Hi,

I saw someone else mention this.

You will need an app from the market .

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swizzy88:
Hey guys I'm sure some of you brainiacs can work this out for me :laugh:

I recently flashed the latest official ROM to my 4S I9505, it was called I9505XXUBMF5_I9505OXXBMF2_I9505XXUBMF5_HOME.tar.md5. I couldn't do it through Kies because it was already rooted.

The new ROM works fine except the odd few app crashes, mainly Opera 14 and Snapchat.

For Opera the exception class name is "java.lang.outofmemoryerror", source class "android.graphics.bitmap" this usually happens 1-2 minutes after opening and browsing.

Google Earth crashes upon launch with the same "java.lang.outofmemoryerror"

For Snapchat it happens after I take a picture and press on "Send". The exception class name is "java.lang.nullpointerexception", source class "android.graphics.canvas".

Firefox crashes sometimes too, with similar java errors.

I did not clear dalvik cache prior to flashing, nor did I reset it before flashing.

These all worked with the stock ROM and rooted with cf-autoroot

Galaxy S4 I9505

Baseband XXUBMF5

Stock Kernel 3.4.0-768421

Build number JDQ39.I9505XXUBMF5

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Galaxy s4 on s5 rom/features

Hi. I managed to root my phone (i9505 s4) this morning with kingo root and I now have root access.

I am trying to install a s5 rom so I can have the s5 start up, download booster, ultra power saving mode, settings menu etc. I have been looking at roms but they haven't been exactly the ones for my device. I am a beginner at this sort of stuff so please bear with me, my build number is XXUGNG8 and it's a gt-i9505 (4g) version. Any help will be appreciated. if you could explain either step by step or a dummies procedure it would be great!

Does the build number have to be exact for the rom I'm looking at?

Does the s4 model number matter (because of the different chips I'm thinking it does)?

Hi,

I did not see you mention a custom recovery.

The ROM you want suggests to use Philz recovery

Go for the jflte version.

I do not know about your reboots/freezing

I guess , you have to try it out.

Once you get a custom recovery , I strongly suggest you make a nandroid backup , and maybe consider an app data backup like Titanium Backup

You can also enter recovery when you start it normal (long press on powerbutton) and when the phone vibrates, press and hold only the volume up button. More isn't necessary. Or you press homebutton, power, vol up at the same time until it says "recovery booting"

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

Unless the app requires root you can't simply grant access for it. But, if you think that Super User is simply denying the permission without you being able to change anything, then you'll have to open the superuser app and select the app you want, if your app is like the one I'm using, you'll see a trash can when you open that app, it is used to forget the su permissions granted to it. Just click it and open the app again, you'll be notified, select grant.

Good luck!

Hi,

Have you tried using a terminal command or 'adb reboot recovery'?

Hi,

What's your carrier? It depends, AFAIK if your device is a normal S4 variant (i9500, i9505, i9506), but with an extra layer of customization by the carrier (here in my country it's like that) you can do it. But, some carriers change the device boot loader for example (like Verizon), so you have a completely different variant (i337 for example), in that case you can't do anything like this. Send me exactly your model and your carrier, so I can tell better what to do.

Hi,

I don't understand what you want. Google Keyboard allows you to change languages with a small globe button on the side of the space bar, you just need to add it via the Languages & Input and then settings for the keyboard.

If you want two languages while typing, then you can use SwiftKey Keyboard.

Hope it helps,

No. When you update your phone, root will be lost. But when Lollipop is released you can flash it trough Odin and root it again when there is a new root method for this build. Maybe the old ones won't work then, I don't know.

But installing new firmware means losing your root access.

Boot loop, nothing helps - cannot find a solution (S4 9500)

Hello,

I have S4 9500

Yesterday I took out my phone from the pocket and I saw the samsung logo with the model name (which appear when you turn on the phone), however after that the display turned of and few seconds after that the logo appeared again, and so on. I used turn on button + home + volume down keys straight away but the problem was when I got the menu, the volume up/down button did not work and the loop started again.

I took out the battery and put it back again - the phone started to boot by itself and the loop continued. I connected the phone to my computer - to charge it (i read that it can be helpful to gain back the control). The battery indicator appeared (the big one, when the phone is turned off) and started to loop in that way - battery indicator, turned off screen, battery... I left it for the whole night, so this morning the battery was drained.

I connected it again to the computer - battery indicator loop again.

Any ideas how I can do something? I know that I have to delete the cache from the turn on button + home + volume down menu, but I cannot, because when I get there I cannot use the buttons.

Thanks! :(
