lol, little old of a thread but im doing some digging, last charge i was at 5% so i got a gremin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HughesNet:
Could always just disable auto updates in play store
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Yeah, I just found it quickly.

Been looking around though.

How long has the issue been there

Could be something done recently to affect the drain

Maybe widgets, etc.?

Edit:

Check this out.

May help figure it out

Re: Galaxy S4 Battery Drain

I had an app go rogue right after I got the update, too. Along with Wakelock Detector, I recommend GSam Battery Monitor. It will give you much better information about what's using your battery. Doing a factory reset after getting the update is a good idea, too."
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] oldman_58:
Then you suspend all updates...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nybern:
you sent me the right one i think i just got a bad down load

i odin to stock and at the last step install 3mini i got bootloops

so i odin again but this time i re down loaded from your link 3.1.1 3mini and it worked

thank you for not giving up on me.

ill ask again since i got no response i have a small icon of a lock in my right top corner anyone know what it is ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darren.wlsn1:
ya im looking at Gsam but all looks ok and wakelock looks normal, OS stay awake time is 9hrs 27min. lol:eek:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
No problem.

Give up? Don't know what that means, except on some occasions :laugh:

Glad you got it working.

What was the bad download?

Samsung Stock Firmware

Your original 3Minit app (as you mentioned, the link I sent you is a good dl)

I don't know what that icon is you mentioned. Maybe a screen lock or something that's turned on in Settings.

Check security, lock settings maybe and see if something is turned on

Wipe cache & dalvik cache and keep an eye on it.

Sounds random, and a recent issue I guess as you didn't mention it previously.

The first time I downloaded from your link from my phone and got to loop.

top left icon? if so thats XPrivacy or am i lost?

In the freeze frame of the vid it's in the upper right. Looks similar to the op lock icon in question

Upper right, 2nd pic down on the page
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darren.wlsn1:
thats just on boot for if you wanna setup a lockscreen lock, it goes away when you dont use one. op of question just pull dropdown you will see it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Yeah, I mentioned that to the op in a previous post re lock screen icon and to check lock security settings to see if anything is checked.

But didn't hear back yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darren.wlsn1:
sorry bro i jumped in late, damn nascar has me distracted.:p
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nybern:
my question is about the small lock icon in the top right side next to the battery icon

when i pull down i have no notifications and i have a lock screen set up

thanks

Lol!

All you guys, that lock is to turn off your phone (lock your phone) as normal.

This prevent to use your power bottom more often.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darren.wlsn1:
ya but to remove it its in dropdown, well thats how i removed mine

Can anyone give some advice on what I may be doing wrong? Using twrp 2.6, I wipe and flash the rom. Upon initial boot up, the rom keeps boot looping. I can't even get to the start up screens. I've wiped cache and dalvik but nothing helps. Md5 check was good btw.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] oldman_58:
Try philz recovery...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
TWRP 2.6.0.0 has known issues such as those you described. There are a few Custom Recoveries as mentioned whichyyou can choose from

I've been using TWRP 2.5.0.2 without any issues for months. Those with TWRP 2.6.0.0 most of the time install TWRP 2.5.0.2 because of 2.6.0.0 issues.

If you decide to flash TWRP 2.5.0.2, here is the link and how to:

Custom Recovery Installation

Here's the TWRP 2.5.0.2 file:

https://hotfile.com/dl/230303459/7ce1553/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.2-jfltexx.tar.html

Install with ODIN.

Steps to follow........

Method #1 -

Place file in PDA box*

Uncheck all other boxes.

Press start.

When installation is complete, unplug usb cord and pull the battery.

Insert the battery but Don't turn on the phone.

Place phone in Recovery mode via the Power + Volume up buttons.

Method #2 -

The other way I've read to install TWRP Recovery is:

Place the TWRP 2.5.0.2 tar in the PDA box*

Check the auto reboot box and f time reset box.

Start the installation and let the phone reboot.

This method #2 is the method of choice, but sometimes the Recovery doesn't take, so Method #1 above is recommended.

Install using Method #2.

If fails to install, try Method #2 again.

If still fails, use Method #1.

Here is an explanation why:

So Alpha S4 is essentially the same as Infamous S4 except you don't get any special T-mobile stuff correct (and the international version has been updated more recently by Samsung)?

It's not like the Google edition of the ROM that doesn't have any of the extra features included with touch wiz?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Has app2sd support, in addition to abuncha other good stuff :good:

Please see here for the changes in Alpha S4 7.0, as there's too many to list;)

Yeah I tried reading through the change log, seems like it's more updated...but then again it requires less work for the dev...just trying to decide if I want to switch or not yet...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
In addition, has the most current 3Minit 3.2.2 Framework which works perfectly with the 3Minit settings app version 3.2.2 in the Playstore.

Don't know about less work, as I think Jamison904, Mr Impossible and the other Developers worked through the weekend and much more to get everything done ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jdcnosse:
I thought the 3Minit frameworks were made for the 9505, which is why they were custom making them for our m919 devices? Either way it might be the better option for me, as the only real benefit from sticking with infamous is Wi-Fi calling IIRC.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gmac24:
Ok guys need help. Yes i did a search in this forum and google and found nothing, unless i'm blind. Anyway every time I put my sd card (sandisk 64gig) in it reboots my rom and it will not boot, get's stuck in bootloop. Is my sd card dead?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
You sure you searched? You have to format your SD to fat 32.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HughesNet:
I suppose first you should be asked what your sd card is formatted to rather then just say that. If it is formatted EXFat then you need to format it Fat32. If it is already Fat32 then you may have a bad card or some corrupt data on it. Copy off your data and reformat it then try again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
Come on, bro. I say that because every single comment I've seen regarding bootloops and 64gb SD cards on this thread has been because of lack of support for EXfat by a kernel. I could be wrong but chance tells me that I'm not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HughesNet:
Perhaps. But you can't seriously take issue with me being just a little more specific can you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gmac24:
Thank you gentlemen I am going to reformat and try again and hope it's not a dead card.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
No issues here man. Just clarifying why I jumped straight to formatting.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
You can use Infamous S4 kernel with the exFat format. If you want to stick with the Biokernel then yes format to FAT32.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LAkingsfan3131:
I have had nothing but problems with the S4 and my 64gb card. I have lost my files 4 times. When I finally upgraded to 4.0 I couldn't use my 64gb SD card at all. It would make the ROM freeze then reboot and freeze again mid boot. I did some poking around in the forums and found one talking about how it might be ExFat that is causing all the problems. The post recommended using EaseUS formatting tool to format the card to Fat32. I did just that, and Viaola!!! I have not had a problem since. As far as I can tell the Infamous kernel does not support Exfat. I hope this helps. I wrestled with this problem for months.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
I'm using Infamous S4 V2.0 kernel and exFat. I believed the Infamous V2 is the only Infamous kernel that support exFAT at this time. It all come down to what your preferences is.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LAkingsfan3131:
I'm sorry. I am on the bioshock kernal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shengwang917:
I saw couple of ppl on here with the issue of sending MMS (including myself) I found out why, it's not a Rom issue, at least for me it wasn't. Originally I thought it was. Anyways, it turns out I reached my 2.5gb data limited and tmobile had slow it down few days ago, that's why it wasn't sending the MMS properly. I did a test with my dad's sim card in my phone, no problems. Hope this helps.

Spent all weekend on Infamous only to find out that I can't use the Dialer because of the blue numbers. Is there anyway to revert to stock colors for dialer?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HughesNet:
Can flash a theme. I am using the black chrome theme from the theme forum. It fixed the dialer right up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] j_shelton1988:
So an update on my attempts to flash this ROM. I tried twrp 2.5.0.2 and philz recovery with no luck. Both recoveries produce a bootloop before the rom start up screen comes up. Any other suggestions? I was reading about people having issues with this rom and the 64gb card. Could that be a possible issue? I currently have everything saved to my internal storage though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] overthatscreen:
Thanks for theme idea. I'll try it tomorrow.

How about Wifi Tether? It works fine and all. But I have noticed that the Hotspot Usage Counter creeps up whenever I use the phone for data while tethering. It shows my normal usage and hotspot usage on the T-mobile My Account app. Is there a fix for this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HughesNet:
Take out your card and install the rom and your question will be answered.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
Either format your sd card to FAT32 or immediately flash InfamousS4 kernel v2.0 immediately following flag of ROM before reboot.

Built in Bioshock kernel dies not support exFAT format which your 64gb card probably is right now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tunasty:
Don't worry guys, these 64 gb card issues will be solved soon. Samsung has released the source for 64 gb sd cards. I'm sure James is already on it for the Bioshock kernel. It's the best kernel ever!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rpolito73:
I've decide to give this ROM a try but having issues flashing.

First, had problems with the bootloop. Searched and found out I had to move ROM into internal storage and take out my 64gb SD card.

Finally got it to boot but now I'm having the system ui has stopped message.

I've wiped factory data, cache & dalvik, then did system format to ensure a clean install.

Any suggestions?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] acoleman.mobile:
Format your sd card to fat32 or use infamous 2.0 kernel

System ui crash at first boot is normal ignore and continue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jamison904:
SystemUI crash is 3minit setting up. This is normal. Also as stated above, 64 gig ext is not supported yet. Will be tonight when I update BioShock. Also you have to download and install the 3minit settings app after installing the ROM. It is not included per Gary's request (3minit developer). Enjoy

It's an awesome app, just remember the updated version in the play store won't yet work on v4.0 it will work on alpha 7 and i think 6.

I've read that we'll have an update soon then the play store version will work with this ROM as well.

Tethering not transferring data?

Just wondering if anyone else is having a problem with wifi tethering? My problem is the hot spot turns on and broadcasts a signal, and other devices can connect, but I cant get any internet at all on any connected device. If anyone could help me with this it would be greatly appreciated.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HughesNet:
Have you exceeded your monthly hotspot data allotment?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LAkingsfan3131:
No I haven't. I can't. I can't get any hot spot data at all.....but I also have unlimited data plan and should get free wifi tethering with this ROM, or am I incorrect?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HughesNet:
That would be incorrect. None of these roms really have free tethering built in. Not that i have seen on the more popular ones in any case such as this and Wicked and Alpha. If you have not tethered at all then I can see you may not be over your 500MB but it is worth asking. Beyond that I can't say as I never tether really myself. Just don't often have the need and I have 3 different Verizon LTE hotspots through work if I ever need to. That said reading through here it is not something that is generally a problem for people.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] darren.wlsn1:
i tether tons and its not even part of my plan and never saw it on a tmo printout of bill.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LAkingsfan3131:
I only ask because when I was on Infamous 2.6 and every other previous version dating back to my S2 I was able to tether. I need tethering because I am on the road a lot and I need to connect my laptop to send emails (from Outlook). Sometimes you just don't feel like going in to Starbucks :silly: I used to be able to do it by using Titanium Backup and freezing the tethering provision. I don't see that listed anymore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HughesNet:
I may be wrong but it doesn't read to me as being included with unlimited tethering in the OP. As I said though I don't use tethering much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LAkingsfan3131:
Weather it's free or not is irrelevant. The rom does have wifi hot spot built in just like a stock rom. So shouldn't I be able to tether regardless. I do get tethering included in my plan. So for me it doesn't work at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
Not sure what's going on for you but I can tether and don't have the hotspot plan. There was a thread where a guy say he had to delete his hotspot apn setting our something like that. I'll see if I can find it. Is the hotspot apn selected in the apn settings for you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] marcoxx626:
Not sure if anybody else has had this but I keep receiving a notification that says I'm about to exceed the 500mb tethering limit for the month even though I haven't used tethering once this month... Anybody else get this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LAkingsfan3131:
Now that's information I can sink my teeth into :D I do not have APN "tethering" selected I have the "LTE" selected. I will try switching that. :thumbup:

---------- Post added at 10:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:41 PM ----------

Well I tried switching to the tethering APN but it just switches back to the LTE APN automatically. It wont stay on the tether one.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
I was just reading the last few posts re tethering. I got a little lost for some reason. ADD maybe :eek:

Anyway, I'll post my experience which may help you:

- the APN ticked is T-Mobile 4G LTE

- I have unlimited data with a 500mb tethering cap, as all unlimitedT- Mobile plans have

- I installed a wifi tethering app

- I can tether unlimited, but my tethering usage was showing up on my T-Mobile a account.

- I purchased vpn and my tethering usage does not increase and I still am able to wifi tether unlimited

There are other modifications you can do to achieve the same result.

Hopefully something in the above will help you out.. There are a few threads andmmany posts regarding wifi tethering without the account usage increasing.

If the above has nothing to do with what you're looking for, please ignore :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
Yes seems like that's how it work. Try this, go into the apn settings and choose "reset to default" or something like that.

Even though the apn settings were correct after resetting it started working for me.

Had to reflash the rom the other night and now I can't get 3minit to change the colors on my status bar or drop down menu. I had changed everything to blue before but now it won't take despite several reboots and cache wipes. Anybody know how to do this? Can't stand how the green icon toggles look with my color scheme. (Yes I have the paid 3minit app)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Notification panel color

Slide bar to transparent choice

(Or can lock in an image)

Press box to lock in

Status bar transparency I also have trouble with changing transparency.

I'm running 7.0

If you are running 7.2SE above applies re Notification panel color

3Minit Framework version is 3.2.2

3Minit settings app version is also 3.2.2 in Playstore.

Same versions apply for Alpha S4 7.0 & 7.2SE.

As you mentioned, you have the app. If the same version, ok.

(Or you can apply the steps below if you want to to see if it helps.)

If a different version of 3Minit settings app is installed:

Uninstall the app

Boot into Recovery

Wipe cache and dalvik cache

Boot

Install app from the Playstore.

**UPDATE**

It was just brought to my attention this is the Infamous S4 4.0 thread.

ADD is kicking in :(

Sorry.

Just follow the logic in by post regarding the correct version app for the 3Minit Framework installed. Uninstalling and Installing steps still apply.

Infamous S4 4.0 has 3Minit Framework version 3.1.1 cooked in.

You need 3Minit settings app version 3.1 to affect changes in the Framework .

You can then follow the steps I posted which still hold true.

If you need the 3.1 3Minit app version for Infamous S4 4.0 ROM which has 3Minit Framework version 3.1.1, let me know ;)

I see that gharrington has made 3Minit app version 3.1.1 available for download.

As someone posted, that's the app version you need.

3.1 also works, but given the choice, install 3.1.1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] HughesNet:
LOL Biker this isn't the Alpha thread.

Bunny make sure that you match your installed version of the 3minit settings app with the rom framework in the rom you are running at the time.

If you installed v4 then goto http://www.mediafire.com/folder/7c3ob3l93h44m/3Minit_Framework_4.2.2#3yu8ayyva4r63 and grab v3.1.1 under apps. If you installed Infamous 3.6 and not 4 then grab 3minit settings v2.6

If you just reflashed the rom and then went to the play store and installed the 3minit settings app then you DO have the incorrect version installed and that is the reason it isn't working for you.

I would uninstall the current version of 3minit settings you have and reboot before doing this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
Oh..........

Ooooopssssss :D

Then..........

Use the quoted part and substitute:

Infamous S4 4.0 where you see the Alpha ROM versions

3Minit Framework 3.1 where you where you see 3Minit Framework version 3.2.2

3Minit settings app version 3.1 were you see version 3.2.2

Basically, it's like this:

The 3Minit app version 3.1 will work with Infamous S4 4.0 ROM. This ROM has the 3.1.1 3Minit Framework.

And for those of you finding yourself in the Infamous S4 thread when you thought you were in the Alpha thread because you lost your way , just follow my original post and you'll be fine :cool:

See that, I'm like a rubber ball in a rubber room.
