[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bzlik88:
These issues are common amongst many users. I personally would not recommend this phone to a friend without telling then about these issues. Its a shame that Samsung has the latest and greatest and then ruin it with these small but important problems.

I'm extremely happy with my phone ONLY because I am rooted and will have access to amazing ROMs that will cure these problems. Software aside, the actually device is amazing and i wouldn't want any other.

The camera could be blurry due to the packaging sticker that most people don't notice and don't remove that's on the camera. Although the sticker has a round cut out and shouldn't affect the picture at all unless its misaligned. Some say its there for protection others say to remove it. Do as u wish.

On the topic of heat, if your charging and heavily using your phone, it DOES get unreasonably hot. Uncomfortable but still not a defect. I'm sure the device is more than capable of handling these temperatures. But it is uncomfortable to hold...this is also very subjective. Hot to me may not be hot to you and vise versa. But I think that it is much hotter than older phones so I understand why people can be alarmed by the difference.

Charging batteries is a wonky topic. Batteries all behave slightly differently. They are temperamental and take time to perform their best. Fully draining and then fully charging ur battery is good practice to ensure good and long lasting performance. But I'd say its too early to call your issue a problem that requires a replacement. If it were, let's say, 75% I'd do something about it. 95? Ehhh not an issue. I suggest getting a larger aftermarket battery anyway if you want acceptable battery life. (12hours)

Thanks guys for your reply,

Really appreciate it :)

Like you guys said the problems are normal :D

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dr. Fed:
Uh... those problems are not normal. Those sound like serious issues and do not seem consistent with a typical S4 experience, at least not mine or the two other people I know that have one. I would even consider that your friend purchased an imitation s4, which are known to exist.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RMXO:
If ever in doubt, return the phone to where she got it from.

I, likewise, have NONE of those issues. At all. I do have occasional stuttering lag, but that's it. If I were having those issues I would send it back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dj_aj:
Though it is possible that there are hardware issues with the device itself, here are some common things to check:

1) Heating is normal when running graphic intensive apps like games. If the phone is heating up while idle, it is a problem.

2) Make sure there is no plastic covering on the front camera. The picture may appear gritty on the screen but transfer it to a computer and check the resolution.

3) I am almost certain it is taking forever to charge because she may be using an old charger or an old usb cable. The S4 comes with a different charger output (0.5V and 2 A) & will charge the phone quickly. The older chargers are (0.5V & 1A), which will charge the S4 but take forever.

Check these things first. If any of these are off, replace the phone asap!

Is there a way to change the colour of the icons in the status bar from blue to green? I have looked on the forum & googled it but with no success.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] travisjshepherd:
if you're of CM 10.1, google play "cm10.1 green theme"
[Galaxy Tab 2 Themes and Apps] eejee:
If you don't want a different theme but just change the icons, use Rom Toolbox. You might need the pro version, but that is worth every cent. Or penny, or whatever your currency is :)

I was wondering if you know any cases that protect the S4 against (strong) impact (smashing the concrete) but with a neat colour to it (something fresh like lime, Orange, soft yellow, soft pink..) ? :)

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 Accessories] NinjaDonkey:
Hi all,

I've been to the Javo site and am VERY interested in one of their cases... The thing is, I'm a bit concerned as to whether the case will fit properly.

They say on their site that the case fits the following devices:

XDA II/Qtek 2020/MDA II and iMate Phone edition.

I know the SPV M1000 has different button designs to that of the XDA II etc, but I've done some research on the MDA II and from what I can tell it looks almost identical to the SPV M1000 except for black plastic around the button areas.

Could someone please confirm this fact as I've been in touch with JavoEdge about this but they haven't got/had an MDA II in for them to be able to check this.

Seems a bit silly to me that they would say the MDA II fits their case if its design is different to that of the XDA II!!!

Does anybody know what I have to do if I want to listen to FM radio on Galaxy S4 that uses Exynos?

I own a Korean version so it has T-DMB(mobile TV)function,but the channels at the local area isn't so various as radio.

I tried an app called Spirit FM,but non of the settings I tried worked at all.

I desperately need help Right Now.Please XDA dudes(or gals),help me,would you?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mithrandir007:
Unfortunately, there is no FM radio on either model this time around, and I think it's the same with the Korean model :(

The hardware should be there as part of the wifi/bluetooth chip, but it doesn't seem to be connected.

Maybe I'm wrong and someone will be able to enable it in the future, but I doubt it...

How can I do that
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] -EViL-KoNCEPTz-:
You need a modified messaging apk to do it thru the app while using notifications. Easier way is to download sms popup from the market, disable notifications in the messaging app and use sms popup to get your notifications, in its settings theres an option to disable screen on, and with notifications off in stock messaging it won't turn on either. Sms popup is nice cuz you can quick reply from the popup, choose you notification icon, and individual ringtones and vibrate patterns per contact. I use it on TW and some AOSP roms that don't have popup or quick reply added in.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] xhepera:
I have a couple of odd problems with my Galaxy S2 that appear to be getting worse.

The phone sometimes freezes during a phone call, requiring a reboot. When this happens I notice that the proximity sensor appears to be stuck "on." It glows a dim red color in any case. This happens usually after I have been on a call for a while (say 20 minutes or so). It also sometimes appears to occur when the phone of the person with whom I am speaking drops the call.

The other issue is that the phone sometimes randomly turns on by itself, then freezes. I never see this happen as it occurs when the phone is not in use. I will pull it from my pocket or take it from my book bag (where it's just been sitting on top, not being jostled around or anything) to see a dimmed screen that's frozen.

Does anyone have any ideas as to what might be causing these behaviors. I've cleared the cache and dalvik cache as well as the app cache; and still the problems persist.

my comment on the 9090

If you dont already have a XDA II, it is worth it i think

if you do own a xda2 its a wast of money

if you really want wifi, buy a sd wifi card, aint that expensive and when u browse the inet with it you dont need the 1 gig sd card or so you just replaced..

windows 2003se is comming for xda2 so horizontal browsing is possible soon

the keyboard is nice, you can also buy a bluetooth one or a click on unit
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] -=[RD]=-:
I agree. it is totally useless if u own xda2,qtek2020 or mda2.

I find such onboard keyboards very annoying and it only makes the pda thicker and heavier. BT keyboard from Stowaway is now available in the Netherlands for around 119 - 139 EUR. Temporarily out of stock though :(

Does the new 9090 support BT profile for listening to audio and not only makeing phone calls? I want to listen to mp3s on my BT headset.... :lol:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iovaniorgovan:
I don't think this is a software issue, but a hardware one.

I disassembled an S4, I unmounted the earpiece speaker. It comes attached with 2 more sensors.

I made a test call with the back case disassembled so I could press with my finger against the earpiece speaker and the crackling noise dissipated away.

Its like by pressing on it the vibration of the speaker was limited and it sounded pretty normal at max volume.

As a workaround, I inserted a piece of low density foam (found in many packaging boxes) between the earpiece and the front speaker grill and the distortion appeared again, but fainter, after I mounted the back case (speaker assembly) and tightened the screws. Indeed, like others said, its best heard when ring tone is playing when calling someone.

The earpieces is found for $3 on ebay as spare parts, maybe I'll try a new one.

I really hope its not a Samsung design flaw. Check the pics. Thoughts?

I'm pretty upset. I paid a lot of money for this phone, it has a problem and I don't like to send it to service to get it raped by some uncaring hands. I would like to have it changed, I hope its not going to be a difficult process as many things are in my country after you pay the money. How hard was it for you to get it changed?

Has this issue been treated in other threads on the internet?

Little offtopic: the best in call sound experience I had was/is with Blackberry Bold series. They have a clear sound, crisp, no distortion, even with a little bass. Sounds solid. Too bad is that limited.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shankarmys:
The problem is with Adapt Sound!, disable it in sound settings [Call Sound] and everything should be fine. Hope this helps:good:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iovaniorgovan:
I would incline to say "no, it's not", but it's not my type, so I'm saying it might be Adapt Sound's fault, but in my case it wasn't. Once the headset speaker has been replaced under warranty, the call sound is back to normal. I never used AdaptSound, before and after.

Isn't adapt sound supposed to be used with stereo headphones only?

Yes you can directly restore the backup. But remember that if the backup was of a different android version then you have to flash a kernel too for the backup. If your backup was of ICS and your current rom is also based on stock ICS then you can directly restore the backup
