Since updating to 4.4.2 KitKat, my screen freezes often, especially when the screen shuts off and goes into the lock screen. In order to fix it, I have to take the battery out and put it back in for it to work properly until the next time. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there any way to fix it?

Did you flash a custom kernel?

I would do a factory reset and a clean install. Might have been a bad download.

It was an OTA update. No downloading or flashing

I have a rooted unlocked tmo galaxy s3, currently running infamous 4.5. Haven't had any problems with it until today, twice now it's frozen upon rotation. Anyone else having this problem? Either with or without this rom, thanks in advance...

Turn off screen rotation lol problem solved

Need more info; it could be a kernel issue, an app issue, or a user error on the way you installed the rom...
Followed Jamison's instructions to the letter, full wipe, 3x for everything, with the kernel in his rom, I did turn off screen rotation for now, no problems since. Doesn't matter what app is running at the time, home screen, gmail, and messenger are what froze. It's didn't do it on 4.4, just on 4.5. Anything else that might ad helpful, let of know.

The only other option I would suggest is redownload and rewipe everything and don't restore stuff.
I'm using the same ROM and tried rotate with many different apps and experienced no lock ups. I too suggest you reflash again with full wipe

I'll try that later on, and like I said, only freezes if it times out while rotated to one of the sides

Oh ok didn't catch that, but I just tried it and let the screen time out with a few apps open while in landscape and nothing happened

Think I figured it out, I'm using the aosp lock screen and somehow the ripple effect got turned back on, was still freezing after wipe, let's see if this works. Lol. Tested it a few times and no freezes yet.

Yeah that was it, having ripple enabled with aosp lock screen gives problems

Hi guys. Thanks for helping me get my note 2 up again. Now a problem that had been with my phone for a long time; the phone goes off by itself, even when it's on top of a desk untouched. Sometimes it goes off when it's charging and someone's when it's in my pocket.
I have to press the start button for like ten seconds to boot it; otherwise I remove the battery and replace it then press the start button like normal.
I tried flashing new factory roms to no avail; problem persists.
Other thanthis issuethe phoneworks verywell. What can I do to get this phone to work properly?
Thanks guys.

Maybe but I have no idea. How could one solve this problem if it happens to be the one?

From your description it can't be a simple loosened battery, I think its hardware related since flashing new roms dousnt work. You still have warranty?

Nope. .. no warranty here.

I received by note 3 2 days ago and some of my apps keep force closing. Has anybody else run into this issue? I'm currently all stock

I've been running into the same issue mines all stock as well. It happens randomly and just becomes a blue screen, the only way I get out of it is to restart my phone.

I've had tons of freezing issues, on the lock screen, force closes with apps and unresponsive home button. I'm on my second Note 3 and starting to think it's poor execution of software. If it helps, I disabled my magazine and a bunch of samsung apps. If you are in app launcher and click and hold an app you can 'disable' it and essentially works the same as Titanium Backup Freeze method (without rooting ofcourse).
I've found that to help a bit. I don't know if the lock screen freezing was due to the s view case just yet. But I'm trying to hold out getting a third replacement if I can.

So you were able to have your phone replaced because of this issue? Was it through T-Mobile or Samsung?

Okay so I was using my phone and it suddenly turned off and when I attempted to turn it back on it would show me the galaxy s4 screen and turn off right away. Does anyone know why this is happening? Every time I try turning it on it does that. I tried booting into recovery and no go idk what else to do. Any help is appreciated.
Have you tried a battery pull? Then some charging.

Thanks everyone for all your help @TheSickness was correct I'm debating if I should upgrade to an s5.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The S5 finger print is a major target for hackers to steal your identity. Just saying, if you upgrade, make sure you don't goof up. I'm almost afraid to upgrade to the S5, been thinking of getting a note again. But really IDK. Maybe I'll keep my S4 and get a tablet or a kindle. Something to do my desktop website development work on.

Take out the battery and put it back in. If it tries to power on by itself you have a faulty power button.

Cool! If it begins to happen again, Odin flash the firmware and factory reset. If its software related this should take care of it.
Thanks, I will let u know what happens
