My wife's stock s3 keeps throwing this code. Its never the same app that it appears in and it does it also when she is not using her phone. It really doesn't hinder her using the phone, but is pretty annoying. I can't find much about it. Any thoughts?

The only thing I can think of is to try a factory reset and see if that fixes the issue. You can use Carbon backup to backup all of her apps and data, the phone doesn't need to be rooted in order to use it.
Sorry I wish I had a better answer, but with it being random it might be best to start fresh.

Can I remove the browser, email and messaging apps? I currently have them frozen in TB with no negative outcome. I simply don't use them, ever.

Short answer, yes.
Long answer, yes but it's probably not a good idea to do so.

A lot of things rely on then to function. Freezing isn't the same; I freeze Wifi Calling with no issues but when I try to uninstall it I get constant force closes every second until I do a battery pull, and that's on a bit of propriety software! I sincerely doubt letting Messaging or the like exist is hurting you enough to warrant risking potently annoying problems

I just hate having things installed I don't use, like rom manager and dev tools. Never use either.

Those apps are tied to android system dunno why it wont give fc on freeze since its almost the same as uninstalling them. But ya if you did delete those you would get tons of fc on startup and be forced to do a battery pull and reflash rom or backup.

Because you also need to delete the corresponding .so file in the lib folder.

If you are on a stock rom and delete system apps you can never install any future OTA updates. The updates check all system files first and make sure they are unchanged. If you freeze apps you just defrost them before installing an OTA. If you deleted them then no chance of OTA update, period. If you are not on a stock rom then it doesn't matter. You might wind up with a continuous force close issue that requires reflashing the rom.

I just froze them instead. Maybe before I flash my next rom I'll give it a go.

I got rid of stock browser and tmobile stuff off of my phone and didn't receive FC's.
The downside ro this is if you remove the browser or anything when you do a hard reset it won't be there so you have to rely on a back up and be careful what you unistall.
I learned that the hard way when i first started with android. I unistalled swype since i use SwiftKey but did a hard reset to clear everything out and well i couldn't log in to my google account at the beginning because there was no virtual keyboard to use.

Honestly guys I can't. Sorry . I suppose if you weren't switching roms it would be ok. Its just that in my one year history here at xda I have heard from alot of well seasoned users say not to do it. Also I have seen alot of trouble for people that have done it. So I just simply don't do it. Wish I could explain more

backing up and restoring system data is fine if you dont switch roms or even switch to a different version of the same rom (sometimes its ok, sometimes not)
i have done it, but its typically not recommended.

Same here. I never backup data. WHY?? Good Question?? What I've seen on XDA, people who do have a lot of issues with force closes etc. I just use it to back up my Apps so I don't have to do them one by one.

if you backup system data from one rom and restore to another, when you reboot you will get nothing but force closes. you will have to reflash your rom to fix it.
if you are flashing the same version of the rom and just want all your stuff the same, it shouldnt affect anything

USER data is perfectly safe to backup. i get sick of so many people spreading untruths around about TiBu (i have seen tons)....backing up and restoring USER DATA AND APPS is perfectly fine. I have been using Titanium Backup for over a year and a half and have had more mobile devices in that timeframe than most have ever had in their lives, and every one of them i was able to use Titanium Backup to restore apps+data from OTHER devices to each other. hell, i share the same TiBu folder between my gs2, incredible s, and my vivid right now. then i have a modified version of the same folder for my galaxy tab (removed all phone-related apps)
^^^^^ this
I've migrated app backups through 3 different android phones, no problems. As for system data, bad idea. Entering your email address is far easier than reflashing a rom because of fc's

Yea I've had the same problem. Some people are able to freeze it but I've tried on my last s3 and this replacement one. It'll freeze then as soon as I restart there defrosted. Its weird.
Tap'n
Same problem here, I even tried disabling them on another non rooted phone.
I can't imagine any problems from uninstalling them, but I just got used to freezing them on reboot or just leaving them alone.
Glad I'm not the only one having this issue.

Virus? Not enough information to tell you. Sounds fishy to me. Check which app is consuming the data.
Yeah I looked at the app thing and I tried a virus scan and there is none. The notification hasn't showed up for a few hours now. And a search of the phone yesterday brought up the file and I deleted it hoping the message wouldn't show up again but it was there this morning. Google was no help. Now I am using a system monitor to see if it is an app causing this phenomenon.

When did it start? Where did you get the device from? Is it a knock-off China phone?
It started 1.5 daze ago. Yeah I imagine the phone is from China like everything else is, but it was bought through koodo. Maybe they did this? Maybe a conspiracy in the works? Or it's this rom I got on here, CM7 I just thought it was an odd thing to notify me about over and over. We'll see what happens. Thank you from China:beer:

Oh, if you flashed your own ROM, then I wouldn't worry about factory-installed spyware.
Keep an eye on it. If it doesn't come back, you're probably ok. Pirated apps (if present) could also be a source of problems, though.
I've had a problem with my skyrocket for quite some time now. No matter which radio, ROM, or kernel I use the data will be hit and miss and so won't phone calls and messaging. I've already had one skyrocket replaced because of this issue and even got a replacement SIM card to no avail. I get full bars of H+ service. I've tried adding different APNs as well. The AT&T store is obviously stumped (they are basically worthless) and phone support is no better. I was wondering if anyone knew of this problem and what caused it or a way to fix it.

I will take it to them and try to get a replacement or a different phone. I got my first one within the 30 day return period but I have had my current phone for about two months. I also forgot to mention that if I throw it against the wall or smack it against my hand, the message will usually go through. Now, I don't usually go throwing my electronics around haha. I only did this after it started happening and that always seemed to make it work.
