So, I'll try to make this as short as possible:
A month or two ago, my S3(4.1.2, rooted) started freezing and randomly reebooting. I did my research, and found out that my phone was suffering from SDS. This was supported by eMMC BrickBug Checker, which said I had an insane chip. So I decided to try a different ROM. That didn't fix the freezes, and I googled some more about SDS. I then figured out that if I'd let the phone unfreeze itself then everything would be alright. So I did. The phone froze, I put it down for 30 minutes, and the phone was operational again. I repeated this process for at least a month until I gave up waiting for the freezes to unfreeze. The phone constantly kept freezing at the times where I needed it the most, so the easiest and fastest way to make the phone working again was to hit the power button and reboot it myself. Additionally, I didn't see any improvement in the phone's freeze-reboot bug. If anything, the problem actually got a tad worse.
Anyway, I was getting tired of SDS, so I decided to send it to repair: I wiped the phone and flashed the stock 4.1.2 ROM via ODIN. Then I started using it again, just for fun, to see if SDS had gone away(Which I thought it would not), before I would send it back to Samsung.
And, the symptoms of SDS were gone. Since returning to stock, I have yet to experience any freezes similar to the SDS-freezes from earlier. The BrickBug Check still says that I have an insane chip, though.
Now here comes the real problem: The general performance of the phone has now dropped, significantly. It often lags, and when I am in an app(especially Facebook and Ingress) and press the home button, the phone takes about three seconds to respond, and then sends me home. When I open the app drawer, it very often needs a few seconds to display my apps, and the multitasking menu is painfully slow on launch. Very often Tasker is also killed, for no obvious reason, and I have to open Tasker to activate it again.
The really odd thing is that the benchmark score(AnTuTu) is still pretty much the same as when the phone was relatively new.
Any ideas?
Sorry for the novel, but I felt that it was necessary...
