HELP!!! Samsung galaxy s3 freezing makes device unusable - Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help &

Since the new Galaxy S4 has been announced, the S Health feature looked very nice! I went to a XDA forum where they ported the S Health apk to the Galaxy s3. I downloaded the apk and placed it in /system/app/ . I then restarted my phone and when it started up, I see the lockscreen and i have about 5 seconds and then the device freezes. I cannot do anything! I have to hold in the power button or take out my battery for the phone to restart again (only to freeze again once it starts up, making the phone unusable). I have a big feeling that it has something to do with the S Health apk. PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME!!! Thanks in advance

Since its a system app you can reflash your ROM without wipe to remove that system app.

Maybe it's due to the SDS fix. It is said that, instead of damaging the device, the fix occasionate freezes. Check for the SDS freeze post in the forum and U'll get more info. The S Health is definitely not the cause of those problems.

Anyone here encountered this problem? I did stock ICS from stock GB with no wipe, just kies from pc. Should I do factory restore and reinstall all the application?

Hey dude don't do anything...
First clear cache partition in recovery mode...
Than turn on phone...
Download app cache cleaner from market...
Check if there any app using cache than clear all again... Again turn off your phone....
Check for ram.... If phone is using 400-500MB ram than you can play high quality games
Just start playing Now it won't hang....
Than again when you want to play game just check your phone ram if it's 600-700MB used than try to clear it... If it not go to 440 or low... Than reboot phone once ... now you can play the game again p
Sorry for bad English... I hope you understood what I said

Same thing happenning here, ICS LPY installed a few days ago
Game starts but after a couple of minutes hangs, phone gets very hot too.
I'm starting to think about going back to GB, and keep waiting for a new official ICS ROM.
Same issue here. App freezes after a couple of seconds of racing. Can't download it again without paying because I got it for free from Samsung app store.

Samsung Stock Taskmanager

Hi everyone,
Does anyone know where I can get Samsungs stock taskmanager for CM 7.2 or at least one that works like it. I tried so many different taskmanager apps from the Play store but they all aren't good.

Firstly, Android 2.3+ doesnt need a task manager. However if it makes you feel happy I can find the Samsung one for you. People report it ruins your phone over time or something

Gingerbread has one that does it automatically. In app if you press home it runs in background and back kills it. Something like that. Google search task manager on Gingerbread.

Actually its a priority system, where apps u dont use for long get removed from memory automatically. The phone doesn't get damaged if u use a task manager, its just that ur phone will use more battery as it has to process that app all over again and ur loading time is ofc increased. But on mid - high end phones u don't need a task manager due to enormous amount of ram and fast processor. I do feel the need for a task manager cause i don't use my phone too much and background apps will drain my battery unnecessarily.
Edit: Here is a task manager. Just copy it to ur system/apps folder using a root browser and set permissions as all the apps present.
AW: Samsung Stock Taskmanager
Thx bro
I put your apk to /system/app and changed permissions to rw r r and now it works! First i tried this with wee0's apk but nothing happened But also thx to you!

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Tab Store Demo (videoviewdemo) removal

Greetings:
Last Christmas, I had purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tablet (GT-P1000R) for my mother. Apparently, I had purchased the store demo one, as opposed to a regular one.
Now, after a couple of minutes, it always goes to a store demo video, which drains the battery power and is overall quite annoying. I have isolated the application in question as "VIDEOVIEWDEMO"
I have tried the usual, such as going to - SETTINGS - APPLICATIONS - MANAGE APPLICATIONS - and selected VideoViewDemo. Unistall is not an option in this case. There is a ForceStop but it just restarts anyway, so it is useless to force stop.
I then went ahead and did a factory reset, but surprise, nothing changed.
I read threads of people having similar issues, with one suggesting to download APK Manager and then uninstall it that way. Again, no luck as it did not register as an app running on APK Manager.
Is there anyway to fix this issue? My mom is leaving tomorrow so I need to try to get this resolved within 24 hours.
Any help would be appreciated.
You need to root your tab, and you then can uninstall it using Titanium Backup.
Why do you wait 3 months to ask, and give yourself 24hr to do that?

My Note 3 random reboots

It started yesterday. The biggest changes I can think of are
1. adding Gear Manager and connecting Gear 2 Neo to it which happened one week ago. No issues till now
2. putting in and taking out a microSD card. Shortly after this action, the random reboots started. I don't think I messed up the related hardware. I did it carefully, not forcing anything. I even shut down the device and popping the battery before inserting and removing the microSD.
I'm scratching my head what could have triggered the random reboots. I have shut down Bluetooth to trouble-shoot what is causing the random reboots. Any insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks
What firmware are you on? Are you rooted? Have you tried another sd card? Maybe try a factory reset

It is possible that the power button is failing.

I believe it is in gravity box. But it is possible that wanam has that feature as well.

My Note 3 isn't rooted. It's running stock KitKat. It doesn't have a microSD. I put one in to copy files and took it out right away. I don't know if it was a coincident. The reboots started shortly after I put in and took out the microSD. I think it's more a coincident because I was super careful with the microSD slot.
I just did a reset. I'll observe if reboots happen again.
I know it sounds crazy but try going into Settings>Wifi>Advanced and unchecking "Always Allow Scanning". Once I used a SD in it and have that checked my phone randomly reboots no matter what ROM or MODs I use and I have met other people on here that have had the same issue and unchecking that setting fixed it. Something about the way some SD cards work and that setting not playing nice with each other. Hope this helps you, I know it nearly drove me mad until someone suggested I try unchecking it.
I did a reset and restored my all apps backed up by Helium. I got random reboots still. But may be because I also restored Gear Manager and its associated plugins and apps, I was still getting random reboots. I have reset again and restored all my apps without the Gear Manager etc. So far it's been 20 hours, no random reboots. I'll observe some more. I just have the feeling Gear Manager etc have something to do with the reboots.
@zacharyt86: I'll remember your tip too. Thanks
My N3 used to do that a lot so i rooted the phone and now i have no issues. I did have issues with some roms and when i was using a rom slot on ss but no issues on the stock slot.
Im on JB though but my note had the same issue. I think its a memory issue... I was also using a cache cleaner then that i just havent used since i changed roms
Ya think it just could be one if those weird things I see others having issues that I'm not having if it keeps doing it I would call Samsung or take it back to att

Root alone does nothing. All it does is allow administrative access to everything.

Google or the search function will answer your question.
Highjacking a thread will not.

It's been 60+ hours. No reboots. I'm inclining to conclude it's Gear Manager and its associated plugins and apps that caused the reboots. I'll install Gear Manager again, not install any Gear app, just connect phone calling and default notifications, i.e.all default stuff. Will report back.
