I got my s4 a couple of days a go with 4.2 and everything is smooth, then yesterday i updated to 4.4 and everything is also okay after a couple of hours everything becomes laggy, cant even open any app, can go to home screen, just pure lag. Anyone else experiencing this? also I'm using i9505.
welcome to Android.
try to wipe data/factory reset & cache
this would fix the problem
Just restart ur phone and wipe cache and dalvik cache.

But I'm just on stock and not yet rooted, the only solution i found is restarting the phone, then after a while becomes so laggy again. any permanent fix for this?

Hi guys ino this problems has been posted before bui cant find the answers none of them work.
Basically this is note my phone its my grandads i updated the Firmware from Gingerbread to ICS last week and when people phone him this process stops. Now ive tried going into reject messages settings and having less then 5 and it does nit work. The phone is NOT rooted and will not be as I don't want to screw upp their warenty.
I would normally wipe permissions but I cant since CWM is not installed.
I also cant replace phone apk as I need Root access.
Please any help would be great.
Firmware version. : PDA:LQ2 /PHONE:LPT / CSC:LP4 (CPW)
Stock ICS 4.0.3 ROM
Guess first thing to try would be to wipe cache and data on the dialler app.
Every time ive had this problem though, the only tying thats worked has been a factory reset. Id watch out doing this on an ics rom though, samsung have now admitted the emmc issue and are working on stable kernels but they will probably be out a month or so.
Alternatively you may be able to use an alternative dialler from the play store.

Apologies, i think you'd need to be rooted to install an alternative dialler.

Wiping/factory reset will do the trick, I was having the same problem, coming from pre rooted Gingerbread to flashing non rooted stock ROM ICS through PC Odin.
After wiping problem no more force close on phone.

i wouldnt advise a factory reset with all the info we now know,would you like to be responsible for his bricked phone
i would wait til your in a position to install root safely and use a safe kernel then wipe
What I meant was a wipe after stock ROM was flashed through Odin, doesn't that remove CWM? It IS safe to do factory reset without CWM installed is it? And if you can't use your phone without well, having com.android.phone running and you do just a factorey reset it needs to go back to Samsung anyway. Hard resetting your phone doesn't seem to break warranty to me, does it?
Any advise will be appreciated, I'm still trying to figure out what to do and how to root ICS.
Thanks.
Do NOT factory reset in ICS as it could initiate the superbrick. Only wipe in CM9 or gingerbread.
Ok. Thanks. Already did it though . I was lucky to not brick the damn thing
Rolling back to Gingerbread doesn´t work, unfortunately, I get errors/fc on at least 3 important processes.
Edit: Well, I managed to get Gingerbread working again after all; flashed back to GB through PC Odin and then do a full wipe/factory restore.
wipe cache and dalvik cache will do the trick.
Guys I said that I do NOT have CWM installed nor am i rooted so little of these options will work. But I factory reset it went into reset area of setting and restored to stock and everything works fines now so THANK you also another note my granny's Galaxy s3 had the same problem after fixing the Galaxy note about 3 days after had to reset hers as well and its fine now. I wondered if it could be because i brought both phones from Carphonewarehouse ?
Thanks for your help

Have you tried rebooting the phone? Or wiped cache in recovery. Dalvik is imo still more stable and faster then ART atm.

I have tried rebooting and safe mode...
then I wanted to try factory reset but excidently got into download mod insted...I tool the chance of a brick and took the battery out while in download mode(since I didnt have files to burn via odin) and the phone just turned on using delvik and didnt show any problem...so the issue is solved,,,I have no idea how and why but it is...

I had ill effects when switching myself, found that best way to test it was to switch it to ART right after a hard reset or flashing stock via odin. Im sure just wiping cache and dalvik would have fixed it, but i was returning the phone for USB port issues anyhow so i flashed back to stock. not sure if clearing the android files on the internal storage or the cache/dalvik being wiped fixed it, but it ran find after that with no FC's etc. As stated though, i havent really noticed much if any improvement. Still too soon in its infancy to probably see much from it yet lol.
Good luck!
Please be kind! My first time posting here, i searched and found nothing.
I updated my unrooted tmobile Note 3 yesterday. Now whenever i press the back button after trying to type something (keyboard is visable, i change my mind and back out of it), the keyboard freezes and often the whole phone. Sometimes as little as 30 seconds sometimes well over a minute and must be rebooted. Can not force close program i am using until phone stops lagging. Pressing back button again causes longer freezing. My phone is useless.
Any suggestions?Thanks ahead of time, and happy Thanksgiving!
Welcome to XDA
The general first step is that if you experience problems after an update, do a factory reset.

Yes should have mentioned I've reset phone and factory reset as well. For now I've downloaded an alternate keyboard that is working. Think that is my only option for now. Thanks, though!

Depends, there are several methods of resetting. Caches have a tendency to stick around if you factory reset through the regular menu, for instance.
Another option would be to reflash the firmware.

Where did you find this update, and is it official? The newest firmware that Sammobile shows for T-Mobile is 4.4.2 NF9.

Yes it's an official download. 4.4.4 was supposedly released on the 20th. I just used the "check for updates" on my phone(sorry husband is the phone guru with all his obsession of phone mods) I'm trying to find how to clear the cache on my keyboard tho
Ok I guess I'm wrong. It's not a. 4.4.4, update it's just an update in general. I will edit title
Hi, N4 of my brother after upgrade to 4.4.3 got strange random reboots, I'v searched for long time on google and here but seams an isolated case.
I'v flased latest 5.0.1 stock, and got reboots too, I'v installed kernel hellscore, and same issues, I think that may be high voltage, so I'v UV abount before -100000 and after -75000, but no way, that phone after 4.4.3 ota got random reboots........
Any idea please?

Did you do it from the stock recovery?
If yes, then you might be facing a hardware issue, which is beyond our reach here. I would recommend going to a service in this case.
Ok Tnx
Hi
I just got this phone for my wife and all is well, but I have heard that the Lollipop update is quite bugged.
We are experiencing random reboots.. With twenty or thirty minutes interval...
Is the random reboots a known problem for lollipop or is it just this phone being a candidate for repairs?
Any other bugs I should be worrying about?
All best and thanks in advance..
Did you factory reset the phone yet? Upgrading to Lollipop from Kitkat leaves rubbish files behind that a factory reset fixes, myself included have reset and it has fixed just about everything
I'm running Lollipop and never had any random reboots. Its running very smooth here. If you updated from kitkat perform a factory reset after update.

Hi
It is the G900F nordic...
And The battery drain is insane...
What I would do; reflash the actual Rom via Odin.
If this doesnt work: downgrade to KitKat and back to lollipop again.
Afterwords everything should be fine. Dont forget to wipe after every flashing process.
