My phone is just rooted, haven't flashed anything yet, just have xposed framework and wanam module installed. Now the weird thing is everything is fine until I bump the phone against something. Not a hard bump mind you, just a mild bump, and just like that the phone reboots. Doesn't turn off completely, just reboots. Also happens if I knock on the back of it, over the battery. Any thoughts what it could be? A hardware problem or software glitch? Any help would be appreciated.

Chances are it is a loose battery or maybe faulty connectors. You can try shimming the battery to keep bit tight on the contacts. Or sprint will give you a different battery I'm sure.
Note 3 or Gear Sent
That sounds like a hardware issue. I'd un root and take it in.

My s3 just froze while charging. After charging for a while I couldnt reactivate the screen with the home button or the power button, it was showing a red light. Had to pull my battery and restart, all working OK now, but a bit worrying.
Anybody else get this?
Got sick odd pulling my battery out of my old htc desire that had a damaged mother board, now I'm thinking... Oh no not again.

Any chance you are using a custom ROM/kernel? More specefically kernel?
It happened only once? or still happening evrytime you charge??
if only once or once in a bluemoon, its normal, may be due to any background application,
No all standard issue ROM no rooting here, has not happened since so fingers cross its a one of event.

Not happened yet but had plenty freezing on other phones, and that's just one reason why you'd have to be dumb to buy the One X if you ever plan on Rooting.
Thats the main reason I went with the s3 over the one x I rooted my htc desire and tried many roms battery pulling was a fairly regular event. Until they put a hard reset button on a phone I always want to have a cover to yank off.

Could you elaborate more about what this screen is?
If you had it you would know what I'm talking about for sure.
If you were just asking in general. It all appears to be a screen that gives you an option to go into download mode after your phones hardware resets. Phone boots into it.
I got a black Demigod screen on my old phone Friday. It was the proverbial straw on a phone that was rebooting itself daily - I exchanged it on the weekend.
The black screen was, I believe, for a kernel panic. I got the same 3 options: Download mode, reboot to normal and something else...
Does your phone get poor battery life. Does it make noise when you squeeze it? I wonder if all these issues are related. You should have your phone replaced. My phone does not give me any of the problems people are talking about
the best phone ever
Yep, I got the yellow screen this morning. I was like WTF is this? Rebooted and all is fine now. We'll see how long it lasts. Any idea what causes this?

Was told in irc that its a mode the phone goes into that allows jtag over usb. If it does it again im just taking this one back too. Everything seems normal after a reboot for me too, something is changing when it happens though because my hosts file reset both times.
Both times it happened i was on sk8s kernel. But i havent seen anyone else on it say anything about it and i was on sk8s on my old phone too and it didnt do it.

All I've done is root, unlock and removed bloat. No other mods on my end so it can't be due to sk8s kernel.

They definitely know more. No doubt about it. At least we know one thing. I got it on stock while others got it on a ROM. So I'd assume that it's a hardware issue or an issue that's buried in the software. See, I just covered all the bases. Lol

I'm on the Sprint LGOG and I just had it happen too.
Stock ROM, rooted, and unlocked. Never happened until today, which was the first time I did a restore with TWRP - I debloated too much.
Rebooted and seems fine now.

Is all fine and dandy until you miss an alarm.
I just got the Demigod screen too.
All I've done to my phone is root it and unlock it with FreeGee.
EDIT: I had noticed that the phone was acting somewhat strangely the past couple days (slow response, screen not turning on when I press the power button, multitasking screen not appearing/not responsive). Now it seems alright even though I had rebooted the phone prior to the Demigod screen to try and resolve these issues.
Quick overview...been running hyperdrive rls7 with some mods and been running nice. All of the sudden today when I got in my car, the verizon charger that always works with my phone says its now incompatible and the battery is not charging. Got home and hooked up to various chargers at different wall sockets...same message. Thought it might be a rom issue but restored to just stock rooted and am getting the same message. When the phone was in recovery (twrp) mode however i could tell it was charging bc it had a "58 +" which means it was charging (also it was at 50 before I restored).
What is going on and is this just the phone not thinking its getting charged, when it really is? I've googled this and have researched a decent amount and most issues of this type are a device issue...not rom specific. I really dont want to get a replacement device that has ME7. Any help would be much appreciated.
Try cleaning the charger port and also see if there is a bent pin in the port.

I'm very careful when plugging my phone in since my wife has bent hers before. The only way that my phone seems to charge is if I revert back to rooted stock and throw the phone into recovery. The phone is recognizing that there is a charger plugged in. It's just saying it's the wrong one. I went to Android Phorums and it looks like several people over there are experiencing the same exact problem. It looks to be some issue with the motherboard. This guy replaced the "usp ribbon" inside the phone and that seemd to fix it...? Dont really want to open up my phone, but looks as though I might have to unless I want to restore stock rom and charge in recovery every night and then restore hyperdrive in the morning when I wake up (this is what i'm doing today at least)....
http://forums.androidcentral.com/ro...sung-galaxy-s4-not-charging-grey-battery.html
Link above goes to another android forum that shoes exactly what is going on with my phone, but the one fix that is within means me taking the phone apart which isn't something I necessarily want to do...please help...anyone...tried cleaning out the port on phone, but the device is rather new, so not much to clean.
Also, just tried letting the phone charge with the phone off, along with the gray battery screen and the vibration every 10 seconds on the way to work and it actually charged up by 4%, so it seems the battery is chargable, just not while the phone is on. Something is def wrong here, but all is not lost. Any other fix known to anyone other than taking my phone apart and replacing the "USB ribbon"?
Also, when connecting to a windows computer, the phone is not recognized...there is a usb connection in the status bar for just a second and then it goes away. Believe this is all hardware related, but dont want to trade or get replacement device since I dont want to be locked down.
Yikes! I sure hope this is limited. Sorry to hear about you (& others) having this though.
You may want to consider purchasing a couple of extra batteries and an external charger. Anker brand batteries on Amazon are reported to be as good as the oem battery. You can get 2 batteries plus an external charger for $23. Beware of cheap oem batteries. They are often counterfeits from China that are not very good.
Sorry to hear that your problem is most likely a hardware problem. Some people are comfortable taking their phone apart and some are not. You will need to decide for yourself if you think it is worth the risk. I hope everything works out for the best for you.

Yeah...that's what I was thinking aout regarding an external charger. The good news is, is that this phone has pretty good battery usage. Just not what I expected from a $500 piece of electronics after 2 months of use. Thanks for the Amazon info!
I prefer an external charger anyway. The phone does not get hot while the battery is charging.

I believe the next to last line in the op answers your question. Chances are the update to ME7 would be installed by the techs. There is also the fact that it can take a while. I sent a phone to Samsung for warranty work last year and it took 4 weeks to get it back.

OK, so all of the sudden yesterday my phone started charging normally and connected to my computer as well. Basically, I think there was something wrong with my charging port, which has since fixed itself. Called a local service center and they mentioned that samsung ports go out all the time. If this happens to anyone else, not all S4 ports are the same...make sure you get the one for the Verizon GS4...
I keep finding this going on. A few times now I've noticed my phone discharging fast. I check with Better Battery Stats and find that that I've had "USB CB Wake Lock" going on for hours. I'm not sure but I think it starts while being charged during the night. A reboot shuts it off.
I'm not sure how to catch a log cat of this. Could I start the log when I notice it or would it need to be on when it starts? Or maybe someone out there already knows what's going on with it?
I googled it and found someone who said they needed to replace their USB port. I kinda wonder if I might have an issue with mine. I use it on my car dock almost every time I drive. The cable on my dock is fairly hard to plug in. It doesn't just line up correctly and I have to jiggle it around a little to plug it in. The reason I got this dock is because I can mount my big phone with an Otterbox case on it.
The thing is the wake lock seems to start up while it's on the stock phone charger rather than the car dock.
Maybe it's software related. I use Tweaked VZW Remix I had the PB&J Kernel til yesterday afternoon when I switched back to stock. But this morning I found the wake lock with the stock kernel.
I'd just start up a logcat but if I have to leave it on overnight it'll wind up being huge. I don't know what to do here. Anybody got any ideas?

Saw your post on tweaked thread... Been a while, but I think couple of things to try are... turn phone on before unplugging, try cleaning usb port with toothbrush and/or compressed air (pull battery before doing this). Last resort, replace usb... think it is only around $20? There are videos on how to do this. Not that hard if you're technically inclined at all.
Ok I tried cleaning out the USB port. We'll see. I do have a problem with metal shavings at work and once in a while I find that I've left the USB flap on my Otterbox open. I guess I need to be more careful. I hope that takes care of it. It seems to me like if it was a hardware thing rebooting wouldn't necessarily fix it. But I guess it could.

Well so far so good. Thanks man.
Here's what I have this morning. I found some info that said this happens while charging. That's about how long it was on the charger last night. I guess as long as it's charging while this wakelock is activated it's ok. The reason I've been concerned is I found this reading 1 day & 19 hours once. Maybe it's not a big deal. I'm gonna keep an eye on it. My phone doesn't seem to be discharging fast today.
Sent from my SCH-I605 with Tweaked VZW Remix using Tapatalk 4
Ok it's pretty obvious this wakelock is what it does while charging. This morning it added 7 hours to the 7 from yesterday and it shows 14 now. I guess the time it showed all those hours it hadn't been rebooted for a week. There must be another reason for the occasional fast discharge. I guess I need to keep watching this. It's probably about bad signals. It's a good thing we have Better Battery Stats. It's definitely worthwhile.

Is there any option, aside from xposed, to disable the stupid safe volume warning? Every time I plug the aux cable for my car into this phone, I have to crank the volume back up, as it resets to 35/75 volume. This is annoying as hell. Xposed has its own issues right now, so I'm hoping to fix the auto volume another way, possibly a build.prop edit? I've tried to figure it out, but don't know enough about this to make it happen.

Nope, it's fixed every current updated rom here, has been since mid November ish. Before that I flashed the necessary fixes, which are easily obtained by people who have the XDA version that has a search bar function...
