yes i did restart my phone several time (quite a lot actually), well the lag is not recently happen, its been a month since the first lag happened, but right now it's really bugging me because suddenly the lag happens quite often, so I really need help guys
I can't say for sure. But I know some applications can cause problems. Maybe its because of others installed with it or just that app. Just something to keep in mind.
Try remove your clock widget and see how it goes.

I believe is not the applications, because it just slow response after im using the google chrome but after that it works fine again, but still even though is only for a short time i am little bit concern about what's going on with my phones hehe
Backup data and factory reset .

Factory reset is your best solution if you are not rooted.

It seems to freeze up a lot. I will select apps and they do nothing, same with downloads from the market. They just hang at showing them as downloading.
I use SPB Shell and sometimes when it does this it will also stick between pages rather than just flinging to the next it will actually just stop in between pages until you continue to scroll though.
When I select links to open, it does nothing until I actually open the browser. I have only had the phone for a few days and it worked fine, now its doing all these weird things.
Anyone got any suggestions or ideas, let me know otherwise I'm afraid I may be taking it back...
Something may be wrong with the phone. I haven't experienced none of that. Even out the box. Actually its been so fast for me that if I experience the littlest bit of lag it drives me nuts. Might be hard ware related.

LOL dude you have the data guard enabled. There is a setting in their that holds downloads and other things in a queue until you are using WiFi in order to save battery. Just disable that and you'll be on your way And the SPB Mobile Shell problem is probably a problem with the app. Contact the developer and tell them about it. There aren't many nVidia Tegra 2 phones out there so it's not very likely they have done much testing on the architecture. Also, what kind of links are you talking about? Like a link you receive in a text message?

I used to have the same problem with apps not responding after pressing. I was using adw launcher I reverted back to stock and everything is good now. Emailed the developer about the compatability and waiting for an answer but the photon is good otherwise
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
Yeah it really sounds like you have Data Saver enabled which is located under Battery & data manager in the phone settings. If not you may want to exchange the phone as faulty. I have a lot of issues which my Photon: stuttering during music playback, random reboots (twice in 2 weeks so far), and feedback when using the audio out (buzzing / static). These seem to be common problems but the performance issues you are mentioning do not seem normal from what I have read in these forums.

You would be correct. Although i went from the Hero to an LG Optimus S, and now the Photon.
No problems like that with SPB Shell here. Check the data saver mode. You can also try changing the vm heap to 48 or 64. Mine is on 64 but never had an issue with the stock setting either.
Update...
It does appear that it was SPB Shell which sucks because I was really liking it. I will send a message to the dev and see what happens. The funny thing is that is was working great the first few days that I was using it and then started acting up which was why I didn't thing it was SPB

How do you get it that high? I am using VM Heap Tool and the highest it will let me check is 48.
It's not data saver. Or it shouldn't be. It's an Android flaw.
I've had an Incredible, Thunderbolt and then Photon. Which means I've used a few Android phones over a couple of networks (more if you consider the 4G's as their own networks).
99% of the time my phones work fine. Every so often it will stall downloading an app, or an email will just sit on sending for a longggg time. Unless I am recreating the same conditions over three phones and two networks I think this just happens every once and a while.

I'm glad you found the issue, this right here always tells me it was something you installed that caused the problem. When it worked fine out of the box and then....
Just watch what you install, install one app at a time and see how it flows for awhile after each app. Yes, it may take awhile to get all your apps on but you will know what apps are causing you issues! Like a previous poster said, there aren't many T2 phones, so just be careful what you install!
Glad you found the problem!

Lag on an S,lol, its a bug. Reflash the phone(what firmware version are you?).
Screen timeout can be set from Display settings, not sure about lock, I amnt using a code atm.
All android browsers will default to the "m" versions of sites as the stock user agent string will tell the site that your phone is android. Without root I dont know if you can change the stock browsers user agent, but if you install opera mobile it can be set from "about:config"(type in to address bar).
Edit: If you've only booted once, REBOOT! First boot lags things up a bit.

It is for your region/rebranding. Most have got .67 by now but few .73.
Ive heard numerous times that it takes 1 or 2 seconds for the S3 to turn on after u press the home button, someone told me that it happens on all Sammy devices so i tried it on my SGS1 and there was no such delay, so im guessing its not down to the way Sammy makes their devices.
I also heard from the early reviews that S-Voice can be turned on directly from the lockscreen, maybe this is the cause for the delay. try turning S-voice off (not that your going to use it after the first week anyway ) and see if the problems persists, i also heard this from someone else and said that it does remove the delay.
Get back to me if it has helped.
I have a delay of around 1 second, and I have... like... everything turned off. S Voice is nothing I'm interested in so I have it all turned off and frozen in Titanium Backup. Same goes for unlock "toilet" sounds and ripple effects and whatnot, I'm not using any of it and I still have the lag.
Even GS1 has 1,5 sec delay
The "delay" is because the phone is waiting for a second press to see if you wish to load "s-voice".

I don't think it will, but it might depends how well samsung have linked the software
Kernel hacks can fix this, we did it on the s2.
I have noticed this as well with s voice turned off. My galaxy s was pretty quick but it had a custom rom built for speed and responsiveness.
Anyone noticing that after slide unlock that the home screen takes a while to come up? Takes a nice sec or 2 while all the app icons and the weather widget to come up.
I think sometimes the launcher has to reload after unlocking the screen, causing the delay

Kernel hacks didn't do anything on the S2 concerning the issue and specific cause. The issue apparently is modem related as it takes a long time to sleep and wake up, and the S3 has the same type of modem as the S2.
even the S2 had the s-voice like feature which would be activated in the very same way.
opening the s-voice app, going into settings and unchecking the "start s-voice (by double-tapp)" or something will solve your problem
You can set the home button to start up S Voice when double-pressed, but that means the system has to wait and make sure what you want it to do if you only press it once -- resulting in a pause. We've seen the same behavior any time an OEM decides to add functionality to a button with a double-tap, but this time its easy to fix. Just disable it in the S Voice settings and you're home free.

That doesn't sound right. The launcher just randomly takes its time to load, regardless of whether it's waking up or not.
Example; I was playing Reckless Getaway when I got an email notification. I quit out of that and got back to the launcher (Apex) instantly. Loaded up GMail and read my email. Once I quit out of that though, there was a 1-2 second delay before Apex loaded again.
I'd expect that after playing the game, not reading an email..

Agreed. The app you jump out from seems to be random. Even sometimes the same app launcher time is pretty random eg exiting Firefox sometimes launcher reloads but sometimes doesn't. Seems like the OS is killing launcher when something else needs the memory and then reloading it as you quit other apps.

If you use apex launcher and tick "keep in memory", you don't get this loading issue.
Also, it's not s- voice. I just disabled it in applications, so it's almost as if it's not even installed now, and there is still the 1 second delay. The big question is howeve... Why the hell does this even matter to any of you? After a week of owning this phone I never thought to myself "ohh this lag takes 2 centuries and is really annoying", no. It's about a second, sometimes it ot even that. Stop complaining, everyone has this "issue". It's not that important.

It's not only a second, IT'S HORRIBLE!!! Someone have to find a solution for that or I'm going crazy everytime I push the power-button
Edit: I thought I found a solution by turning off all effects and clock settings for the lock screen, but it worked one time and after that I still have the "one-second-lag" after pressing the power-button to get on the lockscreen. %&/*ยง

How funny you are, but it's still the same...
My SGS2 was suddenly rebooted itself when I connected it to my PC. It didn't happen before and it does not happen now.
My question is, when something goes wrong and the phone suddenly reboots or a specific app crashes or whatever (just one time, not on a regular basis) how can I know if any damage was done, to data for example, like a corruption, and whether or not should I reinstall this app or wipe and flash the phone?
I was just about to finish configuring settings and installing apps after a clean ROM installation when it happened, and so I thought about doing everything all over again because I wanted it to be "perfect".
If anyone shares this annoying habit I'm sure you will know what I'm talking about. I figured out I might just ask a pro about this thing I usually do, as I am aware that it is possible that there is absolutely zero logic to it and it is all in my head
Thanks.
P.S: Didn't post in the device forum because I figured it is a question that is based on the Android OS nature rather than subjective to a specific device model.

Because I'm not asking about troubleshooting a crashing app... nor a faulty OS installation.
I'm asking about the general idea of re-flashing a phone just because the OS suddenly crashed, one time only, without any special use for the moment.
You said your phone rebooted after you connected it to the pc. This the problem. No need to reflash imo, just close all apps when connecting next time.

what do you mean by OS suddenly crashed.. is it that it rebooted all of a sudden out of nowhere or are there some system process that gets FC ?

Kind of out of nowhere, yes, but even if it had something to do with me connecting it to the PC too soon after starting the phone - I am still curious if a sudden crash (a single one out of nowhere) can make some sort of a damage to any system or app data that it is recommended to re-flash or something.
I really hope you got my point. I used all my English skills to this one! :laugh:

android can crash when it runs out of RAM. Doesnt necessarily mean that a system app is damaged. if however a system app is damaged it will show up as a FC (force close) rather than a reboot.
so still im of the opininon that you dont have to reflash you rom yet...
How exactly did it work? Did you connect your phone to PC and then it rebooted?
By closing all apps i meant removing everything from recents screen.

I got curious about what might have caused it and what might have happened because of it and decided to ask here if it makes sense to re-flash
your rom is fine. The reboot used to happen to me from time to time when i plugged it into the computer or when i uninstalled an app. It had something to do with an app being executed in the background and not releasing every ressource. This didnt happen on the last few builds for me though...

If I press clear all they disappear, but reappear after a short while.
Any idea what's wrong and how can it be fixed?

Hiya mate, I've updated my S3 only moments ago and the same problem occurred on my phone. So I did as what you did and searched Google but nothing came up so I tried a few differebt things, including delete a few pictures I didn't need and taking out my SD card and evening stopping a few applications through the app manager but none of them worked. I then proceeded to go on Facebook on my phone and I saw a pic I found funny so I downloaded and the bright idea came from that. Would deleting my download history work and thankfully it did. To do this, click on your app button and the download app should be on the first screen, click on it and delete everything that is in the two tabs. If this doesn't work then I'm sorry but I don't know what else to try. I would provide pics of where the download app is what to delete but I'm on my phone at the moment and navigating on this page is so hard due to it not being mobile friendly.
