You have a bad power button then..

Try tapping it on a flat surface and get it released.

Or maybe you can open your phpne and manually release it

Or go to a local shop and get the power buttom repaired

Or if you have warranty, get it repaired under warranty :)

When the power button is released, only then you will be able to have a stable download mode ready for a flash :)

Recovery for GT-I9515

Feelin like a total noob for askin but....

Damned i can't even install a recovery on my device:confused:

My Device is GT_I9515

Samsung drivers are installed, Odin 3.09 is my tool of choice and the recovery file is "philz_touch_6.23.9-jflte.zip.md5"

Hello there,

I installed the latest CM from the official website and now I have problems with my signal.

Most of the times, the phone can not find a signal. Sometimes it catches it, but it will last for 4-5 minutes. If I go into flight mode and come back, the signal will be there for 1 minute. When I don't have signal, there's the R near the signal bar (Roaming).

I haven't changed my modem with the new installation (I9505XXUAMDC). I am on the O2 / TESCO Mobile network in Ireland.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebestiam:

hope someone can answer this, if i use a tablet charger which charges my phone from 0 - 100% in 1 hour, it wouldn't last really long, but if i use lower amp like 1.0 to charge, would it make a difference?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
Yes. Charging too fast can cause a static charge to build up in the battery. This causes the battery to incorrectly report its current charge level. So the phone thinks it's at 100% charge and shuts down the charging system when the battery is really at maybe 70%.

The result is a battery % that drops very rapidly to match what the actual charge is.

Or you could just have a worn out battery that is unable to hold a charge. But the bigger charger COULD be giving you those results. Doesnt mean it IS.

This is a highly simplified version of the physics.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntaresOne:
Guys, a little story for who worries about CPU temperature:

Today I wanted to stop people complaining about high CPU temp in Lollipop, I saw a screenshot made by an user where it was at 92 or 94°C while doing stress test, what I have done to show that temp isn't higher in 5.0? Simple, in CM11 I restored performance settings to default (also flashed back stock CM kernel), then loaded Antutu for two consecutive times!

Temperature? Oh, I reached 104°C...[emoji23]

I made a screenshot while was 95°, then started to lag like hell, reached 104° (I had just a while to see) and suddently dead for some minutes!! I thought "oh no..." but just time to cool down and was back to life

So guys, if you never get more than 95° for little periods you're okay, at 105° SoC should enter in protection (shutdowns the device automatically), more than 85° for a long time may damage the SoC (more the temperature or more time=higher risk)

Ig you want the "nexus" feel, try any AOSP/CM themes (it is written in the title :) )

If you want ypur phone to look like S5, Imperium rom, Goldfinger rom

rest you can see for yourself :D

The android developement thread is very descriptive:P :D

Plus touchwiz is the customizations that are done by only samsung to the stock/naked android, which the google doesnt do.

it is just like HTC Sense. But because it is samsung, it is touchwiz.

You can say the UI they customized is called touchwiz :)

Problem Updating Stock Firmware

Hi Guys,

I live in Australia and as we appear to be last on the list, receiving the lastest Firmwares, I updated my i9505, to the unbranded United Kingdom BTU XXUGNG8.

Now we have the specific Aussie version, XSA XXUGNH6 available. I downloaded this version, installed the latest USB drivers and backed up my phone.

I went through the Odin (3.09) install process, but part way through, I get the error message Xmit Write Fail...Xmit Data Fail and the phone freezes.

Yet, I was able to boot into Download mode again and reinstall the BTU XXUGNG8 successfully!!!

Is there any reason I am unable to install one stock 4.4.2, over another 4.4.2 Firmware? Would I have to re install a pit file with the md5, or do I need to break down the Firmware into it's separate files ie pda, modem csc etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[Help] Transition Animation is absent

Hello, I've searched high and low for an answer on this forum and also by google but I can't seem to find an exact answer.

My problem is that I've noticed recently that on my Galaxy S4 I9505(jfltezh) transition animation seems to be absent. All of the transition animation is absent; open/close app animation, recents animation and even the animation when you rotate the screen. This has made the phone feeling less intuitive than before. Even if I use a different launcher, the animations are still absent. This is the first time it has ever happened to me. I can't seem to find out what has caused it to be this way. Some things to note; I've never even touched the Developer options(it's still hidden) and not planning to, cause it may void my warranty(taking the phone to the service centre is my last hope so).

Anyone kind enough to troubleshoot this for me? Thanks in advance..

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fiize:
I bought mine from a non-official retailer so for now I'm not taking any chances that could void my warranty. I haven't tried to do a factory reset cause its too much of a hassle for the problem I'm having. I'm running a stock 4.4.2 that I got OTA. I was wondering is there any settings that could have made any transition animation to be absent aside from the Developer options? (because it could not have been the Dev options because it's still hidden on mine, and if you un-hide it you cannot re-hide it again)

If all else fails, I'll just bring it to the shop, no worries! Sorry for your troubles.
