I wish I could post this in the CW10 thread, but I'm still not allowed. :-\
My phone has been lagging recently, and I know it's in places where it shouldn't. The touch response will lag up to 30 seconds while loading into an app, like messaging or Chrome. I'm not sure exactly how to tell if it's something that's CW10's fault (no one else has said anything similar), or something I've done wrong, or just a lame device. Does a working device ever lag? Should it? It runs flawlessly a lot, so I wouldn't think so.

got mine yesterday and when i use the browser the screen starts flickering and distorting anyone else had this problem??
please take a look at the photos
Not noticed that myself but I have been using Chrome.
i have noticed that on a couple of times, don't know why but it has gone away. but it's strange
To me it looks like either the LCD is damaged or the LCD connector has a problem with it. Return it for a new one

I have the exact same thing!
I made a topic of this myself.
Someone above said this is hardware, but i doubt this, because this glitch is only on the drop down menu, it is not random but outlined. A screen problem would cause this at any place on the screen.
What do you guys think of this?
Seems to be a Tegra3/ICS issue. The Transformer Prime had similar problems for months.
is this the screen glitch u guys are talking about or is it another screen glitch type?
if it is the former, i have not had it yet in the 4 days i have the phone..
try to use a different browser like dolphin or chrome or whatever

Ah I assumed that it was constantly like that. I assume factory resets have been tried

it seems a problem with the 'internet' browser, hopefully a software issue.uw

I was half tempted to get the One x because I thought they learned from the Sensation but guess not. This is the real problem of having your own skin, you break a perfectly good OS.

Try it with other browser. I believe it is the screen defect. Mine doesn't hv those glitches issues mentioned in the forum nor the yellow tint problem

Same here. I also haven't this problem also not in the standard browser.
Haven't noticed that myself over the 5 days I've had the phone.

Saw it on my phone yesterday for like 3-4 seconds...i was using whatsapp that time...so i dont think its only related with the browser...
Same thing here
Same thing happened when I was on ARHD 1.2.0 in Netflix. See attachment.
I also get this screen problem. It is software/firmware corruption, and not a hardware fault as far as I can tell.
It happens at random in the stock browser, or at least appears random - I haven't found a link to any website or user action yet.
It does seem it might be related to anything involving animated menus with gradient colour or transparency - that's just a passing observation though.
My gnex is behaving weird......
I press something it opens something else.......i press on what'sapp it opens Google play store... even while typing it certainly opens notifications....or it types something else......

Deja vu. I'm on vacation and there's a lot of kids which have already managed to scratch my screen. Anyway, this same thing happened to me, I though one of the kids got water on it to cause it to happen. I ended up wiping it for like 30 minutes straight with a fiber cloth. Nothing was working I started crying and went to bed. When I woke up....yay.

Hey,
I would say to have a look inside it. I think that it is that digitizer that may be causing the issue. Make sure the connections are connected properly. If the device is still under warranty then get it returned and looked at. That isn't a software issue from what I can tell. There is also a chance that it could be that the screen needs recalibrating? Not sure on that one though
Problem solved....... did nothing......... just left it for a while and it was gone......

Hey all!
I haven't had much to post about my Galaxy SIII (Sprint) before till recently.
Lately I have noticed that the screen locks up. Doesn't really seem to correlate with what I am doing, but it just freezes. Sometimes I get a black screen if I start an app and sometimes it is when I pull down the notifications screen. I have seen this described before but no real suggestions on how to fix my device from freezing several times a day.
Today, The phone icon in my lower tray keeps disappearing.
Also, the phone dialed itself (the last number I called) and froze so I couldn't hang up the call! I had to do a battery pull!
Not sure what is going on with my phone, but it is time to call in the experts.
Could it be that I have some sort of malware? Is there even malware for androids? Do any of the programs work to remove it??
Any suggestions would be really appreciated!
Thanks all
Mike
AVG from Google Play works very well, and it's free, and it doesn't run in the background if you set it up that way. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...e&utm_medium=organic&utm_term=google+play+avg

Are you on a custom ROM, or rooted, do you have custom recovery if so which one? Can't really help you by what you posted. Unless you are downloading 3rd party apps that aren't from the play store its probably not malware. Here is a malware app to run though https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.lookout

Yeah. +1 on this 100%. Google screens the majority of apps and they're constantly on the look out to make sure apps arent messing with your phone in a way that they shouldn't.
I've said this many times in many threads and I will say it again here.
The best anti-virus is an observant end-user. Just watch what apps you install and what permissions they ask for (for example a game app doesnt need access to your contacts) and you will be good.
So wait, I shouldn't install this file I found off of Google? It's filename is: "totally_not_a_virus.apk"
Sounds legit to me!
But yeah, to OP, it sounds like you might want to do a clean flash of your room and see if that helps.

Anyone else getting many touches for one touch? For instance if I type "STUPID", I may end up with "STUUUPIIDDD". It's not quite that excessive, but wanted to get the point across. One touch results in multiple letters/clicks every now and then.
Think this is a hardware issue, or something they may be able to tweak with an update?
How 'bout you?
Yea. Not bothersome though.

Oh, it's hella-bothersome. Could be worse if it did it more, but it's still far too much for a "flagship" device.
i bet it's a 4.3 issue or something they overlooked..i remember when there were touch issues back on 4.1 i think ti was...remember on the Gnex, when after you'd touch recent apps, touch sensitivty would drop like crazy and you'd have to shut the screen off and turn it back on?
probably something stupid like that lol

I'm all updated, still seeing it. Not a lot, but enough to be irritating.
I'm having this problem as well. Just got my nexus about 2 hours ago and trying to set it up I'm seeing that long presses are sometimes hard to perform and sometimes scrolling lists will perform a button click on items when I was in the middle of a swipe gesture. I'm also seeing the keyboard issue. I thought it might be a stock keyboard problem but switched it out to thumb keyboard and I'm having the same issue.
My device forced an update right after I turned it on. It connected to wifi and then rebooted, ran the update, then restarted and had to go through the wizard again. Got into the OS and it said there was another system update. Checked version and it was 4.3 but did the update again. Still 4.3 after update. Was strange.
This keyboard issue is annoying enough that I'm thinking about RMA already. The device is pretty amazing other than that
Haven't seen that yet, but I'm using the latest phone version of SwiftKey.
Edit: I'm on JSS15J

I think its just that the screen is super sensitive. I am finding it very difficult to type without having these issues. However I am getting used to it, so my typing is getting better and faster.
I bet in a month or so once you fully "learn" the response of the tablet you won't have these issues anymore.

^^ Exactly. it'll take a bit of time to get used to it. Plus, "SSSTTTTUUUPPIIIIDDD" sounds nice... wonder if its the problem with STUPID only... or some other words too
I thought I was going crazy for a little bit. I'm getting the same thing on Swype.

Hello everyone. I've been experiencing a problem lately that has me scratching my head. The phone for no reason and at random times because super sluggish like the frame rate or something is super low.. It seems to be most apparent in the launcher.. It happens at random even if the phone is cool or hot. Happens on touchwiz launcher as well as nova launcher.. Clearing ram and open apps doesn't work... The only thing that makes the phone go back to normal is a reboot. This also happens on any custom ROM. With stock or custom kernel.. So.is this a CPU hardware problem? Has anyone else had this happen? It's already been happening quite often and its becoming annoying. Factory resets don't solve it either as it comes back randomly. If anyone can shed some light please do.

I would contact T-Mobile it could be a phone problem if you are seing it after an Odin back to stock. That would be my only suggestion is an Odin back but since you already did that I would see about getting the phone switched out

Explain to tmobile what's happening and let them know you want a new device. they are very easy to work with and tmobile won't make you prove anything. Ive been with tmobile for ten years now. Trust me they are easy to work with if you explain the situation and let them know it clearly interferes with your ability to use the device as it should be used. You should have ZERO problems with returning the device. By the way sounds like your device DOES have serious problems so id call tmobile as soon as possible. They MIGHT try trouble shooting it FIRST as this is procedure they HAVE to follow simply let them know after trouble shooting that your issue IS STILL PRESENT and they will exchange your device for a new one without issue...so call them asap. You won't have any trouble. You will see. They are very EASY to work with so NO WORRIES. Call and get your device exchanged NOW. Hope this helps you out. I've had a LOT of expirence working with tmobile. It won't be a problem. Youll see. Best wishes to you and hope you get this matter resolved today.

I'll have to agree here. I've had many issues over the years (anyone remember the LG G2X?), and they will stand by you. Sometimes you have to squawk loudly, but they want you to be happy...
Unlike Sprint.....I hate Sprint
Edit: If you're not happy with their response, just escalate it to Customer retention...they have the real power.
I had bad lag when I was trying to text, send an email, or anything involving using the keyboard. I flashed a ROM thinking that would take care of the issue . It didnt, still had hang ups and lag. I flashed back to stock and received a new phone and havent had an issue yet.
