Stock Performance - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5

So far in the last few days I have have major lag when doing assorted things. Taking pictures, using stock messaging app and a couple other instances. I have also had the messaging app get bugged out and I was not able to type my text message. Another thing I noticed was freezing. Anyone else having issues like this or is it time to send this for a replacement.>?????

Probably typical TouchWiz nuisance, before you throw the panties in the wad factory reset. Start from the beginning. That replacement you might want, might already be a refurbished one that actually had some real issues

browser resetting?

When I press home and go and check my email or anything else, and return to the browser...it returns to the homepage. It does this everytime. It's pretty annoying. I've never run into this on my Inspire 4G. It's like its force closing when I press the home button.
Help?
I noticed this earlier as well on mine.
I think ill just have her use Dolphin. Its what i use anyways.
Same here. I ended up using dolphin.

Anyone found anything on this, maybe a fix?
Its my girlfriend's phone and she says, its fine. I informed her that there are other browsers and changes you can make. Her previous phone...iPhone 4.
She isn't used to Android, and I believe doesn't care enough. Thank god I made the switch before I was brainwashed too.

I exchanged my note under the warranty for that exact same reason. The new note did the same thing. It will even do it with dolphin browser eventually sometimes, though not quite as often. Ever since I rooted it and started using cm9 and AOKP with ics+ browser, it hasn't happened again.
I wish she would let me root it. Lol
I have run several ICS roms on my Inspire and I told her she would love CM9. I guess ill just have to wait for the official ICS update for the Note.

I noticed this as well. Good thing is, it's not an issue with ICS.
I honestly can't say this has happened to me using dolphin (which I installed immediately after purchasing the note)

I think it has to do with using more than one browser. If you use dolphin, I think it takes over the allotted usable memory for browsers and wipes the other browser's pages out.
I keep checking every other day or so for.the official update, no luck yet.

It is a very annoying issue. I was holding out on rooting, but I gave in and rooted. Now I use ics+ browser. This doesn't happen anymore. I wonder what the problem is with it when it is stock?
well Dolphin HD and Chrome beta dont do that and are way better than the stock browser
they are free so should check them out

Anyone else's DNA freezing, rebooting?

I've had the DNA since 11/21 and I'm surprised more people are not complaining about the phone freezing up and rebooting?
I saw the other post about DNA problems and he mentioned Chrome causing the problem. My DNS froze running Chrome as well so I uninstalled that but it still freezes up when I am in the Mail and Gmail application. It does not happen with a certain action in any application so I am not sure why it keeps freezing up and then rebooting.
I do not have a lot of apps but I am using UCCW, Simi Battery Widget, and Android Pro Widgets on my homescreens. Other than those widgets I pretty much only use the Internet browser, camera, phone, Play Music, and Facebook.
Is anyone else having the same problem with their DNS randomly freezing and rebooting?
I don't think it's a phone issue, but more of an app issue? Remember not all apps are truly compatible with this phone as of yet. Sure, you might be able to download the app you want, but it may not play nice with this new device. I say start fresh, do a factory reset, and add apps all over again. I tend to stay away from apps like UCCW, BW, and so on as I think those are not really ready for this phone. Of course I could be wrong though?
If the problem occurs after the factory reset, I say exchange it for a new one, and hope it's a good phone.
Good Luck!
I discovered the same thing yesterday but luckily I was able to duplicate back to Any.DO. So I just step carefully around the app where it works.
I am using Power Widget and Beautiful Widgets on my home screen with no issues so far.
I would take the previous posters recommendations.

I guess it's just me then. Thanks for the replies.
I just thought it was weird because I really don't run that many apps and like minimal style homescreens. I had the Galaxy Nexus and used to run all different types of ROMs (CM10, AOKP, Jelly Belly, Paranoid Android, etc.) (4.1, 4.1.2, 4.2) and I never had an issue with that phone freezing up like the DNA.
No problem here

I have two DNA's, picked them up on 11/21. As of yet neither have had any issues, even the batteries have performed better than expected. I actually ditched the razr maxx hd. Maybe its a manufacturer issue, exchanging it shouldn't be an issue.

I saw the demo at the Verizon store randomly reboot for no apparent reason. This was early on the day it was released, and I don't think they had added any apps yet. I clenched my teeth and bought it anyway. So far, so good.

Has anyone had a problem with contacts and apps disapearing on your electronic devices lately??? Lots of Google related stuff disapearing.

if you are rooted, you can delete system apps using titanium, root explorer, etc, etc.
Personally, if a brand new phone is having reboots after a hard reset, it would be getting exchanged.

Why did you ditch the RAZR?
I am considering the DNA or the Razr as my next unit.
i have been dealing w/the reboots and freezing now more and more each day. sucks i'm not sure wats causing this to happen.i'm rooted and still on stock jellybean..could it be a kernel or something cause this really didnt start to happend til i changed kernels.
the only i noticed is a few of my apps were not compatible. some apps will run until i select a certain action then fc. some apps start but then shut right down. these apps just arent for the dna yet its ok delete and repeat lol
99% chance Its your kernel. The guys are doing a great job with the new kernels, but only one has been truly stable. DSB's first kernel is the only stable one I am aware of (aside from stock). I am currently on his 1.2.5 and it seems stable, but not 100% sure just yet.

Messaging app initially flashes contact numbers then names

Hey guys,
I was wondering if anyone else was having this issue/maybe knows a fix. A lot of times, when I go into my Messaging application, the contact names initially show up as their numbers...then switch back to the names. It seems like the app 'refreshes' itself.
I used to have this issue on Android a while ago, but it seems like something this simple shouldn't be happening with 2GB of RAM and a quad core processor.
Not a deal-breaker by any means; it's just an annoyance.
Nobody? This is becoming increasingly annoying on a device that otherwise has wonderful performance.

I've been having the same weird issue... Like you said though, just a minor annoyance.

It seems to me like the application isn't staying in memory and has to refresh every time you open it.

yea this is a bit annoying but I think I remember this happening on my Thunderbolt as well. Hopefully this can be fixed with an update
Same here. Like its not caching or something.

Pretty sure its a sense issue. Get this on my rezound as well, and also in the call history, and caller id (phone number only sometimes).
I have the same issue which is why I stopped using the default messages app.

Help me to understand the problem

Hi,
I have been using padawan v9 from so long and never had any issue. Today, my phone is reeboting often and really hot. Anyone has any idea why? problem started when i was using firefox browser. Thankyou wonderful people
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Well I find heat comes from under the camera on the back after heavy data usage, so that's normal for me.
Reboots might be from heavy usage from browser causing overwhelming processor usage forcing the phone to reboot. I get it sometimes from my YouTube app.
Anyway, I don't think that there are any real issues in my opinion, just a few day to day problems.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda app-developers app
Seems like working good again. Don' t want to change this rom. Probably the browser might have done it. Thanks

Random reboot / restart

Have had my GS4 for 2 days and loving it. Today though I was opening a web page (Weather Channel) in the stock browser and the GS4 rebooted. Hoping it was just some glitch. Will be carefully monitoring the situation over the next few days. Searched other sites and found others who complained about this issue but no real consensus as the cause or solution (other than getting a replacement, sometimes the new one had the same issue). Anyone here on VZW had this also?

happen to me once when downloading a bunch of apps from the playstore.. I wouldn't look into too much unless it's constantly rebooting.
Well it just happened again simply viewing / opening the browser. Everything is stock
