Hello all. I have a Samsung GS3 with AT&T that I have had since September 2012. Recently my phone has been slower and lagging. When I type a text it is usually several letters behind. Occasionally it will close my internet browser. I also play Words with friends which closed and is very slow.
I have Android 4.1.1 (have not been prompted to download anything newer), I have 10.79GB available phone memory, a 16GB SD card with 8Gb free. I usually restart my phone during every recharge, although it has completely run out of battery a couple of times. I do not have a lot of apps downloaded and I don't really play games on my phone. I am a medium user, calls, texts, internet browsing, sometimes video watching, and words with friends.
I have begun to notice more performance issues and am not pleased. I had Advanced Task Killer but recently uninstalled it. After every restart I used App Manager to close out the Samsung pre installed apps (S Suggest, Media Hub, ATT Hot spots, ect. because you cannot uninstall these.) After running for a couple days my RAM is 1.3/1.56GB, after a restart it is 700MB/1.56Gb. Is this normal, high?
I would like to know what my options are to permanently improve my phone's performance.
Also I am not a computer genius, but am curious about ROM and rooting.
Thanks in advance.
