ive got the same problem. i believe it is a blue tooth problem.
only happens when i have my bluetooth on. very strange
and yes screen mirroring is off.
Youtube grayed out
I've disabled screen mirroring several times but it activates on its on for whatever reason.
I simply uninstalled the youtube updates and the issue has ceased.
I'll wait for a new youtube update before updating again and hopefully they will have fixed the nagging issue.
What I did was, first turn off bluetooth then open the Youtube App. Finally, turn on bluetooth and use as normal.

I bought a Nexus4 a couple of weeks ago. I constantly got this issue, it will be stuck and not return to the normal screen even I keep pressing the power button. However, if the other side of the call hangs up quickly, it normally works fine. but if it is directed to a voice mail box, it will be stuck forever until I shutdown the phone.
Just wondering has anyone experienced the same issue ?
Have you put a screen protector on it?

It sounds like the proximity sensor on your phone is being blocked you might want to try not using your case and see if its make any difference

Turns out the screen protector is the evil.
Thanks a lot!
Hi,
I've had my S4 for about 3 days now and today all of a sudden the rear speaker has stopped working. No sound comes out of it at all, including notifications, screen lock sounds, touch sounds and any other sound. I have restarted multiple times but there is still no sound. If I plug in some headphones then I can hear the sound through them, so the problem seems to be related just to the main speaker.
Please help me
Is it brand new. Can you take it back?
Are you rooted? Flash another ROM?

Yeah it's brand new, unrooted and completely stock.
I will go back to the store if all else fails but am hoping there is a solution.

I wouldn't say a lot, but I do use them for an hour or two every night before I go to bed. I used them briefly for about 10 minutes earlier today but the speaker randomly stopped working a few hours after that.
I think I even heard when the speaker malfunctioned because as I touched the screen the touch sound cut out about half way through, though I thought nothing of it. Only now do I realize that there hasn't been any sound out the speaker since then.
Oh because i had that problem lots of times but its because i had headphones in while i switched the phones off or if it went dead while they were plugged in. Then when i restart the phone without them plugged in the phone still thinks there connected when there not so how i fixed it is that i plugged them in and out really fast. Its worth a try but i doubt it will work in your case

Well nothing I tried worked, so I'm guessing it was a hardware malfunction (my guess is that the speaker blew somehow).
I went back to the store today and they gave me a new S4 with no hassle. Just a little disappointed that I spent all weekend setting it up and customising it and now I have to do it all again.
Heres hoping this one lasts more than 4 days lol.

Lol. Been abusing my i9500 like crazy since june. No issues so far. So your unit must have been faulty from the beginning.

Disappointed in the quality. I'm 90% sure it's physically out, but let's see if there's any way to troubleshoot.
Basically, was working fine initially, but it is not something I often use camera/camera flash. I found a thread about the hidden "torchlight" setting so that holding up on the volume when the screen is off turns on the light of X amount of seconds. It was working fine, but then yesterday I saw that it wasn't working.
I didn't think much of it, maybe some app I downloaded caused a conflict. But I just tried it with the camera flash and other flashlight apps and I get no light at all.
Any suggestions? Or am I going to have to deal with VZW.
Had the same problem. Camera flash and flashlight app stopped working. Tried different apps no help. Rebooted the phone and all is working now. Mine is still stock, not rooted

That did it, thanks. Still wonder why this happened though
Idk but don't get me wrong I came from a Note2 to the Note 3 and I absolutely love this phone but there's quite a few little bugs I've noticed. We definitely need a software update! Idk if u guys experienced it yet but a few times now I had all my apps that were in folders I made just get completely thrown out of them. At first I thought it was just with 3rd party launchers but then it happened once with TW too. I am not rooted either.

I believe there has been a small software update to the Canadian and European note 3's. We should get that soon enough. Overall though a great phone

So a few times a day, my screen goes unresponsive. The only way to unfreeze it is to turn the screen off, back on, unlock phone, and it all works great after that. I can also pull the s pen out and it will work but fingers do not. Seems that it happens everytime I am bragging and showing off the phone. Really annoying. Any thoughts?
I have done a factory reset, cleared cache, disable pen recognition.

I'm not sure what else to try at this point. I have read things about screen protectors and SD cards not being compatible. May try to remove those today.
Sent from my SM-N900V using xda app-developers app
Removed SD card, screen protector and case... problem gone. Now to reintroduce and find the culprit.
I also removed my case. Everything looking good so put my case back on without screen protector for a few hours. Still no problems. Now I am backing up my SD card and reformatted it. Copying files (mainly pictures and music) back to SD card no. Still no problems yet. Looks like my screen protector was the problem. User Manual actually states to not use a screen protector...

Interesting. What brand and model of screen protector so we can avoid. Have been running naked and perfect but was planning to add a screen protector soon.

Was just about to hit the buy button on Verizon for these screen protectors and wireless charger back since they're 25% off with corp discount. And, I was thinking of all the screen protectors out on the market the Verizon one would be validated to work. Thanks man for saving my butt.
I have the ones from the Verizon store and do not share any of these issues. I run naked with just the protector. Had it on since release date.

Well problem is back but not as often. Trying to decide if it's the case or SD. Leaning towards the SD. May try to run without it tomorrow.

Have you tried going to settings control scroll to bottom
Tick box to increase touch sensitivity
Or could be caused by magnet on your case if present
I have the same problem. I'll touch an icon on my home screen and nothing happens. I touch the icon 3-4 more times and nothing happens. Then after the 5th or 6th try, it'll FINALLY work. All this happening in the matter of 4-5 seconds.
It's really annoying and considering this has a Snapdragon 800 with 3GB of RAM I'm really baffled.

The sensitivity did seem to help some, but still happening.
After a 2nd hard reset, everything is looking good so far. Not going to change any stock setting for a while and see how it goes. Installed my usual apps only and synced Google account. So far no problems. Will wait and customize setting after I see if I have any problems.

Three hard resets later, problem is miraculously fixed. Only problem is I no longer have the Samsung App store and Samsung says they can't fix that.
