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

First of all, sorry for taking long to answer, weekend was rather busy...

I had this issue recently, it was caused because I was not pressing the right way the buttons... I held a little bit longer and worked. But I can't guarantee you that.

The best would be doing what I said on my other post, if the recovery is there (which I believe it is) then you should be able to boot into it via adb. Or, as you are running PA I believe you have root access, so download an app that can boot on recovery for you (just search on Play Store: boot recovery, you'll find a few), you also can open a terminal emulator and type:

su
reboot recovery

Good luck.

Hi,

I don't know about unlocking sim, but to change your modem you only need to use Odin. Some posts before your one shows how to do it.

Good luck.

Hi,

If you are using Dalvik Runtime you can try Xposed. On my tablet I'm using the XHaloFloatingWindow with the MultiWindowSidebar app. You should give it a look ;).

Good luck,

~Lord

Hi, I'm on PA 3.99 rc2 4.3 ROM with KToonsez Kernel.

Every time I change a setting e.g. change clock speeds or change voltages using KTweaker I get random reboots and these weird screen glitches. I've tried leaving the voltages alone and only changing clock speeds but I still get the same output.

What do you guys recomend I do?

Hello, are you overclocking your CPU? Smartphones' cpus are not made to be overclocked (depending also on thermal design of the device, that changes from device to device) but with a bit of luck it's possible. Every CPU is different, some can handle overclock better, some not, some can't handle at all. If not, maybe the governor that you're using is unstable, try to switch to another one.

Have you touched any other option in STweaks?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kifel Jatt:
I underclocked to 1566mhz to try and get better battery life. I also changed voltages at first -25 across the board but I got reboots so I left it alone and only under clocked. The only other settings I've changed are the LED fade mods.

HELP...notification sound issue

To make a long story short I tried to change the lock sound. Luckily I made a copy of the water ogg file first. I put it back with same permissions but for some reason I get no sound effect when I lock and unlock phone even though the names are lock and unlock ogg and settings is set to play sound when locking and unlocking phone. Don't know what i did and am out of ideas. Not sure why phone is not recognizing the ogg file even though files are working, not corrupt. Any suggestions besides factory reset or flash my nandroid backup?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinySide:
lockscreen sounds are in the key guard apk in the raw folder. In order to change them you have to decompile it change them then recompiling. Using something like 7zip or winrar will cause the .ogg files to become compressed if you were to switch them out that way, which would lead to either non stop fcing or cause the device not to boot

Don't undervolt, seems that your CPU doesn't handle it. I'm with CM11 M9, Alucard kernel, 1678MHz 1st core, 1458MHz the other 3 cores. No undervolt, battery life is great (5.30/6h screen on time with heavy usage)

Needs to be exactly the same:

Lock.ogg (in system/media/audio/ui, L cap, 644 permission that it's rw-r--r-- and ownership to root/root that it's 0: root & 0: root)

Unlock.ogg the same (and U cap)

Yes but he touched the ones in system/media and now hasn't no lock/unlock sound at all. So them are played from system/media

Hello, open File Manager and go in /sdcard/Android/obb, here you can see if still there are files of games.

Always remember that in Internal Memory (/data+/data/media/0) there are apps, data of apps, Android settings, your personal files like music, photos, videos..

Hello, I am in need of help I am having problems with my Cell-Reception/Signal dropping out randomly and whenever I turn my phone screen off(put it to sleep) this is remedied by going into airplane mode and out, I have tried to specify it to use only 3G and even tried only 2G but it still drops out, even flashed and new ROM and using a new Recovery and on top of it all flashed a "new" modem the problem still persists.

I tried to find out my firmware No. with *#*#1234#*#* but nothing shows up, it may help to know that i am using the latest slimKat 8.2, this started happening recently and I had not fiddled with the phone aside from updating my CM rom, but I also drop the phone more then I care to admit.

So I'd really like help with the vibrant code (*#*#1234#*#*) and to know why this is happening or what is causing it.

Hello,

You can use ADB to recover data from internal memory, but if you don't have a backup of your Phonebook (in .vcf format, done through "Export" in Phonebook menu) or contacts synced with Google account, they're gone...

Try this:

1- Download ADB, download Samsung USB Drivers and install them if aren't installed

2-Enable "USB debugging" under "Developer options" (if it's not showed, go in "About device" or something like as "Device info" and tap 7 consecutive times on "Build number")

3-Navigate to the path where you have ADB executable and the two dlls

4-Press and keep pressed Shift key then right mouse click>Open command prompt here

5-Connect your device via USB and wait for the driver installation

6-On CMD windows write in order:

adb devices (to be sure that device is recognized, you see a code with "[B]device[/B]" word)
adb pull /sdcard myfiles

Wait for the end of the operation and you'll have your files in the "myfiles" folder

Simply normal, everytime the CPU heats up since it's powered on and working using electricity. Mine goes from 38 to 41°C even when doing nothing on homescreen.

Until don't reaches more than 85°C it's okay

Wondering how can you update from Triforce 5.4 to Sac's custom nae rom?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkerTimes:
You can't downgrade from 4.4.2 to 4.3 or 4.2.2 because of the locked Knox bootloader.

Do you have internet connection?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntaresOne:
If you play a heavy 3D game for at least 30 minutes, CPU may reach 70~75°C where the thermal throttling is automatically enabled (CPU/GPU freqs scale down to reduce temp). If you play a heavy 3D game for at least 30 minutes with wifi active and battery in charge, CPU may reach 80+°C (thermal throttling always in function)

Consider abnormal any temp after 70~75°C, where SoC may rest damaged

I've got an i9515, if I root the phone (I'm still searching how to do, because I'm not sure it's the same as the i9505) I will be able to remove the samsung apps that now I can't remove? then I can un-root the device once I've got uninstalled those apps?

thanks!

P.S. my device has KNOX
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntaresOne:
Surely.

First rule: never play heavy 3D games when battery is under charge (CPU+GPU hot, PMIC hot, device suffers).

Underclock is a good way, especially if you want to have less battery drain doing the same things, usually always reduces temperature. I can't notice any speed difference with my freqs (wrote a few posts ago), my battery lasts longer and CPU runs cooler, no lags in games (Adreno 320 is a little monster)

Take note that even if undeclocked, playing heavy games will make your CPU hot, in my case in playing Dead Trigger 2 for 45 minutes (so with Wifi always on in this time) CPU never reaches more than 60~62°C (depends from game to game)

One more quick question. If a S4 is defective and overheats. What temperature does it reach to when doing nothing and how hot can it get?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntaresOne:
A defective SoC doesn't work at all or stops working after a while. A defective PMIC may reach more than 90°C and burn itself (no flames, just damaged chip): device can't power on

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntaresOne:
Highly depends on background processes, CPU frequency and governor.

Hi,

I've found a guy saying that i9505 will give you a nonworking touch, so you can try flashing a i9505 recovery which works with physical buttons. However, it'll trip your Knox. Your decision ;).

Hi,

Keep in mind that 3G, LTE, WiFi, Bluetooth and specially Location can make your device really hot!

I wouldn't worry too much unless it was causing a battery drain or the device sitting down by itself because of the heat. In my case I started to worry when I turned off the screen and put to sleep, but the device only got hotter, discovered many apps running in the background.

Hello, thanks . I already using greenify and batterysaver. And about charger, my mobile only turn on if plugged on Wall, [but after turn on i can unplug and use it].
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

1 - As it is still a powerful device and ongoing, I believe they'll release it. Specially because they didn't hint anything about not releasing Android L. Usually companies release updates in a 18 months cycle, some do longer, so by the logic S4 will receive Android L, but can be it last update (I don't believe it though).

2 ; 3 and 5 - No. Samsung has showed itself quite selfcentered on software, specially because AOSP framework doesn't support their gimmicks. They have no reason or showed any signs of releasing AOSP for their devices, and I believe they won't.

4 - I'm not sure about the i9500, but i9505 already has many AOSP based ROMs, you may think it's a good thing to search, they can do the work pretty well I must say. For example, I prefer CM11 on my Nexus 10 over Stock Android (both are on 4.4.4).

Hi,

It looks like there's something running in the background. Please try rebooting your device, and if you have root try installing Greenify to hibernate all apps running in background. I had a similar issue in the past, had 4 or 5 memory and processor hungry apps running in background (one of them had over 50 wakelocks). Also, turn off Mobile Data, WiFi, Bluetooth and (specially) Location Service when you're not using! They are known for consuming lots of battery and heating up the device.

Good luck,

Hi guys, i really need help!. I have only had my GT-I9505 for a couple of days. i rooted it using CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar. Then i put recovery-clockwork-touch-6.0.3.3-jfltexx on and everthing was fine. Then i decided to try a new rom GOOGLE EDITION 4.4.4.

Everything went great but i didnt like the rom so i decided to reinstall my backed up stock rom wiped data and did a factory reset.Now heres where the trouble started. After booting up my phone again i started getting the messages "unfortunately, the process com.google. procedd.gapps has stopped" so i click ok and i keep getting the same messages over and over and i cant open any apps because all it says is"Unfortunately app has stopped". My phone wont even let me reboot in recovery, i hold the buttons in and the phone vibrates the screen boots up with the small blue writing in the top left and corner, then the screen goes blank. I have tried installing it with odin again with no luck, tried to install another stock rom I9505XXUFNB9_I9505O2UFNA2_I9505XXUFNB9_HOME.tar over the top to try and fix the errors probably a noob mistake!.
