Not a good update - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

Hey
I did an update from Settings - About - Software Update
to newest Jelly Bean 4.1.4.
And after that it became a bit annoying. It freezes for few seconds before exiting camera; sometimes even gives me error CAMERA FAILURE
+ the received email/sms are FULLY shown in notifications, which i want to move back, as it was (as a small preview of first few words of email/sms)
so is there a possible way of rolling it back, to Android 4.0.4. the one i had before. that was originally installed on it, WITHOUT rooting the phone? (cuz it will kill the guaranty from the seller)

Your best bet is to do a factory reset.

You can Odin back to ics but you'd need to root to stop the update notifications.

[Q] Issue after ICS update - Phone freezing

After the ICS update on my non-rooted phone, the phone seems to be freezing
up and becoming unresponsive. After a while it looks like the radio "resets", all
the icons disappear in the top bar (signal, wifi, data) and it shows no service.
Then slowly one by one they all come back and I can use the phone again.
Sometimes I receive the "System is not responding" dialog box, but not always.
There is not one particular program it is doing this in, it can be something as
simple as pulling down the notification bar that will cause the freeze.
Any suggestions are appreciated, I couldn't find anyone else with the same issue.
Thanks.
Try:
Turn off phone
Take out SIM
Put SIM back
Turn on
I've had my phone act weird with respect to signal, wifi and data when this was the issue. Worth a shot, at the very least.

Thank you for the response.
Tried this and had the system is unresponsive issue right on reboot. If I do a
factory reset, does it reset to the current firmware or what was originally on the
phone (probably a really stupid question). I wonder if some other program isn't
ICS compatible and is doing something in the background. Doesn't look like
anyone else is having this same issue.

If you do a factory reset and it was the standard Kies legit update from Tmo, it won't downgrade your phone - will just re-install a fresh copy of your ICS. Did you do a restore of apps from your last version (gb?) with data? That could cause problems I would think..

Yes I did the legit update on Kies, standard stock phone un-rooted.
Do I need to backup pictures before the reset, its been a while since
I had to do this.
At this point, I think its worth a try to wipe it clean and clear out all the
data.

wipe the dalvik cache and cache then reboot
I did a factory reset and that solved the issue.
Thanks for all the assistance.
I've done a factory reset and wiped the cache more than once already and i still get a force close or unresponsive, enough that its really irritating me now. Any advice? And also, when texting, the typing responds very slow.

Are you letting it sit for like 10 minutes during first boot after factory reset then reboot again before setting up. Its likely that some scripts are running from the initial installation and you need to let it rot until its done..
I did exactly that, thanks for the advice. Hoping that may fix the problem. I wiped the cache and factory reset, then let the phone sit for a good while before going through the play store and re-installing everything.
This issue just resurfaced again. The last 2 days I am getting the freezing, radio reboot and android process not responding.
No one else having this issue?
I think I'm in the same boat. I was stock GB, and just did the mini OTA update (which was great). A few days later ICS became available via Kies from T-Mobile, and I "upgraded".
Since the upgrade my phone is laggy, screen is significantly less responsive and also my battery life is less than before.
I have NOT done a factory reset of my phone yes (plan on doing that today), but even with that I have read that performance does not improve.
Ideally, I would love to return back to the stock tmobile gb firmware. However, even after literally 2 hours of reading I can't find the "how-to" and files I need.
I would appreciate any assistance.
t989 chip lags
ive notice this happen on my tmobile galaxy s2. i think it has to do with the Qualcomm chip on tmobiles stock roms.
When i had sprint i bought my girlfriend a galaxy s2 on the sprint network which runs the samsung exynos chip. She never complained about any lag or freezing whatsoever. I then left sprint because of their garbage network and joined tmobile.
bought 2 galaxy s2s and i noticed the lag almost immediately. The phone has random lag spikes as well as freezing and force closes. It had it on stock gingerbread and it has it on stock ICS too.
My girlfriend complains about freezing all the time so i decided to root her phone too. Right now im testing DarkSides v7 rom and if its pretty good in performance i will flash her phone with it too. So far it has been pretty snappy and everything works.

follow that first post. i went through exactly the same problems and found this guide and am now happy again and running stock GB on my Galaxy S2.
Because you are on stock ics (im guessing you are..), you can just follow that guide and flash the UVLDE update.
Yes clock resets to standard standard time.. I already did a factory reset and worked done for a couple weeks. My wife has same phone and she is getting the freeze ups now.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try. But it really shouldn't be necessary on a phone that's got more going for it than the stock nexus that 1st came out with ics.
There's something else going on.

Several issues with JB

Recently I bought myself a Galaxy Nexus after owning a Nexus S for 1,5 year.
I never had issues with the Nexus S (even with JB), however this seems a different story on the GNX.
My issues:
- Youtube doesn't play videos and crashes
- Gallery crashes when looking at videos. I get a black screen when playing a video but it doesn't start to play, when I press back the system doesn't react, pressing home returns me to the home screen.
- Face unlock doesn't start it's process and I'm redirected to enter my PIN
Any ideas? I noticed the factory JB 4.1.1 image is released, maybe I should place a clean image on my GNX?
Thanks for all comments!
Are you currently on a stock or custom ROM?
I have this problem here many and many times too with a stock rom.. Yesterday I reinstalled the factory ROM 4.1.1 but the problem persists, I think it's a bug in this version because in 4.0.4 doesn't have this problems..
I don't have this problem and I very much doubt many do. I suspect you may have a hardware problem. Probably faulty memory.

I don't think is a problem of faulty memory, it is difficult to reproduce this bug, you must open a video in the gallery or on youtube, watch the video and pause, after a few minutes reopen a video and do that sometimes and you have the problem ..
I've never had anything like this happen on jb.. .
I don't have this problem - did you try deleting the Youtube app and reinstalling it?
It might be worth trying to do a total hardware reset if you have a couple hours.

I've done it already, I've deleted the cache's app and the problem continues, it does not happen right the first time, occurs after about 10 times you watch a video and then watch again ..
It's a new phone. It came with ICS 4.0.1 which went to the OTA upgrade path: 4.0.2, 4.0.4 and then 4.1.1. So completely stock.
I also notice that the camera app doesn't come up (the same problem which does occur when unlocking with face unlock).
Pictures from the gallery show up without problems.
What are the best steps to have a complete hardware reset? Flashing the stock JB 4.1.1 factory image via fastboot?
If it's hardware defect, is there a offline diagnostic tool I can run on my GNX?
I appreciate all replies!
For me the only way to solve that is using the 4.0.4 stock ROM

Today I returned my Galaxy Nexus to the shop. I will get a new one as soon they're back on stock.
I returned to my Nexus S which has JB, unfortunately it seems JB is still not as stable as ICS. Had some Google Talk crashes today.
Never had a crash on my Nexus S on ICS.
Edit: Nevermind I didn't read your last post completely.
Glad to see you're getting a new one
I'm also waiting for a replacement for mines (kept crashing randomly). It will arrive on thursday.

I think I figured out how to solve these bugs, here they stopped to occur after disabling facial recognition, use another way to unlock your phone and make sure that they stopped

Probably the people who reported not having the bug doesn't use face recognition, I think this is the reason for very few people reporting this bug.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
I've never had these issues and I used face recognition since the first day I got the phone.
Meanwhile I got a brand new Galaxy Nexus, however after one week of use the same problems returned!
I wonder if an app or something else is causing these problems.
I have not had these issues, you probably have a faulty phone.
It can't be that I have two times a faulty phone? First one was delivered with the Google ROM, the second one with the Samsung ROM which I changed immediately to the official yakyu ROM.

Sending my GSII for warranty repair

So over the weekend, my phone started rebooting on its own..Thought it was a ROM bug, but every ROM I switched to (Even clean backups) would have an issue with locking the phone (Lockscreen would come back on within a second) and automatically shutting down/rebooting.... So I Odin'd back to stock and sent it to Samsung... Should I have any worries about them being able to see I was rooted at any point? I know this is such a noob question, but I just want the damn thing fixed without issues. Thoughts?

Simple answer, no they will never know, descriptive answer lol, 9x out of 10 sammy never turns the phones on, u will probably get a completely diff phone back, all they do with these is either wipe and reflash if its a software issue, or junk for parts and refurbs if its hardware related, I've never seen an issue with any Hercules warranty because of rooting

OTA 5.1.1 Bugs/Fixes

Just updated to the new OTA 5.1.1 2 days ago. So far I like it and it is very responsive. I do however have an annoying bug that I cannot find a solution for. The blue notification LED flashes even tho I have no notifications except for when screen is on. I have tried to go into settings>Display>LED Indicator to disable the led all together but it has no affect on it whatsoever. Annoying bug? Bad download? Operator Error?
Any Ideas?

It happens regardless of any app. I have cleared the cache, done many reboots, battery pull... I wont have any notifications in the notification bar, I don't have any unread messages or emails, The damn thing still flashes when the screen is off!
If you are stock and no root i would consider either a factory reset/wipe via stock recovery or grab og5 tar from Sam mobile or kies and odin flash to start over.
Nobody ydt tried to see if their animations or gif in stock weather backround is working? Mine hangs. I wiped. I reset a bunch of times. I just Odin too. Still. Lol. Anyone? Im about to flash the freeza stock.

I am having download issues with 5.1.1. When I try and download any file from Chrome it says Downloading but disappears in the notification bar and never downloads...? I rooted and had the same issue. I returned back to stock tar with same issue. Hard Reset with the same issue. Now my Chrome Bookmarks are not syncing at all? I have unknown sources checked if that helps? I can't download any file at all?
can you guys please check which bootloader versions you're using?
wrong bootloader is known to cause these kinds of problems, granted a kitkat bootloader would be much worse than a 5.0.1 with 5.1.1 firmware
edit: also, check your baseband
Been out of the loop for a while, but how do you check the bootloader version?

Galaxy Tools will tell you.
Settings/About phone/Build isn't reliable unless you're flashing full stock like KIES, OTA or Odin full stock tar. Flashing a custom ROM changes the build.prop and it may or may not indicate proper build.

That seems to indicate you updated to OG5. To go back you would have had to Odin flash the modem only update for OG5. Then flash the custom ROM. tx_dbs_tx also released a tar ball for Odin for those wanting to keep the OB7 bootloader but it would be too late if you already updated to OG5 OTA or OG5 full tar in KIES or Odin.
No way to go back from that I know of.

Update for Verizon

I just got prompted for 12a (VS98612A). My update was unsuccessful because I'm rooted.
Apparently there are many updates (over 450 MB).
Here is the only link I could find.
http://phandroid.com/2015/10/09/tou...g-out-a-huge-system-update-that-could-fix-it/
I got the update and seems to have wrecked Google Hangout notifications. Was getting them just fine until after the update.
1) checked notifications were turned on .. they were.
2) messages are coming in only after I check.
3) uninstalled and reinstalled hangouts - no change.
4) wiped cache and reset defaults.
Did it help touch screen issues (if you were having them)?
I'm curious about touch screen issues as well. I did not realize how much it bothered me till I used a samsung phone the other day and not a single miss. It was bliss!

Do we have confirmed fixes for the touchscreen? Or is it just placebo effect right now. I'd love to hear some honest feedback. I'm currently rooted and running xposed but if reverting to stock and taking 12a fixes touchscreen issues it would be worth it for me [as long as root for 12a will be possible ]

For me it's definitely not placebo. Knock on is working great. No problems scrolling now. I got used to it before but now it seems like a new phone. I was getting jealous of my wife's s5 but not any more.

Looks like just the Google acct isn't syncing, still getting notifications via Facebook. A lot of accounts disappeared in the settings -> accounts menu (Facebook , Microsoft)
Sent from my VS986 using Tapatalk
So after a few hours on this update I can tell you that I didn't notice ANY touchscreen misses at all. Also less lag with opening and transferring of big apps. Even tapping the google search bar worked immediately without extra taps or lag. So as much as I like root, it's crazy to figure out what an actual working phone feels like again. Maybe someone will root 12a. Hopefully.
Edit: and no missing account anything on my particular device either.
So if we rooted 11A, do we have to kdz to get the update?

Not yet. That is my next step. Have to wait until Monday because I'm running GOOD Work and will need a new pin after the wipe. I also removed and re-signed in to my Google account. Right now notifications with Hangouts are hit or miss. Sometimes I get them, sometimes I don't, sometimes it takes 5-10 minutes.
As for the touch screen issues. I have noticed a major improvement. Can scroll through FB without clicking a picture or a link unexpectedly. Also, better hits when I'm typing a character using the edge of the screen, letters, numbers, and hitting the send button. Registers every time now. Also, noticed that when connected to bluetooth in the car, the radio displays song information again.
So there are definitely a few improvements I've noticed.

Also, noticed that when connected to bluetooth in the car, the radio displays song information again.
So there are definitely a few improvements I've noticed.

Camera was also updated. There is an actual "slo-mo" button now. It seems like an update with some meat to it.

You could try the super user unroot option and update, probably have to wait for a confirmation to root this version.

Can someone pull the camera apk and upload it, maybe us on 11a can utilize the update.

I got the update and seems to have wrecked Google Hangout notifications. Was getting them just fine until after the update.
1) checked notifications were turned on .. they were.
2) messages are coming in only after I check.
3) uninstalled and reinstalled hangouts - no change.
4) wiped cache and reset defaults.

This update seems to have wrecked all my notifications actually..Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.
Seems like its only Google applications..
I can definitely say the phone is much smoother than it was before. No more missed letters while typing, and mistaps whole scrolling. Sucks it took so long to get this update, but the phone is working like it should have from day 1.

Did you remove your Google account and set it back up again?
I noticed after the update I wasn't getting notifications when an email arrived. Disconnecting and reconnecting my Google account fixed that.
Otherwise I feel your pain. Hangouts notifications are still hit or miss.
