Battery life is great for me. I only disabled some apps, kept most of the Samsung apps, but also disable all those Air/Smart gestures. I can go 2 days without charging with moderate use.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] shock2sys:
My battery has been alright, but I don't know why "google services" is showing such a high battery usage. I had the screen off for the last hour and google services is showing a 43 percent battery usage. That seems unusually high, no?

I did some investigating with "gsam battery monitor" and it showed that "networklocationlocator" has been causing wakelocks.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comrad:
Can anyone please test 9505 (the 4 core version of S4) on following two applications ?

1.) Droidfish (chess engine with UI)

a) settings -> threads -> 1

b) back to chessboard -> click "M" -> select mode = "Analysis mode"

c) keep it running for at least 30 seconds (from the starting position) and write down the "nps" (nodes per second) number - mine is showing 137k which is the same as on my old galaxy S2 at 1.2 GHz

2.) Counting Benchmark

a) Count To -> 10 Bilion

b) Threading -> Single-Threaded

c) Start Benchmark and write down number of seconds it took, mine is 62.76s which is very close to what I get on my old SGS2 (74.418s)

When I check how much time the CPU spent in which state (with CPU spy plus) - it shows me that:

On S4 during the "droidfish" test it spent 100% in 918MHz state (and 0% in 1890MHz state ???) - while on S2 it shows of course 100% of time being in 1.2GHz state (max for S2)

On S4 during the "Counting Benchmark" test it spent like 2/3 of time in 918MHz state and and 1/3 of time in 1890MHz state

PS: I have turned off all power savings & smart scroll / air gestures etc. features I know of (and even tried the tests while charging)

SHOULDN'T S4 RUN EVERYTHING MUCH FASTER THAN OLD GALAXY S2 ??? - that is including the single threaded performance ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mkrmec:
Maybe the app doesn't work properly on S4 and doesn't know how max out the CPU on S4, thought about that?

Single threaded performance is the same on S2 and S4, you say? I might have understood you wrong?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comrad:
Yes single threaded and most likely even 2 threded performance is the same in doridfish.

In "Counting benchmark" it's only marginally better - it should be much higher if for nothing else then just due to the difference in frequency (1.9GHz vs. 1.2 GHz)

Are there any other integer benchmarks / test apps (for non - floating point arithmetics) where I can select number of threads ?

Btw the droidfish app is the latest one from Google Play on both phones - and I even tried installing it directly to clean (factory reste) S4...

Edit: found this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2258210

That is aobut 2x more I see when I run the test from start position with 4 threads enabled on my S4 i9505
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shox22:
Was your device warm/hot when you started it? Could be a throttling issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comrad:
No it wasn't - it was close to room temperature before and also during the droidfish test ( but it gets warm after running some GPU intense benchmarks / games etc. )
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] comrad:
Minor update: I've run all the benchmarks they used here:

http://www.anandtech.com/show/6914/samsung-galaxy-s-4-review/4

and had similar results in all of them - yet the droidfish seems to perform so badly...

Please can anyone try the droidfish test on i9505 under the conditions mentioned at the beginning of this thread and report the results ?

I just don't understand if this is a hardware issue or a firmware issue or droidfish application issue (the last thing is highly unlikely as it simply uses one CPU core to 100% - failure to do so on the application side would seem quite absurd)

And btw kies reports my device as having the latest firmware (the one that ends with MDE)

How do you get this thing into FASTBOOT mode? When I do vol up/dwn+pwr I get SAFE MODE.

So I decided to go the Rom Manager and (for the 4th time now) pay for CWM touch route. WTH, the dev deserves it.

Anyway, it allows me to pay for and download CWM Touch through ROM manager but all I keep getting is "non-touch" CWM when I select and install TOUCH.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MikesTooLz:
worked perfectly fine with me. I selected CWM Touch in ROM manager. turned on the switch for CWM Touch when prompted.

when you want to boot into the different modes, just reboot the phone and hold either the volume down (download mode) or volume up (recovery).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MisterEdF:
I know how to boot into different modes, that wasn't what I asked but never mind. :)

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 PM ----------

Herre is my question once again stated differently:

How can I install CWM TOUCH WITHOUT using ROM MANAGER? This device does not seem to have a FASTBOOT mode and I can't install an IMG file with ODIN AFAIK.

How does one install the downloadable recovery image that was posted a few messages back (the IMG FILE) onto this device?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ryan9316:
I was on CleanROM 1.5 for AT&T, but decided to switch to ARHD for continued updates. Flashed the ROM and the problem began. I've since tried to go back to cleanrob via pushing the rom with adb, no go. I've wiped the phone countless times. I've erased the fastboot cache. I've switched TWRP/CWM neither changed anything. Fixed permission, flashed the boot images associated with each rom. Let it hang on the HTC screen for 30 minutes. I've exhausted the extent of google. Can anyone help?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] zsamuels28:
Did you try adb sideload. Open clockwork and click install from sideload. Then go to command prompt, the adb directory and type adb sideload romname.zip.

Try Cleanrom, works for me.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] treborbula1:
I just got my HTC one a week ago and I've noticed some bugs , that I'd like the community to look at some fixes, because waiting for HTC will be too much, haha here's the list:

1 HTC music app not reading new music

2 Usb mount

3 signal unstable going from 3g to 4g

all the time, have to switch it off and on to get it working again

Other bugs can be listed by whoever finds more, thanks
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gk1984:
2. I have no issues with this, make sure the drivers are installed. I did have an instance where windows said it failed to install them and unplugging the usb cable and plugging it in again made it try again and it worked fine.

It uses mtp for data transferring which doesn't need to be toggled on.

3. I had this problem too and happened to restart the phone. I haven't had an issue since. Not sure if this will fix it for everyone but worked itself out for me this way.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] enobscuratus:
Indeed. I'm having really tons of problems maintaining LTE in areas where I always got it with my S3. And Sprint's 3g is so abysmal its really horrible. Chicago area
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gk1984:
I'm south of Chicago and have no trouble at all with 3g or LTE. Maybe it's the area. I have family in joliet and when I'm in that area, I can forget about using data because it just won't work.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] derekwilkinson:
I'm having none of these issues
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rippley05:
I don't have 4G and probably never will while on Sprint, the network is a joke.

The only issue with the one I can think of right now is with the buttons. They sometimes don't respond. A lot of times when unlocking the screen by using the message icon when I have a new text, the back button will not take me to my homescreen. I have to use the home button.

consoles

I have no problems mounting it to pc, it's on my Xbox / ps3 that I want to mount, to watch videos on my phone , I have a HTC EVO 3d and I have to transfer everything I want to watch to it in order to watch it on my consoles
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gk1984:
Could it be because those consoles don't support mtp? Which of this is true, it's the console's fault. Google is moving toward mtp for devices and it appears HTC is doing the same.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] enobscuratus:
In the suburbs the 3g is way better. Try from within the city during the daytime and you'll see how bad it is. Loop or on the near south side where I live is unusable. I imagine its problems with Sprint's back end network rather than the wireless tech itself. But I notice this phone has more trouble staying connected to LTE than my S3 in general
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] noneed2aim:
Every now and then I can't put up the volume wether thru the volume rocker or settings each won't work, a restarting of the phone usually fixes this but it still quite annoying when it happens, any 1 else experiencing this
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] ho4x:
1: Turn on Xbox.

2: Find movie you want to watch in Google "Play Movies & TV".

3: Start movie.

4: Open menu and hit "Select player".

5: You should see "Xbox 360" after a few seconds, click on it.

6: Watch movie on TV, wireless (can even use your phone as a remote to pause/fast forward/rewind).

7: Enjoy your new wireless freedom with some popcorn.

Works on any 360, as long as you are on the same WiFi network. Cables are for amateurs.

There is no porting to be done unless you know how to port the emulator thing from x86 to ARM which is incredibly difficult, at the very least, wait for an ARM based image to be emulated through the SDK, or an ARM based phone to be released with it, but even then it will still be difficult.

[Galaxy Note II, Galaxy S III Developer Discussion ] ffolkes:
Hi,

I was wondering if someone could guide me in the right direction. I'm trying to extend touchwake's functionality to the touchkeys (while holding the device, I find it's easier for me to tap a key than the screen).

I've almost gotten it working by copying the changes to the old cypress driver that had touchwake functionality built in.

Here is my code: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/21884233/cypress-touchkey.txt

The problem is the code in cypress_touchwake_disable(). I get this build error:

cypress-touchkey.c:992:43: error: 'struct i2c_client' has no member named 'update_work'

When I gut the function just to test everything else, touchwake otherwise works as expected. Can anyone suggest how to get touchwakedevdata to have the data it's looking for? I have set touchwakedevdata = devdata; in the probe function, as the original implementation did.

Edit:

Fixed. The problem was using i2c_client instead of touchkey_i2c for *touchwakedevdata.

I used the XDA guide on my Nook Tablet 16gb 1.4.0 to have dual boot of Nook running and Android running at the same time(double touch N key to reach home screen os). It worked amazing for about a year and now my nook will only charge with power off, or turns itself off once plugged in. The CWM v5.5.0.4 that I installed internally still works, I factory reset and it boots normal now but still has charging problem (probably due to excessive use on my part).

Can someone please give me link to zip file to just re-flash the android system back on using the CWM internal?

I can bring up the CWM screen easy and it still recognizes the SD card I used. Also the android OS given at the time you made would be great or one better that you all recommend. Thank You XDA big time, it took me two weeks to properly follow all steps with clean install, and it worked better than I hoped, and loving games like DeadTrigger and EA HotPursuit both looked amazing.

Very odd... I rebooted and it did not seem to help. But force closing the phone app did the trick, halting extreme battery drain. But that's not a solution, obviously. I'm thinking of doing a factory reset.
