I was a note II user, but I gave it to my gf and bought a new GT-I9500.

Out of the box and on Wi-Fi, the device's software got updated. There were like 4 updates in total.

On the first day itself it was heating up, like anything. Specially while charging, I read posts on XDA and tinkered with the phone. I discovered that if I disable smart scroll and smart pause only, the heat generation is significantly lower. I felt some difference in the temps, while charging it, using a USB port of my system. I Also, have reduced the brightness level to - 3 keeping it on auto. Changed the display mode to professional photo from adapt display option.

The temps are ranging from 29 deg. C to 32 deg. C.

Also, there were no issues with media server. Still I backup my data and formatted the card, just to be sure. Now, while gaming, watching videos, browsing on chrome, tethering, GPS navigation, my S4 heats up the same amount my Note II GT-N7100 did. Which is quite normal.

I am getting decent battery backup, depending upon my use. Which is ranging anywhere between 12hrs - 17 hrs network auto mode.

FYI MY S4 is “Running on MG1” firmware. (Maxed out update slots).

See if this helps anyone.
[Galaxy S 4 General] geekymahesh:
Can't believe that S4 is working under 32 deg. C. Is it in idle or in usage???

[Galaxy S 4 General] chintz24:
I m not witnessing any change. My ram is still 1.3 gb.

Gallery is still a little slow.

I feel no change. What exactly is the changelog
[Galaxy S 4 General] nanoo-eg:
Most of the users after flashing a firmware or hey receive an OTA update, they see little better performance even they flashing the same firmware they had before.

This is because the system make wipe cache and dalvik automatically.

A real feedback needs at list 2 days using.

For me the last firmwares GM1 AND GM5 are very well especially at the overheat issue. With normal using my cpu temperature doesn't pass the 42° excerpt I stay under the sun when the ambient temperature is 36°.

Dialer and contact issue will continue for ever even you purchase the Note 3 with the 3gb ram :D.

If Samsung doesn't deside to give at the phone app the higher priority at the system so as it doesn't close after some our, never will see faster opening at the contacts.

You can also do a google search for Odin 3.07.
[Galaxy S 4 General] geekymahesh:
I still can't believe it because my S4's temp is always over 40 whenever I am using it otherwise on idle it is around 30 to 35.

Are you referring battery temp? How are you checking temp? I request you to please post the external thermistor value (after playing videos or games in max screen brightness for 10 mints) by dialing *#0*# then sensor then thermistor then the value under AP.

a few issues on a rom with this base ( crash Rom v5.0)

- Battery drain as bad with mobile data off and screen off(with s-view cover)

-battery charges very slowly when connected as MTP via USB

- no real improvement in RAM

A few off topic queiries

1) why is video saved as .mov

I recorded a 30 sec video and it became 61 MB :confused::confused:

2) (i forgot):rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 General] nanoo-eg:
Yes the cpu temperature is 40°+ after paying videos for 10' with brightness in 100%.

So where is the problem when the room temperature is 27.7°c?

I just feel little hot the back after 10' paying videos and only I put brightness on foul.

CPU can work without problem with double temperature than 40°.

Check your laptop, your tablet.

My Nexus 7 some times is more hot than my S4.
[Galaxy S 4 General] geekymahesh:
Are you saying that video recorded in S4 is .mov? As far as I know S4's default player can't play .mov and it records videos in .MP4. Video size is big because it records in full HD with around 17 mbps bit rate

USB charging will be always slower because USB is rated at 500 ma (as opposed to 2000 ma of S4's OEM charger) and phone will only take 300 ma to 500 ma depends on USB port.

About battery drain, S view cover will drain some battery. If it is unusual something might running in background. Check battery status and install Wake Lock detector to find what programs are consuming your battery.

I can't comment on other questions because I know nothing about Crash ROM, I hope someone will help you soon.

---------- Post added at 07:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:29 PM ----------

Are you going to hold your hot laptop in your palm or ear? Is touch screen on the laptop or tab is so hot so you can't comfortably touch it? so please don't compare laptops with phones. Yes CPU can work in morethan 95 C but there should some working cooling mechanisms. Otherwise excess heat over time may damage other components like camera, sim, micro sd etc and it will drain battery quickly and battery life span will be reduced. My concern is S4 is way hotter (even in 22 C ac room) than most lower end phones in similar usage conditions.
[Galaxy S 4 General] nanoo-eg:
Ok you doesn't touch your ear with your laptop, but it uses similar technology which elevates temperature.

If you want compare it with an other smartphone. My Note2 with same using had the same battery temperature. My iPhone 4s with 10' Facebook by 3g connection is too hot.

LG optimus G owners write at them forum that many often after overheating, system downgrade cpu clock automatically and the brightness also.

I haven't any problem at this temperature to use my device. It is just little hot. Nothing more.

We have a FHD screen this alone is enough to have little higher temperature.

Every summer we have the same speaking. The last summer with HTC one and Siii. Later arrived Note2 but was October and all talk uaw isn't hot like Siii. They forgot that October has 15° difference than July.

I only mentioned my idle temps when S4 was running on MG1. Atleast the phone is as usual as it should be for making and receiving calls, 2-5 mins of video playback within an instance. Web browsing for 15 mins.

Why would I push the threshold of my phone to test the temps while gaming, when I have a kickass desktop for that. The temps are very well within the normal range... 29-35 deg C.
[Galaxy S 4 General] geekymahesh:
I am not here to fight with you. It seems you are ok with it but I am not. I am a heavy user and I play lot of games in it so overheating bothers me. And this is not summer here. btw are you working for samsung? :p

Brother, playing some games or watching HD videos should't be excess usage for a higher end phone like S4. If it is....what is the use of highly powerful octa core CPU and a powerful GPU ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Rushin_rage:
Dint you know that the octa core is just a gimmick. All the cores aren't active at all times. Also, the highest clock on the GPU which is 532 Mhz is reached only when you are benchmarking and that too into 1-2 benchmarking tool. That is how it shows you the highest score.

S4 has lots more to offer than what we can think of.

As far as gaming goes I have note II which gives far better experience than S4. On my way the shield and a higher speced desktop. Seriously!!

Watching movie is also surreal on a bigger screen even while on the go. For me, coming from Note II is not easy to get used to much smaller screen. Resolution of the screen does not matter anyhow anywhere, except the wallpapers and few emerging apps.

Whatever we do we can't justify the money spent in buying this device but there is nothing better than S4 as one complete package.
[Galaxy S 4 General] geekymahesh:
Did I ever said that s4 can use 8 cores at a time. Octa core is not a gimmick as you said. Now it it seems like that because of cluster migration opposed to core migration everyone expected. big-LITTLE architecture is in its early stage and need to be improved a lot...so its the future tech. I said octa is powerful because of A15 cores....it is as powerful as snapdragon counterparts if not better. Are you saying that adreno 320 is inferior to mali 400? :eek:

Everyone have different kind of usage styles. You don't like to play games or watch videos in S4...its your choice... but I and many others are using it for those purposes too. And having a PC doesn't mean we shouldn't use our phone to do computing or gaming. So no point to blame ....

and.... we are doing OT ...so peace :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] nanoo-eg:
I am with you about the overheating at the gaming but tell me a high-tech smartphone hasn't this problem.

I use smartphones from the time of the first HTC WM and never I didn't one without overheat at heavy games, navigators e.t.c

At this moment I have at home except I9500, an iPhone 4s, a Nexus 4, a Nexus 7 and one iPad 2. Just before a week I sold my Note2.

Only iPad 2 can carry better the heavy games without extremely heating because it is so big with enough space around motherboard and eliminates easier the heat.

So I don't use my mobile for gaming first because overheating and second buttery brain.

Just only some times for games like angry birds or diamond dash

:).

If you have better results with any other smartphone tell me to purchasing it.

If you want to play high end games without overheating issue and battery will last longer, go for ipad.

I never thought of playing highend games with any phone that will not get hot for a longer period of time, even iphone.

I think it's annoying that the GSM status icon (which also shows active sync) is in the notifications tray, even when I don't have a SIM card. When no SIM card is inserted, Active Sync info is not showed either..

I desperately want to:

1. be able to remove the icon completely, at will.

2. talk to whatever process is in charge of the icon and eg. tell it to do stuff. I explain below.

Now, what I've tested is to replace cprog.exe, and this leads to the notification to not show any activity, even though I properly unlock the SIM and initialize TAPI and whatever. My theory is that the notification reads the GSM signal independent of the original cprog, and that cprog only tells the notification to start. But how!?

I have also fiddled with lots and lots of registry keys, looked in the db, investigated IShellExtInit, tried ConnMgr magic, etc...

So, if anyone has even a slight hint of a clue what to do, please tell me!

I tried the removing account account and then signing back in... But to no avail. Is this an MF9 issue or a Google issue? Either way it's getting really annoying :/ this is killing my battery life

EDIT(ALSO SEE POST #11): After some searching last nite and early this morning I think I found the root of the problem... It is the Google Play Store version 4.1.6 that is the problem! I upgraded to version 4.1.10 (i have no idea why Google made 4.1.10 a newer version than 4.1.6 lol) and the drain is near gone. Yesterday I got 8hrs of battery life with 2 1/2 hrs of on screen time and today I got 17 1/2 hrs of battery life with 3 1/2 hrs of on screen time with Google Services only taking up 4% of my battery! Now what I did was go into manage apps and clear all data from Google services framework, then I downloaded and installed the new Google Play Store (search it on Google it's very easy to find v4.1.10) cleared the Google services framework again and rebooted and bam problem solved! Lemme know if this works for you!

**Also if a mod could please move this to the general section that'd be greatly appreciated!**

For some, removing Google acct and then signing back in works....for others it doesn't. The only other option is a factory reset, which has been reported taking care of the problem by those that the first method didn't work for.

I did a factory reset and it did not fix the problem. I just disable WiFi networks location. Only thing guaranteed to work. Then Google now still works for the most part just leave your GPS on.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
Looking at your picture. you have terrible signal strength. All of these google services are constantly updating and accessing the network. If you have bad signal this will result in a lot of slow updates and lots of battery usage. I have MF9 and have every feature this phone has turned on including Google Now and I have great battery life. I take my phone off the charger at 7:00am and put it back on at around 11:00pm, usually with at least 35% battery left. But, if i go to my brother in laws where I barely get a sprint signal and the phone is constantly switching from roam back to sprint my battery life goes to ****. Remember your phone lies to you about 3g, unless you have a mod installed that will display when you are on a 1XTT signal, and when you are on 1XTT you suck down battery from full to 0% in a matter of hours unless you disable all apps that need to access the internet.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cruise350:
But was it 3G, or 1XTT? Unless you have modded it there is no way to tell. Also, the bars are the 1XTT signal (voice) and has nothing to do with 3G or LTE signal strength. In fact, you can be receiving your voice from one tower and your 3G data from a different tower.

With that being said, how did you update to MF9? The dirty way, which is to install things separate and piecemeal? Or did you do the official upgrade by returning to stock MDL and either taking the ota or installing the official update in the stock recovery?

Google Play confirmed culprit on my device. I updated to 4.1.10 and today Google Services went from 26% of my battery use to 6% and battery life was much improved. I also cleared data and cache on multiple apps and deleted my Google account in order to get Google Play to update apps again. The procedure I followed was as follows:

1. Installed Google Play 4.1.10. New Play Store worked fine but gave an "error retrieving information from server" message when I tried to update any apps.

2. Deleted data + cache and force stopped :

Google Play Store

Google Play Services

Google Services Framework

Hangouts

Market Feedback Agent

3. Deleted Google account

4. Rebooted and re-added Google account.

Better Battery Stats also reported a big jump in time the phone was in Deep Sleep. Maybe it's my imagination, but a well rested S4 seems much snappier when it wakes up ;)
