S4 restarting on its own. - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Anyone else's s4 ever done this? It just did it and that's maybe the 3rd time it's happened. I'm completely sock and running nova launcher prime.

Hmm apparently I got some screen mirroring update? No idea what that is.

rooted/unrooted?

lol #3??? What on earth are you doing to these poor S4's

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.

Mine has done this too. Also I have had trouble in the middle of a call getting a crazy echo and jarble. This my second one having both these problems;(

Changed my rezound glass and digitizer now phone is pretty much dead

Well at first it vibrated when I pressed power but that's it. Now when I plug it in wall/USB the light flashes about every 30 seconds and nothing else. Anybody every see this

any chance your battery is just too low to power it on? Can you leave it plugged for a little and see if it boots later or try a different (charged) battery?
Did both, no luck
Also my computer will not pick it up

Try going through the whole process of installing it again. It sounds like something isn't connected. I mean if its dead and cant hurt it anymore.
Same thing happened to me. Had to get a new rez. I was overly cautious and took my time and I still can't figure out where I went wrong.

Random Reboots.

I have been getting allot of random reboots, not while actually using the device but when it is just sitting there, on charger and off anyone have any experience with this?
Are these full reboots, with the LG and AT&T boot animations, or is it just the UI reloading? I havent ran into this at all on this phone. However, i have had an issue with the UI reloading with every Samsung device Ive ever had. Not sure what causes it or if your experiencing the same thing.
They are full reboots I normally catch it on the LG logo,I guess if no one else has come across it I'll go swap the phone out for another. Though my LG g2x had reboots till we had custom roms....

I went and exchanged my phone today for another, so we will see if that helps it. I am not sure though because I had a LG G2X and it had random reboots as well, it was only fixed with custom roms and kernels later so assuming we get unlocked bootloaders I am sure that will be fixed but till then I am not sure if I am going to keep this phone or not....

Your talking about "redraws" it has to do with the launcher (TouchWiz) or in some cases, RAM.

Where as I do not use the stock launcher, I use NOVA and well we have 2 gigs of ram... Plus mine have certainly been full reboots and the G2x did this same thing... we need to just hope for am unlockedbootloader.
I have had 1 random reboot so far. Hope it doesn't happen again.

I haven't seen any on my device. 11 days. Stock launcher.
All stock since Nov. 2nd. Zero reboots.
I returned my device for another, haven't seen a reboot so far.
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
I've had reboots as well. Around 4 times now and purchased the phone nov. 3. a couple times it was when the phone is just sitting there on stand by. one time it was while posting a picture on instagram. Another was taking a picture and looking at the photos... and when it does re start, it will restart 2 or 3 times at a time, like i see the lg logo 3 times, then finally the "rethink possible" logo, then the phone boots up and while or just after my media scanning of my sdcard finishes, it will automatically restart again... and this happens 2 or 3 times. for some reason I feel like it has something to do with me 64gb sd card but am not sure, i used to think it had something to do with eco mode but phone has restarted while it wasnt activated too... dunno how to fix, hopefully an update will come for a fix :/

Same here. Must have been a hardware thing.

I'm going to have to send mine in for warranty too, put a reboot logger on it and it's around 4-5 times per day. I should probably unroot it before I send it in I guess.

What's your up time?

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
My up time:
Ha, this is interesting. I assume this resets when installing roms...

can I get rid of the unlock delay?

Hello, im on beans build 10 (it did the same on stock though) but when I press the unlock button there is a short delay until the screen turns on. Its fairly annoying. How can I make it so its instant? Thanks for any help

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.

It's been talked about on the One x forums with the blame being directed towards jellybean. I don't know if this is true or not but what I was lead to believe.

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.

Can't believe this happened lol

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.
