Guys i have tried a solution worked for me . you can also try.

just shutdown the phone , remove your memory card and batter , keep it for a while and put it back. it should solve.

however before doing this in my case i uninstalled lot of application, kids game , vault and hide it pro (audio manager ).

but i think if i would have tried my first solution it would have worked.

                          I want to share my experience in updation.After installing the firmware given by samsung in my Grand 2 mobile automatically the phone restart once in 2 minutes and touch pad is not working.Moreover I have received only incoming call sound without name display.Then I hand over the phone to Samsung service centre at Villupuram,they said that I have not properly installed the firmware and they tried to reinstall but failed.Now they say the board get spoiled and we will replace the board.So,please take care when you install new KItkate updation in your Grand 2.

                                  I am facing following issues with the kitkat update of grand 2, hope samsung will come out with fixes soon :(

                                  1. Now it become impossible for apps to know my current location without switching ON GPS, now any app can't detect my current location using wifi or mobile network, so to do even very basic tasks you have to switch on GPS every time.


                                  2. Whenever I start using my phone, lock screen is displayed with a lag of 1 second.
