I'm definitely having some issues with the kernel you just changed to. The default one that comes with Pacman is fine but the 2.3 kernel you changed to seems to cause the device to lock up on boot. I know of his kernels they all seem to do it since his 2.1 version (2.0 does not do this and does not have many of the issues associated with vibration or anything else that has popped up). If you do want to use his kernels, I'd recommend starting there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kerns_JW:
I don't have any issues, just need to make sure you use his release kernels not nightlies because of how PAC loads differently than others. He said he would make sure that he would keep us in mind in those instances.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] cold0ero:
I was using the one that came with the latest release of this version of Pacman. The same issues show up in Slim when using the newer line of kernels he produces. I can do clean wipes of everything and I get either issues with lockups when the ROM is loading when using Smartass2 and SIO and fast charge, or if I don't lock up on restart, I get issues with Bluetooth and vibration randomly not starting. All these issues go away with the 2.0 version from the same guy who makes the lite kernel just added.

Linaro is a toolchain in which devs can compile roms and kernals, its just an easier way to build roms, built so that just about anyone who wants to learn can do so easier than having to go old school, makes the process a little bit faster, some say the roms come it smoother but I haven't noticed, maybe that's just me, but as far as what linaro is, its just a toolchain
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bmg002:
I agree. My "trick" when flashing a new ROM is usually to let it sit with default governor/scheduler values and use the phone as I normally would. If it seems stable, then start mucking around with different scheduler/governor settings until it becomes unstable. Mind you I have been having issues with stock settings on the 07/08 build of PAC-MAN in that the system manager becomes unresponsive and I need to let the phone sit for a few min to recover. This results in whatever I am doing seeming to lock up and all buttons becoming unresponsive.

Next time it happens I'll grab a logcat. Thinking it may be an issue with nice and I may just need to re-nice my apps so that system apps have a higher priority, but I am not certain at this time.

I also notice a heat increase in my phone during this time, so I am wondering what it is... I tried disabling mpdecision which was a bad idea: then CPU1 got stuck in offline mode.

Going to try the 7/10 build shortly.

EDIT: Just flashed 7/10 + GAPPs + radio and the ROM boots up nicely, but noticed an odd thing: the internal SD card seems to mount slowly (compared to previous ROMs I tried). Made me panic at first as /sdcard was blank and mount | grep sdcard only showed sdcard1 as being mounted. Turns out patience makes it mount though.

The other issue I had is that vibrator.ko doesn't seem to fully load. Looks like it is partially loaded as insmod and rmmod on vibrator or vibrator.ko throw errors, but lsmod doesn't show vibrator as being loaded. The file exists at /system/lib/modules and I even tried adjusting the permissions to 777 (bad practice I know, but was grasping at straws on how to fix it) and it doesn't seem to load. My next thought is that it is related to the order that the modules are loaded in *.rc maybe?

Further inspection shows that it is loaded by "init.target.rc"... nothing else has any mention of vibrator.ko. Reading the comment prior to loading the module it states "Block this comd temporary. vibrato driver cause reset during boot". Not quite sure I understand what that means, but it sounds to me like the vibrator driver can cause a reboot during boot so this command should be loaded later?

The lines following the insmod of vibrator.ko seem to change the owner and permissions on /sys/class/timed_output/vibrator/enable, but when I check out that /sys/class/timed_output folder, it is empty... so those commands would fail. I is definetly confused on this issue, but several cache wipes and permission fixes and reboots later, I still have no vibration on 7/10 dirty flashed from 7/08.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Kerns_JW:
I find it loaded under lsmod. Haven't had any issues yet. Maybe it's a setting causing it?

As for SD card mount, I agree. I have my wallpaper on that side. Causes a few system ui issues and not sure, but media storage loads for a long time. Figured I would try wiping the card at some point and move some of the ui media back to internal.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Marc MD:
in my experience.. using activesync to back up SMS messages is not a good idea.. problems like this often occurs.. and i think everyone here uses the Sprite Backup PC utility to back up everything in their phone.. as it makes quite complete backups.. well that is only my opinion.. im sure someone from around here will respond to your problem.. good day
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Cyber-mate:
Sprite Backup

Using Sprite Backup is a blessing. The only thing is after a restore operation. If I write a message and delete it usually it goes to the DELETED box and I can view that one. But the case after a restore, those deleted msgs are hidden when deleted :!:

I know that Sprite Backup cannot handel the Database files :(

Which of course makes it hard to retrieve everything back to NORMALE and then I rate it C :!:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Valerieg8282:
Hi,

I purchased the s4 through radio shack 4 days ago. I was having issues with the wifi staying connected for more than a minute. After doing research and reading forums I came to the conclusion it was my router. I've reset it and done firmware updates and changed security to WEP and wifi issue was resolved. However now it is constantly scanning for a wifi network even though it's already connected to one. Have called samsung and radio shack sbout this and am getting various responses such as it is normal, or no it is not normal let's try a a hard reset to see if it fixes the issue. So this forum is my last resort before completely resetting the phone. Should wifi be continuously scanning even if connected to a network or not? Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] CCallahan:
Mine still scans for Wifi about every 4-5 seconds even when connected to Wifi. It seems to be normal and believe it did this on my S3 as well. Unless it is draining your battery I wouldn't worry about it. Also, it may only do it when you are in the Wifi settings and not when you exit but who knows. I get great battery life so it is something I'm not going to worry about.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Valerieg8282:
h

have you asked if it Is normal? Im pretty sure the scanning is affecting my battery life but but not

sure how to check whether it is or isn't. Just dont want to find out months down the road that I have a defective device. Will resetting it fix the?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] CCallahan:
I have not asked because my battery life doesn't seem to be affected by it. Also, I think my S3 did it also. From what I find when doing an internet search everyone else is seeing the same thing so almost positive it is made this way. When I look at the breakdown of battery usage (Settings->More->Battery) Wifi is only using 6% of my battery. Look and see what is using battery on yours. If you need more detailed information on what is using the battery than get BetterBatteryStats from Play store to help pinpoint it. There is a forum just for it where you can post and get help figuring it out if need be.

Also, as for resetting, I just did a factory reset yesterday and it still scans when in the Wifi settings.

The scan interval is probably cooked into the build.prop somewhere by Samsung. Usually apps like Blade Buddy and Rom Toolbox Pro can change it but BB is not compatible yet with the S4 and Rom Toolbox doesn't show the scan option in the build.prop list. I looked at a few of the custom TW roms and not finding any changes to that listed in any build.prop tweaks.

If I had to guess would say there is something else on your device using the battery but using BetterBatteryStats can pin point it for you.

**Edit....From what I am reading it seems there is nothing in the build.prop to edit. A line needs to be added in to change the default scan interval. I'm not 100% positive on this but seems to be the case.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Valerieg8282:
OK I've looked at battery usage and and wifi is at b 4% and screen has the highest percentage eventhough I have it at a lower resolution. However when I click on wifi from the battery setting it says it has only been connected to Wifi for 4hrs. 32 minutes . I've had wifi turned on since I got home last night. Could that be the issue? I did charge the phone overnight unless it shuts off while charging but still my emails would have to sync every hour. Do you know why it would say it's only been connected for 4 hrs if I've been home much longer than tgst? Thanks for the help. And also did you reset your phone due to the wifi scanning?

THANK YOU
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] CCallahan:
I don't know about the reported length of time for WiFi. Mine seems to be accurately reporting when I connected to WiFi this morning at work till now. Maybe it disconnected and then reconnected for something? Do you have multiple bands in your home (2.4ghz & 5ghz) to where it could have jumped between them? Did you walk outside and out of range for a sec? Maybe for some reason it had a hiccup and got disconnected and reconnected. Not sure.

Also, I did a factory reset for a Play Store issue and not because of the WiFi.

Wifi scanning every 5 seconds on my Galaxy s4

Jellybean 4.3 has been responsible for one of the highest complaints to hit android since androids launch.

Wifi overscanning

Battery management

HDMI Completely not working

The list goes on, this is all because some idiots wanted to rush jellybean out to accommodate for the introduction of the Samsung Gear. As a result of rushing it's release many elements were not tested or even included in the update of our much loved now screwed galaxy s4 's

Someone better get there act together and roll out a TESTED release to address all of these screw ups!

When this post was made 7 months ago, the S4 was on 4.2.2 not 4.3. Way to revive an old invalid thread. Also, all the things you mentioned work great on my phone so calm down a little.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] puniksem:
That's funny because as a senior member, your reply seemed neither helpful nor relevant to what I said about the Galaxy S4 being affected by the latest Jellybean 4.3 update (whether I posted on an outdated thread or not) The subject matter remains relevant because the Wi-fi over-scanning while connected is still very much a current issue.

Many users have complained about the numerous errors currently being recently experienced in the latest 4.3 update, many of which have now been announced on the Samsung support forums. I'm in the UK and I see you're in the US. that in itself could make a hell of allot of difference in the errors that UK users may be experiencing. I'm also on T-Mobile and that could also have implications to the version of Jellybean subversion that has been installed.

Telling me I should 'calm down' (just because you're not experiencing any issues with your phone) is not the sort of condescending remark expected from any senior member.

Ok, I have searched a lot on the internet and couldn't find and couldn't find a explanation to my problem. The thing is the I can't get my device to use the H/W decode on HD videos, I have tried a lot of softwares mx player, v player, dice player. I can watch a video that uses the 700x400 for example and the same encoded video in 1280x720 doesn't play, all that come out is sound. In both cases I am using the H/W... I have seem a lot of people saying that HD video works flawless on galaxy s2 if it isn't 10 bit encoded, so I am at a loss here, the S/W one is pretty laggy on my HD videos, that is why I won't use it...

Any leads?

Could you post a highly( just 30 seconds would be enough) trimmed version of the file you're trying to play. Usually all types of hd mkv's has worked flawlessly for me (even in Cyanogenmod.. Lol). If you could, post it in a zip file here.

Yes, I reproduced your same problem, as I thought that particular file encoding is not properly supported(h/w gives audio only, and s/w gives lags) normal 1080p, HD mkv's do play perfectly though just checked it out, If you wanna play that video just use a converter and create a lossless mp4, that should work fine anyway.

I installed a scanning app. When I realized this app was using 10% battery, I froze the app using TB. After freezing and re-booting, I still saw a 9% drain. It was not until I removed the app did it disappear from the battery usage page. Does the battery usage page show real time battery usage? Just trying to understand the 9% battery drain from a frozen app.
[Galaxy S Advance I9070 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] violet.tester128:
The 9% you saw might be what the app used before being frozen. The battery usage is reset when you charge your phone fully. After that, the app shouldn't show up in the battery usage.

Hey all,

I run a P760 with stock JB rooted. I also tried out PACMAN before on the phone, but came back to stock.

One day, when I plugged in the charger of my phone (wall), the phone went off and could not turn it on again until I took the cable out of the phone. The behavior is the same when plugging it in USB. The strange thing is that the phone, while off, charges and runs normally otherwise.

Also, if I plug in the cable without connecting it to the computer, the phone does not turn off.

Anybody knows why this happens?

Thanks!
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] vinguru896:
I was having the same problem with this phone. After searching around on the Nexus forums, somebody mentioned the charging port was bent. Somebody also mentioned that the pins connecting the battery to the logic board were also at fault.

I recently purchased an aftermarket replacement battery, so I thought it might be the latter.

Here's how I fixed it: I took a tiny screwdriver and straightened the charging port connector slightly. I also pulled the battery out and pulled on the connectors near the physical battery a tiny bit with some tweezers (be careful not to rip them out!)

After doing both of these, I plugged my phone in and it stayed on.

Hope this helps.
