Not sure anyone else has this issue.... At times i'll get an email and the vibration will not stop until i hit the end button. This can go on until the battery drains. Anyone else have this issue ?? Any fix ?
That has been the ONLY issue Ive had with my HD2. tagging to look for answer also.
maybe your phone really wants you to see the email
i have the same issue with text and emails
Stock or custom ROM's? Give us some info please.
I had this issue come up with a custom ROM about 2 years ago, had a bad download.
If you are running stock do a hard reset.
If you have a reg editor do a scan looking for "duration" I can't remember the exact location but there is a setting that tells the phone how long to vibrate.
Did anyone find a solution for this? I have tried the stock and my own custom rom, done many hard resets, and I still have this problem. I think its hardware related, but I'm not sure...any updates?
It happened to me frequently on the newest stock ROM. I don't know whether it'll happen on this custom ROM.

I'm running the stock ROM 2.13, nothing else on there phone other than some of the basic fixes. I have done a hard reset more than 3 times and the issue is still there.
recently my trophy is behaving strangely. the hardware buttons stop to respond after several hours after reboot. The automatic screen lock then doesn't work anymore but all apps are. I have hard reset the phone but it keeps behaving like this. The only way to recover is to take the battery out and replace, then the phone starts and the time is totally incorrect, it appears to be back to the prevïous "crash".
can anyone help? thanks for reading!
Have you tired a factory reset? (If this is GSM Trophy, it should be okay to do. CDMA Verizon Trophy... flash back to stock first).
yes
Hi
yes i tried a factory reset but didnt help. I found out that if I keep the wifi off the phone is fine but after wifi is switched on the phone freezes after heavy use or few hours.
If anyone has any ideas...
Has your phone been updated via Zune to the newest software? I'm guessing this is a hardware issue though.
well.... yesterday i read about a way to force the tango updte through zune. I tried it and it worked. Zune updated my phone in 2 steps. I immediately turned wifi on and it has been stable (touch wood so far.... Looks like some bit went missing
Yeah, I can't really offer any advice other then to try restoring the backup Zune made before you made the update. If it was working fine before forcing the update, I'd say stick with that for now.
Am I understanding correctly that your phone was fine before the update?
If you can't restore your Zune update, you may need to flash a new stock rom to fix the problem (good-by data).
What carrier are you using for your Spark? Football's rom thread in the dev forum may have a rom you can use.
This is actualy a dual question because I don't know if the two are related. But one problem came up after solving the other.
My wife and I both have a Galaxy S4 i9505. We are Dutch and on the Vodafone network I rooted mine but hers is untouched. Recently after the update I began to experience a bootloop. I thought it was related to the rooting. Keep in mind I didn't flash another rom. Just rooted my S4. The flashing comes maybe later. :silly:
So I did a complete factory reset and much to my surprise I found out in Samsung KIES that the use of my internal memory decreased very much. After reset and new install of all my apps ( and placed them as much as I could on the sd card as before) I had a total use of 1.68 GB from the 9 I got. Before the update I used almost 6 GB of 9 GB
The bootloop however was stopped. And everything works fine. Except acalendar but to that point I will come later on.
Recently my wifes S4 started bootlooping. She also had the update a while ago. Ther only option I could think of was a factory reset. I went on doing that and again all works fine. Exept...... acalendar offcourse
So my questions are:
Has anyone experienced the bootloop after the update?
And could the update causing acalendar to stop functioning.
The problem with acalendar is that the 4x4 widget won't stick to the homescreen. I tried everything but whatever I do, if I hit OK or the return button the screen comes up empty and no widget. The app itsel;f works and the app icon will attach to the homescreen. But I don't want the app icon I want the widget.
can anyone help plz. I allready posted a question on the developers website but so far no comment.

Just got a reply from the developers. Ok time off I can imagine... but 1 1/2 month vacation???? And ALL of there developers on vacation? Ths makes the app less appealing
QUOTE.......Hi, this is an automatic out-of-office reply. We are sorry, but also developers need some vacation once in a while, thus for deeper technical problems you'll have to wait till mid-November for me to get back to you. For less technical issues Tapir Apps support will get back to you.......
Just got a rply from Tapir support:
Try uninstall and reinstall it... maybe that helps... deuheuuu
Do you have acalendar installed on your sd? Because then that will probably cause those problems.
If so, then I think that also caused the bootloops.

Mine was installed on the SD card.. My wifes was not..... still bootloop
tnx 4 reply
Do you use an app or script for moving your apps to the SD? I still think that moving the apps to the SD is causing the bootloops. Based on your information, that is my conclusion. Maybe it was not caused by Acalendar but some other app.
For the problem with Acalendar you should stay in contact with the developers and hope they will fix it. Or you can try to flash a custom rom and hope it will work on those roms.
tnx 4 the reply,
the S4 came with the option to move apps to the sd card after the update. So no external script used. I fixed my problem with aCalendar. I made a backup in Samsung Kies so I reverted aCalender back to my S4 and that worked. But my wife doensn't have the backup. Tomorrow I will try though toput aCalendar back using my own backup. Still finding it strange though...

I recently updated my Galaxy S4 (i9500) to Android 4.3 [MJ5] using Kies. The phone is completly stock and non-rooted. After the update, I'm unable to pull down notification bar. However, after I restart the device, it works well for some time and then again refuses to be pulled down.
Has anyone else experienced the same problem? I have lot of data on the device that will be difficult to restore and hence and donot want to format the phone. Any suggestions/solutions that might resolve the problem?
Also, after the 4.3 update, when I check for OTA, a popup shows saying "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available." Pulling out and reinserting SD card didn't solve the issue.
Same problem. .. No solution yet.

I am going mentally insane trying to figure this out. I have refreshed and wiped my phone 5 times for the same issue, but to nothing good. The notification bar simply wouldn't want to respond.
What's getting to my nerves is that in one of my experiments with solving this issue, I kept my phone as stock with no third party apps, and still faced the issue. I kept knox uninstalled thinking that's what is causing the issue, but that's didn't help. I did lots of these kind of attempts, but to no avail. I'm concluding that is a serious Bug that Samsung is not going to address to soon. And we're simply screwed until.
Same problem.. DEAL BREAKER
I am facing the same problem after update to 4.3 Andrew this is a deal breaker if Samsung does not fix immediately. Thinking of rooting Andrew moving to cyanogen mod beta.. This is crazy. Nobody tested this for sure.
4.3 official update notification panel drop down problem
I have same problem with this update.can anybody solve this problem ?

Is your device status showing as "CUSTOM" or "ORIGINAL"?
figured out temporary solution
After a lot of playing around, I seem to know what's causing the problem. It's the Phone (Dialer) application that is creating an issue.
when the problem arises again, try making a call, and while the call is being placed, pull down the notification bar....It begins working.
obv I Ousby this is no permanent solution, but will help you from needing to restart.
If anyone with deeper knowledge can PLEASE look at what from the inside is causing it, and how can we make a permanent fix, much appreciated.
let me know if it works for you, the temp fix.

[/QUOTE=arpit88;46809031]Is your device status showing as "CUSTOM" or "ORIGINAL"?[/QUOTE]
Mine says official, for you, I'd suggesting finding the correct 4.3 version with the correct region for your i9500 / i9505, and redo the firmware. Download the firmware off Sammobile, and use Odin 1.85 whilst your phone is in download mode. If you don't know any of these terms used, Google it. It'll be helpful.
Basically, the notification bar problem and device modified problem are separate issues.
Did u install the indian firmware or the unknown one?
yes boys same issue here after 4.3 installed
also my notification bar when its stacked works when you try it on a call but its a temporary solution. mine is official also. anybody find a permanent solution? should we again root 4.3 on 4.3? I think it must be that the 4.3 was installed over 4.2.2 maybe if we make hard reset it will be fixed?
It's the Indian firmware, that I downloaded using Kies but still it started showing as "custom".
I took the phone to samsung care, they said Official 4.3 isn't released for s4 in India yet. Lolz. However, then one of there geeky employees reinstalled the 4.3 update and now my both issues have been fixed. Notification bar is now working perfectly fine and Device status is now Official.
official 4.3 also problem task bar
mine is official because in germany 4.3 is released on samsungs update and my phone is from germany. sould I take it to samsung service and they reinstalling again 4.3 is finally fixed?

I got an ota update xxuemj8 just now that seemingly has solved the problem. My test so far hasn't given complaints, but.let's see what's the situation in long term.
Indian version i9500 currently updated from xxuemj5 to xxuemj8
Should solve all your problems too if you refresh your phone with Odin. Meaning reinstall from fresh by downloading from sammobile and.installing.through Odin
UPDATE XXUEMJ8 doesnt help
Update: XXUEMJ8 doesnt solve any problem. The bug still exists, notification bar stops working.
Also, another issue is that under Settings > Battery, even if Wi-Fi is switched off, the wifi blue bar shows full all the time as if it were ON.
This confuses me to if this is only a software bug in displaying the battery status of settings where wifi is truly off, and it thinks it is on.
OR
Wifi remains on throughout, and switching it off in the software doesnt actually switch it off, eventually taking more battery.

Android 4.3 Update
I DEFINITELY AGREE with the earlier post by Kish0007. The bug is related to the PHONE (Dialer) App. The problem always occurs after receiving a phone call.
I changed from German Android 4.3 to Unknown Android 4.3 as posted on Sammobile hoping for the problem to disappear. But it did not !

The possible solution is to format your phone after installing 4.3 upgrade.
Goto Hard reset by pressing your Volume Key+Power key+Home Key......
Then goto Wipe data/Factory reset.........Don't worry your android Upgrade will not be reset, it will be as it is (4.3)....just it will format your data
and cache.
Do not forget to take backup of apps and your other data......!!
It worked for me & hope it will work for you as well........!!
I try format several times but problem still exist
update the firmware before format.
After upgrading your OS , please update the firmware from PDA:MJ5 to PDA:MJ8 also,
then try formatting.
Same problem after updating on my Samsung S4
Same problem after updating on my Samsung S4.
I have the Middle east version UAE. MJ5 build number currently.
i noticed the dialor was started this issue.
i hope there is a solution for this soon.
still issue after hard reset

I made hard reset on my phone and tha issue still exists. from samsung service they told me its possible the viber on 4.3 that makes the problem so I unistall it I made hard reset but I still have stacked tool bar sometimes after receiving or making calls but no so often.
notification bar problem
I updated my s4 i9500 to 4.3 indian ver. INU mj5 via kies and recently MJ8.. and same problem happening to me... notification bar would not pull down on call ends... calling again fixes the problem but thats kind of annoying every time for fix..... even transition animation scale resets on opening camera app.... then I thought to give a clean install via odin on same firmware from sammobile... ie. INU MJ8 21 oct build.... but this even did not solve the above problems. .. I also uninstalled viber thinking it might be the cause.... factory reset... cache wipe ... everything but to no avail.... any permanent fix would be appreciated. ...
Phone Settings
Guys,
Do you have the phone setting answer call using the power button selected ? Please, let me know. My notification bar never crashed today after I un-selected this option.
Thanks,
