bought it, they say we`ve repared it... nothing seems to have happened.
it`s so frustrating to see that this expensive phone, witch they say is the fastest and the best of it`s kind, seems to have such a problem.
Does somebody know what to do? because I don`t.

so you have used warranty repair?? May as well root and install a faster custom rom
since the op doesn't come from the deep internet....... i shal explain that there is a search function in this website.
And i am not certain this specific post will help OP in any way, since he just sent it to warranty, due to...that.....
Sorry but sincerely, why did you buy a Samsung Galaxy S2? are you coming from an iPhone?
[EDIT] Anyway, this question might be useful for future reference, in a mere chance that a new user might actually use this so mythical search function.
If after you updated the operative system version to *whatever* you can always revert it to the version you previously had. This might conclude to a confusing stage of your life, since samsung seem to have hit an infinite loop of versions releases and most probably you might get more confused than you already are.
Simply follow guides and instalation instructions in the Development sections... !!!***BUT***!!! remember, development section and threads are strictly to that finality, development. Questions and other doubts are to be posted in the Q&A or General sub-sections.
I honestly wish that i dont sound rude in any and every way, and if i do, i hereby ask for forgiveness... -.-'
You can factory reset and test .
You can install a later stock rom and test .

Yes you sound rude and probably no help to OP, also the condescending tone in your post makes this community look bad for the novices who have genuine problems IMO. Is it because he has 1 post? If he was saying something like "WHY PHONE HAZ LAG? WHAT BEST FIRMWARE FOR NO LAG?" then I would understand your post.
Anyway's, good luck OP! I had the same problems with custom ROM's and Kernel's (firmware) but since I was doing custom stuff, I voided my warranty and had to deal with it myself via full wipes and a kernel cleaning script amongst all the flashing. How did you try to update your firmware?

I get the same thing happening, but only on the call logs.
I think it holds about 500 logs and every so often when I try to scroll down a few pages it starts to freeze then flows again and keeps doing that the more I keep scrolling down.
I think it happens because sometimes I don't use that list for a long period so it needs to reload the list. Also could be the first time after I restore a backup.
Anyway, I just keep scrolling all the way to the bottom and after that all is good again. It a bit like loading the gallery for the first time. After that it loads quickly.

i`ve updated via kies. ever since i use 2.3.4 it`s not running smoothly.
i allready set it back too the earliest version. i`ve asked samsung what to do. they told me too send it back. i`ve done that. but nothing seems to work. the problem is still there. i`ve been thinking of a custom rom, but then i loose my waranty. i hope that when the new update too icecream arrives it will fix the problem. when it doesn`t i will look out for a custom rom.
i`ve never had an iphone (dirty word)

I use the rom in my sig - no lag, never had a force close, faster than stock and battery life is better - you could try a rom like that - or wait MONTHS for your update to arrive

having Lag in opening contacts and Phone app

Hi ,.
I'm experiencing some lag when opening the Contact or the Phone app on my SGSII.
this happens only the 1st time I open these apps, ...and only after upgrading to ICS 4.0.3 XXLPQ
made wipe Data and Cash. still having same issue.
Any help please ?
Which rom are you using!
Also this is a problem in many ICS roms, Its a problem in the build itself!
So you are not alone!

Official ICS 4.0.3 for SGSII
IML74K.XXLPQ
Yup that build is not a stable release eve from Samsung. They did not even care to make it lag free. I dont think there is anything you can do about this. The release is messed up. Try using some other custom roms!

did you wipe cash after installation ?
I only found contact lag with mine
I can recommend hydrogen-ics.
Have tested many kernels on this rom and they are all very smooth.

If you really want a stable rom then id say downgrade to gb and go for Checkrom. Click on the picture in my sig!

Not just stability. Having used ics for about a week now. Id love it if the rom had some ics icing on it
Think cm9 and ressurrection remix. Just cant decide between the two

Same problem on stock sgs3
I am resurrecting this thread hoping someone came up with a fix by now, as I am experiencing the same problems described by the op, on my galaxy s 3

Can't flash Honeycomb Roms. Screen flicker.

Just picked up a new tab 10.1.
Flashed a few roms trying to find a favorite.
But... no honeycomb roms work for me.
I can flash the roms fine, they boot up and I can do everything. BUT as soon as I lock the screen and unlock it i cannot see anything, the screen just turns to lines and flickers.
I found one person with the problem but no answer.

ok, i have no ideea whats wrong
i have this problem with the screen getting garbled, very thin lines rolling (not the large rolling lines due to the cwm, ive had that too, but sorted that) when th p7500 enters sleep or if i push the sleep button.
ive tried everything i could think of. 2 versions of the last cwm. flashed stock(also the one with UE), then again the rom. flashed pershoot's kernel. nothing
ive even tried another custom rom, the same problem. the only ones that dont give me this problem are the cyan 9 ics custom builds (but they are too glitchy for my taste) ant the stock ones. any ideeas? i really like this rom, its smooth, id like to be able to use it
thanks

[Q] Where Can I get Virtual Nexus Buttons for my i9300 S3?

First post on here so no angry clever devs saying I'm posting in the wrong place
Anyway, I'm sort of new to rooting, I know what pretty much everything does, and enjoy flashing my S3. I've had CM10 for a while now, and am currently on the latest 2nd of December nightly build of CM10. Works fine. Tonight I've flashed the 4.2 camera with photosphere and stuff, because I have a thing for the Galaxy Nexus. And due to this love, I really want to get the virtual buttons on the bottom of the screen (the ones that are on a little bar) and I want the actual Nexus ones, the 3, not the search and menu and stuff. I've searched on here already and cant find anything. I tried flashing this one earlier and just got stuck in a boot loop. This always happens every time I try flash the buttons. I've read that its not as simple as just dumping onto the S3, but can anyone help me flash them onto the international i9300 Galaxy S3 on CM10? I really want to try it out.
Any help is appreciated
Cheers

[Q] {Q} ARHD 4.3 problems (slow screen unlock, cannot hang up the phone etc)

Hey guys,
so i searched for 4.3 problems like this and i found something but vaguely so deicided to post a question.
So i have installed this new rom 4.3 on international galaxy s3 i9300,so i installed ARHD v40 and tried bioth kernels that i get in aroma.
howerevr i am having pain in the ass like problems with lokcing/unlocking the phone, general slowness and cannot hang up the phone sometimes...
also sometiemes it takes alot of time to unlock so if i need my phone quickly i gert near crash into a wall kidnd of a stage.
so i need help, do i revert to older rom or how do i fix this?
thanks in advance
Use developer mode in settings ,you can find "show cpu usage" and tick the checkbox.After that you can see processes on the top-right of the screen. Find out which one is always on the top, or if the blue color too much it's an iowait problem.
Makes more sense to ask in the roms thread .
Yea but the rom replies are happening every day and alot of them so the question gets pushed to older pages and doesnt get respond so i asked here.
Anyway i got the thing cleared i installed boeffla v2 kernel and set to zzmove and now it is much faster but still slow sluggish 4.3 on galaxy s3 so now i am searching to go back to older stock roms, any suggestions where i can get those older roms? Sammobile has only new i think?
Thanks for reply in advance

That's because your ROM is still on the earliest version of 4.3 which was the worst update for our phone yet.. Change over to other ROM out rather adj any other fellow user of your ROM how are they getting smooth performance..
If you are thinking of changing ROM
Do consider neat ROM.. Or hypersonic rom...
