I am continuing to have this issue as well. I've tried the factory reset and it works for anywhere from one to three days, then begins the Contacts crash every time the phone/dialer is opened. I have found a way to clear it without the factory reset. Any dialer/contact app (I used Contacts+) that allows you to clear the recent call log will do. Clear the call log with the other app and then uninstall the app and you should be good to go for a few days. I am going to try keeping the additional app to see if it returns. I wish there was an easier way to clear the recent call list but since the original keeps freezing, this is all I can come up with. Is everyone having this issue on verizon?

I updated to 4.3 then factory reset, now all my songs show double and the ringtone I used for texting which was join hangouts isn't on the ringtones list. Any ideas how to fix?

For those with rocket player issues...I contacted the developers today...they sent me this link

No Sound in Rocket Player | JRT Studio

While their suggestion of toggling the eq on and off didn't work, turning the eq off completely did work for me.

Hope this helps someone.

I updated my GS4 to Android 4.3 this afternoon and ever since my Samsung Music Player keeps popping up in my notification panel ready to play a song. I exit out of it and within 15-20 minutes it will show up again. I've closed it in Task Manager and restarted my phone and it keeps coming back up. Also, it shows up on my lock screen in place of the clock when it pops up. I've never even used the music player on this phone so I have no idea why this is happening.

 

[cassanovaan2000]

I have the same problem. That music player is driving me crazy.
Also when I'm connected to my wifi I cant play any online video on youtube or facebook, and I can't use Pandora either.it works fine when I'm on my carrier's network.
That update is annoying ...
If somebody could help it will be great ...

I spoke to Samsung Tech Support last night after my phone had the same issue with the Phone App after 3 resets. She suggested that I go to a Best Buy ( with a Samsung Experience booth) and have them re-flash the OS. She said since Verizon pushes out the update over the network that sometimes it does not complete and issues pop up. The reset does just that, it does not re-flash the OS...

 

[Jim Morrone]

Did not work.. but since I was still in the return period they set me up with a new S4. By the time I got home it was already installing the update. Let's see what happens this time...
stay tuned.

Wicked was so frustrating thanks dude!

I got the update this morning after forcing it by deleting the data from google framework services. so far everything is running smooth. I did have to reset some of my app settings but other than that it's been ok. No factory reset just a restart of the phone when the upgrade was completed. Then one more restart just for kicks and grins.

Updated yesterday.
Today I discovered that 2 out of 3 S Health widgets were missing, both in their page and in the widget list page.
Is it possible to bring them back?

Why is it that i bought the phone, and yet i HAVE TOO HAVE the apps that they WANT me to have, I should be able to decide what i want or dont want on MY phone. i repeat MY PHONE.

 

[mnorelli]

Yes, same problem here.

...press the home key, the folder stays open. It doesn't automatically close like before, I have to press home key again to close folder. It's very annoying, anyone else seeing the same issue?

 

[THEPRFCT10]

A new one for me now after the update: "Google+" stopped working pops up all the time. So freaking annoying.

Having issues getting the 4.3 update on my completely stock, never rooted, mf3, ATT Samsung Galaxy S4 (SGH-I337). I un-froze all apps and have advanced the date multiple times and still have had no luck. I'm located in central NY.

Any suggestions on what else I could try???

You don't want 4.3 trust me. Just read all the forum threads!

Set your date up a few days, that's how I got the update.
