What apps have you had problems with?

[delo999]

I noticed this thread on another forum, maybe we can start one here for the S3

All I know is as soon as I loaded and started Ringtone Maker Pro, everything went haywire, had to uninstall it in safe mode (thank goodness I found out I could do that) and then do a hard reset. The "haywire" behavior was an unresponsive lockscreen, and constant rebooting every 2 minutes.

Looks ok now!

Chrome messes up when Googling stuff, it's also force closed on me multiple times.

I've noticed SwiftKey lags out sometimes (my Droid X did crap like this all the time).

EDIT: Add Messenger to the list.

Zynga Poker is another bad app. I've tried to run it a couple of times and it freezes for about 10 seconds, closes, then gives a force close error message. I didn't have that issue with the s2 or the iphone.

UnlockAtHome still having (known) problems when you click a notification when on trusted wifi.. It brings up the lockscreen, but you just have to press power twice instead of unlocking. annoying..

Slideme market app, even after FC it continued running as well as downloading something other that an update (I keep auto update off on all of my apps), since removing this app, my phones performance improved GREATLY.

Not sure brother. I flashed Synergy than restored a backup and that stuff got nutty.

I Odin'd back to stock and everything seems fine now.

I found Zedge to be a problem on my s3. After i shut the app down my screen would flicker for about 3 seconds. So i uninstalled it and just didnt bother dl it again. That was on my first s3,which had software problems. I have now got it on my 2nd s3 and works fine

Lightflow has to be at the top of my list

My wife and I both downloaded zedge. We both uninstalled due to issues with the phones after using it.. "random reboots, screen freezes" i have also found discover card apl to cause similar problems

ZEDGE! When leaving an app (any app) it would slow my phone and the wallpaper would reappear half a screen at a time. No problems once I uninstalled the ZEDGE app.

SwiftKey and chrome do not work well together. If you try to edit a search query entered by voice your phone will freeze.

I have been using zedge and it is working just fine. I have been have not use chrome on my s3 but swift key works just fine. I had chrome and SwiftKey together on my Maxx and they played nice. I had problems with Tapatalk on my Iphone it would crash a lot i started using forum runner instead. Tapatalk works on my s3 just fine though. The thing that drives me nuts is the incompatibility of apps. I know it is difficult to stay on top of the ever changing android landscape but i hate when i purchase an app and when i upgrade my device and lose apps that I really like *cough * nba jam *cough*.

The Samsung london 2012 app. It randomly crashes and says "London 2012 has stopped working"... and I noticed I get the error RIGHT after I enable WiFi or 4g.

that could be the server getting hammered mate. the bbc sport website has had record amounts of new visitors streaming vids (im just guessing the app uses bbc content)
