I just got my s3 not long ago and I flashed a couple roms. Decided to go back to a tw stock ROM so I flashed blazer's ROM. And all of the sudden I've been getting really bad lag issues. For example when I would swipe to change home screen pages I would be presented with a major lag spike. Also sometimes when I would lock my phone (turn off with the on and off switch not the android lock pattern) and I would turn the phone back on it would just just stay frozen at where I last left it off on. And I have no way of doing anything so I have to pull the battery. So I thought it would be a bad ROM flash. So I reflashed and problem kept occurring. So I decided to flash another ROM (freegs3 with stock kernel) and problems are still occurring. Can anyone give me some advice?

Are you running any tweaks? Are you undervolting? Were you dirty flashing? Did you clean wipe? Did you try wiping cache and dalvik and rebooting?

i always do clean flashes. im not running any tweaks besides the ones that are built into the rom. i never undervolted.
i do a factory reset, then wipe dalvik and cache. then do a system format to remove the rom entirely.

Hey guys,
so i was on a plane yestarday and obviously they want you to turn your phone off. I did so and when i landed i tried turning it back on but only to my surprise it would. Was just stuck at the White HTC screen and just kept resetting and doing the same.
Luckily I was able to get into the bootloader and reflash the rom and backup, however, its a pain in the butt to have to do so every time my phone shuts off or I have to shut it off.
Havent tried another custom rom yet, will do so shortly, but just wondering why this is happening? Any advice?
What rom were you on? And make sure to install with a clean install.
i was using calkulins evio rom.
and yes, i did a full factory wipe with cache and dalvik as well....is there all required for a clean install?

You pretty much want to wipe everything but the sd card. So cache, data, dalvik, boot, and system. Then flash your rom and boot it up.

I have this same problem with calks rom. Maybe try a different kernel?

Fyi, if you used cwm to do the wipe, this is probably where you failed. Cwm fails to wipe dalvik most times. I have had weird issues on sense roms specially when using cwm. I changed to ra and no wipe problems since.
How do I know this? After so called full wipes using cwm and installing evio most or all of my apps and settings would still be there.
I have confirmed this with many others that have used both recoveries. Ra is nicer anyway.
Real men don't need rom manager anyway.

I just don't understand why koush dosen't fix this and be done with it. I love that program... I use titanium backups dalvik cleaner anywho just saying that all
I'm having this sort of issue as well. I have wiped many times, gone back to stock, unrooted, even updated the hboot version. Has anyone figured out what exactly may cause this sort of boot loop? Sometimes, my phone just randomly reboots (even on stock default) and gets stuck in a boot loop.
Keeping the battery out for about 5 minutes allows it to boot back up, but I'm getting rather frustrated with it. I can't seem to pinpoint an exact issue. sometimes, it seems my battery is rather warm to the touch, sometimes, it's nice and cool. I've tried sense roms, non-sense, GB, and as I said earlier, stock RUU. Nothing I've done stops the reboots. I took it to the sprint store, and they saw nothing wrong with it. (Of course, it didn't reboot for them. Figures, eh?) I even got 2 alternate batteries. (One was the super big extended life)
Has anyone else had this same issue? I'm at a loss of where to go from here. I've poured over these forums, and the development forums for days. I never had this issue before...it's only started happening in the last week and a half. Keep thinking I must have missed something, but I'm not sure what.
So i recently went to AOKP. All was fine for a few days but then i started getting random reboots. In fact, it wouldn't let me even shut the device down. I would pull the battery, put it back in like 30 minutes later, and it would immediately boot back up. I didn't even hit the power button! I odined back to FF18 stock and it still does random reboots and wont shut down. When i hit the power button, the screen does not go to sleep. I even went as far as going back to EL29 and still no luck. Any thoughts?
When you went back to FF18, did you factory reset+ caulkin's format all? What are the steps you took to flash those roms? Is the rom bare stock when the problems occur or is it after you add your own apps?

Is this the stock battery? If not put it back in, I had some issues with an aftermarket battery and switching back to stock fixed the issues.

I always wipe everything when flashing new ROMs. With the exception of AOKP where you are not supposed to wipe system. I think this was just a fluke. After several hours of battery pulling, flashing ROMs and charging and discharging, all seems to be well. It may have been an issue with my battery but idk. It has been running stable for a couple of hours now. Thank you for your responses

Who told you are not supposed to wipe the system? You're not supposed to use the Factory Reset options while on ICS since they use unsafe recoveries. When using recoveries like TWRP and agat's, they have been labled as safe. That is what mostly like your problem. Your safest route would be to EL26 Kernal, factory reset+wipe cache and dalvik cache, caulkin's format all+ rom then gapps.
Im running clean rom 3.5, has anyone ever had the phone reboot while not in use? Mine will reboot and get stuck at the Galaxy Note II boot up banner, and if it does it overnight (like it did the other night) my phone reached 110 degrees. I re-flashed and problem was not solved.
What happens if you reflash the stock ROM, does it occur then? I've never had this issue with my Note II.

I havent tried that, i really rather stay on clean rom and fix the issue though. :silly: I assume for testing purposes I can put it through a stock rom and see..
Stock Rom Does the same

Hey fellow gnex community! I recently left stock rom due to freezes and random reboots. I've tried out various rom and kernel combinations this week such as xylon/AK, Purity/AK, AOKP/franco/lean, CM10.1/trinity/franco, Rasbean/trinity, PA/lean/franco/trinity/AK and Xenon.
The problem is they all freeze and reboot constantly after 2 minutes of use. I never changed the kernel settings and this is only happening on 4.2.1 roms. My favorite rom/kernel combo would be purity/AK, Xylon/AK but they freeze, wifi disconnects and never connects back and reboots constantly.
So the question is why is this happening to my phone recently and are there specific kernel settings that will stabilize the roms or is it just my phone?
Any help would be great,
thanks.
I haven't had that problem before, and I have flashed several roms (though not a custom kernel in a while)
Faulty hardware perhaps?

but this never happened on 4.1, 4.0.4 etc. That's what's worrying me.
4.2.1 isn't exactly highly regarded for its stability....
I reccomend going back to a good 4.1.2 rom. You aret missing anything anyway

I would do a full wipe and fastboot flash the stock images from Google to see if this helps. Mind you, your internal memory will be wiped so back up all of your photos etc..

but I heard people change the kernel settings and the phone will become smoother/stable? I really love some of the features from 4.2.1 that's the reason I'm a bit hesitant to go back to 4.1.2
Try a full wipe, and fast boot a stock image on and proceed from there.

I've done that twice already and usually wipe after it freezes but then still happens
Are you sure you know how to flash? Not trying to offend but it saves a lot of time if your a noob.
I currently wipe dalvik cache 3x, cache 3x, and factory reset 3x in twrp. I read somewhere its safer to wipe like this or use super wipe scripts or w.e
I am running the latest rasbeanjelly with latest rasbean gapps and latest lean kernel. I haven't had any resets and haven't tweak anything. May I also add that when I do get errors with roms normally when I flash extra mods I always go back to recovery and hit fix permissions. Idk why but it does solve some issues.
Good luck

lol. Ya I've been flashing roms for like a year and it's only recently these issues are popping up. I do pretty much what everyone does - wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash rom, flash gapps and flash kernel. I never use mods so nothing to worry about there.
Try flashing rom and gapps only without a custom kernel.
If you've fully formatted your drive, have updated recovery, and are positive you have good downloads then your problem is most likely hardware related
Try the kernel cleaner script before flashing/changing between kernels.
It's a cwm flashable .zip.
Alright will do as suggested
How about fastboot flashing the stock rom's .img-es? (Galaxy Nexus ToolKit is the easiest way to do it)

Alright so it seems like the rom HumberOS with built in kernel did the job. Been using the phone for about 4 hours non stop and no freezes or reboots so far. Finally something stable for my phone! Thanks for the help everyone!
update: After a day without any hiccups on the humber os rom, my phone finally froze and rebooted. Since I was using cwm, I decided to see if twrp would solve the problem. I restored my phone to stock and started from scratch by installing twrp. Then I decided to give PA a try and to my surprise no reboots or freezes at all but will have to wait a day to confirm.

You did restore the factory images by running the update script included in the package right? This will make sure all data is up to date.. Fastboot erase all partitions first as well..

yup did all that and everything seems to be going fine so far
So... what would be causing the problem you think?
You installed TWRP and PA both at the same as I can read in the previous posts?
So that way we will never know if it's a recovery problem, or ROM problem...
Well, as long as your device doesn't freeze and/or reboot we should be happy I guess.
Ok I had purchased the ZL battery and have been using it since day 1, however today i got home around 11:25pm. i had put my phone on charge @ 3PM. I just finished my 3rd cycle for the battery so i'd figure its done charging as it indicated it was, and turn it on and now all of sudden constant bootloop out of nowhere.
What could have caused this? it was working just fine before i didn't change anything at all.
I'm Running Stock TW w/Saber Kernel. I had purchased the ZL battery a week ago and ever since no problems, nor did i flash anything at all. I've been on TW way before i even thought of buying the battery.
So what could have caused this to undergo a bootloop session.
I went into recovery and wiped dalvik and cache and still is doing a bootloop. Should i do a factory reset however i have no backup because i have been fine since and I've been on Stock TW figure this wouldn't happen.
This used to happen on my epic if I ever left the battery out too long. I always just reflashed either the rom or the kernel. Worst case scenario you just nandroid and restore data.

Try going into Advanced then format system, data, cache, and dalvik cache.
Then swipe to confirm and repeat this 2 more times for a total of 3 Advanced wipes
If that still doesn't help then follow the same procedure but after performing an Advanced wipe 3x go into Format Data to format your internal storage.

Seems like you already did a full stock restore. I had the same symptoms, different rom tho. Reflashing the rom without wiping allowed me to boot up normally and with all of my data is intact. FYI for next time.
