I haven't changed anything on my phone since my update 1 1/2 day ago, but my galleries (Picture and Video) are freezing like crazy and a few of my apps are running really slow. Anyone else having this problem? (I'm WiFi'ed to my home server and it's suddenly counting all the pics on the home pc 1 by 1) now that I think about it, the slowed apps are also cache dependent. I think I've had about 3 app updates since the system update, so it could be that one of those updates could have caused the problem too. Please check your galleries and let me know if anything is abnormal..

Thanx

Better description.... Thumbnails are taking forever to load in galleries. Even if I let the phone sit and load up all the thumbs, when I go into a folder I still have to wait again.... then again when I go back to the main gallery page. And movies that played perfectly fine before, are loading slow and some are crashing the phone.

Since the update I kept getting a "TouchWiz is Not Responding" error every time I would wake up my phone. The phone would go to a black screen and the phone would freeze for several seconds. I took out the battery and kept getting the same issue. So I just installed Nova Launcher. Just when I thought I had an android phone that wasn't giving me any issues.

UPDATE: I did a factory reset on the phone and knock on wood, it seems to have solved the problem. I'm back to being a happy camper.

No problem with mine either :) Also just ran 60 hours on one charge. Have played videos, Many calls, Weather Radar, Stocks, News, Email ...... all still works great! Sounds like something is monitoring or scanning your every move :confused:

Cheers & Good Luck :)

Are you talking about the Gallery App or are you using QuckPic for your gallery? I know you said "Galleries" but I just want to confirm you are talking about the Gallery App. QuickPic recently changed the default Hardware rendering setting to on. They found it to be quite slow on certain phones (the GS3 being one of them). So if you are using quickpic check the hardware acceleration setting (and turn it off). If you are using the gallery app, it does try and reach out to local servers to display galleries from them as well. When this is happening do you happen to be in an area where you have wifi enabled but wifi reception is bad? Is the remote machine that it is trying to pull gallery information from working hard at the moment when this occurred? Other than that I am not sure what to suggest...

No, talking about the stock Gallery app and stock Video app.... Now that I'm thinking about it, I did activate my all-share play this week, and used DLNA.... I guess I'll try disabling those to see if things change. But I'm still having some freezing after turning off wifi....Hmmm.

I'm having problems, too. My GPS is taking much longer to lock and my battery life is suddenly TERRIBLE. I've gone from getting hitting 40% after 18 hours to hitting 45% after 5 hours.

Something is very screwed up with the update.

I have not had a problem with this update and the gps but I have previously found that recalibration with the gps status & toolbox app can help.

My battery has gotten worse as well. I at least lost 2-3 hours with the same settings.

Update went through fine although I wasn't happy that it ran on its own. First time I've had no issues with an update. Battery is running the same as it was.

I know I don't use mine that much, but I am at 1 day 12 hours with 67% battery left. Not in Saver mode, 4G & GPS are on :)

Cheers, Jon
