Re: #Samsung Galaxy S4 Q&A Helpdesk# Ask Anything!

1. early benchmarks suggest snapdragon may be faster, but samsungs chip isn't finalized yet so at this point its only speculation. I've also seen research suggesting the graphics of snapdragon are superior, however at this point still only speculation. i expect both to perform extremely similarly myself.

2. as far as battery, I'm gonna have to give this to samsung's, its big.LITTLE design is all about super battery efficiency. also, while i hope its not true, if we don't get LTE on the octa, that'll save loads of battery too.. tho it's a price I'd gladly pay for 70mbps phone speeds...

3. gsmarena posted a sick preview, with benchmarks for snapdragon, as well as a ton of other stuff

4. as i said up there, snapdragon is expected to be better at graphics, but can't be said officially till finished chip is tested

5. are you on AT&T? you'll need to be to take advantage of international in the US. LTE is awesome, if you've used it, its ridiculous that mobile can beat wifi, that's the biggest perk here. carrier exclusive never get a fraction of the support international gets, so that's a downer.. that said s4 looks awesome and hopefully won't need too much fixing. something i don't think you're considering is sound, snapdragons is integrated, while s4 will probably use an eextremely high end dedicated chip that beat most dedicated DACs (assuming it follows the s3's trend). also worth looking into if snapdragon has dual sim or not

AT&T Pros: LTE, can buy on contract, much cheaper, possibly better 3D game compatibility

International Pros: comes unlocked (not that you can't unlock on your own), better battery life, much better developer support, can order it before snapdragon, better DAC, better compatibility if traveling abroad due to bands.

6. yes, but then again s3 officially had it too and we never saw it.. just sayin

7. s3's speaker was good, loud with no distortion, loud enough to hear whenever needed to play over a noisy background. louder and clearer than my netbook LOL

8. you mean included earphones? I used the s3's earphones every day, one day they went thru the wash, so i went to bestbuy and bought/returned 3 pairs of 'high end' earphones, Bose, and 2 other recommended earphones, i ended up returning all 3 because they didn't sound as full as the included samsung phones, so i ended up buying stock ones off amazon.

OP can you rename the thread to

And stick in noob friendly (or a variant of) somewhere it's the universal name being used now across forums

Also if your doing this do it right the intent of this thread is to help people and at the moment no one has this device so that would mean the only help you could give is information but the OP has none there are many threads here that people would find useful which should be added

Also the OP looks like it took 2 mins you didn't even bother describing the thread properly

So basically put more work into this in like like a skeleton of a help thread

NFC preventing Deep Sleep?

My stock (unrooted) T-Mobile Galaxy S4 sometimes gets into a state where it drains battery more quickly than normal. I've used BetterBatteryStats to narrow the problem down to a specific kernel wakelock which keeps the device from sleeping. In the last case, it kept it awake for 98.9% of the 5 hours the phone was on and screen off.

Specific wakelock was: "bcm2079x_wake_lock_2nd" which I believe is related to the NFC chip (which is BCM2079x chip).

When the phone gets into this state, a reboot clears things up and battery drain returns to a normal rate.

How can I find out whether this is a bug (and common) in the phone's stock firmware or if there is a fix that I can apply?

I have not yet worked out the chain of events that triggers this bad state. I use NFC tags to configure the phone in and out of "Car Dock" mode. I use NFC Task Launcher app to program the NFC tags (Samsung TexTiles2). I expect that something goes poorly when I scan one of my tags that triggers the bad state.

I'm not sure where to go from here and would appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction.

What is the best MP3 Player for Galaxy S4?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
Mp3 players are just software. They should run the same on any device, so the fact that you have an s4 really doesn't matter.

The question is which mp3 player has the best user interface. Unfortunately that is subjective so you'd have to try different ones out to see what is to your liking.

My suggestion would be to download every single one you can find on the play store and just try a different one each day until you find the one you like best. But there is nothing about the s4 that would make one better on this phone than it would be on another phone.

Rooting with CF Auto Root is safe bro, users are the uncertain risk themselves. Just download CF Root (extract it once with 7-zip) for the I9505 and flash with Odin 3.04 in PDA after you put the phone in downloadmode. Make sure Kies is closed (also in windows task manager) before you flash and usb debugging is enabled on the phone.
