Seriously, all the 4.3 issues i had with my s4 were fixed by the indian mj9 firmware.

phone hangs from time to time and sometimes when i use camera phone freezes totally.
i've to pull out the baterry and restart.
just got the s4 gti9505 and starting to regret it.

No real issue's for me, but i've been using only custom roms.
The correct firmware does help.

Totally happy with my S4. Have had it from May and never had a single issue or FC.
With root and all bloatware frozen, I can easily do a full day with 4-5 hours screen time.
So I'm in no hurry for any 4.3 or 4.4 update whatever ... You know "Don't fix it if it's working" :victory:

That's true.
I installed a complete new firmware. Working fine now.
Had a problem with my sd card ,but seems that my sd card was defect

Random reboots - GT-I9505, Help`?

Hi, i've got my hands on a Galaxy S4 GT-I9505 running 4.2.2 MH6. Im updating it at the moment. but it reboots atleast 2 to 3 times a day. for no reason? it's not modded but AVG is installed. could that be the problem?

Can you make screenshots about your app launcher and sys info? Looks like some strange apps led to that. Or you can try to flash a Perseus kernel(or Adam,up to u).

Updated it to 4.3 but the problems are still there, it's under warranty. i noticed now that there was another problem. Network signal goes off then after some seconds it reboots as well. Should i turn it in again? it was just in for screen replacement! problems started after the screen was replaced! no problems before! it's a freind of mine that has this phone! and no he isn't going to mod his phone.

Anyone?

As already mentioned in other threads it's most likely that's the battery that needs to be changed due to a series of bad batteries that was shipped with the galaxy S4.
try it out with another battery and your problem will be solved

episodes of screen unresponsiveness after updating to kitkat

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.

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.

If your phone isnt hanging up and freezing, that gives me hope. I'll gsm reset, clear the cache and then flash.

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.
It is annoying setting up the phone like new lol. I'll update the post as to if I have moments of freezing or the screen becoming unresponsive.

Cheers mate..do tell me how the battery is..if its good I might flash Russian as well ,currently have but flashed

Had this problem too, as well as lots of lag. Reflashed and did a factory reset. Took care of both.

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.
Sent from my SM-N900 using xda app-developers app

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

I just experienced another moment of unresponsiveness using the google search box within the chrome app running DNC4 :/ Going to try the latest Russian KitKat

Phone will no longer rotate

Hey guys. I hate when I'm not able to figure things out on my own, but this one has me beat.
I recently discovered that my auto rotation has stopped working, I was on the latest AEONFLEX, and I've tried switching to CM11, and also a fresh install, with a system wipe, of AEONFLEX.
It was completely random when it sopped working, and there hasn't been any drops or anything like that, I haven't even had a case on the phone.
I hope someone has had this issue before, because I DEFINITELY do not want to have to go through LG to get it repaired if it were something internal.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Does tilting work in games?

EDIT: no, no tilting in angry birds GO.
That's not good

Did you flash back to stock to see if it still persist?

Try flash different mode.
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk

I hadn't tried stock yet, but flashing a new modem worked. Like what even? How can a modem effect a sensor like that? I had flashed the kit kat modem and apparently that messed it up.
Its fixed now though. Thanks a ton!!! I thought I was going to be sending this thing to LG
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda app-developers app

Looks like you fixed it but sometimes its a new launcher so check settings

Nice!
Glad you were able to save your phone
Might have been just a problem of cache or something that was cleaned when you flashed the modem!
Yet it worked, so problem "solved" haha

Actually this happened to me too. I created a flashable zip to flash the new kit kat modem on my CM11 install. I cleared dalvik and cache, flashed the modem, rebooted and there is no auto rotate. Flashed the old modem back and auto rotate worked?? I don't get how flashing the modem disables auto rotate.
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Modem might carry gyro code.

I had this happen and my fix was disabling auto rotate, running the motion sensor calibration on a flat surface and then re-enabling auto rotate again. Haven't had any issue since.

For some reason I don't have the option to calibrate the motion sensor on CM11?
Any other apps i can try to calibrate the sensor?

Try to change your battery and see whether it's still overheats.

I wanted to do that really, but i wanted someone else to tell me so i would not be a wierdo, you really think that would work?

I have 2 batteries. One gave me overheats, even though the battery itself is not bulged.
One totally no issues at all.
Same phone, same ROM, same setup, same etc.
You can give it a try. But then again, I might be wrong.
Technical issues can arises from a lot of factors anyway.

I will try, thank you so much for your reply

Try the old modem, the one you didn't have any issues. Otherwise it's samsung's crappy update.

Can i go back to that modem?? No risk?? I changed the csc, changed the sim, changed the carrier, changed 3 batteries... still blowing fire, 80c om the cpu... many times when i use my data plan
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app

The only risk is signal issues.

So because of the modem i have the heating problems??

It may also the update.

What?
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Free mobile app

I may also be related to the lollipop update. Since you did mention that it didn't happen on kitkat. It only started happening since moving to lollipop. So it may also be the update. Go back to kitkat or change to a custom rom and see if it helps.

I tried all, just all custom roms with lolli
