If you are annoyed at the 2+ second wake up lag with the note 3, you can fix it by removing the sd card from the device. sounds weird but it works.
Or you could just disable media scanner.

I've used Rescan Media on other phones to keep the phone from scanning the SD card on every boot. I don't know if it'll work on the Note 3, but the phone is fast enough that I don't mind the 2 second lag. (The shortest lag I ever ran into that cost a life was well over 10 seconds. If takes me 2 seconds more to call 911, I don't think anyone's going to die.)
So every time you wake the device it takes 2s? Did it do this out of the box? I doubt it; so I'd suspect it's an app issue, or you've installed a bunch of wonky xposed modules or something.
My phone is stock for the most part. Haven't rooted the phone (killing me btw) but i did install your normal apps.
It lags from time to time and it does bother me. It shouldn't lag like that.

Have that turned off as well. Can't be that
This same thing existed on the note 2. It was always said that it was due to the exynos going into such a deep sleep that it took a second or 2 to gather itself and wake up so to say. Someone made an app that would keep a constant wake lock so it wouldn't sleep. Obviously you can guess the side effects but it did work.

So, is it possible that it is the button lagging?
I notice a little lag when trying to wake my phone but I also notice lag elsewhere. After the home button is pressed there is a small delay before getting to your launcher. The menu button also has a delay when opening the menu (wallpaper, manage apps etc) on launcher.

He suggested that the problem comes from the sd card you use. He stated that he removed his old card and got a sandisk and it fixed the issue for him
I had my old pny 32gb card in but it has been giving me problems for a while. The note 3 was not reading it ( was at 1st)
So i took the card out and so far the lag is gone. Both on the lock screen and end call
Ill keep testing but so far there is a change. Weird.

Well it has helped me. Since i took out my sd my phone hasn't lagged like before.
Even though it is the same phone each make act different. As an example, the guy got a SanDisk card and he was fine. May not work for my phone. So far removing the card helped me.
Shouldn't be like this. Our phones should all work perfectly but that is not the case. With this phone and others i have had in the past.

Must be an issue with the earlier release models. I got mine less than a month ago and has a 32GB PNY card and no issues whatsoever. In fact it has NONE OF THE ISSUES stated in any of the threads on this site. If I press the wake button, bam! there it is. So this must be an issue for you early buyers.
I got my note 3 about 3 weeks ago. Dont know what model it is because i haven't looked.
My previous sd was given me problems before, had to reformat it twice and when I took it out it wasn't working. So maybe that was the issue.
I have a SanDisk card coming so lets see how that goes.

Hi there,
In a nut shell what has happened:
-Phone went through washing machine
-Phone placed in rice for 3 days. Recovered and was working fine afterwards. Only issue was reception bars not as good as before. Overall, phone worked fine for 2 weeks until...
-Phone was charged with portable usb charger for 2 hours
-When came back to phone, it was really hot to touch. Switched it on, it forced reboot.
-Left the phone for a few minutes to cool, reboot it again. It was functional for about 30-40 seconds (you can even make a short phone call) - but eventually it locks up and crashes again. This process continued after many trials.
-Flashed via odin official stock 4.1.1 JB - stuck on samsung animation. Also, when in recovery mode, volume buttons are very unresponsive.
Story in full:
My friend's phone has suffered quite a bashing recently. It went through the washing machine a few weeks ago - but survived. We put it in a rice bowl for three days and after a while it was back to normal - all functions working as usual. Reception seemed to be not as strong as before, but it more or lessed worked 95% as it did before the washing machine incident.
Now, the issue:
I plugged it into a portable charger (I've used this charger on my own i9300 before with no issues). I left it to charge in my bag to charge when 2 hours later I went to take it out. The phone was really hot and the phone itself was off. I switched it and it booted - I noticed it was charged to about 70%. But then the phone locked up and it forced reboot.
I assumed it was the heat, so I just pulled the battery out and let it settle down for a while. I put the battery back in and the same problem occurred. I could use the phone for about 30 secs when it just locks up and reboots. I go into my recovery screen (TWRP) and it does the same - crashes and reboots.
The problem persisted all day and so I just gave up - reflashed via odin stock 4.1.1 JB. It flashed fine, or appeared to anyway - but when the phone goes to boot it is stuck on the samsung screen.
What happened? Is my phone broken for good? Did somehow the portable charger fry the insides of the phone?
Any suggestions?
Another strange thing is when I insert an external sd card it works fine. WTF?

Hey,
Yep that's me - but this is a friend's GS3, someone I swayed onto Android. I'm still using the GS3. It's fine now. But yes - the phone is pretty wonky. Again, it works fine with an sd-card inside, but take it out and the symptoms above persist.
Situation update:
Everything works fine better than ever ONLY when an EXTERNAL SD card is installed. When none is installed the phone will crash, even in recovery mode

Also the external memory card literally is like this phones lifeline. You select unmount and it continues to work. But as soon as a physically eject the card the phone freezes, from here I have approximately 30 seconds to put the card back in, if I don't it freezes, if I do it returns to normal.

Sounds like one of the BGAs under the sdcard reader has bad solder joins to me. The extra preassure provided by the card is physically completing the connection.
Partially disassemble and test by pressing the area by hand to verify.
Repair will require significant skill and a hot air reflow station.

Here's what happens to me with Gallery lag on my N2 and Note 10.1. When I'm connected to my home Wi-Fi network I get equal Gallery lag on both devices occasionally but it's never consistent. I just tried it on my N2 connected to my home network and today it's fine. If I'm on a non-home Wi-Fi network I don't get any lag and it also doesn't happen on HSPA. My theory is that because my home network has a ton of media across multiple PCs and a server the lag is the Gallery trying to pull all the content in and index it. The Gallery may also identify the most connected network as "home" and treat it differently from an indexing perspective. There could also be an update timer that periodically re-indexes all the content on the network which would explain why it's not consistent. Just my guess; YMMV.

Does it happen to you all the time or occasionally? It has something to do with indexing and the Gallery because it's not unique to the SGS4 and reported on all the Samsung forums. I've never had it happen off my home network but that doesn't mean it couldn't.
No not all the time, it's like every third time I open it then it is slow to open, just real frustrating.

I miss SONY Xperia Z's gallery, it works just perfectly.
Strangely, my phone stopped responding to knock on to wake the screen. When you pressed the hardware power button to wake the screen would immediately close. It would take about 10-15 tries to unlock the screen in that split second before it closed. To troubleshoot I flashed back to factory and I still had the same issue after the phone was allowed to sleep just a few minutes. I took the OTA, same problem.
I was ready to box it up and swap out, but decided to try one other thing. I went to the screen off effect and changed it to Simple. Everything worked fine after that. I switched it back to retro tv and it would take many more tries to wake the screen. apparently its some kind of software bug. Thought I'd pass the info on to anyone else having similar issues.
Apparently root apps that play with system files trigger the bug too, like greenify. So the bug isn't tied to one screen effect, just switching to another fixes it until you play with system files via flashing or root apps. Hopefully it's something they fix in the next update.
It seems if you flash or change any system files, it reverts back to the retro tv effect and the issue repeats until change to another transition.
So the knock on feature is supposed to be more reliable if I do this?

If you are suffering from the same software bug, it works. If you flash a mod or do anything that does a "updating android" on reboot, it reverts back to the default screen effect and the knock on becomes unreliable. After a deep sleep you can't wake it with a knock most of the time. Strange but saved me a trip verizon hell for a swap.
Wow!!! I can totally confirm that this is working! Thank you so much... I was getting to the point that I didn't really use the knock on feature due to the flakiness of it... Now it works flawlessly!

Make sure the sensor area to the right of the FF camera is clean. If you have a screen protector over it, you might want to pull it off and clean the area really good. If that sensor is blocked or not working, it will do the same thing whether or not you change the screen off settings. Could be a bad sensor and you may need to swap it out.
Tried cleaning it, no luck. Seems like its hw related. Off to vzw I go.

Greenify or any root program that modifys system files has the possibility of triggering the bug. In my personal testing, after you change the screen off to something different after installing Greenify, it stops. I'm guessing the core issue is with the front sensor that disables knock on. A hardware software combination. Strangely even after flashing back to stock doesn't fix the bug. First deep sleep and it will return until you change that setting in screen off.

Nothing seems to fully resolve this. Super annoyed I ever installed Greenify. Ugh.
I'm within my 14 days (I got it on Monday), but I purchased from letstalk (the $26 price mistake deal that lasted a few minutes). Does anybody know if I can just walk into Verizon to switch it out, or do I have to do the mail back, wait 5 days with no phone thing?
thanks
I've only replaced the phones I directly received from Verizon in person. Call Verizon and tell them you needed to swap a phone under the 14 days. They can look at your account and tell you if you can just swap it in person or if you need to return through the reseller.

In theory, Greenify may break such a feature like Knock-on, but its always recoverable. Simply de-greenify the app and manually launch it to restore everything to normal.
Please avoid greenifying any app with background functionality.
PS: Greenify actually never touch any system files.

No, that was just humor.
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?

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.

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.

That was to patch the link sent via messages and when you opened the video it would "harm the system" and if you used hangouts, it would automatically harm it due to hangout opening the video ahead of time for quicker viewing. It was an issue within the core of Android, not the OEM, itself and has been a 'vulnerability' for quite some time but was just exposed not too long ago.
Got the Patch and the 5.1.1 update, good deal.
Please report back the responsiveness and overall feel. I just might make the leap if they got Lolliflop right with this update.

Well it does seem that GPS only works on power saving mode. I like to use GPS only mode in location settings so I set it to that and will leave it alone for a while to see what happens. Is this happening to anyone else?

The GPS location error is definitely sprint, had this problem for years where it would put me at Burbank, CA when I live in Las Vegas, NV. However when travelling to a different area of Vegas, that seemed to put me in Las Vegas. Now when at home it puts me at Dana Point, CA. Lol.
I did a test, had at least 20+ apps running, pressed the recent apps key, and it opened immediately. Usually with that heavy activity, I would be waiting anywhere from 15-30 seconds to pop up. One thing I am waiting to see is if it freezes on me. Had a few instances where apps were making the screen not respond. Seems much faster with the update though.

Had some message come up saying device must restart. No idea what that was all about.

Going to install and try to root. Will post back.
I've been running it for the past few hours. GPS works and the BT audio bug looks to have been fixed. The UI is smooth as glass. Has Sammy/Sprint finally gotten it right?
I tried to root, and phone rebooted but said su binary was missing. Tried routing with su in twrp and bootlooped. Tried reinstalling bof5 and can't go back. Going to install rom through twrp and wait for stock rooted.
Downloading now! In Southern CA.

So you can flash TWRP via Odin right? I would not care too much about not being to flash back to OF5 since I have a phone that lags severely after a few days of running stock OF5. I would just want the ability to flash CM12.1.
SD card Wiped
Did the 5.1.1 and my SD card was mostly wiped. Pics and music gone. Funny thing is, some things are still there such as carbon backup files. I'm not exactly thrilled.
5.1.1 kills cf-auto root... It did the same with the note edge.. Kernel exploit is the only way to root..
Loving the new updage so far. Not laggy at all. Now for the battery test.

I odined stock unrooted OF5 and it's getting the OTA update now. So that works.
Phone feels much snappier. Recent apps menu opens instantly. Camera seems to open a bit faster.
Are we not going to get RAW support like the newer phones are getting? Thats some BS if not.
