Extreme optimized update via OTA ? - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys!
I had a spanish S3, but because the constant freezing (I had the sudden death affected chip) the Samsung Service replaced the main board and the emmc and instead the PHE country code, my phone is getting the Austria Open updates now (ATO).
Last update came like 2 weeks ago. The weird thing is that the phone is very fast, no lag at all, very few touchwiz redraws, very good battery life (one day and half) and I have all the time over 200 mb free ram. I always had only 90-110 mb free, but after this last update the phone rocks. I have over 150 apps installed, over 29 like facebook, google plus, whatsapp, line, falcon pro, google currents, feedly and so on...full of widgets and no bloatware removed.
Looks like Sammy releases the phones in the worst optimization possible, but over the year makes it flawless.
Anybody experiencing the same ?
This is the memory the phone is using right now: http://i.imgur.com/rW0LUZc.png
I pull out the phone from the charger at 8:30 this morning, made 4 calls (2 minutes each) and talked like 5 minutes on Whatsapp, the phone is not in Power Save mode) and is connected by wifi. At 12:19 pm I still have 92% juice.

so your problem is that the phone is too good?

Firmware updates generally do give improvements. Not just security fixing :highfive:

Actually...yes...since the last update. Not sure if it's that particular OTA update or every new update received in the last month. I always complained that the phone have few free RAM memory and is lagging. Wondering.....it was the emmc and the motherboard which have done this trick or the last update ?
I'm asking because I have some friends whose phone is working horrible right now and they are wondering if they should give me their phone to root and flash it with this firmware or their problem is the emmc (sudden dead insane chip)

Note the problem Sudden dead dead as in not working .
Nothing you can flash for a dead phone .
Give you the phone to flash if they want but don't root it for no reason .

Yeah....I will talk with them. I can flash without rooting. I'm curious how good will work this update on their phones.

[Q] After installing Jelly Bean

Hello,
I've had my international Galaxy S3 for about 2 months. It used to freeze randomly when I tried to unlock it where the screen wouldn't turn on so I'd be able to type my password/swipe or unlock it in any way. Until I did a full reset to default factory which fixed it for 2 weeks before it froze again. AND thennn, the Polish Jelly Bean file was leaked and I tried it. Since then I haven't had a single freeze YET and I hoping I don't. I did notice however that the phone has become slower and sluggish since I put Jelly Bean on it. Like, Temple Run or Subway Surf, sometimes I stutter or smth, as if I'm playing on a PC and my frames per second drop to 0 and back then to full in no time which often times makes me lose or w/e. The app menu sometimes slows down while I'm swyping between its pages. The phone feels heavier for some reason. I don't know if that's because I have 1 to 4GB out of 16GB of free space or what.
Some other issues I had that I'm concerned about were, sometimes a tiny touch to the USB cable would disconnect it from my PC, but it would still stay recharging. Before Jelly Bean, I had to do the dark rituals to get my PC recognize that the phone was connected. The camera quality in doors is terrible and s***. I dunno if there is a fix for that or not, but I've read that the phone's camera was manufactured by two different companies and the firmware isn't the same on all phones. So is it possible to fix it through the firmware?
I don't wanna return the phone because I live in Egypt and Samsung's support is pretty terrible. The freezing issue is common here among Samsung phones and I have many friends and colleagues who returned their phones due to freezing, where the support team would keep it for 2 days at their headquarters and the phone wouldn't freeze, so they'd assume that it's fine. I've heard stories of countless tries to return it but in vain.

What exactly are you asking here?
The only question you ask is about the camera; mine is superb when used either indoors or outdoors. My phone has never frozen either.

It may not be a direct question, but I was wondering, what's wrong with my phone?
If this isn't the correct section, where should I post?
One backup data and factory reset or return phone to a service centre or try a Samsung forum .

Bump again.
Returning it for hanging isn't an option. It didn't hang since I updated to Jelly Bean, but rather, it sometimes feels choppy or sluggish when I'm playing games or scrolling through the menus. Like my frames per second would drop for a second. Is that related to the Polish Jelly Bean I've downloaded? Is it a known issue? Should I somehow troubleshoot more before I jump into conclusions?
Why don't you wait for Jelly Bean for your phone .

Dude come on.. Many people installed it.. So I'm asking if this is normal or not.. Why would the Polish version differ from mine? It's only the language.. Both for the international S3.

I used downloaded the Swedish Jelly Bean when it got leaked later on. Works flawlessly. I still stutter from time to time, which can be fixed by rebooting the phone, again, it's much much better than how it was when I bought it.

Do you think Union Group would replace the phone for freezing issues? and if they would how long would it take to receive a new one ?
I heard that they'd take it to test it for maybe 2 days, and it wouldn't freeze when it's with them (or at least they'd claim so). So I doubt. My friend sent his phone like 6 times and it never froze when they tested it. Also, expect them to restore it to its factory defaults. I say, try the Swedish Jelly Bean, it doesn't void your warranty and it takes like 10 mins to get it ready on your phone. If it still freezes, you should consider returning it.
thanks

[Q] Frustrated with desire x

I have posted before too on this issue of random reboots on desire x. It seems that i am the only one who have faced random reboot problem multiple times a day( varies between 1-10).
Now i would like to explain my issue in detail. These restarts DOES NOT occur when i am using the phone and running multitude of apps.
It only occurs when the phone is lying idle or when charging. Sometimes it reboots with white HTC screen while sometimes it gets stuck on a black screen( not switched off), in latter case i have to long press the power button to reboot it again. I can't even leave my phone alone while charging because it may crash which will result in missed calls and messages. The phone worked fine for first 4 months of purchase so may not be hardware related. I did upgrade my software twice from 1.18.401(factory) to 1.18.720 . the latest update was 1 week before the problem started.
I did not spent my $400(Indian price) on buying a buggy phone which bothers me and left me wondering why is it behaving so strangely.
The trouble shooting i performed in last month includes -
FACTORY RESETTING 5 TIMES
RUNNING PHONE WITHOUT SD CARD
RUNNING WITHOUT ANY APPS INSTALLED
PUTTING A WEDGE ALONG BATTERY TO ENSURE GOOD CONNECTION
SCRUBBING BATTERY AND PHONE CONTACTS
USING PHONE ON SEVERAL SIM CARDS
The problem may be network related, i don't know.
I am so disappointed in HTC. Is anybody here on software version 1.18.720 and not facing problem of reboots. If the update is faulty HTC should come up with another one.
I am on a sabbatical and 300 miles far from nearest service station for another month.It makes no sense to cover 300 miles and spend hell lotta money just to get this goddamned thing serviced. My last hopes are on Jelly Bean update to solve this problem which seems to take forever in coming to Asia. Is there any way to go back to 1.18.401 which came natively with my phone or some other way to resolve it.
Thank You
Get it replaced in Warranty. THE JB UPDATE WONT SOLVE THIS ISSUE. As it is specific to some users and not others, so its not a SOFTWARE issue. Its Hardware Fault. Get it replaced ASAP.

Let the warranty guys wonder why the issue happened. Its a costly thing, and warranty is EXACTLY for these type of situations. USE it.
Just save yourself the hassle and get it replaced like nexus suggested if you dig into what the causes are it will take a while because i tried to with an older htc device
Jb wont solve it, if its kinda similar to my problem described in your previous thread, motherboard change is the only option
thanx everybody . so that means i will live with this faulty device for sometime more till i go back to my work place n have access to service station

Thats awfuly bad luck... cant you send it via mail to service centre? In czech republic, there is this posibility (and we are around monkeys level here in whole smartphone situation).
I also have 720.3 but don't have such problem.
That's absolutely a hardware problem,take it to service center asap n dont wait for jb update.

YEA may be i can but that will take forever in India to get a proper response from main htc office/SC that is 3500 miles away. I will be in bangalore in may/june so will directly go the main service centre myself. Additionally I don't think they will replace the phone immediately so sending over mail will be useless if i get the same phone back with some temprory tweaking from their side.
I have 6 months of warranty left till November so if it goes bad let it be, my case will get stronger.
Can i flash my phone back to 1.18.420 myself without voiding warranty.?
In future i will think twice before going for HTC
i read somewhere in forums that android phones also need to cool down for sometime and periodic reboots or what they probably meant is switching off the phone for few mins is essential for long life of the phone but may be its just me

thats old desire trick called "put that brick into freezer", but it doesnt help in long term, youll have to cool it whole time youre using it
RANDOM REBOOTING devices with STOCK ROMs have FAULTY HARDWARE.
I phone shouldnt reboot on heat even with extreme use, and if it does, its faulty.
If you have custom roms or kernels, then it might be due to software issue, but on STOCK, its always HARDWARE.

You remember me about my old Mio A701 phone who started to behave strange for month or two... and after that the radio chip crashed...
Also it happend on my wife's LG phone that a little dirty (mettalic I think) on circuit inside right behind the power plug was able to freeze the phone and some times to restart.
So, if you tried all that things and the problem is not solved then it is a hardware problem! You have to disassemble the phone and repair it! Or go to service center (never I had).
its not a heat problem coz .i can use this device for prolonged sessions. only when the screen is off and network on it reboots
PS. when is jb coming to India
Try one more thing there is a app(don't know name) which can increase the minimum processor frequency
Try that out may be your CPU has very low min speed, don't sure about this but give it a try.
If that requires rooting then don't do it.

Samsung S3 xxEMC2 and xxEMG4 lag/freeze problem, not insane chip f07

i looked on here for tips on how to fix my lag problem
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...php?p=50499120
I dont have the insane chip, u have fw7, bought samsung s3 on may 2013, manufacture date dec 2012. updated the rom 3 times from what i think originally was EMB1-EMB3-EMB5 and now EMC2 (supposedly an excellent stable rom with excellent battery life)
since monday I have been having a lag/freeze problem where the phone will become unsusable for about 5 secs, then if i start typing again, it''l freeze again.
can anyone shed light as to what has happened?
I tried the dummy file generator method, it didn't crash or freeze once when producing 5-6gb of data. it freezes after a few hours use and the only way to get it to work again is to either update an app or remove an app. very strange.
could it be a corrupted chip?
i've just updated to xxEMG4 (dont know why, i downloaded another yesterday but it failed to install so had to download again).
now i've tried it with the xxEMG4 and it still has the same problem, i'm trying to remove apps one by one to see if that improves the situation.
how can i test if my chip is damaged or in bad condition without rooting? is there any apps i can use? i've already tried the brickbug app but i am not rooted so unable to do the memory test
Don't post multiple threads on the exact same subject.

I've been experiencing the same problem lately and think I might found a solution: it seems that, at least in my case, the problem is with the battery.
I switched batteries with a friend and the freezes stopped. The strange part is that my friend doesn't have freezes either.
I really don't know why the freezes happened or why changing the battery fixed it (or why my friend doesn't have the problem when using my battery).
So, try changing the battery if you can and test it. It's been a week with freeze-free for me, maybe it works for you too.
can anyone shed light on what is happening please?
a further update, i removed bbm app from it and tried to recreate the lag and freezing problems and it didn't so i was relieved that it was an app problem all along.. however i was experiencing battery drain problems which i couldnt figure out so i updated to the latest 4.3 and used that for a month. no lag or freeze problems at all.. the only issue is that 4.3 drained my battery quicker than on 4.1.2 as the lowest brightness wasn't as low as on 4.1.2. so i took the plunge and used odin and reflashed a fresh xxemg4 to my s3 on friday. i did a factory reset as settings kept closing and failing then initially when i started using an app it froze for a few secs then was ok so i thought nothing of it.. spoke too soon. i had the newest bbm on 4.3 and for a month did not experience any freezing, but then today it's freezing again!! i'm on 4.1.2 xxemg4 bear in mind.. i immediately removed bbm as that's what cured it originally, but the lagging/freezing is still there and comes abruptly like when i was using 3g, when i switch on wifi it goes away but am unable to recreate the problem,
is it likely that it's a hardware problem with the chip? remember for a whole month while i used 4.3. i had no freeze lag problem whatsoever (i dont want to use 4.3 by the way so that's not a solution) so does that rule out it being a hardware issue and must be software?
i really want to avoid taking it in to a service centre as all they'll do is flash to the latest rom which is 4.3. (which i have already done) and the removing bbm didn't work unfortunately so im stuck now as to what is causing this freezing/lagging??
is there anyway to diagnose it?

so i've tried it for 2 days now and the lag and freeze keeps coming back and the only thing which stops it is if i install another app and it seems to reset for a couple days.. could it be to do with the sudden wake up opening the device?
i dont have the insane chip and it never freezes or lags in 4.3. (but i dont want to use that cos it has bigger battery drain than 4.1.2) is this definitely a hardware issue but if i go to the store they'll just flash it to the latest firmware (4.3.) which i dont want AND it wont freeze lag anymore.. but that still doesn't resolve the underlying issue that it may be a hardware problem with the chip? how would i get them to replace the chip if i cant show them the issue in 4.3.??
can someone help me please???

ok i've diagnosed it down to the fact one of the cores seems to go offline during the freezing lagging and usually after i wake it up from sleep.
i use os moniter which tells me the info about the device.. it's a quad core phone international model and has the cores listed 0, 1, 2, 3.
i've noticed that when it lags and freezes cores 1 and 2 go to 'offline' with a '?' next to the info as oppose to 100000 or 4000000 etc
does anyone have any idea what is happening to my handset?
is it really a hardware issue? as i mentioend before when i used 4.3. i have no lag issues whatsoever at least i think i dont but if there is an underlying hardware issue it'll be hard for me to get this fixed. it seems the firmware just smoothes over the problems rather than fixes it.

Question Reboots

The Zenfone 9 is a great little device. However, since today I have seen several automatic reboots of the device. Anyone else seeing this problem?
I haven't seen a reboot; any new app you've installed of late?
Good hint - I have installed one yesterday. Will uninstall and report back.
Unfortunately is still get 1-2 reboots a day. Not critical but annoying! Anyone else?
I'm on latest update and unlocked+rooted. Not a single unwanted reboot.

Yes I am. No worries. Device is great. Just software.
Did a hard reset - problem persists. Not sure what the cause is - working with Asus support on it.
Hi, a friend of mine with a ZF9 has got reboot every night during charge (he uses slow charge, this night he'll try normal charge).
He had reboot even during daytime, he did a hard reset yesterday and for now everything is ok, but I'll update with new info in case of.
I've been having those reboots for weeks now. There is an official thread on the asus forums talking about it. There are more than a dozen people who have also reported it and from the looks of it, Asus hasn't found the source of the problem yet. Out of curiosity, in which country did you buy it? Are you rooted?
my version is a french version. I neither had any beta OS on it nor was it rooted. I wanted to provide Asus with Logs but they rather wanted the device for repair, now I'm waiting for its return.
I doubt this is a hardware issue though as the reboots did happen in cold state w/o any system activities ongoing. The only special thing on my setup was that I used two sim cards in parallel.
I did a hard reset and he problem remained. I also used slow charging.
I'm from Italy and the phone of my friend is not rooted and with bootlloader locked.
I heard my friend minutes ago, and from when he deactivated programmed charging the issue seems to have disappeared. Have you got programmed charging on?
Yes, I have the upload scheduled. But I'm beginning to suspect that the problem originates from a lot in Italy. I just asked you because I thought it was from there.
Love this phone but also having the same issue. Bought from Asus directly (US site) too. There's a whole thread of folks with the problem too on their forum:
ZenFone 9 randomly restarts
Hi all, I bought an Asus ZenFone 9 from the UK online store. I started to migrate the apps from my old phone to the zf9 and once I finished I started to use my new ZenFone 9 as my main phone. However, I noticed around 3 dso that when i wentato unplug a fter charging the phone it looked as if it...

Try to deactivate it and report please ;-)
My friend hasn't got reboot since then for now, two days and a half ago.
My reboots do not happen while charging, FWIW. And they're always while the phone is idle (sitting on desk). I look up and see it's spontaneously rebooting...
I was having reboots on custom kernel, just updated to 32.2050.2050.34 without going custom kernel (still rooted) and have had no reboots yet.
Mine reboots while watching YouTube app, either with high brightness, while charging, or both. It seems to be less likely to happen if i clear cache from YouTube settings.
It typically doesn't happen in other apps. Phone is stock. EU version.
After testing for a few weeks, there is a good chance that the reboots on my device are due to Magisk (not modules)

Question New firmware 64.1.A.0.913

As I'm rooted, I have to manually check for updates via xperifirm. There was an upsated released: version 64.1.A.0.913.
Anybody updated and tested? Apparently camera apps have been updated! Any new features?
I wont get time to update yet, just thought I'd ask.
Thanks
Unless I'm mistaken, this update allows you to switch from android 12 to android 13
Huh we have android 13 for months now ...so i would say no .
Its for sure a security patch.
Chinese 72 got it 2 weeks ago , european 54 got it a week ago and US has to wait for another two weeks , i wish it would be all at the same time .
Hello,
The only feature I expericence since the upgraded is the "phone too hot warning" issue. I use the phone since late november without any trouble.
For the latest week, the phone displayed the orange warning sign and closed the camera app maybe 10 times. It couldn't even go through a 10 minutes google meet call...
It may not be related to the latest release, and I may be the only one having this issue...

Yeah, you're right about security patch. Thought perhaps something has trickled down from the new phone releases, like improved camera apps as they have changed their version numbers. Thanks

Ouch, sorry to hear that. I will update in a few days and see if I have the same issue. Though tbh, I havent had as many issues as some have, perhaps because of root and cleaning up some bloat and adding in adblockers etc.
You should do a full all apps cache wipe and see if that helps.

I had overheating problems with meet and 5g i was outside but on older different firmware.
You also have to understand now its summer time (probably in your country too) so you cant really compare november temperatures with current ones unless you did that in room with AC on.
I'm on the latest US version so still waiting for our update for this cycle. But since my last update, the phone has been very warm to the touch during normal use and I've seen the heat warning many times while using camera. I have never seen it before. Battery life is crap now too and used to be fantastic. Maybe you guys lucked out last month and the US version got whatever it was to cause the heating issues first? My last update was around 300mb so it was bigger that usual I think.

I had that sometimes on .891 ,couldnt get it to work no matter what but it goes away eventually with restarts .
Edit: i just got the .913 and qr reader works fine. Been using my phone before that for 2 hrs and no overheating ,after installing 913 and checking camera apps for 1 minute my top part of the screen got extremly hot but didnt show any overheating warnings.nothing changed so far in camera related apps (no portrait mode)
