Just had my first crash and force restart since I've owned the phone. MJ7, not rooted, was just checking for new mail in Gmail. The bars stopped moving across the top, then black screen and restart. This never happened before the update. Anyone else had anything similar?

So it just started happening today but each time I try to enable 4G the OS crashes. I get the black screen of death and subsequent restart. Any idea why? What can I do to fix it?
Bump

Same thing happened to me yesterday when I enabled 4g thru the pull down bar buttons. Also somtimes I get that black screen freeze and random soft restart randomly. Like today I was walking into work, got a text message, opened up the messaging app and slid open the keyboard to start tryping and I tapped out like 5 letters and then my phone just froze, went black, then like restarted without the full reboot

This is exactly what happens to me. I've rooted but that shouldn't have anything to do with it. Anyone else? Any suggestions?
The touch screen on my DX stops responding several times a day. It very random, it can be during a text, answering a call, etc. If I lock and unlock the screen, its back to normal. Its running the OTA 2.3.340 and is rooted, but this started prior to rooting. The "tech" at VZW said to do a factory reset but I'd rather not have to re-setup everything. Anyone else have this problem and have you found a fix? Any help appreciated. Thanks.
I have this exact same problem
Are you using a rom? It happens to me every once in a while, maybe every other day or so, sometimes twice in a day. I thought it might be the rom I'm using. I'm on liberty but everything else works fine for me so I was just waiting it out till they get version 1.5 released.

No other ROM, it is stock other than rooting and removing a few bloatware packages. It did this before removing any of that though.
My phone just started doing this recently as well. I think a program running in the background might be at fault. I'm still trying to find out which one

Same issue here.I think this is a documented bug, and I haven't seen anyone post a fix for it anywhere
Hi All,
So I seem to be having a weird issue, and I don't know if it is my phone, or simply connection issues.
I got my Note 3 last night and it seemed to hang on "Downloading" for app updates. It seemed more prone to it if the phone went to sleep, and then it would take a while to kick in once it woke up.
There doesn't seem to be an issue when the phone is awake, but if the phone turns off.
Anyone else having issues?
Thanks
I have the issue sometimes. You just have to hit the x next to the DL bar and re install.

Hi all... 2 nagging issues since updating to 4.3. I am stock, never rooted this phone and simply forced the ota update.
When clicking on Google search to open Google now, it will randomly force close. It starts to load my cards, then shuts down. I've cleared app data and same results. Happens randomly.
Works fine when first opened, but kill it then try and reopen it. Half the time it closes on me. Un-installed latest version and reverted to previous update and works fine. I saw someone else complain about the same issue in the play store and I also read that perhaps I should factory reset.
I also noticed the following... if you have ripple effect checked for lock screen, when your phone screen is off, then turn your screen on either with power button or with the home button and swipe to unlock immediately, upon screen waking up, the phone does not always do a smooth transition into the home screen. It seems like the majority of the time it flashes a quick black then into home screen. This behavior does not happen with lock screen effect on none or light.
Can somebody be so kind to test these two issues above (try it several times as it doesn't always happen on first go) and let me know if you are experiencing the same issues before I try a factory reset?
Thanks so much
EDIT: DId the factory reset, and still seeing the above issues. Must be 4.3 bugs. Would still love to get other user feedback
Google search does the same thing to me sometimes. If i click the search bar and start to type or hit the mic too talk it will force close on me. But if i just open it and dont touch anything for a couple seconds and then start typing itll be fine.

Thanks for answering. Can you also test the second issue with ripple effect and unlocking the phone immediately after? At least I cleaned the phone up by doing a factory restart.

Ripple effect is pretty smooth for me and goes straight to the home screen or whatever screen i was on last.

It is for the most part for me, however turn power on and almost instantly as screen turns on swipe the ripple to unlock. See if you get the flashing black.its very short flash.

I don't see it lol i dont like the Ripple effect tho it was cool on the s3 but the light effect is so much better looking

I turned it off for now. Thanks for confirming the damn Google now bug.

Problems I am having are:
1. Downloaded apps install icon over another app.
2. When I turn on WIFI I get a warning that an app tried to access system without authorization and has been stopped.
The only one that really bothers me is the WIFI problem but the other one is kinda annoying as well.
Never mind, I factory reset and problems went away.
My phone received the ng2 update. I'm stock, not rooted. One thing I noticed is that when opening the messaging app, it is sluggish and has some noticeable lag when first opening the app. I've emptied out the messages and cleared cache to no avail. Anyone else experiencing this?

I fired up the phone in safe mode thinking I may have a rogue app. No luck, same results. Slow and sluggish only in the messaging app. I wiped cache, no luck. I rebooted the phone, and quickly while it was loading I went into the messaging app and it opened smoothly, however, after about 30 seconds it began to lag again. You can notice it when you hit the soft menu in the app. I'm beginning to think its an issue with the messaging app as it is the only app exhibiting this behavior. I'd really hate to to even try a factory reset as I am not rooted and can't make a backup. Anybody else on NG2 check their messaging app and hit the soft menu to see if it is laggy compared to all other apps? Thanks so much.
Did a clean wipe of the entire phone and still seeing the sluggishness. Either most of you haven't received the update yet or I can chalk it up to ng2 issue. Hopefully somebody on ng2 can chime in.

Thanks Troy. Driving me nuts. It's not tremendous lag bit you can notice it's slight sluggishness. I wonder if the ota download was bad. It says ng2 is installed.
