Really? You are not working for Samsung do you?

---------- Post added at 12:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:01 AM ----------

Maybe you can explain how it would start to be better? :o

I am using this crap for 3 days now and no change. Also how you can explain that some of the videos that was possible to play with Hardware acceleration on 4.2.2 is not possible to play on 4.3?

Good luck for these of you who are happy with the crap!

I hope Samsung will fix that and eventually it will get better, but sorry I cant say it grate if it is crap.

Unfortunately I cant root my phone as I use it for work and company will not let me to the network if this is rooted otherwise I would not care so much what Samsung dose as there are so many grate developers and nice ROMs around.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Idol400:
one word : indexing :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 4 General] volja1971:
I did try that and it seems dose not help.

What I noticed is if I stay on WIFI battery drain is big and if I switch to LTE battery last longer by all physics it should be vise versa as it was on 4.2.2. It showing that this ROM have possibly problem with WIFI. Will try to do some performance testing on WIFI and let you know guys.

---------- Post added at 12:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 AM ----------

Why would it take so long?

Also any idea why the latest 4.2.2 can not be loaded via ODIN after "upgrade" to 4.3 - I would call it rather DOWNGRADE to 4.3
[Galaxy S 4 General] Idol400:

I do not know. Perhaps Android developers know.
[Galaxy S 4 General] sarbe:
Obviously not for everyone.

---------- Post added at 12:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:13 AM ----------

Downgrading is not possible, ask Sammy why.
[Galaxy S 4 General] planetf1:
See http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=47580063&postcount=20659 for some of my trials and tribulations. I was getting some high drain on wifi. It seems a lot better now. I'm thinking some app (system or user installed I can't be sure) was enabling wifi multicast, so the phone was listening to all broadcast traffic, and staying awake lots. Or perhaps it was just skype

I'm still trying to really understand it but thought I'd post in case it helps.

I was getting 1.6/hr roughly at work & home after this pruning (not root) over wifi today - this is with all google location services running & plenty of apps syncing.

I figured that out, but interesting that I can downgrade to any ROM that was before September, but the problem with these they do not have LTE support witch I need.

The latest via is alot battery efficient than the mj5, battery lasts now all day again, just like when i was at 4.2.2

So is it possible to just flash the mj7/8/9 version over the initial German DBT MJ5 through Odin with no problems?
[Galaxy S 4 General] MaKTaiL:
Guys, anybody having terrible slow down and lower touch sensitivity when charging the phone?

For some reason my device gets really slow when charging and as soon as I take it out it goes back to normal.
[Galaxy S 4 General] volja1971:
Nope, never experienced that, but I did factory reset and some other tricks witch was described by planetf1, thanks him a lot!

Now I can admit that my battery life is much better, partially because of the indexing that finally is done don't know why it took literally tree days, partially due to the suggested services kill and disabling of some multicast hungry applications.

What is still problem is the HD video playback, some of them played fine, but some of them would not play with Hardware acceleration and with software acceleration they lag a lot. This was working with 4.2.2 as a charm. Do not know what was changed by Samsung. Most likely some bug that can be fixed.
[Galaxy S 4 General] dafabsl:
I flashed it and did a factory reset after that.
[Galaxy S 4 General] demonstone:
Yes, I have experienced the same situation while charging the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 General] blasiusx:
Still the Same here. I've experiencend, that AVCHD 1080i Streams like mts or m2ts dont support Hardware Acceleration during Playing anymore since Android 4.3. 1080p and all others runs on my GT-I9505 without issues. But mts and m2ts stutters with Software Decoding all the time. You can use video player App which you want, this bug exists everywhere.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dryvadeum:
Is mj9 better?
[Galaxy S 4 General] dafabsl:
In terms of battery life I would say that MJ9 is definitely better

Even though, the wifi is still draining really much battery .

Don't know what to do about that
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dryvadeum:
Cool. I'm currently on the German mj5 and rooted so I just flash mj9 through Odin and should work? I'll obviously probably lose root. Is mj9 carrier branded?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Conito11:

hey fellas,

I flashed MJ5 DBT over BTU a while back but only just realised my CSC is still BTU.

I've now flashed MK8 over it but CSC is still BTU.

Is there any way I can change my CSC without having to root (that'll screw up knox if I root!)

thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 General] oxfordmark:
I dont think so.

It will be out for BTU soon.
[Galaxy S 4 General] planetf1:
Out of interest why do you want to change your CSC from BTU to DBT? Does it matter?

My S4 was originally BTU and still is, even though I tend to flip between the latest roms .... (now DBT of course)

If you do a full reset then after installing the DBT rom then I think you'll move to the DBT CSC
[Galaxy S 4 General] zoomee:
I want to change so I can get OTA and use Kies to update to latest DBT when it comes out.

Tried everything including this recommendation but unfortunately to no avail :(

Make sure you take a backup via Kies if you need personal files

Download the respective stock ROMS from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com or see thread on Stock Roms on XDA

Extract zip to get tar.md5

Put device into download mode (Vol down+ Home + Power) and Flash using Odin (PDA option)

Wait till device reboots back into Android after completing the flash and recovery

Once device reboots, do a Factory Reset via Settings > Accounts

Once device reboots after Factory Reset/recovery, enter the google account info and restore settings and then turn off the device

Boot device back into download mode (Vol down+ Home + Power)

Re-flash the same downloaded firmware for a second time via Odin

Once the device reboots after the 2nd flash, your CSC should have changed to the CSC of the ROM you downloaded, and Kies also should show that CSC has changed and it should allow future updates via Kies or OTA

Done a gazillion factory resets AND fresh wipes from recovery to no avail :( :(

[Galaxy S 4 General] oracle01642:

[Galaxy S 4 General] GuteFCO:
I change my CSC from CHO to BTU, It's really tricky, the steps in your case are:

1) Flash DBT firmware

2) Wipe data and wipe cache

3) Flash the same DBT firmware again

4) Wipe data and wipe cache again

And finally you get a DBT phone and OTA updates

Cannot for the life of me change the CSC (without root). Even did the reset from settings menu, login google acount etc. All matter of combination, i tried it. Cleared data/cache....flash again. Flashed 5 times DBT over BTU.

I think the latest firmwares from BTU just locked in the CSC, for good. No way of reversing it using Odin for me.

I give up, just weird how it wont change with the firmwares country. Everything working fine, just this thing has me stumped. Running MK8 here with very secure BTU lol.

Not gonna region switch now, got latest matching firmware AND CSC. Also seeing that Samsung pumped out MK8 for the UK just soon after Germany this round.
