[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Briztama:
With all means i did respect everyone that's trying to help.

It just that he mentions the exact thread that i was posting, its like saying carrot is vegetable because carrot is vegetable :silly:

so back to topic, there are 2 methods, so which one should i take?

and how to check my S4's version? as for how to guide i can try to follow the steps in that thread, and if a problem came up i'll ask it here..

i have rooting experience and i have idea for what am i going to do :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lzk123:
To check version, go to Settings>More>About Device

I'm not sure about rooting part, since mine is quadcore version and the process might be different
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamdogg:
I wouldn't use either of those methods. They require too much transferring between PC and device. Which is where incomplete flashing and hard bricking occurs.

I would just flash CWM using odin... Then you can do what ever you want i.e. flash super user, or a kernel or custom ROM that has root.

If your boot loader is locked (Like the AT&T version) then you will need to unlock that first, then root.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WitchMX:
Excuse the noob question. How do I know if my bootloader is unlocked. I bought my phone in an airport in the duty free and is sim unlocked, but I dont know if the bootloader is unlocked.

In case it is unlocked, then the new cofface CWM should be able to root my phone?

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamdogg:
Is it the i9500? Then thats unlocked.

The i9505 is mostly unlocked unless its from AT&T...

Yes you should be able to just flash CWM using ODIN, and you are good to go. If the bootloader is locked then the flash using ODIN wont work. Thats all. Nothing will happen. (it wont stuff up your phone)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WitchMX:
Yes it is the Exynos model. Im gonna give it a try then... I need my Titanium Back Up to clean some bloatware
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamdogg:
All good. You are set to go!

Take a look at my youtube channel (link in the signature)

I've done a look at a few things to fix the S4 octa. Like a kernel that fixes zRam issues and a ROM review on both the OMEGA ROM and wanam ROM...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Briztama:
What are you saying is we really don't need any PC to root this? and what's ODIN?

When i root my HTC there's specific 'HTC only' files called HBOOT, Unlock_code.bin through HTCDev.com website

is ODIN specific 'Samsung only' files as well?

I know I've root my Samsung Galaxy Young S5360 but that thing's already come pre-rooted, just like my Galaxy Note 2

(forgot to add both to my sig, maybe after rooting s4 -.,-)

Also, how to unlock Samsung's bootloader in general? It doesn't need SamsungDev.com website or such right? :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamdogg:
ODIN is a tool that you use on your PC.

You plug your S4 into your PC via USB and then ODIN adds the clockwork mod recovery files to the system.

- This is a video i created on how to root the galaxy Note. So for your S4 its exactly the same, except the file you are flashing is different.

Link: Kernel to flash...

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1985575&d=1369329536

Once you have flashed this kernel, then when you reboot it will say you are not rooted, do you want to root. So you just say yes, and then it will reboot and you are done...

[YOUTUBE]Z0m-kyUMV8s[/YOUTUBE]
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Briztama:
There's no ODIN for S4 octa core version?

1.85 is for GT-I9505... :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] REVERSiN:
I don't know why making a great deal out of it it's very simple you can use cofface method HERE and then goto odin 3.07 which does support i9500.... set his file in the pda section and flash it (of course when you are in download mode) thats about it, goto recovery and use the root option there is a menu for rooting in there.

these are the files use them http://d-h.st/WM2

don't forget to stop by his thread and hit the thanks button.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamdogg:
ODIN is a tool thats generic. You can use the latest version and it will work
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greggCc:
I've been following this thread and have used your method hamdogg and don't think I'm rooted. It seemed too easy. How can I check?? I tried an app that says I need root access, and it didnt work. So am I right to assume that I am not rooted?

Thanks..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamdogg:
Hi Gregg. If you flashed the kernel then you will need to boot into CWM, then select 'reboot'. Once you have done that it will prompt you to 'root'.

Thats it... easy. Then your apps that require root will work.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greggCc:
Awesome! It works now. Thanks I really appreciate the help. First time rooter, first time android user actually... :victory:

[One (M7) General] kudoboi:
46 degree c now. It's not that bad considering it was 64 earlier when charging and I live in Singapore
[One (M7) General] Terrorantula:
That is nothing, my GS2 would get to 80c.

It's the battery I worry about as 25c is peak operation 40c it's already lost half of its life before recharge. The batteries get hot during charge though isn't probably a bad thing because it increases capacity.
[One (M7) General] alanchai:
This is what i am worried about too. Since the battery are not removable. Hopefully the heat won't cause any damage to the battery. :fingers-crossed:
[One (M7) General] ArmedandDangerous:
Batteries are made to withstand much hotter than 40c :D If it wasn't the case, batteries would just die in ambient temp in some summer countries :P
[One (M7) General] Terrorantula:
It wont do damage to the battery as long as the battery doesn't go over 60c. It just means it'll discharge quicker and you'll have to put it through another cycle. Modern phones have like 2 years of cycles in them in you charge each day before until the life starts to become noticeable that it dropping off. I think I saw something where they're at about 80% after a year of charging per day. At the same time not using the battery is bad for it too..

So tbh I wouldn't worry about it as contracts last 2 years.

---------- Post added at 09:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 AM ----------

Yeh but they discharge quicker as they become hot, usually the battery doesn't get hot on a summers day unless you leave it out in the sun. That is why they die so quickly under heavy use because they get really hot.
[One (M7) General] Shasarak:
I've seen my battery hit 47 degrees. I asked HTC tech support about this. The guy clearly had no idea but went away and asked someone and came back with the answer that, so long as it's below 55, you should be okay. I hope he's right.
[One (M7) General] Riyal:
get kernel tuner and look at the "battery temperature". Some apps like GSAM takes the processor temperature and not the battery temp.

Or also dial *#*#4636#*#* and go to the battery statistics page. You should see there your real battery temperature. It's kinda strange about you guys reaching 40c on battery temperature as I live in a tropical country and this month is peak of summer season. And I only get like 27c on my battery temperature right now with regular use.

[One (M7) General] hamdir:
This is the most puzzling issue for me so far

I fully agree with [MENTION=5203225]Terrorantula[/MENTION] the problem is at hot temps it consumes battery quicker

i was using my uncle's unit for a while and i reported it doesnt get hot easily, my own unit is different though, its around 40C all the time during ordinary use as well

im worried about both drain and throttling in gaming

now i have a like an OCD about the previous unit

definitly we need to look into this, the funny part my own unit is supposed to consume less since its PVS3 vs PVS2, im even thinking we got it all wrong about PVS maybe the lower PVS is the better one?
[One (M7) General] jizang:
How is the temperature while playing heavy games like DH4
[One (M7) General] ataft:
I get 40-41 on DH4. Maybe a few moments hit 42.

Right now, I'm charging my phone and using some low-demand apps and I'm sitting at 38. I believe it usually sits a little lower than that.

PVS4 here.
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
DH4?
[One (M7) General] ataft:
Dungeon Hunter 4. It's a decent looking game, so I imagine it pushes the phone fairly hard. I've come across times when it has noticeably slowed down. But that may be due more to lack of optimizations for the S600.

It's a gameloft game though, so you know they will try to screw you for money. And that is definitely the case with this game. Really good game, but you gotta be patient.
[One (M7) General] rocketpaul:
I get high temps very often, I guess this is the cost of the premium aluminum build.
[One (M7) General] ataft:
I'd think the aluminum build would help keep temps lower as it transfers heat more easily. I'm guessing the S600 and the battery combination are the cooker in this one.

...how the hell does Samsung get away with it's faster clocked s600?
[One (M7) General] hamdir:
they dont like reported by Anandtech, the SGS4 s600 gets hot and throttles all the time

the HTC One does better the aluminum makes you feel the heat more yes but in the same time it's doing you a favour and acting as a head sink to get rid of it, it doesn't throttle this easily

there is nothing to worry about except yes extra battery drain, considering it only heats on heavy use, heavy use = drain, very sound logic, same on the iPhone 5
[One (M7) General] gbharaj:

[One (M7) General] Skizzy034:
How the hell did it still work at 80?! lol
[One (M7) General] FangorX:
Haha the thermal controls should crash the phone before it gets that hot. And if it didn't, the battery would enter a thermal runaway state where it self-discharges and gets even hotter on its own and probably ruin the battery/explode.

That being said my Samsung Infuse battery once hit somewhere between 60 and 70 while charging under a pillow. It was almost too hot to pick up and the battery capacity was permanently cut in half.
[One (M7) General] sauprankul:
Sounds rough man. At least you could get a new battery for it though!
[One (M7) General] eSportler:
don't know the exact temperature while using Tom Tom, Car Mode, Bluetooth Audio Streaming and Charging with the official HTC One Car kit and my htc was so damn hot because the sun burns on it too^^

Did someone noticed that the red LED which indicates loading began to flash continiusly? Should I worry about that?...
[One (M7) General] Ardmanz:
Yup, the official car charger likes to cook the battery (there have been reports in other threads).

Mine reached 50.2 degrees yesterday. I really don't know if this is ok or not. It only ever happens when I'm using it in the official car dock. It did cool down a bit after that (to about 46 degrees). It didn't charge at all in this period.

Edit - I have had 2 different One's (old one had a camera fault) and they both did this (on both stock and custom roms).
[One (M7) General] OllieArmageddon:
The light flashing means it's overheating. On my old sensation if you charged it and it over heated it would discharge through the charger, literally go from 90% to 10% in just a few minutes and flash both LEDs at once
[One (M7) General] skr_xd:
Ambient temperature in my place (Gulf) went upto 54℃ last week:)
[One (M7) General] Ardmanz:
Can it cause lasting damage?

I assume the phone just throttles the CPU or shuts down before it does permanent damage?
[One (M7) General] eSportler:
I hope so!

Didn't recognize that it will get discharged by the car mount.

Maybe HTC changed this behaviour with the m7.

[One (M7) General] Ardmanz:
Well, when I say it discharged I mean the charger was no longer charging so it was just discharging through use as it would if there was no charger attached.

Ah okay, sorry ^^

Yeah it didn't charge when the red led is flashing.

Just turning on the air conditioning and egerything will be fine for me :)

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjs82:
Hi guys,

Please bear with me as I've never owned an Android phone before.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 I9505 and last week, it started having major battery drain of around 4%-5% per hour of idle screen-off time. This was much more severe than it was in the first two weeks of ownership, which was only about 1% or less an hour. Unfortunately, I have not been able to fix this issue.

I had heard about wake locks in Android, so I downloaded the app Wake Lock Detector and ran it a few days ago. It seemed from the analysis that by far the biggest consumer of my battery was a "com.sec.app.clockpackage". Here is the screenshot I took from the app a few days ago.

tinypic.com/view.php?pic=qzhohx&s=5

I tried googling this and it seems related to the alarm clock???!!! However, I couldn't find anything to help solve my problem. Even after I turned off the alarm clock and deleted all alarms set nothing would solve the problem.

The problem persisted and I decided a few hours ago after having the problem for half a week to factory reset the phone, thinking that I had some rogue application. After resetting the phone, I immediately installed Wake Lock Detector and nothing else.

However, that did not solve the problem. This is another screenshot I took from the app just a while ago.

tinypic.com/view.php?pic=20rx9f&s=5

If you would note, once again com.sec.app.clockpackage is dominating the partial wake lock list.

Could anyone please help me with this - How come a factory reset did not help restore it to how it was when I first bought it, when I didn't have this issue of draining 5% battery per hour? One thing I have noticed is the number of wake locks for com.sec.app.clockpackage is approximately the same in number as com.sec.phone, although that process takes up far less time overall.

Would anyone be able to help me out? I don't know much about these technical things. Many thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbbb2004:
Hi,

I have the same problem. Not with the clock but after 2 weeks it started to have major battery drain. i don't know what to do in order to solve this.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjs82:
Hi bbbb2004, it seems like no one has been able to help us so far.

However, did you also initially have no problems with the battery and it only started getting worse a few weeks in?

Maybe you could also try Wake Lock Detector to try to find out what the cause is. From the pics I posted, I found out what the cause is on paper, but I have no idea what it actually is...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bbbb2004:
I did try Wake Lock and saw the problem: 1. exchange service 2. com.facebook.katana and third place is facebook messenger. Initially, when i bought the phone i had no problems but after 2 weeks it started to get worse. Interesting thing is that now is going down like 12-15% / hour almost without any usage and the phone gets really hot in the camera area.

Today the phone died while the battery was at 43%. The left corner led was blinking blue and no button was working. The only thing i could do to start was to remove the battery and put it back.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jjs82:
Been quite a while and the problem still hasn't resolved itself. On a daily basis, I can get up to one hour of wake lock from the reading on Wake Lock Detector and GSam battery monitor. (and they show exactly the same time)

I have however gotten a bit closer to trying to solve the issue. The wake lock seems to clock much more faster at my house than when I'm outside. If I'm out all day, I can come back with only around 3-5 minutes of wake lock from com.sec.app.clockpackage. It still accumulates over time, but at a substantially lower rate.

I have no alarms set.

The only thing I can think of is that reception at my house is not superb, and does fluctuate based on the indicator bars shown on the phone. However, I don't think that fluctuating reception can cause a wake lock for com.sec.app.clockpackage, which is something to do with clocks presumably.

Anyone have any other ideas?
