Phone freezes after call - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

So my dad's s3 i747 keeps freezing after making a call and staying on for 10 or more minutes..it doesn't matter if its speaker or not. Phone freezes and you are forced to pull battery and reboot to make it function. Tried changing sim, reset several times, turned proximity sensor off..am wondering if anyone else has this problem and possible solutions..would be much appreciated.

Is it completely stock? Rooted/rom'd?
And this belongs in the question and answer section. Mods will probably move it...

Try clearing the cache and data in the phone apk from the application manager. If that doesn't help, maybe factory data reset and see if that helps..

*** skyrocket ics port q&a ***

Please post your questions and answers regarding my port here....
UPDATE: 5/24/2012
Won't be doing any work on this for a while. Phone got run over and can't afford a new one right now. Using my SGS4G as a backup until I can get a good price on an s2 or possibly a new S3.
UPDATE 4/5/2012
Good News is I got my phone back from JTAG repair... BAD NEWS is they messed up my usb port. Phone boots and all but I have no way to charge it.. When I plug it in it flashes a warning saying Battery is too hot or too cold, charging has been canceled. Was able to get in download mode and did a wipe to see if maybe it was a firmware issue but it did not help. Went back to download mode to see if I could flash a new boot.img and get this error:
Claiming interface... Failed. Attempting to detach driver...
Claiming interface again... Success
Setting up interface... Success
Beginning session...
Failed to initialise usb communication!
Re-attaching kernel driver...
Now my battery is completely dead so I can't try anything until I can get an external charger if they make one... will update as I can
UPDATE 3-28-12 5:24 p.m. est
For those of you who keep sending me PM's asking to test...
Go to the thread in the Development forum and download it. The Thread was closed but links are still active.
UPDATE #2 3-28-12
I won't be able to work on this for a few days.
Bricked my phone working on a different kernel and modem.
Will send it out for jtag repair and have it back sometime next week hopefully...
Guess I will jump back to the sgs4g forum and work there for a few days.. Have that phone with unbrickable mod...
If anyone knows if unbrickable mod is available for this phone let me know.
I Have no problem tearing it apart and performing the mod.
Update 4/1/12 Turning down in call volume will cut down on in call echo.
Thanks
I would like to apologize in advance for not asking my QA inside of the QA section.
On a side note i was having data issues and I flashed cache and reenterd my APN settings manually and it fixed it
good to hear

You need to flash the superuser zip again in CWM. So long as the thread didn't get deleted in Development, look at the 3rd post, you should find a link there.

I actually had the same question too but no one answered..I ended up restoring my NAND backup of a 2.3.6 ROM, manually forcing it to go to WCDMA only, then re-flashing ICS, which effectively saved the settings. For some reason lol
is there a crt off option anywhere? it's the only thing missing (besides the autorotate, everything else works for me).
Is there a way to get the keyboard to go landscape without auto rotate?

any one has a problem with gallary not working when trying to add picture to a contact in contacts?
can we get the ics threads stickied, just so they stay on the front page to avoid a barrage of 'where do i download ics?' threads? since the threads can't be bumped by posts anymore.

Phone not ringing

My phone is not ringing on incoming calls. I'm currently running the PAKang 1.40 rom and have been for a long time and it just started doing this. I've never had this problem before but I'm missing lots of calls. Anyone have any ideas on how I could fix this. Thanks in advance.

I would say odin back to stock. I mean idk if this is a rom issue because I never had this with any touchwiz rom. Yeh bro try odin if u dont know what that means look it up. And I would be upset to if I missed calls so hopefully u can find the root of whats causing that issue
Also what I suggest is, if u want to stay with that rom then do factory reset wipe data/cache dalvic/and format system then reinstall rom.
Or you can just do a regular factory reset.
hope that helps

WiFi Problems?

Hey guys. So my phone is having problems with WiFi not turning on, it will turn on sometimes but just stays at the Gray slider saying WiFi is turning on. I'm not a noob with android . But is this a hardware problem? I was on stock ICS rooted and tried cm10.1. I didn't try Odin yet tho. Thanks.

Doesn't sound like a hardware issue. First thing I would try is wiping data, cache and system in recovery and re flashing your rom. If that doesn't work, I would definitely try Odin.
Yeah I tried all of that. I hope its not a hardware issue because it turns on sometimes. I'm going to try Odin soon

Going from ICS to JB can do funny things when doing it through recovery. Not all partitions are overwritten using recovery, so you still have some ICS stuff there. It's always best to use Odin when going back and forth between different bases, if possible.

[Q] system status :custom

I put original firmware back on my phone and used Triangle Away. My count was reset to zero and it says original Samsung. Phone works great again after rough few weeks. However it still says "System Status:Custom" Is there a way now to change this back to normal in case I need warranty service? Thank you.

Factory reset after using Odin should take care of it.

It doesn't matter. But if your phone is already on you should just do out through settings. You haven't rooted again right.
Here's the thread where I got it from and personally tried myself. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136921

Go into phone official recovery by power, home, and lower volume key together and wipe cache (and data too I think). It will clean out custom recovery footprint. (Hint: you have to be unrooted to go in official recovery). Hope that helps.

I have the same issues that you... since install the v10 and my S3 is also slow .. I like the version v10 .. but i had to return to v9.1
Haven't tried any version other than 10, but will give it a shot. Now that I think about it my s3 is kinda slow. Thanks for the idea!

Have you read thru the rom thread? If its a rom issue others surely will have reported it.
Otherwise it may have more to do with the flashing method you may have used than with the rom itself.

Just love how ignorant supposed techies point blame instead or correcting the issue. Dont be ignorant.
I wasnt aware of an existing post on this or I wouldnt have asked for help.
I did ask for help and not complaints.
Other than that this is by far not my first time loading roms, I think after the 20th or 30th time I would say I know what im doing. So again save your ignorance for yourself.

Md5 check the download . Try again with a full wipe? I. I'm v10 and have no issues. Usually a clean install will resolve most problems. Good luck.

Only a few problems here!
I've been using Wicked since ICS days with very few problems. Had an issue with Bluetooth that was resolved by wiping and reflashing the ROM back on ICS.
Since switching to Jelly Bean, about the only issue I've had is S Beam and/or Wi-Fi Direct connection/file sharing. In the two cases I've had, a dirty flash has fixed the problem.
Other than that, the ROM has been great for me!
Good Luck!

LMT Stopped working
I have been using Wicked Rom v_9.1 for about three months with NO problems. All of a sudden LMT service stopped working. The pops up. Unfortunately LMT has stopped working. So I see that V10 is out so I Flasj V10 the proper way thinking that would take care of the problem. NOPE same thing happened. Any ideals?

How in GOD'S name do I do that? I was under the impression that when I flashed a new rom that would have cleared out everything.
Its an option during flash. Or boot recovery and factory reset.

Are you restoring data or any backups?
Have you searched in or asked in the rom thread to see if its a common or known issue?
I think someone else had a similar problem. (Isnt lmt related to some app called pie?) If so uninstall and reinstall the app.
Otherwise, try clearing data for lmt and force stop. Then reboot and see if it still acts up.

I'm personally glad you started this thread. Because of my low post count, I can't post in that forum.
I've only been using this rom for a couple days and I love it. The only problem I've had was that I can't seem to get the Awsome Beats to do anything. Changing the settings doesn't seem to make any noticeable difference in sound quality. I know it's not a big deal but I think it would be a cool thing to have since I use my phone to listen to music almost as much as I use it to communicate.
I'll admit that I didn't read through the 1000+ pages but I did do a search of the thread and didn't come up with anything.
Oh, I'm using the stock Samsung music player, Songbird and Pandora to listen to music.
Stock kernal as well.
