I wish I could help you with that, but I was forced to downgrade mine to 4.2.2, wich gave me knox warranty 0x1, also I saw a norwegian online IT magazine claiming samsung has pulled the 4.3 update in USA and UK at least.
They used BBC as source: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-24995544
also: http://www.sammobile.com/2013/11/18...egarding-galaxy-s3s-android-4-3-update-issues
and

I've just checked them links out, it's crazy really as most my apps are on my sd card so unusable most the time and if I move them to the phone I have no space left so I can't win. Not a lot we can do really

Backup your files. Then boot into the recovery and wipe cache. If problems persist, then wipe system/data.
Files as in images music etc? Will my apps stay on there?

Everything will be wiped.
But your apps should be downloaded automatically when you setup your phone again.
Do you wreckon this will solve all the issues I been having?

Agreed.. My old S2 started doing that.. It was the eMMC chip. You need to give more info about the phone itself, such as:..
How was the phone flashed?. If you used ODIN, was "USB Debugging" in "Developer Options" (active) Checked, also was "Re-Partition " in ODIN UN-checked, also did you use any 3rd party kernels or bootloaders or Radios,
Do you use a Case and screen protector, if not.. Have you dropped the phone, has it been cushed in your pocket.. or has it gotten Wet or condensation, maybe from excessive sweating or excersize.
Have you installed a Custom ROM.on it in the past but not read or followed the instructions properly, they are a minefeild if you dont follow the guides
Are you using a 3rd party Non Samsung Battery or a different Charger.
Has any hardware on the phone been replaced, such as the screen , camera or body part.. which may not have been put back properly.
Was the phone pre-owned, which case.. the previous owner couldve done anything to it..
Have you installed a faulty SD Card in the past or used an old SD from a Windows 7 or Windows 8 phone without formatiung it.
If the answer to these is No, Ide return it for a replacement or refund.
Good luck

Try flashing your original ROM. If it does the same thing, then it will be ready for warranty
I hoped I won't have to do it but thanks

same problem here, I just discover I can make them if I turn data off.
I guess I went too far installing paid apps from applanet, I'm sure one of them realized that and is messing with the phone as a payback

Restore factory settings and if it wont work then flash with stock rom

I've had my note 3 for a few weeks now and having come from an s1, s2, s3 and s4 I'm finding I get fc's and freezes in pretty basic android features.
1. My settings > volume controls froze yesterday
2. the flip board widget wouldn't open the flip board page then hung the phone this morning.
3. just now ending a call froze instead of hanging up, then gave an error procees com.android.phone (or similar) is not responding.
Is this knox messing with stuff or just a buggy stock rom (mj7)?
Obviously a factory reset is the next step but I'm interested to know if anyone else finding their's is doing weird stuff that never happened on previous devices?
Thanks

I have not had such a bad problem like that with my device, A few crashes here and there (1 a week) but that's to be expected from android..I can from an S2.
Hi,
I've had my N3 since release and no issues even following a few updates. However following a patch I believe it's always good to perform a full wipe and restore, and I think patch 3 or 6 was big! I had no issues with my S2 yet my Father took it on but had to factory wipe even though I'd done the same before handing it over (now works fine).
Hope this helps.
Jonty.

OK thanks, so maybe needs a reset. Never had issues like this after updates on other devices before. Hope its not going to be on a regular basis.
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Hopefully just a one-off. I've never had to factory reset yet after an update but the awareness is always there just in case.
Keep us posted?

Did you install Wanam Xposed framework and use Center Clock at Status Bar? If yes, return back to original right side will solved the problem.
The center clock no longer work properly since MJ6, most obvious is FC your phone after end call.
No its stock and unrooted. My a alarm clock crashed last night and just now I had to reboot to get my phone signal to be seen. Will do a factory reset tonight. I'm hoping that due to no one else commenting with issues, that will fix it.

So I've had this thing for about a week now and the growing list of complaints is still mounting. Now I have an issue where almost all my apps, only those on the sd card, need to be redownloaded. The icon for them is just the Android guy with a little sd card on the lower right of the icon. When I touch it it takes me to Google play and says it's not installed. Anyone experiencing the same? I have reinstalled a few and when I did it seems my info is still there. No idea why it happened.

Have you tried reformatting the sdcard with the phone (not with windows)?
Sent from my SM-N9005 using xda app-developers app
Was going to until I noticed that when I reinstalled the apps my data was still there so I didn't want to risk losing all my data

Is the card mounted OK? - does it keep unmounting itself? Could be messing up the file system but not actually destroying data., which would indicate a card problem, tried testing the card also? - Try another SD card if you have one, or alternatively format it via the phone and lose the data, then redownload.
Mounting seems fine, actually unmounted and remounted a few times with same results. Haven't tried testing it, what's a good way to do so? I guess an idea would be to transfer app off card back to phone and reformat and see what happens.

Hey guys I'm on an AT&T D800... since Monday afternoon my phone had been unusable... it got extremely hot both front and back near the mid to top of the phone... and was just chewing through battery 31% in 15 minutes... so I powered down and left it numerous times on different stock based rooms and still no luck it would just overheat till it shutdown or battery died if I didn't turn it off... I managed to get it charged enough to restore my stock backup, unroot, and put the stock recovery back on and then did 2 factory resets with still no change... so I called at&t and they sent out a warranty replacement which will be here tomorrow.. so my question is do any of these return to stock methods actually clear rootchecker? That's my only worry that they'll see that and nail me the retail price of the phone... I didn't use a custom kernel just the roms...
I see conflicting stories from people saying yes it does it clear rootchecker and others saying no.. I would just try but I don't have WiFi so I don't burn up my months data just to find out it didn't work.
The phone seems to be working fine since I powered it up 2 hours ago but I'm worried about any residual/repeat issues or decreased lifespan of phone from the overheating issues
Thanks in advance!

Did you check to see why the battery was being depleted so fast? I am willing to bet the phone itself was fine, but some app was utilizing the entire CPU, which would heat the phone up and kill the battery quickly.
Which means it's entirely possible you'll have that issue with the new one as well.

Hi everyone
So I update my N9005 to the official polish kitkat firmware and I've been experiencing episodes of screen unresponsiveness very often. Anybody else has this problem? Anybody managed to fix it?
P.S I'm aware of the counterfeit/unoriginal s-view flip covers issue which I'm having as well but the thread isn't about it.
Hope someone has a solution.

Hello, I have been experiencing moments of "freezing" or unresponsiveness as well.
For me, it seemed to be due to chrome or using power saving mode. (People in another forum were blaming their droid maxxs freezing problem on chrome) I disabled chrome and disabled power saving mode.
Then I started using opera. I experienced another moment of unresponsiveness using opera without the power saving mode.
I was thinking back to the first times that it happened and it seemed to be paired to the wifi download and upload symbol being active in upload and download activity.
I know that correlation does not mean causation, but I think it is worth exploring if the network activity is causing it to somehow hang.
This bizzar occurance made me perform a factory wipe leading to another round of issues involving processing err_0000, but that is another story; sadly, it didn't even fix the issue.
OP, are you still experiencing the moments of unresponsiveness? If you are, have you noticed the events that are correlated with the event?
Has anybody else experienced this or found a remedy?
It could be one of the apps from the play store that is not playing nice with kitkat, but due to the multitude of other issues, I'd say it is a kitkat or touchwiz flaw.
Thanks for any help.
Lago

I had an issue with screen not responding sometimes .....I figured out it was due to the flip case (original by Samsung). Although lately I haven't experienced that either.
Try using the original non flip case and see if you still have the issue.

I have never had a s-view flip case on mine. I use holster iblason case that has no interaction with the screen.
This only started for me once I upgraded to kitkat.

I just cleared the cache, factory wiped, and installed the Russian update N900XXUDNC4 and so far, the phone is a lot smoother. No hangups in the browser yet, but time will tell lol.

Battery life is looking good. Power Saving off, bluetooth on and connected to my smart watch.
I made one short call. I don't talk on the phone that much. I mostly use it for Internet browsing, music, and instant messaging/texting. I'll update on Tuesday when I have a full day at school.
Keep in mind though that the n9005 is the lte version. I have a n900, the non lte international variant; our battery life may be different.
Edit: 4/20/2014 same charge 70% 1 day 6 hours bluetooth, wifi, gps, and 1 Gmail account in sync.

Even I experienced the same. My phone came with Kitkat installed. Freezing happens when a webpage is loading or the time i turn on Sync etc. strange thing is phone seems smooter when power save mode turned on.
I think it may be a problem that was not fixed until the March 31st 2014 KitKat build. I have been using Chrome heavily since I installed the most recent official rom; I have not experienced any lag or hanging system wide or in the browser. It reminds me of 4.3.
When I wiped and reinstalled the previous rom, I noticed the lag and unresponsiveness right away.
I'm going to use the browser heavily next week. If I have no issues, I think it may be safe to say that the bug was fixed in the latest kitkat with March 31st 2014 build date.
People with lag, do you have the lte variant or the regular SM-N900? I'm starting to think only the SM-N900 are being impacted by sour Sammy updates.
And if you guys wipe your phones, make sure to turn reactivation lock off because it could cause an error that will not recognize your real Sammy account and password. This phone has become stressful; I'm not updating it again lol
