nothing i hav not installed anything as of yet, just 8 ball pool game...

it gets overheat while browsing or playing game for about 7..8 minutes
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WildfireDEV:
If it is a graphic intensive game there while be a lot of heat generated in a short amount of time. But if not there might be something wrong with your device. Try a factory reset.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junaid115:
its a 2 days old device, would you think a reset would help? and its not just 8 ball pool, even while browsing it gets hot.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WildfireDEV:
Does it get got around the battery area if so it could mean that there is large amount be discharged from your battery which is generating heat or it could be a faulty battery if not. Then it just could be soemthing wrong with the firmware try a factory reset if that doesn't wrk then take it to the place you purchased it and ask to have it repaired because it might be a manufacturing fault and explain to them what the problem is.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junaid115:
the screen (top) gets hot and a bit from the back top, might try a reset.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WildfireDEV:
The screen top would probably be getting hot because of the use of the screen and the back getting hot I have no explanation for what device do you have.

Sorry about that i didn't mean to ask you about your device. I forgot I was in the s4 forums.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] windozeanti:
Yes, if you play graphics intensive games, the screen feels hot, although it is less than 40 degrees..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junaid115:

Ok.. try these, turn off all the gesture type things, smart pause and smart scroll. Keep wifi off when not in range. Also keep brightness a bit low(50-60%). This will surely help reducing the overheating.

Sorry for bad English :cool:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] IconBoy:
Phoned 611 yesterday evening and by 2:30am this morning had three unlock codes waiting in my inbox from TMobile.

We have our three SGS4s phones on a business account and had paid for the phones outright.

Only had to way 14 days of active account before they released the unlock codes.

Pretty fast!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] techfanatic9:
Time for me to call in, thanks for the post!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] luckychef28:
Did the posted unlock method not work for you? I went through the steps, popped in my friend's AT&T sim and was good to go. Made a couple of calls, surfed the web and everything was perfect, APNs loaded automatically when I put in their sim.

I'm on a $20/mo device plan
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] probablecauz69:
as long as you have an account and good standing. as well as having the phones for certain amount of time, they are very willing to do it. i have had 2 other phones unlocked on tmobile. first time i had gone to greece. the second time i just told them i was going out of the country. same thing they emailed me the next day
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] IconBoy:
They wanted me to wait 40 days to give me the unlock code(s).

I told them I paid outright for the phones so they came back and said I had to wait 14 days.

The waiting period (if you've paid outright) is 30 days for California and 14 days for the rest (unless your state says otherwise).

They made an error when they set up our business account as we are in California, and said I didn't have 30 says to change my mind but 14. It worked out better because I didn't have to wait for 30 days :)

They couldn't change the account set up but said any further additions to the account will reflect California.

If you're paying off your phone every month on the new no-contract plan, I think you have to wait 90 days. The CS rep said I had to wait the initial time period because that is the time frame you have to return the phone and if they unlock it, they can't relock it.

I figured that if I was going to get the official unlock code(s) in a few days it'd be better than trying the method shown on the forums here. Just got back from travels so will try and unlock tonight or tomorrow

Still...impressed that it took less than 24 hours. The CS reply sad if they couldn't issue it, they'd have to get it from Samsung directly. One benefit of being on a business account (we only have three phones on home business) is that we get 24 hour CS rep help and I haven't waited more than a minute or two to speak to someone. Well worth the effort of setting everything up through the business.

I hope my info will be of help to others.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] IconBoy:
Hmmn...weird, two of the three unlock codes worked. Mine failed but the other two were unlocked in under 10 seconds.

TMo CS are escalating the issues to supervisors so will be interesting to see what comes of it and why my code didn't work.

By the way, are there any limits to how many times you can input an incorrect unlock code? I know PUK codes lock you out after so many tries.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nismo35:
i tried that and it didnt work, but i ended up calling and they gave me the code
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] IconBoy:
I have had numerous calls to TMo CS (all very friendly, courteous and helpful) and still no joy in getting the unlock code to work, even though they submitted for an additional unlock code.

The second request came back with the same unlock code from TMo.

I kept getting an "Network unlock unsuccessful" message. The IMEI was triple checked (under battery, on the box and by dialing *#06#), I was told to switch WiFi off - nothing worked!

TMo then gave me Samsung's Equipment phone number (1-888-987-4357) and I spoke to someone there and they told me emphatically that they can not give out any unlock codes...only the carrier can do that.

They send the codes to the carriers when they send out the phones.

It was back to TMo and finally the CS rep says I should take the phone back to the store and see if I can swap it out for a replacement.

I was ready to do that and figured I might as well try the unlock method posted at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2283068

Mine showed OFF in step six so I chose Restore Backup from step 4 and restarted the phone. This time, the phone never asked for an unlock code, when I put in a UK 3 SIM card as well as an ATT SIM card. Both of these SIM cards are inactive but I thankfully never got the SIM card error that previously showed up. I will see if I can find someone with an active ATT SIM card to double-check all is working.

So...if anyone is having trouble with an official unlock code, try the XDA tweak :laugh:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nismo35:
i had the exact same issue, they sent me a replacement and all was good, tmo version
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] IconBoy:
Is it better to unroot and take it back and swap it out, or stick with the XDA unlock method?

Some folks are reporting that it reverts back/isn't permanent.

Did TMo online swap out the phone or did a corporate store take it back? I figure it's not worth the time and effort to unroot, take it back to get an official unlock code again if the XDA method does indeed stay permanent. I'm trying the path of least resistance as going to a store to resolve an issue like this is never a ½ hour thing.

The manager at the store I bought the phones said he'd have to look at the phone and make sure I hadn't put in too many incorrect unlock codes — I don't know how he'd figure that out as it never told me I had X amount of tries left to try the SIM unlock.

If I've paid full price from the phone, I really do want it (to stay) unlocked.

Thanks for any feedback.

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] iceyhotguy:
Go to Settings>Applications>All applications>Gallery and check the Data/Cache used. This is/was a known bug in the initial 4.2.2 release for grand. Clear the cache/data for Gallery then Reboot, check Settings>Storage should be fixed :)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] swanand7893:

Is it safe to proceed? I don't want to lose my images or videos...
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] iceyhotguy:
If you are doing only for the Gallery application, yes it's very safe. All you will loose are the settings and the thumbnails gallery app generated for your quick viewing.

Any apps data/cache is limited to what it creates, the images and videos are your own it won't touch them
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] swanand7893:
Heyy thank you so much. It solved the problem. Now the free space is 652 MB almost double! What other app data shall I clear at some intervals so that I won't face this problem again?

Thanks in advance :)
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] iceyhotguy:
Only gallery app data causes this problem as far as I know, rest of the space should be from your apps. If you clear their data you will loose any settings or changes you have done to/through them

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] oscarthegrouch:
What I mean is that, at least with myself, and a few other users, that stock is good enough to not warrant a custom ROM. Many just want root to customize their experience a little farther than stock. For myself, it's just enabling unlocked wireless tether, adblocking and getting rid of bloatware. I seriously don't think companies would make the process easier. But I thought I'd throw the question out there. I know that the completely stock experience is made to best protect the average consumer from malware and mucking up their phone. I realize that locking down a lot of things keeps the average technically uninformed user from breaking their phone. What are your thoughts on this subject?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] optimummind:
I agree with your observation that stock ROMs are getting better and better and it'll most likely be more than good enough or perfectly adequate for the non-techy average user.

However, based on the industry practice of carriers still loading up phones with their own apps, customizations, and other bloatware, I think root will be desirable and necessary still for a long time to come.

After getting my S4, I immediately rooted it to uninstall many Sprint and Samsung apps that I couldn't otherwise. Root was also necessary to add adblocking software, a firewall, and to customize what I didn't like about TW through the Xposed framework.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] gharlane00:
I agree that custom ROMs may not be as necessary as they used to be but they are still a relatively easy way for people to get a different look with little effort.

I had mine rooted within 30 minutes of getting home with it. Still need root for Titanium Backup. Custom Recovery for Nandroids and flashing Mods and a Custom kernel just because. Using Xposed and Notach and Viper4Android and of course the Tether unlock.

[HTC Sensation] usman farhat:
I am sharing some profiles and projects which are very useful for me. The background is that I have installed tasker to minimize the apps for little things. I am not posting night profiles or profiles turning wifi off etc., so I think this thread will not be boring.

Here they are:

Project New Messages:

It has following profiles/tasks:

Show custom notification of new text

Open a Jellybean-like message reply popup upon clicking notification

If we decide to view message via default notification, clear the tasker's generated notification

Light up screen on receiving new text, if screen is locked.

The sceenshots are also attached for this project.

PROFILES:

Find phone, a "productive" GPS Locator solution.

When we send a text "findphone" to our number, following tasks are performed:

Set Wifi to off

Airplane mode on

GPS on

Get location via GPS (timeout 4 minutes)

Wait 4 minutes IF GPS location is not set yet

Airplane mode off

Wait 15 seconds (the time it takes for the network to be useable)

Send SMS to the number from which the findphone text had been sent (last incoming text number) (text will be: GPS location@ 00.000000, 00.00000)

Wait 15 seconds (to ensure the text has been sent)

Wifi on

Get Location via network (timeout 4 minutes)

Wait 4 minutes IF Network location is not set yet

Send sms again, now with the text like: Non-GPS location@ 00.000000, 00.00000

This turns wifi and mobile network off and turns gps on so the phone collects exact location data via satellites. after that, it turns the networks on and sends the exact gps location text. Then it also collects and sends the approximate gps data with the help of network, so the receiver will receive two texts. The format in which the texts are sent is made in such a way that if we copy the whole text of message and search in google maps's app, it will pinpoint to the exact location and not the nearest road.

Instant Missed Call Notify

Send text "Missed call from" followed by the number we had a missed call from, to a predefined number. (ignore the word instant)

Instant SMS forwarding

Forward all texts to a predefined number with text like "From [Name][Number]: [Text]

Send Email To Faraz

When composing an email, if we long press the search button, it will type in a part of email address, then press down then enter, hence selecting the first contact from the dropdown menu. Then it presses the down button like 4 times, then left then enter button (ALL ARE D-PAD FUNCTIONS), So, the send button is pressed. This is useful for facebook page admins and those who want to share every other picture via email to a contact.

And... Faraz is the name of page :)

About the image of browser, this is just a screenshot I wanted to share, just to send out a message that even a simple web browser-like "application" can also be made within two days of using tasker, so tasker is not too difficult and that the new users should give it a try :)

Thank's man! I wish there was a specific thread for tasker where we could share profiles / scripts for tasker. It's a really underrated powerful tool that requires a bit of a learning curve, but once we get on with it, the possibilities are literally endless!
[HTC Sensation] usman farhat:
Yes, there are many useful implementations, but I haven't found posts other than those who teach about turning wifi off in car or turning volume down at night.

I will hopefully post another, better than this, implementation soon. It's about adding widget-like functionality on the lockscreen of HTC.

See this preview, I am still building it.

[HTC Sensation] MidnightDevil:
There are some tutorials here on xda onder Android category. A brief search came up with extended results in how to use tasker. Some of them are quite good. :)

But yes, I agree that the app itself should have an official tutorial for the basic / medium stuff, the rest we would exploit and figure out on our own :)
