Hey guys, I was just wondering exactly how long it takes to turn off or restart galaxy s4 i337. After the mf3 update (unrooted) it takes me a good 45seconds to a minute just to turn off. (hold down power button and select 'restart' or 'power off'). How long does yours take? When I power off, the blue led light shows, and there's a blue circle on the bottom of the screen which always spins for a bit and then stops spinning exactly when it reaches a vertical direction of 6 o'clock . (directly up and down) then right before the screen turns off, which is usually 45 seconds later after the spinning stops, the phone gives a short vibrate and the phone turns of completely. Thanks guys.

That sounds about normal. I think mine takes about 30 or longer. I just set it down haven't ever timed it

Yeah but for me it's a slight bother. My camera app starts glitching and just doesn't respond... Shows black screen instead and crashes. Only resolves after a restart. And I take tons of shots... Guess I'll just deal with it. I love this phone too much haha. Thanks btw!

When I got my s4 before 4.3 booting was about 15-20 seconds, same for shutdown. Hated it! Too much background processes and bloat. 45 seems a bit long though.. I just flashed a better rom and kernel than Samsung's touchwiz. Takes about 5-10 for startup and shutdown.

If I have mf3, unrooted, is there anyway to minimize my power off time? I asked my cousin and my friend and theirs took 10 seconds to shut off approximately. Same phone

if you don't want to root to remove bloatware you can just disable them

What does that have to do anything with this topic? I already have disabled them.

br4nd3n mentioned too much bloat and background processes, and you didn't say anything about already disabling them so that's why I said that
Ah, ok

I have the same problem with my phone taking about 30 seconds to power off. Is rooted by the way. I hope is a way so we can short the time taking to power off.

Try this, but beware, don't do it in bulk! My phone got stuck on the att screen after I tried reboot and ultimately had to factory restore. Just move apps from SD card back to device storage. Now it just takes 8 seconds to shut off for me.

Glad to hear.that's probably my first time helping someone in here.if only I waited 5 minutes so everything could have moved back to my device storage I wouldn't have had to factory restore. Good luck!

When I woke up, I picked up my S4, and it was completely frozen. The screen wouldn't turn on, and when I would unplug it the Green LED light would stay on. Is there anything I can do to stop this? My alarm didn't even go off.

Are you rooted? Running stock firmware? Phrase give more details

I'm running stock firmware. I haven't been using the phone too much, just to play some games, video chat with friends. Then I wake up, and it's completely frozen, and I had to take the battery out from the back.
Try rebooting the S4 into recovery mode and completing a factory reset along with wiping the cache as well.

Thank you! I did that, and let it charge for a long time, and no freeze. So far.

When the battery goes down to 15%, haptic feedback turns off by itself and I have to manually put it back on even after charging it again. This gets annoying after a while. What should I do? (i337)

Charge your phone before it gets to 15%.
Battery life is optimized when the charge is kept between 20-80%.

I know that... But I hate manually turning it on.... I'm asking how to stop it from turning off by itself.

So I picked up my nexus 7 after a week of not using it and connected it to a charger. Nothing happened, not even the battery icon to show its charging. Left it on for 6 hours, still nothing, doesn't even power on. Never been rooted but I have bricked my old phone before and I can say my nexus is behaving the same way. Could it of possibly bricked itself or is this a hardware defect? I have no warranty anymore so dont suggest sending it back either. Thanks!

Inspect the USB connector for bent or damaged pins, it is likely that battery ran dry and USB is borked where it won't charge.

Any luck yet? I had the same problem once when I left mine for a few weeks.
Holding both volume and power buttons seemed to work for me.
Hope you get it sorted

There r only 3 solutions
1) Charge your nexus 7 for at least an hour
2) take out the battery and push it back in
3) hard reset your nexus 7 or keep holding the power button for 60 seconds

My phone seems to be staying awake a lot longer than the screen is on. I have tried wakelock detector and the apps that have kept the phone awake (Facebook being the main culprit) dont add up to anywhere near the extra wake time. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

For me a simple reboot did the trick. My phone was not switching off unless I pressed the power button, I started to get worried about a hardware issue, but now is ok.

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.

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.
