Every now and again it turns itself off I have to manually turn it back on, could this just be a software issue in the s4, happened for about 3 weeks now, it's nothing major just annoying.

Mostly a software issue try a complete reset
Or u can also try flashing a other firmware using odin and reset the device if 1st option does not work

same here, sometimes when I open the camera app my S4 freezes for few seconds and then reboots, not mentioning the overheating problem.
Samsung should release an update or something, it better be a S/W issue otherwise I will kill someone.
Do you have problems running Antutu benchmark?
I have the same symptoms as you describe and the one thing that makes my phone restart every time is running the Antutu CPU benchmark.
Everything is stock and yes the phone likes to reboots when I start the camera app. Not every time but like once out of 2 times

Hi MoHeadGeek,
Do you have any update on that?
Any updates on the reboot issue when using the camera? It is really annoying

Same here. I don't know if I should change my phone or it's just a software bug that they will solve soon...
For me, it also freezes+rebooted while in the gallery or even launching some app.
If everything is stock, unmodded, and you installed all available updates from Samsung I would go get a replacement.
If your phone restarts when you start the Camera it is a software issue
It happens due to low RAM [the irony that it is in S4 -_-]
They should fix it soon but if you need to immediately then go to development options, scroll all the way down and keep Max tasks to 4.
Read it somewhere it works
But I think you have to set again after maual reboot

I installed the german update and it fixed the problem.
The developers options didn't work for me when I was with the stock rom.

No real issue's for me, but i've been using only custom roms.
The correct firmware does help.

Totally happy with my S4. Have had it from May and never had a single issue or FC.
With root and all bloatware frozen, I can easily do a full day with 4-5 hours screen time.
So I'm in no hurry for any 4.3 or 4.4 update whatever ... You know "Don't fix it if it's working" :victory:
That's true.
I installed a complete new firmware. Working fine now.
Had a problem with my sd card ,but seems that my sd card was defect

Only once did it randomly go into trwp recovery but its seen like a fault not software issue. Hope I can get a replacement

Its dead nothing happening with any button combos. Battery was 90%. Losing faith with Samsung had to get a replacement for a note 3 previously and have now switched to a nexus 5. May get a refund on this and wait on the nexus 10 2014 model

My condolences mate maybe there is a way to reset it with ADB commands or something? Wait till you get another answer, I don't know too much about these things myself.
I tried unplugging battery for 15mins opened it very carefully. But no luck. I'm just really annoyed as I lost data and its rooted so swap is only option

What I didn't understand is why you not re-flash a ROM via recovery or flash a stock ROM via Odin to see if this solve your problem. That will be one of my first steps.
PS. Other options are connect the device in the black-screen-mode and check via adb if you can see anything. Maybe an access to log cat is her possible and to get an output to see what goes wrong.
I've been having the same problem.. I just bought mine on Monday. It has either shutdown it self or just doesn't want to turn on, but I have to press the power button and +- volume buttons to turn it back on.. Now, I'm just waiting for it to do it again so I can return it...

So I updated my phone to kitkat today and after my wifi will not turn on. I'm getting a message saying that "my devise security has blocked a action that is not permitted. No further action is required" Not sure what to do. I tried a FDR twice and nothing. Pulled the battery. Any ideas. Please help. I don't wanna have to send it to Samsung. Rogers wants 50 bucks for a loner phone

Try the Virgin Canada ROM. This one allow the wifi turn on without problems. I had the same problem and the Virgin ROM worked perfectly.

Hi guys, there's a nexus 4 of my friend that shutdowns every time I try to turn it on. It's all stock, not rooted and bootloader locked.
I tried a factory reset and it worked for some days but it started again this noisy shutdown.
How can I try to restore it?

How old is the battery, do you know how many charging cycles did it have?
What apps do you use? Do you feel the phone heating up before shutting down?
