ive had my s3 for 3 weeks now, its been rooted but still running stock rom. today i experienced a reboot when i received a text message and this is the third time, each time prior to the device rebooting it vibrates for a long time i.e maybe 5 seconds instead of 2 secs, has anyone had anything similar happen to them? or is my device faulty?
Never rebooted .
I would return to stock see what happens .

Nope. Nothing like that has ever happened to mine.
Never rebooted using system Apps but plenty times with others, and that's the developer's fault not Samsung's.
I wonder if a third party app may be causing it? It only reboots randomly on a incoming message. I usually know it's going to reboot due to the long vibration.

Yeah have you installed any other Apps that can send or monitor received SMS?
Mine rebooted a couple of times in the first few days of use. (unrooted stock ROM)
Never had any since though.
My friend got an S3 2 days ago and he told me he's been experiencing random reboots !!! His phone is on stock rom and ain't rooted yet !!!

Only whatsapp, but I doubt that is causing it. I've cleared data in applications for the messaging app, so going to see if that helps, thanks for the replies, at least IM not the only one having issues, I read on another thread someone having similar issues when using the phone and a SMS arrived, his phone would freeze.
People that are not experience reboots are you using custom roms, and if so which do you recommend? If I have to send it back to Samsung, will flashing stock ROM and using triangle away prior to flashing ROM be enough to get warranty back again?

That means there's an App flashing something to Root and rebooting your phone, it happened to me with a cracked version of Rom toolbox pro so I uninstalled, and I'm not sure but that might add to your flash counter every time so you want to find out what's causing it.
Nope, mines been fine, even undervolted.
Ok I finally figured it out, it was nova launcher causing the freezes, using touchwiz no freezes when sms arrive.

Really? Nova is all I use on mine. Have never had a problem.

I have had the long vibration then a reboot a few times, had my phone a few weeks too, rooted and running different roms, only been happening the last few days.
I have a flash count of 9, so nothing too heavy.
Unrooted and went back to stock and then rerooted and installed villainrom.
Just had my first reboot about 5 mins in.
After the update downloaded and supposedly installed, I go in and check the software version Ans it still says 2.3.4 yet when I check the update status it shows it installed ICS. I've restarted a couple times and no change. What gives?
Sent from my ADR6425LVW using xda premium
Just guessing but you may have only gotten the first update which was 7.1 megabytes. After that one mine showed gingerbread still. I then went back in and checked for the ota and the 2nd showed up which is 299 megabytes. The first one is a patch which preps your phone for the real ICS update.
Sent from my Rezound using XDA-developers app...
I got both. I watched it download and install the 7.1mb patch and then it downloaded and supposedly installed the full 299mb ICS. It says in the update status that it installed 4.0.

Hmm, weird. I have no clue then. Hope you get it figured out.
Sent from my Rezound using XDA-developers app...
OK so this is odd. It started the OTA at 6:02pm and after I clicked Settings > Software Update > Status, it all of a sudden decided to run the update a couple minutes ago (11:50pm). Freaking weird.

Just to let people know in the UK that 4.2.2 OTA update is now live.

Nothing here.
If people have still not received the 4.2.2 OTA update, try disabling (location services) I've never turned mine on at all. I'm no expert but give it a try. Mine showed up last night at exactly 8.30 pm GMT.

It's not based on location. People have been reporting the upgrade here on the west coast U. S. Since the 11th. My son just got it on the 13th for his n10, my n10 still has nothing as does his n4 and the wife's n7. Who knows the order of the rollout.....???? Seems like they really have it throttled back.... 3 days in the same area and some have it and others don't.

As other have said, I don't think its location based.
If it was, I'm in Bucks and got mine last night.
I did reset the Google Framework stuff a couple times though.

Will give it some more time , already manually installed it on mine cant be bothered doing it on the missus's though in case i bork it.
No more sudden-restarting? No more crashs? No more passive-notification-led? :/
-----------------------------
Well, the Notification-led it's fine now... o/
Anyone in the UK who isn't getting the update:
Go to settings>apps>all>Google Services Framework>clear data>force stop then check for an update. It should say last checked 1970.
Repeat until the update appears. It will appear eventually using this method.
I just cleared data and rebooted straight away.. Update came through!

Uninstall and then reinstall Facebook and it should go away. There have been some posts in other threads about it.

Facebook is bypassing the Play store for updates now, but it never actually updated for me either.
As a note, I got rid of the message by holding it down and going to App Info and then Clear Data. It hasn't started again since. Be careful not to disable it (the Download Manager), as it will cause a lot of problems on your device, especially at boot and when accessing the Google Play Store from your device!!!
I actually went in downloads then to other downloads then trashed it and problem solved

Had this for a couple days. Googled it and people said to stop downloads in app manager. Did that and it would go away for a bit and just come back.
Then last night I got a message saying a Facebook update was ready to be installed or something. So I installed it and now no more message.
Anyone that keeps getting that notification want to check what version of Facebook you have? My "new" version is 2.2.1-g2.
Just curious if there's really a difference.

I got the prompt and installed the update. It seems to have fixed my chronic fb connection issues. It's also a lot faster now. I read about this update a while back so I knew what it was and was looking forward to it.

Okay.... and what does this have to do with my post? You disabled Facebook itself, whereas I was noting that disabling the Download Manager can cause serious problems.

I'm looking to trade up and exchange my current 16gb to the 32gb before my 14 days is up. What I want with this thread is for EVERY POSSIBLE USER that has received their 32gb S4 to confirm whether or not it came with the ME7 update. This will help myself and hopefully a few others decide whether or not it is in our best interest to make the switch or just buy and SD Card to help us sleep a little better at night. Personally, I like the latest and greatest and the more memory the better. I have no problem filling up space (not intended to be a fat joke). Please post if your 32gb S4 came with the updated ME7 or under.
Thank you!
I got mine yesterday it didn't have the update. Rooted and loked right now.

No new firmware here either. Shows April date for current stuff.
Thanks for the few replies. Anyone else with the 32gig version please feel free to chime in.
Are you getting it online or in store? I've thought of this as well and figured i would do it in store but ask them to power on the device and look for myself first. But I'm sure a root method will eventually turn up.

I traded up to the 32GB, arrived today via FedEx. Did not come with the update installed, but did download it immediately OTA as soon as I activated it. That said, you have the option not to install it once it downloads.

Got mine today and when it gained 4G after setup it tried to download the update.
I blocked it by rooting real fast and doing the following.
Go to /cache/fota and delete the update.zip and then remove the permissions on the /fota folder the update can't download.
Here's what it does.. Both of my 32G came with MDK.. but both of them downloaded the ME7 update OTA when I activated the phones on my Sim cards and got it set up. However it gives u the option to install now or install later. If u don't want to update then hit install later..

Same as others. You won't see the update on them until they get the next batch in. If you are looking to get one , the time is now.

Got mine on Wednesday. They were setting it up at the store and I could see the update loading. He had to pull the battery to do something with the SIM card, so the update stopped, and when the phone came back on (he was still setting it up to activate) he did something to delay the update.
The next morning, after having the phone on the charger all night (but shut off), when I turned it on in the morning, it was installing the update (must have somehow downloaded the rest overnight (but the phone was off? ). So I just let it go.
Didn't have much of a chance to do much with the phone besides downloading my apps the first day and setting up my go launcher settings, so having the update day 2,I couldn't tell any difference.
But this phone is a ton snappier than my old phone -HTC Rezound, and loving it so far. My main reason to root in the past was to get the latest version of Android, since HTC and Verizon neglected my old phone. This one has the latest version already and with 32gb internal, I'm not concerned with the bloat...
I ordered a 32GB S4 via Verizon's website on 7/26 and it was still on the VRUAMDK software version. Luck of the draw I suppose!

Some of us want more than just root. If Loki had been patched by the time I purchased my S4, I would've returned it day 1.

How much was the 32gb? I got my s4 16gb a few days ago and it was like $249 upgrade price at verizon store with $50 mail in rebate :crying:
I did my phone upgrade via flywire.com
The phone arrived without the sim card installed.
I left the sim card out
Rooted it, twrp, installed apps via wifi, froze SDM using titanium backup, made a nandroid backup, installed cleanROM.
One can do a lot without inserting the sim card.
Samsung asks to download something initially (over wifi) , and when booting up after performing a data reset. I always said NO just in case it was the dreaded ME7 update
Online order here. It came with it.
