There is some poping up posts about the Galaxy S3 freezing with lockups,Lockscreen not responding that requires pulling out battery
and ending up with unsual rebooting and bootlooping which is a very awkward and annoying issue, especially the Q&A section which contains
a lot of angry S3 users reporting this problem.

An eMMC block is affected, when it's internal block pararameters (as f.e. write count for that block) are in such a state, that these parameters trigger a corrupted block without SD-fix (4.1.1) or trigger a freeze with SD-fix (4.1.2). When a phone is hitting an affected block with a writiing operation is completely unpredictable. So these freezes can occur on almost each situation on the smartphone when it writes data. But you have indeed a higher chance to trigger a freeze when writing much data. |
