I just got my s4 a few days ago. I love it. Well the other day I was calling this girl I met for the very first time. I wanted everything to go perfect. She ended up not answering so I go to end the call and this thing pops up saying messaging app froze or something and it wouldn't let me push ok to close it. The phone was totally frozen. I couldn't hang up, push mute or anything. At this point her Voicemail is recording everything while I try to figure out how to hang up. I sort of awkwardly said "my phones frozen and idk what to do" lol. I then started to take off my case and finally got the battery out. Total freak accident. Unfortunately, I haven't heard back from her..

I have to say I lol'd at this story.
This type of stuff used to happen with my Droid Charge before this phone. It was massively frustrating. It started dropping texts and I totally missed out on hanging out with a girl I had a thing for. Oh well, if it was meant to be then it will still happen.
This story is awesome. However. Who calls other humans now of days. Isn't that what flip phones were for? Cellular devices

hahaha good story.
also sigh at one of your first experiences with the GS4 is having force closes....yeah i've been getting A LOT of them lol
Force closes aren't funny, but the epitome of Evil! Sounds like a buzz kill for luv in this case.
The exact same thing happened to me twice yesterday.
I think it was the Facebook messenger app so I uninstalled it.
Haven't had anymore lockups or freezes since.

Try this. Take the back cover off and then very gently pull the little golden tabs up a little. Also try pulling the sim card out and putting it back in.

Yea that did seem to help a bit. I got it to send a text but now once it has less than two bars it says no service even though its clearly in service with working data. Eh seems like its not worth the hassel of fixing and keeping.

Always fun to see everyone's up time. Didn't see a thread on it so I figured I would start. If there is already a thread like this, let me know and I'll have this one closed.
To find up time. System settings > about phone > status

If it did the same thing with a stock rom, it might be a problem with the phone. I'm using the i605 and I've been on beans build 10 and i have never had a delay problem.
How long is the delay usually?
The delay is almost un noticable. I would guess less than half a second. But there is a slight delay.

It's also well known and been asked a lot. Under display unchecked the auto adjust screen seems to help. Ultimately though it's just how the note 2 is and will (for now) always be there.

Well then even if that's the problem I guess we get to live with it. I know it's been talked about a lot here too. Never heard it was JB.
Oh well I'm far from important enough to need my phone so fast that a half second delay is gonna be a problem.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks for your replies. I am not really annoyed by this. It only seems to do it when the phone has been at idle for a while. Its not something I would knock this phone for. This things a beast so I can live with a tiny delay. Haha. Thanks again and hope that maybe itll get fixed in either official 4.2 or maybe key lime

i got rid of the unlock delay by disabling the lock screen...been using my n2 this way for a month now. no pocket dialing or anything random...actually dont think i could go back to using a lock screen.
afaik it's an exynos issue. you can do a few things to get the most out of it, but the processor will always take a second to pull itself out of deep sleep.

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

I received it also, only problem is, it never downloads, it drained my battery dead by 4pm yesterday. First time my battery didn't make it till 11pm. I un installed Facebook, I'll reinstall it when they release the update through the market

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
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
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.

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 not doing anything to them. Each one I've had has had some sort of issue.
But it's only rebooted a few times since I've had it. It's very rare so I'm not that annoyed.
Mine has done it a couple of times as well. Usually when I'm using it pretty intensely. I figure I just overload it, and it causes it to reboot. Now its got an issue of sometimes freezing on the Verizon logo at boot. Have to pull the battery to get it to boot when this happens.
