AT&T Galaxy S4 Issue - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My AT&T Galaxy S4 will occasionally lock up for a few seconds and restart very quickly, its only when opening specific apps or typing with the keyboard.
I'm assuming its a software issue, but has anyone else had these issues?

Bumping this to see if anyone else is having issues like this.

Not anormal behavior

Watch On S4 problem

All the sudden Watch On app is turning itself on and showing in the notifications area. I turn it off(tell it not to) but when I restart it's back. What happened? Fix?
Thanks.

Check your settings and disable the "show remote in notifications"

Thanks, but that's what I have tried 6 times now. It automatically puts it back on restart.
Please help.

I came here and was just about to ask the same question. I could not figure out why this thing was always on in the notifications and status bar!

That is weird because I use my watch on app all the time. I disabled the notification from settings once and it stayed true. Are you running a custom ROM? I'm on ShoStock v2.0.

I am running SHOstock 2 and it happens to me too.
I reported it to samsung, you should too,
in the Settings near the bottom
Send feedback or get help
Report this faulty app Please!!!!
fix
Unless Samsung has updated the app behind the scenes.
This seems to have fixed the issue:
Under settings go into your applications
go to Samsung Watchon and hit the clear button,
Yes, you will have to re-setup your TV\Cable,
but the checkbox does not reset now.
I emailed them about the issue. You can report bugs from the app. I suggest everyone do the same

Reboot after call?

Anyone experiencing a reboot after a long call? I get one once a day and it's usually after I set the phone down on a desk. Not really having this issue any other time. Anyone have any ideas?

Well I did a battery pull and now don't really have this issue, at least not like I did. I still occasionally get one once a week when setting the phone down. Any ideas? Is it the phone or the battery?

"Once a week"... lol you act like it's been out for months now. It's only been out for 2 weeks. But I'm glad you solved your problem.

Genie widget (News & Weather app) after 4.3 update

Does anyone else still use this? I've noticed that the app is really choppy and sluggish since the MJA update. Has anyone else experienced and/or found a solution to this?

I use it, no issues.
Yeah, I figured out that problem - I was using an old version. I pulled the genie.apk out of the most recent gapps and all is well. Thanks!

Lag/Freezes?

My phone freezes and lags a lot. I wanted to know if anyone else was experiencing this? Or should I get a replacement phone.

Strange S4 behavior

My S4 is acting crazy lately. Seemingly randomly several download icons show up in my notification area. And it's old downloads that have been moved or deleted. Any idea what's going on? Thanks.
are you rooted with a custom recovery/rom
what's your build
what have you done to fix it
I'm rooted with stock and safestrap. It's 4.3 mk2. And since I have no idea what's going on I've done nothing to try to fix it.

Still looking for help with this one. It used to happen just once in a while but now it's like this almost all the time. Very annoying.

It may be time to Odin flash and start clean.

Thanks for the replies but my problem has gone away, per se. I ended up accidentally knocking the S4 off my desk at work and cracked the screen and screwed up the display. Now I have a S5 Active. Thanks again.
