Like the title says, anybody having issues with Samsung's WatchOn randomly force closing?
I tried factory resetting but while setting up the device the phone would seemingly freeze for a couple seconds then WatchOn would FC. While browsing My Magazine, WatchOn would FC randomly while trying to pull up different articles. I wonder if my device is defective or not..
No the friggin notification gets on my nerves. Tried to disable but no joy.

Same here, all day today.
Same here. After I opened it and configured it (WatchOn), it went away.

Haha, that did the trick. I just opened it up, went through the setup and haven't had a FC yet. Crossing fingers. Thanks bud.
I thought I was going to have to do another exchange because of this issue. Ended up just turning WatchOn off in the application manager since I'm not using it anyway. Haven't had a fc since.

you probably just disabled the app. go into app manager and it should be in there.
settings->apps>-all

So I enabled the camera again. Thank you. But it still force closes. When i open it, it just shows a black screen and after a moment it force closes. Did I burn the sensor somehow?

also, I cannot launch the camera from any app like eBay and etc....and even the flashlight widget doesn't work and force closes
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
go back into that app manager and clear the data for the camera app. then try the camera again the normal way (i dunno about ebay apps, ect).
I cleared data. Stopped the app. I did all that but didn't fix the problem. I pulled the battery out and let the phone sit for a few and then turned it on and it worked. Very weird. I wanna try to replicate the problem but I'm scared on a 750 dollar phone with no insurance. It was when I was using paper camera and taking a few pictures that this happened...

don't panic. worst case scenario you can just flash the original image that google provides or any custom roms. you can find plenty of information in the dev section

I have same problem with paper camera. When Im close it app crash and camera stop working...
This problem just occured to me, But I was NOT using Paper Camera.
Camera *AND* GTalk both force close on launch.
I was running CM9 with Franco kernel, latest Gapps. it just occurred randomly on a reboot, no flashes or anything in-between...
anyone else have issues with this?
I'm having issues too. If I turn my phone off while in the camera app, and then turn my phone back on, it gives the error that my camera cannot be found. Only way I know how to fix it is to reboot my phone. I'm running stock 4.0.2, rooted.

I have been using my note2 quite heavily putting it through the paces. I have the unrooted stock AILH rom running.
For some reason it random reboots and gets quite annoying.
When this happens I am heavilt using the following apps and switching back and forth:
Google maps
Chrome with 20 tabs
Connectbot for ssh
A filemanager with sftp
Gmail
...and a few other apps
Anyone else experiencing this?

Same problem here, unrooted phone.
I did 3 factory reset and nothing. The random reboot is still on.
Sometimes from the gallery and from google play..
I don't know what it is. I havent been able to pinpoint the issue.

My gf got an s4 and it has randomly turned off and rebooted. She exchanged the phone once already for other issues but she says both phones were rebooting like this. She said it happens even with no apps from store installed. I thought it would be some kind of incompatible app causing an issue but maybe not. I have this phone and I am not experiencing this problem. Anybody gone through this?

Only time mine did was when i was tethering and charging, not to mention it was approx 85+ degrees. I forgot to put my icepack on it but other than that no i have not had any reboot issues. If you can easily re-create the issue, take it to a Corporate store and show them.
Has happen once with mine while i was on instagram for a bit

So ever since I've gotten the phone (9:00 am yesterday) all my calls have been showing up incorrectly when I am receiving them. I just wanted to know if anybody else has the same issue and what you did to resolve it.

I am so glad someone else is having this issue I've spent most of the day trying to resolve it. Ok, what I know so far:
It only happens on WIFI calling. I've cleared the wifi calling app no dice.
Customer service is unaware of the issue. They said use a different email account. UH NO I've had my gmail since it was in Beta.
I've reset my device twice it comes back after I re-install gmail I think it comes with the restore function I've tried stopping the restore function but it keeps coming back
Let me know if you fix it. I had a note two there may be a correlation
Same thing happens to me but only during wifi calling. No big

Same boat guys. Only happens during wifi calling. Very annoying to tell you the truth. Any help would be appreciated.

Ahh I see so that's what triggers it. I suppose they'll issue a fix once they find out what's causing it

I have a thread on Google + it is somehow tied to wifi calling and to Google contacts sync. Anyway you have to clear the cache partition. Hold down volume up, home and power keys until you see Samsung note 3 then release just power until you are in recovery then chose volume down to clear cache and power button to select then restart you may have to factory reset the device
It seems fixed on my phone but a friend is still having trouble
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Yeah that didn't work for me. I want to try re flashing instead of resorting but it just so happens that Kies doesn't support the note 3 yet.

Hey everyone,
I don't even use My Magazine but it stops responding all the time. Like 3 or 4 times a day. And everything freezes for a few seconds every time it does.
Anyone else hear of this / know of a solution? A friend told me it's a known issue with using the Nova launcher, but I was just searching for this known issue and I can't find a thread about it anywhere.
yes me too I thought it happened after I tried to unintelligible it and other bloat with titanium nd things started force closing so I restored them....wither way though same happens to me

well at least i'm not alone haha. i haven't done anything to try to disable or hide it. i'm not even rooted or anything yet. i just haven't used it since the day i got the phone 2 weeks ago and yet since the past 3 or 4 days it's been popping up not responding at random.
i just started suffering from this problem and i can't fix it. My Magazine freezes and crashes when i'm not even using it and it does this very often. This makes the phone lock up for a couple seconds. Very annoying.

Ditto, I believe it's happening to all note 3s, I remember reading about this same issue weeks ago when I first got my phone

Go to setting - General - Application manager - all - find my magazine - clear data and cache - force stop - restart your phone. This is how I fixed it. I hope it helps you.
Ps: this fixed the crashing issue but it's still very laggy at first start then is good.

Blaster - did what you mentioned, but next day came back! I hope they do an update soon to fix this! It sucks they force this app on us and it is not stable.
