[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dwass:
Hi everyone!

I've searched the forums and haven't found a solution or even a question like my situation.

I've run into a somewhat serious problem. I was going out of the country 2 weeks ago so I rooted my phone using the 1-click method while I was still on 4.1.1. I had to root so I could change my APN. I got my phone to work perfectly on another network while I was away, but ran into this problem now that I'm back home.

Verizon pushed the 4.1.2 update onto my phone yesterday and it sorta bricked it... causing it to loop at the blue TEAMWIN splash screen. I downloaded a factory image and flashed it using odin and got the phone to boot back up and load 4.1.1.

Sadly, all the data is gone (extSD is still intact obviously). I had a lot of important notes that I had taken in S Note. I found a nand backup I had made using the recovery mode immdediately after I rooted it from 2 weeks ago. I was ok with not getting the recent stuff back so I went ahead and restored from the nand backup. Phone started up like normal. Things looked ok at first. When I went into S Note though, I could briefly see the thumbnails (no images, just placeholders) for the files I had made... but they disappeared only a second later. I went to explore the S Note folder using Astro and only the default templates could be found. It looks like my files are gone for good. There's nothing on the extSD... seems everything was internal.

I've tried restoring a few times from the same backup... same things keep happening. Other strange observation so far is that my Aldiko app has lost my books library. The epubs are still on the SD card, but it's annoying to have to reload them and I don't remember my places in the books I was reading.

My priority for now is to just see if there's any way to get the S Note files back. It doesn't appear that I had my Samsung Account linked because when I go into settings it says not sync'd.

Is there any hope of getting my S Note files back? The work stuff is crucial and there were significant personal notes too. I feel so stupid for not making more backups just in case something like this happened. :(

Any help is appreciated!

Have you spot that new Opera version is a little bit laggy with that new interface?

Anyway.... is there any way of fixing the adress bar not to hide when scrolling?

Luckily I had a Titanium backup.

Yesterday I made an involuntary hard-reset :-((((

OK, no problem, restoring the last full-backup and thats it... I thought.

But some files had not been restored, because Active-Sync says, that the software is in use... So Pocket-Informant.

The Contact-Database an and appointments-database had not been restored.

Because I have no Outlook installed on my Notebook the full-backup is the onliest backup I have.

Is there another possibility to restore the databases from the backup.

Is there a possibility to terminate poutlook.exe? This will be the application that causes the probs I think...

Lot of thanks for help,

Ciao, Ralf

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuartTheFish:
Does anyone know which is newer, and what changed between the two?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tozenator:
I have XXUAME2, and I've updated my firmware through Kies. I don't remember what I had before. This one must be newer.

Haven't noticed any change, apart from the blue default background in the wallpapers is now a bit darker without the sun flare. I might've noticed a few very minor things in the settings, though I don't remember what they were.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuartTheFish:
Well I was on XXUAMDC when I first got my handset, and flashed XXUAMDN via Odin when getting root access. I found it removed any carrier branding and fixed a bug with the standard launcher not allowing sorting apps in folders properly. Just wondering if XXUAME2 is newer and fixes anything else.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tozenator:
I'll tell you a sad story about XXUAME2.

I rooted my phone a few weeks after I got it, everything worked fine. Then I saw the firmware update in Kies, sure I'll download! I already knew updating stock firmware would remove root, but I could always flash it again. So after I updated my firmware, I flashed root again. This time the phone couldn't recognise the superuser app, and kept alerting that there was a threat (meaning the superuser app) every 5 minutes but root still worked. So I removed superuser completely. The threat messages didn't stop, though. I flashed a clean stock ROM, everything was fine.

Until, an ancient evil awakens! (not really ancient, but...) My Group Play app started acting weirdly. It was constantly 50-70% of my battery drain, even above the screen, on my battery page. I freezed the app and hoped for the best, but it didn't work. I couldn't remove it because my root messed up. BetterBatteryStats didn't recognise anything odd. I asked XDA, but my thread only got 1 answer telling me to look for updates, and none were to be found. Google didn't tell me anything. So I gave up, and did a factory reset. I didn't really mind, I got the phone back running and looking the same in one evening, it's not as if I had years worth of stuff in it yet. This was 2 days ago, and everything seems to be pretty much normal.

I probably messed up somewhere, but thought I'd still write a cautionary tale about updating firmware while rooted. As I mentioned, probably nothing of importance was updated, so it would be a little safer to not update. You won't miss out.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuartTheFish:
The reason for that is chainfire's root method doesn't work for newer versions (or should I say didn't, apparently it does now). The newer kernel didn't allow root access, making the su binary appear to be missing. The error messages are also normal on newer versions, since it detects something is trying to get root access. To get around the missing binary issue, you can use djembey's modified version of getting root instead, which afaik installs the older kernel again so it can actually get root. Then to get rid of the repeated error messages, you have to disable KNOX. Again, it says how in djembey's root thread.

XXUAMDN is one of the newer versions which didn't work via chainfire's method, yet I have root access with no issues after following djembey's thread. Might be worth a look to get yours sorted.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tozenator:
Interesting, very interesting. I might look into rooting one more time, then. Thanks!

Funny how you helped me instead of the other way around. Thanks again, I hope more people notice your thread and maybe you'll get your answer!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuartTheFish:
I have none of those issues, but never did even on the older version. All I did was Google for galaxy s4 update and I found a download link for it along with Odin. But there's also XXUAME2 out there and I don't know which one I'd be better having. Unless the only difference is the radio depending on where in the world you are?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shinasurada:
I cross checked with a note 2 multiple times with the same pages open. The note 2 chrome uses only about 60MB.

On the other hand, the gs4 chrome uses anywhere between 200 to 600MB.

This is insane. I have hard reset the s4 and the same situation occurs.

Is there an explanation for this?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pride_prejudice:
The same issue. Chrome on my note 10.1 works fine, but on S4, it seems to have problems with RAM release. When I close tabs, RAM for chrome doesn't decrease.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AvelonTs:
Which galaxy s4 u have? Because since one gt i9505 user said it cosmume only 60mb maybe it s not optimized for exynos ... which is ridiculous solely to the fact that it comes preinstalled ...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plasmastate:
Chrome Beta on my Exynos i9500 takes up only 233Mb RAM with 3 desktop websites tabs open. The verge desktop, Engadget desktop and pocket now desktop. These are some resource heavy sites. Empty chrome takes about 73-80MB.

I have no idea what you guys are talking about.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skivnit:
That's not normal. when you use chrome on other phones it uses much less ram. I have a tab 2 and a note 2
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AvelonTs:
do you tend to use desktop versions when browsing? i do and it gets so bloated at times ... u close all tabs and chrome still cosmumes 600-700mb ram ... multi-window with chrome is also too buggy due to ram drainage issues ... those from personal experience so despite i like chrome i don't use it anymore

btw my version of chrome isn't characterized as beta
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plasmastate:
Try the latest chrome beta. I have no ram issues or drainage issues as you can see from the pics I posted in my last post. I am gradually using it more and more over the stock because of such stable performance. Even the JavaScript score is better on chrome beta than stock. One known bug is the animation stutter when opening and closing tabs which will be fixed soon. I am running mg5. Maybe it has something to do with the firmware too.

---------- Post added at 08:06 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:03 AM ----------

Seriously? 80mb is not normal? What is the ram usage of chrome on your tab? The pic I posted had big heavy websites loaded which is why it showed 233mb.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] golden_35:
Sorry moderators, put this in the wrong section last time! Feel free to delete previous post!

I spend 50% of my time in the US and 50% of my time in Canada and have a contract with both AT&T and with Rogers.

I am going to buy the S4 soon. Should I get the SGH-I337 variant with AT&T or the SGH-I337m variant with Rogers?

In about 14 months, I will be back in Canada (on Rogers) permanently. So far, I am leaning towards the AT&T variant due to greater rom availability, but I am worried about whether the S4 will work on Rogers 3G bands and LTE network.

The reason I am worried is that I am currently using an unlocked Sprint BB Tour 9630 Quadband on Rogers with specs:

2G Network GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

3G Network HSDPA 2100

CDMA/EVDO Rev A 800/1900

And the Roger's EDGE network barely functions on that phone (many disconnects).

I am a little unfamiliar with network bands, but can you let me know if the phone's 3G radio and LTE radio are identical across Rogers and AT&T?

I read somewhere that Rogers S4 uses 2600 MHz LTE Band and AT&T uses 700 MHz LTE. Is this true? Or does this phone have both LTE bands built in?

Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dj_aj:
After a quick search, I believe both phones should have identical network capabilities.

So you should be able to get LTE and 4G access on either of the networks using either of the phone variants.

The 'M' after the model number is definitely a Canadian carrier thing and it makes no difference. I have a Galaxy S2 from Virgin/Bell which was sold in Canada as GT-i9100M but it was identical to the international GT-i9100. So much so, that I was able to flash the ROM for the international GT-i9100 on my phone without any modifications or complications.

Hope it helps! Or a more senior member can chime in and correct me!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Buddyjohn:
i would recommend going with the rogers i337m. the only reason that there is more roms for at&t version is that there is a stronger demand for them. but any roms meant for i337 will also work on i337m.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] golden_35:
Why would you choose the Rogers version?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] vRoman Godv:
if you were thinking about getting the s4 soon i would go with att variant like you said because of the rom availability, but if you were going to wait, let say a few weeks to a month i would just get the i337m because samsung will probably push another update to ruin djrbliss work to unlock the bootloader. just keep checking back to see if any update gets pushed through and youll be good
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] golden_35:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] golden_35:
Hmmmmm. Thank you all! I may just end up getting the 32gb model from AT&T, since I know the AT&T model has the same radio bands built in for 3G and LTE. I'll just hope for an unlocked bootloader!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] penguinjoe:
AT&T has a locked bootloader, but you can get it in 32GB. However there are works underway to get around the locks.

Rogers has an unlocked bootloader but only comes in 16GB. Unfortunately there are no ways that I know of to get around the lack of internal space and JB does not let you install apps on external SDcards.

If any of your friends have the same phone, borrow their battery for a test, or even a repair shop may let you test to see if it's the battery or phone.. Either way, pull the sim, press the power button for 10 sec. without the battery, re install the sim and battery ( making sure that the connections are clean and not damaged) let the phone charge for an hour and try to boot it again, or boot loader ect.. Also try to re insert battery while charger is plugged into the phone.. ( another thread said that this can help a phone power up )..
