Like the title says I bought a S4 I9505 days ago, coming from the S3, but been disappointed because, between other issues, my browsers freeze and sometimes crash.
Any suggestions how to fix it? Anyone with the same symptoms?
Cheers

First i want to apologize my bad english. I´ll try my best. You guy´s from xda are known worldwide and you are my last hope.
I switched from the S3 to Note 3. It was delivered yesterday.
I read here and there about the Problem some People do have with there YouTube app (Stuttering).
I`m using a fast wi-fi Connection (100mbit) and i have the old s3 and the new note 3 in front of me. on the S3 every single movie runs perfect!
On my Note 3 not a single online Videos runs smooth.
Youtube app: constant stutter every 5 seconds.
Browser embeded Videos (4player.de for example) 15-20fps.
"Game one app" from playstore (gaming Magazin) 5-10fps !!!! unwatchable.
I have so many questions and no answer.
Is it a hardwarefailure (because there are many Note 3 user without that Problem)?
Is it a Firmware bug (4.3)? Why doesn´t anyone have the same Problem.
Is it an application bug (maybe not compatible with 4.3) ? But why do browser movies run bad too (no app).
What did i try so far?
I turned off smartpause. I did a factory reset and i switched hardware videoaccelaration under developer Options on. I used Odin to Flash a unbranded original Samsung Firmware (no root). Nothing changed.
So my hope is that you guys from xda could use your international "credits" to ask samsung for an official answer.
It can´t be that the most expensive Samsung Smartphone has these massiv Problems!
I have the Feeling it´s only a Problem of the black Note 3. By the way...my black note 3 (Telekom Branding) has this Homebutton Problem too.
Maybe other users with the same problem could write down if there Phone is black or white, moveable homebutton and which branding.
Thanks for your help!!
Greetings Rik
it might be hardware failure, best thing to do is going to where you first bought your phone and ask for replacement.
I've been on 4.4.2 for a little bit now....but around 2 weeks ago I started randomely experiencing notification center lag. It happens with all notifications. I experienced this on DanVH's 4.4.2 ROM. I decided I just needed to flash his latest which I did and the problem persisted...
I assumed that it was his ROM that was at fault so I went ahead and flashed KangaKat 4.4.2 and the problem is STILL persistent...
Which is wierd because I used to be on the SAME exact build of KangaKat BEFORE I ever flashed Dans 4.4.2 and I never experienced this lag of any sort...and nobody else seems to have the problem I do...
I'm thinking it has something to do with my device. Any ideas you guys have? I really hate having the lag, especially now since GoldenEye has a lag free notification....its just really unattractive. Is there a way I could possibaly wipe my phone during flashing to maybe get rid of some reminants of something left behind??? helppp
It's probably app related. Are there any apps you installed around the time you started noticing the problem?
I've noticed it happens with Gmail Skype and Kik sometimes....
Those are the 3 apps I use the most. Sometimes (like 5 minutes ago) it was laggy with Gmail and Skype. Sometimes its Kik and Skype
Sometimes its just kik itself..

You can try clearing the cache in this and see if it helps.

Surprisingly, I've experienced this lag on all types of ROMs (stock, GPE, AOSP), and still don't know why it happens. If it starts bothering me (and it does at some point), I just do a soft reboot. It might have something to do with Dalvik. Maybe this will be fixed if you have ART working.
Hi!
New I9505 user here.. Still getting used to it before I do anything. I just wanna ask if there is any known issue on our unit? Overheating, Crashing camera app etc? If there is one is there anything we can about it? like overheating, I know using a Bloat free ROM can help. Thanks for the response in advance
its just the over heating and its start to happen if you update or flash new rom or Stock firmware & its gone by if you charged your battery once till 100%.
and if you want to count the locked bootloader :\
i have i9500, the heating issues is gone on 4.4.2, the only bad thing in all galaxy devices is the lag, its better in 4.4.2 but still not perfect, opening contacts, phone, messages takes some time so its not as fast as it should be...
I purchased Galaxy S4 black edition 20 days ago and updated the same to lollipop. I had faced the issue described below is in kitkat version also.
The issue is identified only while using 2G(GSM only) internet connection. The issue is that, the screen falshes/blinks just for a second while using any application. If the phone is in idle state, the display turns on during this. If the keyboard is on while happening this, it just closes the keyboard. It seems like the UI is just refreshing.
Anyone out here faced an issue like this? Please suggest a solution for this!
Screen recorded video of the issue.

I have an s4 running a Google edition custom rom. It's 5.0.1 and has been just fine since I installed the from for maybe almost 2 months now. Recently it has developed a video problem where the video stops about a minute in but the audio still plays. This happens on the local player and streaming apps too. I have searched the web for answers and it seems many ppl have this issue and is not limited to s4 models. The only way to resolve it is a full wipe, but after a few days the problem comes back. Has anyone heard of this and what I can possibly do to stop it. I have tried clearing caches in all settings and gradually uninstalling recent apps but just can't get to the bottom of it. It's sooooooo annoying

Flash another one or flash stock and report as a bug to rom creator?
