Well, that is more likely because of some issues with batteries exploding. Not exactly Samsung's batteries, but just batteries in general. Although, it is VERY unlikely to explode.

About the OP,

Charging your phone over night is PERFECTLY OK. The kernel stops the charge cycle when it hits 100 percent. It doesnt start charging again until it reaches approx 95 percent (different kernels/devices use a different percentage) A "charge cycle" is anything from i believe 30 percent or more (meaning giving it a charge of 30 percent or more) So keeping it charging overnight would be perfectly fine. I have had my S2 with two batteries (one on the charger for days on end while one in the phone) and i've had them for over 2 years and they work perfectly fine to this day. Charging overnight only possesses the risk of blowing up xD Which is a VERY low risk so long as you are using a qualified battery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tikay00:
Yeah, but charging overnight affects the phone and battery, maybe 3.5%. Stop thinking so much. Samsung wouldn't charge $600 for a defective POS phone that couldn't handle charging at night.

C'mon man.

Samsung OEM batteries come with a warranty. I bought the charging kit and charge my battery that way but I also charge thru my phone overnight. Have done so with my Samsung Vibrant (galaxy s) for over 2 years and now with my s4.

Why overcharge a battery that doesn't even need trickle charging? Defeating the purpose IMO. Above thread is why I don't charge while sleeping, to each their own.

Exactly why samsung told the other guy not to charge at night. But honestly samsung, we are dumping close to 700 for this baby, you guys can't make a good enough device that we can feel safe charging overnight????????

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] electronicrice:
This thread is dumb. The phone and/or charger has a built-in circuit to prevent overcharging. The case of the xda user who's phone burnt is due to a defect not present in probably 99% of phones. The phone would most likely have burnt up whether it was charging overnight or during the day.

I'm sure Samsung knows how to build a device that you don't have to always be awake and in proximity to charge.

If you're worried about the battery being defective that's what the warranty is for. If you're unhappy with your battery normally degrading (which they will because they do), that's what money is for....to buy a new one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kevinrubio1:
You're dumb, over charging a battery decreases the batteries life. I already spent to much money on the phone itself and im not about to spend another 20+ bucks on an extra battery because I was charging the phone wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] -Falco:
I'm speaking from experience when I say this. I have 2 galaxy s4's, 1 galaxy s2, 1 galaxy s 4g, 1 iphone 5, 1 htc g2, sidekick 1, and 1 ipod 4gen and guess what, I bought them all close to release date (maybe a week or two after release) and they all charge at night and have great battery life and all have the same battery that comes in the box with no other battery! The only thing that could happen from charging over night is either an explosion or overheating. Explosions rarely happen and overheating is caused when using a charger that is too strong. Don't worry about your battery when charging over night.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] byron1985:
With any battery over time it will slightly degrade its capacity so for awhile I started to just charge the battery till its full then unplug it. However that got old always worrying about it. So I just said screw it my battery my degrade slightly faster over time then someone who doesn't charge over night but if after two years the battery has degraded to much spare batteries are really cheap to get. Typically on amazon roughly $20 for two so I say charge away and not worry about it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] 2ndammendment:
I have studied batteries pretty intensively on my own and am considered a battery "expert" by some so I'll chime in :)

Everyone here is a little right. Yes, Samsung knows how to design a device and how to charge that device. However, the limitations of lithium ion batteries are not decided by Samsung. Lithium ion batteries are the best we have for now. They have superb energy density and are mostly stable and safe. They do have some weaknesses though, they don't like high voltages(4.0v+), however high voltages are nessesary to obtain sufficient capacity for mobile applications. It's a cost benefit relationship. The higher the voltage the more mah you can squeeze out of a battery but its service life will be shortened. Most electric and hybrid cars use lithium ion chemistry. In order to make their packs last as long as possible, they only charge the battery packs to 4.00v or so. Some laptop manufacturers do the This thing and only charge the packs to 4.10v. My phone hits 4.333v on the charger and 4.30 off the charger. Assuming my battery guage is correct, and Samsung doesn't have some special kind of battery chemistry I'm not aware of, this will lead to an "early" failure of our batteries (I'm assuming my phone is not the only one that has voltages this high). This means that instead of getting something like 2 years of service life until the capacity of the battery falls below 80% of its original capacity, we MIGHT only get 1 year(I'm making an educated guess, I could be wrong). This is a trade off for squeazing out another 200mah(or whatever the gain may be).

Some of us put in the extra work(flashing ROMs, kernels etc) to squeeze a bit more performance out of our devices. For some, spending time thinking about how to charge the battery in an optimal way to maintain its rated capacity longer isn't worth it. Luckily replacement batteries aren't horribly expensive and it's super easy to do. For those that care though these are some tips for getting the most out of your battery.

Lithium ions don't like high voltages or low voltages. Try to keep your battery % between 90 and 30 percent(if practical). Also don't charge your phone when it's very hot(left in the car for example) or when it's very cold(below 32f). It's not practical for everyone to follow these guidelines to the T and you certainly don't have to. On the weekdays at work I leave my phone plugged in over night and during the work day I plug it in when it gets to 40% and charge it until 90%. On the weekends I wont leave my phone plugged in over night.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Ron Overdrive:
The Nextbook 8 (NX008HD8G) is a $99 tablet available from Walmart. It sports a AMLogic AML8726-MX SoC (1.5Ghz dualcore Cortex-A9 w/400mhz dualcore Malli400 GPU), 1 Gb of DDR3 RAM, 8" display, and 8Gb internal storage. Its a nice little budget tablet for those who don't need a Nexus 7 or greater performance rated tablet. Not too long ago I discovered how to root it and apparently I'm the first to do it as far as I can tell. Now here's how.

What you will need is Bin4ary's One Touch Root App. This app will get you only partial root via the ADB Shell. My guess is the ADB exploit he uses does work to get basic root access for ADB, but some incompatibility prevents proper installation of su & SuperUser.apk. What we're going to do is finish the job manually.

First run Bin4ary's app and use the Normal Method. Be sure to ignore all errors. After your tablet reboots move su and Superuser.apk from Bin4ry's app folder to the root of the Internal SDCard. Next you will need ADB. If you don't have it you can get it either from Bin4ary's app folder you found su & superuser.apk in or you can install the Android SDK. At the command prompt enter the following:

adb shell
su

At this point you should see a # sign indicating root privileges. If you do enter the following commands.

mv /system/xbin/su /system/xbin/osu
cp /sdcard/su /system/xbin
chmod 6755 /system/xbin/su

The use Astro or your favorite file manager to navigate to /sdcard and install SuperUser.apk then reboot your tablet. From here on you should have full root on your tablet. Credit should definitely goto Bin4ry for his work on his One Touch Root App for getting us half way there.

http://www.cydiaimpactor.com/

Worked for me.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] calin_ionesco:
YES! use cydia impactor

Yes, I used it also. worked for me too (my serial for the tablet is YF07... in case there is a problem with the newer versions)

Thanks, H0wdy

Steps to do it:

Download Cydia Impactor

Turn on USB debug in settings-> Developer options

Plug in tablet into PC (I used a 32 bit Windows 8.1)

Wait a while... a long while for me... for windows to download drivers, disconnect tablet, wait a few seconds, then reconnect.

you should see in the device manager (on the top) android phone and underneath Android Composite ADB interface

Unzip Cydia, run impactor.exe and just choose start for # drop SuperSU su to /system/xbin/su

Wait a bit, then you're done. (no reboot or anything else necessary).

Install supersu (or I guess any other superuser app) from the android market. It will tell you that you can update the su binary... your choice, I updated without a problem.

I had supersu installed beforehand, but I guess it has nothing to do with it, it wasn't working anyway)

Ranting, but maybe someone has this issue also:

One ( -- BIG --) problem I had was getting the connection between the tablet and my computer, and Not because I can't plug-in a cable :P

the tablet said it was connected, but on the computer, nothing showed up in device manager and the list of devices kept refreshing.

The PC was beep-ing just like it found a device. the device list would refresh once or twice, then again beep, all this till the end of my patience.

At first I thought it was the USB 3.0 port, then the cable, then the ESXi USB redirection (my desktop is actually a VM), then the windows version, then the architecture,

Then I switched to a laptop, nothing.. same story.

I can BET it's Sony's F***ed up drivers

So, I used a clean system (no other adb or phone drivers installed) and worked as a charm

I think I hat this much trouble because I had a lot of other drivers (for sony, samsung, universal adb, etc etc.)

So on the computer I had all this stuff installed, it looked like the tablet was connected, then disconnected in the space of 10-15 seconds, then repeat forever.

If this happens to you, use a clean windows.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] neoramasay:
I just installed CyanogenMod 10.1.2 Stable (via SafeStrap 3.11), everything went perfect. A couple days later, I finally went to re-sync my phone to my PriusV's Entune system to play music via Google Play Music (with playlists stored locally on the phone).

Music plays back OK, however my issue is that no song details (Track title, artist name, disc name, playback position) will display on the Entune screen, and none of the car's control buttons (play/pause/next track/prev track) will do anything. I don't want to have to pull out my phone to change tracks or see what song just came on while i'm driving when this is what the details and controls on the car are supposed to do for me.

Anyone out there have any thoughts/ideas/suggestions/possible fixes?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ldeveraux:
I have a Highlander without Entune (Stock Stereo), so it's not a direct comparison but here's what I found. Music details don't display on the stereo. I've tried countless apps/hacks but nothing has worked. They spent all their dev $$ on getting it to work on the iPhone and left Android users in the dust. So I'm not sure music details have ever worked with Android.

The steering wheel controls however work fine for me, so that's strange. In the bluetooth settings on the phone, when connected to the stereo, is 'media' connected? It should be.

I wonder if an updated bluetooth controller for android would fix this issue for everyone?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neoramasay:
I suppose I should clarify a bit - when i mentioned this being after installing CyanogenMod 10.1, I was assuming that one would take it things were working under stock, which was the case.

So: Stock - bluetooth playback showing track/artist/disc information, position in the song, and car controls worked (though stock had an older version of Google Play Music, so this could also be a source of conflict)

CyanogenMod: bluetooth only plays music, does not display any of the other information, and controls do not work. (Cyanogen 10.1 comes pre-built with the newer version of play music, so downgrading would be.... difficult and i'd rather try and make it work without doing so)

I guess what I want to try and find out is if it is CyanogenMod or Google Play Music's new version that is next to incompatible with Entune. With Stock, I had near 100% functionality (only shuffle/repeat toggles did not work - but even those don't work right with my wife's iPod, so i'm not worried about those functions).

Since i'm essentially dual-booted through SafeStrap, I may try going back on Stock, updating Play Music, and testing - if updating Play Music causes Stock to loose functionality equally, then i guess i'll have my answer - obviously i'll post back with results.

If functionality is still present on Stock after updating play store, then that traces it back to being something with Cyanogen, and the bluetooth driver it uses.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] neoramasay:
OK - sorry for the back to back posts, but I got lucky on some digging and found my answer.

CyanogenMod does not have something called AVRCP (Audio Video Remote Control Profile) revision 1.3+ built into it's bluetooth stack. This is because that is not something that is included by default under AOSP 4.2.x. So unless you want to build your own bluetooth stack and put it into Cyanogen, you're not going to get track info/controls.

Google has announced that under AOSP 4.3, they will be building Bluetooth version 4 support into Android, and version 4 supports AVRCP 1.3+ natively, thus Cyanogenmod's next version based off of AOSP 4.3 will then contain AVRCP support.

So, the short of it is, hang in there for the next major release of Cyanogen and all will be resolved!

Most manufacturers build AVRCP support into the bluetooth stack for their devices, hence why stock worked and now CyanogenMod does not.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] ldeveraux:
Huh good to know. I knew that Android 4.3 included an upgrade to BT, but I didn't realize it would fix this issue. I wouldn't even know how to build my own BT stack, but it would be useful in the long run.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Saphroxx:
+1 on this

I have a Nexus 4 with CM 10.1.2 connected to my Skoda Octavia built-in bluetooth. I play music with Apollo (Cyanogenmod's music player) and I get to hear the songs and can skip to the next/previous songs with steering wheel controls but don't get to see the song title/artist info.

My Nexus One with CM 7 however does play music fine and shows all song details and steering wheel controls work fine.

So based on 1.) the fact that my 3.5 year old Nexus One (with CM 7 - Android 2.3.7) shows song details fine and 2.) the excellence of the CyanogenMod team, I think this can be resolved with some coding rather then waiting for Android 4.3 or CM 10.2 with an updated bluetooth stack.

Unfortunately I can't say if this issue only started appearing after the 2 security updates (10.1.1 and 10.1.2) since CM 10.1.2 was the 1st ROM I flashed on my Nexus 4. Although in this post goo.gl/KQ6J7H some guy who encounters the same issue, also experienced the issue on CM 10.1 (so before the security updates 10.1.1 & 10.1.2).

Apart from the song details not showing, I also noticed that sometimes I can't enable bluetooth at all and need to reboot my phone for it to work again. When tabbing the bluetooth icon in powercontrol widget or even directly in Settings it simply won't enable bluetooth. Also experienced by the guy from post goo.gl/KQ6J7H

I'm hoping to see this annoying bluetooth issue resolved asap.
