Alas, it started happening again. At least 3 times a day. Grr. I may resort to the inner tape method suggested in here.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] moobieboobie:
is this the error that everybody is getting? i just started getting it a week ago and it's driving me nuts. i've done everything software related and everybody says its hardware... is there a real fix to it or is it just that tape method?

Actually that's about all you can do or just put up with it. I gave my youngest son my S4 when I upgraded to S5 and in the last month he's had one error. It jut seems to come and go.

I figured this might be a heat issue form what I read so I installed cpu temp from the play store and set it to overlay so I could watch it all the time. The temp was getting up to 61c while playing 8 ball pool or using youtube. I then installed setcpu and have the cpu set to max 1026 and min 384 mhz, I also used Titanium backup to uninstall anything that came with the phone, my phone is rooted. Then I used startup manager to take out whatever was starting up that I did not need. I also turned down the brightness a little. Now my temps are 35c to 53c. So far I have not had one error today. I will post back if anything changes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] moobieboobie:
i don't think heat is the issue for me. this happens when the phone is idling in my pocket. i'm running a debloated TW rom, so not other apps/services running to keep it hot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] robsinfl:
The weird thing is my wife has an S4 and her temp never goes over 35c and mine was getting to 45c sitting doing nothing. Idk I just hope it goes away. My wife has the Note 2 and I would use her old S4 but it has been updated to the latest att update and dont want to deal with Bootstrapping.

Possible Sim Card Problem Fix!!!!!

I aso kept on getting can not read sim card errors randomly but at least hourly. Some times my phone would just say "emergency calls only" when I went to make a call. I replaced the sim card reader and it was fine for about 2 hours.....

Try this....

Power the device off.

Remove battery and sim card.

Then put them both back in.

Restart phone is safe mode. (google how to get into safe mode if you don't know.)

If successful, Safe Mode will appear on the device screen in the bottom left corner

There will be apps that appear to be missing. This is okay.

Open a few apps and close them

Restart phone normally.

See if this works....

I did it and have not had a problem since. Dont know why it worked but it did...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] s8freak:
How much time has passed? Mine went error free for about a month then came back with a vengeance it's so fricken random it drove me crazy. My son has the phone now since June 26th and it's only happened to him twice.

Hi,

I have the same issue.

Before i was having the samsung original software, but it first start with a message every hour and later even reboot would not help anymore.

I took it to the same to repair but the issue continued. so i had to take more actions.

today i installed a custom rom, this fixed the issue shortly but now all issues are back.

It must be somewhere in the software but i´m not smart enough to say where.

somehow i think its in the provider data because when i put a other sim card from a other country it works.

so it must be in the settings from our providers, i get the error with a prepair card.

Lets see if we can resolve this soon.

cheers,

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] TGA3DX Tim:
My phone has been error free now for several weeks. This is what I've done.

Replaced sim/sd daughterboard. Added bit of card behind the flex connector. Added copper tape.

None of these fixed it, infact, initially it seemed to be much better, but then it returned again.

Then I realised I always have the phone on power saving. I turned power saving off. And I haven't had any problem for the last 3 weeks. I mean, not a single problem. Might be worth checking out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Junpei_Shibayama:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] s8freak:
If people would go back and read thru this thread peeps would realize it's not a carrier specific problem. There's peeps from Canada as well as TMO and Verizon. This problem is a Samsung defect in the S4 that Sammy isn't owning up to.

It isn't from rooting or flashing any Roms or mods nor is it a Sim card failure.

I've Odin to stock many times and still had the error. I've had it show more than 25 times in a day with several times my device sitting on the table after I put it down after a call or something. Phone wasn't hot it just popped up. I've also went a month without the error before it went all wacko again. I've since moved on to the S5 and given my son the S4 since other than the annoying error it works great. He's had it since June 26 I believe and has had the error pop up twice. That's the longest time so far.

My user name is throughout this thread just about from the beginning so if your device is still under warranty send it back as many times as its needed for Sammy to fix it. Or do what I did and either live with it or move on to another device.

Good luck.

Do you guys have recommendations for sim board replacement? I'm looking around the webz and they seem to be hit or miss. Some say new, when people get them, they're all messed up. Looks like an easy enough attempt to fix the problem. I'm just trying not to replace something broken with some thing that's almost broken. Thanks!

[Microsoft Surface] AcerExtensa:
Hello,

in microsoft store there is 2 different VGA adapter, one for RT version and one for PRO, but they look absolutely same... Are they different? Can I use adapters from SURFACE RT with SURFACE PRO?
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
They look very similar, but I believe the pins and electrical outputs are different. They are not believed to be compatible. I think the RT uses standard microHDMI (well, almost standard; the side of the tablet is not perpendicular to the port, which is nonstandard, but third-party ports should still work).
[Microsoft Surface] AcerExtensa:
I want to sell my RT and buy PRO version and I don't know if I should sell my adapters and buy new for PRO..... yes, the tablet side in RT is not perpendicular but it is also not what much oblique to be the problem... USB port is also on the same side and I didn't have had any troubles with sticks, mouse or whatever...

I just can't find difference(excluding the skewness) between this adapters... :confused:
[Microsoft Surface] SixSixSevenSeven:
The RT only has micro/mini HDMI (one or the other I forget which), the pro (its not capitalised like RT btw) is display port, look at them and they aren't the same any more than a USB and a headphone jack. Sockets are different shapes, different numbers of pins and different electrical signals.

Your RT adaptors won't even fit the socket on the pro without you breaking the socket.

That is why there are 2 adaptors, an HDMI-VGA for the RT and DisplayPort-VGA for the pro.
[Microsoft Surface] AcerExtensa:
Thanks for clarification!

[Galaxy S 4 General] Tha TechnoCrat:
Your Android phone isn't just for widgets, talking, Google Now and photos. It can also be one of the world's best gaming platforms, if you're willing to spend a little time on it.

Once the domain of tinkerers and super-nerds, Android devices have exploded in popularity over the last couple of years, spurred on by the emergence of superphones like the Samsung Galaxy S 4, HTC One and Google's own Nexus 4.

Despite this increase, there remains the perception that - at least in terms of gaming - Android phones are somehow a step behind the iPhone. That things like piracy, a lack of apps and convoluted system specs are hindering the development of games on the platform.

I'm here to tell you this is bull****. Chances are that if you own an Android phone, and picked it up within the last 18 months, you've got in your pocket a silent killer in terms of portable gaming.

Below you'll find four steps you can follow to turn that humble little smartphone into something a little more gamey.

1. USE GOOGLE PLAY

You'll even find some hot exclusives. Kairosoft's entire catalogue of addictive-as-hell management games is on the Play Store, for example, while only a handful have ever made it to the App Store.

Seriously, there are enough quality games on there already that we could end the guide right here and you'd be set. Luckily, we're not ending the guide here.

Those remaining developers who either delay bringing their games to Android, or don't do it at all, usually cite piracy as one of the big concerns. The more people actually pay for apps and games on Android, the more of these developers will be encouraged to bring their wares to the platform. So do it.

2. GO RETRO

ScummVM for Android

DOSBox Turbo for Android

DOSBox Manager

.

Unless, that is, you want to...

3. GET A CONTROLLER (OR USE A MOUSE)

To save you buying a gamepad, there's an app that lets you connect a PS3 pad to an Android device (though note: your phone needs to be rooted for this to work). Alternatively, you can sync a Wii Remote, since it also connects via Bluetooth (and can be configured with this app).

Again, this might sound crazy since you can do this a lot more easily on a regular computer, but consider this: old PC games weren't designed to run on giant 23" desktop monitors. You either stretch their visuals until they look like garbage, or run them in a window.

Phone screens, though, are at the cutting edge. Relatively tiny yet packing amazing colours and now sometimes even 1080p resolution, they breathe new life into your old games. Trust me, fire up something like Colonization or X-Com on a contemporary phone and it'll look better than ever.

4. GET A BIGGER BATTERY (OR BATTERY PACK)

5. SIGN UP TO ONLIVE

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ballsofsteel:
I did use the search function. There was a similar thread posted a day ago but I'd like to do a more in-depth query here. The more extensive one has been dormant since April so I figure that I might as well open a new one.

I'm sorry if this sounds like a rant, but I want to do a serious investigation of the multitasking woes in the S3.

Just some background of my experiences:

Having flashed the latest official (ending with MF6), I must say that multitasking is just atrocious and my apps close for every 3rd one I open. RAM is always full, and once cleared it is bogged down again. And again. And again. The iPhone 4, with 512 MB RAM, can manage better than this. The RAM heavy ones (Facebook, Chrome, YT, etc.) are the worst of all-as they close down even when you don't touch the phone for a period of time.

What exactly is using up my RAM? Please don't come back to me with the Free RAM=Wasted RAM argument. I have seen no speed improvement of apps "cached in memory" compared to those that I just opened up.

I remembered back in the days of the S2 release people called 1 GB RAM unnecessary, and to an extent this is true, as the S2 was able to do some serious multitasking of 8-9+ apps without having to close any of them. Other flagships (HTC Sensation) did fine with 768 MB RAM. Heck, the Galaxy S1 seemed fine with 512 MB RAM. The OS can run, camera works fine, I can play videos fine. So where exactly did this 512 MB of extra RAM go, when the Galaxy S3 is upped to 1 GB of RAM?

I have tried zRAM 300 MB, 400 MB, 600 MB. They all make the phone remarkably slow. Initially it does prove to be somewhat useful, but over time multitasking becomes completely hopeless again.

Is there ever going to be a solution to this, or do I really have to get a 2 GB RAM phone to actually be able to use it?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaynpayn:
Well, mate, this has been discussed over and over as you may be aware. Honestly, i've lost hope for stock firmwares on multitasking. Some people swear by zram or even swap and while it does work i didn't find the results very good. Someone may come up with a more thorough explanation on how all the ram is being actually used (and it has been written already, i've seen it around) but at this point i just don't really care much.

Bottomline, you have 3 options:

- install some aosp rom and never see this problem again (some others may come up due to lack of sources for exynos)

- compromising speed for multitasking purposes with zram, swap and there were some atempts at plain better multitask management with supercharger and others

- ignore and live with it and try to change your phone for anything else asap - samsung botched this and is making no effort i can see for a fix. If they don't care about you it's only fair you don't care about them either.

I'm aiming for a nexus4 when i find one cheap around. Plenty of power, 2Gb, fastest updates in the business. Should come down in price even more when any new phones hit the market.
