Samsung Galaxy S4: Phone Freezing:

Hello..

1. Let's take out the battery from the back of the phone..

Do either one of these:
(to dissipate any remaining energy in the phone)

With the battery out of the device, wait for 30 seconds..
OR:
With the battery out of the device, hold down the power button for a few seconds

After that time, we want to see if we can do something to help your phone out.. so let's wipe the cache partition which will remove any temporary system files.. sometimes clearing this helps your present phone use:

simultaneously (at the same time) do this:
Hold down the power button, the up volume key, and the home button, until you see a few words at the top of the screen that are blue.. once you see that take your finger off the power button, but keep pushing down the up volume button and the home button at the same time.. until you see the little green android

if it says it is updating the phone, let it update.. it maybe install a patch on your phone..

when you see a bunch of lines of words you are where you need to be

BE CAREFUL what you select
if you are not reading what you select you can wipe your whole phone deleting all your data

use the volume keys to scroll up or down.. but for right now we want to go down the list, so use the down volume button on the left side of the phone..

scroll down to:
"wipe cache partition"

just above it will be to factory reset the whole device.. this is the dangerous one.. this is why i want you to be aware of what you are selecting.

once, you highlight
"wipe cache partition"
use the power button to select this
wait for the phone to finish which should take 1 second..

then, tap the power button once more..
(the highlight will be on reset device)
to reset the phone.. it will power off, then power back on

the issue why it froze, could be anything software related.. it is mostly caused by User Error or an App error. it could be an app that didn't play well with something.. so check your downloaded apps by uninstalling the last one you installed to see if that helps.. (process of elimination).. it could also be if you were downloading or updating something and you interrupted the transmission causing the phone to freeze

The ultimate solution to make your phone stop freezing.. The only best way to do this is to Factory Reset your phone, then put everything back in the way you had it before or the way you want it now.. that means installing apps, re inputting settings you want, etc

Note: you will lose any databases inside of Apps unless they have their own cloud accounts that you can log into which saves your data online.. No? then you can't save them. consider anything like auto login password settings, game levels or anything in-game purchased like gems or armour, scores, etc lost after a factory reset.

Make sure you backup any photos, music files, documents, etc before Factory Resetting..

You can do that using Samsung Kies software if you have a computer:

If you have a spare Samsung Galaxy phone, use Smart Switch to make a duplicate of your phone
Samsung Smart Switch Transfer Contacts Music and More
and then after the factory reset on the s4, use Smart Switch to move everything back to your phone..

(Tip: keep the backup phone with your stuff on it, until you can verify the switch went as planned.)

Hello i have an HP windows 7 i turned it on and it goes to blue hp screen and freezes up

A blue screen error usually comes up on Windows 7 when there is a serious hardware or software issue that may be causing Windows to Shut Down unexpectedly. At times, a message may also come up on your screen saying "Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer."

To troubleshoot this issue, you may need to try out multiple troubleshooting options to detect whether the issue is with your hardware or software and to resolve the same as per the recommended procedure.

To know more about your troubleshooting options to get rid of blue screen error, you need to refer to the following Microsoft and HP support pages:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-in/windows7/resolving-stop-blue-screen-errors-in-windows-7
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?cc=us&lc=en&docname=c00372711#N182

The above troubleshooting steps may also help you to resolve the freezing issue. If they don't, please let us know so that we can suggest you additional troubleshooting options for the same.

What do i do to stop my phone from freezing?

Try taking the battery and SIM card out of the phone. After doing so conduct a series of inspection on the back of the phone. After if it passes, put the battery and SIM card back in to the phone. It should stop freezing. If not contact a professional immediately.

Why do i have an intermittent problem with my laptop freezing up during startup? startup?

You may have a bug. You may start by going to control panel and see how many programs are trying to start up at the same time. When my laptop does that I normally go to the control panel and stop programs and keep them from turning on at start up. you really dont need all programs to start up at the same time. This may cause freezing and longer times to start at start up.

My palm treo pro keeps freezing lately, when i would start writing a text and press the space bar in the 3rd time i would punch it, it will completely go to the menu screen and i canoot hear music or go to...

Most likely, a program that you have installed is causing your Palm to freeze up. If you remember installing a program when the freezing started, delete the program and check if it keeps freezing.

Radio was "freezing" now will not work.

Your radio is knackered time for a new one there is no quick fix that I know of its most likely internal. Try purchasing a new one at wholesale from this site. Dont play full price and get an install kit here and do it yourself!
