my phone turns on automatically when i inserted the battery but never made to turn, it just stuck on samsung logo and turns off and turns on again
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjrBud:
You have a bad on/off switch stuck in the on position. You can temporarily get it unstuck by tapping it on the edge of a table or something hard. You will know it is unstuck when the phone doesn't turn on by itself when the battery is inserted. The part is only a few dollars on Amazon or ebay but is surface mount so you need to be good with a soldering iron.

Trouble with Google Play app and Google PLay Services

Hi,

I'm having some problems with the Google Play Store app: automatic updates aren't working and when I manually update the apps, those in the external MicroSD are installed in the internal memory. It's very annoying since after manually updating, I would have to move each app to the SD card. I have a i9505 with the Samsung stock Lollipop 5.0.1, rooted.

So I tough that updating the Google Play app the the Google Play Services would be a good idea. Currently I have installed Google Play 5.1.11 and Google Play Services 7.5.71 (1955121-438). I found on APKMirror that are updates for both apps: Google Play Store 5.6.8 and Google Play services 7.5.73 (1976294-438).

I download each apk and I have been unable to install both of them. I got an error message "x App not installed". I tried to clear cache and data, but only with the Play Store app this was available, and didn't solve the update problem. I tried to stop the Google Play Services from cache services on Apps settings and also didn't help.

Any ideas? Anyone could help me? Thanks!

GT-I9500 Identification Problem

I was given a phone which I think the original owner had tried to put a custom rom on and failed, According to the sticker it is a GT-I9500.

I was able to install TWRP and later tried CWM and attempted some custom roms, all installed but failed to boot. I tried reverting to several different original I9500 firmwares but all would fail to install because the PIT did not match, I downloaded the PIT from the phone with heimdall and it is nothing like the I9500 PIT in fact it looks similar to the I9505.

Now I am lost, I do not know if this phone is maybe fake or some how someone flashed it with the wrong PIT any suggestions would be appreciated.

This is the sticker under the battery and I have included the print output of the phones PIT.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheeky Freddy:
1. I have the same problem @ CM12.1. after updating an app which is installed on the ext SD it moved automatic to the internal and I have to move it manually back to SD. I think it´s normal.

2. Look at the last 3 numbers of the Play Service APK (1955121-XYZ)

* X defines Android version:

0 for Android <5.0

4 and 7 for Android >=5.0

8 for Android TV

* Y defines CPU architecture:

1 for armeabi

3 for armeabi-v7a

4 for arm64-v8a

7 for x86

* Z defines DPI:

0 for universal

2 for 160

4 for 240

6 for 320

8 for 480

Notes:

It seems that -7YZ builds became -4YZ with Google Play services 6.5. If you were on -7YZ before, you should now install -4YZ.

Looks like -8YZ builds are for Android TV.

Examples:

-014 for Android <5.0 armeabi CPU 240 DPI device

-438 for Android 5.0+ armeabi-v7a CPU 480 DPI device

-876 for Android TV x86 CPU 320 DPI device

My Version (i9505) f.e. 7.5.74 (1997312-438)

Just try to wipe cache/data and deinstall Google Play Services, after that try to install the right apk version of G-Services you found on APK mirror.

I remember when I had the Samsung S3, the 320kbps music I played in PowerAMP didn't sound very good and had to use mods and tweaks to get it the way it sound on the iPhone 5

I will have a look at the link you've given me, which Samsung S4 model has lots of stock ROM but with tweaks, as I don't like using CM or AOSP

Thanks for the replies. I have been looking for that setting but can't seem to find it either so I'm going to try best wifi app and see how that works.

If I may, I have another question-

I have my phone set to connect bluetooth with my cars nav/audio system. There seems to be two versions of the music player on the phone. They are both called music I believe but one of them is better imo than the other. I have all my music on my phone and I just like to shuffle songs randomly. Problem is, one of the apps isn't random, it starts with the same song and then moves through the same list of songs every time, starting over at the original song every time I get in the car. This is the app that automatically starts from the bluetooth. I have to manually start the other app that truly shuffles randomly. I've looked at what I think are the apps settings in the app manager but find no default settings. Any thoughts on how I might figure this issue out? I know it sounds petty but I really don't want to have to pull my phone out of my pocket or backpack every time I get in the car. I would rather just push play and have the correct music app come on and shuffle my songs in true random fashion.

Thanks again!
