Auto power on?

Good afternoon,

I recently purchased my first ever samsung phone being the I9505 after using chinese zopo brand which i will no longer ever buy again.

I have tried numerous rom's just to play and decided for now to install official 4.3 and removed some of the bloatware with root explorer.

Loving the phone and no issue, all working.

BUT on my zopo zp980 in settings i had the option to put in a time for the phone to auto power up as i always turn phone off when asleep.

I'd set it for example 5.55am and alarm for 6am which i loved that option.

Does anyone know if this option could be / Is available for the S4 as i hate having to leave the phone on during the night.

Best wishes
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
There is no such option on the S4.

You can mute the sound during the night, the alarm will come through but it wont if you turn off the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingchundub:
Argh, that's a bummer.

Will do some searching and if any program out there to enable it possibly.

Or does the phone no hardware to do this thus not in software to begin with.

Best wishes
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
There is no point in searching for an option, if the S4 is switched off it's really off.

The closest thing to what you want is to put the phone in flight mode during the night.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wingchundub:
Thank you kindly,

I will do as suggested.

Best wishes
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinySide:
You can do what Kantjer said or you can experiment with Tasker.

You can set a profile to where at say 11pm your phone will turn on airplane mode or go into silent mode automatically and then at 6am re-enable everything automatically. That way you really don't have to manually do any thing.

My S4 will be arriving in a couple of days. It's my first Sammy, I'm a huge HTC fan but wanted to give the competition a try. I'm looking for a touchwiz 4.3 rom that is able to be debilitated, is smooth and fast, and has customization options. I want my experience to be awesome, and the rom described would basically ensure that :D

s4 charging problem

Hi,

I have the phone about 6 months and this problem started a couple of days ago.

The phone will only charge in usb mode even though it's plugged into the ac charger.

It takes much much longer to charge (currently at 47% and indicating it will take 3 hours and 20 mins to fully charge, this should take less than an hour) and the phone gets fairly hot.

Can't find any info online, did a full factory reset but to no avail.

Anyone encountered a similar problem?

Unroot modified galaxy s4 I9500

Hi, i've been using Galaxy s4 I9500 since May 2013 with official rom which was a Middle Eastern rom (4.2.2) although I am from Bangladesh (TML).In October i had flashed with 4.3Jb (TML) and after a few days IMEI broke (unknown basenad, no reg. network). I had sent it to samsung service center and they told me IMEI is not readable so we are unable to repair it but one of the local servicing center managed to solve the problem and they gave me a rooted phone with 4.2.2 (basebnd I9500DDUAMDC) which is the 1st official built of 4.2.2.

Now i wanna install 4.3 official firmware(TLM) and unroot it. IF I DO SO, is there any possibility to fall into the same IMEI related problem??

Please Help ME.........!!!

Wipes the cache and dalvik cache. Phone stores caches for faster access.

No. But if you wipe data it will.

Doesn't really matter which way. Cache isn't going to rebuild til you boot.

Yes. Because stuff changes.

98% of the time no. Data partition contains log in, user apps, etc etc. Recommended tho if going from TW to aosp tho.

Back up your efs partition. It'll save an img file to your SD card. I'd copy it to your comp too. Something happens again and gets wiped? Restore it and bam back in business.

3- you mean when we wipe cash or dalvic , it does not apply til we reboot the phone?

4-what is the stuff change?can you please explain more easilly?

5- you said we need do full wipe but now you say 98% no?as i unsderstand you mean when going from tw to aosp we need to full wipe and when goinf from an aosp to another aosp we do not need to full wipe because you said 98% we have no problem?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinySide:
Your phone stores caches. You are wiping those caches. Because stuff changes.

When you wipe dalvik and cache it's gone. Til you reboot and it rebuilds.

No. I can't. Because I don't know what changes in every single rom nor every update.

I said 98% of the time no you don't need to wipe data. When going from say tw to an aosp based rom yes wipe data with cache and dalvik. There's 1%. The other 1% some times something just conflicts with another and wiping data fixes it, which you should wipe caches and data and reboot if you have a random issue that really doesn't pertain to the rom. So there's 2% wipe data. And 98% it's really not needed to wipe data along with caches going from aosp rom to aosp rom or tw rom to tw rom.

Hi,

It's completely normal. I don't have the real numbers, but the heating is common due to the heavy use of the CPU and GPU, unless you're experiencing some problems that you believe it's the heating or the device is rebooting itself while you're playing, due to the excessive heat, I believe you don't have to worry.

Remember, keeping NFC, WiFi, 3G/4G (specially) and Bluetooth off are a good idea to let the heat be smaller, also the more bright your screen is, the heater it'll be, so try turning the brightness low, just to see.

Hops this helps,

The s4 should be able to handle things without overheating.Surely em Koreans do some quality testing before launching.

If the guys got to turn this down,or that off,then hes as well having an s2.

And if he sends it back,all they'll probably do is reflash the firmware hes got already.

Looks to me that the s4 is a pile of junk and a waste of money.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinySide:
It's perfectly normally. It doesn't matter if it's an s4, One, Nexus, a computer , etc etc, if you are playing something that is CPU intensive you're going to heat the device. Cpus heat up. That's what they do. Batteries too. That doesn't matter if it's a phone, remote, car battery or whatever.

There is no normal temp. It fluctuates constantly. 130°f is Max for most phones tho in which it will protect its self from going any higher and causing damage and shut it's self off to cool down. So as long as you're under that you're perfectly fine and it's perfectly normal for your device to become warm or heat up

You can install custom recovery and then, a custom ROM.Most ROMS come with root installed.

You will , however ,trip the knox flag in the process.
