[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zahix:
I have the same problem. Phone freezes then restarts around 15 times a day. Help !

PS :I'm still on official software. I tried reflashing its official firmware via odin and the problem persists.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samersh72:
did you try to wipe data and cache??
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smsgott:
I'm pretty sure you both have a hardware issue. Freezing and rebootung sounds like probs with the CPU. As the problem where since first start, there sholdn't be a hindering getting it exchanged...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
I agree. If it's happening straight out of the box send it back for replacement. Seems like hardware fault to me.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zahix:
Yes I tried to wipe data and cache multiple times.

I bought it from a store 2 months ago and I don't think they offer warranty like Samsung stores. I will try to tell the seller that the phone has manufacturing defect and maybe he would replace it .
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eugene159:
Same thing. This is a replacement for the first phone that suddenly died (didn't power on anymore). First one before it died, worked flawlessly. I didn't reboot it for weeks. This new one reboots 10 times a day on it own.

U are wrong. HOTFILE is offline and TERAFILE.CO is online

---------- Post added at 01:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 AM ----------

If u need any firmware pls:

1. Tell me model of phone (i9500, i9505)

2. If is branded or no to one phone company

3. Android 4.2.2 or 4.3

4. Where are u from?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acer4605:
If you get random reboots the phone freezes up without no reason and while booting the phone it hangs on the samsung logo get your Battery exchanged asap.

Samsung acknowledged to have shipped a bad series of batteries serial starting with BD

you can exchange them under waranty

other symptoms you can encounter is that the phone is rebooting during incomming calls/sms and a huge battery drain before reboot you are at 80% after you only have 20% or less left

you can also check if the battery is swells up.

replace this battery asap because it can explode and for your sake I hope this does not happen to you and especially when the phone is in one pf the pockets of your pants (have to be carefull for your childsupport :D )

goodluck
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gumball3000:
I flashed jb the first few hours it got leaked. It came with a pit file that supposedly repartitions the ram. The leaked version had a lot of problems of it's own and also had problems with lags and freezes, I thought that will go away when I flash the official firmware but I was wrong.

I experience lags in all games and apps. In subway surfers, the run can start smoothly but as I progress, it starts lagging and even freezing. Youtube is the same thing, I will be watching a video and all the controls would become unresponsive and the video to lag badly until it exits the app or the phone reboots itself. I also get small audio and video freezes in mx video player.

I think this has to do with that repartitioning. I want to know if there is a way to revert to stock gingerbread ram partitioning and flashing jb again.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gumball3000:
I have to mention, it makes no difference if I clear the ram or not befor entering an app.

dh.harald cm10 a little smoother and try MG2 stock
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Best-In-The-World_:
Yup should try mg2...its probably the smoothest firmware and works well with Other Roms:) I also used the app called lagfix seems to work fine:) no lag at all for me.

Yep....ya u can go back to gingerbread ram..search Up how to downgrade from from jb to Gb. You should find a website with the link to GB firmware with pit:)

:/ can't post link..hope this helps XD
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gumball3000:
I found it, and i downgraded to gb. I don'think i'm going back though, gb is 10 times more stable.

Thanks for the help.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michal89chz:
try CM...
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadowcareful:
Lol since newest build of cm10 with omx i have the same sometimes i have freezes in videos but not in games only in videos so i think it's maybe an omx problem?
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gumball3000:
For me, gb is like a fresh breath of air after months of jb frustration. I really don't think a custom rom can fix all the problems that official jb has. Games run perfectly now, no more caller id lag, nicer keyboard, no freezes and so on. I value reliability more than looks and that's what gb has to offer. If anyone fins himself in the same situation as me, i really recommend him rolling back to gb and feel the differennce!

//Also, i appreciate the extra battery life.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michal89chz:
Try, and you will see, CM is free of that bugs from official JB and is more smooth thqn GB but it have own some bugs.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gumball3000:
Camera not working, gps not working or sound bugs, no thanks.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michal89chz:

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shadowcareful:
So i reflashed now cm10 wiped only cache and no freezes anymore :D maybe you should wait for next version of Cm 10 and flash it then because it is an amazing rom :D gps bug ? Have no gps bug if you're talking about cm10

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c3bc3b:
I am puzzled and confused about the /efs folder.

I have a P1000 which was running a January nightly build of CM10; this worked, including the telephone function, sort of...

I then upgraded to Android 4.2.2, CM10.1 from 21030728 - which works much better BUT it lost all the telephone capabilities (it shows Baseband version unknown). After much digging I think understood correctly that I must have ruined my /efs folder.

I do have previous /efs folder copies (not made with any particular tool) on my external SD card but even using something like Root Browser or Root File Manager to copy an old version (in which the telephone worked) to write over the existing /efs folder I do not regain access to the phone function.

My questions are these, if anyone can explain to me what is happening for I would like to understand:

1. I tried to delete the existing /efs folder (using Root Browser and Root File Manager) but it does not delete: why?

2. I am clearly doing something wrong when trying to copy an old version in order to write over the existing one (which does not work): what and why and how do I get around this to make it work?

3. How does Android protect the /efs folder and is there a way to get round this?

i have read far and wide but so much seems to be contradictory or inconsistent. Or is there a place where all is explained (and if so where?).

Thank you in advance.

Hello,

I had the same problem. I have restocked my Galaxy Tab but it did not work. I have tried to flash the modem with odin and it works! After reboot my Galaxy Tab i have Signal and the imei is restored. I have root my Galaxy Tab again and flash CM10.1 and it works prefect. I have now CM10.1 on my tab and i can use phone functions and the imei is restored. Have you tried to restock it and flash the modem with odin?

Good Luck!

Alright guys, the title does not say it all :p

Today I succesfully unlocked the bootloader and installed this recovery http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2167381 (installed the one with the same build number)

then I tried installing this rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2354328 ( tried v1)

Before install I performed a dalvik cache, cache wipe and data/factory reset, you know, just in case.

The install went fine, but it went in a boot loop.

Had to flash officiall firmware with Flashtool and now it's stock again.

But I really want to have this rom, what do i do now?

Thanks in advance

You could have asked on the ROM thread instead of starting a new one. To use a 4.3 ROM you need a 4.3 kernel.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Indian Devil:
Hello all

I am using Mega 5.8 for 15 days now, everything is great. . Battery too is fine works for the whole day and some more but I find it strange that after reaching 20% the battery dies within minutes and phone shuts down. I thought that might be due to new battery but after 10+ recharge cycles this behavior have not changed.

Can anyone confirm that its a common thing with Mega 5.8 or there's some issue with my device.

Also while we are at it any idea when we might get 4.3 update for Mega?

Thankd
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gauravxda:
Ditto !

I have the same problem . battery reaches 15% and then dies off in no time... So i take my battery as 85% generally . Not sure whats going wrong . But seems like firmware problem . Guys any solution ?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gx3k:
If you have root you can use Battery calibration app from the Play store.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gauravxda:
Thanks for the heads up gx3k , but just to clarify i am not new to rooting :( . Have galaxy S2 which is full blown modified .

I downloaded battery calib app and deleted stats like 10 times...tried to manually delete the stats bin folder....but nothing has worked . I feel the culprit is the rom .
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Indian Devil:
Haven't rooted the phone but don't believe this to be a calibration issue.

May be its firmware but how to confirm unless we get an update.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] remondt:
Same problem with me :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] gauravxda:
Just try this . One you are in middle of your discharge like around 50% just remove the battery for 20 secs and put it back . You will see in battery you have already lost 10-12% of battery . I think this is the case of either wrong battery reporting or bad batteries. Just have to wait for a custom rom to cross check this .
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] fredbvalani:

Very few users complain about this, maybe because there are only a few of us or it is not an issue as very seldom users remove the battery?

As for me when the level goes between 20-30% which is usually on the 3rd day I recharge the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] aakashdahake:
Dude Battery callibration could help you .. same condition was wid me .. i callibrated n now my battery is MEGA now

1.Root ur fone

2.drain your battery to zero

3.short all your battery terminals to make sure your battery is totally dead..

4.then charge your battery to 100%

5.n press CALLIBRATE from ur callibration software.

i will like to tell you that some processes drain ur battery very rapidly ,, i removed some apps n processes and now battery lasts,

so i will advise u too flash ur fone completly takin ur data backedUp..
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] pa49:
Whatever you do "DO NOT SHORT YOUR BATTERY TERMINALS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE" That's a fire hazard. Lithium Ion batteries can generate massive heat very quickly and have been known to explode on occasions.

Practise good battery management by charging your battery whenever possible and keep it on charge for as long as you can. This will condition it to give maximum performance.

Remember you can't get a battery to give any more power than it has from the charge you give it.

Calibration does nothing to the battery it only allows the software to monitor more accurately.

Lithium Ion batteries should never be allowed to discharge below a preset level as they will then die and will not charge again
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] nezt94:
lol im about to create a thread about this issue, i thought its only me who experienced this issue,, i've encounter this problem as well,, everytime the battery reach the 15% or the low battery warning, it drains very fast from 15 to 1% it just like about 2 minutes then my phone shuts off due to very low battery level

oh yea,, try the *#0228# it shows the real battery %. in my experience,, from 40% battery suddenly drop to 18%. btw for the calibration apps from the playstore, it just delete your batterystats.bin which have no benefit at all. anyone who encounter this problem please share your experience
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bongski55:
I installed Battery Notifier and adjusted the low battery alarm at 25% . It is just a workaround but it serves the purpose.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] nezt94:
so.. what do you think? is this a software issue or a hardware issue?? cuz if its hardware issue, my mega and the battery still under warranty. iam confused is it really US who encounter this issue or the others didnt realize it cuz they never drain their battery until 15%.

okay our issue is NOT about BATTERY LIFE, but about BATTERY PERCENTAGE,, DUDE.

in this review the reviewer encounter the same issue like us

"A couple of times we experienced a sharp dip in battery life when the levels went below 20 percent"
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bongski55:
Hardware or software I don't really know.

As I use the mega 5.8 as my daily phone I see to it that I dont go below 20%. And evry other day or a maximum of 3 days I always recharge my phone. Perhaps other users have a similar routine so very few if any, complain about the issue on this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] nezt94:
yea, i think thats why only few people who noticed this issue, they rarely use their phone below 20%. btw i just post a new thread in samsung developers forum, dont know where to report this issue so i post it there lol

The latest Indian fw and AMJ2 that I have. Well there have been more than a thousand who took notice of this thread but only a few responses. I guess this is not really a big deal for most readers. Besides constant depletion of the battery would make it deteriorate faster. So the best thing is to avoid getting to 20% level. Problem solved.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] bongski55:
My research found this line on the build.prop elsewhere: "ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0
