Strange statusbar - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

Sometimes the time in my status bar goes haywire. I managed to capture a screenshot. Anyone else seen this? It's not a big deal, I'm just curious what would cause it. I'm running stock (touchwiz) 4.3 and rooted.

That strange but I read of 4.3 havin lot's of issues. I had a random soft reboot lately and have been having some weird audio dipping in and out. Also my FPS are laggy on certain games lol.
If you're just rooted w/o any heavy root apps (greenify) (xposed) then I don't know what to tell you aside unfortuantely. I would say flash back to stock but I read that with knox that might not be possible.
sorry for the lack of a solution but hopefully this helps wrap your head around the issue.

Swipe to call or text

So...does anyone else get this problem?
It is intermittent but very annoying when it happens. When I go to a contact and swipe there name to call them the phone will not call.. it freezes up and then 20 seconds or so later will call.
Anyone else get this?

you got too much stuff running in the background
it does it immediately for me
Thats not it. It does it with nothing running in the background. I've checked that before. I've killed everything then tried and still did it

I had that on complete stock kl1. I used tl swipe over and pver again and then like 20 seconds later it used register all the swipes at once and call like 5 times. Really annoying. I flashed stock deodexed and the problem hasn't happened since.

same here.. happens ALL the time for me.. was thinking about taking my phone in for it.
That's why I posted this.. if this is not a common problem and only a few people are experiencing it.. I'm gonna have my phone replaced

Don't think replacing the phone will solve it.
Try stock Deoxed or any one of the custom ROMS. I've been running smooth as butter with Vultures 4.1 + Synergy Kernel and getting better batt. life than stock.
Hope that helps.

Why wouldnt replacing the phone solve it? That doesnt make sense.. i never had that problem before rooting and hella-flashing.. it has to be an issue with the phone. (For the record, that doesnt mean i dont recommend flashing a custom rom and kernal!! )

My phone is completely stock (not even rooted) and it occasionally does the same thing you describe. I just reboot when it does it and it seems to stop.

Because sometimes odex files will mess up things if it was your phone. You would have problems swiping left to right for screens. Meaning the digitizer was damage. Just flash a Rom and the problem will go away.

I am on stock rom. It happened to me randomly.

Flipboard performance problems

Has anyone else noticed that the framerate when "flipping" in Flipboard degrades occasionally?
This started happening to me recently and I'm really at a loss as to what could be causing it. It normally goes like this: After rebooting, the performance is fine (i.e. looks like its running at ~60fps). After closing the app / switching to another app and then returning to Flipboard, all animations become really choppy (looks like they're running at ~20fps).
The really frustrating part is that it never used to be a problem. I've tried uninstalling, clearing data, the old version, the new version, etc, etc. Nothing is fixing it. I'm trying to narrow down if something else that I installed is causing the slowdown, but so far nothing is making sense. Also, nothing else on my phone is experiencing any performance problems.
Anyone else have the same issue?
This happened to me when I first got my GS3 a month ago. Idk why but maybe there has been performance updates for the app - because Flipboard is buttery smooth now.

Are you running stock rom or custom or possibly aosp/aokp? Im on a stock rom and haven't had any issues with flipboard at all and use it nearly everyday

Count me in for no issues, on kyanROM with newest ktoonsez.

I can't prove it yet, but I have a theory that the problems may actually be caused by the Lightflow app.
Curious to know if there are any Flipboard + Lightflow users out there...

FC TouchWiz with folders?

Hey all,
I get FCs when I exit from an app that has left a folder open. I want to stay on Touchwiz cuz I like the widgets but this is becoming frustrating.
Anyone else experiencing this? I have latest fw but it did this with original stock too...
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
it happens to me also, but not every time. if i quit an application by tapping multiple time and quickly on the back key the TW will crash
Yeah it would be better if the folder closed before opening an app. I wonder how often Sammy update TW with fixes. I might move to another launcher cuz I can't have a blemish on this baby

Got the same issue mate.

Same issue here, already tried to reduce Animation Duration Scale to 0.5. Will try to disable and see if it solves that crash.
I'd like to auto close folders either... This bug is getting really annoying.

Screen Sensitivity

Has anyone else noticed that the screen seems to lose/gain sensitivity? For example, when I'm scrolling through my contacts it will randomly select one of the contacts. Or it will all of a sudden scroll really fast down the list. This is my third one, and they have all done it. The selecting of random stuff while scrolling is very annoying. Happens in all apps.. Facebook, Tapatalk, Contacts, Browser...

Have you tried rooting and loading a custom Rom?

I rooted right away, but haven't flashed a custom Rom yet. I use my phone all day long for work, and it started getting to be too much always loading custom roms, not knowing what might bug out on you half way through the day. Don't get me wrong, I have been a flash addict for years lol but I'm trying to hold myself back for now.
But is this a known issue with stock? I would think it would have to be if it's fixed in custom Roms, wouldn't it? Because it would seem to be something that is intentionally fixed.

I honestly havent noticed this happening. Have you checked to make sure you dont have anything eating up your memory or processor? You said its happened on multiple phones, all GS3's i gathered, but its possible you may have an app that just isnt playing well with others....

Ditto.
I have the same issue and wonder if its related to OS version. I never saw that problem when on 4.1.2 but being on 4.2.2, the Instagram filter always had that problem.
Need to ask Devs about that.....
Confirmed (or at the least)
I have an S3 with OS 4.1.1 and there is no Glitch with Instagram.

When i had my S2 a day ago and it was onn4.2.2 i did not experience this problem.. just got on my coworkers s4 to see if he had the same problem on his stock phone andbhe does.. maybe its just the s4?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
I believe it's the size of the picture, mind you our S4 has a 13mp camera, takes 9mp by default which is still higher than the normal standard, try editing a smaller picture like one not taking from your s4 and see if the filters work correctly.
Edit: actually I'm not experiencing any glitch with any size picture.
Edit 2: ok I had it wrong its that one hdr type button that causes the picture to glitch, the normal filters work but not with that button enabled, an iG update will probably fix that.
