I was on bobcat and now x-note. It does happened sometimes but i just ignore it

Are you using Greenify or freezing anything via Titanium Backup?
This happened to me, the culprit was me either freezing or hibernating the "keyguard" app.

As for me i didn't freeze or uninstall any bloatware. Greenify yes. Will disable it and see if reoccur

yes i am on stock.
I don't know, i don't have any apps that might freeze the phone. same apps i used to use before too and phone was working fine. its just since last week this time thing is giving trouble and sometimes clock on the lock screen doesn't even load. it shows empty space where clock usually comes.
I disabled some of the default apps but nothing major ones, just google books and travel and all.

Wierd Screen problem

Suddenly, my phone screen just turns on for 2 seconds, then goes back to sleep
for no apparent reason, (no notifications)
I factory reset it and it still is doing this
Any ideas of what might be wrong?

Same thing happens to me alot. I'm also using widgetlocker but it still does it when disabled.

Weird, I use widget locker as well and have never had an issue like this(not since 1.26).Its most likely an app causing it. Freeze non-stock apps that you have loaded one at a time and see if it stops. I vaguely remember mine doing this way back pre-1.57. Hasn't happened since. In widget locker try checking the (dont allow 3rd party apps to put WL in suspend.) May help on that end.
Edit: Sorry didnt pay attention to your post closely enough. When you say you reset the phone. Do you mean you flashed a clean SBF or just used a backup??

Random Reboots

I've had 2 random reboots today, both while doing absolutely nothing......... if I called into VZW to get a replacement, it would likely be new, right?
Nevermind, called VZW, they said I could just turn it in for a new phone within the 14 days. Yay.
Do you have chrome beta installed?

Nope, just standard Chrome as factory installed.
Going to go pick up another unit later today. Wondering if there are any other programs that screw this phone up......

NiLS? I had several reboots with that app. Removed it and no reboots for the last two days.

What's NiLS? I returned it and got a brand new replacement. The new one seems a bit more snappier and no reboots yet. I headed off the automatic re-installation of all my backed up apps by turning off mobile data shortly after I got it. Once I got errors on all of them I manually added the apps I really needed.
Seems like it worked... lopped Nova launcher on it and a cool icon pack... all is cool.

It's a app from Play Store. Obviously, something else caused reboots for you. I'm glad that everything worked out great for you.

I had the same problem today. It happened when I got a text. It rebooted like 3 times one after another. Then it just stopped. Weird.....
Anyone any ideas? I have the T-Mobile version. NOT ROOTED
another update
ok so maybe some good news here. i've been testing all day, locking/unlocking my phone and some normal random things to simulate activity. i have had zero reboot issues since i did a factory reset and zero reboots since i updated the gmail app.
HOWEVER.... the very minute i added the gmail widget to the locks creen i noticed that the widget said it was loading but didn't finish. my screen locked itself (as it should) because i wasn't touching it. So I double tapped the screen, scrolled to the gmail widget and it still said it was loading... then I unlocked it and BAM, rebooted.
after the phone rebooted i went to look at the gmail widget on my lockscreen before unlocking. everything is loaded. then when i tried to unlock the phone (im using a pattern unlock BTW) it rebooted again. Just now I removed the gmail widget from the lock screen and now I can get into my phone.
I hope this helps everyone else who is having the unlock reboot issue.
I just got LG G2 yesterday from Vodafone and today it just restarted 3 time and i think every time animation was 2 times i don't know why and i am sure the restarting started after i added gmail widget on Lock screen but now i removed the widget and now i am waiting can someone suggest a simple and permanent solution...plz

[Q] My magazine notification issue

Hi everyone,
I've been running my Note 3 with Nova Prime for the last week now and it's been great. I was able to get rid of the swipe up gesture to open My magazine. However, recently (in the last 24 hrs or so) I am randomly getting a popup notification "Unfortunately. My Magazine Here and Now has Stopped". As far as I can tell, I've gotten about 5 times now. I just press okay and it goes away, but its a little annoying because it never did this. I've tried clearing cache, restarting the phone, but it keeps coming back.
Is anyone having this issue? Did I perhaps change a setting that I shouldn't have? Or, did my phone get OTA update that I didn't know about?
Sorry, new to Android.
Thanks in advance.

Yes, this is happening to mine too. I'm also running Nova so I wonder if that has something to do with the error.

+1 for getting this error. I am running nova but the error pops up while browsing the gallery and also in a few apps. It makes the phone unresponsive for about 5 sec and then I get the notification.
I am getting this error message as well... anybody found solution to fix this? at least I would like to know what is causing this issue...
Thanks in advance!
Having the same issue
I am having the same issue as well. Can't even uninstall or disable that app.
It's start to happening to me as well and it's annoying. I never root my phone or anything. How to fix this or completely remove it? Thanks
My phone also locks up for a few seconds before it displays the notification. I getting annoying too as is happening about 4-5 times a day now while in different apps. Last night or was in waze and this morning it was in calendar.
I'm thinking of restoring my phone but I really don't want to.

Having Same Issue
I have cleared the cache and force stopped the app and still get the notification . Just started a few days ago.
I too have tried to narrow down the issue in application manager, with no luck. Really frustrating!
The solution
Uninstall FlipBoard. This worked for me. If Flip Board cannot be uninstalled, the remove the latest update.

I uninstalled FlipBoard and the error continued, it happens to me about 2 times per hour. Then the next time I rebooted my Note3, Flipboard updated itself again.
I'm not exactly sure why but I haven't had the issue for about a day now. Fingers crossed.

Same issue here. This is the crap that annoys the hell outta me. Why cant I remove this or disable it at the least. Flipboard cant be uninstalled. I removed the latest updates still the same issue. Turn off auto updating will stop the app from auto updating. Ive disabled auto updates for now, not confident that will cure the issue...
I'm having this issue as well. It's weird that it's happening even when launch the dialer to call someone. It freezes for around 5 seconds, and displays the error message.
Me too

So after being error-free for about 4 days, it's back. I've gotten the error four times already today, three of them while running waze on my way to work. Doesn't really make sense since I wasn't even handling the phone at the time.
Has anybody tried rooting their phone and removing all the magazine stuff with titanium backup?

Same problem here...new to Android
Hello. I am having the same problem here as well. I have only download a few things before I started having this crash. In fact, my phone seem to be pretty unstable with numerous things crashing, including the camera app, as well as some other camera apps. I don't really think I have installed too much, or anything crazy, but then I am just starting with Andoid, so not really sure. Just came from iPhone. Want to root...just not sure what I am doing yet. But if it will help get rid of this problem, I am game...but this is pretty uncool. Will I loose my S Pen Air Command on my Note 3? I have read conflicting reports.
Thanks!!
If anybody has any new developments, please post.
Thanks!!
I found something that works
If you open up that magazine app by swiping up, then click on the 3 lines, then uncheck every thing except social.
That worked for me!

[Q] Random unresponsive home and lock button

Hi,
I am having some serious trouble with my note 3.
The basics of the problem are that the lock button seems to lock the screen but once pressed again it shows whatever was on the screen before, not the lock screen!? Holding the lock button does not come up with the turn off/reset options.
Another odd thing that happens along with this is that any application that is opened or closed the screen flashes black before opening up.
Along with this I have found that the alot of the native apps, including phone, contacts and most annoyingly, CLOCK, crash also. Making me late for work and rendering the phone useless unless I do a battery pull.
I will note that the most odd thing is that I contacted our business contract guy who who i expected to tell me to do a soft reset, told me that the supplier would swap out the phone?! That was last week and the new handset is showing early signs of the same thing.
Neither phones are rooted and I have not installed any unknown sources on the new handset to be sure it wasnt an outside source?!
Any help would be appreciated.

But why would the problem occur on two separate brand new devices?
because you have the same app on both phones :highfive:

Well some of my apps install straight onto the phone.
Do you think I should remove as many as possible and try then?
Same exact issue here

I am having this same exact issue. First happened when I installed a SanDisk Ultra CLASS 10. I thought the card was causing me compatibility issues so I returned it to amazon. This was just a few days ago. The only thing that worked to fix this issue was to remove the battery.
On the way to work today I suddenly couldn't play any music downloaded from Google music to my device. However, I could stream music that was not downloaded to my device. I also couldn't view any pictures in my picture gallery. I tried rebooting the phone and guess what -- I got the same exact issue as the original post above.
I wasn't going to mess with my phone while driving so I made up my mind that I was going to return it to verizon tomorrow. About an hour into work I picked up my phone and it gave me the onscreen instructions to swipe up to get flip board -- same instructions it gives you after a reboot. I then tried playing the same music that wouldn't play before and it played. I tried viewing pictures in the gallery that were inviewable before and they were now viewable.
I'd like to know what is going on too. I can't just give up to the fact that my phone doesn't want to work at certain times of the day so I just have to give it an hour.

The best thing would be to remove all non-factory apps. But yes, start by removing as many of them as possible.
(If that doesn't work, do a factory reset and cache wipe through the recovery menu, and don't restore a single app. (I'm not talking abouy the bloatware, we all have those.))
If there are no problems at that point, add back your apps one by one. (no restoring anything, make sure they are clean installs.)
Eventually you should run into whatever app is causing the issue.

I reset the system to factory settings and started arranging only the installed apps and widgets and I got the same lock screen issues.
This time the phone wouldn't go to the lock screen but it would give me the option to restart or shut down. I set it aside again and when I picked it up a few later it showed me the home screen wwith instructions on how to access flipboard -- as if it was reset! I have a warranty on mine so I'm gonna return it to verizon tomorrow or friday.

"unlock s-health" notification

Hi,
I have a s5 with stock samsung root (anj1) and root. Yesterday i set up s-health but now, from time to time or at least every time i reboot the phone, i get the notification "unlock s-health". Anyone knows what this is or how to fix it?
It's annoying because the phone just starts buzzing with the notification out of no where. The notification goes away right after it shows on the status bar and i can open the app with no problems and have updated it to the latest version.
Thanks!
I'm experiencing the same issue after updating the app yesterday.
Do you have root also? I updated the app yesterday also. It probably due to root
Same here.. and I am rooted.
I ended up removing my Samsung account once and for all and simply restored my older S Health titanium backup and got at least some of my old data back..

I had the same problems I had advanced task killer and had to uncheck s health
In advanced task killer app
It actually hasn't been bothering me ever since i posted this, but then again i haven't turned off/on the phone. But s-health still works and doesn't give that warning besides after boot (at least for now)
Have you set a password for s-healt and you have pedometer data in lockscreen? I'm rooted and I use s-healt
If set a password I can't see the pedometer data in lockscreen and I see that notification, after removing password no more notitification.
I didn't set password for s-health, only an unlock pattern for the lockscreen but i used to have that before. I do have shealth on the lock screen and the homescreen widget and they keep counting the steps.
I didn't use to have this notification after booting up before with root, only now with the update
I get it constantly on my note 4
My Note 4 (T-Mobile SM910T) just updated S-Health and I am now seeing this notification as well.
Just tossing it out there for others so we can track this and find a solution (if it is a problem). S-Health still seems to function fine and I am using the pedometer lock screen widget.
I have a note 4. Rooted with stock samsung rom. Using the widget on the home screen and getting these constantly since the last update. Doing my head in as the notifications keep popping up on my gear s all the time.
maybe a fix?
Been noticing this on my rooted i9500 loaded with Note 4 beta 1 rom. I do not need to restart my phone for the notification to appear but i haven't seen the notification ever since i disabled Weather and Pedometer from the Lock screen. Hope this helps.
I'm getting the same notification. It's at random and its pissing me off.
Rooted stock rom on sgn4
Tapped via TapaCrap on my SGN4
Me too, sprint s5, rooted. I probably get it 30 times a day, Samsung needs to fix it, because it didn't happen until s-health did an auto update. Really annoying
Me too , rooted my note4 , updated my shealth and the notification is all the time , aftre the boot and also all the time when my phone on the table at work.
Just updated my s5 to 5.0, so far no annoying notification. Could be an incompatibility issue with older versions on Android.
I still get it most of the time when i reboot(there were a few times i didnt). If you clear it from the notifications and open s health once, it shouldnt bother you anymore. Still, samsung should fix this or maybe they want because it seems to be hapening in rooted phones
Just adding to the list of affected devices
Rooted TMOUS Note Edge
Same problem
Edit: just asked my buddy who also has a note edge, but is not rooted and he does not have this issue
I was having the same issue, I installed "global s heath" module using Xposed Installer and I'm no longer getting the pop up. I've even rebooted several times just to make sure. Hope this helps!
