[GALAXY S4] BUG THREAD!! Found a bug?

[troshs]

There are a lot of apps that don't play well with KitKat yet. They need to be optimized more....which is annoying because KitKat has been out for months now...

Not sure if this is the right place to put this, but I lost all of my wifi settings and passwords. This coincided with a period where wifi wouldn't switch on at all.

Hello! As a user of a Galaxy S4 i want to present you my problem. 1st of all let me say that after 5 months of using Samsung Galaxy S4, I have not problems at all! I can say easy that it s the best phone who passed from my hands and so on. Already saw many problems from users in time and i m very happy that i m cursed at the moment.(Let s hope it)
This is what happen when i put my smartphone, on my laptop! (I just let it near to the keyboard)

I notice that sound was disabled also. The only solution to get out of this was to turn it off and then turn it on again. I tryed to do that again to be sure that isn t a problem from the laptop etc. Well i tryed 5 times and i saw it again, let s say 4/5.
Tell me your opinion about it. I m not sure but i m afraid for my both devices. My laptop isn t so old, almost 2 years old.
Here are the specs of my laptop if you need to know about them. it might helps.

Company : Packard Bell
Model : EasyNote LV
OS : Windows 7 x64 Home Edition
Cpu : Intel Core i3-2370M
Gpu : Nvidia GeForce GT 630M 1GB
Ram : 4 GB DDR3
500 GB HDD
etc...

What i found about it :
I ask a friend that he use to know thing like that and he said that my laptops video card it s ready to die.

Let me say you also that i use to play in this laptop some games not so heavy but i use photoshop and sony vegas 11, 4 hours per day.
I have not a virus or something like that...

Glad to recive a help as soon as possible!

I have the s4 and when I plug my phone in at night and leave it charge until I wake up I unplug it at 96-98% when before I unplug it the phone shows 100%...why is that? I usually don't plug it in until it reaches 25% or lower. This is annoying.

Anyone know why this is happening?

Just got the kit kat update this morning. It seems I don't have sound for my texts or swipe to unlock my screen. Weird??? Anyone else?

Do a factory reset. Make sure to back up your data before you do that.

My phone took a couple of random screenshots the other day, also a couple of times it said sim card removed and I had to restart it. Any ideas why?

Has anyone encountered instances in Kitkat where the samsung messaging app freezes for several seconds?

This only happens to me when you hit the 'back' key to move from a message thread back to the main messaging window (where you see the list of message threads with your contacts)

I've done several factory resets and cache partition wipes but no good. I have not tried not restoring my messages though. Not sure if the old messages could be causing this problem. Was never an issue in 4.2.2

 

[Bullseyed]

I've been having an odd issue. I can't find it on Google searches, so maybe I'm the only one. Randomly when I exit an app, another running app literally runs as the background of my phone. I can interact with the app, but my home screen icons are sitting on top of it. It is almost kinda cool as a feature, but annoying. Shutting the screen off and on fixes the problem, as does opening or force closing the running app.

Can someone help me? I did not even "Shortcut" in the "ScreenLock". Android version: 4.4.2 (GT-I9505 Samsung Galaxy S4). ! I do not know if it is bug or not, but who can help me please. Thanks!

 

[berdploo]

hi guys, im experiencing this problem with my S4(19505) it automatically turns on my data connection even when im on a wifi zone. can someone help me with this.
TIA!

 

[Marcel Steenkamp]

My screen flashes when im in an area with bad reception. If I have an Edge connection, if would flash while I type something and will hide my keyboard while typing. Very frustrating when im in a chat app. Just happened now... sigh. It shows the same timer screen as you would get when you have a flip cover, and I dont have one! Fixes or suggestion? Please help!

Not sure if this has been addressed because I'm not gonna read through 19 pages of replies, but I know many people have the problem from kit kat that the camera no longer saves to sd card only device. If you have this particular problem there is an easy fix.

1. Unmount sd card and remove it
2. Access the sd card from a computer
3. Change folder named DCIM to something else like DCIM_old
4. Put sd card back in phone and mount it
5. Open up your camera and change the save location to sd card
6. Take a picture.

This creates a new DCIM folder that the camera can now access

GPS Confused by Google Play Services

Some time in the middle of August (2014) the GPS on my GS4 became intermittently inaccessible. Most of the time apps like Maps, Yelp, GPS Test, etc. just couldn't turn GPS on. Occasionally it would turn on, and even get a fix, but the icon in the notification bar kept flashing.

By trial and error I found that a Force stop on Google play services would get the GPS acting normally again for a while. I did an Uninstall updates on Google play services, and now the GPS works normally all the time.

Apps occasionally whine about needing Google play services, but I haven't noticed anything not working.

Running Android 4.4.2 on a Verizon Galaxy S4, currently on T-Mobile but it fails on Verizon too. I did a factory reset and reload and it still fails. Fiddling with Location Mode doesn't change anything. Google Location Reporting is off.

Any ideas for a more graceful workaround?

Anyone else seeing this?

Any place I can go for official support?

After the last update, my music player goes crazy! When am listnening music and i press pause, after when i go music folder song is starting from beginning!??? Help please!

 

[UtahExplorer]

Since the 4.4.4 update on my ATT S4:
Music info from the current track will not change when played over bluetooth to something that can display track info,(i.e. car radio) the info from the first track that I started stays static as the tracks change.
(I could not find this in the search, but I'll admit I might have missed it if some one else said this already.)

The below are all the bugs I have found after upgrade to Lollipop
Model : Samsung Galaxy S4 I9500 ( Old edition) , India

1. Battery Drain, Device Overheats -> only when phone display is on

2. Contacts app crashes frequently -> no reason

3. Touchwiz UI crashes too very frequently when ever touchwiz will crash my home screen wallpaper is gone,

4. Issues with logging into device when setup a password,

5. Keyboard disappear when we are in middle of typing a text -> happens when we use messaging app, whatsapp and hangouts

6. Ringtone volume will decrease autoamtically even though the mobile is locked -> happening often when disable the mobile data/bluetooth/wifi then we reproduce the same ( set ur ringtone volume to full then enable mobile data/wifi/bluetooth/ launch games like candy crush then wait for few mins then go back and check ur ringtone volume it should have been automatically decrease the volume level to low.
