[Q] Suffering frozen or sudden death still - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
I bought my international version last year June , and everything went well as soon as I upgrade to 4.1.2. My csc is TPA I guess is from Panama. Anyway, I felt a little laggy and then I flashed custom rom ( always stock rom before). I flashed omega, wanalite, aokp, liquidsoomth and so on. At first I suffered from sudden death or frozen (I have to press power button until it reboot), I thought it might because custome rom is not stable as stock, but so many roms that I've tried all have the same problems. Then I knew there is Sds problem, but even I flash those custom kernel to fixed it, some times still sudden death or frozen. Can anyone give some ideas to fix this? And I found that google apps cause death and frozen as well.
Thank you guys, I need this help.

Sudden death does not equal freeze afaik. It means your phone dying completely. As for freezing, if you didn't get any freezes from stock, I suggest you leave it on stock.

Touch screen response in ICS

So ive flashed ics on my friends SII but from the beginning it had touch problems, for example in the app drawer i have to tap setting 3 times before it registers the touch. For eveything else it works just fine so im sure its not HW related.
Switching kernel improved it (also improved scrolling lag).
Is this a known existing problem with the current kernels? I dont own a galaxy sII so i dont know the issues that are playing atm.
Thanks in advance!

no problem might be bad flash or early beta release that you flashed by mistake
Nah, i thought the same but after flashing again the problem still was there.
Gonna try returning to stock and start again with CM9 Resurrection Edition with Odin. If it still persists i gues the problem is hardware related.
and suddenly everything changes.........!
weren't you on stock ICS before? please use stock with full wipe to test such things.

Touch screen! Help please

I have problem with touch screen, when it is in direct sunlight or any strong light, it becomes unresponsive for 1or 2 minutes. This happens when I lock, so it means in lock screen I can not touch anything its not responding for few minutes. And what is most important, this problem is since I updated to ICS,in 4.0.3 and 4.0.4 also. But if I flash back to GB 2.3.6 I dont have this problem and it works perfect. And I heard a lot people having this problem, did some one found solution, as it is working in GB so it is not hardware problem.
I am really thankfully if anyone can help me.

let me know how you flashed those ROMs, list the steps you follow, you might have missed something because so far it's working in GB then it's not a hardware issue.

Well first I tried in stock rom 4.0.3 and now also 4.0.4, and for this custom ROMs like cm9 cm10, I did as per instructions wipe data factory reset, wipe cache, than flash, after that again wipe data/cache.
Have you tried to flash other kernel?

since you are using i9100g, I might not be able to recommend you a custom kernel. This kind off touch screen issues has been fixed in our own kernels.
Try this:
- boot to CWM recovery
- wipe cache partition
- wipe dalvik cache
- flash your kernel of choice again
- fix permissions
- reboot phone

Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
i experienced this before on my old Galaxy S, try going on for other CustomROMS and kernels..
But really I don't understand, my brother has also i9100g but he don't have this problem, I tested his phone in stock and in custom roms, I let it in sunlight for 10-15 minutes. But mine for 1-2 minutes immediately becomes unresponsive. I have tested all roms and kernels for i9100g and always I did wipe data, cache, dalvik cache but the problem is still present. Sometimes I say its hardware problem, but if I flash gb stock or any custom rom in gb, I can let phone in sunlight for 10-20 minutes without problem. Really its confusing me. If you guys will help me fix this problem I would be really really thankful as I am tired of this

then go for gingerbread if you don't mind.. if your phone is still on warranty, then you can send it back to the service center ASAP if not, you can also spend some money to get it fixed (it won't be cheap, trust me).. but if you wanna save some cash on it, you can stick to GB if that's what's doing you good on your problem..
hope you get it all sorted out
That's the problem that I don't have warranty. But really in GB you don't have nothing ICS is much better also so many custom roms and kernels for ICS. The fact that is working fine in gb and its not hardware problem is killing me. It must be a way to fix

[Q] Black Logo Screen problem

Unfortunately I cannot ask questions in specific thread, so I would like to do it now.
I have a problem after flashing LS8, specifically Wanamlite v.14. For some time phone works perfectly, until it suddenly switches off. I am able to power it up, but it freezes on the first screen with logo and model number. I am however able to access recovery.
And so I did - accessed recovery, flashed rom again, unfortunately, the only thing that worked was to do a full factory reset.
It worked... for a while. Then the story repeated itself. This time I did exactly the same, but started digging: some reported, that it might be a problem with kernel, which is Philz newest 4.00 b22. So I changed kernel: Dorimanx 7.44 - got serious overheating problems and the same probem. Jeboo 1.2 - the same. I then discovered, that eg. Jeboo has something from Philz kernel, so I flashed earlier version of Jeboo 1.1f. I am currently at this stage. Oh, btw. my chip is insane, if it changes anything.
Can anyone please tell me if you had similar problems, maybe not only users of Wanamlite, but other roms (which would confirm problems with kernel)? Can anyone tell me if there is any solution? Or at least does anyone knows what is happening? It is getting really weird, as I have been reading post of people reporting identical problem as I have, but devs seem to avoid the topic... Or maybe you guys are working hard to find out what is the problem - in that case a simple one line statement "we are aware. working on it" will suffice. Please, I am starting to be desperate here...
Regards.
Try Siyah kernel v6 beta4. I am also using WannamLite and have no issues at all.
Odp: [Q] Black Logo Screen problem
Thank you for the tip. I found the kernel elsewhere, however is there a thread about siyah v6 somewhere here, on xda-developers?
I will test it against problems I encountered and report for future readers.
The question still stays: what happened to me and all these other people?

Yes it is, try to always download from xda.
You've experienced conflict between ROM & Kernel. Always check the custom ROM thread and read it upside down so you can spot potential issues regarding this kinda conflict.

I did it, however, which is weird, only some of people reported it and dev, who in this case is Wanam, did not reply.
And I know, that it seems to be a conflict between rom and kernel, but how is it possible that not everyone had this issue while flashing Wanamlite with factory reset and kernel included in the rom? Nevertheless, I am sticking with Siyah for the while and see what happens.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda app-developers app
I have the same issue, it seems with LS8 whenever I reboot, there's a 50-50 chance my phone will "die" and I'll need a complete wipe and rom install
If I do a hot boot within Titanium Backup, guaranteed my phone will brake.
This happens with Siyah, PhilZ and Jeboo, it's not really a kernel issue, now a Wanamlite's issue since people on NEATROM also said they suffered the same issue, there's some problem with the firmware, seems that whenever the phone doesn't shut down properly, it won't start again.
Wish I could provide a log, but since phone totally dies, I don't know how to retrieve it.
@op: you got a siyah q&a thread sticked in the Q&A section.
Why don't you guys flash stock while you sort this out?
Custom ROMs will be updated soon now that ls8 is out. Therefore kernels will be updated as well.
Sent from the little guy
I'm having the same problem too. I have been using the Stock LS8 and Philz Kernel (4.00 b22-b30). I stopped using Siyah b4 in the previous JB Stock Leak because I had isues with the camera freezing.
Any suggestion?

Well I am still on siyah v6.b4. So far so good. But I am not too happy with battery life... You might try jeboo 1-1f, as some reported it doesn't cause any problems. I had jeboo 1-2 for a while but out generated the same bootloop...

[Q] Often Freezing i9300

Hi guys , I'm having this often freezing problem(about every 30 minutes.)(once it freezed I let it unfreeze itself but it took about 20-30 minutes.) About a week now.
So I used better battery to see what has been going on. And I found out this.(screenshot)
I want to ask that if anyone has this freezing problem before? How can I fix it?
And what is this mmcqd/0 and kworker/0:1 ?
If you guys need other information about my phone now maybe will help:
- Rooted i9300 international
- Using Revolt 4.3 JB
- using Siyah 1.9.1 kernel
- Did factory reset before but still have this problem .
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
What is your rom ? Flashing another kernel should fix it
I'm currently using Revolt 4.3 jb ROM .
I used cm kernel before and I started having this problem... So I changed to siyah kernel but I'm still having this problem..
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
Ah so I'm not the only one!
I was running the ReVolt nightlies. I had it running the 24/04 from then until last night and it's only started occuring the past few days. I updated to the latest nightly last night and that made it even worse. So today I have installed the latest PA stable build, didn't work at first so I flashed Siyah kernal and I've only had one freeze in the past hour so fingers crossed this has fixed it!
I'll let you know if it hasn't.
EDIT: Still had problem, however I read this thread and have fixed the problem now! Basically make a large change to the memory (I was just restoring apps through titanium or you can use the app in the thread linked above) and the freeze should come, let it unfreeze by it's self (no battery pulls, should take 5-25 minutes) and then just keep letting it freeze and it will fix the memory and no longer freeze after a certain amount of time!
Sorry for any bad wording/spelling, I'm tired

Screen artifacts/Graphical glitch

Greetings everyone,
Recently my girlfriends S3 started having these Screen artifacts/Graphical glitch and I have no idea what is causing it. I am hoping that someone would be willing to help me out on this, as I have yet to experience anything like this personally. She is rooted and running a custom Rom and kernel.
It seems to start after opening random apps, usually games. Rebooting seems to get rid of the problem. Her phone is not overclocked/underclocked and never overheats.
Her system setup is:
Rom: XXUGMJ9 NeatROM lite v5.3
Kernel: boeffla-kernel 5.1
Video can be found here of the problem.

Thanks in advance

Thanks for your response, but she had a previous version of neatrom without any issues for 7 months or so. I'll try reverting to a previous or another Rom but sock is too bloated and slow
