S view window randomly appears when using the phone - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I am facing a strange issue for the past few days. The S view randomly flashes for a second or so whenever I am using the phone.
It also happens when the phone is on my desk without even touching it. Any ideas to solve this?
I don't use a S View cover.

Maybe some background process keeping it alive? just installed some new program?
Have you condisered root the device and put a custom rom..? I haven't had that issue it seems to be a software issue, maybe give a custom rom a try. Or factory reset the device.

Full Wipe
Umm you have to do a full wipe when you install a rom and I have installed multiple. Happens very seldom with custom roms but would happen almost once a day new out of the box.

Before you flashed mint jelly. You must do a complete wipe, and that's a att release rom, try using the kernel it came with.
good luck

Have you just tried using the Samsung multi windows manager app? Or is this the same one you're talking about

Ive been using the same app for my car headunit full mirroring and ran into some strange problems as well. I removed the apps one by one from multiwindow until I found the problem app. Mine happened to be Pandora. I don't know why this happens but it solved the problem. Hope this helps.

[Q] Does opening the Camera App result in a black screen and/or freeze your phone?

Does opening the Camera App result in a black screen and/or freeze your phone?
Wondering if this is just an issue with my phone or some kind of bug with this phone?
This happens to me 1-2 times a week.
My camera has been acting weird since updating

That is strange. Maybe you should root it and put a rom on it I have never had that issue

I am on MJE and do not have any issues with my stock camera. I am also completely stock. Maybe trying a reboot will help

I am still on stock MJE and the camera is working fine. No other issues to report

I cleared the camera apps cache and it has not happened since.

Strange S4 behavior

My S4 is acting crazy lately. Seemingly randomly several download icons show up in my notification area. And it's old downloads that have been moved or deleted. Any idea what's going on? Thanks.
are you rooted with a custom recovery/rom
what's your build
what have you done to fix it
I'm rooted with stock and safestrap. It's 4.3 mk2. And since I have no idea what's going on I've done nothing to try to fix it.

Still looking for help with this one. It used to happen just once in a while but now it's like this almost all the time. Very annoying.

It may be time to Odin flash and start clean.

Thanks for the replies but my problem has gone away, per se. I ended up accidentally knocking the S4 off my desk at work and cracked the screen and screwed up the display. Now I have a S5 Active. Thanks again.
