So far since I got this phone it has frozen on a black screen 3 times had it a about a week and a half now. Missed my alarm twice and once was with no alarm set. Only way to wake it is to pull battery. It happened in stock twice once rooted and once in Barren 2.1 now. Anyone have this issue or solutions for it?

Not happened to me on stock, rooted Sprint version. You might want to take a look at the apps you've installed, or performance tweaks you've made, and try to figure out if one is misbehaving.
But on stock it had happened with no performance tweaks except for the three in developers options for transitions from 1x to .5

Ide go back to stock a return it for a new one. Sounds hardware related unless you have an app your using from day one causing it.

I had problems with my data about a week ago and Big Red did all kinds of test on my phone with nothing resolved. 36 hrs. Without data and a new phone was sent to me. Now my old TB is working fine so it was Verizons service in the area that was down. My question is should I used Revolutionary root to restore my old phone and root the other or leave it as is? My phone isn't hurt always in a case and a screen protector.

I would always keep my first brand new phone. Anything sent to you as replacement is like-new. Service is up and down as they tweak their system. Keep old phone.

i agree. whenever you get a "like new/refurbished" product, you have no idea what happened to it originally(or how good the "fix" was) or more importantly, how much use it's been put through and how much life it has left.
None of these tips are revolutionary, but they do work. Here's some things I did to eliminate lag.
1. Installed clean rom (optional, but c'mon, just do it)
2. Installed Nova launcher
3. In Nova settings go to look & feel > scroll speed > choose stock.
4. In Nova settings go to look & feel > animation speed > choose stock
5. In phone settings go to lock screen. Change unlock animation to dewdrop.
Phone is buttery smooth now. Changing the Nova scroll and animation to stock made the most difference. And dewdrop has the least amount of lag of all the other animations. These steps seem simple, but they made a big difference for me.
That's all bull sh!t. I shouldn't have to do all that also installing clean rom isn't an option for me because I'm on tmobile and I will lose the ability to use wifi calling.
I just exchange my first G2 cause of the lag issues I was having with it. If this second unit lags the same, then unfortunately I need to exchange it for a different phone and I'll eat the cost of the restocking fee.

Or you can disable animations in development settings. I personally don't have much lag.

Is it the studder of transition of the tabs in phone, music, settings app lags that you're talking about?
If it is, i think it is normal.

People seem to be having varying results with this phone. Some aren't experiencing any lag at all. Some people are a little more anal about it. (I'm in that camp). But I think it's bullsh!t too. We shouldn't be having this problem at all given the specs on this phone.

I think we all know that and maybe if development picks up for this phone, then maybe the lag issue will be a thing of the past. But I unfortunately just don't think this phone will be popular enough to warrant a development community.
Unfortunately I upgraded from the HTC One and that phone was so buttery smooth compared to the G2. I have some regrets on ebaying it off
I wanted screen size and battery life which is the only reason why I sold the HTC One.

Like the optimus, I think we're going to see quite a boost in development for this phone. It's already rooted and has insane specs plus nexus 5 will be similar to it.
That equates to Dev support in my opinion.
Guys the kernel is from Jan 2012 source, it is old. Wait for an update or a linaro kernel, it isn't the hardware.

Personally, I really don't see any lag issues with mine. I have the VS980
I have the Verizon version too. I saw slight redraw with a billion apps open, but once I installed Clean rom I haven't seen a bit of lag and redraw. I think people are overreacting or I got very lucky. Then again I'm not one to put widgets everywhere and have 3 home pages filled up, etc..
Lag? I have no idea what people are talking about.

go to Settings, General, developer options, disable hardware overlay, force GPU rendering that should solve the lag issues.

I've experienced very brief & minor launcher redraw maybe once or twice since I got this phone on Tuesday night at T-Mobile. I'm testing the phone and the network during my 14-day window. And that's with animations and the clock/weather widget. I deleted everything from the other home screens, though.
Hey guys so I just upgraded to the s4 and for some reason it seems laggy and slow . Now I did install safe strap root and flashed hyper and jelly but there was a lag feeling to it compared to my note 2. Titanium takes longer to restore same number if apps and even adding a gmail account its has some lag. So I went back to stock rooted to try this. Anyone else have this happen? I thought the s4 would be faster than n2.

I have gotten as high as 29000 something or other without overclocking the CPU. I think I was on Hyperdrive. I'd think vanir would smoke. That is one fast rom. Just did a run of that benchmark on eclipse 2.0. I have very modified kernel settings. Aimed @ a mix of battery and performance and scored 26500. Underclocked CPU.

Officially? No, it'll be locked down like any other release. After that? Who knows, we'll just have to wait to see if someone will be able to do it.
What kind of lag are you experiencing exactly? Mine used to stutter a lot more than it does now... here's what I did to fix mine:
1) Freeze/uninstall all bloat of course
2) In Dev options change all window animations to .5 (or off if you want)
3) Turn off Lock Screen animations (water drop/light effect) <--- this made the biggest difference oddly
4) Install Nova launcher and don't use too many home screen widgets
5) (Optional) I use a program called Clean Master which will clean up junk files and cache for you
My S4 still isn't completely lag free, it does still stutter from time to time during heavy multitasking but I think that's just the nature of a heavy skin like Touchwiz running in the background. Unfortunately I have ME7 so comparing it to AOSP is out of the question right now (I don't really want to run Safe Strap at the moment).
There are also other things I haven't tried like Greenify-ing apps and whatnot, but for now I'm happy with how it's acting.
Opening apps up and unlocking phone was laggu for me. I'll try what you suggested. I'm hoping I can either trade my phone for a mdk version or 4.3 becomes unlockable

I'm not sure. I doubt it. I have been hopeful that a dev is sitting on an exploit waiting until the 4.3 update to release it so there is not a opportunity to patch it. But as far as I know right now there is no exploit for the me7 boot loader and no prospects on the horizon.

Usually that is related to WiFi location being checked in location settings. Uncheck it and the usage will go down.

My wife has a S3 and I also had one before I upgraded to the S4. Initially this phone felt slower to me too but after rooting and installing a stock debloated rom it seems plenty fast. I rarely notice any lag at all....maybe after about 10 days without rebooting. My wifes S3 is SLOW as heck now which is really strange. I tried factory resetting it and last weekend flashed it in Odin...still slow.....her phone is insanely slow compared to mine.

Yeah, maybe my expectations were too high. I was running bonestock and it was the smoothest experience I had. But, the occasional home button lag, super slow dialer, and choppy performance during some game play and scrolling made the overall experience disappointing.

I know it's fun to bash Touchwiz but I think a lot of lag issues still hide under Android itself... I'm hoping to see good results with the TRIM feature in 4.4 (not sure if it's in 4.3?) to totally get rid of lag across all Androids.
I completely agree with you though, Touchwiz is bloated and heavy and I prefer stock Android over all others.
I feel kind of stupid but I used to have a swap button and now I seem to only have a record button and can't switch when I take a second call. Am I missing something, this seems to be the case in the regular dialer and in rocketdial

I'm going to help get this back to the top cause I have the same problem. Not sure when the swap button went away but I'm sure it was there at one point. I can not find anywhere in the settings that would change this. Only things I have done is root via chain fire method, install twrp, flashed freeza's crt animation mod for the native wifi tether and his beastmode kernel. Have you done any of this? I would love my swap button back but instead I have to hang up with both callers then call back whoever it is I want to continue talking to and it is really getting irritating. Anyone have any ideas or the same issue?

Thank you. I don't feel so alone and dumb now. I rooted using the other knox safe method dela root and odined the same file in that post although my baseband and software say mi3 and the build says mi5. With calls that is the exact problem I have. I can now record a conversation when its on speaker phone but dont need that. Only other thing I downloaded was rocketdial for a while I thought that was it but uninstalled and have the same problem

I am finding it hard to believe out of 200 views we are the only ones with this problem. I let my phone update to mj4 before I rooted it. Have you installed the crt animations or a new kernel? We seem so far apart in what we have done to be able to make sense of this.

Dela vega. Lets try this does everyone else have a swap button in the top left position or does it say record. Or do you have a record button that switches to swap when you answer a second call

Its hard to tell because I reset with De la vegas again. But the first thing noticed n Wanum was the record button checked and unchecked it calls work fine now.
Finally got to mess with the phone and wanam was definition the culprit. I can now swap between calls again. The issue I still have and not sure what happens on the stock rom, when I want to hang up with one person I tap end them it doesn't switch me back to the person on hold. Instead it acts as if someone is calling me and then have to answer the phone where that person had been on hold the whole time. Hope this makes sense.

Did you just disable the module this is frustrating I never noticed until today when I tried switching back to the first call I had on hold
It's under the phone tab. Uncheck add record button or something like that. Should work. I have since installed a rom so not 100%. Let me know if it doesn't work and I will reinstall it to see if I can find it.

I wish we could have both. I want call recording but also want swap. I use swap so little however that I live without it.
what I want is behind the scenes fully transparent over any connection bluetooth or speaker call recording in the background fully automatic.
I had this on my Touch Pro 2 (windows mobile) and its one feature I really really miss. it just "always" worked.
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.>?????
