Help issues with S3

[sanjayiitr]

Hi Everyone,

Have been using S3 since june... golauncher is my default launcher, 4 home screens, about 6 widgets, live wallpaper, 2 activesync account, 1 fb account, 1 google, and 3 additional accounts

brightness at about 60%, wifi/data permanently on, gps usually off


Issue 1: with all of these battery lasts merely about 12 hours!
Issue 2: Sometimes keyboard stops typing totally
Issue 3: Device heats sometimes usually with "certain" wifi connection
Issue 4: Using Zedge ringtone, sometimes upon incoming call screen lights up after a lag
Issue 5: Sometimes after tapping call icon in contact list, call gets placed after about 10 - 15 secs lag!!!


Any idea how I can correct these issues


Thanks,

Android fan

Try getting rid of go launcher, its very slow and clunky on an s3.

totally untrue in my case, I have been running go launcher since June, never had any of the problems the op is talking about. It is super smooth for me

1. Depending on how you use your phone, twelve hours can be ok especially with the screen brightness at 60 percent all the time. If you are syncing fb and other accounts that is normal imo.
2. That is odd. Have you tried a keyboard from the market? If it's a keyboard from the market it could be it has the problem.
3.Not sure about that one.
4. Sorry can't help with that one either
5. ??
Sounds like you may need to do a factory reset or maybe try a battery pull first. Leave the phone on pull battery, wait 30 secs then put battery back in. Not sure if it would help but the battery pull would be the first thing I tried.
