S4 reboot problem - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hi I received my s4 today but as soon as the screen goes black from none use it just reboots, if I use it its fine but as soon as I put it down for 30 seconds and the screen goes black it reboots. Is it a setting I'm missing or a faulty phone, sorry for the noob question but I'm along time apple user thanks for any help.

At first glance, it sounds like a defective phone that should be returned promptly. However, we should make sure that you are sure you're doing things right. You're not holding the power button down at all, correct? (just pressing it?) And you're saying that after it sleeps, it simply reboots, or it reboots when you try to wake it up?
First try messing with the screen timeout/sleep settings.. I think the default is 2 minutes anyway, so I don't see why it would reset after 30sec.
Next, the battery is charged, right?
Next, try pulling the battery and putting it back in.
Next, try a data format / factory reset. If you return the phone, you'll be forced to do this anyway, so it's worth a shot.
After that, you've got me. Anyone else?

Thanks I have tried all the above but it's still the same, I've had to phone for a replacement but due to limited stock I've got to wait three weeks. Is there any way I can download the original firmware and reflash it.

There are no stock images as of yet, so you are not able to do this currently

Thanks for that the weird thing is I can use the phone for hours with no reboot problems, but as soon as I stop using it, it will turn itself off and reboot.

Yeah, that doesn't sound good and certainly isn't the user experience you are looking for in a brand new flagship phone you dropped a pretty penny on. You could try bringing it into the retail store purchased and see if they can do a swap there. If there are more in stock it shouldn't be an issue. I assume you had it pre-ordered online

When I try to use kies in your above post I get this message 'GT-I9505 does not support initialising, and when I look at my firmware information it says your devices current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via kies.

Samsung has just released the German version of the Firmware (GT-I9505) for kies so hopefully the US AT&T (i337) will be released soon. Check SamMobile's site for firmware updates and to see if they available via kies yet.

Have you tried just doing a factory data reset? You can do it through settings or even stock Samsung recovery I think.

Hi. Since 27th i have the same problem. The phone reboots sporadic. After factoryreset everything ok but tonight the same problem occured again.
Any solution?
Thanks!

If you are not rooted then I would first look at what you may have installed since you got the phone. If you have not installed anything, have not rooted, have not frozen any apps, etc. then I would get in line for a replacement asap.

no fix yet ?
HI
Same problem s4 reboot itself .
is there any update to fix that ?

Do a factory reset. If that doesn't fix it, hope you have a warranty cause it sounds faulty.

[Q] Flight mode issues

I couldn't find any other threads on this so here goes..
I've owned the S2 for over a month now, and recently I've noticed something very annoying on it. Sometimes, during a call, I do nothing and the phone just decides to switch to Flight mode, and then I cannot end the call, or switch back to normal mode. Only a reboot will fix it.
And, at times, when I try to pick up a call, sliding the answer option does nothing, and as usual, it goes back into flight mode. I am still on the stock rom with no changes done on it yet. Does anyone else have this same issue ? I'm
I've realised that it happened to me once since I got the phone for a week now, obviously, it is a simple fw bug and it it will be ironed in future updates by the way im on kf3 now with no such problem yet
I would be inclined to do a factory reset.this can solve many problems. Be sure to back up what you want to keep! For sms i used go sms to backup my messages!
*edit or as above poster has said if you are able to use kies to upgrade firmware!

@OP- On what firmware are you on?
I have considered a factory reset if nothing else works out. But before I go ahead with that I wanted to check if there's any other solution.
@ithehappy: I'm on 2.3.3 XWKE2
Found a solution?
I am facing the same issue as you guys are. Has anyone found a solution?

[HOW TO]Update GS3 to Official JB update using Kies-India. No Warranty issues.

The JB update just started rolling out in India a few days back and this method helps you update your Galaxy S3 to the official JB release using Kies(Easiest and the safest way) Though people over at this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33921598#post33921598 ) do say the servers are sometimes down and I personally think this was take a LOT of time.
Also, This should work in India, GS3 owners in other countries(GLOBAL + US VERSIONS) can give this a try to check whether they have the update or not. No harm done either ways.
I'd like to thank jshashwat93 for this method as I saw his post on the aforementioned thread and that's how I got my update.
NOTE: This method is pretty safe until you don't remove the phone from your computer while it's updating in Download mode. So if you do somehow manage to screw up your Device, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE
Here's how it goes:
1. Disconnect your phone from the computer, if you have it connected and start Kies.
2. Click on Help->Check for updates. This Updates Kies. It's required for Updating the Firmware of your phone.
3. After this is done, you might want to restart Kies, and from here on, we shall get to the Update process.
4. Go to Tools->Firmware Upgrade and Installation.
5. It should ask for your Model No. Enter: "GT-I9300".
6. Now it should ask for your Serial No. as Shown in the 2nd picture attached.
7. Now power off your phone and remove the back cover and then the battery.
8. The battery compartment has the IMEI number and the serial number near the Barcode. You require the Serial number.
9. The serial number is written as "S/N: XXXXXXXXX". That's an 11 character number. Write the "XXXXXXXXXXX" in the Serial Number field in the Kies pop up. (Do not write the 'S/N:/ Part)
10. Non Indian users, this is the step that makes it or breaks it for you, the next screen shows you whether or not there is an update for you and from here on, the software will download some files(Shouldn't take long)
11. After a few agreements, you should see the software now asking you to attach your phone in Download mode.
12, Make sure your phone has at least 80% battery because I am not sure whether the battery is charged in Download mode or not. And this step might take a while. The phone, from here, SHOT NOT BE DISCONNECTED or you will spoil your phone(Brick i even. Don't know the consequences)
13. By now you must havee seen that all settings and apps will be erased(In one of the agreements) so it's better to back up your data. ALTHOUGH, here's the interesting part, after my update, I saw all the apps and EVERYTHING was carried forward as it is so cheers to SAMSUNG for that.
14. ALright, Power off your device and press and hold the VOLUME DOWN+HOME BUTTON+POWER BUTTON to enter the download mode.
15. The phone should now display a warning(Check image). Press the volume up button to Continue.
16. You are now in download mode.
17. Connect your phone to your computer and start the installation(The onscreen instructions will guide you. I couldn't post screenshots because I have already updated my phone. Sorry)
18. Sit back and relax this may take a while I left it overnight and slept like a baby(LOL). Though make sure, YOU DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE
19. You should have Jelly Bean after the update is done. No need to restart or anything as for me, it was already rebooted. And all my apps were carried here. Works absolutely perfectly. CHEERS Samsung
NOTE: This does not void the Warranty because it's been updated through Kies. So if something DOES go wrong, and you can't find a way to solve it on XDA, you can always get it repaired. Still, Don't blame me if the guy won't repair your phone.
Have fun with your new Update. Cheers
If I helped in anyway, Which I hope I did, HIT THE THANKS BUTTON INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING IT!!!!!!
Doesn't work mate.I tried it and I am from india. Nowhere is jb update available in india......also kies is the weirdest app ever...says no update...I tried everything you just mentioned...God knows if indian users will get it in this month or maybe next year(4.1.1)...as of 4.1.2 and multi window ,its like just give up,samsung is too busy to roll out updates...

Can't be. I live in Pune and I updated it just yesterday. Its working just fine for me. Try to see if your lies is updated or not. And probably it hasn't been rolled out for your location. Samsung, at least in the US releases OTA updates specific to locations. Might be the same case here. Oh and this only works on the stock ROM. What error are you getting?

I'm Indian too man. And I am on 4.1.1 just updated last night. I guess ota is rolled out to specific regions at a time so their servers don't crash so I don't expect people getting otas soon. Kies by default doesn't give an update either. This method is the only way to get it right now if you have it
got it...finally updated to 4.1.1
gauravdm said:
2. Click on Help->Check for updates. This Updates Kies. It's required for Updating the Firmware of your phone.
Its on step (2), it says "Latest Version installed". So, would this still work, if i try to update?

Also, when I'm putting in the model no. and the serial no., it gives the following error:
"The model information that you have entered cannot be verified; the device initialization cannot proceed"
Can someone help and let me know what the error all about?

Yes it will work.
You entered in Caps "GT-I9300" right?
See the screenshot. And check whether you entered the Correct Serial Number. All should be in caps and do not add the "S/N:" in the beginning.
So did anyone in Kolkata get the OTA update?
Also, this method probably woks but due to my slow internet connection, I don't know if I can stare at my phone that long being in download mode.

It works partially for Poland (T-mobile). It found an update, installed it, but the 4.1.1 for polish T-mobile version is surely broken. I haven't got bar at the top of the screen (the one with battery usage, time) and I couldn't set wallpaper (only black screen as background). I'm not an expert with this but I think it have something to do with odexed/deodexed ROM in the update.
I had the same issue when tried to manually install first leaked JB OTA. Good thing I could root phone and restore backup.
BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE TRYING THIS METHOD!

[Q] lagging S4

I am not so much of a noob but just don't really know where to put this. Srry for any inconvenience in advance.
The problem is that I have a GT-I9505. Tried to root it a while ago but only thing I got was a flagged binary. ( gonna fix that btw soon ) But since KitKat and some updates from all of my apps, my phone is lagging. It waits several seconds to open any app. If I am typing the letters appear about 3 seconds after I types them. This goes espescially for Whatsapp. And no I don't use beta, just the latest version.
I would understand this happening to me because my phone is slightly altered. But my girlfriend has exactly the same problem but the phone is untouched.
So my question is: Has anyone experienced the same problem of lagging? And if so is there anything I can do about it except for a factory reset?
grtz in advance Maverick ®
ps the lagging gets worse when I load the battery. Either on normal power or hooked up to my laptop of pc

^This. You can also try updating to the latest firmware 4.4.2 (it has 2 updates: the one updating to 4.4.2 and the other one for performance and stability). I noticed that I was lagging like crazy when I was still on 4.3, but when I updated to 4.4.2, the lag just went away.

New Update N910VVRU2BPA1

I've been chatting with Samsung Support through Twitter about Kies not taking my serial # for my Note 4. They asked for my serial # and my imei #, so I gave it to them and they asked what version i was on and told them BOK3, they wrote back saying there is a newer version, so I asked which one is it. So here is a screenshot.
OTA Update provided by @hsbadr thanks to @doinsvelt
Official Firmware & OTA Update from N910VVRU2BOG5 to N910VVRU2BPA1: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...mware-firmware-kernel-modem-recovery-t2942937
Safe Upgrade N910VVRU2BPA1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=65278655
Update: if your battery takes a dump with the OTA, it is recommend that you do a repair via the Verizon assistant or via Kies. But if you are on a safe upgrade version then this will take you out of safe upgrade and keep you on BOG5 incremented bootloader.
Maybe a new Samsung version, but maybe not a Verizon version?
Sent from my SM-N910V using XDA Free mobile app
Here are the screenshots.
They responded back that it is 5.1.1 with security patches
So Samsung says there is another version they have out. But has Verizon released it yet? The manufacturer releases versions to the carriers who then release it to the phone owners after they do their "branding". Case in point, Samsung released 6.0.1 for the Note 4, but we don't have it yet. So

Its quite simple indeed just download the zip file from the forum 5.1.1 then save it in ur sd card, press up volume, power and home button at the same time to access stock recovery, navigate to option where is says update from a file, there you go it will update to 5.1.1, batter been slightly different (not a big improvement) im indeed a very very heavy user.... i received emails all day from my job, need to check whatsapp several times, there is some annoyances however... like wifi notification that is connected never go away... the wireless and fast charging notification remain in 5.0.1 now in 5.1.1 just says it once time and disappear, album cover full screen its completly gone.... performance in task screen and some apps display faster and also navigate throught touchwiz its a little bit better... not a BIG BIG difference... they put connect to at&t network (even thou its verizon), everything its fixed in BPA1 update so if you want to give a shot go ahead... i mean its not a big big diference but if you are bored of being in 4.4.4 or 5.0.1 go ahead! good luck
This may need to go devs but notice every time you boot into recovery on this update it says "installing update". Not sure exactly what that means cause I am no dev but it seems like the the recovery is more locked down on this update.
I also did factory reset after update. So not sure why it would do that every time booting into recovery.
for last week battery been dropping fairly quickly to about 40%, then stopping abruptly. Got the update last night. After almost 12 hours on battery, it is still at 88%.
My battery wasn't doing very well until I disabled fast charging and charged regularly. But have always noticed that even on kitkat

In my case:
PDA N915FYXXS1DPI1
CSC N915FYPHE1DPE1
http://dl.sammobile.com/OlFYRi8qLDA...EBbQ0M./N915FYXXS1DPI1_N915FYPHE1DPE1_PHE.zip
Could someone perform a light debloat (Knox and related apps) to the new official roms (or explain how to do it step by step)?
Thanks in advance

Thank you for your help but my problem is not to flash an official rom but to prepare it removing knox and other unusefull bloatware (debloat) and then flash it

Yes, please, could someone check about the known issues? I've returned to 5.11, was totally frustrated.

Hmmmm mines re-rooted after flashing this new firmware??
Flashed RC-SuperSU-c2.73-20160517124156.zip
I have now flashed this new firmware N915FYXXU1DPI3, it too early to tell if it resolves any of the issues of the previous firmware....
What I can tell you at the moment is that the phone seems to be getting hot, but not sure if this is because the ROM is settling down....
Marshmallow update has been an absolute disaster....
I hope this update fixes things. ...
Okay been running this new update since yesterday, no reboots. It's still not fast and is still laggy.... Not good... My note 2 knocks it into a cocked hat for usability...
Sent from my SM-N915FY using XDA-Developers mobile app
I still have soft reboots... albeit less frequently

Okay since my last post and the new firmware has settled down it still does the same thing, random soft reboots, I also have an intermittent problem with bluetooth, it seems to loose where it's up to and then speeds the song up to catch up with what I think is the time stamp....also when using the camera app sometimes whe taking a photo the phone shuts down and I have to pull the battery to restart it.
Same problems....I am at the point of selling this phone now as it becoming unusable for me.
Whats also more annoying is recently I flashed my NOTE2 with a new Rom and my S4 with Nugget, both are way more responsive then the Note Edge
Feeling disillusioned...

I see your point, but since I have returned to 5.1.1 I am really happy with this phone. And with my old Note 10.1 LTE it was the same: No support, no updates, and after flashing a custom rom it is again my dayly driver for games, work and movies. Love the Note family although Samsung really works hard on destroiing their reputation on it. So, I will stay with my note and 5.1.1.
Thnx for testing!
Hi
