How come my S3 freezes? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

It freezes to a point where I have to take out my battery.... ever since I rooted, that started happening and I removed most of the apps I can download in the store such as kindle, play books, etc but none of the stock apps. I'm TW stock and rooted running faux kernel (btw this also happened to me before flashing the kernel).is there a fix for this annoying issue And sometimes when I download certain apps and open them, it freezes..

Since you're stock already. It's probably only a couple things
1. You installed some kind of mod that is freezing your phone, any kind of optimizing and performance driven app or mod can do this.
2. A hardware problem
So if you feel confident you didn't do anything to cause the issues, then Odin back to stock and use it for a while completely stock. If it's still freezing up then it's a hardware problem, and you should put a warranty claim on your phone.

Thanks for the reply but this also happened to my other s3 when i was on jelly beans rom but I did noticed that on the AOSP roms, my s3 barely freezes.... I don't know if it was the stock apps I uninstalled?

Use a different kernel like Zeus kernel or DKP. Faux's kernels are a big fail.

Ok thanks

No what you need to do is go load stock like BadUserName suggested. The number 1 rule when troubleshooting anything in life is to put it back to the way it was when you got it. In this case that means Odin back to stock. Do NOT install any kernels or CPU adjusting apps. I wouldn't even root or unlock. If it still happens its the phone.

TouchWiz 4 problems

I installed TouchWiz 4.5 from the xda forum. It was fine the first 2 days then on the 3rd day the phone would seem to want to force close but then turn off since TW was the primary launcher. Later that day I switched over to a custom launcher and it never turned off on its own.
Thanks

So are you asking for help on tw, our have you already settled in with another launcher and no longer need any help? i would try fixing permissions in recovery and trying again if you want to keep tw. also, what rom are you on?

I want to continue to use TW and I am running a deodexed and rooted KF2.
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
I had a similar problem when installing Audiophile 1.7. TW would force close on me like mad. I eventually installed a different launcher which seemed to work fine.

[Q] How do I reinstall stock applications on my S3?

I recently flash CM10, and I lost all my stock GS3 applications that came with my s3. I would like to know where I could get them all and how to install them, Because I know they will not install just by putting them on the SD-Card and trying to install them that way.
Thanks In Advance...

What do you mean? They come installed on the phone... Are you on ROM that didn't have them or something?
Yes im on CM10

Some of them show in your apps in play store

Pretty sure you can't use some sammy apps on cm10 you'd have to flash back to stock.

did u flash gapps package after cm10?
I think he is looking for touchwiz applications that will work with CM10, if im readin correctly.
go to the "My Apps" on Plat store then to All Apps and it they might be there, most of them were for me.
If you want TW apps don't flash an AOSP ROM...
New here?

If you are running a custom ROM, some will allow Google to redownload them through Playstore, but some dont. I was using SynergyRom and I had to re install all of my apps manually, but Ive since switch over to CleanRom 2.0 and when my phone rebooted, it already started downloading and installing my apps right away that I had on my Stock out of the box Rom. Everything you download and install from PlayStore is backed up on Google servers(If you have the option to back up apps checked in settings) for easy reinstall on a new or different device or if you have to do a factory wipe.
check play store alot of verizon apps are there

P6200 [Stock Honeycomb] [rooted] Freezing and locking up

Hello there, my brother has a Tab Plus P6200. He got it 10 days ago.
The first thing he did was root it by going into recovery and installing root.zip from SD card.
It was fine until today when it started freezing and locking up all the time. The only solution is to reset it by holding the power/lock button to force reset it.
As soon as it boots, it freezes. Sometimes he can unlock it and swipe through the homescreens, sometimes it even freezes before he gets to unlock it. Even if he gets to unlock it, it would freeze after a minute or maybe less. He can't do anything on it.
I was gonna recommend a data wipe from srock recovery but thought that it's easier that he try and get it replaced under warranty.
Just wanted to know whether there's anyone else that has experienced this and if there's a quick solution for it.

I sorta had that same problem when I first bought my tab. Honeycomb is really terrible. I kept it only one day then I flashed my tab with cm9 and now I'm running cm10 and all is good. Maybe he should try that

That's a good suggestion however it might void the warranty if I can't flash back to stock or it bricks and I can't reset the counter.
Anyway I showed him CM9 and CM10 on my Note and he didn't like them very much. He prefers the TW ROMs.
Oh and by the way, is stock recovery safe on Honeycomb? Does it have the emmc bug like the ICS kernels? I might give it a shot with wiping data/factory reset. That won't void the warranty though, right?

Change your root file. Your version of firmware is incompatible with the root file you're using.

Jelly bean problem

Hey guys i got one annoying issue and maybe its just me? I installed three different Jb builds, one was odin flash and other two were flash zips. Now my problem is that when i recieve a txt or missed call, and i wake the phone i get that (swipe across) tutorial message every time it wont go away no matter what i do. It comes back every time. Wtf
Any ideas are appreciated.
And yes i deselected the box in lock screen settings
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
I assume you're talking about jelly bean touchwiz, and based on what i know about touchwiz (haven't used it in a month or two) i believe there is a setting to turn off the tutorial messages.
Try freezing Help. I've never had the problem, but that's what I've heard has been people's fix.

Beans ROM causing major issues!!!!!

I never had a problem with anything until I flashed beans build 6. I did a clean install but ever since my phone has been freezing nonstop. I have to battery pull every time and it is getting frustrating. I went back to build 5 on a clean install and the same thing occurs. I even tried downloading my apps one by one from the play store instead of restoring from titanium and I still get this issue. Someone please give me some enlightenment I'm desperate!

1) What does a full wipe consist of in your case?
2) Freezing as in you can't do anything at all or freezing as in laggy? How long did you have Beans Build 5 and/or 6 installed?
3) did you have the AOSP Lockscreen installed via Aroma (when you first flash the rom)? if so, did you deselect ALL the TW options under Settings/Lockscreen?
4) Do you check the md5 before flashing build 5 or build 6? If not, what do they say when you check now?
AOSP lock screen was the culprit that required me to pull my battery. I have no problems with the tw lock screen on B6. Battery life, GPS, performance is great on B6.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
When you enable AOSP lock screen you must disable all other functions in the same settings menu. Everything must be off. I'm running it flawlessly after doing so.

Full wipe for me would be factory reset/system/cache/dalvic
It would freeze and I wouldn't be able to do anything so I had to battery pull
I had some settings turned on for touch wiz lock screen and I've turned them off since and I think that may have been the culprit. They were there as default however.
Also how would I go about checking md5

When in doubt, restore to stock and do the rooting process again. Try backing up your SD, wiping it, and putting it back on too. Basically do some spring cleaning, you're phone's getting dusty! (I'm joking because these will probably work)

That's exactly what I did. Then switched to TW 4x5 launcher and also changed to CWM recovery (before re flashing ROM) and all my issues went away. Don't know if Nova was the issue or not but it works great now. Fast and smooth. Even running IMO lean kernel with no problems. Here's the quadrant score.

Didn't realize Quadrant was so frowned upon around here. Sorry for posting. Have used other benchmarks and with B6 have achieved scores very close to the supposed reigning benchmark king that I will not mention lol. Either way, I'm very happy with the speed and smoothness of B6 now. Once B7 corrects the email issue and I'm assuming will be based on the official OTA release tomorrow I think I've found my daily driver. Great ROM.

I was using cwm and switched to twrp actually and I think that may have helped... There is no telling though. I would go back to cm10 but I have constant call issues with it even with late builds. Probably my phone being temperamental though. I am one that believes in doing clean installs though so I know my problems aren't from a so called dirty flash. I wish I could import my desktop layout into trebuchet because I always feel that it was the fasted launcher for me.

I don't know. Weird. I did flash another ROM between 5 and 6. That may have started my issues. Hoping Eclipse updates And gets 4.2 along with Google now. If so, I'll go back to that. Only non TW ROM I liked. Very fast and no issues with Eclipse 2.1 build 4.

I've flashed almost every ROM available and I always find that builds that are built off cm10 with more customizable options always give me issues for some reason. I was s strong believer in cm10 until I tried out beans with the new aosp options.
