Random reboot / restart - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Have had my GS4 for 2 days and loving it. Today though I was opening a web page (Weather Channel) in the stock browser and the GS4 rebooted. Hoping it was just some glitch. Will be carefully monitoring the situation over the next few days. Searched other sites and found others who complained about this issue but no real consensus as the cause or solution (other than getting a replacement, sometimes the new one had the same issue). Anyone here on VZW had this also?

happen to me once when downloading a bunch of apps from the playstore.. I wouldn't look into too much unless it's constantly rebooting.

Well it just happened again simply viewing / opening the browser. Everything is stock

Gmail bug/broken

I'm stock unrooted. Up until an hour ago Gmail was working fine, now i can't even open it without crashing and flickering. Anyone else having this issue? It seems to be plaguing everyone commenting in the marketplace.

Try clearing data and cache for gmail. I am stock rooted and currently do not have this problem.
i did twice. I restarted twice. That's so weird. If you read the comments on the Gmail app in the marketplace a lot of people are having this issue. The only thing i did differently was download the new angry birds. I don't understand.

I found another forum where people are experiencing the same thing on different phones. It has to be Gmail updating their system. But i find it odd how it only affects certain users. I can't possibly be the only person with this problem who uses a note.

I am having the same problem on my note.
Yay I'm not crazy. Lol. Life hacker has an Article about it. Its apparently a coding bug that was recently updated. The only work around is using the default email app.

Hi guys, I have the same problem with HTC Desire!
http://groups.google.com/a/googlepr...ries/gmail/android/gmail/Cw1AKdxpj7c/overview
Here's a helpful group, apparently google is aware of the issue and trying to fix it. They're asking for you to post your phone model, software, and time the incident occurred.
It just occured to me this morning. Really weird...
I'll sync it up with the email app from now on.
the problem is still not resolved
No issues with any Google apps (gmail, +, maps, nav, etc.) for me on my note...

Same here, new Angry Birds Space is all I've installed and it's glitching like crazy.
Sent from the White Monolith
EDIT: tried uninstalling the game, no help.
Gmail is working fine on both my phones
T989 and i717
i just received an email from my customer, after i sent her an email less than 10 min ago
i've been receiving emails all day at 30 min interval
i do have angry bird space installed on both phones
working for me again after about an 20 hour outage. This bug was really interesting considering it is supposed to be server-side but the client behaving the way it is.
Finally back up for me.

[Q] anyone else having issues with the XDA app

Just wondering if anyone else has had issues with the XDA app recently, on quite a few occasions for the last few days it won't work for a while then just starts working again.
Is there some kind of site maintenance being done that is causing this or is the problem on my end. Running completely stock haven't even rooted yet

I just had an issue last where i couldn't load it from hitting the shortcut icon on my screen. I had to clear data in manage applications and log back in then replace the icon.

Mine the app would open fine but when I tried to go to a forum and it would not load and then the data connection would just give up like it wasn't trying anymore. I had a good connection in adding other data app, so I was just wondering if it was something they were doing like site maintenance or something. Today was the third time since I got this phone, wouldn't load and then later it is fine.

I thought it was related to root but I've had these hot reboots even before rooting so it's not just root. Most likely an app.

Will take a while to hunt down the app but anybody else have 'LinkedIn' app installed? It just hot rebooted while launching that app from a fresh restart - quickest hot reboot I've ever seen.
It might not be that app but then I went to the Play Store page and there are tons of 1 star reviews because the last update failed on people's phones - more interestingly the most recent comment is from a GS2 user who says latest update reboots his phone.
I've uninstalled it and I doubt I can be that lucky that it's that app and I find it so quickly but crossing my fingers.
Mine rebooted after I opened the Navigation app.
Mine is random, many different apps

Mine happened again. I've now uninstalled BetterBatteryStats. I'm going to start uninstalling stuff that uses root to roll that out. I've had these issues on stock but it happened rarely, lately it's been happening very frequently so something is going on.

I've had the same on mine. I rooted mine day 1, so no idea if it would have done it without root. I've defrosted everything in TB and still no luck.

Well I'm tired of the random hot reboots! Some people say it happened to them before rooting, but I don't believe it happened to me until I rooted and installed CWM touch......so I'm going back to stock to start all over again so I can try to narrow down the issue. I'll report back on my progress as it becomes available.

Happening often to me. The search continues. I've now uninstalled adfree. I'm positive this is an app since I had it occur on stock after two weeks of using the phone and installing crap.

I had the same problem on my previous Captivate and am having it now on the GS III; no rhyme or reason to the reboots that I can see.
I still have heat problem but I played w/ different settings to see what it is.... I had att s3 which got really really hot... So returned it for Verizon s3. Verizon is better but learned that the data (lte/s3) makes it really hot and battery drain. Also the screen, of course.
If you're rooted then go get Phone info and disable lte. I tried CDMA auto for Verizon and it got much better... But at lowered download speed. I change it when I speed the speed... Doesn't require reboot so it's easy to change.
U can also under clock using setCPU.
I don't need it to be fast normally except when playing games... So just have it at 384min and 1024max... I find this helps allot w/ heat as well... U can try and find your setting that's acceptable speed and heat.
Just sharing my experience here.... So good luck.

Happens here too with the T-Mobile GS3. I think they rushed their fabrication process to deliver a high volume and fubared a few hardwarewise. I've even had it lockup/freeze once when not even in the OS but just in the recovery menu's. But yeah, the usual is a totally random unpredictable hot reboot throwing out my resident programs, homescreen, ect. Starts with the screen being frozen and not accepting input, then a short vibration, then back to homescreen reloading and all regular apps and widges that are supposed to run at boot load again. It's as if there's a micro static short or something. Anyway, I'm sick of problem solving and looking through logcats. Going back in for warranty. This is a dream phone except for this ultra annoying bug that it seems not many people have.

Happened to me once or twice (that I noticed) in the two weeks before I rooted (stock UCALEM), and a few more times after. It's just TouchPiz being pizzy. Maybe someone can catch the logcat, but there's nothing we can do about it (except install a better ROM )
How would anyone be able to diagnose this BS
"OK. My phone is hot. And it randomly reboots".
"Crap - u r out of luck buddy. Go change ur damn phone".
Provide ur phone model, ROM version, apps installed. Check ur battery stats.
As a solution - flash any custom ROM which removes bloatware.

Anyone else's DNA freezing, rebooting?

I've had the DNA since 11/21 and I'm surprised more people are not complaining about the phone freezing up and rebooting?
I saw the other post about DNA problems and he mentioned Chrome causing the problem. My DNS froze running Chrome as well so I uninstalled that but it still freezes up when I am in the Mail and Gmail application. It does not happen with a certain action in any application so I am not sure why it keeps freezing up and then rebooting.
I do not have a lot of apps but I am using UCCW, Simi Battery Widget, and Android Pro Widgets on my homescreens. Other than those widgets I pretty much only use the Internet browser, camera, phone, Play Music, and Facebook.
Is anyone else having the same problem with their DNS randomly freezing and rebooting?
I don't think it's a phone issue, but more of an app issue? Remember not all apps are truly compatible with this phone as of yet. Sure, you might be able to download the app you want, but it may not play nice with this new device. I say start fresh, do a factory reset, and add apps all over again. I tend to stay away from apps like UCCW, BW, and so on as I think those are not really ready for this phone. Of course I could be wrong though?
If the problem occurs after the factory reset, I say exchange it for a new one, and hope it's a good phone.
Good Luck!
I discovered the same thing yesterday but luckily I was able to duplicate back to Any.DO. So I just step carefully around the app where it works.
I am using Power Widget and Beautiful Widgets on my home screen with no issues so far.
I would take the previous posters recommendations.

I guess it's just me then. Thanks for the replies.
I just thought it was weird because I really don't run that many apps and like minimal style homescreens. I had the Galaxy Nexus and used to run all different types of ROMs (CM10, AOKP, Jelly Belly, Paranoid Android, etc.) (4.1, 4.1.2, 4.2) and I never had an issue with that phone freezing up like the DNA.
No problem here

I have two DNA's, picked them up on 11/21. As of yet neither have had any issues, even the batteries have performed better than expected. I actually ditched the razr maxx hd. Maybe its a manufacturer issue, exchanging it shouldn't be an issue.

I saw the demo at the Verizon store randomly reboot for no apparent reason. This was early on the day it was released, and I don't think they had added any apps yet. I clenched my teeth and bought it anyway. So far, so good.

if you are rooted, you can delete system apps using titanium, root explorer, etc, etc.
Personally, if a brand new phone is having reboots after a hard reset, it would be getting exchanged.

Why did you ditch the RAZR?
I am considering the DNA or the Razr as my next unit.
i have been dealing w/the reboots and freezing now more and more each day. sucks i'm not sure wats causing this to happen.i'm rooted and still on stock jellybean..could it be a kernel or something cause this really didnt start to happend til i changed kernels.
the only i noticed is a few of my apps were not compatible. some apps will run until i select a certain action then fc. some apps start but then shut right down. these apps just arent for the dna yet its ok delete and repeat lol
99% chance Its your kernel. The guys are doing a great job with the new kernels, but only one has been truly stable. DSB's first kernel is the only stable one I am aware of (aside from stock). I am currently on his 1.2.5 and it seems stable, but not 100% sure just yet.

Stock Performance

So far in the last few days I have have major lag when doing assorted things. Taking pictures, using stock messaging app and a couple other instances. I have also had the messaging app get bugged out and I was not able to type my text message. Another thing I noticed was freezing. Anyone else having issues like this or is it time to send this for a replacement.>?????
Probably typical TouchWiz nuisance, before you throw the panties in the wad factory reset. Start from the beginning. That replacement you might want, might already be a refurbished one that actually had some real issues
