The daily RXTE monitoring of the black-hole candidate GX 339-4 showed in the past few days evidence for frequent state transitions. After the main transition to the soft state (HSS), between April 18 and April 20 (ATel #2577), GX 339-4 remained in the HSS but showed a few instances of type-B QPOs, indicative of a back-transition to the soft intermediate state (SIMS). These SIMS observations were made on April 22 23:36-00:00UT, April 29 16:32-17:34UT and April 30 02:45-03:06UT.
