I had the exact same problem and it was driving me crazy!It was a app I had recently installed...just uninstall your most recent apps that you've downloaded.My phone is completely back to normal.
Quick glance password bug
Using the 'quick glance' air gesture when the screen is off causes my phone to become password locked. Let me explain...
My phone is currently encrypted and password protected. However, because the phone sits on my desk most of the day, I have set the 'lock automatically' setting to 30 minutes and screen timeout to 30 seconds. So After 30 seconds of no activity, my screen is off. But if I push the home button within 30 minutes, the phone is active with no need for entering the password.
Now, with the screen off, and still within the 30 minutes, I use the air gesture to get a glance of the time and any messages. Once the screen is off again, I press the home button. But now it asks for my password. So whenever I use quick glance and let the screen go off again, the phone ignores the 30 minutes for locking automatically, and instead locks immediately.

Re: Quick glance password bug
I've had my s4 since launch and the light unlock animation became dreadfully boring after a while. When I changed to 'no unlock effect' after around a couple hours it started to go really small. It's quite annoying and you can really only see it if you move your finger. Is anyone else having this problem??

When using the Bluetooth in my car & the S-View cover, Voice command does not work unless the flap of the cover is open ...
Sometimes when I record a voice recording or a video there are several crackle/popping sounds at the beginning of the recording. I thought it was because my hand was touching one of the mics but it still does it even if I'm not holding the phone. It seems to do it if I haven't recorded anything recently but if I try recording a couple of videos one after another it is silent. The crackle sounds happen like "pop pop pop.....pop...pop" and then the rest of the video is fine for as long as you record.
Forgot to mention that in the Voice Recorder app, after you press the record button you can see the mic level jumping up and down even though the room is dead silent.

I frequently get a "Google Play services has stopped" error message. The phone frequently lags just before these messages pop up. I've been scouring the internet for the past 4 hours trying to figure it out. I've done literally everything I can find. I've rebooted, pulled the battery, factory reset, disabled certain apps, re-enabled others, unmount the SD card, and I just cannot find the solution ANYWHERE. It's really getting on my nerves. On top of this, apps won't install. When I go to download an app, it will download the information, but it never installs it and it just sits there. It doesn't even say it's installing it, it gets stuck at the download bar and never goes to the next stage. I'm on a rooted Verizon Galaxy S4 with stock ROM. I have tried EVERYTHING, and it's really pissing me off. I've looked at countless different forums and can't find the answer anywhere.
If I can't get this fixed, I'm going to have to undo my root and get a new phone, because this is just ridiculous. People without root have had the same problem too.

Not sure if this would be called a bug or lack of feature...
Just got the S4 5 days ago.
I noticed when I have phone the locked (I'm using a pattern and have the clock showing instead of the personal message). I noticed it's possible to change setting under "Clock" (Dual clock, Clock size, Show date and Owner information. I know it's maybe not the greatest of security concerns (yet) but why would we want to allow someone to change anything on our phone when it's locked? Am I missing something as I do not see a way to disable the editing of this when the phone is locked.

Not necessarily a bug, more along the lines of a widget you can edit without going through your settings I suppose. There's no way to breach the device beyond that so rest assured, you are safe. Also, if you set it to swipe you can access your notification panel without unlocking your phone

Umm yea the only problem I have had is the 906 error it wont let me download or update anything from the google play store
some of the things that are fixed on my phone
1. Galary app is working flawless for the past 3-4 weeks. No crashes etc
2. Battery on roaming is pretty good now
3. Bluetooth is consistently connecting (it still disconnects and automatically reconnects - very rare though)
4. Dont have the heating issue around the battery and the camera now.
5. Eye scroll works brilliantly now (even with my prescription glasses).
Other improvements
1. still dont like the stock headset for music - the base is too low (despite any setting - apple headset is pretty awesome)...but i like this headset for calls...pretty sharp (after setting up 'adapt sound') - but this is a hardware issue so cant do much
2.Call drops due to network loss - very occasional (i only had this for 2 days in the 3 months i've had this phone. randomly happens - cant figure what causes it.
3. My pet peeve with S4 - awesome camera but too slow to operate (hate the lag when the camera boots and stores after click). Still looking for a S/w update to fix this or the Android 4.3 update will fix it.
Overall - pretty happy with the phone!
just ordered my dualtek case !

Yesterday, for the second time since purchasing my S4 on April 28, I've went thru another USB cord. It wont charge without wiggling the cord. This happened two week after I originally purchased the phone also. I returned it back to my local store and now the replacement is DOA. Could it possibly be my phone shorting the cords or just bad luck? I have backups I used to test that the cord is faulty. I've even tested it on other phones. Just looking to see if anyone else is have he same problems.

I think I found a bug. I have 2 AT&T S4's and both do the same thing. I'm in the Chicago area. When I use the world clock option in the clock, I have Chicago GMT-6 and then I added Oslo Norway GMT +1 But the time shown for Oslo is only 6 hours ahead not 7. I selected Stockholm also GMT+1 it does show the correct time. I installed a different world clock and it displayed the correct times.
Noticed a few things and its really killing me. First whenever i lock the screen it unlocks randomly.. i dont have any form ofpassword on it but its really irritating .second even though the scren rotate is off it still turns especially during games like hill climb etc i dunno what to do
