Samsung Galaxy S3 cleaning up after an official update

Samsung Galaxy S3 cleaning up after an official update

In the following article I will explain to all users of a Samsung Galaxy S3, rolling Original Samsung firmware, how to clean and optimize it for better performance terminal after receiving an official update.

This tutorial o basic advice It is valid for all models of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and it is essential to do it for cleaning and improving the stability of the system.

If you have found that after an official update your terminal appears slower or it restarts itself, this advice will be essential for cleaning the remains of systems that may have been left after automatic updates via OTA.

This problem has already been commented to me by more than one user of the Samsung Galaxy S3, and it is that apparently after a official update, the terminal is becoming slower and slower and behaves like heavier or I have even encountered sporadic reboots or continuous device reboots to such an extent that you cannot use it for a couple of minutes.

Samsung Galaxy S3 cleaning up after an official update

The solution is very easy, we just have to access the recovery mode from our terminal and make a Wipe cache partition.

How do I access Recovery Mode?

Samsung Galaxy S3 cleaning up after an official update

To access recovery mode or better known as Recovery Mode, we will only have to start with the terminal completely off, turn it on while holding down the arrow keys. volume up plus power plus home key, as soon as the screen turns on we will release the Power key and continue with the volume up and Home key until the recovery screen of our Android.

In this new recovery menu or Recovery Mode We will navigate through the options with the volume keys and confirm with the Power button.

Now we will only have to go down with the volume buttons to the option of wipe cache partition and confirm with the Power button.

With this we will get delete remnants of other versions of Android that may have gotten stuck in our current system and in that way we will improve the speed of the system and its performance.

Although if you want to get more out of your Samsung Galaxy S3, I recommend you install some specially cooked rom optimized for this sensational terminal Samsung.

    1.    Francisco Ruiz said

      If you only do the wipe cache partition you will not delete anything

      1.    Kathy said

        A query, I did the wipe cache partition to my Samsung Galaxy J5, and now I restart fine, but in the part of recognizing my account, it says that it is not the account of the owner of the device, what can I do? I'll appreciate your answer.

    2.    FOX said

        Hello Francisco. I have a Samsung S3 mini from Vodafone running perfectly with andrid 4.1.2. It gives me the option to update the software and I wonder if it would be convenient or counterproductive since I have read that it can bring problems.
        I would greatly appreciate your opinion.
        Thank you.

        1.    Francisco Ruiz said

          If the mobile works well for you, my personal advice is that you do not update it at least until the new firmware is more than tested and some time has passed.

          1.    ajsrzombie said

            Thanks for the advice Francisco. I have not updated, and I think I was correct. If something works well, it is better to leave it as it is 🙂 Kind regards.

    if the news is about the S3 why do you put an S3 mini in the photo?

    1.    Francisco Ruiz said

      This is not only valid for the S3, it can be done on any Android, I wanted to put the S3 in the title because it is the one that reported the most problems after official updates.

    Hello Francisco Ruiz, I wanted to ask you a question, I have updated several times through OTA and Kies, and I have never done a wipe cache partition, can I do it now?

    The update for the Galaxy S3 will arrive in November or December, in the last ones I had some problems, I could not do it via OTA (it gave me an error) and via Kies in the end I could but with many problems also errors, if I do that cleaning maybe there are no errors, or maybe it is another problem.

    A greeting.

    1.    Francisco Ruiz said

      You can do the cleaning with peace of mind.
      Greetings friend.

    Hello, my S3 does not want to update the software it starts updating but when it reaches 30% it drops. Then I turn on the device. How can I update it? I already tried 4 times and the same thing always happens.

  16.   Maru said

    And after I put the wipe partition, how do I turn it back on? Because I put dps of that reboot system now and the tel is still the same

  17.   Gustavo said

    Francisco, can I ask you how do I get my Samsung S3 back so that the 4 × 3 keyboard works for me, without erasing the contents of the cell phone?

  18.   Elisa said

    Hi Francisco, let me tell you that last Friday I updated my s3 software but it keeps getting stuck all the time 🙁 HELP, what do I do?

  19.   Antonio Rodriguez said

    Hello Francisco. I need your help. I tried to update the Firmware of my S3 mini from Kies, everything was fine, but in the end when it told me to disconnect the cable and reconnect it the phone did not want to turn on correctly. It turns on and stays on the samsung image flashing blue. It does not go from there. I need to get it back but when I tried with Kies again it didn't want to recognize the device and I tried with firmware initialization, I entered the model and S / N and it tells me that it is not supported. I need help to get the phone back please.

    1.    Francisco Ruiz said

      If you have access to Download mode, you can recover it with Odin. Try the key combination to turn it on Volume down plus Home plus Power, when the Samsung logo pops up, release Power and keep the other two pressed until the downloading screen appears.

  20.   Tania arriola said

    Hi francisco I find the info very interesting. I have the s3 mini and I did it and it works wonders now :-) .. My question is how often and what to do this process?

  21.   expensive said

    Hi there! I try to do what you tell me but I am left on the screen saying

    format / cache ...

    what I do??

  22.   erick said

    They recommended me to do this because the billet did not work now, I only have a message on the screen that says star, what do I do?

  23.   Florence Veron said

    Hello Francisco! I have a samsung galaxy S3 and update to android 4.3, and it won't let me connect to wi fi and it says that the connection is very slow, that is why it does not connect or that there are connection problems or that it is checking the IP. WHAT DO I DO ?? HOW DO I SOLVE IT? THANK YOU

  24.   Antonio Rodriguez said

    Hello Francisco. Thanks for your comment. Before reading it, I took it to the Samsung technical service here in Caracas, Venezuela. At first they told me it was the software and that they would install it for me. When I went to look for it, I realized that it did not read the chip on the telephone line, so they explained to me that due to the update that I tried to do to the firmware with KIES, the logic card was damaged and that changing it was more expensive, so I brought myself my phone without changing anything and now it does not read the chip and despite having more than 4GB of free memory, it tells me that the memory is full. To add, it sticks too much. My question is: Is it possible for the logic board to get damaged from a bad firmware update? Because I have the doubt that they have changed my logic card and they have given me a bad one so that later I paid and they put the same one that I had (the good one) and Samsung was not losing money (?). THANKS IN ADVANCE!

  25.   Antonio Rodriguez said

    Also, sorry for so many questions: When can the phone take in Downloading mode?

    1.    ALIDA said

      How many times did you select wipe cache partition? I have already selected it several times and I keep getting the options you did later

      1.    Laila said

        Holi, well a month ago your question, I hope you have been able to solve it already and if not here I will help you, today at noon my S3 was updated and not because the cell phone only of toquetona rabble had asked me. x see if there was an update and when he threw it to me I gave him to accept without being aware of all these problems !!! as I regretted the minute when the cell phone was turned on, a slow disaster to enter all applications! a while ago googling solutions I came to this page, I did what Francisco explains and it happened to me like you and another boy who comments the same thing above, when you do all the steps the options continue to come out, I gave him like 4 times until I realized that at the bottom of everything, in those legends that appear in red when you select wipe cache partition, it says in English that the task is finished, I did not read until I realized it! so it's supposed that everything is ready there, to leave I left pressed Power and it turned on in one touch normally, so far it has been 15 minutes since I did it and the truth is that the change is noticeable, now it immediately loads the application drawer , turn on the screen quickly ... hopefully everything continues well !!! and THANK YOU FRANCISCOOOO X SHARE THIS HELP !!!

  30.   Alfredo Nunez said

    I try to do it but when I get erasing on it I get an error and it restarts, I hope they help me since my cell phone is slow

  52.   carlosresendiz said

    I just made your recommendation, but I am missing something after putting it in the wipe cache partion, it remains the same menu I suppose that after you select reboot system now, is it correct? Because from there it turned on normal and with more battery than I had when I turned it off, at least nothing bad has happened so far if it is no longer slow or it locks later I will make the comment

    Good morning,
    I already did, now how do I get out and turn on the cell phone again?

  56.   Max said

    How are you. I bought a few days ago the samsung s3 and it came from the factory with the android4.3 the truth is not very slow but it has its moment when it does. The movements work well for me except the one that you pass with your hand over the screen and take the photo from the screen. Ami that movement does not work for me. Could it be a problem with the OS ?. The wifi works for me when it wants. It appears to me that "it is not stable" when I am next to the modem. With other equipment the wifi has no problem. Do you advise me to install android 4.1? Please help. Thanks a lot.!

  57.   louis feliow said

    Mr. Francisco my question is, if I do the wipe cache partition, will it delete the passwords of the emails that I have opened with crhome and that I told you to save the password?
    I appreciate your cooperation

  60.   Francisco Ruiz said

    No, there is no risk as nothing essential on the system is touched, only residual files are deleted.

    Hello Fransisco, what happens is the following, my cell phone runs fast or normal. But sometimes when I block it. To then be able to unlock it again, the screen takes time to turn on, sometimes it takes 1o2 seconds but there are times that it takes up to 9o10 seconds if I do the process that you explain, do you think this problem will be fixed? If anyone knows the solution to this problem, I would be very grateful if you could help me please

  65.   LLETMADUXA said

    It only takes me to start safe mode, following the first steps, I do not enter any Recovery Mode menu, so I will be doing something wrong or it simply does not work for all SIIIs equally.

  66.   waltergfml said

    Fuck.thanks, I just wanted to know if something wrong happened when selecting that wipe partition cache option 🙂

  67.   Miguel Angel said

    Well, thank you very much, the mobile was very slow, especially when turning on, it took 4-5 minutes to turn on, I thought it was because I had it rooted, and I have too many applications on the memory card using linksd, 467, and never I let it turn off because it was frustrating to turn it on after running out of battery, imagine if I have to quickly turn on the phone in an emergency ...
    and I throw the wipe partition and it starts me up in 30 seconds, in my life it would have occurred to me that it was because of this, I was black using cleaning programs, and managing the programs with auto-start and I did not get anything, what a change ...
