Does your s4 randomly reboot? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4

My gf got an s4 and it has randomly turned off and rebooted. She exchanged the phone once already for other issues but she says both phones were rebooting like this. She said it happens even with no apps from store installed. I thought it would be some kind of incompatible app causing an issue but maybe not. I have this phone and I am not experiencing this problem. Anybody gone through this?

Has she tried to flash it?

Only time mine did was when i was tethering and charging, not to mention it was approx 85+ degrees. I forgot to put my icepack on it but other than that no i have not had any reboot issues. If you can easily re-create the issue, take it to a Corporate store and show them.

Has happen once with mine while i was on instagram for a bit

My wife's s3 has.this issue. Doesn't matter which ROM. Kernel from ktoonz seem to fix the reboots

I now have experienced camera failure and my gf has too.. She is in love with the phone but experiences so many problems now.. I also have pink hue on bottom half of screen.. Loose creeky frame and both original and exchanged.. She has random reboots several times.. On both her s4s.. This is getting a little out of hand..

Weird Vibrations

I have a weird problem with my phone. Every so often, my phone wjll vibrate twice, in two really short bursts that arent powerful at all. It is completely random. And whenever im playing music, it will stop the music for 5 seconds. If anyone knows what this is it would be greatly appreciated because this is happening on my new phone, as well as my last two galaxy s 2's (ive gotten 3 replacements)

What apps do you have that give off frequent notification? Do you have facebook, friendcaster, word w/f, etc.? Can you give us a small run down?
you can also download betterbatterystats (free here on XDA) and look at what frequently runs perhaps it appears as a wakelock.
or you can always look at logcat

It's a kernel crash. It's a part of android. It usually happens to let you know that it crashed but android reloads where it last left off. Hence the reason for the gap in music. If you press home immediately after you will catch it trying to finish reloading.

Try running master's kernel cleanser and reinstalling the kernel, that's a place to start

You will have to root first... Unless someone with more experience chimes in with a different idea

Is the same app running every time it happens? It may be a 3rd party app that isn't completely compatible running on your phone. Try deleting any third party widgeta.. then going into your task manager and clearing your memory. Then add one widget at at time til it starts doing it. If it doesn't do it, then open one of your e eryday apps at a time till you have the vibrating again. You may find some crappy lil app that you installed is causing all the problems.

Touch sounds?

My touch sounds (water drop) keep getting re-enabled, causing me to have to go into settings and disable them again. It seems to happen randomly, about once every day or so. Anyone else experiencing this?
FWIW, I am on stock, rooted.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Experiencing the same on stock rooted LG8. Mine only started acting up after I installed Tasker roughly 4 days ago. Probably just a coincidence though. Are you also on LG8?
Mine is doing the same thing also, LG8, stock, rooted. Didn't happen on LG2.
Yes, I'm on LG8. Glad to know that others are seeing this as well...
Same issue here, and a very annoying one! Hope it gets fixed soon!
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
You could always delete them. Or replace with the standard tick noise from aosp or something.
I too am stock, rooted, LG8 and have this issue. Bugger.
flash cm10 kangs, buttery smooth, Google now and no option for "water droplets"...

Screen not timing out

So I noticed this a few days ago. I have the screen set to time out after 30 seconds. It will work for a while and then it will no longer time out. If i reboot the phone everything goes back to working order. Ive tried this with and without smart stay on and got the same results. I do not have any applications installed that would cause the screen not to time out, plus it works from time to time. Any ideas as to why it may be doing this?
This has been happening to me lately too... Don't really know what could it be.

Yes I'd also like to know as it is a bit annoying and killing my battery if I dont catch it!
This used to happen to me too. I even returned phone and it started happening again. This seems to be a bug. I flashed a new rom and it never happened again

Numbers showing incorrectly when call comes in

So ever since I've gotten the phone (9:00 am yesterday) all my calls have been showing up incorrectly when I am receiving them. I just wanted to know if anybody else has the same issue and what you did to resolve it.

I am so glad someone else is having this issue I've spent most of the day trying to resolve it. Ok, what I know so far:
It only happens on WIFI calling. I've cleared the wifi calling app no dice.
Customer service is unaware of the issue. They said use a different email account. UH NO I've had my gmail since it was in Beta.
I've reset my device twice it comes back after I re-install gmail I think it comes with the restore function I've tried stopping the restore function but it keeps coming back
Let me know if you fix it. I had a note two there may be a correlation
Same thing happens to me but only during wifi calling. No big

Same boat guys. Only happens during wifi calling. Very annoying to tell you the truth. Any help would be appreciated.

Ahh I see so that's what triggers it. I suppose they'll issue a fix once they find out what's causing it
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
I have a thread on Google + it is somehow tied to wifi calling and to Google contacts sync. Anyway you have to clear the cache partition. Hold down volume up, home and power keys until you see Samsung note 3 then release just power until you are in recovery then chose volume down to clear cache and power button to select then restart you may have to factory reset the device
It seems fixed on my phone but a friend is still having trouble
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Yeah that didn't work for me. I want to try re flashing instead of resorting but it just so happens that Kies doesn't support the note 3 yet.

[Q] My Magazine Not Responding All the time

Hey everyone,
I don't even use My Magazine but it stops responding all the time. Like 3 or 4 times a day. And everything freezes for a few seconds every time it does.
Anyone else hear of this / know of a solution? A friend told me it's a known issue with using the Nova launcher, but I was just searching for this known issue and I can't find a thread about it anywhere.
yes me too I thought it happened after I tried to unintelligible it and other bloat with titanium nd things started force closing so I restored them....wither way though same happens to me

well at least i'm not alone haha. i haven't done anything to try to disable or hide it. i'm not even rooted or anything yet. i just haven't used it since the day i got the phone 2 weeks ago and yet since the past 3 or 4 days it's been popping up not responding at random.
i just started suffering from this problem and i can't fix it. My Magazine freezes and crashes when i'm not even using it and it does this very often. This makes the phone lock up for a couple seconds. Very annoying.

Ditto, I believe it's happening to all note 3s, I remember reading about this same issue weeks ago when I first got my phone

Go to setting - General - Application manager - all - find my magazine - clear data and cache - force stop - restart your phone. This is how I fixed it. I hope it helps you.
Ps: this fixed the crashing issue but it's still very laggy at first start then is good.

Blaster - did what you mentioned, but next day came back! I hope they do an update soon to fix this! It sucks they force this app on us and it is not stable.
