After the ICS update on my non-rooted phone, the phone seems to be freezing
up and becoming unresponsive. After a while it looks like the radio "resets", all
the icons disappear in the top bar (signal, wifi, data) and it shows no service.
Then slowly one by one they all come back and I can use the phone again.
Sometimes I receive the "System is not responding" dialog box, but not always.
There is not one particular program it is doing this in, it can be something as
simple as pulling down the notification bar that will cause the freeze.
Any suggestions are appreciated, I couldn't find anyone else with the same issue.
Thanks.
Try:
Turn off phone
Take out SIM
Put SIM back
Turn on
I've had my phone act weird with respect to signal, wifi and data when this was the issue. Worth a shot, at the very least.

Thank you for the response.
Tried this and had the system is unresponsive issue right on reboot. If I do a
factory reset, does it reset to the current firmware or what was originally on the
phone (probably a really stupid question). I wonder if some other program isn't
ICS compatible and is doing something in the background. Doesn't look like
anyone else is having this same issue.

If you do a factory reset and it was the standard Kies legit update from Tmo, it won't downgrade your phone - will just re-install a fresh copy of your ICS. Did you do a restore of apps from your last version (gb?) with data? That could cause problems I would think..

Yes I did the legit update on Kies, standard stock phone un-rooted.
Do I need to backup pictures before the reset, its been a while since
I had to do this.
At this point, I think its worth a try to wipe it clean and clear out all the
data.

wipe the dalvik cache and cache then reboot
I did a factory reset and that solved the issue.
Thanks for all the assistance.
I've done a factory reset and wiped the cache more than once already and i still get a force close or unresponsive, enough that its really irritating me now. Any advice? And also, when texting, the typing responds very slow.

Are you letting it sit for like 10 minutes during first boot after factory reset then reboot again before setting up. Its likely that some scripts are running from the initial installation and you need to let it rot until its done..
I did exactly that, thanks for the advice. Hoping that may fix the problem. I wiped the cache and factory reset, then let the phone sit for a good while before going through the play store and re-installing everything.
This issue just resurfaced again. The last 2 days I am getting the freezing, radio reboot and android process not responding.
No one else having this issue?
I think I'm in the same boat. I was stock GB, and just did the mini OTA update (which was great). A few days later ICS became available via Kies from T-Mobile, and I "upgraded".
Since the upgrade my phone is laggy, screen is significantly less responsive and also my battery life is less than before.
I have NOT done a factory reset of my phone yes (plan on doing that today), but even with that I have read that performance does not improve.
Ideally, I would love to return back to the stock tmobile gb firmware. However, even after literally 2 hours of reading I can't find the "how-to" and files I need.
I would appreciate any assistance.
t989 chip lags
ive notice this happen on my tmobile galaxy s2. i think it has to do with the Qualcomm chip on tmobiles stock roms.
When i had sprint i bought my girlfriend a galaxy s2 on the sprint network which runs the samsung exynos chip. She never complained about any lag or freezing whatsoever. I then left sprint because of their garbage network and joined tmobile.
bought 2 galaxy s2s and i noticed the lag almost immediately. The phone has random lag spikes as well as freezing and force closes. It had it on stock gingerbread and it has it on stock ICS too.
My girlfriend complains about freezing all the time so i decided to root her phone too. Right now im testing DarkSides v7 rom and if its pretty good in performance i will flash her phone with it too. So far it has been pretty snappy and everything works.

follow that first post. i went through exactly the same problems and found this guide and am now happy again and running stock GB on my Galaxy S2.
Because you are on stock ics (im guessing you are..), you can just follow that guide and flash the UVLDE update.
Yes clock resets to standard standard time.. I already did a factory reset and worked done for a couple weeks. My wife has same phone and she is getting the freeze ups now.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll give it a try. But it really shouldn't be necessary on a phone that's got more going for it than the stock nexus that 1st came out with ics.
There's something else going on.
Sent from, The Eclectic Chair.
Hey guys. I moved up from a Verizon Note 2 to a T-Mobile Note 3 two weeks ago (and switched carriers obviously).
Since then, it has happened that the phone gets stuck and then reboots.
Three times it's happened while scrolling in the 9Gag app, once while in the Play Store and once as I was unlocking the phone using a pattern an e-mail came in and the vibration got stuck for a while and then rebooted.
I've also noticed that if I have WiFi on, Skype logs in fine, if I leave the house so I go on 4G and then come back to WiFi, Skype refuses to see a connection unless I turn off WiFi or reboot the phone.
Then yesterday the entire phone was in landscape mode even though I had auto-rotate enabled, and whether I turned it off and back on, it stayed on landscape mode until I rebooted the phone.
My wife also has a T-Mobile Note 3, bought at the same time. For her it's rebooted only once so far while using Google Maps.
I've had S3, Sprint Note 2, Verizon Note 2, and my wife has had S3 and S4. Now we both got these Note 3s and man, this is way too glitchy. On the Note 2 I went over 2 months once without rebooting the phone. This one has rebooted itself 5-6 times in 2 weeks!
We're updated to KitKat 4.4.2 (OTA) and not rooted or modified in any way (yet). So I'm wondering if it's KitKat that is glitchy, since our phones before weren't on KitKat, or the Note 3s in general, or just my specific Note 3.
Would love any info on this. Thanks.
I would do a master reset. Worst case Odin stock rom. Avoid send in for refurbished one
Def don't root yet. Try and get phone stable first.
TWEAKED N3
If i'm going to wipe, I might as well root. I've rooted and modded all my devices to date. Just when I got to the Note 3 it seemed that things had become considerably harder than on the Note 2...so I chickened out.
EDIT: if you don't mind me doing the noob thing and just asking, what's the easiest way to get root? I don't particularly care about a customized rom, but definitely want system access to get rid of all this bloat and install my customized video ringtone program.

It not harder it more steps and Odin is best. But if you have hardware issues on stock u need to know before root
TWEAKED N3
Yeah, doing it now. Going to go stock but rooted so I can have some control. Maybe later on i'll flash a custom rom when I have time to go through them and see which one suits my style.
Thanks.
I'd suggest doing a factory reset b4 anything, then if that dose not work, use odin and flash kit kat... then if ur issue persist, maybe contact samsung.

I be honest I don't use it and this kk really doesn't drain the battery like job did stock
TWEAKED N3
I haven't noticed any sort of glitches since I've had my N3. Even after putting the jedi ROM on it seems fine. As far as the battery goes, I know there are alot of complaints that kk has killed alot of the life out of it. I haven't noticed a difference in battery life either. It holds a charge all day and some. And greenify is to stop or freeze certain apps that run constantly in the background that could drain the battery. I personally didn't really like the app nor did I need it.

Well, I went on a stock deodexed rom and got on lean kernel for a while... but it's still doing the stuck-and-reboot thing. It's always related to the touch screen, so i'm either scrolling or clicking to open an app or settings within an app. The phone gets momentarily stuck, then full reboot.
How long do I have to get it exchanged in store? I wonder if i'm within that time frame. It's definitely not normal and getting very annoying.
If i'm outside the time to get exchanged in store, what's my next best option?
I have to say that this experience with the Note III has been nothing short of disappointing and nothing like the two Note IIs I had before (different carriers for each, neither broke or gave any problems).
Here's an update for anyone who finds this and is in the same boat.
I had two issues: 1) the power button became so recessed that it's a hassle to turn on/off the screen, 2) the phone kept turning on and off, by the end almost constantly, without any obvious pattern beyond it getting stuck after me touching the screen (i.e. never just up and turned off while being idle).
Because of the recessed power button, T-Mobile shipped me a replacement phone. Should arrive tomorrow.
I still tried troubleshooting the rebooting issue. I think it came down to one or a couple of the following:
1 - Go Weather EX
2 - Freeza's CRT mod
3 - flashable 1% battery mod
4 - bootanimation.zip support flashable script
5 - something in the Deodexed version of the stock KitKat rom
In prepping to take the phone to T-Mobile, I did the return to stock thing with Odin, putting back stock kitkat odex non-rooted rom. The entire afternoon I got not a single reboot. Since I came back home with the phone, I restored a backup I had made before doing the Odin stuff. Back to rebooting.
So I thought, let's go back to the stock experience like I had earlier, and restore my apps through the play store and manually hunt it down.
Now i'm running the stock odexed kitkat rom, rooted, with lean kernel, with a whole bunch of stock apps frozen, and virtually all my apps and not a problem. I avoided 2-4 since those mess with the framework and I thought it could have something to do with it. I removed Go Weather EX because I experienced a reboot once while setting it up as a live wallpaper.
When the new phone arrives tomorrow I'll try to duplicate my current setup and hopefully won't have any more rebooting issues. I hope this helps anyone experiencing the same thing. I know it's kinda convoluted and not very concise, but then again this experience has been nothing short of annoying and confusing.
If any of you are having Lag, slowness, signal issues, bad battery life, etc. and/or other weird glitches after the lollipop update you need to factory reset your phone.
This is a know bug with updating from Kitkat to lollipop. It has happened on many devices, Nexus 5, nexus 7, Shield tablet, N910A etc.
Just factory reset your phone and re-set it up and most if not all of the problems will be gone.
From my brief understanding it has to do with some downloaded apps not switching from davlink to ART correctly during the OTA process. Facebook on my shield tablet was a notorious culprit.
Just an FYI hope it helps a few people out.

We did have one person factory reset to attempt to solve the "heart rate light turning on" bug, and it did not solve the problem.
Have you noticed this bug or used S Health yet?
One list I always go through is: update, update all apps, boot into recovery, wipe cache, and reboot twice. Works great and I know a bunch of others see similar results

Luckily I was already running ART prior to the update to 5.0.1, so I haven't seen any of these issues yet, and hope none crop up. :good:
Luckily I haven't had any of the glitches a few people have mentioned. However, my friend with an S5 needed to factory reset hers after being pushed the lollipop update and it smoothed everything out. Just like when flashing a ROM guys...starting fresh helps a lot.
Anytime there is a major change to an OS, whether it be on my PC/Mac or my phone, I always factory reset and start over. ALWAYS. Too many little bugs and quirks pop up in software upgrades for me to waste my time with that stuff. I'd always rather start fresh...plus then I can weed out the apps I don't use anymore.
As an old habit, I always do a system reset after a major upgrade. I did the same with this upgrade and it has been running pretty smooth for me.
I am now experiencing lag in a bunch of places, yet I did a factory reset.

I did this right here cause I noticed my battery was draining a good amount when the phone wasn't being used. After this and a full charge, the phone went back to how it was before.
I wiped cache and factory reset 3 times and I haven't experienced any of the aforementioned issues.

This is what I did. I had absolutely no issues with the update.
The minor issue is the quick note app pops up very slowly. But that is fairly minor, and not significantly different from kitkat.
factory reset
I rebooted a couple of times after the update, and wiped cache in recovery. Still experienced lag all over the place, especially w/ the dialer. I factory reset last night and it's been running more smoothly since.
Has anyone noticed that when booting into recovery, it says "installing system updates"? I even got a message, before the recovery screen popped up, that "no command found". After that popped up briefly, the phone went into recovery and all seemed fine.

This update to lollipop on the note 4 has been the best update experience that I've had on any phone. Love it. And yes, factory reset solved many issues that were honestly minor and I really didn't feel I had to, but I did bc I'm crazy. ..but it was worth it.
Back up phone via kies, I am impressed it worked great.

I'm going to try this again. I've already done it before but hopefully this will fix my problem.
On 4.4 I went 2 days with heavy usage. It was insane! I use my phone a ton at work for RDP, videos, and other IT related stuff. Now I can barely go 1 good full day.... Really hope this fixes it.
My update went well without any troubles, but now I am few weeks into using Lollipop and I definitely notice faster battery drain. I also have disappearing icons, just like others complained (Google Hangout and Phone icon disappeared).
I'm not experience a lot of major issues....but I did do a recovery reset....but I reinstalled via kies. I'm planning on doing a recovery flash again....but this time I'm not going to have it install the apps.

I'm not experiencing this I'm actually getting very good battery life. Don't know if you have disabled the system apps you don't use???
Also something I always used to do when I had the T-Mobile note 4 rooted of course, I always disabled Samsung push services it was always recommended. Don't know if it would make any difference but you can give it a shot.
I have all the apps I don't use disabled and it still hasn't been helping. I'm thinking about calling ATT and getting an exchange

The only issue is a not so good battery life but it's been fixed by using airplane mode at home where I literally have no signal and depend on WiFi calling anyway.
If you had to update via OTA then I suggest you re-flash the stock ROM as that doesn't seem to have issues while the OTA might have introduced a few

Okay cool I'll give it a try. On another note though it appears to have been hardware issues. My GPS was broken so it kept seeking location which dropped my battery way down. It also just couldn't find my location. I have cleared cache and done all that jazz with it and even used GPS Fix to no avail. So far this new replacement seems to be doing the job.
I'll take a look at not doing the OTA.

You should do the ota, but then clear cache and reset to factory afterwards.

Just to clarify once you do the ota update you will want to power off the phone and then hold the volume up + home button + power button. Once booted into clear cache and then do a factory reset.

Just my two cents, I think this is a memory leak issue. I've seen the phone start to get bogged down but with a quick restart, the smoothness returns as it should. I'm hoping that 5.1 will fix this memory leak.

Helped clear up a lot of things for many people. My main issue was fast battery drain. Seems to be a lot better now. I'm a pretty heavy user so this helped me.

I need some help guys. I received the OTA update from Sprint with my stock firmware and it totally made my phone unusable. It keeps freezing and then rebooting. I have tried everything i can think of but nothing helps.
I did i full factory reset about 3 times. 2x with the zerolemon battery i was using for the last 2 years. Then another factory reset using the stock battery that came with the phone, which didn't get used more than about 5 recharge cycles before I replaced it with the zerolemon one.
After that I thought i could undo the patch but as you guys know the QI5 firmware is not backward compatible so am i kind of screwed? I have tried rooting and loading a custom rom, the CMDMOTO is the only one I tried since it seemed to work for others using the Qi5, but i still have the same issue.
I am a bit new to the rooting world but i have been reading up to figure out my problem, any suggestions? I have TWRP, super user and titanium backup.
Thanks

I guess for some reason the last patch changed something that made the cpu go inactive or sleep much more frequently or something like that.
If anyone knows how to correct this let me know. It seems that this was actually a very common problem with the other variants of the note 4 it just took a while to get to this version. I wonder if anyone else was having this issue with the N910P.
Cheers
Have you tried booting to recovery and wiping the cache partition? If it falls asleep and freezes that points to a kernel issue if I'm not mistaken. Wiping cache will NOT delete any of your data. Hold Volume Up, Home, and power til the phone turns on and you see some yellow/blue/red text in the upper left corner then release. Try wiping cache and see if it helps

When I did the factory wipe from the 3rd time onward I always wiped the cache and all other options that were available. As long as i keep the wakelock app active the phone does not freeze up and/or shut down but it is draining my battery pretty fast. I am thinking it has something to do with the phone going to deep sleep and unable to come out of it properly. I am playing around with 'Kernel Auditor ' to see if i can find a setting that will fix this issue. I am almost convinced it has something to do with the cpu clock states and Deep sleep not working correctly anymore.
I personally am a fan of 3c Toolbox for most of my diagnostic needs. Theres a free version available, check under the cpu manager tab for whatever info is relevant to you. Example..it will tell you live cpu frequencies/load, live power usage, wakelocks, all sorts of goodies
Have you tried to ODIN a factory .tar image?
sammobile dot com has the QI5 image. Just make sure tou grab the sprint one and not the unknown carrier version.

Thank you so much for posting this work around! My Wife's Note 4 has been working great for over a year, she bought it used. Then a few weeks ago a bunch of updates were pushed to it and it just started to act up.
I narrowed it down to always occurring after the phone was idle for more then an hour or so and started to look for a clue if this may be a known issue so your work around makes a lot of sense.
It does appear to be an issue with Googles 6.0.1 OS version since my BlackBerry Key 1 also received a bunch of updates but its fine.
