battery life & heat issues

Hi Everyone,

Nice to see that we have a thread dedicated to Malaysian users.

Just a quick questions, I just got my I9505 2 weeks ago; I'm starting to realize that the phone heats up quite often when I surf facebook or read the news, also, battery drain is very significant, especially when 3G Data is turned on, battery can drop as much as 1% every 2 - 3 minutes.

I just went to Samsung earlier today, and they gave me a new battery, yet to put the battery to the test; but Samsung did say that if this problem persists, then they will replace the phone's motherboard for me.

Just wanted to know if anyone else here is facing this problem?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] mughal90:
Welcome to the forum. Heating issue was a problem initially but after recent updates it has improved a lot. What is ur current build number ? Try upgrading to the latest firmware, both heating and battery issues will be better if not resolved. For the battery try running on power saving mode, turn off sync and can use apps like battery doctor which give u 5 - 6 extra hours.

Hi, glad to know here got forum for Malaysian.

I want to ask Sifu & Guru here to check out the latest modem for I9505. I'm now using omega rom, and baseband version is XXUBMGA.

I need to know which modem best for Malaysia.
[Galaxy S 4 General] interate:
yeah i have that issue too. overheating. feels like something is burning in my pocket. i don't think it's the rom issue, i've flashed foxhound, omega, arhd roms, and different kernels too, they are all the same. in my case, changing a new battery doesn't help.

so today i decided to turn on the power saving mode, and yeah it helps. my phone is not hot anymore. i guess it must be related to the chipset? in some thread people said that turning off the motion and gestures will help to reduce the heat, but then again what's the point of buying s4 if we disabled these functions right?

any update regarding your phone after changing the battery? i wonder if u guys who is using i9500 having the same overheating issue too?

Hi Guys,

Just an update with the new battery.

Power consumption has definitely improved, im looking at 4-5% drop every hour when the phone is idle, with 3G turned on and just being left idle.

Battery drops around 1% every 4-5 minutes when surfing facebook or other social apps on Wi-Fi, battery drops around 1% every 3-4 minutes when doing the same on 3G.

Idle temperature of the phone is around 25-27 degres, and temps go up to around 38-39 when surfing the net or social sites.

So this is my observations so far after having the battery replaces.

Anyone else has any updates on their phone issues?
[Galaxy S 4 General] kljs:
Using custom ROM here.No issues so far. Voided my warranty the very next day after buying my S4. Anyway, you should try greenify(find in play store).This app will help your phone drain even less battery. But the problem is that you need to root your phone in order to use it!

Update Day 3

Hi Guys,

Alright, took the phone off the charger around 7.45 am this morning, currently battery is sitting at 57%.

I was surfing facebook and having some whatsapp conversations on 3g, battery started to drop 1% every 2 minutes.

3G data has been on since I unplugged my charger; didn't do much; I've only had 45 minutes of screen on time.

I'm starting to think that this is not merely a software problem, but more towards a hardware problem.

Can anyone please provide any updates on your device?
[Galaxy S 4 General] kljs:
Your Baseband version? Build version? What other apps are you using?

Day 4 Update

Hi Guys,

Seems like the problem is still there, I was on 3G Data for about 10 minutes, and my battery dropped around 9%. At the moment, phone has been unplugged for 6 hours, screen-on time is only at 2 hours, and battery is sitting at 36%. :crying:

I am thinking of selling my S4 off, and perhaps switching to HTC or maybe just wait for the Note 3.

I am utterly disappointed at how bad this device is at the moment; definitely disappointed at Samsung for this inconsistency with their product launches.Looking around on XDA, we can see that our US peers are getting from 4 - 6 hours of screen on time, and battery still at 30 - 40 % at the end of the day.

Anyone with updates on their device?
[Galaxy S 4 General] mughal90:
Battery time is really disappointing. Try using battrry doctor n power save mode. Together I got abt 4-5 extra hours of battrry time.

Battery Doctor

Hi Mughal90,

I am on power saving mode with Battery Doctor, sadly still seeing steep battery drops, and huge amounts of battery.

As of now, battery is down to 26% since my last post, but I've only sent a few messages on whatsapp.

I am seriously considering to change to another manufacturer

[Galaxy S 4 General] aaron_lwm:
Replacement

Hi Mughal,

I've replaced the battery from SC once; they told me that if I still face problems, they will replace the phone's motherboard for me.

But if this truly is an inherent problem for the S4, then regardless, I will still face the same problem.
[Galaxy S 4 General] kljs:
It is probably the stock ROM not optimize. If you are desperate then go root your phone(thus voiding your warranty) and install greenify. And if you have LINE install, use greenify to put it into hibernation.

is ubuntu necessary?? or can i do it with Windows??
[Desire General] jmcclue:
really dont know, but from reading guides before about porting roms, 90% of them say best use ubuntu but for me, learning how to to use ubuntu was probably harder than porting a rom haha so hats off to the devs.
[Desire General] KernelDev101:
Yes you can use windows to build or port kernels but it is much much harder than just using ubuntu. Ubuntu has 90% of the things needed already but with using windows you need to install alot of things to make it work. will take twice as long using windows tbh. Better off getting hold of say a 80Gb hdd and installing ubuntu onto it and using it as just a development OS. If your thinking porting kernel 3 is going to be easy your very very mistaken. Kernel 3 will take months to port and while noonamer has ported a good 80% much more things still need to be done as your device is not designed to run kernel 3. I don't have desire so could not really say but let me tell you if you do not know anything about kernels or do not even know how to port then the chances of you getting it done are about 6%. Now i am not trying to put you off giving it a go but i am just stating the facts. :) xx
[Desire General] :
Let's wait first for kernel 3.x anyway, and start porting then.:)
[Desire General] HandyBesitzer:
Can i take cygwin instead of a Linux install?? Because cygwin i allread have installed
[Desire General] abaaaabbbb63:
You could try this thing

http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows

Boot ubuntu from usb. Easy, and you won't struggle that much. Virtual machines and cygwin are a pain in the ass.
[Desire General] Chromium:
I found running ubuntu off a usb really slow, even though my pc is pretty decent.

Like abaaaabbbb63 said, virtual machines and cygwin are even worse.

I would recommend dual booting it with windows. Its actually quite easy to setup.

I watched this guide and literally had everything done in about ten minutes.

Its definitely the best way to go if you want speed.
[Desire General] KernelDev101:
It literally takes me like 30 minutes to get ubuntu installed get all needed software for compiling installed and get everything set up. You need to install git you need to get a JDK installed then you need to get hold of a tool chain then install adb + fastboot best installed via PPA. then your still not ready because you will need to learn basics of git then you will need t o learn how to compile aswell. If your new to kernel development your going to need to study kernel development before you even think about setting up a linux machine. This studying is needed because some people will open up multiple threads because they failed to study it before setting up the machine. Best thing you can do is study study study ;) x

It took me 3 days to learn how to port kernels, compile and it is very hard :) xx
[Desire General] HandyBesitzer:
Maybe you can tell me :D.

JDK still installed and adb + fastboot too :D

I'm waiting for aosp kernel 3.x first.. then merge them with HTC kernel.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Austempest:
Hi Guys,

I want to change my CID in order to S-OFF, in order to downgrade my touch panel firmware in order to install an AOSP ROM. (currently stock Tesltra ROM)

I've unlocked my bootloader via HTCDev, installed TWRP 2.5.0.0, and used TWRP to install SuperSU (root checker verifies root).

I've spent the last 4 hours searching this forum and have so far tried:

The one click unlock with Telstra mod. It failed to recognise my device as telstra, even though "fastboot getvar cid" returns with "TELST001". I opened the bat file with notepad, it seems to be trying to modify line 214, where if i look at the ORIG file, the CID is on line 210.

So i found the hex edit of mmcblk0p4 method. I can successfully pull the mmcblk0p4 file and modify it to replace TELST001 with 11111111 and save the file. When i push it back to the SD card and transfer it to /dev/block/ it all appears to work normally as per screenshots i've found arouns here. But it doesn't. If i pull the mmcblk0p4 back off the phone as soon as i have put the modified one there it appears to have reverted to TELST001, or never have over written the original in the first place.

Do i need to do anything special to write to /dev/block/ if i'm in the adb shell with SU access?

P.S. using the command "fastboot oem writecid 11111111" doesn't work for me, not that i really expected it to.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] cr1960:
Just make sure you're pushing the modified file back to you phone and not the backup file. I did exactly what you're describing to supedcid my device and it worked fine, so there's no problem with the process.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Austempest:
lol, yeah that was the first thing i checked.

I've tried this process about 10 times now, and everything seems to work (i.e. no error messages), but everytime i pull the file back out of /dev/block/, it's in an unmodified state.

I transfer the mmcblk0p4MOD file to the SD card, then open it in a hex editor on my phone and it says "11111111" in the right place (and deleting the old mmcblk0p4 file that i origionally pulled from /dev/block/). I use "dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p4MOD of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4" to put it back into /dev/block. Then i immediately use "dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4 of=/sdcard/mmcblk0p4" to place a copy of mmcblk0p4 back on the SD card and the hex editor shows it as "TELST001" again

Could it have anything to do with being on a stock kernel or have the software version of 3.17 ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Reopen the file with your hex editor, make sure it changed. Some hex editors won't allow you to save the file unless a setting is changed. There's no way the file is changing as you flash it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Austempest:
Yep, tried that. Open the file, change the CID to 11111111, save as MOD then close. Reopen the file to check the changes and it all good.

Even after i've pushed the file to the SD card, i open it again and it's still modified with "11111111".

push it to /dev/block/, pull it back off and its back to TESLT001 again.

the only thing i can think of is that it's not letting me modify /dev/block/ for some reason. But wouldn't there be some sort of error message in the adb shell if that were the case?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
yes, are you root when you push it? maybe pastebin?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Austempest:
Yes, the phone is rooted and i've given the adb shell SU privileges.

I'm probably misinterpreting you, but how would pastebin help?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Austempest:
For some reason the permissions of that file in /dev/block seem to be different to the other files around it, as per the attached screen shot.

Should i manually change it to brw------- ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Austempest:
Would this have anything to do with my HBOOT being 2.14 ?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Must be write protection from the software version. I don't think you'll be able to change it... Hmm.. try running that push command from the TWRP terminal. Don't su, twrp doesn't use su.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Austempest:
Nope :(

I booted into TWRP, opened the Terminal Command (don't know if that was neccessary, but i did anyway)

Then i pushed the MOD file to the sdcard again (after double checking it had "11111111" in it)..etc...etc... see the attached image

Still said TELST001
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
through twrp terminal you have to type it in the phone directly
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] FSB:
I have the same situation as you. I think the files are either locked or on reboot they are overwritten with originals.

I am 2.14 plus I had taken all updates, prior to unlocking and loading twrp.

I am running Viper

I also tried using terminal on the phone, bit it would only copy the file to the sdcard not to the root directory

I slso tried it throught TWRP and terminal.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nitens:
That seems odd. Not going to be much help, but I'm on hboot 2.14 and got scid to stick. Jumped off Telstra rom in march, but took all ota updates until then.

Yes, i most defiantly did. That was the guide i was following
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Austempest:
i knew that .... ;)

Just tried that now. In "browse to starting folder" in the Terminal in TWRP, i chose the SD card. Then entered "dd if=/sdcard/mmcblk0p4MOD of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4" (i double checked before entering TWRP that the mmcblk0p4MOD file contained the SuperCID code).

It seemed to have the same out put of 2+0 records in, 2+0 records out, as in the CMD screenshot above.

and ....."(bootloader) cid: TELST001"

sigh
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thejosh86:
When I lost my last One XL and got a replacement that came with JB Firmware and 2.14 hboot on it.

I got SuperCID by using the jet toolkit and then it was cake to get s-off.

Don't bother downgrading the hboot version with jet though when I did it was unsuccessful and just left me with a blank screen and a little scare till I restored the backup it made.

Besides once you're s-off you can do that by running an earlier RUU.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Austempest:
Yeah, i was thinking Jet was the next step. I just need to find my Ubuntu LiveCD around here somewhere. It's been a while since i've delved into Linux, but it's like riding a bike right?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] exad:
Jet tool will be your best bet. Be careful as it purposefully bricks your phone to force a downgrade.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Austempest:
I was just about to try that when i was chatting with beaups and he said that the software 3.17.841.9 had write protection on the CID partition, so he stepped me through downgrading to 3.17.841.2.

Then it was just a case of re unlock, TWRP, root, and SuperCID. Then it worked.

I'll write up the process tomorrow for others to read.
