Hi

Same Problem with me, i tried to change Battery, Charger, Reinstalling Framework but these can't help...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deaddvz:
I had this problem too, but in my case it was wall charger brick, i tested my own charger which i used for 2 years and "Galaxy Charging Current" app showed that my Max and Average current is 460mA, then i used my brothers new charger and Max current was 1000mA and quickly went to 900mA...

My charging port is kind of broken, then i move cable Max mA starts jumping from 1000mA to 600mA+... (sometimes lower, but comes back to ~800mA quick )

My cable was good, but charger brick wasn't

Maybe this helps someone :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] toptekjon:
I'm having a really hard time deciding between the at&t version of the S4, and the soon to be released "Google Edition" of the S4.

I have the ATT version now, and running TouchWiz, it's one of the laggiest phones I've ever used! Non stop lag throughout the UI, and particularly in the SMS app of all places...the keyboard freezes completely and the S4 just runs like absolute dogs**t.

I've disabled everything that can be and that helps quite a bit, but I still have lag.

I definitely want the stock android experience and understand I'd lose some features from the touchwiz/carrier version, which I am fine with.

Where' I have a hard time deciding is on cost. The carrier version is $250 for 32gb for me, vs the $650 google edition.

What do people here think? Will the carrier verision be able to run STOCK android every bit as well as the one google releases? I want as flawless a phone as possible. My nexus 4 is amazing, except for the terrible battery life and lack of LTE, so I want an S4 that will run android as well as the nexus.

Will the carrier S4 handle the google edition rom once that's (hopefully) released? Any stability or performance issues I should be aware of?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] KY Wildcats:
No one can be certain given ATT's behavior with the s4, but IMO it is safe to get the ATT version. My phone already feels like the google edition thanks to task650's AOKP, things will only get better for us when the GE is released
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CAG-man:
I would say the AT&T is still a worthy device. I too was in your laggy shoes. As much as I want to flash a custom ROM I am going to wait a bit before I do. Mainly, I want to see if the GE will support the added features such as the ir blaster. If they do I'm waiting for Roms to include those from the GE.

I know you have disabled a bunch of stuff already but I disabled practically everything Samsung on the phone and found replacements and kept what I wanted. I'm sure you have too.

In a short end of things while I'm still stock I am more of Nova/Google device with a back end of touchwiz. Adjusted some settings in Nova and the device settings. Its been a few weeks so I will have to look back and see exactly what I set but my laggy phone is now quite snappy.

I'd say stick it out because I personally feel confident the GE will flash fairly well on our devices. If I'm wrong then I guess I'll be waiting a little longer for a ROM I like or just a Galaxy S5 or S6.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] toptekjon:
Thank you very much for the reply. I'll give that ROM a try now...

I've used CM10 on here, but even that was a little laggy. My main reason for switching back to touchwiz though, was so that I could use my 64gb exFat SD card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Cheeze[iT]:
I was in the same boat. Love the s4 hate the lag but didn't want to pay the premium for the Google s4. I found the best for me is flashing GoldenEye ROM which is just the international ROM on our att model. It takes out the lag and keeps the phone like stock. Love it. :)

Is recommend trying it.... It'd be just like you have it now with all the features but no are bloat / lag
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] toptekjon:
Good advice, thank you.

I have disabled just about everything with the word Samsung or AT&T in it also!

Changed my animation settings as well, and running Nova on top/ in place of TW now and it's mostly tolerable.

I have a few days left to make my decision...the replies here will help. Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CAG-man:
Interesting. I might take a look. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CZ Eddie:
Other than the Smart Stay and camera, TouchWiz doesn't really do anything for me.

If those are critical to you then I'd go with the AT&T phone since it's less expensive.

For me, had I known about the Google Edition coming out, I would have waited for it and bought the AT&T but then flipped it on eBay before opening the package. To ensure I got the most $ for it. Then I'd have put a few bucks of my own into the deal and bought a Google Edition.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] plwalsh88:
But if theory holds, you'll be able to run TouchWiz and those features just fine on the GE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] treyphan77:
As mentioned earlier Task650's ROMs are fantastic 'my daily driver on the s2 forever'. I got my phone for dirt cheap with trade-in and immediately put Task's ROM on it and couldn't be happier.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Thermalwolf:
To be honest, if you have the money then get the Google edition for guaranteed openness. While I'm sure our ATT version will continue to get support and eventually a true unlock, nothing beats true pure android at heart from Google themselves in my opinion.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] toptekjon:
I definitely agree with you there. I was leaning that direction for a long time, but I think I've decided to keep the ATT version.

I got the 32gb for $250. I'll keep this (actually running great now with the goldeneye rom) and worst case scenario I'll buy a nexus 5 for $350 (speculation of course, but I think likely to happen) when it comes out, then sell my GS4 and possibly even make a slight profit.

Thanks to all for the advice!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Thermalwolf:
On the plus side to stick with AT&T model you get Touchwhiz support which to me is not a bad thing considering they could easily fix Touchwhiz, if they would just listen to us lol As it stands we don't know how TW will work with the Google Edition. It would make sense that it should run flawlessly on it but there's always that chance Google will play with something to keep you on there side.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Xceptiona1noob:
I was super excited to see the google edition of the S4 during google io, after having time to ponder it, I too am wondering if it will be the best purchase. It would seem that a lot of the addidtional hardware such as the IR Blaster will not function, so Im starting to have my doubts. Thought I know in the end I will be unhappy with anything that is not up to date with android?? grrr, I just want the perfect phone darnit.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Simonzi:
Pretty sure it won't work. As of right now, there is no Android API to access the IR blaster. Rumored to change for 4.3.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Psykologikal:
Google edition actually does support the ir blaster on the s4. You just need an app to support it. Read reviews today and all indicate it works but doesn't come with WatchOn or any stock apps to use it.

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] motorapido:
I'm forgetful and can't remember the procedure I used to install TWRP on my rooted Exhibit which had CWM at the time. I now need to install TWRP on my girlfriend's Exhibit, which is rooted with the stock root (no custom ROM, just rooted) and which already has CWM.

I will copy the TWRP file onto her external SD card. I will then boot into CWM recovery, and flash the TWRP zip file. After I do that, when I reboot the phone, how does the phone now which recovery I want to use? Does TWRP over-write or wipe out the CWM when you flash it? Must I make a selection for my default recovery choice?

I am a dummy and I should remember this stuff, since I already went through this on my phone.

By the way, I am installing AOIP on her phone. I have really liked it on mine, after trying Slimbean and Nexus4 and CM10 etc. Her tired old phone on the rooted stock ROM is giving her fits. So it is time for TWRP and AOIP.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] BrandonCormier:
Once you flash it it will overwrite cwm so it will be the only recovery. If you wanna go back to cwm just flash that over twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] meekrawb:
When you flash a recovery zip it overwrites the recovery partition in your phone. You don't have to choose anything because it will stay TWRP until you flash a different recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Medic24:
Question im running twrp 2.3 ver to install a updated version I just flash the newer version right? I wont lose anything will I
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] BrandonCormier:
Yeah just flash over the version you have.
[General Questions and Answers] PassingThruLife:
Anyone here had any luck with these Chinese no-name knockoffs?

They seem to be clones of Samsung Galaxies.

There is so many models,some of them have 5'7 screens.
[General Questions and Answers] powersimon:
Two colleagues of mine bought two different China-clone phones: one was a clone of iPhone (we were used to call it C-phone) and one was a clone of Samsung Galaxy S.

They both lasted no more than two months! Cheap plastic, ridiculous storage, resistive screens, lack of components (one without BT, the other had a wireless chip so bad that ot was pretty useless)

My idea is that Chinese cloning-machines-factories put their best effort in reproducing the external look of the phones they're inspiring at, but when you look inside you can find bad surprises...

And we had the same experience with clone-tablets too.

Stay away from that crap!
[General Questions and Answers] PassingThruLife:

Totally agree. There are good Chinese companies that make good phones, obviously prices are not so different from Samsung, LG, Sony, etc.

[General Questions and Answers] MuadDib81:
I'm using a Huawei Ascend G330D with TWO SIM cards! I think this is a really good phone with all features as the 'big' ones. I have to say one con to it; bad custom mod support and no multilanguage (chinese and english only). There are some sellers in Europe they are selling them WITH multilanguage support but I can't get a ROM.

I just hope Huawei will make the takeover at Nokia (as there are some rumours).

Regards!

[General Questions and Answers] haridevil99:
Unless you are looking for something that will hardly last 3 months, never go for chinese. You can find cheap enough smart phones by Samsung and as the other guy said Micromax too offers great devices for low price. You can get canvas 2 hd which got features of Galaxy Grand at a far lesser price. If you are looking forward to tweak your phone then better go for samsung or sony as there are lots of guides provided and if you dont want to mess with your device and want something cheaper, go with something like micromax.

The image shown during boot-up shows the company name "L-Tide",and underneath are the words "lead tide". The OS is Android KitKat, and both have a Samsung Exynos chipset. The model number is just "S756". Anyone know if there is a suitable custom rom for this device?

Loading MS Voice Command to MAin Memory

Hi, if you sent Active sync to install to default location it should load to Main Memory, but it may install the voice command to sd card via the installation process due to file size.

One other question, I would love to be able to purchase a copy of this, but the problem is that it is only sold in America. I have tried to purchase via HandtoGo but when I give my credit card it does'nt allow me to go any further as I am in Australia. What are the chances of posting a copy on the ftp?

Ok, after running motochopper and unlocking bootloader, i used 2.1.1 to flash recovery, problem is it freezes at the recovery screen, no button presses are responding, also when I hit the power button, it says "swipe to unlock" and that doesn't work either. I can get into bootloader by holding the power + vol down button, and the phone will boot normal, but after that it freezes. Btw, this is my wife's phone, mine has been unlocked and rooted for 8 months or so, and I'm running twrp 2.3.3.0 on that. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Has anyone figured it out? I have had my first ever since it came out and I am confused on how to save pictures.

Hopefully someone has figured this out.:rolleyes:

I installed GoSMS just for that. When someone sends me a picture I want to save, I go open the message in GoSMS and save it there. It's not elegant (or even logical), but it works.

[LG Optimus G Pro] greyhulk:
I own the Optimus G Pro (AT&T) as well as the HTC One and Galaxy S4. I love them all in different ways, but I find myself returning to the G Pro more often.

My Note II felt too big and the lack of one-handed utility used to get to me. I don't feel that way about my G Pro. It's still too big for many one-handed tasks, but fits much better in my hand.

I don't know if it's a lack of advertising push on LGs part, disinterest by bloggers in general, or what, but this phone, much like the Optimus G is at a serious disadvantage when it comes to:

Accessories

Dev Support

Reviews/News coverage

There isn't even a lot of activity in XDA for this device. It's sad to me, because it's an excellent device. So, let me tell you what my favorite things about this phone are:

I love the SMS popup in the upper left corner. It's a small thing, but it's done well and I find it useful

I like the screen real estate, much as I did on my Note 2, but in a smaller package and 1080p

Unlike the GS4, there's virtually no lag. The UI is smooth, second only to the HTC One

Video compression - I love that if you want to send a video through MMS, you get the option to "trim" it, but you don't have to. It will simply compress it to the maximum allowable size for MMS, much like iOS. No other Android device does this and it's a great feature if you like to share videos over MMS and the quality isn't super important.

Notification light- The notification light on this thing is awesome and hard to miss. On my HTC one, it's pretty hard to see sometimes and it randomly just stops blinking even if I haven't checked the notification.

Wireless charging out of the box (AT&T) without adding a bulky back that makes it incompatible with cases (looking at you, GS4).

Quickmemo. I find this much more useful. First of all, it's instant, unlike the Note 2. Second, not having to remove the styllus makes it much more convenient. I use it to take screenshots of things I want to show people and circle them. Very handy.

Overall, the only thing I would really change is the camera quality. I wish it were a little better. I even like LG's skin okay. It adds more to the Android experience than it ruins.
