[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fsufan1200:
I must be the luckiest guy in the world, because I'm not experiencing any lag! I did disable the bloat crap, and re-booted the device!

I also came from the HTC One, and can say I'm quite happy with it so far (Only have had it for about 6-hours) :)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] lunercrab:
Yeah I got some lag...definitely not fluid....is freezing the bloatware just as good as just completely deleting them?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] falconeight:
I get lag when I play games on mine. I get lag everywhere actually.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] MattMJB0188:
The lag is pretty much everywhere. Something tells me they won't address ALL the lag in the next update. The severity of this is going to require at least 2 or 3 full size updates.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] drakeymcmb:
I get lag
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] eroracing:
Lag here also....but I'm hoping an unlocked bootloader and dev magic will fix it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] drakeymcmb:
Lag all over for me might switch to htc one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jrollercoasters:
I believe freeezing it its still in the system, so no deleting it is better

I came from a One because I missed my old Samsung, regreting that decision now....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] falconeight:
On the positive side I threw the phone at a wall, it lagged right before making contact, and survived without a scratch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ricerx:
I haven't seen any lag... debloated only and running on powersave mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] phjnky:
Same here. After reading all the reports of lag I was expecting problems but its fast and smooth. I have quite a bit of stuff disabled including animation transitions. I'm coming from an AOSP/GS3 and I'm pretty happy with the performance after one day of usage, however I don't game on it so that might be an issue for some. Just in general use though, its been fine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] bcnu_702:
Lag is very subjective. Some people will see it, others will not. I can see some, especially when typing. No doubt it is occurring. Cime on CM!!

Found this on another thread... worked reasonably well for me(ESPECIALLY 3 and 4):
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Baldilocks:
Still stutters. My old One X is smoother than this thing. It needs to be optimized and hopefully Project Butter is enabled.

Meh, I'm sure those instructions/tips are like a fat chick... doesn't work for everyone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] :
Has anyone tried a complete factory reset ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Baldilocks:
Yes. Tried that before I rooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sportsinger75:
I'm getting a ton of intermittent lag pretty much everywhere throughout the device. I disabled a bunch of AT&T and Samsung stuff and that seemed to help a bit, but I shouldn't have to do that to make my device usable. The lag is in weird spots too, like when I'm quickly scrolling through my app drawer or pulling down the notification shade. I have heard that this is widespread across most all S4 units worldwide, even the octa version to a point, which makes me belive that its an issue with Samsungs software and not any hardware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] vinuneuro:
Spent a lot of time in the store with the S4 today. There was a lot less lag with power save ON. I wanted to get this phone, but may be forced to the HTC instead.

How do I improve my signal?

I've gotten a new phone and new SIM cards and those didn't work.

I have never rooted a phone, but am willing to learn.

Do any of the custom ROMs improve the signal?

If it's specific to galaxy nexus , you can try different basebands.

if it's a problem with every phone you have, you should move to a different area or try

[MDA, XDA, 1010 Software Upgrading] belsokar:
So I went through the Siemens upgrade utility to upgrade my phone to wm2003,...during the radio stack update, it failed, and the whole process failed....there was no longer a protocol or radio stack version when booting...

I have done a flash of the wm2003 software, but it just freezes on the boot screen, all it shows is the 'Designed for Windows Mobile' screen with the AT&T Wireless logo, with A.30.09 showing, G and R are both blank...

is it possible at all to Flash a Radio Stack? I can't connect to my device and run any rsupgrade stuff because it just sits in the boot screen...is it fried? or is there a solution???

Thanks

If you can't access the device through USB ... AND ... you get "GSM error" in the boot loader screen ... AND ... you can't charge your device

then yes your RSU is damaged ... you better to send it to repair :(

I've been trying to compile CM7 for zeusc using this tutorial but replacing JellyBean with gingerbread, gingerbread-release, and gingerbread-release-7.2 (or something like that) but every time i try to compile i get errors. The only one that even made it to a point where it actually started to compile was 7.2 but that ended with a message saying Error 255. Can anyone tell me what i could be missing or doing wrong? Also i tried searching for this but can't find anything so does anyone know where i could get r800x gingerbread sources? I mainly just want to get back to gingerbread since it's better at gaming but still continue learning how to modify android

Ok so this is your error:

No rule to make target `device/semc/zeus/prebuilt/bootrec', needed by `out/target/product/zeusc/root/sbin/bootrec'. Stop

CM have it wrong in their device tree but they obviously had zeus device tree in there build-env so they had no issues...

in your device/semc/zeusc/device_zeusc.mk

Look for -

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ZPaul2Fresh8:
While listening to music on Google Play on (headphones) I went into settings and was looking at my wifi settings. I pressed the menu button and accidently hit the option for WPS push button. Knowing I didn't mean to press that I immediately hit the Cancel button and then BOOM my volume increased dramatically. So much that I can't even listen to it all the way up now because it's insanely loud.

Can anyone else duplicate this? Weird I'm going to see if it effected the external speaker...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ZPaul2Fresh8:
Did not effect the external speaker. Headphone is back to normal. I dunno lol. Probably a volume spike due to the notification of reconnecting to my wifi. That's the only explanation I have.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] CycoPuppet:
I know most of the benefits of rooting a phone and how it's limited on the Bionic. But what I want to know is, what's the hype over ROMs?

Also, do certain ROMs excel at certains "tasks" or needs? Is one better at exploiting security holes in networks to strengthen security? Is one better at privacy? I know some DEVs say "This is for pure performance" or "optimal battery life" Since most of you have 2-3 ROMs in your slots, is there a reason why you won't just pick one and stick with it?

I know one reason, from what I have read so far, is that there are issues with some of the ROMs. Like the sought after CM ROM. This is supposedly THE ROM to get. But unfortunately there's issues with the camera and docking and BT, among others. So does this mean that Eclipse or Liquid Smooth or Icarus HD or Synergy or Wizzed Bean actually have those things working that CM lacks? Or is that why there's people with 3 ROMs flashed since one has dock and the other has BT. I know it's a matter of taste, but is there one that is better overall or are they kinda the same just little differences?

I apologize if this post irritates people or DEVs. I am in the process of fixing up my phone (in other threads) and I am hoping to kinda have a new phone. Mine needs new life.

which one was the one you ordered? do u have a link of it?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Aerodeath:
Looks great.

Got everything I wanted.

S View

Color - Hot Pink or any shades of Pink that's nice

Just 1 card slot to put my EZ-link card. Something only Singapore have.

I don't need the stand but its good.

And the cover from the side not slick enough.

Pity though, was gonna buy right away but they may not ship to Singapore. Can I see the one at Amazon?

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Aerodeath:
Does the Amazon one carry other colours?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Earthdog:
I link that, its almost a perfect solution. I think that Samsung needs to add a home button like this and a whole for the notification LED. But I may just order one.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] targaz:
im allmost buying the tridea, if it wouldnt be for the added thickness. the s4 is so beatiful and tiny... its allmost a shame to put it into a big case.

the official samsung case is equally expensive... thinner, but the window is not scratch free and user complaints that it doesnt close 100%

i never thought it would be this much hazzle finding the perfect cover...

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nuenjin:
So I cracked my screen, I'm getting a new one from Tuscani1821 and I think I've found a couple of good videos to show me the way.

Basically, I don't need help. But I thought I would share due the the way I cracked my screen.

I use an otterbox defender, clipped to my left hand pants pocket, with the top of the phone on the bottom of the case. I do that so the volume buttons are exposed. Another guy came to my job site and I was going to move his truck. I had forgotten that his door doesn't open all the way, another story, so I pulled his door and moved forward expecting to slide in and instead my phone made contact with the edge of the door.

I didn't know anything was wrong because, hey, I use an otterbox. TuneIn kept going, I turned the volume up & down. Took a call with the button on my wired headphones. I only found a problem at lunch when my screen didn't come on. Other than that, it seems to work perfectly.

So, maybe the otterbox kept me from destroying my phone entirely but I had a seidio for 9 months with no problems and I've had the otterbox for maybe 3. I only replaced it because the belt clip broke from the case and couldn't find another.

Still have the seidio if anyone's interested.

The tab doesn't have a macro lens, sorry. The crack on the bottom will be the circular line going to the opposite corner as the rest of the carnage.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nuenjin:
Gah!! Don't you holler at me!! :) I forgot to mention that it was facing inward in the case so the back of the phone struck the edge of the door. It just seems weird that nothing else was broken.

Just got the new screen from Tuscani and it works perfectly.:good::crying:

I stepped back to the Transform in the meantime, what a piece of crap, and for a while nearly considered going back to my sanyo clamshell. but I'm addicted to tune-in & talk radio on the job because I work with a bunch of morans.

I have my creative WP300 stereo connected via Bluetooth to stream music. it appears that the bluetooth connection kept dropping every a few hours of use. I had no problem with the same headset on my Sprint GS2 (Epic 4G touch). Just curious if there is anyone experiencing similar thing? Do I have a defected device? Thanks,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] thisguyinoc:
I have my GS4 paired to my Kenwood DNX9960 headunit in my truck and every time I get in my truck, only the "Use for phone audio" is checked, not the "Use for media audio". I have to open up BT settings on the phone and check the media check box and it connects right away. This is so annoying, it should just connect both profiles automatically.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Ls1ssz28:
the media portion of auto connect is determined by the music app.... i use power amp and have no issues with it auto connecting, but with the stock player no luck.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ReFiLL:
I too have upgraded from the GS2 and I have experienced drops with Both of my New Devices (2 S4's). I have a Dual XML8150 Head Unit in my vehicle. Neither of them Auto Connect. Sometimes the music will play for the duration of my travels, However most of the time it drops the audio in a few minutes (less than a song few minutes), however the 2 devices are still communicating (meaning I can play/pause basically). I do not use it for phone calls so I can't report how it works on those. A few times yesterday it would happen almost immediately, and one headset wouldn't even play audio from the onset (although I could still communicate (Play/Pause). Once I would disconnect from Bluetooth, the audio was confirmed playing on the headset. I have not tested this problem out with my Plantronics BB903+ headphones, but will today.

So a final note to wrap it up. I'm at my 14 days. Even though Im only rooted with TWRP, I'm doing the full reset on both devices and i'm going to test it out today flat stock. In addition to the Bluetooth antenna/radio, None of the Antennas (surprise, surprise Samsung) on this phone seem to be very strong. It seems that one likes to connect to 4g more than the other. Same place, same tower ones stuck on 3g and one on 4g (according to RF signal tracker). Even a data off/on doesn't seem to force it over and im sick of seeing the "can not establish a data connection" popping up in the middle of doing anything. I can't forget to mention the Dropped calls, probably more in 2 weeks than in several years. I had an S2 since the first month it was out (Typical Lame GPS, and crazy menu key was about it) I briefly used an S3 (Asurion Claim), and the troubles I had with my S2 were gone with the wind, so I figured the S4's have to be even better....Well, any troubles today, and I'll let you know what happens at the sprint store tonight.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Your battery drain doesn't sound that bad to me. Batteries wear out over time and don't hold the same charge they used to. 1% per hour hardly seems like anything to complain about.

I doubt you're going to get a warranty repair for something like this.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hydromea:
I'm getting around 2-3% battery drain per hour, if I just let the phone sit there. And in Airplane Mode, it's just as bad.

Trust me, I've noticed a definite decrease in battery life compared to just a few months ago.

I'll also have some overheating problems with light usage on Sense JB ROMs (including the 3.18 RUU stock), so I think that might be contributing somewhat.

But I've been meaning to make a post about this for weeks, and in the meantime trying to ignore this problem and fix it. But it just isn't happening.

What kind of battery drain do you get with Airplane Mode ON?

Compare the drain in the old (1st picture) vs new (5th picture) when Airplane Mode is ON.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
That drain doesn't sound bad to me at all, that sounds completely normal.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hydromea:
Really?

Well, on AOSP 4.2.2 ROMs, with Airplane Mode ON, AutoSync OFF, and no apps installed, and no wakelock, I get around 3% battery drain per hour. Probably due to bad power management in the ROMs themselves.

On Sense ROMs (and this is much worse on JB than ICS) , with Airplane Mode ON, AutoSync OFF, no apps installed, and no wakelock, I get around 1% battery drain per hour.

And all of the screenshots are with no apps installed/no syncing. With apps installed and syncing, the battery life is much worse obviously.

I don't know, I've just REALLY felt like there's been a definite decrease in battery life over the past few months.

I know for sure it used to be a lot better.

I understand that batteries wear out over time, but should it be happening this early to me?

I have an original, launch day HOX, that can handle the lowest underclocking (the processor is in 'FAST' mode), although I have experienced lots of overheating in the past during just very light usage.

Could you guys share the kind of battery drain you get with Airplane Mode ON? Over the course of an hour or few?
