Grand Duos acting up after 4.2.2 update + root - Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hi all,
This is my first post on this wonderful site that I've referred to more times than I would admit
Anyways, my Samsung Grand Duos I9082 has been acting up lately. A few games seem to just stop working after the. Official update to 4.2.2. But now it hangs way too much. For example, NFSMW Most wanted sometimes takes control of my phone, no buttons or touch responds. Even the lock button doesn't work and the Game simply carries on ( also, the car starts turning right each time and just continues. I can't do anything but hard restart my phone. This also happenes if I play the game and quit before letting it happen in-game ( if I'm lucky then 5 to 6 races, but it always happens).
Also, real boxing and virtual tennis challenge don't start saying I have to download data ( which is exactly where it's supposed to be, in the BOB. Folder in android).
Reinstalling real boxing hasn't been of any help.
Checked the dev option cuz I read somewhere that auto kill app should be off so I did that too.
Also, asphalt 8 has joined the ranks of the above 2 mentioned games, crashing at initial loading screen.
Need some answers if not solutions to this predicament that I seem to be in. I'll be chucking this set for a newer one ( confused ...ideas guys) ... but still would want to know if it's something I'd love to know so That I'll either sell or gift to my cousin
Cheers Guys! !!!

So what happened to your pictures going into landscape mode when you turn the phone? Has this been disabled?
Is it just my phone or is YouTube slow as all hell, if it even works at all.
Has anyone found a fix for S2U2 when it starts up in landscape, the screen is all messed up 90% of the time requiring me to close the phone to unlock it.
Has there been a Sony Panels cab made that works yet or has that idea gone away like the second coming of bell bottoms?

[Q] problem with apps update?

I installed couple of gameloft games and konami and sometimes when I start them games are trying to update them self. usually that's not the problem cause if I'm on wi fi and 1gb subscription and "they" go and most of time there is no update found and game starts but here is the problem...I looked in games settings but there is no option for updates cause it really irritates me when it goes to update......
but real problem is sometimes I'm on mountain or places where I don't have any signal and sometimes I want to play games but if and when after start update story appears I can't do anything but shut down game cause it is looking for update and it lasts and lasts when I let it search for some time. konami won't even start, only black screen untill I end it with back or home key.....wtf?!?!?
I installed droid wall and block everything but games still wants to update and goes in some kind of search update loop cause firewall blocked it I guess...I just don't get????
how can I control what goes to the net (droid wall enough?) and for god sake how can I destroy "trying to update" story?
please helps cause I just switched from htc blackstone and this sh%$#t is starting to kill the joy of new phone......

[Q] Modern Combat 3 issue

I have made it all the way to Level 11 "surgical Strike". Everytime I get to the part where ou have to go into the shed and use the rocket launcher to destroy to armored vehicles, soon as I go to pick up the weapon it does nothing. It will not let me pick it up. And one I do attempt to pick it up the game will not let me reload or change weapons. Soon as I run out of ammo the gun and arm are shaking like the dude is on some serious crack withdrawels. And I am unable to reload, zoom, all I can do is run around until I die. I have redownloaded the sdcard files several times, I have uninstalled the game and redownloaded it again same thing.
Does anyone have a save file they can upload where it saved to where you are just past that part of the mission? I am completely unable to get past this part of that level and I have no idea why. And its driving nuts as I really do enjoy the game both online and off.

This used to happen to me!! So annoyin had to try like 10 times.. blow up the 2 tanks and just carry on going forward then it should go away
I cannot even pick up the rocket launcher, soon as I try to pick it up, which it wont l;et me, the game goes bonkers and thats when the game starts to freak out.
I'd suggest moving it off the SD card.
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
I have it installed on my phones memory. And the additional download files will only fit on my sdcard. But again the aok is installed to the internel memory
Uh...... anyone have any ideas on this? Has anyone else experience this issue and found a way to resolve it?
I also have this problem in the same mission when you try to pick up the rocket launcher. What i found out is that this problem sometimes occurs if you are reloading or trying to change your weapon with another one when you are getting hit by an enemy. Just reload or change weapons when it is necessary.
And when you are in Level 11, well.. I hope Gameloft fixes this annoying bug because this game is great! I bought it at Gameloft´s WAP Shop. I only played campaign mode so far , so i don´t know if this problem exists in multiplayer mode.
so were you able to get past that part of mission 11? I have literally had this happen to me 15 times now an I cannot get past that. If you got past it and I am still not able to would you be willing to upload the save file for it?

OK, so when I got in the shed I fired my weapon until it auto reloaded and then it let me finally pick p the rocket launcher. Thank goodness that was attempt 16. Finally I can continue with the campaign. Thank you very much for the feedback UNCUT88RAW.
Not sure how to close this thread. Issue resolved thank you to UNCUT88RAW.

[HELP] GTA3 Problems

Hi guys.
First off, I love my SGN. It's the best phone I have ever had the pleasure to own and I don't regret signing a 2 year contract to have it.
I do have 1 problem though... I installed GTA3, I ran it and it downloaded all the extra data it needed. I played it for about 20 minutes and put it down to carry on working .
Later I decided to open it and play some more. The screen goes landscape and the status bar disappears. Then 2 or 3 seconds later the status bar comes back and I am back on the app drawer, still in landscape.
I have the same problem with Brothers in Arms 2.
Anybody had this problem and if so how did you fix it?
Any ideas what could be causing this?
Thanks XDA'ers!
Wrong section - you wont get an answer here. Post in Q&A.

usually happens when you dont exit games correctly through their menu systems. Go into all apps, find GTA3 and force close it.

[Q] Root, then Unroot: Sims Freeplay app not working.

This has been driving me mad for a week or so.
I've unrooted from SuperSU. I believe "ashyx" said that all I needed to do was click unroot. I mentioned that I still run into TWRP when I click the home, power, and up (or is it down?) button.
I don't care if I'm rooted or unrooted, I just want The Sims Freeplay app to work on my tablet.
Before rooting it worked. During rooting I didn't even think to check it. I hadn't had time to upload the game from my Galaxy Note 3 to my tab s so I didn't think there'd be a problem...but there is, or is it just some glitch from the game?
For anyone who had the tab s -- can you just download the The Sims Freeplay app and let me know if you're able to get into the game and move around the neighborhood?
This was a huge reason why I bought a tablet -- I play this game on a regular basis as I've been a Sims fan since since Sims 1.
The screen does not freeze when opening the game. It just flashes the splash screen and then brings me back to my app drawer on my tablet. When I go to the task menu, it's still open so I tap it and when I do, it comes up on the splash screen, then minimizes itself once again.
What I've read for the past couple of weeks is that EA is making it so gamers who cheated through the free play are going to end up getting their games destroyed. When I asked a fellow gamer why this could be happening, she replied that it's on a rooted device. No where in my mind did I think EA would be so anal (though I should have known -- stupid on my part, I know) that they would assume that anyone on a rooted device would be rooted to hack their game. I don't want to act it -- I rooted to get rid of bloatware on my tablet -- THAT IS ALL.
I'm not even sure how EA can tell that my tablet is rooted. I know some apps like movie/tv apps can sense it, but a free gaming app with the option to purchase items? "Plants Vs. Zombies" I play as well and that works just fine on my tablet when it was not rooted and when it was rooted.
I also read that "Tap Out" that Simpson's game by EA gave someone problems on their ipad until they used a way to change the resolution. They were on a jailbreak device from what I could understand.
I'm just severely annoyed by all of this, but this is all that I know and I would love any kind of help in the right direction on this matter. Please help me with a way to fix this if it isn't a glitch from EA -- I am about ready to pull my hair out over this.
