My GT-I9300 overheating problem. - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi I wanted to ask you about a heating problem with my galaxy s3 .
I flashed the boeffla kernel in the archi port rom with android 4.4.2 , and I overclocked it to 1.6 ghz ,
I've done that with cyanogenmod 11 and have not encoutered any problems but needed to change to a touchwiz rom since cyanogenmod doesn't have hdmi capability
Everything worked fine for a month but after that my phone feels slightly warm when browsing/watching videos and feels hot playing intensive games like asphalt 8
I put the frequency to 1.4 ( the default one ) but it did not stop so I reflashed the archiport rom ( thought the stock kernel would fix it ) but it didn't
I even restored a backup of my phone in cyanogenmod 11 but it did not stop
I want to ask you for help since you are very good at this, and I have an extra question : Do you think flashing the stock android 4.3 firmware with odin will help ?
I am sorry if I posted in a bad section this is my first thread here .

It s normal that phone overheats. But if it overheats too much that s not good. Try to reflash 4.3 with odin and see if the problem persists.

Hi I have flashed the androis 4.3 and have noticed improvement
I dont have any heat using apps like chrome and xda free ( it got a little warm when I browsed with chrome with other roms ) and when I played angry birds go , it got a little warm when I turned the app and stayed like thst without a tempersture change
I included the screenshot of the time they used the cpu
I know I screwed up a little with overclocking but is my warmness when playing 3d games normal now

[q] tap tap revenge 4

hey, so ive up installed 2.3.4 on i9000 and it suddenly while playing started lagging the balls werent going smooth , in comparation with 2.2.1 its super slow and laggy , please , i saw a thread here but nobody could respond properly
is this an official update from 2.2.1 to 2.3.4 or are you talking about custom roms? if you are talking custom roms, you can try using another kernel or consider using another custom rom. if you are talking about an official update, i suggest trying custom roms
my original rom was 2.3.3 , but ive compared to my moms one which is 2.2.1 //
ive flashed it with the latest ROM on sammyfirmware , kinda very strange because on quadrant its above the nexus even , but a simple tap tap game is laggy ..

[Q] Stable MIUI Room ?

Guys
Can someone point me out to a stable and fully functional MIUI rom for galaxy s2 ? . I could not find any info regarding the rom on MIUIs website as well
I use Galnet Miui (galnetmiui.co.uk) 2.11.26 and have had minimal problems.
Now...
Just because it works well for me does not mean you will have the same experience with this rom. Your phone will have been built ever so slightly differently to mine so far as the "quality" of the components go, you will have different apps installed on your phone and you will have different usage patterns to me.
So what I'm saying is by all means try it out, but also try out other roms & see how they work for you.
I find it impossible to believe you went to Miui.com, clicked on the english site & couldn't find the downloads. That tells me you didn't try hard enough, so I suggest you go back there and have a proper look. Also, you can have a look at Miui US, their rom is a different take on Miui again.
If you're not the sort of person who's prepared to do a bit of searching and experimenting with your phone, and you want a rom that's always stable , I suggest you leave your phone on stock firmware & just enjoy a fantastic phone (the phone is brilliant just running stock).
Thanks mate for the detailed reply . I did find the download section ! , however i did not find any help on its forums regarding the quality of the ROM ( what is working and whats not ) . And i still cannot find it
And i can search and experiment . Running CheckRom V4 for a while now and its pretty nice !
"Quality" is a subjective thing. It gets back to what I was saying about different people having different experiences with different roms.
So far as what works & what doesn't, there should be a changelog with every version of the rom, I know there is for Galnet's roms and I'd be very surprised if there's not for Miui's roms (which means I'm not going to do the searching for you).
I installed the miui.us rom . Apparently everything is working . Just the video in 720 or 1080 is not working !
is that working in the Galnet`s rom ? you can atleast tell me that

It was 1.12.30
But i am back to CheckRom . Was having a few problems with the Rom
* SMS app was giving constant FC ( even after trying the fix )
* Camera app was closing randomly without any errors etc
* Phone was running too Hot
* Quadrant score went down from 3600 to 2800 ( not bothered that much with that )
Just for you (because I've come to like you somewhat during the time this thread has been in existence), I tested 1080HD video just now and it works quite fine.

Do you mean that all roms here are not always stable?
Yep that's exactly what I mean. It's pretty rare to run a custom rom and not have any issues (mostly minor issues tho, mind you) at all. So many different apps, some of which work perfectly with some roms/kernels yet are nothing but trouble with others.
Stock has had the absolute living crap tested out of it by Samsung and if you want (almost) absolute stability with almost no problems whatsoever, then stock is what you want to run on your phone. On the other hand, if you're spending time on a site like this chances are stock just isn't your thing and you're more than prepared to put up with little issues that come up occasionally running a custom rom/kernel.
I know I am. I can't see any reason why I'd ever go back to stock, I can't think of a "gamechanger" or feature Samsung could put in a stock rom that couldn't be made to work in a custom rom by the *really* talented devs who post here that would make me go back to stock.

4.3 Samsung (Graphics Gaming Issues)

Hello guys , im here because i recently update my s3 to the Sensation rom v9 based on 4.3 official . as many users around i like gaming on my phone, the fact is that i like very much the NFs Most Wanted . i've never had issues with it on previous roms (4.1.2 or 4.2.2) actually is the best graphics ive seen on a mobile racing game.. Now im on 4.3 (i tried the official and some other custom 4.3 roms) and the results are the same. Nfs Mw keeps going so slow. It keeps frezing from time to time, and even some times when im starting the game it force closes. i beleave this i not a game version issue because i tried another versions too. and the result are the same. Maybe this is a kernel problem? (BTW the sensation v9 rom uses 4.3 china kernel mixed up with 4.3 UK files) .. is anyone having this problem with this or any other game?

[Q] A couple of questions regarding my S3

Hello Everyone,
I have some queries regarding my S3, I would appreciate helping me in answering them
1. Is 4.3 stable in general ( Regardless of the ROM ) !? , I mean was it released "officially" by Sammy and users around some parts of the world begun to receive the updates !?
2. Now I have been on "Android Revolution HD" for quite some time now , I've been on 29.0 (which I liked). But recently I updated to 40.0 (which I didn't like that much [ battery drain, lagging ... ] ) . Might those problem I've been having related to the fact that I didn't Wipe !? ( even though I was upgrading the same ROM )
3. In short words. what is PROS and CONS of flashing a custom kernel !? Cuz I'm thinking of doing that !?
Sorry if It's too much ,
4.3 is stable if you use the Chinese kernel. If you have any problem with a rom the first step is to full wipe and reflash. Custom kernel is personal choice, like the rom. Asking for recommendations is against the rules and will get your thread locked.

Thank You , I edited the last part out
so what does affect the battery operation more, the kernel !? or the ROM !?
The screen on time effects battery time most, followed by what the phone is doing while it's in standby. Custom kernels add tweaks for the enthusiast, to fiddle with things you can't with stock, but best battery life comes from disabling apps & services which run all the time. Rom is very much like a wife, you have to find one you can live with -the good thing about xda is you can try several before settling down.
