[Q] What cause the camera to lag?

Hi, I just got my wife a new sprint galaxy s4. this is day 2 of usage and every time she wants the camera it will lag to open about 1 minute before she can use it. does anyone had this problem and know how can it be corrected?
Thanks.

Have you tried a hard reset? That is the very first thing I do when I get a new phone. ...

Try to upgrade to the latest firmware mf9 if you haven't done so already. And see if that helps.

Not getting text messages

For some reason it seems I can't get text messages. I could make calls, send text messages, go on 3g and 4g lte and I could even send SMS. But whenever someone texts me I can't receive it.
I have tried updating my prl and profile even that won't fix it. I could really use some advice....

Other than what you stated that you have already tried...I dont have a clue. Sprint could be in the process of upgrading towers in your area which typically does wreck all kinds of havoc. Call customer care and check if that should be the case. If not, try clearing cache for messaging.

This has been happening for more than two weeks. And my HTC one on the same network can receive texts just fine. Since i'm rooted i've been switching to different roms to see if I could finally relieve texts. I went from Sacs custom rom to CM 10.2 and I just flashed stock rooted MF9 but I still cant receive texts. I'm thinking about restoring back to stock to check if text's work. Any suggestions?

Call Sprint and ask them to re-provision/activate your phone. This resets the recognition of your phone to the neighbouring Sprint towers.
You might want to flash back to a stock ROM before doing so.. Just in case they ask you to do something on your end.

Sounds like it is time for a call to Sprint and make them fix it. What I would do if not rooted.

Whats wven more messed up is I have had 3 replacement phones and everyone has this problem i wonder if because the network is so unstable in my area right now if that could cause this to happen?

If your network was unstable you wouldnt be able to get any signal at all but it wouldnt make your phone reboot. Have you tried factory reseting your phone??

Whatever is going on its in the kernel i flashed the MDB kernel and everything is working perfectly the only problem im having know is my phone says custom software.

Dude you ain't the only one. The MF9 update has been a major pain the @$$ for a lottt of people. I wonder if Sprint is working on a new update. Hopefully push it out before the end of September. Although I am really liking MF9, I am probably in the minority. My device is smooth as hell and great battery life. Just yesterday I went 20hrs with 3hrs of on screen time!

Im having a similar problem. Random reboots when data is connected. I first thought it was the connection in my area that was causing the problem to (NV just started in Cleveland) until I encountered reboots while on WiFi. It doesn't matter what app I'm using as long is it uses the internet connection my phone may freeze vibrate two to three times then reboot. I even reapplied the MF9 update and the same problem exist.
I'm completely stock!
Thank You Based God!

We must be lucky. I keep reading about all these issues, but MF9 had been awesome for me. Not a single problem, and definitely much better than MDL.

+1 on that. Been on MF9 stock rooted since I got the phone a couple weeks ago and all has been well. I wonder if it could be a hardware issue mixed with something thats in the MF9 update. Sound crazy to anyone?

Yeah it looks like it is for sure the MF9 kernel I flashed mdl kernel and everything is good on that kernel. As soon as I odin mf9 and connect to data it happens again thanks for all the responses

Check your source for the MF9 kernel you have and try downloading and installing a different one.

Thank You Based God!

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

Phone call problems.

Hey all I was just wondering if anyone is having problems with receiving calls. It seems to happen more and more lately. What happens is the phone rings and I answer it but I can't hear them and they can't hear me. The phone then disconnects. It doesn't matter where I am so I don't think it's a phone network problem. I travel all over the place as I'm a truck driver. It seems to happen more when connected to a Bluetooth device but now it's starting to happen when not.
I'm am rooted and at present running on stock. It doesn't matter if I'm on stock or a custom ROM it does the same thing. I'm really regretting getting this phone and ready to go back to my DROID RAZR MAXX HD. I like the phone its blazing fast but it has issues which I've asked about before. I bought this phone on the Edge plan and did line swapping to keep unlimited data. But I'm ready to throw it in the garbage or sell it real cheap. Or starting all over and leaving it unrooted and see what happens. Really wanted root so I could tether when ever I want. Any suggestions?

Looks like I'm going back to my Motorola and throwing this in the trash with the tech support and replacement device issues. This will be the last Samsung device I buy.

RAZR is a great phone. Sorry you had issues with the Note. Did you see this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2680962

Yes exactly one of the horror stories I'm talking about

Well I Odin back to stock and still having the same problems. I'm headed to Verizon today to see what they say. Hopefully I get lucky and don't get a bum replacement device.

I sold my note 3 back in January because of connectivity and phone quality issues ... been really missing the spen, multiwindow and sceen size as of late. Was thinking about coming back to the N3 but then I see stuff like this and remember why I left [emoji20]
May grab a note 2 instead ...
