gaming heating issues

This is the screenshoot after playing modern combat and real racing....first one is mc4 and the other for real racing 3. The third is at my office with ambiance temp of 25C. Just want to know does anyone get the same issue. The phone works perfect like no issues with sensors, screen or battery...but heating issue is making the phone undesirable to use after 10 to 15 game play. My friend's note 2 has the same games. I thought a15 with 28nm should have been better in handling gpu and cpu intensive games. Please everyone share your views on 9500 gaming performance. Anyone knows when is yhe next update for 9500 ota. Im not rooting it yet as waiting for ota update fix. I want to see how it goes with stock as thinking of escalating it to samsung amd getting new replacement.
[Galaxy S 4 General] bala_gamer:
Good news for audio freaks, just saw the tweet from supercurio. Wm5102 on 9500 has a very powerful Headphone amplifier, exciting days ahead

You just made my day...:p:D
[Galaxy S 4 General] danveer:
My battery results were quite worse..

Dissabled location services used by accu-weather to tell city temp and redults have been day and night...

First two results are from yesterday with 0% battery.

While next 2 are just snapped at the momeny with still more than 25% battery left...:D

heating while charging

I think samsung should look seriously into overheating...its good more and more people reporting it. When the heck we in india will get ota. as im typing i am charging my battery amd its almost 46C now. Just one issue of heating is fixed I think there will be a thousand if not million happy s4
[Galaxy S 4 General] seltaeb:
Sure, but you seem to be looking at battery temperature. The issue faced by some (many?) is with CPU temperature.

And IMHO, the first issue that needs to be fixed is the camera reboot one that tons of people seem to be facing.

Hey!!

I have one annoying issue, not talking about s4..

Actually the issue is when i turn on wifi from s4 and download something or watching YouTube... after 10 seconds my modem restarts automatically...

But in pc modem wont restart...

I know its different question...

But want to know anyone ever faced this issue..?
[Galaxy S 4 General] danveer:
Finally someone with same problem. ..:p

Its a very troublesome problem especially when downloading big games or files via browsers..

In my case wifi gets dissconected and reconnected within seconds but that moment is enough to cancel all my downloads:(
[Galaxy S 4 General] Paras Lehana:
Do any of you know any trusted site from where I can get mobile accessories in india. I was considering mercury and neo hybrid cases.

Amazon charges about 300-400 INR for shipping. Well, I'd buy the cases from there in case I don't find any better site.

How's mobilefun? Here's the link of my product - http://in.mobilefun.com/39273-spigen-sgp-neo-hybrid-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s4---white-Reviews.htm

If you've any other site please tell me.
[Galaxy S 4 General] anmolbedi:
They also charge up to 300 on normal shipping and arrives in 10-12 days without tracking. Sure is trusted. Expedited shipping is 1200/-.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Paras Lehana:
Yeah, just checked that out. Now, that means I've no other option!!

I should get 'em from amazon then, right??

Hope eBay was trusted but have got recommendations not to buy via it (I trusted the powersellers :P )
[Galaxy S 4 General] anmolbedi:
Get from eBay India global buy... Best variety and promised delivery.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Paras Lehana:
They say most of the products there are fake!! Have you ordered anything related via it, anmol?
[Galaxy S 4 General] anmolbedi:
I have ordered 30-40 items from eBay India global buy and they have been genuine and very reliable. Just check seller rafting to be more than 99% in all cases and it would be good to go.

Best way is to select a case of a manufacturer on it's own website and then search on global buy and order it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Paras Lehana:
Can't find a genuine white neo hybrid on ebay. I think I've to get it from Amazon!!

Well, what do you recommend - Amazon or Mobile fun?
[Galaxy S 4 General] anmolbedi:
Both would use USPS as shipping method, the thing is when it lands in India its handed over to our India Post to deliver :)

The icing on the cake is whenever your postman likes he would deliver it !

I did want to buy the same case. But then I settled to exogear exolife case for galaxy S4, from exogear's website itself. Its a battery case and looks good. And more over they are providing free shipping to India as well. :) you could give that a try as well
[Galaxy S 4 General] Paras Lehana:
Price is higher even if adding shipping costs of Amazon.

Well, don't want government interference in this serious matter (India Post :P )

I'd better do some more research and buy from wherever it's reliable!

Try changing channels and/or network modes (b/g/n) on your router. Which router are you using, btw?

I had a similar issue on an iPad 2 long back -- wifi on iOS was flaky a couple of versions back then. However, a bit of experimentation with channels fixed the issue.
[Galaxy S 4 General] danveer:
Its belkin basic with limited n band functionality...:rolleyes:

Well on this phone I am surely catching n frequency as my range with wifi has increased compared to previous phone but my laptop too supports n frequency and never had a problem with that.

I have also connected as many as 6 devices at a time to wifi and still never had dissconections...

My best guess is its caused by some software as its totally random.

Sometimes it won't dissconect for 20 hrs and somtimes it will dissconect again after 10 to 15 mins.:(

Am ready to factory reset but dont wanna loose my game saves as I have been playing many games for weeks..
[Galaxy S 4 General] Paras Lehana:
Backup the data?
[Galaxy S 4 General] danveer:
Will it work for game progress too..??

I have not rooted my phone yet..
[Galaxy S 4 General] Paras Lehana:
I don't know what difference would rooting make to it (as I've never tried anything without having my phone rooted :P ) but progress is afterall datafiles and they update the files in the data folder, thereby, making the backup app to backup all data related to it - It's assumed that you've checked 'backing up app as well DATA associated with it'.

Buddy my only issue with phone is heating both hardware and battery. I did not expect that after galaxy s2 a flagship phone like s4 will have so much heating issue. On my s2 heating issue was fine I can understand but now after two years they have not solved it. My friend's galaxy note 2 isbbetter. 40-42 is fine with while gaming and fast charging but 50 is not acceptable. Waiting for some magic ota update to fix it or else will go to service centre for replacement. My friend s4 only heats upto 43-44 with real racing. Let see how things shape up

You may not like an XYZ ROM but no one would like to hear that, 'start hating the ROM'! Get a life!

The GS4 may have problems but it's still the best device out there!! Hated devices don't sell in millions!!

If you don't like it buy another phone and if you don't have the money, I really doubt your intelligence for getting a flagship device without researching!

---------- Post added at 02:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:56 AM ----------

If you mean development-wise, then maybe yes. However, this was known well beforehand as the usual CM team had decided not to support Exynos and I think the Siyah kernel guy had said the same too.

Andrei is trying hard though and maybe Supercurio may chip in for audio (don't hold your breath tho) -- let's see how that pans out.

Couldn't care less about the lack of zillions of stock based ROMs. Anyone who needs that can easily roll out their own deodexed, pretweaked and whatnot versions and call themselves a dev, chef, doc whatever ;)

high temperatures while using S4

Hi,

Just received my S4 today and have been trying my hands on it.

The phone seems to heat up just after clicking 1 picture from the camera. JUST 1 PIC! Although it cools down quickly but still.. is this normal behavior for any of you? Batt temp- 31.3 C, external thermistor 42C

The upper part of the screen and back usually heats up.

While charging.. 46C (ext thermistor) and 36C (battery)

Browsing net, google play, and facebook app for 30-40 mins.. batt temp- 35C and external thermistor- 52C. While calling, no heat is being experienced. Tried continous calling for about 12 minutes. Idle phone after 5 minutes of usage. battery temp- 31C, external thermistor temp- 30-31C. CPU temperature in idle mode (using system tuner) is around 50C.

Any help would be appreciated guys. Should I send the phone back for replacement?

baseband version- I9500DDUAMDK

Build number- JDQ39.I9500XXUAMDK

I9500
[Galaxy S 4 General] danveer:
Every thing is working fine. ..:D

Enjoy your new s4:thumbup:
[Galaxy S 4 General] pulkitsachdeva:
are these temperatures ok for S4?

So according to you these temperatures are fine? But with these temperatures it kinda becomes hard to put the phone to ear.. what to do? after all the main purpose of a phone is to talk, right? :p

Is there any update that is scheduled to come out to address the heating problem?
[Galaxy S 4 General] danveer:
There might be an update but I think its normal to heat up..

Its more powerful than intel atom processor and still doesn't have a active cooling system like a fan..

The great thing is it cools down pretty quickly so even if it feels hot when picking up a phone, it should feel pretty normal after just 2-4 mind...:D

Anyhow here is my screenshot..

Phone is charging from last 45 mins continously and screenshot is captured just after playing fast and furious 6 for 10 mins...:cool:

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...-keyboard-to-google-play-for-all-4-0-devices/

[Galaxy S 4 General] sasha007:
The default ringtone Over the horizon sounds too low . Is that so ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] seltaeb:

Way better than the Nexus 4 though. That thing it's inaudible even in the front pocket!
[Galaxy S 4 General] sasha007:
So the speakers are not too loud indeed :(

Also thinking to root . One question : Do Samsung service centres in India check (Or have got brains to check :P ) if the device is rooted if given for service within warranty ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] seltaeb:
No idea about the present, but about 6 months back they didn't check my friends S3 when he sent in for fixing his cam.

2. Developer community will be huge.

s3 lte version was only there for US.

Only the app is moved, not the standalone data that apps such as large games download. You'll still need folder mount. I am not really in favor of this as it's a further deviation from stock Android behavior.
