    Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 freezes every hour or so.

    I think fstrim also fixed it for me, it was the last thing I had done and no freezing / lock ups since! Hurrah!

    Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 freezes every hour or so.

    I've followed the steps in the XDA thread (inc. backing up my EFS) - I'll let you all know how this goes and if it has resolved it for me, though I had 0 bad blocks... EDIT: just ran the VEllamo benchmark to see if that would lock it up... it has. Back to the drawing board / Vodafone.

    Bugger. My phone has now froze a few times on 4.1.2 XELLA, I got one after a few hours use and then a few yesterday at inconvenient times, on 4.1.2 XELL5 it seemed fine for the half day or so I was running it and I had no lock ups. To me it would seem that going to XELLA, writes data to the EFS...

    Guess a mod didn't like the links to the firmware files? If anyone wants alternate links, to most of the released firmware files, Vodafone or BTU, just message me. EDIT: Never mind, it's now been approved - see above :) Anywhoo, on 4.0.4 now and not had a single lock up since flashing it this...

    Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 freezes every hour or so.

    This morning I flashed back to BUBLG3 / 4.0.4 which is the original firmware and it has been absolutely fine. I've tried replicating the lock ups and can't, I've installed apps from the Play store and Amazon App store, updated bloatware apps and used the phone like I have when it's locked up...

    Doh! How'd I miss that? :-X WPS meaning Wifi Power Save, just turned that off now and started having a play with the phone and it's locked up again. Oddly enough since flashing XELL5 I've had a few lock ups, but not nearly as often as with XELLA, which were on every reboot or just about every...

    David, what were the wifi tweaks you made? This is driving me nuts, I can't even access the Play store to download any apps, so my phone is stock with no apps to use, no contacts sync'd with my Google account (I always said using the 'cloud' to store valuable info would someday be the end of me...

    Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 freezes every hour or so.

    Hi all! Unfortunately mine has started doing this too. I've pretty much eliminated the apps being an issue by not having any installed on stock XELLA. I've unrooted, flashed stock rom & factory reset, wiped the cache and factory reset from recovery. It was happening pretty much "randomly", or...
